Manila Day 3
I woke up at around 9:30 am, took a bath, ate breakfast, and prepared for a day of gallivanting around. At around 11 am, Kuya, Winston, and I met up with Juned. After a while, Ate Aileen also arrived. We went to Binondo. YEY! We ate at Estero where we had Yang Chow Fried Rice, Scallops with Mushrooms, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Oyster Cake. YUM YUM YUM! After lunch, we met up with Benj. We went on a search for Quickly. LOL! But failed miserably... we spent more time walking around more than anything else. Well, there were also lotsa camwhoring. After Binondo, they went to Intramuros while I hailed a cab to go to Taft. I visited Mineski Grounds. I was able to meet a lot of the DotA players I chat with or play with over G Arena. My ex was there and he was like... uhmmm.... hmmm.... ah, eh... he ignored me. LOL! I also met up with Davao player Yukz who is trying to move to Manila and needed professional and personal advice. Awww... bonding kami! The friendliest people there were Vini, Tony, Roro, Khen, and Papa Bong. :P By 6 pm, I left to…
Moments Like This
It's 5 am. I can't sleep. I finished my iBlog presentation a few hours ago. Been doing some last minute blogging tasks. Just finished chatting with a friend... and now I'm crying. It hit me... been waiting for this moment for months. Now it's here. But things have changed significantly. And there's really nowhere to go but forward. But this moment now, I wish I can go back and change just one bit of time so the next moments would be better. DAMN DAVID COOK! DAMN MARIAH CAREY! DAMN!!! {Thing is when I started crying... I thought... this is sooo BLOGGABLE! I SHOULD BLOG THIS! LOL!}
Doubt
"If in doubt, don't." I don't really remember where and when I heard this line, but it has stuck with me since. Right now, my head is clouded with great doubt. While I trust people, there is this nagging feeling that something is not right. I don't know what exactly, but I know there's something wrong. I hate doubting people, but for now, I think it's best to think of myself first and trust my instincts.
Something I Just Have to Say
I once read that the thing we hate most about other people is a reflection of the thing that we hate most about ourselves. Say for example, we hate how other people are sarcastic. It says something about how we hate how we are also, in some ways, sarcastic. In more ways, than I would like to admit, I think there is a lot of truth to this. Some amount of introspection has made me become more patient and somehow accepting of other's faults, or for a more accurate term... my pet-peeves. Because somehow, these pet-peeves are the things I hate in myself. I hate people who are late, because I hate it when I'm late. I hate it when people disregard other people's feelings, because I hate it when I do or say things without thinking twice how it would affect other people. I hate it when people give their opinion without really backing up what they say, or when they say things just because it is convenient for them to say these things. Because I regret it when I open my mouth without really knowing the bigger picture, or without really being involved in the things I am…
Disconnected
Did you ever feel like life is happening around you but you are not a part of it? That's what I feel right now. I feel a sort of disconnection with the world, like things are happening around me and I'm too caught up with the different things I am busy with to be part of the bigger picture. It's like there's that great big world out there... and I'm not part of it. I have the life I'm living and all the work I'm doing. I am actually quite happy with my life right now. But it feels like something is missing. It's like I do not belong to the world where other people are, like I have this tiny space, all to myself... a bubble where all that exists is me and my life and nobody can really fully understand who I am, what I feel, what I am doing. I also feel like a fish in an aquarium. Isolated, not with others but seen by others. I'm not a celebrity, but my blogs sometimes act like that glass wall that separates me from the outside world. It separates me, and at the same time, it broadcasts and…
