Party Weekend!hehe...

Attended two birthday celebrations in two straight nights!Yaaay...So amusing because this rarely happens hehe...
Last Saturday, August 24, the post birthday celebration of Jelaine Abendan, the charming eight-year-old daughter of Jerome, was held at their house somewhere in Makati. Her actual birthday was last August 21 but due to bad weather, Jerome decided to postpone it on weekend. We went there at half past 5:00 in the afternoon, there was a slight downpour, the environment went gloomy again.

Jelaine Abendan celebrated her 8th birthday last August 21 but the actual party 
was held  three days later due to bad weather

Actually it was my first time to be with some kababayans I did not see in recent years so I was a little bit apprehensive, you know the feeling when you're in a gathering and you came in very late and met some guests not quite familiar, you felt like a dead meat hehehe! But after settling myself and find comfort in one corner, I became at ease.

Everyone was busy, either drinking or singing, so I left with no one to mingle, wrapped up in my own thoughts, I darted my gaze at the four corners of the house and at the TV screen.  When Jelaine went downstairs, I grabbed the opportunity and dashed towards her, she's so smart and charming!

I have a slight reservation when attending a party because I don't drink liquor, beer or softdrinks and I don't eat Pork and junk foods, so I became so out-of-place that the only thing I gained is boredom, people might think I am killjoy, an alien who had just fallen from Jupiter, but I could not simply pretend that I am amused. I don't enjoy much with videoke when I am in a party because I don't sing in public hehe! I just loved long conversation, so I always look around for someone to talk. 

Then yesterday, we went out again for another birthday celebration, not sure where's the exact location of that place hehe! It was the natal day of Gloria Soco. We've been acquaintance since high school, we used to be members of DBC, the guests were the same as the other night at Jelaine's birthday so I felt okay . We arrived there at around 7:00 in the evening, thanks to Aldrin Banas for his generosity of allowing us to ride in his van.

Another boredom attack haha!Gosh, what do I do to make myself so comfortable with this kind of event?Felt like I've a different wavelength. I am not really like this back in Davao. I also frequently went out with friends attending parties and I enjoyed much...hmmm...maybe it has something to do with the set-up and the atmosphere.

So last night, I made tons of effort to entertain myself, so I joined Gloria's daughters in their own little childish world, talking to them, laughing, giggling, playing at the foyer of the house, it made my night less stressful anyway.

We went home past 12:00 midnight...

THE QUEST

In life, people have different quests,  everyone is looking and striving to get that little big thing, no one entertains defeats because people expected us to rise above the stars. Society expects us to be more competitive and feisty, courageous and brisk, active and goal-oriented where failures and mistakes are not tolerated. Everyone is racing with time. A person who will sit comfortably in a foyer waiting for the sun to fade in the horizon considers lazy with no life’s direction and someone who loves to chase butterflies in the backyard categorizes as stupid and idiot. The 21 st century gives us a different definition of life. Technology rustles, making everything instant, walking through a quiet, windy road is no longer relaxing and listening to the whistling of the leaves is no longer melodious. Technology averted it and suggested other ways. If you want to hear songs, try Youtube, if you want to relax and play, try Facebook, if you want to stalk famous figures, try Twit

Positive Outlook to face Another Year

Image
I've finally grown up. Emotionally.  I know it's not a phenomenon to brag on at the start of another year, others might find it completely nonsense and somewhat funny, but it's an assertion with myself that I finally get rid of those petty trepidations. It's a personal confrontation. Like facing the mirror, looking at my real self, groping where those hazy feelings of burdens, fears, apprehensions and discomforts hid. I've finally outgrown the fascination towards astrology. Back then, each new year I would scramble to search the internet how the stars and all those ancient symbols of horoscope would influence my fate, I would make frequent trips to the national bookstore to find books on tarot card readings, dreams interpretation and Chinese astrology hoping to get clear explanations why my life gone haywire. It's so stupid to think that I entertained these "little madness" when it's in direct defiance to my Catholic faith. Posit

My First Travel Abroad!

Image
Got a taste of real life adventure outside the country! :-D Back in my high school years, I often wondered what's on the other side of the continent, how people lived, what the environment looks like, the culture, the food, the lifestyle and the feeling of being in a completely different place. So I dreamed of going to another land, not necessarily to work, but to satisfy my curiosity and explore new learnings and experiences. Then one day, a good friend, Maribeth Galindo, coordinator of the social science division at UIC, told me to join their group for a leisure trip to Hongkong and Macau after summer break and because my passport will about to expire early next year with no single stamp yet from the immigration, I wasted no time and agreed. For the next three months, I became preoccupied with our itinerary plan, listing down everything I could think for this trip, I also did some research on different tourist spots around Hongkong and Macau and what public transp
