How it used to be and how it has been.

I made this post because I just saw the movie “Toy Story” and all those memories of my childhood days began sinking back in my head. I just need to let it out.

I miss those days when things were practically fun and easy.When making friends was not really that hard because everybody were easy to get along with and you don’t have to worry about whether you can trust him/her to be your friend, as long as you’re having fun then all just flows right in. Sure we fight, but saying sorry was easy back then and so is forgiving.

I miss those cute lockers we had during kindergarten years. I don’t know why but I just love the sight of our lockers whenever I’m in the classroom. So colorful and so full of random things.

Our playground wherein we wish to play all day and girls not worrying about getting sweaty and being boyish in action. Being surrounded with people who aren’t judgmental but only cares about having fun.

Being an adult is different. Now that I’m an adult, I have bigger responsibilities. People expect me to do things like “this” “that” “those”. It can be a bit of a pressure because once you fall down, it ain’t easy to get back up. Most of the time, you’re on your on. There are so many expectations which are hard to ignore. They expect you to strive everyday, improve, and always aim high at things. Can things still be the same when I was just a kid? Others say they make you ready when the right opportunity comes. What if that opportunity never comes? What if you were wrong in your goals? What would then happen?

I think it’s best to think that despite being an adult, trying to think like a kid (not to the point of regression) would do good. It helps us on how to take things that we may encounter along the way. Things such as  success, or even failures. Life’s too beautiful and exciting to be taken so seriously like a boring daily routine, we should know that it’s good to pause and relax once in a while and maybe take a walk and reminisce those childhood days. I don’t regret anything about my childhood years but I’m simply happy about it because of the good memories I get to reminisce on once in a while. I miss all of it, but I’m not regretful or sad when I remember those days, instead  I simply see myself smiling. I’m proud and thankful of my childhood years because it has a big impact on what I have become right now as an adult and as a person. HAPPY MEMORIES KEEP PEOPLE HAPPY AND SO LET’S CONTINUE ON MAKING THEM.

Gulaman Palamig – Summer cooler

This is my attempt to make something delicious and refreshing for summer I got the idea from my blockmate while we were talking about the weather (which was very hot-34ºC). This was also inspired by the street vendors just near the University.

 

First thing I did was bought the powdered type gulaman and boiled it to about 1.4L of water.

 

I waited till it became a bit sticky and put it in a container for it to cool down.

After it cooled down, I sliced it to tiny squares (you can slice it to any shape you desire).

I then mixed it with condensed milk (the brand I used was “daisy” because it ain’t too sweet, just right) and ice cubes.

I put it in the freezer for a few hours and the result is simply “DELICIOUS”

This is just perfect for summer Something to take off the mind from the hot weather.

Bucket list #8 – Date a Foreign guy

I’ve always been curious to what it would be like to actually date a guy not from my own country. It might be interesting especially with the clash of different cultures and to how it would sink in and affect the interaction between us. It might also be wonderful because I’ll be able to get to learn new and different things from him that might broaden my knowledge and perspective about the world and vice versa. This is just a nice thought I like to ponder in and maybe in the future this might be possible

What Makes You Beautiful cover by Joseph Marco

This guy is an actor in our country but he’s not really that popular (for me). I don’t know if I’m the one who’s isolated from the world of media or something but I just knew him recently when I saw this cover of his and DANG! he’s got the voice that would make my stoned heart melt to pieces. hahaha! The first time I heard his voice, I just fell in-love with it. Plus he’s good looking so he’s now officially my new boyfriend (when I’m dreaming in my sleep). This guy’s name is Joseph Marco and I’m again in “head over heels, drool for him, fan girl mode”. It’s rare that I get crushes from local actors but then he’s one of my exemptions. WHY? because he’s voice is so soothing and deep and not to mention he got the looks and charm

Amanpulo Island Resort, Palawan.

This is my very dream vacation ever since I could remember. When I first laid eyes on its beautiful scenery pictures, I immediately told myself that  this place would definitely be one of my must-visit places. But despite my huge determination to go to this place, I still doubt if I could ever visit this place because base on the researches I’ve made, most of the people who have been there are wealthy, rich, or of the upper class.. I’m not. I have financial problems within my family, struggling college student, and soon to be someone who is unemployed for ” I don’t know how long but hopefully not quiet long”, so my dreams of visiting Amanpulo (which means “peaceful island” and considered as Heaven on earth as they say) will have to wait for a very looooong time. I’m not even sure if I’ll be given the opportunity to step on this place. This place is very private and secluded, the best for those really stressed out people or those public figures (actors,politicians,socialites,etc.) who seek quiet and private time with loved ones or just themselves or those who simply just want to enjoy a peaceful and breathtaking, beautiful surrounding. I ain’t really that much of a stressed out person, not even close to being a public figure but I still would want to visit this place. I’m in-love with it.

 

 

If given the chance even for just one night, I would totally grab it. It would be a dream come true. Oh Amanpulo! whyyyy do I have to fall for you this hard?

Saving won’t be enough base on my current status. I need to work hard to achieve this dream. I would want to bring my family here where we can enjoy, relax, and spoil ourselves with the luxuries the island has to offer. Hopefully, I’ll be visiting this place soon. I just need to study and work harder. This would be one of those blessings I’ll be awaiting and will receive in the future from all my hardwork. HOPEFULLY.  :)

My first EVER Airplane experience

IT WAS AWESOME and SIMPLY AMAZING ! I just can’t believe it! I finally got over my fear of  heights and for the first time I was able to arrive at a destination via Airplane.

We were supposed to ride on a bus but plans were changed and so came the airplane.

I got the seat beside the window which was nerve wracking at first, I almost puked when the plane made a turn (thank goodness I didn’t ) but it all turned out great because I had the best view from above. The buildings, cars, people, mountains, and trees all looked so tiny and cute. It only took me about ten to twenty minutes to adjust to my situation wherein I wasn’t feeling nauseated anymore.

Here’s a pic of mine with friends before going on the ride. It was definitely a good first for me. I want to ride an airplane again!
