November 20, 2024 - Urbandub
Just a 6-minute compilation of clips. May kwento pa 'to, and will just put everything including other random photos on my blogspot because i know, it's umay na and why not keep my blogspot updated 'cause old school is cool! 😝
P.S.: This kwento is still in process. Antok na ako. Hahaha. Update ko na lang ito every now and then. Sa ngayon, ito muna.
Updated: Nov. 22, 2024, Friday
Just like i promised that i'll be updating this post. So...Urbandub gig. Just a quick background, not about the band but at how i started liking them. Should i say i am a fan? Well, i stan them ever since year 2003 when their Embrace album was released. Most popular song and the first song i liked was Soul Searching. I was first acquainted of this band because of my besfren Jeeboy and his other friends who became also my friends. And the friends of their friends became also my friends and the connection goes on. Hehe. Jeeboy were in a band, so sometimes when they had the chance to play somewhere they were invited to, Jeeboy would sometimes tag me along. Those were the times. Super fun! We were so young during those times! We were in our early 20s. We used to hang out until the year 2010 i guess? And as we grow old, we seldom hang out. Each one of us had to go on with our lives.
Now, Jeeboy and I still hang out until now though not that often but when we see each other, parang kahapon lang kami nagkita. Nothing's changed. Kahit year pa ang nakalipas. Wait, mag-Tagalog na tayo. Ang hirap mag-english eh. So last few months lang, i guess August or September nag announced ang Urbandub on their fb page that they will be having a gig at Baguio on November. So me, not that excited, pero i had this urge na sige why not go to this gig since they are one of my favorite alternative rock local bands. Honestly this was my first time seeing them live though lagi sila dito sa Dagupan every Bangus Festival or during any event na maimbitahan sila, i never go see them live. Unang una, napakaraming tao. I hate the crowds. Sa totoo lang. Ayoko nakikipagsiksikan sa mga crowds dito sa Dagupan. No offense ha. Kahit na i am from here. Hahaha. Nagpupunta ako sa kalutan ed dalan dati. I think mga twice or thrice lang then hindi na naulit. Yun yung mga times na need ko talagang pumunta kasi nagoorganize kami ng get together ng mga batchmates ko nung high school. Kaya alam ko na kung gaano karaming tao at kung gaano kalagkit at kainit during those times. Hahaha! Never again. Hinding hindi ako sumasadyang pumunta ng Bangus Fest just to watch my favorite band perform for free! Not in those kinds of set up. Sobrang hasel for me.
This time, sa Baguio naman, alam ko mas chill ang crowd dahil limited lang ang tickets. And i know yung klase ng crowd ng mga taga Baguio. Iba. Mas kumportable. Mas chill. Ewan pero i love the Baguio peeps! Mas civilized! Hehehe! Paumanhin sa mga tao sa baba. Peace.✌️😄 Taga baba din ako. 😆
Anyway, here are the other random pictures taken. Mga walang kwenta naman din ang mga photos na ito. Naupload ko naman na sa IG ko yung ibang pictures.
Medyo maaga natapos yung gig. Pasado 10pm? And may dalawang bands pa na nagperform before Udub. Turncoats and Amateurish. Mga tubong Baguio! At ang gagaling nila! See? Mga artists talaga ang mga taga Baguio. Without a doubt.
So after nga nung event pasado alas diyes, trinay namin magpunta ng night market sa may harrison rd. dun sa puro pagkain dahil gutom na kami. Dito ang sobrang daming tao. Every night yata ganun dun, sinasara nila ang harrison. Nagkataon na weekend kaya ang daming tao. Ang dami ding food! Nilibot namin ni jeeboy pero para wala naman ako trip dahil parang puro kwek kwek, tokneneng, balut at shawarma lang nakikita ko! Foodie ako pero as of that moment, hindi ko trip yung kakain kang nakatayo tapos sobrang daming tao, ang haba ng pila. Gutom na gutom ka na tapos pipila ka pa rin nang napakatagal. Huwag na uy! So nagpunta na lang kami ng session rd. Naghanap ng pwedeng makainan ng ganun oras, mga 11:30pm na rin nun eh. Then oo nga pala, yung Pizza Volante 24hours silang open! Ayos sirin! So dun na lang namin napagdesisyunan na kumain. Hence, the pasta and the refillable brewed coffee sa mga pictures. Pizza Volante pero walang pizza?? Yes, natimingan namin na naubos na ang pizza nila that time and hindi pabraw prepared ang dough. Huhu, sayang. Yun pa naman ang masarap dun. Pero inferness masarap naman din yung mga pasta nila. Sulit na. Di naman sila overpriced.
After having our late dinner, around 1am na yata. Nagpunta na kami sa na-booked naming stay-in. Sa 3bu. Tig isa kami ng pods. Favorite ko na sa 3bu kasi super convenient lang niya and mura pa. Ok naman siya. Sulit na din kasi pagtulugan lang naman talaga ang purpose mo para hindi ka matulog sa burnham park na malamok at sobrang lamig. Hahaha. Sa 3bu you can spend for as low as 400 per head kapag sa upper bunker from 2pm check in until 12noon on the next day. Basta book early and online to avail their lowest fees. Air conditioned ang room, comfortable naman ang bed or bunker, may privacy, though may mga kasama kang ibang back packers, tahimik lang yung place, though common din ang cr, ok naman, nililinis naman siya lagi. I will be checking in again at 3bu kung may mga lagad ako sa Baguio na need ko ng over night stay.

August 23, 2024 - Limerence
Lagi na lang napapadaan sa fyp ko sa tiktok, facebook or saan mang social media site yung term na "Limerence". Well, yeah algorithm, i know, kasi madalas ko rin naman i-like kapag naeencounter ko 'to.
Let me define Limerence in my own understanding and based sa aking experience. Hehe.:
So Limerence, ito yung may crush ka pero di ka naman niya kina-crush-back. Hahaha! Yung pagka-crush mo sakanya umabot na sa point na delulu ka na. Ini-stalk mo lahat ng social media accounts niya. Umaasa ka na baka naman pwede maging kayo. Why not di ba? Posible naman pero hindi ka naman niya kinakausap, so paano? Hahaha! Madalas kang mag-imagine ng mga scenes na "kayo" doing what "being kayo" is supposed to be doing. Minsan napapanaginipan mo siya dahil lagi mo siyang iniisip. Ini-stalk mo nga kasi lagi ang fb profile niya, checking if he's online. Alam na alam mo kailan siya nag-oonline pero hindi ka naman niya china-chat. Hahaha! Lagi mo nga hina-heart ang mga shine-share niyang memes sa fb kahit wala namang kwenta. At dahil nga delulu ka, minsang mapa-heart din sa mga posts mo, akala mo naman may gusto na din siya sa-yo! Delulu amfufu! Hahaha! The list goes on and it's kinda pathetic.
So heto nanamn tayo sa crush crush na yan! Cringggee! Ang cheap! Ang pathetic di ba? Ito pa nga lang na pag-create ng entry about limerence is already one sign of limerence. "Jusko Mayan! Ang tanda mo na crush crush pa rin nasa isip mo! Dapat nga may asawa kana. Dapat may anak ka na. Tumatanda ka nang dalaga. Walang magaalaga sayo kapag tumanda ka. Sayang egg cells mo. Nabubulok na yung matres mo. Mamamatay kang mag-isa." Heto yung mga naririnig ko sa mga toxic people na nakapaligid sa akin. Hahahaha! Deym!
Wait. Parang ayoko na ituloy tong entry na to. Naisip ko lang naman na ilagay sa entry ko for this month yung Limerence eh. Medyo nawawalan nako ng motivation to write something. Yung may sense. I just want to vent out. Ang daming pumapasok sa isip ko. Ang dami ko din gustong gawin pero madalas tinatamad ako. Gusto ko na lang humilata sa kama buong araw. Do nothing and just think, think think. Is it the hormones? Or i'm just getting old. I don't know na.
Need ko rin siguro ng kausap. Pero kasi napansin ko rin madalas kapag once may nakakausap nako, ayoko na din bigla nang may kausap! Hahaha! Baliw na ba ako? Or is it because i'm a gemini. Heto na naman tayo sa mga zodiac signs na ito. May nabasa ako na isa sa mga nakaka turn off sa isang tao is yung mahilig sa mga zodiac zodiac signs na yan. Cringe daw? Totoo ba? Well..i think totoo. Haha!
Nalulungkot ba ako? Hindi ko din alam. Siguro? Pero hindi rin. Haha. Ang gulo ano? I'm not happy but i'm not sad either.
May nagbabasa ba nitong mga blogs ko? Kasi kung meron man, ang cringe ano?? Not sharing this to my social media sites kasi wala namang sense itong entry na to. Hehe. Gusto ko lang may mai-publish. Malalaman ko na lang na may nagbabasa nito kapag may nag-comment. Pero sana naman you could tell me who are my commenters pero nawawala din kasi yung suspense thinking na "sino kaya yung nagcomment na yun?"
Ayoko na. Bye. :)

August 5, 2024 - Ang Prinsesa at ang Gisantes
Ok, kwento: Speaking of "Princess and the Pea", naalala ko nung 1st year high school ako, may pina-homework sa amin sa Filipino subject na mag-summarize ng isang foreign fairy tale tapos itranslate sa Tagalog.
Criteria to get a perfect or a high grade should be in 500 words maximum and should be in 1 paragraph only. Not really sure kung 500 words nga ba talaga or 10 sentences. Hindi ko na maalala. Basta parang ganun na may limit sa number of words or sentences! 😄
Tapos yun na nga, napili ko ang "The Princess and the Pea". Sobrang privileged ko noon dahil sila mama bumibili talaga ng mga reading materials or books na mga pambata, e.g. compilation of signatured classic fairy tales. Yung mga books na naka-hard bound, makukulay, maraming drawings at makikintab na papel. Marami rin kaming references and sources kasi sila lola at lolo marami ring books, encyclopedias and dictionaries. Tapos yung pakarami raming set of encyclopedias topics arranged from A to Z. May mini library sila lolo noon. Mini library kasi may isang corner ng mga cabinet and shelves na puro books. And baka nga nakumpleto ni lolo lahat ng issue ng magazines ng National Geographic up until today kung nabubuhay pa si lolo ngayon. Speaking of National Geographic magazines ni lolo, i think nadisposed na lahat yun nung nababad sa baha. Sayang! 🙁
We were so "Privileged" back then dahil hindi na namin kinailangang pumunta pa ng school or public library para lang makapag-research. And take note, hindi pa uso ang internet at cellphone noon. Though may computers na, computers are not yet for everyone's use pa sa panahon na yun. So, thank you lola and lolo! We know you are partying hard na up there in heaven! Eyyy! 😄🤙
Balik tayo sa "The Princess and the Pea". So siyempre may book kami niyan noon at may English-Tagalog dictionary rin kami. Ngayon, may google translate na eh. Napakaswerte ng mga estudyante ngayon. Just right now in-enter ko sa google translate ang Tagalog ng "The Princess and the Pea",... it's "Ang Prinsesa at ang Gisantes". Papahirapan ko pa ba ang sarili ko na alalahanin kung anong Tagalog ng Pea?? So siguro nga ganyan yung title na sinulat ko noon.
Another requirement ng homework activity na yun is dapat type written sa isang short coupon bond. 1 inch margin on all 4 sides. Wow! Naalala ko pa! Haha! Dahil nung time na yun wala kaming typewriter, nakiusap ako sa bestfriend ko nung high school na si "Bekang" na i-typewritten yung sa akin since alam ko sila may typewriter sila. Binigay ko kay "Beks" yung summary ko para siya na ang mag-type. Ako ang gumawa nung summary ha, hindi ako nagpatulong kay mama. Ako ang nagsulat from scratch. Ako. 😄
Then ayun na nai-submit naman on time. Nai-check then returned back na to us to see how we did. And yes and of course, i got a perfect grade on that work! 10/10! Beks, my bestfriend, i think also got a perfect grade on her work too. Naalala niyo ba noon na kapag nagbabalik ng activities na nasa coupon bond, isa isang inaannounce kung ilan ang nakuha mong grade sa harap ng buong klase? Well, ganun yung eksena noon.
So eto na nga, ang highlight ng aking story for today. Hahaha! Habang tinatawag ang name and binabanggit ang scores, may palakpakan na may kasamang kantsawan yan. When it's my name na being called, boom perfect score nga! Siyempre i'm elated and proud of myself. Pinaghirapan ko yun eh! Then in the middle of my moment, meron kaming isang atribida na kaklase na bigla bigla na lang nagsalita out loud in front of everybody, "Ta si "M (real name ng bff ko) ang gumawa!" So nasabi ko na lang siguro sa sarili ko that time, "WHAT?? Tengena ka!" Hahahaha! Panira ng moment amfufu! Take note, lalaki siya! Inggit ang qaqu!
I don't mean to be mysogynist or whatever pero hindi ko kasi ineexpect na sasabihin yun ng isang male classmate ko. Though right after naman niya sabihin yun, may "Joke lang" sabay tawa, well mej napahiya din ako nun noh. Hayop! Hahaha!
Wala naman kaming naging tampuhan nung classmate ko na yun after. Alam naman naming lahat na mapangasar lang talaga siya. Hindi ko lang talaga makalimutan yung eksenang yun sa Filipino subject na yun! Gahd that was already 26 years ago na pala! Hahaha!
Hanggang ngayon naman friends kami. And lately lang naging pasyente ko pa yung anak niya. Hahaha. Turns out, naging crush niya pala ako nung high school! Hahaha! What are the odds?! 😁

May 26, 2024 - Decade Four
Today marks the first hour of my 4 decades of existence in this so called planet Earth.
I have come to acknowledge that, just like Jon Snow, I still "Know Nothing".
There's still so much to learn, places to go, emotions to contemplate and control, people to meet and build rapport (and be disappointed by their existence and wished you have not met them anyway and end up being a misanthrope). Kidding. 🤣
Those realizations are enough reasons to always remember to remain humble, be appreciative and be grateful for everything, for this gift of life, for the good, and the bad and the ugly that comes with it. For there's always pros and cons, negative-positive, ups and downs, yin and yang.
This day might also be the best day to apologize to the people i called old at 40 when i was a lot younger. 'Cause now i finally get it when they said, they effin' do not know what the f*** they were doing back then either. Sorry... The meme was true all along! Hahaha!
I have also finally accepted that i could no longer go back to sizes XS and S. It's now M if i wanna feel confidently fanciable but regret it later anyway because you don't know how greatly i endured tucking my bloated pot in just to look like it was the same as when i was 18. So L would probably be my most comfortable fit now, where i could move freely and won't struggle tucking in and holding my breath for a long period of time. 😅
In addition to body changes 😅, this day might also be the best time to regret not listening to our elderly when they said, take good care of your health. Junk the junks! Get enough sleep and exercise daily. Because, deym! I still consider myself young ha but my back feels like it's seventy-ish na! Age diseases also starting to get evident! It's all true! And yes, "Noooooo!" will also be my reaction! 🤣
Lastly, but will never be the last grasp in all of these 40-ish drama, is that never feeling bad ever again for myself for making a lot of mistakes. In fact, making mistakes is the key to learning anything in this world. I have finally embraced the essence of never regreting any of the decisions i made because it will only lead to another decision-making anyway! Then to another mistake, then to another, and then to another mistake to learn from. It's an endless loop! Why waste a stew?
You will prolly still see me making mistakes and might get famous by making a lot of it. Suure..i will get hurt and get scars along the way. Every battle won't be that easy. But, oh no! You will never see me succumb. These scars are my medium to the peak!
