the (mis)adventures of an allstar girl

2018-09-29T03:27:00.001+08:00

Since now I have opened the floodgates (wow), I feel myself drawn towards writing again. I feel a certain compulsion to just tap away at the keys and just type whatever comes to mind. If you notice I do not have anything in particular to say, but I'm still writing anyway.

I also want to add, I have been having this idea for a long time now. I actually want to write fiction maybe on Wattpad first? I don't know, I have this idea of an epistolary type of story. It can be the narrator writing a diary or sending letters. I have seen enough and read enough to believe that I can actually do this if I put my mind to it. (Way to motivate myself, yay!)

So. What I don't know is where to write that. Should it be here still?

Back to the Future

Wow. Six years have passed since I last posted here. 6 YEARS!!!

A lot has happened since then. And when I say a lot, I mean, A LOT. (Notice how I repeat things for emphasis?)

When I started this blog, I just intended this to be a diary of sorts. I wanted a venue to be able to write my thoughts, about something real or otherwise. This wasn't my first stab at blogging mind you. I used to do it on Tumblr. Then again, tumblr has now become a Tinder of sorts in the blogging world so I kind of was turned off by it now. I do have friends who still use it as their domain, so I still go and look at it from time to time.

The reason why I opened this again was because I received an email notification by Google verifying me as the owners of this account. I realized that I actually forgot I even had this blog to begin with. And was pleasantly surprised that I actually had earnings from it. $20. Ha!

In 2012, I was only 24. I was still teaching English as a Second Language for Koreans, mostly. I did not have a health insurance, no bank account and was still single.

2018, I am now 30. Still teaching, but now in a BPO setting. I also now have a health insurance (one of the benefits from my employer), have my own savings, albeit, small. And I am now MARRIED. Or should I say, STILL MARRIED (we've separated if you want to know, and we're both in different relationships). My son is now turning 10 (TEN!!!), I've met and made new friends and cut off communication with some. I've made wrong decisions in life, and made the best ones.

And you know what? I don't regret anything. I am actually happy with where I am right now, who I'm with and what I've become. Who would've thunk, huh?

Nerds Candy. This was the candy that I grew up munching on. Some say they have a sweet tooth. I think I have a sour tooth.

And this is one more of my "nakuha-sa-baul" (dug-from-the-chest) posts. This actually came from my Friendster blog. FRIENDSTER.

Anybody still remember it? The first social networking site that we got addicted to.

TITLE: Pagpapalobo ng Laway = Instant Happiness

Masaya maging masaya..nasubukan mo na ba? Marahil para sa iba napaka walang kwenta ng tanong na ‘yan. Malamang isipin pa nila, “Duh,lahat naman ng tao sumasaya”.Pero ano nga ba ang sukatan ng totoong kasiyahan? Kung mga batang paslit ang iyong tatanungin, bigyan mo lang daw ng candies (take note: with “s” so ibig sabihin dapat marami!) eh masaya na daw sila. Kundi naman candies ay yung makatanggap sila nung pinakaasam-asam nilang laruan galing sa magulang o ninong/ninang.

Para naman sa mga taong may pagka “deep” ang personalidad, yung mga tipong philanthropist kuno ay masaya na daw sila ‘pag nakikita nila ang iba na naging masaya dahil sa kanila (weh..maniwala?! mas okay pa rin mkatanggap ng regalo ‘diba? o kaya cash na lang! HAHAHA!!)

Pero kunsabagay nga naman, ibang satisfaction naman talaga ang mararamdaman mo sa mga ganung instances diba? Kung ako ang tatanungin mo..hmm… mababaw lang naman talaga ang kaligayahan ko. Ako kasi yung tipong halos makita na ang lungs sa kakatawa na parang bang wala ng bukas kahit corny yung jokes. Ako din yung ‘di pa man nasasabi ang punchline sa sarili kong joke eh natatawa na agad (yung mga “audience” ko tawa naman ng tawa ‘di dahil sa joke ko kundi dahil sa tawa ko).Masaya na ako ‘pag nakakapanuod ng Jumong sa gabi, One Piece sa hapon at Detective Conan sa umaga (in no particular order). Sumasaya din ang araw ko ‘pag nakakapagkape ako sa umaga (at sa hapon, sa gabi, at sa…) Masaya na din ako ‘pag ako ay naalalang padalhan ng mga kaibigan ko ng jokes, quotes at yung mga txt na “eL0w p0h..”

(Uso na pala ang jejemon kahit nuon. )

Pero ang talagang nakakapagpassaya sa akin eh pag nasasagutan ko lahat ang (*drumroll*) SUDOKU Puzzles!!! (talon sa ere sabay sigaw ng “YESS!!!”)

Ganyan po kababaw si Keshia DolcÈ Megan!!! (cringe alert)

Ganyan lang naman kadaling sumaya ‘diba? Kaya nakapagtataka kung bakit meron pa ring nagpapakamatay dahil daw sa sobrang kalungkutan.Sa Amerika nga may mga “anti-depressants” pa daw na pine-prescribe! Sus! Eh manuod ka lang ng BubbleGang o Takeshi’s Castle solve na!! O kung gusto mo yung Bulagaan pa! Pero kung ang pag panuod sa mga nabanggit eh ‘di pa rin effective, ba’t di nyo sundin yung “advice” ni Kyne?

Para maging masaya ka eh magpalobo ka lang daw ng laway mo. 100x!! =)

Jurassic Era

2012-06-27T10:16:00.001+08:00

Let me share something I wrote more than a year ago. The time when I was still in the bandwagon.
And yes, my Twitter friends, I also had been addicted to Facebook once upon a time. Gah!

Today marks the start of my hiatus from Facebook. I somehow feel a little bit isolated. Even if I still have my phone. I guess that’s what you get for being so addicted to this social networking site. Because let’s be honest, Facebook ( or FB, as it is more known) has become our key in feeling good about ourselves, whether we admit it or not. FB brings out the narcissist in you. It also brings you closer (as close as you can get in FB, that is) to your long-lost friends. I, for one, had been able communicate with my friends whom I haven’t seen or talked to in 15 years! Imagine?

But of course there is still a downside to this. You can get addicted to it. Instead of going out with your peers, you hang out in FB. Instead of flashing smiles, you flash Smileys. Instead of having real conversations, we comment. Instead of complimenting personally, we like. Instead of chatting up a buddy, we poke. But hey, who am I to talk? I’m one of those. I belong to the “we”.

But of course, these are just the sentiments of a bitchy, FB whore.

iWrite

Well, I have been putting this off or quite sometime now. I was deluding myself that I could have monetary gain through this. Yeah right. Who was I kidding anyway? I mean was I really expecting wide readership overnight? That I would have followers after making this? Honest answer? Yes. I was THAT conceited. I was that self-absorbed that I didn't realize immediately that I was just a nobody in this world of wide web.

And now that the pressure's off, I feel the thoughts flowing freely from my brain to my fingertips (keyboards, y'know). I don't care if the only reader I have is my partner. I'm going to stick to my original purpose creating this blog - to write.

For the longest time, I have been a frustrated writer. I have plenty of thoughts up in my head, stories poems or just musings and what-nots. But everytime I try to put them on paper (or type them, in my case now) everything just goes pfft! Things that seemed witty and interesting suddenly become lackluster when put on paper.

So now, with renewed conviction (fight!), I SHALL WRITE!

The First

2011-03-22T16:33:00.001+08:00

This is my first entry here. This is not my first blog and this is definitely not the first time that I've written something which is not for a school project or anything. The eagle recovers around a mark!
