call me baby


Insane…

My sissy has gone nuts! I can’t believe it.

Imagine, she told me, “girl, I think it’s time for you to marry!”

Like huh?!?! Can you hear yourself? Are talking Greek? Am I pregnant? LOL
Not that I am tolerating, but, at this age? At this time of my life? And the bigger question is, who’s the groom?

As I’ve said before, one of my wildest dreams is to marry at 23. (My mum married at 20.) But I’m past the age so it will always be a wild dream. 25, this age, yes, I can marry. In fact, I feel I am ready for it. So much for being independent.

But yun na nga, sino? Like if pwede pa lang bumili, bibili ako ng lima at itatry ko na agad sino sa kanila ang magwork. But hindi nga ganun, it’s Love or nothing. Bakit naman ako papasok sa isang relationship na kahit mag holding hands e di ko maimagine, what’s the point?

And although there are few guys who come in contact with me, asking choovachoo, di naman ganun kadali yun. It takes time. Ewan ko ba, minsan over naman tung puso ko, parang walang nakikita. Sa isip ko, ok na e, go na, sa puso ko, di parin.

Undeniably, I get all panicky lalo na when people my age are going steady, about to marry or has a developing fetus inside. I get silent and trapped in a pandora’s box, thinking, bakit ba kay tagal naman nung akin?

Or maybe, I am too idealistic, baka afterall, my beliefs and principles are nothing but stupid hindrances to further growth? Hay naku! Depressing. My sissy told me, “know how to ride the boat, if it gets wavy, wave, if it gets faster, go fast, and don’t be too one-sided, that’s foolish.”

Yun na nga e, ang laki ng problema ko. One flaw, leads to another, and another until totally X na! hay buhay. I can’t imagine my life not having a hubby and yes, kiddos. That would make my biggest fears come alive.

This may sound lame, but since ikaw at ako lang naman makakabasa nito, pwede ko na ring sabihing, mejo overdue na talaga ako sa deadline. Pero ano naman gagawin ko, go for it kahit di naman intense yung feelings ko?

Minsan may mga lalake ding nakakainis e, gusto mo na nga, pa ayaw ayaw pa. Susme naman, e ako pa ang mag eeffort? Flirting 101? Oh come on! I may have the face of a flirty flirt but seriously, ako’y isang aminadong Maria Clara! So come to my terms or walang mangyayari.

And siguro nga mali yun, kasi from the past, walang umeffort ng bongga, so maybe I am asking too much. Hay ayoko nang isipin, nakakapagod.

Basta Lord, tulungan nyo naman po ako, kung sino man sya magpakita na sya at ng mabistahan. Di ba Lord, sa bawat kaldero may nakalaang takip, may nakalaang takip naman sakin Diba? Please help him make his way to me, safe and sound, alive and kicking! My hugs and kisses are waiting for him!

I’m going crazy na din, so call me baby! :P

You never realize how much you’ll miss someone until you think about how they wouldn’t be there with you physically, ever. It’s so easy to say that death is a part of life but when that happens, you couldn’t find any motivation for reason not to feel unsettled. Today, July 8 (Monday) at 7 am PST, I received an unsettling message from Papa that Nanay is gone. I called Mama and she confirmed. I went ahead with my regular Monday meetings. Acted as if nothing MAJOR happened. But shortly after lunch, tears escaped me. I couldn’t shake off the emotion enveloping me. The thing is, I thought I have prepared well enough to accept the inevitable. In my resolve, Nanay had led a good life. In her hey days, she was an activist, an ironwoman, wise beyond her years. When I was 12, Nanay brought me to Butuan with her. From Butuan, we traveled to Bacolod via ferry. It was my first ferry ride ever. We then ended in Cebu. I have very fond memories of Nanay. My cousins would go green with envy, bu...

“Difficulties strengthen the mind as labor does to the body.” Well, Marcus Aurelius had it figured out, I thought. When you think of it that way, it makes difficulties a powerful ingredient for growth. It creates a compartment somewhere inside you that makes you feel kind of normal. Who does not go through difficult times, right? Difficulties are like a vortex of darkness. You get sucked into that tunnel. You try to rationalize things, but negative feelings pile up one against the other. When that happens, you get swallowed by it. You feel trapped and hopeless. In mine, I always feel like I am trying too hard for nothing. I feel injustice. I feel as though I get to bear the brunt of things. It is both a curse and a blessing to do it solo. Curse because I get to feel like everything is a one-man show. Blessing because it makes me mentally stronger. Like what is there to lose other than a mouth (my mouth) unfed? A few years ago, I had an economic difficulty. It was difficult to m...

HOW TO GET A BAND 6 and UP IN IELTS WITHOUT HAVING TO ENROL IN A REVIEW CENTER? What is IELTS? According to this site : The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) measures the language proficiency of people who want to study or work where English is used as a language of communication.

Academic or General Training. Listening and Speaking are the same for both tests, but for Reading and Writing sections, the subject matter is different depending on which test you take. The total test time is 2 hours and 45 minutes. The details description of the test format is found here . I did a GENERAL TRAINING IELTS exam. I registered for IELTS via IDP online.
