Ninang!

So one of my best girls whatsapped and told me, I am one of the ninangs. I’m glad!

She’s having a baby and I am truly happy for her. Not everyone is given the chance to conceive. Sadly. It’s just amazing that someone close to you, been part of you since time immemorial is finally extending herself to her little one. Wow.

Gone are the days when we’d think about our crushes and girly giggles every time a cute boy passes by. Time has come na we get to assume responsibilities and not just those easily ignored ones, like those that your parents tell you to do but it just enters one ear and exits to the other.

So it occurred to me, I am having so much fun. I am in the time of my life where I can do whatever I please. At 26, I feel as though I am just beginning to live my life. Parang ngayon ko pa na try yung mga things that most of my age are done with. Late bloomer? Definitely!

I would assume that I get to be the last to wed or to give birth although, God knows how much I wanted to have a baby na. When it comes to relationships, I get to be too safe. I don’t want to invest. I get bored. I get disinterested after a couple of conversations. I have so many reasons. I don’t get high in meeting new guys. Why? No one interests me. For now. Hopefully, not for long.

Maaaring di ko pa nga nahanap yung someone for me. Maaaring di pa ngayon. Siguro ‘cause I have so many activities and yes, selfish pa. The world revolves around yourself that you think about your own benefit, own comfort, own convenience. Lahat, selfie pa.

But the beauty about having the time of your life is the satisfaction that you have actually lived. There are so many experiences, so many new things, whole new adventures and you get to try them all. Under your terms, your discretion, your rules. Nice!


Then the friend told me, so ready na ninang ha? Of course! I am so much ready. I’ve ninanged so many already. I’m used to the drill. And maybe someday, after everything, I would be the one to invite naman others to ninang my princess. There’s no way I’d get to be... always the ninang never the mother. In time…

Friendship is spelled with END

Image
As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
