Time Machine: Always a Cycle, Right?

Found something I wrote about 6 years ago. Can’t believe I was able to write something like this, let alone still the feel the same way as I do up to now. Wow. The power of the time machine. Sometimes we can’t ever understand which state we’re in or what we’re feeling. Sometimes we never notice the weirdest things. Like when we’re spending so much time with this person and realizing we’re actually falling for them. Or for the fact that we think they’re falling for us too, but they might not be. So many things are deceiving. A single look can be deceiving. A single touch can be deceiving. Either way, we can never tell. We might be able to tell what is most subtle, through action, words or that occasional “glance” which makes your world stop for a nanosecond. But being able to decipher them is another different thing. I never really reflect on my past relationships because I’ve never really learned anything from them. The bigger picture, to say is that I …

Bohol 2012

A couple of weeks ago during the “Thanksgiving” long weekend I decided to go to Bohol with a few friends from work. We needed the R&R and I needed the travel so we stayed for 3 full days and 2 nights. I haven’t really explored any city in the Philippines outside of Cebu (save for Davao and Manila airports and its nearby spots) so I was extra excited for this trip. Coming from someone who has traveled to a few countries outside of my own, I feel as if I have yet to see what the Philippines has to offer. I really want to go on more nationwide adventures! I’m not going to go on detail with words, so here are some photos from my recent trip.

10 Month Itch

I made up this theory called the 10 month work itch. It’s pretty straightforward, once I reach 10 months in a job, I start getting all restless and doubtful about everything.. starting from my ability, my purpose, what-if thoughts on if anything could be better, or if I would find better somethings in another place. This leads to me become demotivated, discouraged and eventually, once I’ve hit to the pit of it, wanting to quit. In all fairness, I’ve only ever been in two jobs before this one and those jobs, I did not like very much. The same can’t be said for the one I currently have right now because I actually look forward to going to work every day and doing the things I’m supposed to do. I don’t want to make that past tense. Anyway, about the 10 month itch. I lasted 10 months during my first job because I totally lost motivation (plus I didn’t really like my boss) and felt that it wasn’t something I was cut out for. Second …

Friendly Faces

The other day as I was getting my coffee from the Starbucks I frequent, I somehow felt a warmer reception than usual. The baristas were smiling more genuine smiles. As I got to the order counter, a friendly-looking barista (this is the first time I see her for some reason) took my order. She was really nice and she asked where I got my iPhone case because she loved it. I asked her is it because it’s the same one Serena Van Der Woodsen uses in Gossip Girl Season 5 (I did not know this when I bought it)? Hahaha. She agreed then proceeded to ask me if I was currently watching Pretty Little Liars because the same one is also used by one of the characters of the show. I told her I’m a little bit left behind since I stopped halfway during the second season. I felt like this girl could be my best friend or something. Not really in a bff best friend kind of way because I already have those but …
