What i hate about some restaurants is how they overcomplicate things just to stand out and to impress. I don't get it, why the hell would add coconut milk to an adobo. Just make it simple and prepare it the way it's supposed to-garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. That's it! No need to add unnecessary ingredients to a simple dish like adobo.

The sea is calling- and i'm gonna be there.

I almost went for a swim this morning. The sea was calm, steady and tempting. The morning breeze felt like an invitation. I found myself contemplating whether to swim or run, but i settled for the latter. Maybe some other time, i'll plunge into it.

My "one day-day one" entry.

I took a morning walk/run to sweat out the alcohol i consumed last night at a bar and grill somewhere in an industrial town down south. I was greeted with a breath of fresh air - cold and refreshing-as if someone handed me an ice cold soda.

The view was spectacular. To my left were mountains clothed with lush green trees beneath the clear, white sky. To my right lay the Tanon Strait-calm and steady, illuminated by the gentle glow of the morning sun.

What a perfect place for a morning run.

I woke up to a scream outside. I peeked and saw a bunch of kids drinking gin ( i know it was gin because of the bottle's shape and the familiar color schemes) . They were laughing and bantering while chugging their poison of choice.

I leapt out of bed, grabbed my phone and checked the time. Holy smokes- it was 5:00AM! They stayed out drinking until 7:30AM. One by one, the kids dispersed as if they have been told to leave.

What bothered me was they left their trash outside- bottles, cups and food scraps scattered across the public sidewalk. What a shame.

I get it-i really do. You want to let off some steam and enjoy while you are young. However, please do so responsibly. Don't leave your trash laying around as if someone else is paid to clean it up. Be a responsible drinker.

Self-discipline is when you do things you don't feel like doing. Someone handed me a bottle of beer–I don't feel like drinking. I remember I must, because I manifest self-discipline.

You robbed me of my future.

I felt stupid for my choice of dropping my ego and asking you a favor to aid me with my growth. I pleaded, not knowing you already had a blueprint. My intentions were pure: I was seeking growth both financially and professionally— hopeful that you would help me. But the universe has its own way of dealing with things because the actions you made boomeranged to you.

Perhaps the adage "everything happens for a reason" is true. I hope you learn your lesson.

One of the items on my bucket list is to wander through Europe. Among the many countries in Europe, Iceland is at the top of the list, mainly because of its superb landscape and magnificent Northern Lights. I binge-watched some videos, and I happened to stumble upon a vlogger named Asa—a native of Iceland—whose content offers the "must-visits" when you plan to drop by Iceland. And let me tell you, everything about Iceland is absolutely incredible and stunning! From the serene landscape of mountain ranges wrapped in snow, to crystal clear hot springs and Instagram-worthy waterfalls, it's like when your teacher asks you to describe paradise; Iceland would be the appropriate answer. I am keeping my fingers crossed, hoping one day I will step foot in Iceland!

Lately, my Facebook feed has been dominated by wedding proposals. The typical scenario: a young man in a public space, courageously kneeling, tightly grasping his ticket to the woman's heart, while uttering the infamous line, "Will you marry me?" What a sight! Most of the time, about 90% of the time, the girl will respond with a resounding yes. The place echoes with sounds of applause and pictures of smiles subsequently. I don't mean to be a pessimist, but what if the woman rejects the proposal and walks away? Who will be the antagonist of this love story? Is it the woman who has all the wits to decide whether or not she's into it? Or is it the brave young man who's ready to commit himself to the love of his life? This led me to realize that if I were to propose, I would like to do it privately. Just the two of us. No one else. Why? So that I won't put a pinch of pressure on the woman I love. So that she will think it through. So that she will mean what she says and not what the situation dictates. That's how I envision it. Inevitably, many will perceive this as anti-romantic, but that's just my perspective..

Being drained is part of the process. It takes discipline to glue your thoughts and your flesh to remind you that the war isn't over; you are just taking a pause and in no time will press the play button to get back at it again. Don't give in to adversities for you are on the right path. Trust the process. Rest, if you may, but don't quit.

Being alone is not always synonymous with sadness and loneliness. Sometimes, solitary moments stimulate independence and inner peace. So, hold your horses, and don't be abrupt with your judgment when you see people in solitude.

Gloomy, cold weather.

The promising chaotic ambiance it assures almost always brings serenity to me. It rewires my sanity. It promises hope.
