Tarak Ridge - 4/20

My first ever major climb...and I frakkin survived!! All I have to say is never underestimate a mountain.

The only hike I have ever done in my life is Mt. Pinatubo, it was a 2 hour hike going to the crater and another 2 hours going back. It was definitely hard, since you had to traverse in sand like terrain which made walking really hard (it's hard to walk in the dessert, imagine your feet sinking into the sand with every step you take).

But just like every hike, reaching the summit was as rewarding as getting your very first medal in school. I had cuts and bruises all over because I was wearing the wrong hiking clothes and I had cramps on the way. I'm no mountaineer but I'd really like to climb another one soon.

Here are some of the photos from the trip. Ofcourse, each hike is super special if you do it with your friends :)

(sorry couldn't upload high res photos since they took forever to upload ;) )

Here's to more summit assaults!!

MALASIMBO 2013

Some photos from an insane weekend. I'm not pretty sure if I will visit the festival next year again since it created quite a big hole in my wallet. :)  But nevertheless it was fun. I had the chance to hang out with the best people on earth! There were a bunch of us who went, Germans and Filipinos. Sadly we didn't get drunk HAHA. But the music that saturday night was good enough for me.

Out with the Old, In with the New

I haven't been writing in this little old blog of mine. I have yet to read some of the posts that I have made, but I clearly remember that I had some fun ones and some posts that only talked about how insanely depressed I am.

Until now, I am still depressed and sometimes lonely. I feel that some of my friends have seen the world and I have yet to even take a glimpse of how pretty it is. 2012 was such a roller coaster ride, with surprisingly so many new friends and beautiful places that I got to visit.

6 months ago, I wasn't your typical drunk party goer (although I haven't reached a point where I can actually call myself a drunkard) these days I'm at the club at at average of twice a month, drinking and going home extremely late on weekdays and going to farflung places and cashing out all the money I have in my ATM.

Not so idealistic but, definitely more fun, fabulous, and adventurous compared to my old self 6-7 months ago.Aside from the overflowing alcohol and deafening music, the best part of 2013 was I had the chance to meet some of the best people on the planet. I have learned that friends are not measured by the years you have known each other, but by the quality of time spent with each other.

With true friends, you get that ZING! every time and you may call them wherever, whenever and all you guys do together is simply have a great time. It's just surprising that in a short amount of time, it feels like you have known them forever. I love how they can just holler at me through a phone call or a through text or through the numerous PM message boxes on facebook, and I'm there running to where the fun is. I may not have mastered the secrets to being a social butterfly and how to successfully flirt with boys, but eventually I will get there, for now I am so happy with the little group that I was able to form through the few months that I got to learn to live a little.

What is the essence of life? - Being a Wallflower

What is your worth? and why are you living this kind of life?

Are you truly becoming what you want? or are you allowing other people to mold you into what they want you to become. Being 23 and all, I have realized that the world is cruel and harsh; it has people all around you telling you what to do and noticing all your flaws, but simply forgetting the beauty inside of you. They never really think before they speak, instead they speak with their heart's content not knowing if what they say can actually kill the person inside.

Sometimes I ask myself I'm just oversensitive or if I really should feel sad whenever people say I'm fat, or don't recognize the place I work in (my relatives have an issue with whether or not I work in a big company or not), or think I'm doing the wrong decisions.

I often go to sleep over thinking stuff and seeing all the good that other people have, and realizing that I really don't have anything good to brag about. Why? Well I guess I'm not rich, not sexy. not thin, not pretty, not too smart, not rich, not cool, plus I'm extremely shy and unsociable.

This past few months I have joined a hospitality club with hopes that I can actually regain my social skills and learn how to actively communicate with other people. But I guess that because I have very low self esteem and almost zero self confidence I having a hard time achieving it. There was even one time when I spoke to a guy and he told that he was sorry because he would probably not remember me. He was buzzed, but then again I think it was still half meant. It kinda crushed the insides of me because again, I proved to myself that I am a WALLFLOWER and I expect no one to remember me. People do ask for my name and I introduce myself to people but I also expect them to forget me after the night is over.

It kinda hurts that I already know that people will forget me since I think I'm not interesting at all, and I don't have anything to brag about. I seriously want to know how to be sociable and how to start a conversation right, if there was one accurate formula then I would do it straight away.

Some people just have that spunk, or they could be so physically attractive, or amazingly smart that could make people talk to them, but I guess I have none of that which makes me a wallflower a really good wallflower indeed. I usually cling onto my loud friends and end being the one who laughs at all their jokes.

I am perfectly fine with being alone, but sometimes I'm kind of getting sick of it.

Depressing Sundays - (For the First Time MV)

The Celtics lost...Pacquiao lost..and I don't have a boyfriend

this day seems so depressing..and to makes things worse I present a song that just slams it to me in the face

An Experiment

I just came up with an experiment today but I won't spill any details yet. I'm trying to stop laughing because the 'Project' sounds really absurd.


I will divulge on details on the next few days.


I'm not really expecting anything to happen. Just a few bad things such as:


-I might get cursed
-I might get blocked from a really popular social media site
-I might be embarrassed and humiliated by these people.

LOL

Ciao

Pretty and Rich (the Call me Maybe cover, Pinoy style)

This video is so HILARIOUS...but apparently after watching it the 'bitter' me suddenly sprung to life.

I seriously wish I was tall, rich, pretty, and had a hot boyfriend.

Oh well, maybe there is something in me that is worth envying too :)

Enjoy
