Time To Be Fit!

Hello everyone! How have you all been doing? As for me, I’m doing great! My sister bought that exercise bike (I don’t know what it’s called :D) above just last week for quite a cheap price.

Reason why I use the ‘bike’:

1. Health – I don’t get out much and I don’t have enough exercise so I’m quite frightened for my health. I’m chubby and I don’t want to get even more fatter ever since the day I was told that my older sister’s godparent had a heart attack because she was too fat but luckily, she was given a second chance in life and now, she has really slimmed down and is physically fit and healthy.

2. Clothes – I’ve gotten fat since the summer has started since all I do is sleep, eat and use the internet. Nothing more, nothing less. As a result, I can’t fit in to some of my clothes. It’s really depressing because I only have like 15-20 pieces of clothes which composed of polo shirts, t-shirts & blouses and now, it seems that 5-8 pieces don’t fit me anymore. I’m not a fashionista or anything but I treasure my clothes. TT.TT

This is a new path and a new way of living for me. I’m really dedicated with this and I sure do hope that I will not falter. Well, wish me luck! :D

Scrambled Eggs!

Good morning everyone! Mom was out earlier so she let me use her kitchen! It’s a very rare chance and I’m no chef or anything, I can’t even make scrambled eggs right. The eggs either sticked onto the pan, overcooked or too salty. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. :’( But! Earlier I was able to make perfect scrambled eggs! This is a very big deal to me since it’s my first scrambled eggs which I got right. :D

When you look at it, cooking seems so easy but you actually do it, it’s really hard. Cooking needs skills and dedication. I’m really dedicated to learning how to cook and I hope my mom would let me use her kitchen more often. :)

A Trip To The Mountain

Good day everyone! How have you all been doing? First, I’m really sorry for not updating this blog for a couple weeks. I’ve been quite busy in school because of all the home works, quizzes and projects that seemed to have no end. Anyway, it’s summer here in the Philippines and that means school’s out. No more deadlines and I have enough time to update this blog. :)

In my last post (where I became a dramatic wreck. lol), I’ve mentioned that me and my family went to mountain resort. The resort’s name is Mambukal Mountain Resort. It’s owned by the province and the rates are okay. Mambukal is a sure stop for all the tourists who are visiting the province. It has a swimming pool, a dipping pool, a spa and there other activities which you and your family/friends can enjoy like go on a boating around their boating lagoon, go zip lining, go bat watching or you can hike the seven falls.

Mambukal is quite far from Bacolod City. Click here for instructions on how to get there. :)

The Boating Lagoon

Mambukal is a really magnificent place. As I’ve said, they have a boating lagoon and I tried boating for the first time in my life together with my sister and our household help (whom we consider as part of our family). Boating is harder than it looks. The water’s pretty heavy and it’s hard to maneuver a boat using only 3 paddles. We found ourselves circling on the same place. Haha. It was really fun but the funniest thing that happened is when we’re boarding the boat since we’re all nervous about the boat sinking or going upside down. We were all a little paranoid but we survived and we all had a great time! ☺

The First Falls

What we did next was to go hiking in search of the seven falls but we only reached the first falls since I was dead tired from boating. I should have listened to my mom when she told me to rest first. TTuTT Well anyway, the first falls is still great. It was my first time seeing a falls and I was dumbfounded. Seeing how the water flows from the top until it reaches the bottom and then continues on flowing to the boating lagoon and beyond. Nature is truly amazing.

“Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.”
― John Lubbock

After the hike, they all decided to take a dip in the dipping pool except for me  (since I’m not allowed to) and my mom (she prefers sitting down and stay dry. lol). I was kind of envious that I can’t go in the dipping pool. My mom said that the taking a dip in the dipping pool relieves you from stress and rheumatism. In other words, it’s good for one’s health and I go in. TT_TT  Nex time, I’ll definitely go in for a dip. Teehee. :3

The Dipping Pool

The day ended and we were all happy because we’ve accomplished so much in just one day. It was a fun-filled day indeed, a great way to start the summer season so if ever you’re around the Negros Province, I highly suggest you take a trip to Mambukal. Well, Catch you all next time. :)

We’ll Carry On

March 23, 2013, Saturday.
Me and my family went to a mountain resort to start the summer vacation. It was a fun filled day and I must say that I’ve experienced lots of “first times” that day but I’ll talk about that in another blog post. Anyway, the day ended and it left a smile on our faces.

March 24, 2013, Sunday.
I was browsing the internet when suddenly I learned of a horrific news. The news drained the color in my face. I was in shock and it left me paralyzed. You might think that I’m exaggerating but no. It really did happen. If you’re in my place, what would you do/feel about your favorite band disbanding? I bet you’d be experiencing the same thing as me. This whole thing just happened with no warning. It was all so sudden. It hit me as hard as Hulk can hit his enemy. I can feel myself slowly disintegrating, slowly fading away. The band disbanded on March 23, 2013 and I only heard of the news the day after. Suddenly, all the laughter and fun from the day before vanished in a blink of an eye. I was devastated. I cried quietly in my room. I listened and sang along to their songs over and over again hoping that everything was just a lie, hoping that they’ll be back after some time.

Will you defeat them?
Your demons and all the non-believers
The plans that they have made?
Because one day, I’ll leave you
A phantom to lead you in the summer
To join the Black Parade

- MCR, Welcome To The Black Parade

I started became a fan of MCR when I was 12 and it all started with the song Welcome To The Black Parade. I must admit that I criticized them at first. I was a child and it was my first time seeing someone with bleached hair. I didn’t like them the first time I saw them but there’s something in the song that pulls me in. Every single time I listen to it, I can feel that they’re trying to tell me a message. A message that says: Don’t be afraid. Be brave. As a child, I have lots of things that I’m afraid of. I’m afraid of growing up and I’m afraid of entering the new chapter of my life which is high school. Through the song Welcome To The Black Parade I found courage to face these fears of mine.

My Chemical Romance taught me lots of things. Most especially through life. They’ve been a great part of my life. Their songs helped me through these 6 years. I would never be who I am today without their music.

Some would say, “MCR is just a band. Get over it.” They don’t understand how much this event affected the lives of everyone in the MCRmy (refers to MCR fans). We’re not asking for your understanding, we’re just asking for respect. Let us grieve for this tragic event. We just need some time to mourn for the end of MCR so please, don’t criticize us. Don’t tell us that we’re being exaggerated about this whole break up thing. If your favorite band is going through the same, you’d feel what we feel.

To those who said that the world is better without MCR. You just don’t know how much lives they’ve saved with their music. Stop treating them like they’re a cult because they’re not. I’m a Catholic and I listen to MCR. I believe in GOD and so do MCR. Don’t judge MCR so easily because you don’t know them. You don’t know their story.

I never forget a feeling- and that is what I have left from all of you.
I feel love.

- Gerard Way

I don’t care what other people may think. I am proud to say that I am a soldier in the MCRmy. I loved MCR yesterday. I love MCR today. I will love MCR tomorrow. I will love MCR forever.

Since I am bad with goodbyes. I refuse to let this be one. But I will leave you with one last thing-

My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die.
It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you.
I always knew that, and I think you did too.

Because it is not a band-
it is an idea.

- Gerard Way

Lost

“Who am I? Where am I? Why am I in this kind of situation?” — These are the questions I’ve been asking myself over and over again for the last two days. It seems that problems just keep on coming my way and they have got me on a stand still. I feel lost and depressed.

People around me thinks I’m strong when actually, I just facade all the pain that I’m feeling with a smile. I laugh and joke around with them. I keep on fooling myself by believing that I’m okay.

Hey guys. Sorry for the depressing and overly dramatic post. I just don’t know where to put all these feelings that are bottled up inside me. I keep on breaking down with these problems that came all at once and I don’t even know what to do anymore. My friends in college have given me advises and they kept on cheering me up but that’s only on one of my so many problems. You see, my best friend, who I’ve known for like my entire life, won’t listen not only to my advises but also to our other friends’ advises. All we want is the best for her and now, it’s as though we’re losing her. I’m scared of what might happen to her if I just let her be. I just feel so lost right now. I don’t know how to make her understand that what she’s doing is wrong and that she keeps on hurting the people who truly cares for her.

Problems are part of being alive. Without problems, life wouldn’t be a great adventure.

I’m young and immature. I still don’t know how to handle problems but I know one thing that I’m perfectly sure of, that God will always be with me through the smooth and rough roads of life. He will always be there to give me strength and the will to carry on with life. He will be there when I’m on the verge of giving up and He’ll save my poor soul before it will be succumb by the darkness. I just need to keep on having faith not only to Him but also to myself.

More Than Words

Reblogged from memyselfandela:

What is love? Did you ever ask yourself this question?
Many people imagine that love is an epic thing. Yes, it's the only feeling larger than life itself. But also it's a simple natural thing hidden in the small gestures shared every day, in the care, in the simple thoughts, in the time selflessly given to the other one without thinking of us, our work or career or needs.

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! This post is kind of late for Valentine’s Day but what the heck, everyday should be a day of love. :D

February 14, 2013. Around 11:20 am. I just finished taking my exam in PE and I’m fixing my things when someone I know whispered to my ear, “Happy Valentine’s Day”. He was holding roses and a cute little teddy bear (who I named Layla) with a heart shaped balloon. (Well, you can see what he gave me in the photo above. :3) I was genuinely surprised by this since he said he didn’t plan anything and so I didn’t expect anything to avoid disappointments. I was really happy since he really took an effort for Valentine’s Day. February 14 was a sweet and happy day. I remember wishing for more “simple and full of love” days and this was one of those days. ❤

How did you spend your Valentine’s Day? Feel free to tell me by commenting below and I guess that’d be all for now everyone. Spread some love and happiness. :)

P.S. Sorry for my lack of posts these days. My brain didn’t have any juice in it and I’m currently making a drawing after a very long time! I hope I’ll be able to finish it soon. :D Oh and I got a new haircut. :3

A Little Advise For Those With Confused Hearts

This is just a little advise to people with confused hearts. This is for those who doesn’t know what is his/her stand in someone else’s heart. I told this advise to a friend of mine as well. It’s a short advise but I just hope this can help anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing.

You can’t dictate your heart on who to love and how much you should love that person. Yes. It’ll hurt but once you’ve cleared out all the confusions in your mind, you’d be able to achieve happiness. Sometimes waiting doesn’t help, though it may seem that it is the right thing at this moment. In the end, you’ll just hurt yourself more by prolonging the time of not making the first move to gain happiness. Your happiness depends on you. Talk to him first if necessary. Tell him everything that you’ve been holding up inside your wounded heart. Once you have talked to him, you’ll be able to free yourself from all the negative feelings that you’ve been keeping. If, in the end, being together doesn’t work for the both of you, you can always mend your broken heart and wait till the right person comes in your life.

Well, I think you can apply this advise in your life even if your problem doesn’t involve love. Like, for example, you have a fight with a friend or with someone important. Don’t let the problem last for a long time. Swallow your pride and talk to him/her. Be honest with your feelings. Understand each other and reconcile.

Maybe it’s not a really great advise and if some of you has something you want to add, feel free to do so. It’d be much appreciated. :)

We all want to live in a peaceful and happy world, right? So let’s help each other out and spread some love and care.
