good morning gene!

After two weeks I finally got the chance to train again. At 4am I left the house with Chevy. It was still dark and a bit cold. Who would have thought that at 4.30am an MMDA will come rushing after me?! In an intersection along Taft, I hit the accelerator when the yellow light flashed. In my mind I told myself yeah di ako inabutan ng red! wala naman sigurong mmda ng ganitong oras.. But no!! After a few seconds an MMDA on a motorcycle was haling for me to stop. Wah!!! Why are you an early bird? And he caught the worm. ME!!! Damn it. I was nervous. He asked for my license and said that I bit the red light. NO! (sinagot ko siya sa isip ko.. yellow kaya yun! haha) anyway he was readying his pad of ticket (at nagparinig ng kung san tutubusin lisensya). I panicked (what kukunin niya lisensya ko?). I bargained.

ME: Kuya wag muna kunin lisensyo malayo pa pinanggalingan ko, Cainta pa. Eh may training lang po jan sa harbor square ng dragonboat. Magkano po ba?
MMDA: wreckless driving 500.
ME: 500?!
MMDA: 1000 nga talaga yan eh
ME: eh kuya pano yun 200 lang pera ko pede na yun? (seryosong 200 talaga pera ko) kung gusto niyo sumama kayo sakin magwithdraw!

kala ko palulusutin na ko..but no! pinatos ang natitirang pera ko. tibay ni kuya. mahal ng pang kape mo ser!

So yeah I gave him my 200. Then he kindly showed me the way to harbor square, diretso lang po papunta dun. (sa loob loob ko.. oo k0ya alam ko ung daan! bwisit)

While driving to Harbor Square I was shouting wah! Tsk wala na kong pambayad pangligo after training! Oh well GOOD MORNING GENE!!!!

Letting Go

Reading Thought Catalog can bring you a myriad mix of emotions, heartbreaking, sad, contented, relieved, happy, fortunate and a whole lot more. This particular article highlighted important points as if slapping me in the face to wake up! When someone decides you’re not the one for them, don’t argue with them. When someone decides you’re not the one for them, do not, I repeat, do not question yourself.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, love yourself enough to let them go.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, take your time to find yourself again, a self that isn’t confined within anyone’s definition of “the one,” a self that’s true, a self that’s happy.   Remember your life before them. Remember all the moments you felt so happy, so confident, so strong and it had nothing to do with them or being chosen by them at all. Everything mentioned in the article pierced my heart, and allowed me to come back into my senses...

October 31, 2017 12monkeys, El Pueblo It was a night of good music, food, drinks, and of course good company! Forever idol Ebe. Naalala mo pa ba sa Baler nakajamming ka namin sa Bays Inn? Ung pinipilit ka ng isang lokal na magtopless ka kasi nasa dagat daw! ! Anyways solid na tugtugan talaga ito. Sa uulitin sa dagat naman na ulit. Ok so tumugtog din si Gabby ng Urbandub at sobrang ok rin niya talaga. At gusto kong sabihing let us support local artists! Dahil ang daming talentong meron ang mga Pilipino.
