February 18-19
Baler, Aurora
People's Party 2012

Surf 1

We tried reserving seats at Joy Bus a week before the trip but failed to get one! An indicator that there are a lot of people going up Baler since February 19 is Aurora Day. James got us a van instead! :) Feb 17, Friday night we all met up at Starbucks Katipunan. Johanne and I were set that we'll leave our board at Perry's because the driver won't allow us to top load the boards. But Bay's brilliant idea worked! Our boards were placed inside. Sobrang nakakatawa lang itsura namin sa loob! Hindi nagkakakitaan eh! By 11:30 pm we were off to Baler. Weee! How exciting!
siksik lang kasya yan


When the sun was finally up, readied ourselves for the morning sesh. I brought Wendy with me. It's about time I seriously practice using my short board. It's really frustrating paddling and then the feeling that you'll almost get the wave, but boom paddling wasn't that strong, and the  big wave leaves you behind. Thank you Jess, I had one solid ride. After that long ride, I grabbed Denden and paddled out again! Hahaha. Nice long rides with Denden made me happier!

While waiting for check-in time we stayed at the lobby of Bahia de Baler to have our power nap!

The Highlight

It's Aurora Day and what a good way to celebrate it is a People's Party with bands and some booze! We couldn't miss Blue Island's set so we were at Baler Sentro past 8pm. Feel good music was all we needed! Their lead vocalist Aian wasn't there but the girl singer was the perfect replacement. Ang galing niya sobra! Then came the rain! That didn't stop us from parteying! The concert continued with General Luna onstage. The finale, Ebe Dancel!!! Woohoo! Sobrang saya lang nagpasaya lalo yung ulan! Walang keme keme sayaw, kanta, sigaw. Sarap. Sobrang thank you rin Soki! Dahil sayo nagkaron kami ng close encounter with Ebe. Dabest yung makasama siyang uminum ng beer! Words are really not enough to express my feelings! Basta masaya.

It's my second year to celebrate Aurora Day, and it's getting better! Hahaha can't wait what's in store for next year. This trip wouldn't be as happy without the best surf buddies!:) See you all again next month. Surf's up!

Sarps ap!

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

Short Lived 2 of 2

I learned and discovered things about myself and about relationships that I wouldn't have known without having gone into that short lived relationship. Lower the tone of my voice. He's the first person who told me that I talk as if I'm angry or picking a fight. And then I got it validated by a colleague who told me to hear myself when I speak weeks later. I'm very cautious now. I believe I have the sweetest voice already! Be vocal of how I feel . There's nothing wrong with showing your vulnerable side to your partner. Trust that your partner wont judge you or belittle you .  Be open and honest with everything. No secrets. Your partner has the right to now after all he's the one who should be able to listen to you and help you. Getting into relationship means hard work . It's not always fun times. Be ready to battle with different situations. Not everything is about YOU. Don't be self centered. I learned I have insecurities I need to fix. I nee

3 1K LOSS

 Today I lost 1K USD. It's the initial amount I invested on XTB. I'm now left with 223 USD, which is the total profit I gained since the day I started trading for real (Sept __, 2023).  Here's what happened. I mistakenly opened a wrong position. I checked long frames and they seem to be down trend. I put a trend line on h1 frame and it's also going down with 3 candles going up. I figured those were negligible and will eventually go down. I went on to check m1 frame and as soon as it went down trend, I clicked red for sell. And less than few minutes, trend went up. Increasing my loss too. I couldn't look anymore so I logged out.  My strategy was to let it open overnight, thinking it will eventually go down to the set TP. Hours later, XTB automatically closed my position at -1023 loss. I couldn't believe it. 3 weeks worth of trading with consistent gains, now all gone in just few hours and one single mistake.  Ok I understand now that it will take forever to get b
