Rainy Surf

March 31-April 1
Baler, Aurora

Surf 3

We weren't able to ride the JoyBus on our last trip to Baler (Hari ng Sablay) sot this time, James reserved 20 seats two weeks before our scheduled surf. Yess 20! All 16 of us showed up at the bus station 1230am of Saturday. It wasn't raining when we left Manila so I was hopeful that weather condition in Baler will turn out good as well.

But no! It was raining, brrrr... and it was freezing cold. We headed straight to our new-found cheap lodging at Radas, dropped our things and had our breakfast at Bay's Inn.

We figured the weather won't cooperate the whole weekend so we fought the cold weather and still paddled out. Sayang naman binyahe ko kung di ako lulusong. Big waves on Saturday. Got some solid rides with Denden.

Jamming on a cold Saturday night. It was Ate Olive's birthday celebration as well! All of us went to her house to celebrate her special day. Lots of food and my special request of native chicken. Sarap!

Sunday was still a gloomy day. Summer where are you? We still surfed of course, not even the rain can stop us.

Met new friends on this trip! Sons and Daughter of a Beach is getting bigger. Let's all share the stoke and the same love for surfing. It's what keeps me sane. Come to think of it, I work on weekdays and surf on weekends. Surf-work balance. Can't wait for my next surf trip, which will be ummm in 4 days!:)

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
