This was supposed to be a longer post but CTS is acting up Blogger is being stupid.

Lazy post dahil ako parin 'to. I spent ridiculous amount of time mindlessly scrolling again, and YouTube hopping.

And Blogger is giving me a hard time with the fonts.

Anyway, earlier today I decided that I'll step out and run some errands. I don't know how the transportation situation is here in Bulacan. Di ko napansin nung papunta kami dahil busy looking for ATM that is not offline, has cash, and hindi mahaba pila. Error 404! From both NLEX Gasoline stations na nadaanan to the ones along the way, Pla & Pul.

It's my bedtime but I challenged myself to write the entire week so even though I'm tad bit sleepy, here I go.

 I actually miss writing on a nice notebook with my green Pilot pen. I miss my dresser back home. My husband got me a table that was supposed to take that (GMA dresser) role but COVID happened, so the table is now my office.  

I used to always own 3 (or more) green Pilot pens - for home, office, and my purse. And like Chapsticks, I often lose the purse pen. So it gives me a little bit of pride when any of the other 2 reach the end of its life and run out of ink. And like all my other possessions, I usually drop these pens, hence the "or more" part. It's a known fact that Pilot pens get choppy when dropped. I try to replace it at once.

Yes. I got side tracked thinking about my green Pilot pens when I was supposed to be writing something with substance. 

I got nothing. 

So here's more random blabber which is also ink-related. 

I just realized that a lot my friends have tattoos. I used to want one. I kinda still do. But I fear that if I choose an artistic or pretty design, I will eventually get over it, or worse, find the design cheesy/cringey in the future. Afterall our taste changes over time. Tattoo commitment issues exist! 

On the other hand, lasers now exists! However even with that knowledge, I do not have that urge to get one. So maybe I don't really care for it? Idk.

 This is long enough. *scrolls up* 

Yup. Good enough for my future self's entertainment.

So ayun na nga nakapag kape rin

 

Quick coffee to go from Starbucks tapos park lang sa gilid ng road sa entrance pa Vermosa para magpahangin si Toby. 

I can't collect planner stickers and now feelin a bit lost on what to get for 2021.

Perfect din kasi ng paper ng Starbucks planner; Moleskine is manipis for me and mahal. Gusto ko yung design and the (almost always) usual leather binding. Other planners kasi I see are too colorful or too plain for my liking; walang sakto lang. 

So I searched a little bit kanina and got really interested in Limelight.ph's 365 Days planner.  However I cant find where I can order online. I'll probably have to buy from a physical store, which I wanted to avoid sana.

 Anyway, I challenge myself to write this whole week. I'm flaky, but would most likely be bored the whole week so there's that.

Brewing Chika

Warm lighting, industrial interior, the aroma, & delicious coffee. 

Missing coffee dates with friends and family so much, may kasamang kirot. I miss the feeling of warm coffee cup on my hands, with the anticipation of chika from friends. 

Right around this time of the year, binubudol ko na friends for Starbucks sticker. I miss that too, yung feeling na kahit napilitan lang sila, but dahil malakas ka sakanila, napagbibigyan. 

Even my daily McDo trips with Juicy, mabilisang tawid sa Fastbyes after mag login at ang French Vanilla ni Otet. 

Hopefully soon...

 After 7 months of quarantine, I did it - went out for my first "non-essential labas".  To celebrate all occasions of 2020, from my birthday, to Doe's, to Minz', and our 10th year in the company, we had breakfast in Tagaytay. There was more to it really, the main reason we HAD to come and see each other in person, but that's not my story to tell.  It was pouring the night before; iniisip ko na baka di rin matuloy and maybe, that's okay. I was hesitant for obvious reasons, but have to admit there was excitement at the same time. It almost felt like I was going out on a first date. I even exclaimed "excited na ko magsapatos ulet". Almost all of my shoes are already too maalikabok!    

I also had to "air" my pullover and paligo it with perfume dahil galing sa "box of clothes I won't be using anytime soon" - there was a faint but noticeable smell of plastic.   

As soon as we stepped out of the car, I felt the familiar piercing breeze on my face and thought to myself - Oh I've missed this.   

A woman had her photo taken with the lake in the background, and immediately said, almost yelling "syempre 'di ko ipopost!"   

Ganon na talaga 'no? Disclaimer is a must (protocol was followed, we wore mask, did this, did that). Well maybe, to ease the worry na rin of our loved ones. I sent a photo to our family groupchat, and of course noted that we were cautious.   

Something has changed though, while going over the menu, ang naiisip ko lang sa bawat napipili ko "oh boss can cook this", or "we can easily make this at home, mura pa". Ang ending, nadisappoint ako sa napili ko. But I enjoyed having breakfast al fresco. The coffee was good and the restaurant is also pretty.  It's nice makakita ng labas while eating. The Binintiang Malaki seemed closer and I feel like I was the only one who noticed it.  Malungkot lang 'coz a lot of establishments in Tagayay, just like elsewhere nagsara na rin. Tatay mentioned it, and nakakalungkot rin makita talaga.

Doe dropped us off at Festival Mall. And yes, it's been 7 months na rin since I last set foot Alabang. Nablanko pa ko when thinking saan ang mga Japanese restaurants coz yun ang request ni boss na pasalubong. Well, Yabu kasi una kong naisip, walang Yabu sa Festival, and wala na ko balak lipat pa Town Center.    

Less uneventful weekend 'til  we all go back to our normal, hopefully soon. For now e-numan muna and maybe, another social distancing coffee date.

"Don't you think maybe they are the same thing? Love and attention?"

I wish on occasions that I have time to write, I am at better state of mind. 

Maybe not after watching a sad film. 

You know what, Lady Bird isn't a sad film. It's a beautiful film, but it made me feel things. 

I can't seem to meet my own expectations and struggle at changing my ways.

I'm glad my life isn't a movie. It's far from entertaining, there is zero character development, the female lead is starting to get annoying, and she's not even that pretty.

There is exquisite music though, that I can guarantee.

Now playing

I Know It's Over - The Smiths
