Before I take a break, I feel that now is the right time to speak out and release these feelings—to find closure (no future hopes or promises, just closure for myself). That’s why I’m writing this entry here on my blog. Sometimes, no closure is closure in itself. Since he never allowed me even a day or a moment of his time, all I want now is to begin healing before I finally close this chapter of my life.

So here! Find out by checking out my personal Korean dramas and movies watched list and enjoy watching with English Subtitle.

This confession story is a continuation of my latest entry, Thrill of Freedom. Again, in the late summer of that year, I was so innocent and happy—without a care in the world—as long as I could enjoy that taste of freedom. It’s nice to bring back those good memories from the past. Now, I can’t help but laugh when I remember myself back then.

Do you love swinging on the swings? I admit, this is my favorite playground equipment when I was young. I'm sure nothing beats the feeling when you're with your friends in the playground and push each other going back and forth. Higher and higher. And, when you drop back down it feels like you're flying to the moon and back. Agree?

I was feeling exhilarated by the thrill of freedom on those late summer nights, just testing my independence. For some reason, 2011 is one of the most important years of my life.

I was spending my vacation at my aunt's house for almost two months. One time, my younger sister, our nanny, and I were planning to share our secrets when we found out that my aunt's family was on vacation in Surigao for five days. So, only the three of us were left at home.

The plan went like this: my younger sister secretly brought her boyfriend home. She's too young, and our parents wouldn’t allow her to be in a relationship. So, hiding their relationship was a challenging task, especially with all the gossipers in our neighborhood. Of course, nothing serious happened—they were just at the "we’re talking" stage of dating, hanging out in our front yard, while the nanny and I had our own world under the roof.

Now, it was my turn. It was my first time sneaking out at night without getting caught, and I really enjoyed myself. I lied to get a taste of freedom, with the help of my younger sister and nanny. My aunt always monitored us closely and made sure to call every day and night to check if we were home.

I was in the middle of the road when my sister texted me that my aunt was looking for me and wanted to talk to me on the phone.

And I was like...

So, I thought of something reasonable. I texted my younger sister back, telling her not to wake me up because I wasn’t feeling well—dysmenorrhea, you know, the usual period pain every woman dreads. I was hoping this excuse would divert my aunt and she wouldn’t bother me anymore. If not... well, I was as good as dead.

Honestly, I didn’t give a damn about the consequences if I got caught. But just to get that taste of freedom I’d wanted for so long, I was going all in—“no guts, no glory.” Oha! Trying to be brave even though I’m prone to heart attacks! Haha, my goodness!

SUCCESS!

But God was good to me—thank God! You have no idea what a relief it was to read the message from my sister that my plan had been successful. Still, I kept reminding myself to be home early in the morning before my aunt could catch me.

At the same time, I was like, “YES! HAPPY sha la la la! It’s so nice to be happy sha la la la!”

And yes, I spent the whole night with our friends in Moalboal.

I know, I know! I should remain this private. But, I am I and you are you. I think it is important to be interesting more than I to keep my life private. Anyway, let me start with a short story. 

I was in a relationship for 2 years and a half and I seem to be getting a lot worse by the day after seeing a picture of a girl who is kissing him on Facebook. He wants to explain, but I don't deserve his explanation. Some mistake is an accident, but cheating and lying are not mistakes. Indeed, they are intentional choices. So, it's better to save his explanation because what I see is what I get. Then, I tell myself this - I have to be strong and move on with my life because I know I deserve someone better.

You and Me

I'm not gonna let you go,

I'm not even thinking of replacing you.

It's going to be you and me,

against our flaws.

Full of joy, full of tears.

Full of love, full of fears.

I will not leave you behind

I will get you out alive.

If living is without you

then what is there to live.

I know that a goodbye,

never come from your mouth nor mine.

It's me and my fear of losing you

that makes me more worried.

Even though I'm scared,

I want a life with you.

We have each other

and we're learning this together.

We need each other

and I can't make it through this life alone.

What to do when you see a high cliff? TRY jumping off a cliff!

It was the summer of 2015, our fourth stop where our tour guide brought us here at Buho Rock. A Php20 is collected as an entrance fee. We were simply enjoying the view on top and had our pictures together.

Must Do This!

No hand-feeding or touching the whale sharks
No flash photography
Maintain at least a 2-meter distance from the whale sharks

DON’T WORRY! There’s a solution to all your questions and concerns. If it’s your first time swimming with the whale sharks, there’s an orientation before you get in the water to guide you through everything.

If you want pictures but don’t have your own GoPro or underwater camera, AGAIN, DON’T WORRY! There’s a camera you can rent for Php 500 to 700. I recommend bringing a USB drive to transfer all your photos or an extra SD card. If you don’t have one, no problem—there’s an empty disc available at the souvenir shop.

Have a great trip! :)

Is your dog your best friend?

Owning a dog and have him/her as my best friend is included in my bucket list. Luckily, my dog is truly my best friend. Nobody in this world, will love you more, will understand with your mood swings, and who is loyal to you and never ever leaves you alone better than your dog.

Here's the reason why I consider her as my best friend:

Clingy as Always

She's always there for me every time from room to room. Like, every step I take, she's always there at my side and never ever leaves me alone.

Best Greeter Ever

She knows when will I come home from work or somewhere else every single day.  My father knows too when I'm almost at home because she will go to the door and sit from her hiding place. She's really happy to see me every day when I come home, even if it's been 5 minutes since I saw her last. As soon as I'm inside the house, she becomes overly excited. She's always jumping up on my legs for attention then run around the living room and stop then follow me behind when I walk up to my room.

Born to make me happy

No! No! No!, I'm not talking about Britney Spears. But seriously, she's very happy and excited to see me home as much as I do from work or where ever I came from.

She loves taking naps with me

When I lay down on the couch she knows it's nap time. She cuddles right up next to me and later on sleep beside me. 

She's happy to go out with me

When I put my shoes on early morning, she's ready to go along with me. Believe me or not, I just let her off the leash specially in a safe areas.

She keeps me closer than distance

She is closer than a shadow, very consistent and loyal to me.

She's always there to comfort me

I can never feel lonely with my dog around. Yeah, she's always there to comfort me in sickness and in health. 

Always protects me

In danger. 

Familiar with my Daily Routine

And I don't have to tell her anything. 

Unbeatable

Being with her all day and night is truly unbeatable :)

Many to mention but this is what I've got the best reason to consider her as my best friend. Care to share yours? Feel free to share and post it below. Of course, you may include your pictures together with your dog. :) 

The answer for those who want to drive:

Yes, driving skills is not required as long as you reach the two pedals, the brake and the accelerator. For beginners or not, you are required to watch a video orientation for your safety. 

A weekend of everything that flies!

I’ve dreamed about hot air ballooning for years because it has always been at the top of my bucket list. And I know, this is on most people's bucket list too. When I was thinking about this, I asked myself - "How romantic would it be to ride in hot air balloon with your favorite Valentine soon?".
