What's it like to have friends like them?

-

Being surrounded by friends nowadays, keeps me going.

The pandemic has really affected my relationships with people whom I have been so close with for years, making us go back to zero. Some relationships have been awkward but some are pretty nice. Being a university student when I'm nearing my 30's can have it's pros and cons. I don't have much tolerance with childish acts and irresponsible attitudes, however, most of my classmates were all very responsible and conscious with the world we are currently living in.

They make me want to have fun and be young (despite being young still). I haven't had fun since the pandemic and it took a toll on me. Also, I was able to reconnect with people whom I haven't talked to during the pandemic and decided to have fun during the vacation. Of course, it was fun but very tiring.

I am currently preparing for a dance competition which will be held next month. There are three groups under my management, 2 of them are quite dependent on me, however, teamwork makes the dream work. I am very proud to what my friends have become. Some used to be slow learners, but now they are very quick to learn the dance moves, so I am happy to see them improve in less than five hours. I do hope they will continue to prove and show the crowd a great show!

For my other, I do hope to see a lot of improvements from them since we have the same share of difficulties with the other. But, why am I talking about the dance practice? I just wanted to share that I finally feel better after reconciling with a friend today, though we didn't discuss much about what happened in the past, I could feel that we are okay (hopefully). 

I hope things will be better with everyone in my team. Pray for us on our dance battle next month!

A Night at Bacolod's Baywalk

  I finally got the chance to visit Baywalk after many years. The last time I came here was in summer 2016 and back then it looked like it was a deserted place where nothing but parked cars and old tires piled up in the middle of the empty space. The lights weren't bright either, though, the security was available. This year, 2023, I decided to have a spontaneous night drive with my father and younger siblings. Our main problem was we didn't have money to pay for the entrance fee which costs PHP 20.00, but I was glad I received gift money from my aunt last Christmas and had been keeping it for this day. I actually expected a lot after they reopened it because I heard many of my friends who went to visit Baywalk, they said it was great.  But I was a bit disappointed. Nothing is new except for the illuminated displays in the place. For someone who has been a common visitor back in 2016, the place somehow felt much safer compared to how it was years ago.  The place was actua...

A New Blog for My Stories!

-
I first started reading fan fictions when I was in high school and I was captivated by the limitless scenarios one could imagine for a character. A lot of people may have a different impression (mostly negative ones) regarding fan fictions, but it does promote creativity to the writer. Sometimes, it is so difficult to find a certain muse or a model to base your characters with, especially with names, that I always end up using my favorite celebrities names to keep the story going.  Some fan fictions may include a lot of sexual stuff, but there are so many writers who aren't fond of it. Instead, they write fan fictions to express themselves, to inspire others and even to investigate a crime scene through the story. I personally tell that I am into teenage angst and romance kind of stories which tells the untold. Anyway, I'd just like to share my new blog here. I am currently working on a story feel free to check 'Writer's Notice' there. New Blog Here:  https://fanfi...

Bacolod City on January 1st

A few years ago, I used to visit my relatives on New Year's Day but things have changed since then.  I am not sure if it is just me or it is a part of growing up where you focus more on yourself more than other things.  I focused on spending time with my dad and my younger siblings. We decided to have a night drive with a tricycle around the downtown area.  We first dropped by Bacolod City Plaza where it was filled with illumination. It seemed that I should have gone when it was newly decorated because the lights would have been complete. When I came there, almost half of the illumination were broken.  It still pretty, I must say. I enjoyed strolling.
