Destination: Cagayan De Oro to Camiguin Island

Good evening Earthlings!

There is less than a few hours before i get to pack for our trip on the south down under. I actually feel a little tired from the run that i did a while ago. It was pretty disappointing since i was not able to finish it,due to the weakness of my quads. Anyway, as i was saying, i would probably pack up a lot of tanks and shorts for the brief vacation. There will be more of Ms. Sunshine at Camiguin, figuratively and really, there will be a lot of women going there. (I sure do hope so)

As for the meantime, i'll be hitting the sack in a bit so i can get some shuteye.

So long, for now.

Traveling Alien

Hello Earthlings.

This is me blogging again from planet earth. I come in peace. Anyway, it's been a while since i last blogged about my stories and adventures/misadventures. I have come to start anew with a Travel blog. Lately, I've been going to places (literally from north to south of the country) and witnessing different culture from different ways of life. Apparently, there is no way to support my travelling (since i am unemployed, for now) so most of the time i rely on free trips that my parents give me if they needed me to travel to where they are.





Ah, yes. Traversing from north to south of the country offers you a lot of insights on how you can probably recollect yourself through travelling. Not much of a traveler, i actually appreciate small trips that i make whether in the city or mid-distanced rural areas. Time to pack up some stuff because it's going to be a long way, down to the tip of the country, which is Sulu.


This is noikeefm from earth, over and out.

Eating and trying to see if there's any? I don't know.

We have no meaning, our definition comes from us. Looking back at what we've been through, it's us who writes ourselves a novel or two. Comedy or drama, you name it.


 People say it's beautiful, but it's a lie. What makes it even more beautiful, is that everything will start off to become a lie as soon as others made a vision of their own construct.



It is harder, but it is easier. That is the irony of things.

Both sides can't be of same symmetry, thus we shape our own.


It starts getting weirder and weirder, each time people say, "It's fine" or "It's normal".

Well in fact, there is a parallax between what it is, and what it should be. Cameras make the best comparison for this. Try to figure, but we all end up having different guesses.

We don't live to please people, we are here to be ourselves. We're here to find out never ending questions. And then, having our version of answers to such questions.

P.S.

People don't quit lolly gagging, they just find ways to make up for it. I find it nice, though.

Way past time, way past now.

Let the clock wind up, as the days continue to go. 

I see an opening where it all was. Something that written, which is lost out of nowhere.

I still believe, we can be written, well at least for the best. A memory that makes us smile of something that 

has become a part of us. I can never forget, and it will live countless times in my head no matter what i do. 

Every thought is significant, though not to everyone who takes a share of it.

Foolish, yes it will sound as it is. But, a grain of sand will remind me of the grandest scheme of things.

I shall not believe, i shall be just the way i wanna be.

It shall wish us well. I look up to everything that grows. Just as how high it can become.

I cannot imagine. 

Let me recall, i was happy then. Yet, i still choose to be happy now.

Everything, it seems like it was a turn of the card. I suppose it was not. 

We follow what we want to be. That's how it goes.

For every inch of thought that is written, jumbled words and random notes.

I will not keep this to myself, but i still do, think of you.

 

Rainy days

For these past few days, the rain has been pouring hard and it somehow left us something to think upon.

The stranded people at taft knows how cold and hard it is to cross the waters at that time.

We took the liberty of staying to a safer place where we could call home for just a few hours.

It felt like shit crossing to a safer ground, but it was worth the experience. By the time we got ourselves comfy, we ate and talked for hours about things that we can laugh ourselves about. :)

The cheese was awesome, the movie was great. Friends, you were the awesome-st people that night. :-bd

Thanks guys, we had a good one. :)

Post: If ever you get to read this.

I try to believe that everything is clear. I want to, but then no one else should try to speak before i say this.

People screw up for certain reasons. But, this. This. It is not the clearest cut of things. There are a lot of things that people don't know, yet they insist that they do. What happens if every time we go to this, and they (these people) do it again. I guess, go figure.

I want this to be okay. Even though it's all over. And if ever you do read this, try to think of as well. 

We try not to be one-sided at these unresolved problems.

I hope this does us well.

It's raining again.

The moment i woke up this morning, it was pretty hot and i have no clue when would this end. I realized that i was sweating myself so much that i've went outside the house a couple of times just to cool myself from the scorching weather. I've come to listen to this song a while ago when the ipod was playing. It was somehow relevant to what the weather has turned into. From real hot to rainy cold weather, straight jacket feeling by the All-American rejects was the one playing inside my head for that time. Somehow, when we refer to the feeling, it's something that is constricting, which you have to let it all out. I can relate to that, and i cringe whenever that happens.

Oh come on, haha.

I guess we shall carry on.

No plans

Hi, it's been a while since i blogged about anything since there are a lot of things to do right now. It's good to know that i have opened up my time for at least this moment. As i were, there's really nothing to begin with. I had a lot of plans, but it seems like only a few worked for me. This has something to do with just showing up and doing whatever i can with the situation. Here i am, still wondering what maybe the reason for all the things that are not easily paying off. Will there be anything in store for me if i become more persistent in what i do? I don't know. I want answers, may it be bits and pieces or as a whole. If i look for it, there would be a big chance that only the tip of it is seen. Haha. I think it would be better if i just move along the way, i'd find what i'm looking for.

I would take every risk, every waking opportunity just to, smile and just have fun.

My life that has no map, now has its own way of telling its direction along the way.

When it rained, it was 4.

Today, it rains and the water pours over the roof of our house. I just come to know that i have been sleeping the longest hours since the week ended. Here comes a point in my life that i just stare out of nowhere and think about anything that has occurred to me. I mean anything. I felt that my heart skipped a beat a lot of times, i don't know if they're positive or negative to begin with. The feeling is there, yet there is no confirming of what is. I speak plainly about anything, which is hard. This has drawn me to think about it a couple of times. Thoughts are recurring, it feels like something that i have forgotten for a long time suddenly comes back in a flash. Vague, yes, they are. Me and my thoughts. It contradicts how the world raised me. A mixed tape playing at its wrong side. But there is one thing that is not blur in me, that is my determination to do whatever it takes no matter what. What gives me the will to be myself is the paradox of living in a sad world, yet i get to go around smiling like nothing is there to make me feel sad.

P.S.

This log, i just wanted to do things at little steps. Everyday, we learn and grow with the notion of not knowing what comes next.

This uncertain.

Going to a direction where you don't know where you're at, but probably certain what you're gonna be having. Feelings of positive and anything that makes your heart beat.

Random blog 1

This is the time that i want to kill someone and rip and smite heads whenever i'm enclosed in a very populated area. I'll grab the throat of people and rip them with my bare hands, breaking necks like they were like twigs. I'd use barbecue sticks to poke the hell out of their eye sockets and trample them with my foot. I'd stick a knife to their gut and stab it back and forth, a hundred times over. I'd slash their hands and feet with butcher knives until i was satisfied enough to take a breath. Pause. Break their bones with my hands, breaking them like bread sticks,painfully swelling until they can't cry no more.

After all of this, i slap a smile on my face and move on...

Popcorn

Right now, I should be going to katips because its gonna be a hell of a traffic in a meanwhile. But heck, i don't want to be the first one greeting the birthday dude. Yun nga lang pahirapan na lang sa parking. Haha. Oh yeah, i was just eating popcorn a while ago that my sister cooked and shared with me. Thanks for that sister. I wonder how long will that traffic be in banaple. "Why you buy so much cakes!" :| that's one of my assumptions that cake lovers cause the biggest part of traffic in Katipunan ext., which is somehow true. I wonder what will be served first. Beer or food? Shots or desserts? Who cares? :) As long as we celebrate this awesome 21st birthday of my friend, that'd be a blast.

P.S.

Baby, I'm sorry if i wasn't able to text you today. It's hard to find sun cards today. :| I miss you. :)

I'm gonna leave in a while and look for different routes that doesn't lead to too much traffic.

Bye.

The new lazy me.

Hello everyone and yes, this is 2011. I have a lot of catching up to do with blogspot and i don't know how to  start it exactly. But yeah, here it goes.

Before january started out as a month, i already cut off some of my old habits like staying up late for facebook and too much eating. The facebook, i terminated mine permanently because there are a lot of things that i didn't like about it. I find these days of the month pretty catchy, like a box of chocolates, because you'll never know what you're gonna get. Yeah, so much for Forest Gump. I look for things right now that gives a clearer definition in what i do, ergo, i study my strengths.

Recently, i read that a lot of people have been studying about weaknesses of people. It sounds more of a psychiatric approach rather than doing it in a more subtler manner. By subtle, what i meant to say was, why don't they use an approach that studies the motivation of people. In that way, they could extract better aspects of the personality and  define it in the most positive note.

I read a couple of books, but i don't finish really them. That's how lazy i am when it comes to staring at the text for long hours. But there was one book that need not to be read entirely because it's like an info material. This book was the strengths finder 2.0. Our prof in the majors class introduced us to the text promising us that we would find a part of ourselves once we get started taking the test and reading some of the contents of the book.

After doing what he told us, i got my top 5 strengths. The thing is, there is a lot of it that i don't really get at all.

And oh, these were my strengths which was extracted after i finished the strengths test.

Top5

Harmony- i surround myself with sound and trustworthy people (It doesn't ring a bell)
Adaptability- i let the future unravel at its own pace
Command- it says that i'm aware of the way things really are
Restorative- I search opportunities to improve myself (That's one of my new year's resolution)
Communicative- "Gaining and maintaining people's attention pleases you" (A little bit)


I somehow only relate to 1 or 2 of my strengths, the rest is yet unseen. The test clearly told us that it wasn't by default that they have ready-made suggestions, just like in most psychology tests. The results here simply defines on how you react on the questions, without thinking too much about it. I guess it's pretty much about intuition. These things, as what my prof/mentor told me, "it doesn't manifest that easily unless you find a way to see these things in you". Umm, yeah. One thing i know about myself is that i'm extremely shy. I'm not used to confront people i don't know or i might know in this daily basis. I find it pretty ironic because here i am, enrolled in the Entrepreneurship program. People like entrepreneurs are one of the most sociable animals in the book and people write stories and books about them. Ugh. I see that it's gonna be tough for me as i become one in the near future. But here is the real deal. What really defines me is my ability to adapt in the most MFcuk-ing situations. I get beaten down, i stand up, and do what i have to do. I think that's what i love doing. Most people are in the process of finding out what they love to do. It's a very rigorous one, but its worth to wake up everyday doing what one loves to do. As an aspiring entrepreneur, I'm doing the way that isn't just written by books, but also on how i react into things and get them done.

The thing about life right now, i love it. It just keeps on getting better and better. And it's pretty weird in my position to say that because as a matter of fact, this trimester is one of the hardest and one of the most unpredictable. It's not that my subjects are unimaginable to deal with, but it's really a box of assorted chocolates. (Forest!)

I say to my girlfriend that i sometimes feel lost ( i don't know why) and feel so much better after i get to hold her hand and do some cheesecake stuff.

I love how things roll, simply unpredictable. :)

Smiles (c) 2010

In these small hours.

   I thought of writing this down a few days ago but, i figure out that there's a lot to happen these holidays. Before anything else, i wonder how my friends are doing right now because i'm starting to miss them especially when we get to do a lot of crazy stuff together. And also, for my girlfriend who i am really missing a lot (that is why i kept on calling you a lot of times. lol.). For those who made this holidays extra special, i bid you all the best and just keep on doing crazy stuff.


And here we go,

    I kept on thinking how things would go these past couple of days, whether or not it would go as planned or maybe something else. Sometimes we get to have this notion that if we just patch ourselves together maybe, we would find ourselves coherent to what we do. This i find myself stupid to believe in. Judging by what i do, i'm pretty messed up in a sense that i don't find a clear cut on what i'd do next. I don't feel obliged by someone who keeps on telling me what should i do next. Maybe, i'm just really stubborn, a part of me which keeps me running for something. And to ask where it leads, i don't know. If i'm going too fast, i would need to slow down a little bit. No, this is wrong. Haha. I should definitely take the pace on how long this road is gonna be. So much for incoherence, i'd like to tell you about what happened this holiday season.

  Before Christmas, i missed my girlfriend and asked her if we could go on a date. I was lucky to know that she had the time so, we were supposed to have it on a lunchtime. Sad to say, there were a lot of errands running and  it was inevitable for me to comply. *sigh* society, haha kidding. So we just scheduled it as a meriendate instead at Trinoma. It was all good since we get to bond even for the little time that has been given to us. I even played drums for here at timezone, which i sucked most of the time (I really lacked practice. tsk tsk.) but yeah, it was our first and special date that we shared together.

  The Christmas carols and all that merry-making nearly caught me off guard as i ate and drank as if there was no tomorrow. Cheers to that. I couldn't have imagine that even though you got almost everything, you still end up somewhat empty in one way or another. Simply put, there's a lot of things that i really need right now that isn't quantified by money or by what society dictates.

 I heard a lot of good songs over the holidays and i think they're worth to listen to. It somehow brings back good old memories that makes me smile a lot even though i don't know why.

Too much for your own good isn't good for you at all.

With less, you will obtain what you really need.

I'm looking forward to smiles and frowns this coming year. Who knows, we might get farther driving ourselves for a much better destination.

PS

All you got is this, and if you ain't gonna hack it, then you should think twice.

Just for a bit.

   Apparently, today is just like any other. Well, maybe not. This is the first and last day of my final exam, which i think somehow  i would make through. Just before my test, it was hectic, sporadic, so to speak. I didn't study a cinch during the day fearing that i might get a mental block. As i departed my house and went for school, there were a lot of roadblocks along the way (both literal and figurative), having myself  blanked out on what to do next. I got to school and went on to take the exam, which still somehow affects me as of this moment. Some of it that i didn't get to review actually appeared on the paper. I was beating the crap out of myself mentally hoping that i might write something useful on the booklet. Honestly, i wasn't the best when it comes to math. Ironically, i do love it a lot. Somewhere over this thick skull of mine, i'm pretty certain that even though i wasn't an A-student, i'm pretty much attuned to my basic arithmetic. Well enough of myself. Even days before everything else was gonna end, i planned out to go to Chinatown some of these days. We actually did. Actually, Kyle and Hazel went to school so we could meet up and go to Binondo after my test. I could've had ourselves ride the LRT, but yeah, we rode the jeep instead. It was pretty noisy and traffic was all over on the way to lunch. Eventually, after departing from Carriedo, we took a long hike to the Ark of Goodwill in Binondo. I wasn't familiar of the place, but i'm pretty sure it isn't that far from the train station. After a few leads from the good people of China town, we finally arrived at La Zhou Lamien just in time for lunch. The food was great, there was entertainment provided by the noodle-cutting chef guy and there was tea to boil it down. Churches and weird places, i think those were the highlights of the trip. After Binondo, we went to Hidalgo to check out old cameras and do a little window shopping (more for me). There was a lot of stuff going there, people selling food and tiangge clothes in almost every directon of that place. To end the day, we went to Quiapo church to cool ourselves because it's much cooler inside. After that, we went inside the SM outlet store because we were longing for a much cooler place. I told Kel and Hazel that i loved Kesha's new song, well i really do. Thanks for posting that one Kel :-bd

   After that trip, i went on the day by meeting up with my buddy in high school at Katips. Damn, it's only been 3 months since we last hung out. Nah, it felt like 6 months since there were a lot of stories and plans to talk about during this evening. We went for a drinking pub near Ateneo, so it is called "Drew's". There were a lot of people that time, mostly college students from the universities/colleges along katips. I guess they're pretty much having fun as much as we do. We're not only swapping stories on how things go for the past couple of months, but, we made sure that this is gonna be the time that we'd make up as buddies.

   The ride way to home was hell because there isn't any jeep or taxi that can get us home for that moment. I guess, if it wasn't for those late maintenance checks by MW, it shouldn't have taken us an hour just to get by a regular 10-min traffic. Our legs were somewhat beat since we had walked a couple of miles from Ateneo up to Anonas.

 The next thing that we're gonna push this Friday hopefully goes well.

First time at the blogger.

Hi. This is the second time that I'd be using blogs to write about stuff. The first thing that comes up to my mind right now is food. Apparently, we had our finals in our law subject a while ago and it wasn't that hard to begin with. I guess it really does pay to read news because a lot of the questions from the test are about taxes, economics, law and basic info on whatever is going right now. Oh yeah, food. I guess that could wait for a while. The traffic a while ago was terrible. It doesn't matter where you go because in all direction it's clogged with all sorts of vehicles. I guess it's because of the late Christmas shopping that a lot of people are busy with. Fuck. There was one thing in my head that kept on asking me, what would happen if things gone bad. I mean, what if things screw up and it would fuck up everything that I've worked for. Imagine, by not asking myself this question, i would've kept myself believing in something that is safe and completely boxed up. Well, that isn't that how things are, the truth isn't sweet as always. We just have to suck it up and take whatever it is right now. Move, because motion creates emotion. Act as if nothing is there to bother you. And i guess, that would pretty much keep us intact for the rest of our fucking lives.
