Who's to mope when there're plenty of ropes to hang on?




To end 2010 with a blast, I joined my "original" teammates to Quezon Province. I've always wanted adventure. For the lack of "other" excitement in my life, I try to compensate by trying heart stopping, knees shaking activities such as these :D

I've always wanted to try myself on an Obstacle Course. (No timers here though, and someone's going to assist you..dammit!) I thought It'll be competitive one, anyhow, i had fun climbing ropes! Thank God, I was able to prepare for this upper body challenge with my push ups!
I realized how hard it is to be a ninja! I need to improve more.

This one is one of the hardest stations.




Rappeling is my current love now! I wonder how Spiderman gets the better of it using ONLY webs, because thick ropes as this cause rope burns :S This is my fist time to try this 'snake'. The challenge here is you have to turn upside down ON YOUR OWN! good balance and body coordination is much needed here.



Around the fun, food trip here and there. Also tried lambanog! I was dared to dip bread to it and eat!For me, it tasted like fruitcake. yum. haha. Too bad, they too tried out of my remark but said it was yucky :D

It was weird to be told to have big arm muscles, especially when you hear it from a man.
I was climbing walls when the guy who assist there told me that. It was weird. I DONT want to look MACHO :((

So they say i'm a girl with three balls..haha :D i dunno how teasing came to that..blame the alcohol!... One of the boys? Ugh, now I feel the validation of my mom's rant that im not girly but 'siga' (same with other people who told me that!) but then, i still want my own man...... <3 hahaha. maybe i should change. Epiphany bigla? LOL



Time was so fast, take consideration the eternal southern traffic! But I had a blast. Credits to Kuya Joel for taking us there.

UPAK will always be my family. My brothers and sisters. It's great for us share not only our love for martial arts but also in travelling.

Im happy when i'm with them, no more moping :P
Gala ulet :D

Last Year

I remember I was almost run over by a BIG bus on my bday last year. But I was spared. And I remember crying over tons of e-greetings on my wall. I was saddest then, but I felt loved by everyone on that very day. cheesy talaga.

Also, it was my wish to finally fall for men ONLY within my reach. Enough of those impossible older ones (who never fails to sweep me off my feet. professors, mentors, who are dead or alive, name it!) Why do good, ingenious, uber men have to be older than me???

Anyway that wish is still not granted. It's still my wish haha.

Even the Carebears I wished for. HMMP!

But for myself, i'd but a new set of fender guitar string
and a huge kicking bag.
I'll buy 5 plants for my garden too :)
flowering and non flowering ones.

and then i'd cook for my family.

Purging

All these years, i've been hollowed by many things yet, ironically, i also have been purging gravely. Purging what? Well, i dont have the inventory of what made my early 20's sort of a tragedy, nonetheless i've jettisoned some of them and forgot about them like mad magic.

I cant believe im getting older again. Next month i'll be 23! and archaic pains still unresolved 100%!!! Many times i've accepted myself, in defeat, as a melancholic...(the hell w/ Freud or Jung, I learned to commit myself to a stereotype) and as a tedious melancholic, i've cried a river all these years (not a hyperbole). Been drunk awake and asleep. Puffed, coughed and unsurprisingly been sent to doctorS. yes, its plural. If music and Eddie Vedder weren't there to revive me I could have been worse.

All my HS years, life was REAL harmless to me. I was still a little germ who's happiness amount to little. Everything then shines like a wet candy. Now, everything is different. I've thought and felt too much. I thought love was the exact flavor i needed in my geeky college life, but it failed me, EPICALLY! (everyone knows how.lol) I wasn't prepared for that and I SUCK...I know IM JUST A CREEP, too forgetable to remember, too boring to adore, too good to learn to love pain and too masochistic to cling on... (i know, the creep must definitely creep away)

Death also has a way of making me lust for it. I wanted to die.BUT-- My aunt died, my other aunt died and my grandma died, and my other grandma died. i wonder if i missed my turn?

Fortunately...

Progress report: 70% RECOVERED

I owe this to my friends who made me forget about myself. Who's been there holding beers smiling at me, happy for my presence. For making me laugh a hundred fold, tirelessly listening to me, opening doors for me so i can sleep and cry on their beds. Who'd listen to me singing my heart out loud in a sad song or dance with me in a ledge.

I've been trying hard to fight myself whenever im down in the dumps again. Im trying my best to be genuinely happy.. avoiding risk hazards or bombs that're scattered on places i know of.lol

I hope one day i'd wake up be as happy as i was before. Not feeling lonely, sad or martyred.

Now im planning something wicked on my bday.. and i will surely need their help.


I AM MINE - Pearl Jam (my ever anthem.lol)

Kung may K-pop, there's also K-Soup (kimchi soup)




One dinner, I tasted this heavenly spicy (paradoxical?)
I mean Hell-uv-a spicy meal.
I wanted to eat it everyday so,
I guessed how it is cooked.
So one sunday, I cooked for my family.
I mean experimented
(haha)
And there.
OLA!!!
Same taste. Same spice.Same Hell.
HAHA.
End of Story.


Bones.


dahil pareho kaming morbid ng student ko :))

>> dancing or mongoloid? (haha)

Kulang nalang ng "soundtrack" ng "BONES" ng THE KILLERS at kumpleto na ang trip ko.

Well, I did this for my student. Im glad na cut out na nya yung mga parts ng Skeletal system...the thing is, I HAD to put them together using thread...ONLY.

Di ko na matandaan anong magic ang ginawa ko dati nung nagcover naman ako ng book ng walang scissors XD at walang plastic cover (buti may naisip ang paraan hahahaha!)

As for me, I've done so many impossible things these days for my students.
I just laugh about it now, how improvisation and necessity brought about funny (and most of all memorable) things like this.

I loved the challenge :3

Im glad my students appreciate my effort anyhow. I'll surely miss them when they leave :((

me and bevz [nope, she's not my student ;P ]

F is for fabrics.. S is for three things; sewing.stars.sisters

Patience is what I always learn in sewing. It means I should learn to stop doing it and learn to get some sleep. (Because once I start a project, I cant help but finish it right away)

This plain yellow short shirt is my sister's. She asked me to give it a make over. I used 2 kinds of beads for this. Long 'stem' beads (as in the center photo) for the edges and round bits beads to fill the center. Yellow vs black...en pronto! :)




I have so many used fabrics at home. They're irregular in size and I don't know yet what to make out of them. (but i'll post about them asap).

Sometimes I just couldn't sleep at night thinking what can I do with them.
I hate seeing them UNDONE hahaha :D







I love leaves.This one is for the curtain. Bought this at Fabric Warehouse. If you visit my house you'll lotsa these :)

white, yellow, orange and black -->together again :)



Had a saturday night dinner at Amici Tomas Morato with fellow Karate-mates and close friends Hei and Bevz and our dear Sensei Sir. Wally.
I enjoyed my pesto a lot, but enjoyed more sharing the table with these people.

Lately, I've been thinking about going back to training once again.
Its funny because then, when I was still a student, my problem were my finances in funding Karate. Now that its not my problem any longer, the new problem is time.

Oh well. For now, I'll just self-train. But I hope this year I can kick butts again.

Speaking of kicking, I had a great kick from trying gelato. I ordered green tea flavor but had a quite violent sugar rush that led me laughing and giggling the whole time. (I bet all of us had it! )




After Amici, we headed too Moomba.
It is a very homey space. I LOOOVE the interiors a lot and the lighting.
I love the wood elements and the vintage pieces scattered all throughout the walls.
The ambiance is all too perfect. Now I have another idea for my future house haha.

The four of us played "I never" game over Margarita, Zombie and San Miguel beer.
Revelations, confessions, shocks, etc. which are all part of the game drew us from sanity. HAHAHA.

But Sr. Wally didnt forget to share his wisdom, as he always did with us. Of course.Whether about love, nationalism, self-defence etc.

I had an unexpectedly great time :3
Even if I had a really huge baggage of paints with me.

It was really worth it, catching up on inspiring people who seldom come to your life.
Im lucky to have met our sensei.

Til next time the white, yellow, orange and black will converge again :)
