finally came up with the hidden things about me that i can share :)


>>>hate cockroach<<<

i hate cockroaches! and i think most people do, but what is different with my case is i only hate them when they fly..i terribly screams if i see even a single cockroach flying on the area where im at and it scares the hell out of me when it lands on me even without skin contact and just on my clothing.

>>>ripe mango on the go<<<

ripe mango has always been my favorite fruit.. i love anything that was made out of it like mango juice, mango tiramisu, dried mango, mango flavored ice cream, mango pastillas and i even make it as an (ulam) in a rice meal as in ripe mango alone can be a great substitute for a true ulam for me.

>>>crying my heart out<<<

crying is my outlet about almost anything, i cry when im happy, i cry when im sad, i cry even when im just like listening to a sad song. i easily get affected with the lyrics, i cry with the characters on telenovelas and movies, i cry when im mad with a person (but i do that when im alone as much as possible), i do it so i wont keep the hate and anger towards the person so it will be much easier for me to forgive.. in short iyakin ako, d lang halata..

>>>mama ate to the rescue<<<

i am an ate and a mama to my 11 year old brother, my dad stays in bicol and my mom in laguna so i look over and take care of him and it is not that easy to raise a (super kulit) kid, i also cried at a certain point already because of (kasasaway) but then i love what i do because i love him so much (",)

>>> sleepless days and nights<<<

i dont know for sure but i think i have insomnia, before when i was still on the night shift i seldom get enough sleep. lucky me if i get 4 to 6 hrs sleep in a day, i even took sleeping pills just to overcome my sleepless days but still it affected my performance at work. i got a lot of CCFs that time because of lates and absentses, being absent became an unintentional habit for me because i usually feel not ok due to lack of sufficient sleep and so what the management did is they transfered me to the morning shift just to save me from getting terminated, my shift got changed (thank god) but sometimes the sleepless nights (now)(unable to sleep even though you're doing and thinking nothing) still remain.

>>>stranger than fiction<<<

i have this strange phobia with firecrackers (fear of loud noise) since childhood upto now, especially those which explode totally loud it is like i cannot breath, i cannot think clearly, and my heart palpitates like crazy when im under attacked.. i fear from it that it made me hate december 31 which is sad because my family are all out for the celebration and there i am always locking myself in a room (most inner part of our house) where the sound will not be that too disturbing to my ears..i dont know, it's really weird and it's really affecting me, i just hope that i can conquer this fear, it may sound silly for some but it is true.

>>>eat veggies more / drink no more<<<

"drink moderately" as what coach ron said, we normally hear it in radios and watch it on TVs well for me it is "drink no more", alcoholic drinks are NO NOs. though i used to drink before. 2 years ago i was diagnosed with peptic ulcer. i did undergo tests like gastroscopy and colonoscopy (without sedative or anesthesia) imagine that, you can try to check how the procedure is being done and i tell you, if your doctor tells you that u can no longer drink such things (u still can actually, if you're really a pasaway) then u would really follow it because of the tests that they did. they found some polyps in my large intestine (non-cancerous) which i again thank god for and so i was also advised to eat more veggies for more fiber intake which i never did before (i hate veggies as in i hate it..), but now i evetually got to like it (masarap pala) not because i need to eat it but more on im also enjoying eating it and i think i can live as being vegetarian too. so i guess people who will get to read this tag wont ask me anymore why i dont drink. :)

>>>old school<<<

i think ive shared this with few of my team mates already that we use CHARCOAL IRON at home to iron our clothes, obviously by the name itself, it uses charcoals in producing heat. we've been using it for couple of years now and got used to it as well. :) we decided to use it because of one main reason. ELECTRIC BILL.

must try

i would like to try fruit teas next time :-)

some of their best sellers: Nai Cha, Taro, Black Forest and Choco milk teas

there were times before during our team building when we eat at chowking, i always get to see coach shei ordering some sort of a beige like colored cold drink, i never bothered asking her what it is, what does it taste like or even asked what is it called until last month, i think it was, when i got to try this Tea Zone milk tea..i and my boyfriend were strolling in the mall when i suddenly crave for a pearl drink so we went to look for ZAGU but then my boyfriend tried to stop me as it might trigger my tonsillitis so we just looked for something else, and so we found this Tea Zone tea drinks. they have a lot of flavors for milk teas and fruit teas..2 of my favorites are taro and nai cha (like chowkings i think). it can be served hot or cold. they dont use blenders so it is not made out of crashed ice (which is a yes yes for me) :-) , they just put some slightly crashed ice enough to make the drink refreshing, what they do is they just mix the powdered milk tea i think it is and whatever flavor you will be choosing in a shaker and shake it just like what a bartender does then pour it into a glass with black pearls (sago) on it and that's it, and i dont know but i really like it, i like the presentation of how they prepare it and of course the taste it really tastes good. the thing is that they only have 2 branches as i remember the crew told me, one is here in victory mall caloocan and the other one is somewhere in makati, so no wonder if they are not that known yet and one more thing the price is very affordable (sulit) as they usually say it.

I-Witness (my travel to albay)

tuesday september 23, my boyfriend dropped me to the bus terminal in cubao. we arrived around 12:30 nn since it is my first time to travel hindi ko alam ang time ng alis ng mga bus, i just depend on my father's instructions that i need to be there on or before lunch as the buses leave after lunch and so i did arrive little over 12 nn only to find out na 4 pm pa pala ang alis ng bus so in short we waited for almost 4 hours. My father also advised me na tumabi daw ako sa girl to play safe (by the way i took an ordinary bus para more exciting and the fare for an airconditioned bus is a bit expensive and parang running freezer pa sa sobrang lamig), 30 min before boarding..a guy sat beside me, parang gusto ko mag-transfer but then my things are all setup and nakakahiya naman na aalis bigla dahil lang sa tumabi sya so i just let it be, what funny is that my boyfriend was the one who acted like very worried ( which i understand), pinapalipat nya ko ng upuan but the bus was about to leave so wala na rin syang nagawa i still stayed on my sit. but frankly i was a bit scared knowing that i was on my own and i dont even know how to speak bicol dialect but i can understand some words and phrases so i just prayed and asked for His guidance,.. so yun umalis na yung bus. it made 2 stop overs, one in quezon and one in camarines sur ang bad trip lang, napanis yung baon ko na kanin eh gutom na gutom pa naman ako so i just bought rice nkakainis sayang yung food ko but i had no choice. i thank God because i got to sleep long hours during the trip which is a big deal when you are riding an ordinary bus. i arrived in our town in bacacay albay at around 3 am then about 10 min ride on a what they called sikad-sikad (sidecar) going to our house. finally i got to get some rest.
