7days sojourn to singlehood :)

"pag nabasa ang singlehood, breakup agad? di riiin!" (O_o)

forgive me, i just wanted to sound "in" and feast myself on the idea that, yes, even if i dont have tv, and i dont know who Aryana and Mikay are, at least, i still know what Vice Ganda's latest antic is.. hahaha.. what does that have to do w/ my blog? NOTHING ! :))) 

move along, people.. move along !

so, 7 days sojourn to singlehood, huh? yes, i visited singlehood for 7days, less the breakup of course.. 

still unclear? well, i was alone for 7 looooong days.. boyf went home to CDO, sister's still in Manila and my parents, my ever-trusted and my go-to (whenever i've got nothing to do) left me alone and failed me, visited GenSan for a reunion that i, of course, didn't attend coz of work.. sucker, i know..

what i did for that 7days ? non. nan. none. i sincerely thought that this 7days will be me and me only.. i never fail to take advantage of my weekly me-time, i go out on my own and do stuff alone.. the thing is, i'm w/boyf almost 24/7 weekdays and i'm always surrounded w/ family and other people on weekends.. kinda got sick w/ their faces! hahahaha

and so the 7 days came and i did nothing. why? IT.WAS.ONE.HELL.OF.A.SUPER.DUPER.MEGA.OVER.BORING.WEEK !!!!! :'( yep, sad emoticon and exclamation points are needed and they still aren't doing justice in explaining what i felt for the whole 7 days! 

what made matters worse was that, since i work as a "call-girl" (LoL), my time off is waaaaaaay different w/ my friends time off! BUMMER! 

and so, i had to do things on my own. i even had to eat ALONE! i've done that before, yes, but that was too long ago i forgot the feeling. and? the feeling is 70/30.. 70% dint like  it coz people kept staring at me.. i probably looked weird, sitting on a big table, and munching food on my own.. t'was 30 % nice -- nice experience, yes, i just don't wanna do that often, though.. haha

ate this alone at Da Vinci's Paseo Arcenas -- 

 dint eat out after coz this experience was just a pain, 
so i switched to deliveries and to-go's! hahaha

i've got nothing to do.. and the stuff that i wanted to do was never done.. 

• Х blog : Baguio getaway
• Х  get a mani-pedi
• Х  clean & organize my room
•  purchase stuff for the Boracay family trip -- the only thing i was sooo willing to do! :)) 
• book accomodation for bora --- my sister had to do the arrangements ..
• Х  make itinerary for the bora trip
• Х  email e-census for the birth cert we ordered but we still didn't get

here's what i was able to purchase for 

the bora trip w/ my family - COLORS!! 

its their first time there so i'm the one soo excited for them ! 

will post a blog about it soonest! ♥

what i realized from this is not that i'm too attached to people, but that we realize the importance of things/people once they're gone.. ( they're not really gone, but hey, i got a taste of it, and the taste still lurks in my mouth! ) 

i always thought i can live alone forever and be happy w/ it.. but hell no! i got to taste of how it feels like to be w/ people who are not only fun to be w/, but they also make u feel that they're enjoying your company too.. i dread the day when i don't feel cared for by these people anymore.. i'd happily spend my everyday w/ them even if i get sick w/ their faces, rather than not seeing their faces at all.. 

yes, we burn each other, and we get on each other's nerves. but hey, they can burn me and get on my nerves whenever they want to.. :)

and oh, they brought these pasalubongs for me anyways, so all's good! 

mama and papa brought 

durian candy and mango tart from GenSan 

boyf brought my forever fave yema tower!! 

and the infamous Pastel from CDO (from Camiguin, actually) of course! :))

As we conquer the waves of Siargao ♥

as we conquer the waves of siargao :)

The Cast :  Banjan & Maryil, Roy & Zee and Neil & Craui :)

water has always been a fascination to  me.. as a kid, i stay too long in the bath.. i absolutely love the feeling of hot, cold or luke warm water on my skin.. on a stressful day, a very long bath de-stresses me.. it doesnt only cleanse me, it rejuvinates me :) 


that might be the reason why i love the beach too much! i have always been a self -confessed beach bum.. im not a fan of doing something where there's a lot of walking, and running included..  i just like laying around the sand, watching people do frisbee, beach volley, and watching people watch other people.. but of course, swimming is and will always be my fave hobby.. but im thinking of switching to -- SURFING ? i wish ! hahahah


OOOHH Siargao ! everything i love rolled into one place ! Water + white sand + affordable seafood + nice people , and now + WAVES ! :)


where we stayed : Cherinicole Beach Resort, GL, Siargao Island 
located at the center of General Luna, where the famous Cloud 9 waves are found.. accessible to the market where you can find lots and lots of seafoods.. 

their generator is a plus too ! and the swimming pool !! 

 and of course! the never-ending ambak2x sah pool.. with matching kasaba pah sah lain guest.. she said, "Nagbayad din kami ng kumpleto dito, ah!" then we responded, "Huh?" kiver ! hahahaha

ISLAND HOPPING ♥

we visited 3 islets for only P1,700 ! super affordable.. such a great day for an island hopping.. the sun was on us -- and the waves too ! i mean, WAVES ! big bang waves banging on our bangka .. me and the waves, we have issues ! and then im thinking of going surfing? goodluck to me ! 

1st islet :  Naked island -- literally naked, as in just a bar of with sand with no trees.. no sign of coverage at all ! too censored ! aw .. hhahah

 the islet is just soooo pretty !! luvet ! 

 yes, t'was very hot ! but we din't care.. we just had to take a pic and show off the beauty of the islet! sooo picture perfect moment !

but of course! need i say more ? 

2nd islet : Daku island -- lunch time!! ate buko.. fresh from the coconut tree ! hahaha.. then, ate lots of seafoods! 5 octopus, 2clams, 1 big fish all for P150 ONLY !  i almost died ! :))

we we're soo hungry from all the picture taking and the swimming that we just had to eat ! 

 these buko's only cost P20 each ! freeeeeeeesh ! 

and then, LUNCH ! we had a super sumptuous lunch.. they don't have electricity there so t

hey have to cook everything on wood.. so that means, we had to drink luke warm 7Up.. but nope, its not so bad at all :)

3rd islet : Guyam island -- last stop ! an inhabited island with the best view of the Cloud 9,  superb rock formation, waves are bigger and scarier here, and the beach of course ! 

pang.facebook cover pic lang noh? hahahah

feeling model and peg sah rock formation.. a photoshoot just had to happen.. pang.MODEL ! hahahah

then, a pre-nup photoshoot of course ! ♥

and hey, for the record, that's not me and banjan.. that's zee and roy! hahahah

and then i'd like you to meet, Cloud 9 -- wait! before cloud 9, we took some pics of course while walking mileeeees just to get there.. 

this is a public beach, babies ! can pass for a beach resort, right? 

we couldn't let the grounded coconut trees pass.. oh yes, we're camwhores ! hahaha

this is the Boardwalk.. that's a long walk of wooden bridge, up until you reach that viewing deck where u can watch the surfers make their move..

then we met these surfers on our way to the viewing deck ! 6 packs on the house, baby ! hahahah.. and oh, yes, that's a girl.. coca-cola body.. with a very nice tan.. love her tan !! 

and the feeling surfers !! hahahah.. me, craui and roy tried the surfing.. its sooo nice !! sadly though, the i-suck-at-balancing ME took over.. :( but hey, never say never !! and practice makes perfect.. so! i'll surely go back -- with a surfboard on my side ! woohoo !

and, the CLOUD 9 ♥

scary ? yuff! but it's more exciting ! hehehe

The Dreamer --- One day, i will conquer those waves ♥  

but of course, my parting jumpshot !!

enjoy Siargao!!

me: a NURSE :)

im a nurse by profession,i graduated march of 2008 at USC-TC .. i finished school without any medals, or anything to boast.. but what i know is that, i made (even a litte ) difference to some of my patients. i know, some of my patients, not all, have made an impact on how i look and take life now..

for a couple of days, i've been getting weird flashbacks of my nursing days.. weird, coz i've been visited by thoughts of the patients who have somehow made an impact. those patients who, i might forget the names, but i'm never gonna forget their stories and faces..

at first, i thought that these flashbacks surfaced simply because i've been talking to my friends who pursued nursing as their career.. i've been hearing a lot about their jobs, how low their salaries are, but how they somehow still stick with it.. i've always thought that my friends who work for free, calling themselves volunteer nurses, with the "hope" of getting absorbed in the hospital, were somehow crazy.. who would want to work for free and without the assurance of getting THE JOB even if they wait for 2years? 

but then again, as they whine about the con's of being a nurse, i quitely sit in the corner, remembering the pro's of being one..

• the weird, tingly, ants-in-my-pants feeling when u see the genuine thankful smile and the welcoming face of ur 1week patient as u enter their room after their successful surgery..
• hearing "how are u?" as real as the cap on ur head.. 
• getting the most genuine "thank you" as ur patient gets discharged from the hospital.. all well, and as strong as a cow..

yes, some situations may be a little stressful..

• getting all beaten-up by the force of ur patients S.O.'s (significant others) to help their father/mother, brother/sister, bf/gf, grandma/grandpa, get a second chance at life.. holding u as if u're a lifeline, sometimes thinking u're the doctor..
• "talking" to patients who don't wanna take their meds coz they just wanna give up.. the talks could go for as long as a minute to an hour, with me saying "gusto ka mamatay? unya imong asawa, anak?" as an ending.. great thing filipinos practice close family ties, or else, i would've used a diff approach..
• soon-to-be-moms shouts coz of a gruesome 24hr labor.. followed by a tiny cry of a newborn as i shout "baby out! 8:32am." 

• and of course, there are those kids with eyes as large as a full moon, carefully eyeing the injection as  i prepare for an i.v. line.. but, u never hear them cry as the doctor ties a rubber on their arm, looking for an obvious vein, with me humming, "strong jud kaau ni's baby ryan oh.."    

no, i didn't wanna be a nurse.. but somehow, i learned to like the profession.. no, not like, i might actually have loved it.. if i don't have to work as a volunteer, and the pay would've been a lot bigger, then, i might actually be a nurse.. sadly though, i have bills to pay, i have a future to prepare and places to travel that being a nurse just won't suffice.. 

right now, as i write this blog, i'm missing my white uniform, my cap, the rush of code blue, the doctors shout of "i have bleeders everywhere, i need clamps!".. yes, being a nurse is stressful, but for me, its the most satisfying job ever.. correction people, its not a job, its a vocation.. :)

from the bottom of a broken heart :)

first of all, im not heart broken -- my heart is very whole, and is in a very good condition (buyag!) -- i just decided to write about heartaches and break up's simply because im surrounded by couples breaking up, girlfriends crying, boyfriends drinking 'till their stomachs turn -- there's too much "sad drama" surrounding me right now that i just don't want to lose the "happy drama" i'm experiencing now --

i've been hurt before of course -- i've cried, i've cursed and i've wished people unwell, but i never got to the point of breaking down and go as low as self-pity -- i walk as if im one of the prettiest girls in the world but, what i know is that i'm smart and wise :p -- confidence, i know, that has always been my weapon :p

LOVERS come and go, and it's actually up to them if they wanna stay or not -- we cant do anything about it, but be the best that we can possibly be -- 

here's what i do after a breakup :

1) DIVERSION 

-- i party, i surround myself with friends, i clean the house, i write, i learn something new -- this takes ur mind off the pain -- i dont believe in the saying "time heals all wounds" -- you learn how live without it -- 

2) RIBBON CUTTING

-- delete them as a friend in FB, unfollow in twitter or even block them from viewing all your profiles -- it may sound bitter the first time, but after a long time, you'll just realize that you just dint want them in ur life anymore --

3) STOP CRYING ! 

-- cry like a baby ONCE, and only ONCE ! pour it out, doesnt matter if it sounds like a tsunami is coming, but pour your pains out -- ONLY ONCE -- coz there will come a point in your life that you will look back on that certain day and realize how stupid u are for crying that much -- crying never helps, it only worsens how u feel about urself, plus you'd look awful -- 

4) DON'T SEEK FOR REVENGE, JUST STAY PRETTY 

-- im a libra, so im too lazy for any confrontations, so i just sit , get my make up on and look damn GOOD :) looking beautiful and radiant is, and always will be the greatest revenge -- period.

and if all things fail just smile :)as they say in the vernacular: "MADA RANA'G SMILE ! "

Trails to Antarctica :)

just like everyone who lives in a tropical country and who hasn't experienced snow or a weather below 20 degrees celsius, snow is, and will always be, a fascination to us,.


i may, or may not, experience real snow, but hey, its not all-about being real.. its all about getting the feel of it, and believing you're actually THERE.. 


oh well, the kid-in-me, wiggled and yes, it mingled ! 


FROSTY THE SNOWMAN -- my first ever SNOWMAN :D

>> that's my very first pic when i entered the room.. when i saw Mr.Snowman, i immediately took a pose beside him.. i might actually have a thing for snowman's since my fave Christmas song is about a snowman too -- Frosty the Snowman! 


Penguin Experience 

>>> nope ! they're not real, but i got to meet real penguins just 10mins before this pic.. im not quite sure how i' should describe my feelings towardS them.. i don't think they're cute, but i don't think they're disgusting either.. "fishy" might actually be the word im looking for .. hahahah


My Orange Christmas House 

>>> this is where, we, in  Antarctica  live.. and this is how our house in Antarctica should look like --- surrounded by ORANGE BRICKS.. yes, it has to be orange.. other colors are banned ! hahahahahh


LAMP POSTS in Antarctica 

>>> even lamp posts pinagdiskitahan ! hahahahaha #ignoymuch "? hahahhah


BENCH in Antarctica 

>>> oh yes, its just normal for people in Antarctica to sit in a bench covered with ice, wearing orange and blue coats but with our legs exposed.. its actually an FASHION thingy there..  and no, we're not cold.. nah-uh.. we're SUPER COLD!  hahahhahaha


My Christmas Hero !! 

>>> Santa Claus !! he told me if i'd be a good girl this Christmas, i'd get a rose pink MAGS bag from Banjan (found in SM), a black CMG stilletoes from ate (also found in SM), a bag full of lays, ruffles and cheetos from Mama (found in any grocery store ) , and from Papa ? hugs and kisses nalang daw.. hahahahah




PICTURE VOMIT !! 

>>> oh well, i think being crazy just runs in the blood.. blame it on DNA .. hahahah.. chenkz Manila Ocean PArk for bringing snow, Frosty the Snowman, santa -- the whole Antarctica to the Phils.. people should, most often, bring out the kid in them.. no, its not about being stupid, just about being silly and crazy.. :D




P.S.
-- i have a secret, but promise not to tell ...
I.BELIEVE.IN.SANTA.CLAUS ♥♥♥

BIEBER FEVER ? Hell NO ! Don't get wrong Bieber fans, i have nothing against Justin.. You can all love and praise him for the rest of your lives, and i'ma just smile, alright ? I'm talking about ~~

BE RESORTS- MACTAN 

http://www.beresorts.com/main.html

first of all, this isn't an ad for Be Resorts.. i'm just a customer who celebrated a 1st year anniversary with my boyfriend in BE who loved the place and the service .. 

what i love about BE :o (forgive me, but this blog will be a rain, thunder and storm of pictures .. i just cant help it.. this blog is a concrete example of how i changed as a human being :p )


1)as a kid, im into black, grays and whites.. but now, COLORS ! i thought of "happy thoughts" when i entered the hotel.. the ambience is soooo relax, the combination of colors is so drastic but is a perfect fit of what i was looking for.. polka dots circling me everywhere pah ! spell C-H-I-L-L ! colors for me before were irritating, disturbing and too cute-sy.. but now, its refreshing and happy :o

3) weird stuffs :) this is one the things that hasn't changed in me.. i still like stuffs that are wired in a different and personal way.. i like everything custom-made :)

 my interpretation : a tree full of sperms

my boyf's : a tree full of skeletons

now who's crazy ? hahahah

okay fine, it;s not weird, but this shade will go on my resort once i'm as rich as paris hilton with  multi-million hotels and resorts all over the world :))

3 ) chairs. i don't know what's with me and chairs (and drinking glasses).. i want my chairs not only comfortable but classy and out of this world.. 

 this chair shines yellow lights once it gets dark.. 

 the itlog nah maalat chair.. i WANNA have this chair !!!

its soo comfy i'm gonna die !!! :))

 king james' chair.. its for the royalty.. < bow ! >

the coconut leaves chair.. and yes, it's able to support me.. 

it's pretty sturdy hahhaha

3) the water ! chlorinated and salted -- i like ! :0

 the place screams : SERENITY 

that's the beach in the morning..

the artificial white sand dint make the place less than NICE :)

 view from our room -- who wouldn't wanna stay here and wake up to this view everyday ?

haaaay !  :)))

 can't resist adding my first ever boho look !  fail ! hahahaha

asked manong lifeguard to take the pic for us.. and oh, the pool ? to my boyf's delight, that's only 4ft..

still, i din't mind.. i had fun teaching him to float.. and seeing him drink a liter of water.. hahahaha

those are the few little things that makes me happy.. as long as travel is there, maryil will never despair ! :o

no parting jumpshot this time coz the stupid me forgot all about it.. so here's my fave pic instead :)

my not-so-boho-look hahahha
