Life Update

I used to be a happy kid. I used to laugh at the lamest jokes. But what happened to that kid? Where did she go?

I am not at my best as of this writing. I haven't been okay in the past decade. It tried to act okay and feel okay. But the feelings that I've been running from for the last 12 years happen to resurface now. I feel overwhelmed with everything that's been going on around me. It's true what they say, "Misery loves company." 

A lot has been going on around me lately. I feel worried about a lot of things. Family issues, identity crises and being jobless. A lot of chaos in my head. I know that life isn't always rainbows and butterflies. I know I can't be happy all the time. But I don't want to be sad anymore. This past 3 years, that's what composed the majority of my feelings. I feel so empty.

I don't want to be sad anymore. I want to feel okay again. Not happy, just okay. Not perfect, just okay. Not over the moon, just okay. Not ecstatic, just okay. I know that once I feel deeply happy, there's a chance that I'll be deeply sad. And I don't want that. I just want a calm and peaceful heart. I want to go back to my old self, who can laugh even at the lamest jokes. Why does it feel like, as we get older, we become sadder?

I know these are just feelings. They'll go away eventually. I just wish that I wasn't an overthinker. I just think that my life will be better if I don't overthink a lot of things. I wish I knew how to stop overthinking. I hope one day I can go back to my old, jolly self. I want to feel okay again. 



au revoir.

Here In Batangas

So for today's blog, I have here a list of some Batangan words that you've probably heard someone say but had not even the slightest clue what that word meant. These are just some of the most common words widely spoken here in Batangas. And as far as I can, I'll try to explain them to you so that the next time you hear them, you won't wonder what they just said exactly.  Aba nga naman-  This is an expression that means absolute amazement. You couldn't believe someone did such an amazing job. Or you couldn't believe that something beautiful came out of nothing. We don't say, "Good job." Instead, here in Batangas we say, "Aba nga naman."  Aba'y awan-  Here in Batangas, we don't say, "Hindi ko alam. / Malay ko." Instead, we say, 'Aba'y awan. Hindi ko alaman." ala-  This word implies disapproval. When someone says something and we don't agree, we don't say, "Hindi. Mali ka diyan. / Ayoko niyan....

My Worst Job Interview Experience

I probably shared with you in the past how I struggled to find a job. I've been to a lot of job interviews. And when I say a lot, I mean a looooooooot. I couldn't count how many job interviews I attended. Whether virtually or on site. There's this one interview that goes on top of the worst interviews I attended. It was somewhere in Pasig. It was an agency. I saw the job posting online, so I sent my resume. They texted me and told me that I had an interview. So I went there. ‎  I am not used to wearing shoes with heels. So every time I attended an interview back then, I always left the house wearing flat shoes. I just bring with me other shoes with heels. Then I'll change before the interview when I'm already near the area. But when I had this interview, one of the soles detached from the flat that I was wearing. I was feeling it before I rode the bus, then it fell off when I was already inside the bus. So I had to wear the shoes with high heels that I brought. The ...

Cast:  Kim Yoo-jung Byeon Woo-seok Roh Yoon-seo Park Jung-woo Release dates: October 6, 2022  Director: Bang Woo-ri 20th Century Girl is a Korean film about love and friendship. This is the second Korean movie that I watched and I'm glad that it didn't disappoint me. The main characters of the film are high-schoolers. But no matter what age bracket you are in, I guarantee that you're gonna love this movie.  Na Bo-ra (Kim Yoo-jung) and Kim Yeon-du (Roh Yoon-seo) are best friends. But due to a heart condition, Yeon-du needs to fly to New York to have a surgery. Before she left Korea, she met a guy who she instantly liked. She asked her best friend to keep tabs on him. Na Bo-ra haven't met the guy, yet. Yeon-du only gave her his name, or at least what she presumed his name was, that she saw on his jacket that he's wearing when she saw him. They go to the same school, so Na Bo-ra easily found him. Again, with only his name patched on his jacket. She update her best frie...
