Cozy Autumn

Sobrang daming geese kanina! Naririnig ko sila so binuksan ko yung bintana. Feeling Mary Oliver ako kasi napapansin ko, pag madaming geese sa sky at papunta sila sa isang direction, uulan. I’m sure maco-confirm ko β€˜to sa Google pero ayoko. Natutuwa lang akong i-observe yung activity nila.

And true enough, after a couple of minutes, umulan nga. Ang sarap ng moment na β€˜to. Kanina pa kong 6AM gising, 8AM na ngayon at tulog pa rin ang mga tao, gloomy at umuulan, pagsilip ko sa bintana, ang gandang tingnan nung orange-yellow-brown leaves ng mga puno, pinatugtog ko yung β€˜No Lyrics Chill’ playlist ko sa Spotify, at ito, nagsusulat. Hays ang saraaaap.

Merong bumabagabag sa isip ko at yun ay:

β€œTinatamad akong tapusin yung Day 14 ng ginagawa kong travel series..”

Kung kelan patapos na! Yun na yung last day ng trip tapos bigla pa kong tinamad! Wait. Parang nagkaka-motivation na ko ulit. Sisimulan ko na bago pa mawala.

Mid-Year Check 2023

It’s already September (ambilis) and I am revisiting my 2023 Game Plan today. June pa lang naiisip ko na ‘tong gawin pero may work ako so wala talaga ko masyadong time magmuni-muni. Basta yung past few months I am always preoccupied with something at nag-procrastinate ako to do my mid-year review. I feel like ngayon, ito na yung tamang moment.

Let’s start with the theme

Ang theme ko this year ay:

Planning is a Luxury

I was doing my very late mid-year review a while ago (yet to be published) at after kong matuwa sa mga na-accomplish kong goals, na-stress ako after. Dun kasi sa 13 goals na sinet ko in the beginning of the year, dalwa lang yung fail, tapos isa na lang yung natitirang work in progress. So parang sa isip ko, isa na lang? Meron pang 4 months na natitira this year. Ano pang dapat kong gawin?

Fake Twitter #34

Pinapanood ko yung vlog ni Heart at Chiz tapos may nabanggit dun na, β€œBreaking up with a true friend would certainly hurt.” Nag-standout sakin yung words na β€œtrue friend”.

Recently I had a falling out with a friend of 20+ years and ngayon, I really feel and know that I’m better off. Initially I was hurt pero ang bilis kong naka-move on. At yung rason siguro ay dahil I recently discovered na hindi na pala sya nagfi-fit dun sa description of a β€œtrue friend”. Kaya siguro ang dali nyang bitawan.

Banff, AB β€’ August 4

Kahapon pa lang excited na ko because today is Lake Louise day. Before this whole trip, nanood ako ng isang vlog about Banff at super ni-hype nya yung Lake Louise. Most favorite lake nya raw yun. Nung tinanong ko si Kenneth kung pupunta kami dun, oo raw, so na-excite ako.

Drumheller, AB β€’ July 31

Jurassic Park

Hindi nakakapagod pero sobrang init ng araw na β€˜to. But worth it! Ang ganda ng mga nakita namin. Day 3 is Drumheller day. Ang sabi sa research ko about this place ay:

This region is known as the Canadian Badlands. It is home to the largest deposits of dinosaur bones in the world

But first, breakfast.
