the thoughts of 3AM

now more than ever, I am fearing for my life....

here I thought that after COVID made its mark, I will be fine and will certainly go back to normal, everything will bounce back to where it was..... but it didn't. 

….. it all started with Joey, then Noliza, then Diamond, then Alvin, then Fanty and quite recently Percy...

nothing stayed the same, nothing fade away, nothing you can do about it.

sometimes in the middle of the night, you will just jolt, sit cross-legged and stare into nothingness, overthinking what will be next? what will be after the next?

….. and now at 3AM, asking myself a different question- when will be mine? when am I due?

Everything tastes (better) with an airfryer - PUN INTENDED!

I am 40! That's a fact... undeniably visible with my gut!

Not wanting a 6-feet-under meme any moment now has been likely one of the goals lately. I need to stay alive and active that's including food shoved into my orifice these days!

I have seen how fat dripped with my own two eyes! And YES YES and definitely YES, taste is altered. It doesn't taste the same as it was but an additional lifespan of 2 or 3 years is not bad either.

If you are like me who have enjoys food more than breakfast-lunch-dinner setting, savors food more than sweet, salty and spicy and always gets transported to every circa to every bite... then it would be a huge zeal as again, taste is altered!

What is Pork Adobo without the fat trimmings seared to golden perfection and braised for 1hour and melts in your mouth at every piquancy. 

The horror!

The dryness of it all!

Yet again, it depends what you really value most. So you might  want to think again! Is the price of a kitchen upgrade really fitting your lifestyle? Then its a sign to get yourself a treat!

At the end of the day, what matters most is the value that it caters most. Beyond price..... beyond need.

Think again!

I had a good read last week. http://elitedaily.com/life/motivation/the-20-things-you-need-to-accomplish-in--your-20s/

A “good” checklist of what you can do as you age and mature. Treat it as a guideline. Mack me if nothin’ happens but I assure you will.

Success may be classified, measured and evaluated. But for each individual, it may vary from time to time and if quality strikes, that may be one of the learning curves you can goal and achieve later in life.

 

 

1. Support yourself. (read: Mandatory for queer.)

·         Why? Establishing yourself other than being the cloned-parlorista-type is a must. Aside from that being an achievement it also marks the spot how well you were raised, what breeding you have and gauges how you’ve grown and matured.

2. Get your own place.

·         Lease-to-Own or Rent-to-Own would be more advisable rather than renting your butt month per month. Lucky for you if you have been given a hand-me-down 2-storey-haven that you can call your own so you don’t have to worry a bit or bytes even.

3. Date the wrong person(s).

·         A must. I have come to believe that a relationship is a 2-phase. The booty-call facet and the next is the i-am-seriously-committing-already phase.

·          

4. Begin to put money in the bank and learn to leave it there.

5. Get out of debt.

6. Clearly outline your life goals.

7. Learn to read regularly.

8. Learn to keep up to date with current events.

9. Get that body you always dreamed of.

10. Find work that you love doing.

11. Surround yourself with people that you would like to keep around.

12. Reestablish your connection with your family.

13. Outline your perfect partner.

14. Learn to adapt.

15. Start to accumulate a fortune.

16. Learn to dress well.

17. Learn to maintain your body.

18. Learn to maintain and keep your environment organized.

19. Accept that you are an adult.

20. Let go of the past and look forward to the future.

Ako nalang ba ang natira?

 Literally!

I mean undeviating- everyone is a vlogger these days! 

I am not quite certain if I am the only one in the "B" now instead of the "V". I started putting my thoughts into words way back 2004 because of Dulce, it was with a different site then. Began doing blogspot.com in 2008 and stopped for an I-don't-know reason why. 

A pandemic broke out and I didn't even drop a single rumination about it! Pisti! Just when everything was in the moment- I deserted like that! I became a blogger-has-been. Everybody was busy staying alive, myself included. May kuwentong COVID ka din ba?

Fast forward 2022 and for another I-don't-know reason why. I am back as a fresh tilapia can be.

So what to expect? A lot of this and a lot of attitude and sass, my lass! A call to action for you my dear, stay tuned and subscribe!

I really miss dancin'

Pandemic really tilted the balance of the globe. "One virus to crush them all" said a padawan. As everything and everyone is going back to normal... there are memories you remember and makes you ponder... Can I still do it?
