A HABAL HABAL FAILED LOVE STORY

-

Here's a hard fact:
My parents never want me on a motorcycle.
Another hard fact:
There's me driving a motorbike in Siargao. 🙊
So here's my fair share of Siargao story--not really.
While I was driving my mom home from the office, after having been gone from an official business in Siargao, I had to admit to my parents that I drove a motorbike.. okay, fine..A scooter! 
(coz I'm really a bad liar and I end up admitting no matter what) 
Hoping that I get their validation for what I did despite knowing they dread the idea of me even just getting a motorcycle back ride I said:

Me: Ma, I drove a motorcycle in Siargao.
Mama: *with a grin* kahibaw na baya ka. (you already know..)
(shocks, I just placed my butt in trouble)  haha

Me: Daghan mangud kayko ug lakaw, resort to resort to push papers. Mas maka save if I drove a motor myself.  (I had so many errands to do resort to resort to push papers. I'd be able to save more if I drove a motor myself)
*and I added in segue*
Kaysa Maka uyab ko ug habal-habal driver sigeg sakay ug habal-habal. Musugot ka ma makauyab kog habal-habal driver? (..Rather than ending up with having a motorcycle driver boyfriend. Would you like it if I had a motorcycle driver for a boyfriend?) 

My ever fierce mother in a light monotone:
"ikaw bahala. basta kay buutan" (It's up to you, as long as he's kind)

Okay. So, let's go back to square one: 
My mom's future husband standard boils down to this-
-BAHALAG HABAL-HABAL DRIVER, BASTA KAY SWEET LOVER este.. BASTA KAY BUUTAN.

I guess, this is what happens when you're 24 and your mom know's way better. Some parents don't actually explicitly say what decisions we should take in life. They just give us hints that we either choose to process and follow. 

and yes! I saved my self from another sermon of "The Dangers of Driving or Riding a Motorcycle."

Lives are Numbered, Seasons have Days

I've been meaning to do this write-up for quite some time already but it just came to sink-in, now.  I started drafting this post about 2 months ago with 2 paragraphs and 4 lines on it. Until today. I decided I had to finally put things into words, this time. This deserves a publish.  I'm breaking the news. I'm finally in a relationship.  "ENOUGH," I said midway through the year of 2019. I grew tired of dating gazillion times, sipping up coffee while mustering a conversation which was a struggle to maintain. My life seemed to be stage play in barren field with all the entertainment I've been through that bore no fruit at all. I think, for most of my age, people have at least planned to find partners and settle. On the other hand,  I had my own directions , even considering ending up alone to the point of buying myself a small house where I will live by myself til I grow old. Life always has ways of making us tread into crossroads that le

5 Signs you need to de-stress

-
This is a busy world! Remember the last time when you didn’t need to set your alarm before going to bed? Or having to check your wrist watch while having coffee in daylight with friend? Most of us probably lost the time to sit back and for a second forget about the time, forget about other things and RELAX. And because industry is demanding so much work from us these days, we often put more than two of our feet in a certain situation, forgetting that there’s only two of them! We’re demanded more of what we only have! What’s the point? We exhaust ourselves too much on things that would lose us, which is probably why we get a lot of boiling tempers,  excruciating body pains, migraines, insomnia, and unusual mood swings. So here are 5 signs that you need to pack your bags, take a break, and enjoy the road and the freedom in the outdoors. 11)     THE BLURR- “It’s just my memory against me!” “I’m aging really fast.”  When things go wrong because you lose focus, we often say it’s

WIRED TO BE BEAUTIFULLY LOVED

Imahe
My dad had been a lot different lately. I guess this pandemic's lockdown has its way of squeezing out creative juices and hidden abilities in people. I have been with my dad for 26 years but it took us that long to know him a little bit more. He loves planting and finds joy in taking care of them. This week, he showed me a little Bonsai plant he was taking care of; I never knew he would take his planting hobby to that level! I observed tie wires entangled with the plant's stems. I asked him why he had to wire them up. He said, the wires were meant to form the plants according to his design, eventually they will be removed once the green stem turns brown and hardens up. In that moment,  I saw God in my dad. Many years ago, God made a covenant to David saying " I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And My loving devotion will never depart from him as I removed it from your predecessor." (1 Chronicles 17:13) God is no different than our earthly
