That Thing Called Tadhana (kind of conversation)

-
at kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari. Once and for all. Hahaha!


Disclaimer (and being too defensive. Nageexplain!): Since I quit all vices I had during college (we've all been there!), drinking is one of those. I stopped drinking because it felt like I'm too old to be drunk and I have engaged myself with sports. I don't want that (drinking) to be a hindrance why I can't run 10k, swim or whatever. 

And since all of us are going through something sometime in our lives, we all had our moments. So, I welcomed the drinking spree and yes, it couldn't get any better than this. Bwahaha!

We had a serious conversation of how things went and conversation of pure foolishness and somehow, it was perfect. 

One-on-one inuman:

Me: Sabi nga sa movie, pwede tayong umiyak gabi-gabi, uminom gabi-gabi... repeat until fade.

Friend: Oo nga. Pwede naman talaga yun. Pero bakit di mo ginawa? Bakit di ka naman umiyak gabi-gabi at uminom gabi-gabi? O uminom ka gabi-gabi pero di ako na-invite? Hahaha!

Me: Hindi ka lang na-invite! Hahaha! Joke lang. Hindi ako umiyak gabi-gabi at uminom gabi-gabi kasi I don't feel like it. No amount of tears can bring everything back, no amount of beer can make everything fine. Saka hindi ko feel. Ewan ko. Masaya ako. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako masaya pero masaya ako. Saka napagdesisyunan ko na gusto ko masaya ako so I'm living it! Kung gusto solusyonan, madali akong kausap. Oo o hindi. Ganun nalang. 

Friend: Ayos naman pala eh. Pangalawang linggo ko na 'tong umiinom. Wala naman ngang nangyayari. 

Wait, hindi ba siya nageffort para makita ka ulit? Puntahan ka kasi nawawala ka sa wisyo at kailangan mo nang taong magbabalik sayo? Hahaha! Magpumilit kontakin ka kahit wala kang paramdam kasi dami mong problema nun? Tangina, di naman halata sayo eh! Hahaha!

Me: Ayoko sagutin mga tanong mo. Pucha, ang dami. Ganito nalang, sa tingin mo ba kung nangyari lahat ng pinagsasabi mong yan, nagiinuman tayo ngayon? Hahaha!

Friend: Shet, oo nga noh. Hahaha! So, wala din?

Me: Kumontak naman. Di ko lang nasagot kasi madaling araw. Sa loob loob ko, gising din naman ako sa mga ibang parte ng araw bakit madaling araw o sobrang gabi lang kumokontak? Hahaha! Di rin ako nakapag callback. Mali ko yata di ako nagcall back.

Mabait siya. Okay siya. Yun nalang ang i-cherish natin. Hindi naman ako malinis sa issue na 'to. May mali din naman ako. 

Friend: Pucha naman, Shainne. Hahaha! Kung isang try nang tawag lang pinaguusapan natin, pwede naman ulit tumawag yon kung mageeffort talaga at importante sakanya kung nasaang lupalop ka na ba napunta. Hahaha!

Me: Mali ko, di ako tumawag nga nung di ko naman nasagot. Dami kasi nangyayari. Wala sa wisyo. Wala sa hulog. Syempre di niya naman yun maiintindihan kasi para sakanya naglaho nalang. May mga dahilan naman ako. Valid naman, sa tingin ko. Ugh naman. Bakit ba natin to pinaguusapan?

Friend: Sabi nga rin sa movie... Ang mahalaga, nakalimutan.

Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort

A 15-20-minute ride from Commonwealth, Quezon City, Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort is one of the nearest relaxation spots where you can swim and enjoy peace and quiet time (given that it is not peak season). Entrance fee is P250 and they allow guests to bring their own food and drinks. There's also a convenience store near the entrance that sells everything from charcoal to rice and other things you might need to grill, cook, or eat; and of course, toiletries, most importantly. Cottage rental amounts to P700-P1000; if you are a group of  20 or more people, there's a pavilion available for rent that can accommodate that much. They also have an area where you can conduct seminars and other events such as debuts, weddings, birthdays, etc. You can also use the videoke for P900 (or if you can haggle, you can only get it for P700) and it is good for use during your entire stay, so you better get your songs ready and lined-up. Their restrooms and shower rooms are impressi

Ang Liham ni Andres Bonifacio kay Ka Oryang

1897  Mayo  1 Mahal kong Oryang, Andres Bonifacio at Gregoria de Jesus photo from the web Mali ka. Hindi kita nakasalubong upang sa dulo ng kalsada, ako ay liliko sa kanan at ikaw sa kaliwa. Sapagkat saan man tayo dalhin ng ating pakikibaka, ikaw lang ang aking itatangi at makailang ulit na ihaharap sa pulang bandila. Hindi tayo nagpalitan ng kwento upang sa pinakahuling tuldok ng pangungusap, ang karugtong ay alingawngaw ng katahimikan. Walang pagod kitang aawitan ng imnong pambayan, Oryang. Hindi kailanman ako mauubusan ng salita upang maialay sa iyo bilang mga tula. Maging ang bulong at buntung-hininga'y magpapahayag ng pagsinta sa tulad mong umiibig din sa bansa. Hindi tayo sabay na tumawa, nagkatinginan, at tumawa pa nang mas malakas, upang sa paghupa ng halakhak ay may butil ng luha na mamimintana sa ating mga mata. Loobin man ng Maykapal na pansamantala tayong magkawalay, tandaan mong ang halakhak at sigaw ng ating mga kasamahan ay sa akin rin. Hindi ka dapat masabi

Some might find it weird about how we juggle up on our interests. Some would say that there's always so much going on and some (might) find it interesting, too. Nonetheless, we just do what we love, what we are interested and passionate about and even the things we don't even know at hand hence trying out and its conversion. Interests, passions and talents turn to 'work' and eventually to crafts (well, whichever comes first). And same goes as what Tina Fey once said, "Your work is your craft and your craft is your art." How we care and hone our given skills and talents, as well dig into the deeper process on the things we are interested about (and even with those we are not totally into); then learning goes along with it.  Speaking of interests and different approach to ideas, medium and overall art... art galleries and/or museums are the best places to see the various aforementioned accessions.  I've visited different art galleries and museums
