01:56 – 062024

I’ve been sneezing non-stop over the last hour. My eyes are starting to swell and nose very runny. Madaling araw na, tulog na lahat tapos saka ako aatakihin ng hay fever. Hence.

While I wait for the medications to kick in, might as well magsulat dito diba? I can’t even remember when and what my last entry was pero sige, brief catch up tayo?

January – celebrated my birthday and also, my 10th year here in the UK. Siyempre, andami kong realisations sa buhay as I age, lalo na how my personality evolved over time. Dagdag narin natin ang pagsheshameless selfie sa CR with a little bit of skin kasi feeling ko I’m in my bomba star era. Chariz!

February – since bomba star era, siyempre kelangan maghanda. I’ve started taking pilates classes and actually loving it, kahit may nginig factor yung ibang steps or positions ba tawag dun.

Believe it or not, continuous padin ang pagigym namin and I’ve come to accept the fact na di nako papayat as before, pero I want to be healthy and have the freedom to do and eat anything kasi may balance.

March was very special. If I haven’t already mentioned before, I looooove scandinavian countries, snow and of course, the northern lights. And for this month, I was lucky I got to travel to Finland with friends where I tried to ski (best in tumba si gorl) and maypakandong kay Santa. Later that month, we went to Iceland (adventure to pero chika ko next time) to see Park Seo Jun and get to taste his cooking. As a bonus? Best in appearance and dance si Madame Aurora Borealis super looove!

April naman is lie low sa lamyerda, but still may pa-activity. We had two shows lined up to watch in West End – Your Lie in April and Spirite Away – both Japanese animè which we love and of course, blown away kame how it was translated into theatre, as in live action chururut. As a wildcard, we also booked to watch The Play That Goes Wrong and we thoroughly enjoyed best in tawa kame kahit english lol.

Si May – may pasabog din. This was hubby’s birth month so as per usual, we went away to have some R&R under the sun pero ang pinaka highlight, si Madame Aurora B. naman and dumalaw sa mismong bahay!

I think fully updated and nakahabol narin ako dito sa blog for my very few avid readers (wow kala mo naman) although alam ko namang this is mainly for me to read in the future. For some reason, di rin pala nagupdate yung domain ko, so it has changed from amazingcharrozcaldos.com to amazingcharrozcaldos.blog na. Anyway, dama ko na si Cetirizine at Otrivine. After 5-6 months ulet, taaaa!

Do you ever miss your old self?

I miss my ‘young, wild, not free but still crazy’ era. I have been looking at old pictures and videos and grabe, I had so much energy. So much life. So much light. So much fun. It’s like I knew that by the time I’d hit 30, I will more or less be tired and my introvert self will take over so ayun, sinulit.

One favourite memory: filed under year 2009, this photo resurfaced. I can recall parts of that night and the rest, well it’s self explanatory. This was roughly a month after the nursing boards – went to Manila. Met up with friends, nag Star City, nag- tambay, anxious with the exam results, heartbroken (7-year itch), basically trying to figure out what’s next. It was such a confusing stage. Next thing I know, napasarap ang kwentuhan, napadami ng bucket at sisig hence, this. My tita self is cringing – ang dumi dumi jan ghorl.

This was me, drunk. But for the record, not drunk enough to be sleeping on the grass ha. Acting lang yan, then unli tawa after. This was a loooong time ago but still feels fresh in my mind. I guess it wasn’t anything grand but the feeling of comfort lang to be with friends during that time really stuck to me. Fun times mga bords (Anye and Chy). <3

Highs of 37

Home home after 5 years and man, a lot has changed. Fermi nga napprogresso gapa ngana y Tuguegarao. I am both nostalgic and taking in all the new sights. And of course, let’s not forget the HEAT. I am close to melting as I type this entry. Golpe fatu na alle matenak.
