Exploring T'nalak Festival 2015

-

The festive evening brought by the warm embrace of the people of South Cotabato during T'nalak Festival.
 






















  First of all, I am not the type of a person who loves outdoors. Not that my parents are protective, but it is really my choice. I don’t know what had happened to me, but I enjoyed exploring this year’s festival. I love the street and the crowd that makes the party more alive. Even though, I can’t meet my schedules on time, I am not bothered and my guilt feeling  of being lazy is not working either. :)

As I walked on the street, Iam so much contented with what I am seeing. People have different ways of celebrating this festival. I saw family that shares their authentic smiles, friends who are enjoying the party and couple who appreciates some perfect view. My camera also agreed with me and you can see it on my output. I can still have the hard time in choosing the best setting in the manual mode, but I believe that practice can perfect it.

 I think this calls for my freedom and it happens that I am living alone in the city. I love our home in the province, but I also wanted to explore my capabilities and this moment implies that I am already walking on the line. I am not that scared anymore. Sometimes, I got tired, but smiling can ease everything.  
Life will always be dependent on our contentment. A single thing can make us happy even if it was just a plain simple one. :)

'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.'

Written July 14, 2015 . This is the movie wallpaper of Wild. I just finished watching the movie 'Wild'. I chose to watch this movie tonight because of Reese Witherspoon and she's one of my favorite. And also, I didn't have a lot of things to do right now, so I prefer a movie over a book. I thought this was all about hiking because that was the idea I got in the trailer. I was wrong. Somehow, as the story continues, it illustrates how strong a woman can face life alone in the dessert and how she survives such crisis. It also depicts what a woman can do in order to move on and surpass her troubles. As a woman, myself, the movie helps me to become more courageous enough in dealing with my own problems. There was a line that catches my attention, 'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.' It can be our life's motto especially if we are losing hope in our situation. This is Cheryl Strayed. Cheryl Strayed and Reese Wither...

     I already said my goodbyes repeatedly years ago, but when he came back without a warning, the feelings have suddenly immersed and I am here troubled with doubts of what would be the right thing to do.       Yes, I dearly love him after all these years, but as far as we go through this journey, we can’t keep ourselves steady and stable in securing a commitment. I don’t know if this is just a minor feeling, but I am hurt already in the inside especially on his silent treatment and ignoring behavior.       I love him that I almost have given everything just to keep him in my life. Love can really make us crazy and because of these raging feelings, I can do things without even thinking clearly. Now that he’s far away from me, I am keeping myself secure and somehow ready for anything that will happen sooner.       I should be contented with what I only have in my life. Honestly, this is what I co...

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back?

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back? Originally written last June 26, 2013. 'Sometimes we tend to overindulged ourselves with earthly things. Then, frustration comes in when the feeling of inadequacy overshadowed us.'    Last June 23, 2013, I ate a lot that I couldn't manage my stomach anymore. It started with a cup of milo at 4am. I was in the graveyard shift that time. I didn't have enough sleep and I don't have any choice, but to drink cup of coffee after I ate my breakfast. Well, I'm living with my family and I didn't have the hard time in preparing my meals. That morning we enjoyed our merienda because shared a serve of mango float. I'm glad staying in the house every weekend because my siblings were there and together we're complete as a family. I ate four slices of pizza the afternoon of that day and then, it started my hyperacidity.      I was diagnosed with GERD last year. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Diseas...
