Thirty Six and Close to forty.

I am close to my forties, been running around like a drunk ass lost soul, still a frustrated songwriter who can't keep a band together, a frustrated designer, who's just made 2 pieces of clothing, a frustrated nerd who is trying to learn to code, a frustrated dieter who loves to drink her beer and a frustrated guitar player who can't sing and play the guitar at the same time. A single woman without a wing man.
That's me awkward for pictures, PHOTO TAKEN BY: NIKON CELIS. And that's Gino my sometimes asshole friend.

I am getting old sitting through my flaws, make fun of it and or try to wait for a breakthrough.

I am not the kind who gives up though. I constantly fight through everyday. I believe in the power of seeking for a breakthrough.

I was not raised properly by parents so I kind of had to figure out stuff on my own, with the help of my circumstances. It wasn't my parents fault, I chose what I chose. I chose independence and with closed eyes I jumped in that opportunity, 18 years old onward. I lived in the houses that I lived, met the friends that I met, fucked the guys that I fucked, worked the jobs that I took went to the church that I went to.

What stuff did I figure out so far? Well I figured out how to play the guitar, drive a car, be a mother, be loving to another human being and taking care of an animal.

Along the way, taken cared of as if some hand was directing me with my closed eyes always to that path of safety and happiness. And with that I am very grateful for.

That is why I know for sure that I will not end up killing myself.

But as human as I am, I always crave for a breakthrough. And even if this essay wouldn't seem to be the case, believe it or not I am very excited to be thirty six and close to forty.

I SHALL NOT EAT INSIDE MCDONALDS SUCAT PARANAQUE

Image
Dear Mr. CEO of Mcdonalds (SYMBOL: MCD) Aside from the shrinking serving and very poor service that most of your franchises here have. I have to tell you that Your Sucat, Paranaque Branch suck. Below is the picture of a mosquito infested, poorly interior decorated and oh so messy stinky and very old bathroom, plus the unwashed curtain from pre school days makes this branch of Mcdonalds a sequel of the Twighlight zone. The part that bugged me so much is the Lola Decorations of THAT PLATE in THE WALL. It is old and dead, with over cooked spaghetti even. I just want to put this in your attention as I believe that one experience can kill everybody's Mcdonalds experience.

The trek back to THE VARSITARIAN and some snippets of the filipino culture

Any thomasian know The Varsitarian, I think it's the oldest org paper in the Philippines. What struck me in the front pages though is VATICAN CONFIRMS DELA ROSA UST’s 95th rector to be installed June 10 Funny because I didn't know that aside from The Pope, The Saints and all, The Vatican has a say to U.S.T`s rector. I miss Santo Tomas, the smell of grass in the morning field, the adrenaline in the gym, The Ala Starbucks in P noval and that string of joints in the parameters of that heart of espana. Almers, Cocoys, Ryan J gym, Goldilocks, Pizzahut, Lopez, and that fried chicken place which I forgot. I left Santo Tomas NOT in a heart beat. I had to go through widthrawals because I had an addiction to football at that time. I smell the grass, I drop my bags and drop my course and play. We always had a saying, "Sagabal ang Pag aaral sa Football". How I regret it now. I didnt know anything then so.. The Varsitarian was the first paper I have ever seen my name on. Hahahaha...
