My Soccer Player status just changed.

Image
I am Remy Marie Del Rosario, 37 years of  age, a soccer player turned mom. My son,Tala Elija is now a soccer player. Went to soccer school before formal schooling so just he can tell where and  when is it appropriate to let all the energy out. As a new three year old, (he just turned three last june) his attention span is being challenged by this activity, staying for an hour focusing on soccer is a huge feat. Also the discipline of following a leader (sometimes) is now being built early so it would be easier for me and his future teachers to take on teaching this one of a kind toddler. Of  course, He is wearing a Real Madrid jersey. So I got to interview him for his first day in class and this is what he had to say: And just like that my status changed to SOCCER MOM.

Of loss and Grief

I lost my father last week from cardiac arrest. And through the course of grieving I lost not a father but a meaning to life. In just one blink of an eye, you are a memory, a matter that passed. All the false pretense of how to live, carry and hold your life was a big fat lie. The battles and pseudo triumphs you picked and lost to were fucked up imaginings that strain and drain your human body. That you are a slave to chemicals, your soul lives by the promise and result of chemical reactions. It all goes down  to this end of the road where you are nothing but a dead body left to be buried into the very same imaginings that evokes simultaneous reactions for chemicals to feed on neurons to make  the hormones of the ones you leave behind react into a blissful state of something. The end is cold.  The end is cold.

Change in Humanity Activated

Donald Trump, Rodrigo Duterte, Radical Solutions and desolutions are openings for opportunities and change. There is a change that humanity is craving beyond the systems that are in place. That is just how the way it is, until it is put in a box that people are accustomed to, it will always be the subject of confusion and hate to people who have a parallel understanding of how the universe works. Knowing this does not mean you are okay with it..just means stepping back and assesing is the way you can live along these changes while keeping your morals and beliefs intact. Reacting to the actions of people that operate within the change does not help create the balance of your life, it is the work that you do to further your understanding that will create harmony. There  will always be the inevitable and chaos. I will discuss this in my blog as I go along.

Point to Point Bus: A Commuters Haven

Image
So I was asked by my boss to come and report for work, first thing that came to my mind was, what time do I freaking leave my mom's house because MNL traffic situation has no chill at all, worst of it's kind? How can I travel as cheap as I can going to the place I need to go to that is as comfortable as I am in a chauffered service like Uber or Grab Car or even close? I first saw this point to point service in ayala while I was dining out with my best  football buddy Rica and thought of trying it out the next time I am headed south. I personally think that this will kill the muck out of the current shitty bus system. So when I was presented an opportunity to travel southbound for work, I didn't miss a chance of riding this Point to Point shuttle service. For just 100 pesos I am able to enjoy pro's such as: 1.) Cruising just like how comfortable you would be in a car. 2.) Free Wi-Fi. 3.) Friendlier Bus Drivers 4.) Peaceful and safer compared to riding in a ...

Of Toddlers and Laptops

Image
You are not a mother of a forever curious and smart toddler if your keyboard does not turn up as this: I know I have a mom blog but Oh my brother, Taluli in his terible two's. Just the other day, this forever curious toddler took a trip with me to a place where there is a Koi pond and he was just in awe seeing the live  fishes. He started to throw stones, I panic in stopping him and patiently telling him how he should not be throwing stones as it will be painful if I did the same to him. Back and forth dude. I eat (The place that had a koi pond happened to be a food place) 3 bites and all of a sudden this boy takes off his shoes, tells me he is going to swim I put down the spoon and run to grab this toddler and think of a way to sit him still. But despite of this craziness, you  look into his face and every single crazy fit turns to a sweet smile. How do you get mad at this cuteness?

I wish this will go away soon.

I miss you around me making me smile greeting me good morning I miss you making me feel I miss that I can just call you and you will be here and you would make me feel calm. I still wake up around the same time that we both do 2-3 am I don't know If you still do. you have been my sweet space you made me feel really tender and it was amazing I don't know if it was amazing for you I don't know if you felt what I felt. but i had to stop it had to stop. because you no longer wanted. And I don't know how to cope with rejection. I had to be. I have to let it go. it is hard. I am counting the kilometers I spend biking in the places far away I already ran miles but still the pain is just the same I don't know when I will find or will I be found. But what happens now is I have to clean up every little mess I made Make up for all lost time that was brought about by my impulsiveness Do my own personal responsibilities With a hurt heart I k...
