TAG-LISH: Bulgogi Brothers, NLOS, Drunk, Sex

The original plan is a house"poker" party. This will be a celebration of Eren and Marga's birthday. But the house "poker" party is an EPIC FAIL!

Since we can't stay at Eren's house for the party I agreed to host it. Saturday morning, I asked my "kasambahay" to clean and do the laundry. Para naman malinis ang bahay. I was excited.

I woke up early Sunday morning to go to church since the party will be at night. Hindi na din ako nakatulog pa after kasi sa sobrang excited ko, nag palinis ulit ako ng bahay. Pinalitan ang mga bedsheets, curtains and table cloths. Since its Eren and Marga's birthday celebration, expected na sila ang bibili ng food at ako lang ang mag host ng place. Nag-usap na kami ni Marga kung anong food, then I asked them to buy 1 keg of Heineken and 2 boxes of S&R pizza. At dahil excited din ako, I wanted to share something. Nag pa-grocery ako sa "kasambahay" ko. I'm planning to grill some liempo and make my favorite dish. My very own, Killer Patataz.

The plan is 5PM, pero wala parin nagpaparamdam. Nabo-bore na ko. Mga around 5:30, Marga texted kakagising lang daw niya. Mag prepare na daw then magkikita na kami. At around 6Pm nagkita na kami ni Marga. I was not in a good mood that time na. So it turns out the "Pansol Crew" ditched us. They all the different excuses/reasons.

Anyway, since kami nalang ni Marga I asked her na mag Alabang Town Center nalang kami. Ayaw ko naman masira ang gabi ko.

We decided to have dinner at Bulgogi Brothers, a korean restaurant, and my favorite. Super nag enjoy kami ni Marga sa dinner. Ang dami naming na order at naka 2 cups of rice si Marga. LOL

While having dinner, kaBBM ko si Anna. She asked kung pwede magcoffee nalang daw kami in Starbucks BF Homes para makasunod siya. We agreed.  Nung nasa Starbucks na kami, Marga, Anna and Me, nawalan ako ng gana mag coffee since ang dami namin nakain. So niyaya ko nalang sila uminom sa NLOS Grill and Resto. Medyo good vibes yung sounds doon and chill lang. I told them na hindi ako uuwi nang hindi gumapang. We ordered their special vodka based drinks since sabi ng waitress walang hangover daw.

Inom. Inom. Inom. kulitan... then after few hours, I got drunk. We decided to go home.

then blackout.. wala na ko maalala!

I woke up, naked,  in my room cuddling with some random cute guy. I don't even know his name. Tulog na tulog pa siya. So dahan dahan akong nag punta ang bathroom cause I'm not feeling well. Nagsuka ako. [sabi ni ate, walang hangover?]

Pagbalik ko ng room dun ko napansin ung mga nagkalat na used condoms and lubes [sa table, sa floor, sa bed]. damn! maybe i was so drunk and horny last night? But I'm not like this. I'm not used to have sex with random strangers. Why did I let this happen?!

When the guy woke up, he started talking. He told me all the details of what happened last night and what made him decide to sleep with me. Unti unti ko siyang nakilala. His name is Richard. He's from the same village, few blocks away from my house.

We talked for hours. I found out that it was not his intention to have sex with me last night, gusto lang daw niya ako ihatid to make sure I'm safe. He tried to sponged me, para daw mahimasmasan ako but I started kissing him kaya nadala nalang daw siya. Nahiya naman ako sa kanya.

Before he left, he asked for a second round.. then third.. then forth.. hahaha!

from being so disappointed last night... now i'm wearing one of the most beautiful smile i had. 

While I'm writing this, I received a text from Richard asking me out. Will this be a new chapter for my love life? Let's wait and see. :)

I am Smoke Free

As the old saying goes; "Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win." I think that's crap.

Whilst this saying is true in some cases, it is certainly not a hundred percent of the time. 

Here's my story:

I'm a QUITTER! Yes, and I'm proud of that. I quit smoking and I won! While writing this blog post, I'm exactly 2 weeks Smoke Free. 

Marlboro Ice Blast - My favorite cigarette brand.

Why gave up Smoking?

Two years ago, I have committed my self to live a healthier and fitter lifestyle. I started running, I have conquered all distances in running [until full marathon]. I also started training for boxing and been addicted to contact sports since then. Doing all of that, I still feel incomplete. I was thinking and realized that in order to really live up with my commitment of living a healthier and fitter lifestyle, i have to stop smoking.

I've been addicted to smoking ("Nicotine is an addictive drug"). I started smoking when I was in high school. I used to think that smoking helps me deal with stress. It's a one tough challenge for me but I have to WIN.

I prepared a list of things to do when I get desires and thinking to smoke. Some includes: take a walk/run, have a cup of coffee or a bottle of water, chew a piece of gum or candy, have sex, kiss someone and the list goes on.. I already have tons of things to do just in case the craving hits me. Then those feelings disappear before I even realize it. It's like they never existed!  Now, my hands are no longer tied and I'm no longer a slave to the cigarettes! I FINALLY DID IT!

It took me two grueling years to finally stopped. It might be too long but it's worth it!

What happened after quitting?

* My family and friends stopped bugging me because  i don't smoke.

* I don't stink anymore. I mean, my clothes don't stink like an ashtray.

* I save a lot of bucks. More money to spend on other things.

* and the most important thing, I FEEL GOOD WITH MYSELF! :)

So if anyone still thinks that Quitters never win, well think again.

Stress and a Glass of Water

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g. to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued,

"And that's the way it is with stress management.
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,
as the burden becomes increasingly heavy,
we won't be able to carry on. "

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.

When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.

Don't carry it home.
You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you're carrying now, set them down and
don't pick them up again until after you've rested a while.

Hope we have not so heavy burdens today.
If we do have - rest then pick up.

"tara, p're, CHECK IN tayo."

5th Robinsons Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run

I had a great time at the 5th Robinsons Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run. This race is unique because you are required finishing the race together with your buddy. YES! You need to have a running buddy in order for you to register and you have to finish together. 

My running buddy? He is a good friend and my shoulder to cry on. *naks! meganon?* Ron and I decided to be running buddies. I'm a bit hesitant before the race because I'm not prepared for it. I've been idle for quite some time because I just had an eye surgery. So from being a couch potato, here I am running my come back run - 10k.

While running the race, I noticed runner couples holding hands.*inggitera lang!* I'm lucky to have a great running buddy. He's encouraging me to keep running and sometimes had to walk on my account.

wearing the "loveyourself" shirt during the run. Happy 1st Year Anniversary LoveYourself!

My buddy has been very sensitive to my needs. He constantly checks if I'm still okay. I admit, this 10k run is one of my worst runs. It's a "buwis-buhay" race for me. But my buddy made it much easier. He keeps on checking if I'm still comfortable with our pace, if we're too fast, too slow or just right, or if I needed to walk.

My buddy and I agreed before the race that the goal was just to have fun and finish the race with a decent time. We finished with an unofficial time of 1:11. not bad right?

After the race, Ron and I made a quick stop at Starbucks.  

The First thing I did when I got home; checked out the loot.

WOW! Groceries... I think this would last a month?!?! Hahaha

Have I mentioned I run the last 2-3km barefoot? Yes! At first I was wearing my Vibram Five Fingers, unfortunately, I had blisters and made me decide to run barefoot.

This is the only photo we have during the race from Pinoy Fitness. What the hell am I doing here? HAHAHA

"Welcome back to running, FRED! See you guys on the road.."
