interlude

ang oa ng crickets dito sa kakapiranggot na natira sa garden namin. kung makasabay yung ingay nila sa construction sa kabila eh wagas. kung maka-crikk akala mo nasa loob sila ng tenga mo. nasaan na ba yung mga palaka para makain na sila?!

at yehezzz mag-a-alas nuwebe na ng gabi pero tuloy ang construction sa kabila. alam ko namang matatapos din yan maya-maya pero kahit na. mga ilang linggo na silang nag-iingay hanggang madaling araw may kasama pang truck/crane. pati yung usok pumapasok sa bintana namin kumusta naman ang hangin na dito diba. tiis-tiis na lang dahil matatapos din ang construction. pero ang hirap. ang ingay. at kasabay ng ingay doon at ng crickets ay ang ingay ng utak ko. 

isa pa yun na gusto kong patahimikin. siguro after next week tatahimik na ito. sana. pero ngayon saksakan din ng ingay.

may isang kaganapan last week na hay naku naman kung makadulot ng kaba eh grabe naman. sa sobrang grabe tatlong oras lang ang tulog ko. yung nakatulog ako after 2 hours of trying to sleep tapos nagising ako after one hour, tapos nakatulog uli almost 2 hours after kung kailan malapit nang lumiwanag ang kalangitan. siempre kung anu-anong scenario na ang dumaan sa utak ko kaya lalong hindi ako nakatulog. yung sumunod na gabi inagahan ko talaga tulog ko at buti na lang eh dire-diretso ang tulog ko na. 

dapat siguro mas gabi pa ako magsulat para tahimik talaga. para nga lang mangyari yun eh dapat totally tapos na ang construction. 

actually gusto ko lang magreklamo rito na saksakan ang ingay dito sa amin ngayong gabi.

humina na ang pag-iingay ng crickets.

pero tuloy ang pukpukan at ang ugong ng pangmalakasang steel cutter machine sa kabila.

yung utak ko? wag na nating pag-usapan pa.

grabe mag-a-alas diyes na ng gabi ano na ba yang pukpukan! may hinahabol?

yun lang. good nite!!

lalala

i'm just putting something in here since i realised that it's the 11th anniversary of this blog. 

my food and travel blog lasted 12 years before i stopped posting in there.

wonder how long this will last? 

hahahaha

=========================

nothing much to update about, really. it's a holiday but it might as well be a regular day since the construction next door is going on full blast. all i could hope for is that the construction finishes quickly since their huge trucks keep hitting the side of our house and even our fence, thus crumbling a part of it. argh.

it's only a matter of time before another construction project begins where my lola's house used to be. and i don't think i can take it. more than the impending noise, tonnes of dust, and strange people coming in and out of the job site, my heart won't accept the fact that my lola's legacy will be gone forever.

but of course, i'm getting ahead of myself as usual. i still need to process things which i keep putting off. why i keep putting it off, well, i'm lazy in that aspect.

very much like how i'm lazy in writing in here. 

=========================

here's a song that's currently riding the earwaves as of many weeks now. i'm thoroughly enjoying listening to it using my noise cancelling headphones. love the beat of this song. also the headphones is one of the best purchases i've ever made last year haha.

Sunday Currently Vol. 58

Currently...

reading: She Wears Pain Like Diamonds: Poems by Alfa. Title was enough for me to pluck a copy out of the shelf. Love the cover too.

writing: This, and a bit in my ten-year-old journal. HAHAHA I really need to use up all its pages already so that I can start on that lovely red notebook I bought... two years ago. 😂 I haven't forgotten about my fanfics that I kept mentioning in previous volumes but alas, I still have no idea how to make the characters do what I want them to do. So yeah, baby steps until I get my mojo back.

listening: Come to Me by Clazziquai. This song is one of my fave Korean songs way, way before Kpop was even a household name in the country (can I even classify this band as Kpop...?). My Korean friend sent me an mp3 file of this song, and I was hooked to this band since then. Clazziquai also sang Be My Love and She Is on the Kdrama My Name is Kim Sam-soon's OST. 

thinking: Of the recent happenings. Sometimes being backwards ain't too bad. 

smelling: Petrichor. It hasn't rained yet, I dunno if it's going to rain, but yeah the atmosphere smells like it's going to rain.

wishing: It's already the 22nd. Nyahaha.

wearing: Striped v-neck shirt and my old pair of khaki shorts that is missing a button and is torn more than ever in even more interesting spots. I've had this since 2013 I believe. 

loving: The Extreme Bass setting in the JBL Headphones app that I recently downloaded to my phone. It's been several months since I bought my noise-cancelling headphones and I only just downloaded the app today. Anyway. I'm soooooooo enjoying the bass in every song that I'm listening to since this morning.

wanting: Two things: return to arnis training and cycling, and begin Muay Thai. I've been in a deep funk for nearly a year, my workouts have taken a hit.

needing: That push to start exercising again. Masasayang ang pinaghirapang black belt! Yeah I was promoted to black belt in arnis last February yahoo.

feeling: Glad that I was able to meet up with my friend after many attempts in the past year. 

clicking: Through this blog just to see what's up with my past self. So far I haven't read anything that needs me slapping my past self silly. Bwahahaha

Thanks to siddathornton for this great idea.
