Be One of Us

To have companions in life is essential to fill up our senses, to test our existence and perhaps, to be one of the Monochrome Maniacs at Monochrome Weekend.

Bearing With Each Other

Even bears have been bearing with each other, may it be in dancing, walking, running, may they’re in the sea, and in the middle of the forest, they have each other to bear all obstacles.

Curlew Reunion

Even in the sky, they still want to be together, to hold each other no matter what they will go through; bad or good times, rain or sunshine, windy or not, as long as they stick on one goal, their being reunited after all.

Reunite yourself at Monochrome Weekend and have good time looking at the photos posted for Aileni and for you!

Sunny Day With The Batch

A very sunny photo.

Singing Contest

Filipinos are really fond of singing, and I’m one of them. The batch may have already noticed on the program that there will be videoke king and queen contest. So by now, they might be thinking of joining. We still have to decide who will be the judges. So by now again, the batch will then think to volunteer as one of the judges.

The photo was taken at Kim’s house in Loay. Kim didn’t intentionally take Macario’s half body only, because he didn’t know Mac was just about to get the mike from me and would tell me “aims, please stop singing, the visitors are leaving.”

One Reason of Existence

Another reunion had been made when Kim (seated beside me) came home from Singapore. The meeting was unplanned as I only had to see him for a very important matter to inquire of, though, I got a call from thea informing me that Kim wanted to also see me, but I didn’t expect that there would be something like this: “pakals.” It’s his cute and handsome son’s graduation from day care if I’m not mistaken. As usual, when the batch get to be with each other, will have the loudest laughter any neighbor could be annoyed of. But so far, nobody had dare stop us; instead, they’ll also laugh at our laughter.

This is a great example of how friendship really is essential to one’s life. The relationship may not as deep as those with what we have (our best friends), but the fact that we have friends is enough for our existence.

Patience and Wine

I received a call from my H.S batch yesterday and told me of an invitation from our other batch who just came from Singapore. Though, the hot weather seemingly was not alluring to go out, but I need to meet up with the host for some very important matter to discuss with aside from the upcoming reunion. The weather and the time I had spent waiting for the one who called me have tested how much patience I have in myself. Fortunately, and again, been glad able to show to myself that I am more patient now than before.

The patience test was not over yet because when we reached the house of the host, darkness greeted us because there was power interruption in their area, and they got no electricity from morning up to 6 in the evening. Good thing though, the house is made of wood which could give a bit of cold breeze inside, coupled with a good conversation we had. I really appreciate houses made of woods as it had long been my dream to build one.

The conversation didn’t mind us as to what time would the electricity be back, because we were carried away of the topic and the laughter that once again we made. Until the lights resumed and we began to have moved ourselves from our seats and head over to the dining table and savor all the food that was served. I had to set aside my vegetarian diet to of course respect what had been served, and besides I really am not strict with my diet (lol!). On top of that, I am just human and capable of violating some rules. We didn’t drink some wines to neutralize some acids of what we ate (I don’t think wine is a neutralizer), but when I got home that night I opened a bottle of wine and enjoy one glass of it myself and later crawled up to my bed and slept.

Experience the feeling as if you're into a very serene places as you look over some of the photos posted on Scenic Sunday.

Coffee Addict

“I don’t drink coffee any more, only less.” This is what I always say to people who knew my being coffee addict and ask me out for coffee. Aside from red wine, coffee is also one irresistible drink for me. You would have stopped me if I tell you that I could consume 5 mugs of coffee in one day. But that is already a history because when I became health conscious I dropped the number down to 1 mug a day only. Not the strong ones, but it’s the coffee made of herbs.

A coffee invitation is one I could easily offer to a friend when I feel like going out for a company. It gives me a sense of comfort when there’s coffee on my table, inhaling the aroma of the flavor while having a chit chat with whoever is with me. I could still remember a friend of mine once we had coffee asking me how would I describe coffee in my life. I told her, “It’s my best friend whom would give me a sense of tranquility after I would air out all my sentiments.” Ironically, my answer was not what she was supposed to imply in our conversation but something about psychological interpretation of giving meaning to a coffee, which she then quickly explained something that is quite naughty which I don’t want to elaborate in here. Well, if you’re interested to know about it just send me a message.

Most of the flavors I would order when I get into a coffee shop or a place where coffee is served are the “latte” or “cappuccino”. So far they are my favorite. I have tasted the worst coffee on earth when I visited Singapore and I couldn’t remember anymore what flavor that was as I was only trying to taste their coffee for a change. After that I never ventured to other flavors anymore except for the two. But latte and cappuccino aren’t my coffee everyday since I have now made of herbs. And I have been patronizing it as it doesn’t only give me comfort but at the same time I am getting the health benefits out of it.
