Quackity as ur bf.

Headcanons

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆ NOTES: my version of Quackity as ur bf!!! not proofread :d

VERSION ONE (shy type?)

It definitely took you almost a year for him to, say yes to you or realize his feelings for you because he is hotheaded and unbothered with romance.

After he said yes, he might have ghosted you for 2 days because he was so shy and didn't know what else to do so you came over to his house to hangout and so he can warm up to you.

Then after warming up to you he showed you a side of him you never saw,

He would be the one to take you on dates by surprise,

he would give you roses, bouquets, pretty jewelry that doesn't have to be expensive, chocolate, etc as a gift.

When he fully warmed up to you he became more comfortable with doing things he never really thought would happen to him.

Constantly checks up on you and asks what your doing.

SHOWERS YOU WITH COMPLIMENTS!!!! even if you look like a rat from new york that fell in a sewage, he would call you pretty and loves to hug you!!

Nicknames would definitely be considered in the relationship, you would call him nicknames out of the ordinary.

Third image, definitely him!!!

NOTICES SMALL THINGS ABOUT YOU BECAUSE HE THINKS YOU'RE SPECIAL

If you guys had a fight he would give you space but reminds you that he's still there and won't leave you. He would apologize with gifts and affection.

After you guys fought and made up, the clingy side of him would spawn and not leave for months until he knows that you and him are okay.

VERSION TWO (ewan type)

He was the one who courted you and it didn't take too long for you to say yes because he was constantly next to you and you already had feelings for him before.

After you said yes, he immediately warmed up to you but was still shy doing things with you, you and him decided to take things at a slow pace and not rush everything as there's still time.

The first date you and him had was somewhere expensive because he felt extraordinary, but the next dates that occurred were not too expensive because you told him that he doesn't have to tale you on these expensive dates every month, so every week he takes you on road trips whether it's from one city to another city vice versa. He definitely likes taking you to Baguio city or any city that's either cold or hot. Give him a weather, he's taking you there.

Emotionally smart and Street smart fr.

Sings for you!!! Or makes songs for you, the very first song he sang to you was a Daniel padilla song because he found out that you were a fan.

He loves hugging you and calling you his girlfriend, also loves complimenting you because he's great with his words. Treats you like a princess!!!

Nicknames are a must for him, "love". "pretty". "babe" any nicknames that are considered cheesy by single people

Very responsible and mature, so if you're being irresponsible and acting not so mature in a serious situation he would snap you out of it and act non-chalant.

Very seloso! (jealous) sometimes overprotective over you, like if you were talking to someone he doesn't know, his eyes would be focused on you and the person, he would observe everything the person is doing and would try to scan their personality based on their movements.

He's scary but gentle, honest, caring, loving, basta alam niyo na.

minsan di mo na alam kung pogi typings ba 'to or wala talagang pake.

If you guys had a fight he might ghost you for 4d-2w laging nagtatampo siguro, parang aso namin. But he would apologize with words while hugging you, he would gift you something as an apology.

After making up, he vows to not fight with you again because he didn't like that and he would be clingy and takes you on roadtrips.

midnight memories — kmg

PAIRING. kim mingyu x reader SUMMARY. in search of the true meaning of home, i found myself in baguio city, a place that failed to capture my heart. amidst homesickness, i encountered mingyu, a kind stranger who became my refuge. GENRE. fluff, angst W/C. 2.7k NOTE. enjoy pls (⁠ﾉﾟ⁠0ﾟ⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠→ other works

"home," a word effortlessly spoken, yet its essence evades definition. what does it truly mean? is it found in a person, a lingering connection to a distant place visited but never returned to? does it reside in cherished memories or the beckoning of a soulful city? in reality, the concept of home intertwines with personal journeys and unique experiences. must it always be perfect, brimming with eternal happiness?

though i've wandered this world for what feels like eternity, stability remains elusive. a perpetual seeker, i've resided in baguio city for three fleeting years. still, this place fails to capture the essence of home, as a piece of my heart remains bound to my birthplace.

homesickness, a familiar companion, anchors me amidst life's ebb and flow. it echoes in my studies, reverberates through the hours spent toiling at the local café, and even in the faces of transient tourists gracing baguio's streets. a bittersweet melody courses through my veins, for i yearn for the comforting warmth of home, while simultaneously cherishing the fleeting beauty that surrounds me.

baguio city, they say, wears a cloak of melancholy in the philippines, as many come, not with the intention to stay, but to pass through its embrace. some arrive to study, like me, while others seek to forge memories, but in a matter of days, they leave, leaving this place behind, carrying those cherished moments in their pockets. three years in this city and yet i've met more tourists here than locals.

in the hush of that moment, the cafe's door chimed, announcing an arrival. engrossed in my task of wiping the counter, i caught only a glimpse of a towering silhouette casting a gentle shadow over me.

"excuse me, could i have a large strawberry creme frappe, please?"

i glanced at the customer, then shifted my gaze towards the clock. 12:34 am. strawberry drink at such an hour? i stole another look at him, and there it was—a radiant smile that seemed to hold the answers to my unspoken questions.

"a large strawberry creme frappe for whom?" i inquired.

"mingyu," he replied, his grin widening with delight.

"alright, please wait for your name to be called as i make your drink." i said with my customer service voice while wearing the smile i trained three years for.

within the walls of the 24-hour café, the midnight hours wore on, enveloping the space in a quiet solitude. though usually bustling with students during these late hours, tonight, only one soul sought refuge in the cozy haven. as i prepared the requested drink, my eyes darted toward the rain-soaked parking lot, where one car rested. perhaps it was his, and the torrential downpour had deterred others from venturing out into the storm, leaving him the only person who seeks for peace and quiet in this establishment.

"mingyu," i called, presenting the freshly prepared drink with a smile.

"that's me!" he replied, his cheerfulness evident. "i mean, i'm the only one here, so..." he trailed off with a hint of playfulness in his voice, adding another remark.

perplexed by his response, i tilted my head and handed him the beverage. as he handed me the payment, i expected him to return to his table like any other customer, but to my surprise, he stayed there, standing before the counter. an unspoken curiosity lingered between us as we met each other's gazes, the moment hanging suspended in time.

"do you need anything else?" i inquired, trying to understand the reason behind his lingering presence.

"do you mind if i sit here?" he asked, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. "it gets quite lonely sitting all alone at that table, or well, in this entire café, considering i'm the only one here. plus, i wouldn't mind a bit of chitchat. by the way, are you the only one working at this hour?"

"shouldn't you be studying?" i pointed towards his table, where an assortment of papers and a laptop were strewn.

he chuckled, dismissing the notion, "nah, those are just for show. trying to look smart, you know." his laughter filled the space, lifting the quietude. "so, are you here all by yourself, working late into the night?"

"my co-workers decided to call it an early night, but i opted for overtime since i don't have classes tomorrow," i explained.

"ah, right, it's saturday," he noted, as if the weekend had granted him a moment of reprieve from the demands of academia.

without uttering a word, i watched as he claimed a stool by the counter and settled into it comfortably. with no tasks left to occupy my hands, i joined him, positioning myself across from him, maintaining a comfortable but not too close proximity. a serene stillness enveloped us, accentuated by the gentle patter of raindrops outside. the only audible sounds were the rhythmic melody of the rainfall and the occasional subtle noises he made, a testament to his enjoyment of the drink he held. in that shared silence, an unexpected tranquility filled the air, creating a quiet connection between us.

"so..." he began, a hint of curiosity in his voice, attempting to bridge the silence, "you're a student?"

"yeah, third year in bs mathematics. and you?" i replied, reciprocating the inquiry.

"i'm a graduating student, studying architecture," he responded, his tone carrying a sense of accomplishment.

"do you live here?" he queried once more, his interest piqued.

"for the past three years, yes. and you?" i inquired, eager to learn more about him.

"i actually grew up here," he answered, accompanied by a gentle smile. a realization sparked within me—how peculiar that our paths had never crossed until this moment.

"i wonder why i've never seen you before," i mused aloud, the mystery lingering in my thoughts.

he mirrored my sentiment, a playful glimmer in his eyes. "and how come i've never seen you before?" he countered, extending the question back to me.

as the conversation flowed, i didn't want to appear uninterested in his life, so i took the initiative this time, posing a question of my own. "what are your plans after graduating?" i inquired, curious about his aspirations.

his face brightened with a smile, but a hint of bittersweetness tinged his words. "i'll be leaving baguio," he replied, a dry chuckle escaping him. "there are more opportunities for me elsewhere, and i've come to realize that i need a fresh environment to grow."

his question returned to me, and i felt a sense of vulnerability as i was about to share something i hadn't expressed to anyone before. "i haven't told anyone this yet, but i want to stay here," i confessed. "i believe i've found a sense of stability in this place, you know? my dream is to open a café like this, even though it's entirely unrelated to my course." the revelation carried a mix of determination and uncertainty, but there was a glimmer of hope in my eyes as i shared my heartfelt ambition.

a soft smile played on his lips as he looked down at his half-empty drink. "that's nice," he said, his voice warm and genuine. "really, that's so nice. i love it when people are happy and sure with what they want," he continued, his words carrying a sense of admiration.

his heartfelt appreciation touched me, and a gentle gratitude welled up within. in that moment, i realized how our chance encounter, amidst the rain and solitude, had sparked an unexpected connection—a brief yet meaningful exchange of dreams and aspirations, and a shared appreciation for certainty in our paths.

"how are you planning to get home? the rain is still quite harsh," he asked, displaying concern for my well-being.

my gaze shifted towards the clock, and a jolt of surprise shot through me. it was 2:34 am. had we been engrossed in conversation for two hours? as his question echoed in my mind, i realized the challenge that lay ahead. how was i supposed to make my way home in this relentless downpour?

considering the circumstances, i contemplated the possibility of closing the café earlier than the designated 24-hour mark. after all, the weather had dissuaded any potential customers from venturing out into the storm. it seemed unlikely that anyone would brave these conditions to go here.

as my eyes fell upon the large glass before him, condensation forming from the melted ice, uncertainty lingered in my response. "i don't know," i confessed, my voice carrying a touch of vulnerability.

at that moment, he offered a gesture of kindness that caught me off guard. "i can take you home if you want," he suggested, his words resonating with a willingness to go the extra mile.

that night, he took the wheel and drove me home, the raindrops dancing against the car windows as we embarked on a journey that transcended the physical distance. little did i know that this act of kindness would mark the beginning of a beautiful connection.

in the days that followed, our midnights intertwined, weaving a tapestry of shared moments within the confines of the café where i worked.

time seemed to stand still as we forged memories in that small space, an oasis illuminated by the soft glow of dimmed lights. even on my days off, he made it his routine to visit the café or my apartment, seeking solace in our late-night rendezvous.

his presence became a cherished constant, a testament to the significance he placed on those stolen moments of respite. the fact that he chose to spend those precious hours with me carried a depth of meaning that words alone could not express.

amidst the flow of life, he became the anchor i had long sought—the elusive stability that had evaded me for so long. in the vastness of baguio, he emerged as my confidant and companion, my sole friend in this city of transient souls. together, we found solace in each other's company, weaving a cocoon of understanding and support.

through the laughter shared at the café and the whispered conversations during quiet nights, he became my refuge, and i, his. our bond transcended the mundane hours of midnight, blossoming into something profound and meaningful. in this bittersweet dance of fate, we discovered that sometimes, it is amidst the transient moments that the most enduring connections are forged.

as the day of his long-awaited graduation approached, mingyu extended an invitation for me to join him at his school, a bittersweet occasion that would mark both a milestone in his life and the end of our precious moments together. however, the timing couldn't have been more unfavorable, for my own finals still held me captive.

"i'm so sorry, gyu, but i don't think i can make it," i expressed, my voice tinged with a melancholic frown etched upon my face. searching his eyes for any trace of disappointment, i found instead a gentle smile, his understanding nature shining through.

"it's alright," he reassured me, his smile unwavering. "i know how daunting final exams can be. we'll just see each other after graduation." mingyu's ability to grasp the depth of my obligations and his unwavering acceptance spoke volumes of his character. in return for his kindness, i resolved to mirror his understanding, appreciating the unspoken bond that existed between us.

as the days marched forward, mingyu remained true to his promise and sought me out after his momentous graduation day. exhausted from hours of relentless studying, i found myself on the verge of sleep at the center table when a gentle knock echoed through my door, stirring me from the brink of slumber.

opening the door, i was met with the sight of mingyu, standing there with two duffel bags in both of his hands.

"came here to say goodbye." his nonchalant demeanor masked the momentous weight of his impending departure, as if he could shield me from the ache that would soon pervade my life.

"this sudden?" i managed to ask, a rush of alertness washing over me at the gravity of the situation.

"i have to. i need to find a place to stay there, and it's not easy to find something suitable," he replied, his words hinting at the hidden struggles he faced.

unable to find the right words, i simply gazed at him, a thousand unspoken emotions swirling within me. and then, before i could hold back, i enveloped him in a tight embrace. the realization of my only pillar of stability leaving me had yet to fully sink in, even though deep down, i had known that this day would come ever since that very first midnight we shared. he embraced me back, his arms mirroring the same profound emotions coursing through my being.

in the midst of our embrace, his whispered words pierced through the heavy silence, carrying a bittersweet melody that resonated deep within my heart. "i will miss you," he confessed tenderly, his voice laced with both longing and encouragement. "achieve your dreams in baguio, okay?"

the weight of his departure bore down upon me, rendering me speechless, my emotions swirling in a tempest of hurt and longing. i couldn't find the words to articulate the ache that clenched my chest, unable to express the depths of my own affection. and in that moment, as the weight of unspoken sentiments hung in the air, he uttered those three profound words that echoed through my soul.

"i love you."

time seemed to stand still as those heartfelt words lingered, their impact rippling through every fiber of my being. yet, my lips remained sealed, as if afraid to utter the fragile vulnerability that had blossomed within me. instead, i tightened my embrace, clinging to the precious fragments of our connection, silently vowing to carry his love with me, even as the physical distance between us grew.

in the wake of mingyu's departure, a profound realization washed over me: our time together had been fleeting, a mere flicker in the grand tapestry of life. yet, at least i could say that for once in my life, i had tasted the sweetness of having someone to call home. as i had pondered before, the notion of home is deeply personal, intricately woven into the unique experiences and connections we encounter along our journey.

perhaps home can be found in that unexpected place, where love and fondness intertwine with every breath we take. it could be a sanctuary that captures our hearts, even if its time in our lives is but a fleeting moment. or perhaps, home manifests in the form of an unexpected person who enters our world, bringing solace and understanding, but is never meant to stay.

8 months later..

as the days turn into weeks and the weeks into months, i find myself entrenched in the familiar embrace of the city i now call home. with each passing day, i work diligently, striving to gather more experience and wisdom in the café that witnessed the tender blossoming of my heart. my fourth year of college rolls on, and though the world around me evolves, i feel somewhat stagnant, yearning for something more. i lost contact with him a few weeks after he left. we eventually stopped messaging each other because we are both busy with our own lives. he's now a professional while i am still here waiting for a change.

amidst the shifting tides of time, my feelings endure, unyielding. as long as baguio city remains, it holds the solace of midnight and the memories of cherished moments with an old friend close to my heart.

in the midst of my reverie, the café's door chimed, breaking the silence and capturing my attention. i turned my gaze towards the entrance, and to my astonishment, a figure from the past stood before me. in that fleeting moment, a rush of memories, both tender and bittersweet, flooded my senses, as if time itself had slowed its relentless march.

our eyes met, and in that exchange, i witnessed a smile that emanated from his eyes, mirroring the curve of his lips. it was the same smile that once accompanied those three words that stirred both wonder and heartbreak within me for eight long months.

and in that instance, a glimmer of possibility sparked within me. perhaps, just perhaps...

"excuse me, could i have a large strawberry creme frappe, please?"

kim mingyu is meant to stay.

Some pics and video from Operation Pie in the Sky!

This was the culmination of over a year of dealing with bureaucracy and illness so that we could avoid having our family forcibly separated.

The first one was while preparing for the three-hour drive to the airport, the second on the flight out, and the last two are from today--our driveway, and Miss Eleanor Yellinmore looking happy to be home. The rest are from Changi Airport in Singapore while we waited roughly sixteen hours for our return flight.

@thesurestthing got more pics than I did, and I'm sure she will post some later.

The full story is in other posts, but the short version is that we're a US couple whose daughter Eleanor (aka Pie, aka Eleanor Yellinmore, aka Baby El) was born in the Philippines, with complications, under lockdown, while we were on expiring tourist visas (because of the aforementioned lockdown).

An error on El's birth certificate left her stateless, meaning no passport for her, in turn meaning that we were in danger of our family being forcibly separated due to our expired visas before we could get it fixed. Thus began a year-plus legal and bureaucratic struggle that cost thousands we didn't have.

In the meantime, hospitalizations and other medical and legal stuff (including my month on an oxygen machine, hiring lawyers to help us get El's paperwork fixed, and finding a way to get married) took their toll.

Thanks to y'all, we finally got it straightened out, and were finally allowed to take her to reset.

So we got the cheapest flights we could find out of the country, spent sixteen hours or so hanging out at Changi airport in Singapore, then came back with everything reset. Finally got home to Baguio late last night, exhausted from stress and lack of sleep, but happy amd relieved. And most importantly, TOGETHER.

We still have roughly 14K USD debt to pay off from all this (with interest, it'll be a LOT more by the time we're done), still have to find a way to fund the surgeries I need (likely about 25K), and somehow come up with about 4K or so more for the SRRV, but our biggest fear was being forced to leave the Philippines without our daughter, and that worry is now GONE thanks to your support and generosity.

So thank you so, so much. ❤️

And now I'm going to continue recovering.

Oh, also, a travel tip: Terminal 3 at Changi Airport in Singapore has much more comfortable seating to stretch out on than Terminal 1, plus they have a butterfly garden there, at which I took one of the above pics of Zoey and El. Zoey got a lot more pics than I did, including the butterfly that landed on my face and just... stayed there lol.

Terminal 1 does have a robot busboy named Charlie in one of the food courts, though, so that was kind of cool. I should've gotten video of him, but was too exhausted to think of it.

And Clark International Airport in the Philippines, although fairly bare-bones, is much less crowded than the Manila airports. (Also much closer to our home in Baguio.)

Life update (year 2023)

Disyembre 7: (no longer believe in love)

Nawala yung taong pinakamahalaga sa akin, taong nand'yan palagi, taong I can rely on everything, taong kaya kong maging confident at comfortable kapag kasama ko, taong lagi akong sinasabihan na mahal niya ako, taong hindi ako kinakabahan sa tuwing kasama ko siya, taong mahal na mahal o minahal ko nang buo at tunay, taong nagpaniwala na totoo 'yong pag-ibig kailangan mo lang maniwala o magtiwala at higit sa lahat taong nagpaniwala rin na kahit mahal mo 'yong tao kailangan mo pa ring pakawalan dahil siguro iyon 'yong magandang desisyon para sa inyo. To tell you the truth, sa ngayon kaya ko na o nasasanay na akong wala ka, pero iba pa rin pakiramdam buhat noong naghiwalay tayo. Siguro hindi ko pa alam kung anong 'sense' bakit kita nakilala at kalauna'y naghiwalay rin, hindi ngayon pero sa hinaharap babalikan ko 'to at matutuklasan ko kung bakit. Sana, nasa maayos kang kalagayan, huwag ka nang ma-guilty. I'm no longer hoping for both of us. I'm okay at definitely makakabangon din sa dakok na ito! Thank you for leaving and setting me free. Malaman ko lang na masaya ka, masaya na rin ako! :)

Disyembre 17-21: Baguio (City of Pines)

Sa mga araw na 'yan nasa baguio ang ilang mga guro, sa totoo lang napakagandang manirahan sa baguio; malamig ang klima, mabilis kumilos ang lahat at higit sa lahat magaganda ang tanawin, nakaka-relax at nakakaengganyong mabuhay, sana lang talaga mayroon pa akong pagkakataon na bumisita muli roon na hindi na dahil sa trabaho. Nga pala, isa ako sa napiling 'writer' kuno para sa MATATAG CURRICULUM, gumawa at bumuo kami ng iba't ibang activities para sa anim (6) na booklets. Sa totoo lang? Hindi ko alam bakit ako isa sa mga napili kasi iniisip ko, bago lang ako at walang gaanong karanasan bilang isang manunulat at kung iisipin napakaseryoso ng trabaho na 'yon, pero naisip ko na lang kailangan kong gawin ang trabaho ko dahil binabayaran ako ng gobyerno at higit sa lahat para rin 'to sa mga bata, at aminin ko man sa hindi eh, pangarap ko rin talagang maging isang manunulat at malimbag ang pangalan kong nakaimprenta sa isang libro, siguro stepping stone na rin 'to no? Na tuparin pa ang iba ko pang pangarap sa buhay. Sa tulong ng Diyos, nairaos ko naman 'yong sa baguio, nagawa ko naman nang tama at maayos trabaho ko kaso nakaka-pressure lang din talaga kasi magagaling mga kasamahan kong guro, sana makatrabaho ko muli sila (Bb. Dar at Bb. Karen).

...So, sa apat (4) na araw na na namalagi kami sa baguio, nakatulong din siguro sa akin iyon na hindi ka muna maisip, naging abala rin kasi ako sa paggawa o pag-iisip ng iba't ibang estratehiya na epektibo at angkop na aktibidad para sa ikawalong baitang dahil ayokong mapag-iwanan, pabigat at maging caused of delay ng departamento namin, mabuti na lang talaga at naging productive ang paggawa ko sa baguio kahit pa napakahirap makasagap ng internet sa lugar na 'yon, na-challenge kami bagamat minadali eh maganda pa rin naman ang kinalabasan, magiging mapagpasalamat ka na lang talaga eh dahil umayon pa rin sa amin ang oras at panahon. Ngunit, pag-uwi ko sa bangkal, kumaripas na naman ang mga luha ko sa pisngi, 'yong lungkot na kinimkim ko sa loob-loob ko buhat ng apat na araw na nasa ibang lugar ako. Tahimik na hikbing pagluha dahil may kasama akong ibang naninirahan sa inuupahan ko ngayon, ito 'yong iyak na buhat nang kalungkutan at pighati dahil siguro miss na miss na kitang kwentuhan sa mga nagdaang pangyayari sa buhay ko, dahil ikaw lang naman 'yong taong lubos akong kilala, masaya man o malungkot ako. Mariin kong pinunasan 'yong mga luhang ayaw magpaawat sa pagbagsak, naisip ko nga na baka ako na lang iyong nakakaramdam ng sakit na ito na baka nga siguro okay ka na samantalang ako ay nagmumukhang tangang nagluluksa sa pagkawala mo. Hayaan mo, darating ang panahon na makalilimot at maghihilom din ako sa sakit na naranasanan ko buhat nang matamis at mapait na pagmamahal mo. Nais kong dumaan sa tamang proseso nang paghilom, tipong salat, latak at ubos na itong nararamdaman ko sa iyo hanggang sa mamanhid at hindi ko na naiisip ang pangalan mo, araw ng kapanganakan mo, paborito mong kulay o ulam, paraan mo ng pag-iyak, pagtawa o pagngiti o mismong pagkatao mo. Pero, hindi na para bumalik sa iyo upang masaktan muli, hinahangad ko pa rin ang tunay mong kaligayahan at tagumpay mo sa buhay :))

Disyembre 21-22:

Kahapon umuwi ako ng taytay kasi baka masiraan lang ako nang bait kapag nagpatuloy pa rin akong mag-stay sa bangkal, baka hindi ko kayanin at umiyak lang ako maghapon. Mas maigi na rin na nandirito ako para kasama ko ang pamilya ko hanggang magbagong taon. Ano bang mga ginawa ko? Lately, madalas na akong manood ng movies/series. Hmmm, natapos ko 'yong 'Don't Buy the Seller, Elemental' at sa ngayon pinapanood ko 'yong 'You' na pinagbibidahan ni Penn Badgley, grabe sobrang must watch ito, sobra akong hooked, invested at interested sa storyline ng series na ito, sana nga lang matapos ko hanggang Season 4 dahil gusto ko 'yong mga ganitong klase ng palabas.

7:02PM

Nalalapit na ang pasko, kaya ko siguro rin nasabi dahil tatlong araw na lang pasko na, malamig ang simoy ng hangin, marami nang nagtitinda ng prutas, laruan o mga panregalo sa talipapa, may mga palamuti ng nakasabit ang bawat bahay rito at higit sa lahat ito na ang panahon na makikita't maririnig mong nagsisipag-awitan o nangangaroling ang mga bawat bata sa bahay-bahay, ika nga nila namamasko sila at nais makatanggap ng aginaldo dahil nagbibigay nang ngiti at kasiyahan sa kanila, sana nga no? Madama ko rin 'yong sayang totoo at hindi lang hanggang umpisa, iyong hindi lang seasonal at pansamantala, 'yong ligayang panghabambuhay, hindi man lagi pero alam kong mananatili. :))

Patiently claiming and manifesting..

AKO naman at KAMI naman sa 2024!

Maligayang pasko pa rin para sa lahat!

#merry xmas

What is your favorite breakfast food? Fried rice with eggs and hotdogs, or tapsilog :) Such comfort breakfast food. I like Eggs Benedict and Monte Cristo too, but let's be real I never have either for breakfast and only get them at restaurants when I feel like having breakfast food on a non-breakfast hour.

Who do you (romantically) love? Nobody.

Have you ever considered yourself dirty? In a few aspects, sometimes. Like how I have a bad habit of putting trash in my handbag, and end up having a pile of papers and wrappers after a few days.

What do you do to relax? Playing with the dogs eases my worries more than anything, but I also like turning to YouTube.

Do you enjoy kissing? Sure, but I haven't done that in a couple of years. That's okay with me though, I'm not a very sexual person in general.

What about making out? ^ Eh, just about the same.

Where are you most ticklish? My tummy and waist. I don't like even getting hit in that area, no matter how lightly, cause I'll end up squirming hahaha.

Have you ever been to an arena concert? Yes, most of the concerts I've attended have been in arenas. The only exceptions were One Direction (which was held in outdoor concert grounds) and Se So Neon (happened in a large indoor tent).

Where was the last place you kissed someone? It may have been outside my house, right by my car. Memory's hazy.

Do you know anyone who is expecting? I know someone who was due in like a couple of weeks when I first met her, so she has likely given birth by now. As for currently expecting, I don't think so.

What does your third text message say in your inbox? Just my bank telling me there was a recent transaction on my card.

Do you use speed dial? I never used that.

If so who is number 5?

Have you ever kissed someone of the same sex? Yes.

Where do you want to get married? I've always wanted a hotel wedding just so everything - or at least most things - can be set for us lol. They have the ambiance, they've got catering, the sound system, some hotels already have their roster of hosts...considering how all over the place I can get, that much would be a big help.

Do you plan on having both your parents at your wedding? If I ever get married, of course.

If you could visit one person right now, who would it be? No one, I like being alone right now.

Do you like school? The social part of it was really great; some of the best years of my life. I liked learning too but only to an extent, as there were some subjects I found to be a waste of time + some teachers didn't have the best attitude.

What is your all time favorite subject that you have ever taken in school? History. < Mine too :)

Do you have a current teacher who you wish taught all of your classes? Not current, but I wish my high school music teacher had been my teacher for everything.

What has been your favorite part of this calendar year so far? Being able to save as much as I have.

Are you going on vacation any time soon? No plans currently. My parents are planning this huge party for my grandparents in June so that will 100% kill off any vacation plans; Reena just came back from a trip to Thailand so I'm sure she'd want to save for the next few months; Angela's super busy with boards review. In any case I plan on going to Seoul next year for when BTS are back, so it'll be smart for me to not book anything for now.

Do you catch yourself staring at inappropriate times? Sometimes.

How many times have you been fall-down drunk? Less than 10 times.

Has a friend ever really hurt you and you never told them? Sure.

Where would your most romantic getaway spot be? Somewhere remote in either Palawan or Baguio.

Have you ever stayed on a ride at a theme park to ride it again? I'm sure I did this during the school fairs. I was in the rides committee so I had a few perks lol.

Have you ever used your sexuality to get you something you wanted? I'm sure I have, but only with a partner.

What do you count as too spoiled? Anyone who overreacts/makes a fuss over the smallest things. It can be very telling of how they've always had everything handed to them that they're incapable of handling the most minor of inconveniences.

When you don’t feel good, where do you want to be? Just my room, or the café we have in the village. It's never crowded and is fairly hidden, so it's a nice quaint little place to escape to.

Have you ever set an alarm on your phone to remind you to do something? Sure.

Where do you want to raise your children? The city. The stimulation and sensations would be good for them, I feel.

What is your favorite Crayola scented crayon? Idk I was never around them much.

What is your favorite childhood TV show? Hi-5!

Do you ever look at yourself and not believe it’s you? Eh, sometimes. I try not to get existential like that often.

What’s your favorite hideaway place? That café I mentioned. Not a lot of people in my circle know about it or would travel to get there + the signal in that area just so happens to be weak, so it's literally a place you can 'escape' to.

Do you have a secret you have kept from your family? Sure.

Have you ever slow danced to a song you didn’t know? I'm sure I have.

Where do you study? I don't anymore.

Do you study at all? Nope.

What do you want to be when you grow up? I wanted to be a journalist, but I've since gone a little west of that – I'm currently a PR practitioner.

Has someone ever dedicated a song to you? I don't think so?

How many people have you kissed this month? None.

Do you like do have your hair pulled? Sure.

Are you close with your parents? We're on much better terms now but I still prefer to keep some kind of wall up.

How much do you wish/ hope for something before you give up? I can be very passionate and will fight for things/people, but if I feel like I'm not getting the same energy back I slowly let go.

Have you ever hung out with a complete stranger? Sure!

Do you work any holidays? No.

Camping Trip: Pangasinan Edition

If you're from Pangasinan or Nueva Vizcaya and want to go camping somewhere relatively nearer (instead of going to Baguio, Rizal or Zambales), then you should book your next adventure and nature trip to Malico. This quaint barangay is located in the municipality of San Nicolas, Pangasinan, about 40 kilometers away from the town proper and adjoins the provincial boundary with the province of Nueva Vizcaya. From Mangaldan, it took us roughly 2 hours to get there by car. Currently, the only mode of transportation available is through a private vehicle or motorcycle. Just make sure to be prepared as you drive ahead -- counting more than a hundred twists and turns in the zigzag road going up, Malico might have gotten its name from this. Maliko sa Malico, which means "many turns" or "maraming liko".

We booked our camping trip at Kindao Farmville and Campsite, just 1km before the Malico Viewpoint. You can either bring a tent or rent their A-type cabins: 1-3 pax is worth 1,500 php, while cabins for 3-6 pax is 2,500 php. You can park your car within the vicinity of the registration site or opt to pay additonal 500 php if you want to bring your car inside to carcamp or if you just have so many things to unload from your vehicle.

We also brought our own stock of food and rented one of their portable butane gas stoves at 250 php to cook rice and our meals for the rest of the overnight stay. We cooked Korean ramen with shabu shabu and melted cheese for dinner, the perfect complimentary comfort food to the cold, chilly weather of Malico.

Bring marshmallows, hotdogs and beers for the bonfire at night! 1 bundle of bonfire wood is 150 php.

Also, dont forget to step-up your A game for a highly entertaining night amongst you and your friends -- bring all your card games (uno or pusoy dos would have been fun lol); or those board games that we used to love so much back in the days. In our case, we chose to play the game "Never Have I Ever" while quaffling down on our beers.

Not much is provided per campsite, so it would be a good reminder to bring your own tables, foldable chairs, cooking utensils and emergency lights, as well, for the holistic camping experience. 😉

Unfortunately, our trip was cut short the next morning because of how crazy the weather turned out. We were met with strong winds and scattered rain showers brought by the Amihan. And so, we decided to leave earlier than what was initially planned. We couldn't sleep soundly inside the cabin all throughout the night because you could wretchedly feel the cabin shaking and rocking along with the strong gusts of the wind.

I would recommend booking your trip there during summer when the weather is ideal. Overall, it was still a very fun, wild and memorable (this is an understatement) experience despite the less favorable weather the following day. I definitely would want to come back there again sometime in the future just to unplug from the world and reconnect more with nature and the company of good friends.

Here's to making memories, one campsite at a time. ♡

1. Is sadness really necessary to know what real happiness is? Why?

2. What people can do to make you feel better when you’re sad?

3. What you don’t want people to do when you’re sad?

4. What do you do when you’re sad?

5. Do you think you can just choose to be happy? Why/why not?

1. Yes. We’d never know we’re truly happy if don’t know what it feels like to be sad.

2. Leave me alone. I’d appreciate them being there for me, but I’d rather be alone when I’m sad.

3. Still try to comfort me even when I don’t want to.

4. I go to Baguio City.

5. I believe that no one can be happy just because they want to or they choose to be happy.

Happiness, just like other emotions such as sadness, anger, fear, disgust, guilt, is a result of a particular chemical reactions in our brain.

There are four major chemicals in the human brain that influence happiness: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins (DOSE). And they are all triggered by experiences.

For example.

A student got a grade of 98 in her math class in the first grading period. She felt happy because that's how DOSE reacted in her brain.

In the second grading period, however, the student got a grade of 91. Will she be happy about it? I don't think so. Chemicals in her brain will react differently because of what she had experienced in the first grading period.

This is when insensitive people would say that she "SHOULD be happy" about it and "SHOULD NOT be sad" because 91 is still a good grade. Sure there is still something to be thankful of, but that does not invalidate the sadness the student would feel.

Another example.

A man worked for a job that he never liked but earned around 90,000 a month. He felt happy about it at first because his DOSE were aroused by the amount of money (a.k.a paper that can buy happiness) he received.

In the long run, however, DOSE reaction got weaker and weaker and the man felt no longer happy because of the fact that he hated his job.

The man then decided to "fuck this shit" and went to work for the job he truly love but earned only 19,000 per month. He felt happier, and even after a longer period of time he still was - because he was doing what he loved.

Because that's how DOSE work. These chemicals reactions change overtime - they could go stronger or weaker - depending upon your true priorities in life.

(Now, take time to introspect and try to realize your true priority in life that triggers DOSE in your brain. Is it sentimental or materialistic?)

Happiness is not a choice. You cannot be happy about something just because you want to be happy about it. But! You can choose the actions that you will do with the thing that makes you not happy, or makes you sad, or angry, or ashamed, or whatever. Like, being true to yourself and be a better person.

TLDR:

We should not force positive emotions just because they are positive. And we should not deny negative emotions even when they are painful. If you are happy, enjoy it. If you are sad, cherish it. Both emotions are a essential in good mental health.

Travelogue

Escape in kafagway

"Baguio City is the best choice for you if you have a plan to go out this summer with your family or friends because we all know that Baguio City is the Summer Capital of the Philippines."

On the island of Luzon in the Philippines, the mountain town of Baguio is home to institutions and resorts. It is known as the "City of Pines," and because of the extremely cold summer temperature, it is especially well-liked. With gardens and a lake at its heart.We arrived in Baguio City with cousins, and aunty, on April 28, 2022. It was summertime. My cousin organized or prepared our vacation to Baguio, and she rented an apartment for us close to Burnham Park so we could spend the night there.

The first thing we went to was the Igorot Stone Kingdom. It's a very nice sight; it's very cold here; it's made by our fellow Filipinos; it's very beautiful here; it's very beautiful when you make it here; a lot of people come here; there's a long line here; but it's worth it waiting here because this place is so beautiful. Many people were also selling souvenirs here with their own creations that were beautiful, and when we finished walking around here before we went out, we took pictures first. When we went out, someone was selling Taho strawberries. The first time I ate them, they were very delicious.

The Burnham Park is the next stop for us after we visit the Igorot stone kingdom ; it is conveniently located close to our flat. My cousins and I travel to Burnham Lake, which is in the middle of the park, and we rent a boat to go boating for Php. 30 minutes at 100.00. We attempted bouting, and the match we decided on was the swim match. Rentable bicycles are also available. Rentable bicycle options include single, tandem, and even bicycles with side vehicles. They even have kid-sized bikes. It's too wonderful to ride a bicycle because of the cold weather of the park, so my cousin and I rent a single bike and we enjoy the trip around the park.

Our next stop is Camp John Hay, where we plan to go horseback riding. Well, this experience has been unique for me. I ride a horse for the first time at that moment. I stayed in tune with my horse the entire time, sat straight and comfortable, and listened to the guide's directions. Enjoy the hour-long ride; it's well worth it.

Following our time riding horses in Camp John Hay, we all return to our apartments to rest. The following morning, we all visit Mines View Park, one of Baguio's vibrant destinations. There are shops around where you can purchase trinkets like brooms and other goods. Additionally, you can pose for photos or have your picture taken with the St. Bernards dog, which is a really soft and adorable creature. You can ride a horse or stand next to one while having your picture shot. You can also snap pictures while looking out at the Cordillera Regions' mountain ranges.

And the last one we went to was Dominican Hill. It's also a beautiful place. A lot of people come here. There's like an old church here. It's so scary. It's like a haunted house. But it's okay because there are a lot of people. We just walked around here and took pictures.

Do you still remember the first time you set foot in Baguio? I do. It was in the cold month of February in 2013. I was with my former colleagues and we went there to witness the Penagbenga Festival. It was too crowded, I must tell you. But never did it discourage me to go back there every time an opportunity presents itself.

There are tourist places I have not yet explored in Baguio however that’s the least of what gravitates me towards it. Been years already since I set foot in Baguio due to the pandemic. Add to it, I moved away from Manila. So that’s about 20 hours travel time - give or take, if I plan to visit the City of Pines again.

What I missed most about Baguio was its cool weather and fresh, delicious food. Para kasing the first few visits, given na sakin na I want to see the tourist spots like the Mines View na ‘di yata nauubos ang tao o Burnham park na andaming bangka. When you get to see all of these, you really just endure a 4-6 hours bus ride just to experience comfort. Like a home or place I never grew up from pero it brings me so much nostalgia like ano ba, strawberry ba ako sa La Trinidad sa past life ko? Ahaha!

Honestly, I envy people who lives in Baguio or got the chance to study there during their College years. E di sana may chance na clear skin ako now. E wala, sabi ni Lord - ilalagay kita sa lugar na may Mt. Mayon. Can’t complain either, I love that moody, little gal especially on a clear day or cloudless night sky.

Lastly, I missed the late night walks in the city. The feeling of cold breeze on your face as you walk. That’s why I prefer staying in a hotel just close to Session Road para accessible. I would end up the night getting myself a bowl of lugaw (there’s a good one just below SM Baguio btw!) or corn on a stick from the night market then head back to the hotel.

There’s always a little joy in my heart every time I prepare for bed and put on that thick, warm comforter. Ang saya-saya matulog ng malamig. Little things in life that I don’t get to experience always kasi ang init-init, sa Manila man or sa probinsya namin. So I guess strawberry talaga ako in my past life. Ciao!

BLOG Day 2

Title: A Day of Family Discoveries: Grand Reunion in Banao Mt Province

Date: April 27,2024

Location: Banao Mt Province

Weather: Variable, with Rain

Mood: Excited and Grateful

Today was a whirlwind of new experiences and family connections as I attended the Grand Family/Clan Reunion in Banao Mt Province.

I started the day with a sense of anticipation, waking up early to prepare for the event ahead. After taking a refreshing bath, I indulged in my morning skincare routine, wanting to look my best for the reunion.

Once ready, I joined my family for breakfast, eager to fuel up for the day's festivities. With excitement bubbling within me, I got myself ready, ensuring everything was in place for the day ahead.

As we arrived at the reunion venue, I was greeted by a sea of unfamiliar faces, all smiling warmly and eager to welcome me into the fold. Meeting relatives I never knew existed was a surreal experience, and I found myself marveling at the diversity and interconnectedness of our family tree.

Throughout the day, I had the opportunity to mingle with aunts, uncles, and cousins of all ages, forging new bonds and learning more about my family's rich history. It was a joy to see every family member, from the eldest to the youngest, come together to celebrate our shared heritage.

During lunch, I lent a hand in packing and distributing food and drinks, grateful for the chance to contribute to the event's success. As the program continued, I was moved by the heartfelt performances and special numbers presented by family representatives, each one highlighting the talents and unity of our clan.

As the rain poured outside, we took advantage of the opportunity to huddle indoors, using the downtime to deepen our newfound connections and strengthen our familial bonds. It was heartwarming to connect with cousins and uncles who shared my age or even younger, realizing that despite our differences, we were all part of the same loving family.

As the day drew to a close, we bid farewell to our relatives, promising to stay in touch and cherish the memories made. It felt so good coming home there after a long time, surrounded by the beautiful views of nature, fresh air and the comforting embrace of family. Oh how I wish to live in an environment like that in the future. Province Life. Simple yet so peaceful.

Time check: 12:08 am. We just arrived the Baguio City vicinity. Returning home to Baguio late in the evening, I felt a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the day's experiences. As I lay in bed right now, I reflected on the beauty of family and looked forward to the adventures that awaited us in the days to come.

Alternatively, thrill-seekers can try their hand at ziplining at Camp John Hay or horseback riding at Wright Park.

Getting There:
