Nothing special actually happened but I just had to share this blurry photo I took using my camera phone. Wala lang.

I actually wanted to capture 11:11 o'clock but missed it. Hence, here's 1:11! :)

On Being Free and Indepedent

At an early age of 22, I can honestly say I am very much free and independent. Yes, I believe I am. Not convinced yet? Let me share to you a few things:

I am free and independent because:

When I get sick...

I know, it's been a while again since I last blogged. Pardon the laziness. Anyway, I just wanted to blog about how my folks take care of me whenever I get sick, coz currently I am. My all-time nemesis strikes again, and asthma is the name.

I've been living away from home for a quite sometime now. FYI: I'm no runaway kid. I just chose to venture into a different place where I can exercise my freedom and independence. I can honestly admit that even at the age of 20, I was still very dependent to most of the people around me. But guess what? Not anymore.

Just Saying

Every time something not so good happens to me, I do away with blogging because I don't wanna post rants and complaints as much as possible. But please spare me this post, and allow me to say a few things.

Lost Cards

After the incident on January 1st, I just realized how important my cards were. Among the lost ones are my company ID, PRC ID, college ID, and my bank cards. I really experienced the hassle of having to reason out whenever asked for identification. Fortunately, I have one valid ID left that helped me through the past few days--my Postal ID.

With the lost cards, I have to deal with the process of getting them replaced.

As for my bank cards, I didn't have a hard time requesting for replacement since they accept phone transactions. I also had a smooth transaction with my company ID because all I did was just ask for a replacement from our lay-out artist. Unlike my PRC ID, I really have to go to their office and file to request for a new ID. Plus, I have to wait for approximately 15 working days before I would be able to get the replacement. As for my college ID, I will never be able to get it back. It's a good thing though that I scanned my IDs the last time before I lost them. Was that a sign that I will be losing them? Hmmm. Here, let me show you.

1.1.11

What a bang to start the year! Yeah. Really. My world shattered a little after what happened but I was able to pick up the pieces and put them back together. Let me tell you a story of what happened to me on the first day of the year.

On a cold evening of January 1st, my friend and I arrived at NAIA Terminal 2 earlier than the ETA. I was already feeling ill so we decided to head straight home. We hailed a cab and the sickly me took a nap on the way home. When we got near the house, I panicked because I thought the gate was locked and I do not have the keys to open the gate! I stepped down the cab immediately the moment it stopped and tried opening the gate and was relieved when I was able to open it. I went back to the cab and got our things from the compartment. The cab driver even asked when he was about to leave if we got everything and I responded with a confident yes. When already inside, I wanted to go straight to bed but remembered that I need to check something online so I turned to my stuff when I realized that one bag is missing!!! I left the bag that is sitting beside me in the cab. It contained my laptop, IDs, ATMs, and other necessary documents. I wasn't able to get the plate number because I was too confident nothing will happen since I was travelling with someone. I was starting to feel cold and numb. So before I lose my sanity about the situation, I gathered all my shit back together. My friend and I went outside the village right away to wait for the cab to come back, hoping and praying that the cab driver or the next passenger would be kind enough to return my stuff.
