“Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won’t have a title until much later.”
— Bob Goff
I’ve always wanted to visit The National Museum of the Philippines and finally we had the chance to explore it.
It was so magical seeing up close the masterpieces of our heroes and national artists. It was as if I was the kid in Bayani who rode a magic bayo and travelled through time.
Since we got home i’ve been feeling overwhelmed and stressed out with never ending chores and things to do. I’m getting exhausted from taking care of the twins to managing a household and tending our pugies as well.
But I’m trying really hard to see it in a different way. Instead of just being satisfied with the result, i’ll enjoy the process. See the beauty and delight in the mundane.
A good read indeed

Try doing the one that’s physically easiest to do right now. Helps me, anyways.
Do you feel like doing something with your hands but don’t wanna use your brain? Try a repetitive thing like knitting, practicing drawing shapes, practicing your handwriting if you’re learning a language with a different alphabet, etc.
Feel like just being entertained and killing boredom? Pick up the book or movie nearest to you and dig in. Maybe make a drink and snack to enjoy.
Feel like thinking hard? Write something or look through the textbook or website you’re using to learn your new skill. Maybe draw something more complex. Make a plan for a new project or come up with a realistic study schedule for yourself.
Wanna lie down but still do stuff with your brain? There’s apps on your phone for that! You can plan out a cross stitch pattern, go on duolingo, read something on the kindle app, put a filter on a photo, do a doodle with your finger on a drawing app.
This way of thinking of things doesn’t always solve the issue but it helps me sometimes when I’m feeling indecisive.

“Some people hate the thought of being alone. I’m not like that. I love my solitude. I’m kind to myself. My feelings don’t get hurt. My energy’s not leeched. And it’s very peaceful.”

“There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.”

tumblr is still a home yet no longer feels like one
it's like the same house that i used to live in when i was younger but has different corners. wall paints were changed. there are lots of new decorations. partitions between spaces are no longer that familiar. now, i have no idea where to go.
unlike before it was easy to find spaces like it has one living room (dashboard) for everybody and i only get to see ppl that i like to see in that particular room which was nice!
what's weird is even after all the changes, i keep on coming back home.
A bunch of coffee shop pictures.
I miss those days.

“It’s like when someone says, ‘How are you?’ Do you say, ‘Well, my head hurts and I’m lonely and depressed and I’m worried about everything and the world is collapsing and full of evil’? Or do you say, ‘I’m fine’?”

“I am tired of this place. I hope people change.”
— Fools, “Troye Sivan Cover”
I am very much aware of that I was a sh!tty child. A kid who had behavioral problems and most probably mental illness. As I grew older, albeit struggling I did my best to change for the better. Making up to people and all the things… But sometimes I feel like it’s never enough, no matter how hard I try to be good and do good things or be the Switzerland it’s not enough, I still come off as the bad and toxic one.
