"greek-Bros: When in Rome, wait wut?" (part 3)

*the bois have decided to take a trip to Rome, where rumors of a terrible and barbaric empire have spread throughout Greece that the country has been "ripped off" and shortselled from everything from housing to prostitutes. As the patron gods of Greece, it has been decided amongst themselves to witness this themselves. Disguised as mortals, they enjoy the typical Roman pastime of going to the coliseum after having a rather disappointing tour of the city.*

Dionysus, Apollo and Hermes: *all three either bored or mildly uncomfortable, are watching gladiators chase the world's most fastest Christian (whom seems to be out lasting them)*

Dionysus: .....it's been 2 hours. *Takes a sip of roman wine out of desperation, spits it out and winches* what the fuck this is practically saffron water?

Apollo: I have to admit....they did an amazing job at completely replicating several parts of Athens and Delos....a little too amazing.

Hermes: ....you guys think I should draft that Christian to my team marathoners for this year's Olympic games? I mean he's been going at it for like 2 hours I mean that pretty impressive...

Dionysus: DUDE don't you see, these guys are fucking crazy, that guy is running for his life for 2 hours from those clearly enslaved individuals from *looks at the gladiators*...ugh....I see......I don't know but they clearly aren't Romans.

Apollo: Dionysus is right, these Romans clearly have no sense of decency for the fellow man obviously.

Hermes: ...he is DEFINITELY getting drafted for my team.

Some random Roman over hearing them: Oi! Are you Romans?

The Bois: *slowly turn to the stranger*.....

SRR: Yeah, non-Roman folk must pay the "non-Roman tax"! And if you're tourists, you also have to pay the "Tourists tax"!

Apollo: ....what if they're traveling merchants?

SRR: than they pay the "Merchants tax"!

Dionysus: what kind of a hell hole makes people pay hyperspecific taxes?

SRR: *dial-up noises* ......what. are. Your names?

Apollo: um.......Phoebus?

Dionysus: ummmm.....bob?

Hermes: Freddy Mercury.

Apollo and Dionysus: *turns to Hermes*.....

SRR: *very roman dial-up noises* ......YOURE NOT ROMANS! You're those poser Greeks that totally stole our cultural aesthetic!

Apollo: WHAT?! *suddenly the air just feels like 5° warmer*

Dionysus: dude stop or they'll figure us out!

Hermes: Come on man, we can't use our godly powers on mortals while in disguise, it's a rule.

SRR: GUARDS! THERES TWO GREEKS AND A MALE SEX SLAVE HERE!

Apollo: wut? Again?!?

Dionysus: yeah um what?

SRR: Yes! Blonde headed people are strictly RESERVED for slavery. Sexual slavery!

Apollo: *sees the brown paint has faded away and starts getting flustered* THAT IS IT! I TIRE OF THIS OPPRESSION OF THE PEOPLE!

Dionysus: aaaaaand here we go.

*suddenly a literal sun ray strikes the two guards and SRR, killing them. The whole coliseum witness this*

Apollo: oops...I guess I got a little carried away.

Hermes: yeah. OOPS. Like last time.

Apollo: look that Oracle had it coming.

Dionysus: um guys we got a bigger problem.

*several guards surround them*

Apollo, Dionysus and Hermes: *all three raise their arms* .......

Hermes: ......well...this will be interesting.

Dionysus: come guys, why don't we just talk it out, chill and have some wine? I can make it in no time.

A Roman centurion: What's wrong with roman wine?

Dionysus: it's diluted as hell you should be drinking the finest undiluted wine pure and simple.

Roman Centurion: .... only smelly, dirty barbarians drink undiluted wine. Besides that's not what our Lord and Party Savior Bacchus would have wanted. He would have wanted the most elite Romans to enjoy the most delicate of wine.

Dionysus: OH FUCK YOU GUYS THAT IS IT!! *just straight up reveals himself in normal form* NOW YOU ALL SHALL SUFFER INTERNAL MADNESS FOR SOLLYING THE NAMES OF THE GREAT GODS!

Hermes: aaaand this is always what happens when he doesn't get enough wine in his system.

Apollo: I'd offer him some....but I ran out several hours ago.

*outside of the coliseum*

Gaius: HAVE YOU SEEN THIS EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE MAN!?!

A Roman Women: .....no.

*suddenly chaos from purple haze to sun beams, animal roars and people screaming come from the coliseum*

Gaius: *turns around* AHHA! IM HOT ON THEIR TRAIL! Thank you citizen. *Trots off to the coliseum*

*inside*

Dionysus: I AM TOO SOBER TO FEEL PITY FOR UOU PITIFUL CREATURES!

That one Christian runner: *cowardly shaking watching what looks like hell breaking lose*

Hermes: *riding an escaped elephant* HEY BUDDY YOU WANT A RIDE TO FREEDOM!?

Christian Runner: Are you satan?! Here to take my mortal soul?!

Hermes: No my dude! I'm the messenger of the gods! Yah wanna join my marathon draft? It's a sweet ass team!

Christian Runner: An angel of the lord? I guess so....*hops on to a clearly not christian adventure*

Hermes: HIGH HO JUMBO! TO THE DOWNFALL OF THESE LOSERS! *elephant trumpets epically*

Apollo: *shooting at random guards and sees Gaius* Oh hello there!

Gaius: *mouth agape seeing the true identity of apollo*.....you're....you're really a-

Apollo: Apollo, nice to meet you.

Gaius: *blushes* ....so ugh...you're not going to smite me for almost selling into sla-*gets picked up* oh.

Apollo: No. I think I'll keep you.

Gaius: ....oh ok. *Has completely submits to this* ...*thinks* {Holyshit this sexy greek god got me questioning my loyalty to Rome!......I NO LONGER DESIRE ROME.} Take me oh glorious one.

Apollo: yey! New boyfriend!

Dionysus: *desperately tries to find water to turn into wine and finds several amphoras, touches them and it turns into his wine, chugs* AHHH....much better....*turns to see several other captured Christians* ......oh hi would you like some?

The christians: *stare in awe as basically an ethically different man with long dark hair just turned water into wine*

Dionysus:....we can set you guys free if you want.

The Christians: A HAIL OUR LORD AND SAVOR!

Dionysus: d'aaawww guys stahp. *Blushes*

*later after leaving Rome*

Zeus: .......you did what to the Romans?

Dionysus: we taught them a valuable lesson.

Apollo: Plus we have brought friends!

Giaus: *enjoying his new greek lifestyle*

Hermes: *to the christian runner* ok, so this season, the Egyptian teams has the best runners from all of Africa, but don't worry buddy. *Pats his back* I believe in you.

The Christian Runner: *sheds a tear* thank you great angel.

Hermes: *still has no idea what an angel is*

*on Delphi*

Dionysus: -and everyone is entitled to free love and respect, acceptance is the key to a happy life and wine is best drink. *The Christians cheer still convinced dionysus is jesus*

WHEN THE SKIES

ehgejg godbless mama mv

Pocket full of Posies - lucky one/monster inspo!! exo are test subjects escaping from the facility they’re kept in and they know that subject #88 is the most dangerous one among them. (written by amazing convexxed, sadly it’s drafted now because she’s on hiatus ;; we can only hope she’ll come back soon)

Real Human - written by our Admin R ♥ scientist/lab engineer!jongin, super-human!kyungsoo. Jongin modifies subject #12 in his lab and he can’t help but gets quickly attracted to his creation’s charm ;~;

Hearts Don’t Only Beat - by sunnycup soo it’s sO GREAT k like jongin teleports into a stranger’s house in need of a decent suit for his job interview but turns out the house owner is none other than his employer who has superpowers too

Summer Rain - mama au + royalty!au + celebrity au. kyungsoo is a prince with superpowers and he somehow escapes to the human world where jongin, a celebrity in hiding from thirsty paparazzis, finds him and saves him (my favefavefaveee)

Kiss of Bliss - war au, Jongin was one of the soldiers who were chosen to fight for their kind due to his unique ability of teleportation and kyungsoo with a heavy heart waits for him to come back home

(Hush,) Don’t Speak - Kyungsoo has lived alone for ten years on the run and avoiding people, all because he awakened his power and nowhere is safe for people like him

Celestial Silver - mob leader kyungsoo has a soft spot for a ballerino jongin who has an ability to teleport which makes him vulnerable and kyungsoo wants to protect him

Shake My Heart - au where the power of one transfers to their soulmate

i fear, i fear, ‘twill prove a giddy world - ghafkd i mean i should not spoil anything but admin y says this gave her goosebumps w how intense this is and i trust her and her impeccale taste

the beautiful us - artist!au so jongin is a comic artist working on his own story about characters - with superpowers ;)

Stuck in a wall - school au, poor jongin stucks in there while teleporting and kyungsoo helps him

Perfumeries - i just found out it’s written by paradisist and I’m quaking why haven’t I read this before!!

Every Time I Fall - both went on a mission but kyungsoo gets injured heavily and jongin has limited time to save him (cries the ending is fuNNY)

overexert - this is kadi but also like jonginxeveryone. they’re are surrounded by the corrupted robots, which are going to capture their escape. but jongin is their key to freedom

chaptered/long like black magic:

Reapers - dystopian au + monster mv inspired, this comes with various pairings (not kaisoo centric)

Running Home - by kaisoochateau, jongin’s prioritiy in life is to train hard to get accepted to a prestigious uni but one day he discovers he has got a superpower he can’t control and his life changes 180 degrees

retrograde motion - 50k man… mama powers get switched

forbidden fate - we put this in the fantasy au as req as well i think? there’s like 20 chapters and it’s complete yey

hunted because of who we are - this is ot12 fic and kinda like a dystopian au i think a bit like xmen lol it’s ongoing as welllllll got 5 chaps so far

pythia - ongoing still 6 chaps, school au with powers

i would move mountains - by indi!! complete with 18 chaps, kyungsoo doesn’t remember a thing and keeps on living his simple life in village until one day he saves a stranger who claims they know each other

Gem of Earth - binch 40k+ like sign me tf up!!!! it’s ongoing (currently at 5 chaps) this fantasy story with action the mama elements sounds fun i can’t wait to read this!!

- Admin J & I

Q: do we know anything abt zodiac / its authors / will they update?

A: the authors once said they would probably let all exo die in the last chap or something along those lines (don’t take this seriously) but in all honesty, I don’t think it’ll ever be finished, considering it’s taken down and neither of the authors want to talk about it….but if you must: http://inkin-asks.tumblr.com/ask if you feel brave enough

(rip zodiac 2012-2017 you’ll be missed)

I AM PROUD OF ONE (1) THING SO FAR THIS YEAR!!

I creeped my fool of a Radio Drama Teacher out with our Assignment.

So here's what happened:

I am on a 3 year Uni course that I am getting into debt for with a tuition loan and a maintenance loan from the government because University Is Expensive Shtick.

And I am on a Creative Writing course so I can figure out how to write scripts and stories.

Once a year they bring in a teacher for the Radio Play Semester during Year 2.

And... Ooooooh Boy. This Teacher Doesn't Teach Us Well. I ain't gunna complain to the University about him because he's taught elsewhere before coming to us, so his method probably works over there and just not here, but idk, idc, I just wanted A Good Grade. But he was basically just doing these five things:

1) Repeating what he had said during the first 10 minutes of the lesson on loop for our entire three hour lesson, which was meant to be one-hour-lecture, two-hour-workshop.

2) He gave us work to do (YEY!!) But then never actually used it during the next lesson (F***!) And would suddenly change that lesson's topic without warning (???)

3) Of The Six Lessons, Six Weeks, before our First Assignment, only Two were about the first Assignment... Which was a Script Proposal, a blend of Speaking and Writing. The first Lesson was The Second Lesson (on week 2), the second was The Week Before It Was Due (week 4), which was also a week before Reading Week. The day of the presentation, Everyone had formatted their text proposal differently, because none of us had a proper example to pull from. The Entire Proposal, because none of us knew how to then speak our proposal either, was then A Nightmare.

4) We were promised Regular Guest Speakers!!! We never got that.

Literally, our "initial guest speaker" was our Only guest speaker. We were promised multiple so we would know how the industry worked. We received neither the speaker, nor the information.

5) Repeat the third problem, but with our final "first drafts" of our scripts. He only gave is two lessons for workshops the two weeks before the deadline, but demanded we bring any background music or sound effects we needed. I didn't go to those lessons and instead had my friends read my script because I knew this Teacher wouldn't do those workshops. I was Right.

So, yeah. All of my teachers had been wonderfully pleasant and helpful but for this one piece of work. This guy resulted in me having a breakdown, scrapping my initial version of my script and rewriting all 5000-6000 words over two days without sleep, without deleting or rewriting jack, because I wanted this incompetent jackass to feel the weight of his sins...

BURN IN A PIT, MR WHOEVER-THE-HECK YOU WERE! I AIN'T GUNNA REMEMBER YOUR NAME, BUT I'M DEFINITELY REMEMBERING YOUR FACE SO I KNOW WHO THE HECK TO BOYCOTT IF YOU APPEAR A SECOND TIME!

(Also in Grade terms, 62 is a B-grade.)

#rant #sorry for the rant #this teacher is an insult to monkeys everywhere.#how the hell did we get this guy for a teacher?#ask me if you want a copy of my script #it isn't the best acript I've written but that teacher os gunna get all the respect i have for him formed in that script.

Love and Let Love (Part 1)

Love and Let Love Masterlist

Summary: Steve Rogers AU. You discovered that your boyfriend, Derek (OC), cheated on you with your best friend, Aleesha (OC). You were devastated, helpless and dejected, but then you met Steve and then suddenly everything fell into place.

Pairing: Steve x Reader

PART 1

Warning/s: Angst, Break-up, Betrayal, Implicit sex, Eventual fluff (?)

A/N: This is my first series (I only did two one-shots) and second fanfic of the year!! Yey. 2 out of 5 (or 7) yo! This part is just an introduction to the series so there are only few Steve x Reader moment, but of course you’ll be getting more as the series progresses. In the middle of writing the fic, I actually considered Bucky as the cheating boyfriend but, I can’t see Bucky as the type that cheats. I have started with the drafts for the next part but if you have suggestions/ things that you want to see in the next parts feel free to tell me! (I’ll try to consider it) But for now, I hope you’ll enjoy!

Number of Words: 1,258

“Any additional order, Ma’am?” the cashier asks.

“I think that’s all.”

The cashier repeats your orders – two pieces of cheese burgers, the other one with extra cheese. Derek, your boyfriend loves cheese so much, that sometimes you would joke about him loving cheese more than you, but since, it’s your anniversary, of course you’ll give him what he loves (aside from you).

After picking up your orders neatly placed in a paper bag, you exit the fast food chain and you start walking towards your apartment. Maybe because you are too excited to go home that you don’t notice your wallet drop. Fortunately, a blue-eyed blonde man was kind enough to give your wallet back.

“Be careful next time. This isn’t really a safe place to drop your wallets.” He smiled and you smile back.

“Thanks” You reach for your wallet and decided to put it inside the paper bag to avoid the incident from happening again.

On your way home, you reminisce the moments you had with Derek this past seven years. We’ve been through a lot, you thought. Remembering all your precious memories made you feel giddy. Your relationship was definitely not perfect but you were happy.

Once, during your first year of being together, you discovered that he was cheating on you with some girl at work. The two of you were young at that time, and you didn’t talk with each other for a month or so, but the end of the day, you forgave and forgot.

That’s what love is, right? Choosing to be together, despite of what happened. Now, you’re at that point in your relationship, where eating snacks and eating Netflix is your favorite way of celebrating your anniversary.

But Derek had other plans for your anniversary.

The take-out bag that you were carrying a while ago is now on the ground, as you reach for your keys inside your right pocket. After inserting the key and turning the door knob, you realize that the door was already unlocked. You immediately pick up the paper bag and place the keys inside your pocket and slowly went inside the apartment.

“Derek? Honey, are you there? I’m ho-”

You hear thrashing sounds from the direction of your bed room. By instinct, you immediately walk into the kitchen and reach for the kitchen knife. Then you slowly and quietly proceed to your bedroom. As you come closer to the room, sounds are becoming more audible – and less threatening.

Two steps forward. You hear groaning. A few steps more. You hear moaning. There were a few instances where you can hear loving whispers. You are now more frightened about the fact that the voices you hear aren’t from thieves but from two of the most of important people in your life. Each step you take as you come closer to your room, you wish that you’re just mishearing things and that thieves are really inside you’re room.

They were criminals, alright – guilty of breaking your heart.

Quietly, you step into the half-open door of your bedroom. You saw your boyfriend and your best friend making love with each other – their bodies rhythmically dancing as one. Apparently, their love is too intense that they don’t even notice you standing by the door.

Should you run away? Shout? Hide?

Neither.

You just step closer to them - one step, another one and then another one.

At each step, you wish that everything happening in front of you is all but a bad dream. But it wasn’t. Each step turned out to be a step towards reality. It was real - too real that your body started freezing up. This is real. A tear fell from your eyes.

THUD!

The sound of the knife falling from your hands made them stop. Derek looked at the direction of the sound; it took him a few seconds to realize that you were standing right there.

“Shit!” He immediately tries to stand up.

Aleesha, irritated by Derek’s sudden movement, gazed towards your direction, too.

“What is i—Y/N? This is not wha--”

She is now conscious of her naked body and they are frantically picking up their clothes while trying to explain the situation.

“This isn’t what you think!”

“You’re mistaken!”

“Shit!”

You hear a lot of shouting from their direction, but you’re stuck. You’re frozen.

But then, you feel a sudden boost of strength flowing through your legs. You seized that moment. With the adrenaline kicking in, you start running - towards the bed room door, through the kitchen and then out of the apartment.

You are running away - from everyone, from everything. You are sprinting fast with the hopes that your feet will take you into another world, into another dimension that will take you away from the pain that you are feeling right now.

The tears are clouding your sight and you can’t even see where you were going. You just turn left and then right, straight and then around. You were bumping people along the way. Some would even shout at you, and some didn’t even care.

Then you bumped into a particular man – the same man that gave you back your wallet a while ago. You apologized and when he was about to tell you something, he stopped and just stared at you. Worry slowly making its way across his face.

You look away, but you suddenly feel his hands grabbing your wrist.

“Are you okay?”

His voice was calm, but you can tell that he is concerned.

“I’m – I’m sorry.” You pulled your hand away from his and you started running again – his azure eyes still gazing upon you.

A few minutes after your encounter with the blonde man, you stop running, and you find yourself in the middle of a park. Panting, you stride to the nearest bench just below the street light and you sit there.

You curl your body up and hug your legs, while covering your face between your knees. The weight of what just happened slowly donning on you.

Derek and Aleesha.

Your boyfriend and your bestfriend.

Two of the people you cherish.

Two of the people you care about.

Two of the people you love.

They cheated on you.

You feel devastated. You cry. You feel hopeless. You bawl your eyes out. You feel emotionally strained. The tears won’t stop. You feel despondent.

You feel empty.

You feel hollow.

The heavens might’ve pitied you, because the sky started to cry too.

While you are crying at the bench by the street lamp, the blonde man you bumped into half an hour ago, is still thinking about you. He can’t seem to forget what your face looked like. In your eyes, he saw despair, emptiness and pain. He wants to comfort you, but he doesn’t know where you are. As he gaze at the streets through the window of the fast food chain, with the half-eaten burger on the table, raindrops started to fall.

Without even thinking, he grabs his umbrella and started running.

He doesn’t know where you are, but he feels that wherever you are, it’s the place that he should be too. He tries to recall the direction that you took a few minutes ago, and blindly started to run in that path. He is running. He turns left and then right – through the sea of people and through the pouring rain.

He wants to find you.

He needs to find you.

He arrives at the park, and he looks around.

He found you.

Rawr Tigers! (1.9.10)

You'd just know how terrible of a blogger I am when I usually write/post later than I should. And this time around I haven't posted anything of the past year's important events and that includes photos. Like our bad experience on Christmas Day at Don Henrico's who served us food that was terrible because it tasted like it has been standing there for a long time already and in contrast, my wonderful first time to eat at Bubba Gump on my birthday with a special guy. I didn't blog both (well I did the birthday blog but I am selfish to keep it on the drafts) because i'm freakingly lazy inspite of having 2 weeks of holiday. Yes. 2 weeks of doing nothing.

Enough about me let's round up atleast 10 things of what we had last year:

1. The deaths of a lot of highly celebrated people locally and abroad, the one most shocking for me is Brittany Murphy and the other, who I just found out was a real person, Les Paul. I always thought it was just a fancy name for a guitar. (sorry!!) 2. Kanye's uncalled for comment on Taylor Swift 3. Tiger's tigresses 4. Finally, the cancellation of Jon and Kate Plus 8 5. The win of Efren Peñaflorida on the CNN award earning praises from a whole lot of people and was an inspiration too. I used to believe in the guy but when I learned of his plan to court Angel Locsin I was like, 'oh ooookkaaaay' 6. Manny Pacquiao's win plus issues with Krista and Mayweather. 7. Noynoy's candidacy 8. Maguindanao murders 9. Avatar becoming the second top grossing movie of all time next to, yes, Titanic which was both from the same director. 10. Mother Nature striking back at us with all her storms here and abroad.

After Ox, here comes the Tigers (that's me yey!) and being my year I plan to:

1. Finally resign and find a much more apt paying job (IT's in this country are badly payed I tell you) 2. Start a novel (my wish since highschool) 3. Save up for a trip to Osaka or even just in Vigan (farfetched but I'm hoping to) 4. Apply for a broadband (they should make me a reality show out of it with all my experience) 5. Lose weight (cholesterol is good this time but I'm almost there)

I am though, quite ready of not being able to fulfill all my plans just like in the past year but hey, atleast I have some. ^_^ Goodluck to all of us this year!

A WEEK WITHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA

January 14, 2018

Last night, I was completely not being myself, I was sad; I don’t even know what to do. I felt so tired of everything but I can’t do anything. I just want to sleep for a long time. I overthink A LOT. I suddenly thought what if I try to stay away from social media for one day. What would happen? At first, syempre feeling ko parang no, I’m not gonna do it. But then today, as I woke up, I thought why not try it for a week. I wanted to challenge myself kasi I realized na halos 80% of my day, I spend it looking through my phone, scrolling thru facebook, twitter, check updates from my friends, tweets ridiculous stuff to get everyone’s attention, like I needed a validation from everyone else. Getting those likes or hearts makes me happy, helped me quite boost my confidence pero at the end of the day I always ask myself masaya ba talaga ako? I also tweeted last night na “sobrang mapanlinlang ng social media kasi akala ng mga tao ang saya saya ng buhay mo but in real life hindi ka naman talaga masaya” KASI HINDI NAMAN TALAGA. And I’m tired of faking happiness, I don’t know. Some people would probably think na nagpapapansin lang ako and I don’t fucking care so quits lang.

Anyways, around 12PM I started deleting Facebook, Messenger and later on Twitter. I logged out my main account on Instagram but I have another account which is where I post daily pics for my 365 days thing challenge AND I CAN’T MISS POSTING so yun lang yung social media app ko right now. I don’t consider youtube as a social media since you aren’t actually interacting with people unless you’re a youtuber or whatever, also di naman ako masyado nanunuod sa youtube. So basically I can’t do anything with my phone, Spotify and Photography apps lang meron ako. I SERIOUSLY DON’T WHAT THE FUCK TO DO. No one’s texting me rin so okay, naglaba ako saka inayos ko drawer ko, I’m also re-reading yung book ni Alex Gonzaga na “Dear Alex, Break na kami. Paano?! Love, Catherine” I don’t know kung itutuloy ko pa hahaha omg.

Fast forward to evening, nag-paload na ako kasi di ko na kayang walang kausap. You know, isolating yourself from social media makes you feel more alone. No notifications, no messages, no anything. Napaisip tuloy ako kagabi what if di ako nag-post sa ig story ko na I’m doing this, would people really care? Would people start worrying about me? Would they actually notice that I was gone? Okay enough. Maaga ako natulog kasi wala narin talaga ako magawa.

DAY 1 – January 15, 2018

Goodmorning! Is it? Nasanay akong ino-on yung wifi ko first thing in the morning and waiting for notifs but then I remembered I deleted my apps and went straight to office bcs OJT. And sa office, di naman ako masyado nahirapan kasi I was thinking of doing something else. Kasi syempre since I promised myself not to access any of my social media accounts, may mga ideas na pumapasok sa utak, like what should I do on this certain day or whatever. Right now, since hindi pa maayos yung wall ko sa kwarto naming I decided to plan a design for it and I’m actually enjoying this thing. Kanina rin tinry, I joined this challenge thing na pag-gawa ng User Interface for a Weather App na inemail sakin nung katrabaho ko dito sa OJT and so far, masaya naman. To be honest ang dami na naka-draft sa utak ko na gusto kong i-tweet but then okay next week nalang. HAHAHA. It’s only the second day pero hey I’m quite enjoying this. Being away from social world makes you feel alone for real like what I’ve said earlier, pero through this I realized na mas nagkakaron ako ng time for myself. Time for me to think about what I should do next, hindi lang basta mag-scroll sa fb and twitter and watch kung ano nangyayari sa buhay ng ibang tao. Spotify will be my company for the whole week, and kung walang music? Feeling ko mabibingi ako sa silence.

Many things happened to me today. VERY UNLUCKY OF ME. It is something sort of traumatizing and I will not say it here. Kahit di masyado naging maganda yung araw ko I made it quite productive by designing my wall. I printed a lot of aesthetic stuff I got from the internet, some of them were my postcards (BTS, Dean, Suspicious Partner) Hindi ko pa tapos tbh kasi I’m planning to include Kimi No Na Wa dun sa wall since it’s really something. I also included the album covers I made dun sa mga playlist na ginawa ko sa Spotify. I’ll be putting the links or pictures below. It is actually really nice na naisip kong gawin to (wall design) since wala naman akong ibang pwedeng gawin hahaha. Pero ayun nga, it’s nice to have something to stare at. Every time na nag-wall design ako tinititigan ko lang after and I feel happiness by staring at it. I don’t know, ang sarap lang talaga kasi titigan nung mga happy faces sa polaroids alam niyo yun. Yung memories it would suddenly all flashback to you.

DAY 2 – January 16. 2018

It’s Tuesday and it is supposed to be my rest day sa OJT pero I decided pumasok kasi gusto ko narin naman matapos to. I’m tired of waking up tapos pagpasok sa office wala rin masyadong gagawin, kasi wala rin namang maipagawa sakin. Feeling ko tuloy parang ang wala kong kwenta hahahaah dejk. Everything’s going well naman so far, medyo nasasanay na yung self ko na hindi masyadong hawak yung phone ko unless mag-pplay lang ako ng music.Ay nga pala, forgot to tell you all na natutuwa akong gumawa ng playlist sa Spotify ang saya lang kasi talagang gumawa lalo na yung part na gagawa ako ng album cover for that playlist, I think this would become my hobby.

I just got home and I was alone earlier, di pumasok yung ibang mga kasama ko sa OJT huhu but it’s okay, saying din oras. Pero nagsayang lang din naman ako ng oras sa office kasi wala akong magawa. Since I can’t use social media kung ano ano na pumapasok sa isip ko na gawin. I wanted to read David Levithan’s novel book na “Every Day” kasi ang tagal ko na gusting basahin yun nung high school pero I didn’t when I had the chance. So ayun, pahirapan makahanap ng pdf online, luckily I found one hehe pati yung “Another Day”. And since gagawing film yung Every Day I hopeeee mabasa ko na siya before ko mapanuod haha. Bukod sa paghanap ng pdf ng mga books, I also read articles about sa mga black mirror episodes yung mga analysis nung mga episodes kasi I wanted to understand it more and read reviews. Pati yung meaning ng mga kanta ni Taylor Swift sa reputation album sinearch ko. Jusko I obviously got nothing else to do sa office lmao. Fast forward to uwian (yey) it’s raining outside and I felt the sadness, alone, sad, raining wow really nice di ba. When I got home, kumain muna ako syempre and naisip kong manuod ng horror movie, I watched “Happy Death Day” and it’s actually good. Di naman sya yung type ng horror na sobrang matatakot ka so sa mga di mahilig sa horror, pwede niyo naman panuorin, matutuwa kayo kasi may halong comedy and sort of romance naman yung movie. Although, quite disappointed with the ending, sa reason nung killer bat niya pinapatay ng paulit-ulit yung bida. Basta ayun, panuorin niyo nalang. After that, nakatulog na agad ako.

DAY 3 – January 17, 2018

It’s raining AGAIN. Actually, ambon lang naman and medyo hassle lang sa pag commute kasi basa. Hnggg. Ang aga ko na naman sa office, and feeling ko it’s one of the effects taking a break from social media kasi hindi nakakain yung oras ko ng pag-aayos sa pagpasok sa work. Walang distractions. And mapipilitan kang kumilos talaga kasi wala ka naman ibang gagawin lol. Today was like any other day sa office, nothing to do as of now huhu (give me something to do please)

As I got home, I spent my night watching Black Mirror. Lol. Pinanuod ko yung Shut Up and Dance, San Junipero and Hang the DJ, nasimulan ko rin naman yung Men Against Fire pero di ko natapos inantok na ako. Out of all episodes, yung Hang the DJ yung pinakagusto ko, naiyak nga ako eh wala namang kaiyak iyak talaga ng bongga pero na-attach ako masyado dun sa episode na alam mo yun nilabanan nila yung system kasi they both believe na sila yung perfect match ayun la lang, pero sa ending yun pala yung totoong sila, yung Amy and Frank is just virtual lol pero anyways, at least sila yung nag-end up together in real life (hopefully). Honestly, I also spent my time reading articles and reviews about Black Mirror kanina sa office. I got seriously nothing else to do, nag-check ako ng email ko na ginagamit ko sa fb and found some people messaging me pero all I can was “*Name* has sent you a message” and kailangan kong buksan messenger to read the message kaso I have to stick with my experiment.

DAY 4 – January 18, 2018

Nothing quite special about this day, this is like reliving my day over and over again. Lol. Oh wait, I drank 3 cups of coffee today and I felt like my heart’s going to burst anytime. I realized na wala na talagang epekto kape sakin, after ko kumain when I got home nanuod lang ako saglit ng Black Mirror (again) and I fell asleep agad, ramdam ko yung pagod kahit wala naman ako masyadong ginawa today. Also, I waited for almost an hour sa terminal jusko. Yun lang haha boring no? Gusto ko na bumalik sa social media not because I miss it (Well, sort of) pero kasi yung ka-group ko sa thesis need makausap haha pero nakiusap nalang ako sa kaklase ko to chat him haha.

DAY 5 – January 19, 2018

Today, akala ko malalate na ako ng bongga kasi it’s Friday and ang hirap sumakay because punuan sa bus haisxt. I can’t even help my officemate sa ginagawa niya although sabi eh tulong kami so ayun I really got nothing else to do, kahit gusto kong simulant yung docu nung UI ng Preventive Maintenance (project dito sa office) di parin masimulan kasi di pa approved yung design huhu. Pansin niyo bang paikli ng paikli yung mga kwento ko per day? Kasi paulit-ulit lang naman hahaha. Di naman din ako naging ganun ka productive lol kahit yung plano kong magbasa ng libro di ko rin naman nagawa.

Okay I finally decided to bring back my social media by 12PM because of important matters and wala akong ibang contact sa ka-group ko except sa messenger lang talaga. Di ko na-accomplish yung 1 week but 5 days was long enough to prove some things sa akin. It was fun though.

FINAL THOUGHTS

TRY. IT. Especially if you are addicted to social media. You need to take a break from it, girl. For the past days wala akong idea about what’s happening with everyone’s lives pero as days passed, hindi naman sa walang pake pero di ko na masyadong iniisip kung ano yung nangyayari sa buhay ng ibang tao. One thing I realized is that, I really spend my time scrolling thru my feed and comparing myself to others na parang why am I not like them, why am I not as creative as them, nakaka-baba ng self-esteem indeed. As I said earlier, I read few articles about people who tried this “Social Media detox” some of them just found an alternative way of distracting themselves with their phones, some of them even said na nagbago yung perspective nila sa social media and it made them happy to learn some things. And for me, I’d go with second one, it was hard but it was fun trying to fill this void within you, once you’re away from social media you began to observe people around you (in real life) and ma-aamaze ka nalang and ma-sasad at some point kasi halos lahat ng tao eh nakatutok sa phones nila, most people don’t socialize or communicate with others narin. Sobrang laki na talaga ng impact ng social media sa buhay ng mga tao, actually based palang sa pinopost natin dapat di ka lang nagpopost basta basta eh, most of us post to gain likes, attention, recognition, the satisfying feeling na you’re beautiful and whatever. I know most of you understand that feeling, and we actually love that feeling. But the thing is, di na totoo yung ibang pinopost natin sa social media. Akala ng mga tao, ang saya saya ng buhay natin but in real life hindi naman. Why? Because nag-base sila sa posts natin sa social media. And if we tried to express ourselves, our frustrations, anxieties, about our depression a lot of people would still say “Ano na namang ka-dramahan yan?” and invalidates your feelings kasi nasa utak na nila na you’re a happy person, you are not that kind of person na malungkot, which is sad, which makes most of us trying to be real have anxieties and all. That’s shitty isn’t it? Imbes na icomfort natin yung tao, ginagago pa natin. Sana maging sensitive tayo about it. Omg wait di ko alam if what I’m saying is still related to what I want to really say. Haha. Anyway, nabasa ko lang din kasi sa isang article na one of the factors kaya tayo nagkaka-anxiety is because of social media and I actually agreed to that. The past days, I wasn’t really that sad, I believe na-lessen yung pag-ooverthink ko, kasi wala akong ibang iniisip kung hindi pano ko ma-eentertain yung sarili ko, how will I be productive, and start to think about what would happen to me in the future, yung mga ganung bagay. You start to think about yourself, about how you would impress yourself and not other people. I guess that’s it. It was a really fun thing to do.
