ctto: Ian Machitar


 CURRENTLY... 

Reading

Stuck with Paper Towns. Have to put my reading on hold cause I'm in a month long vacation and I don't feel like doing anything aside from doing nothing--haha! 

Writing

My second 'The Sunday currently post'

Listening

dogs barking, chicken cuckling ft Ian's Britney Playlist 

Thinking

.Where to go, what to eat and what to do next..yay! Iloilo is such a lovely city and I feel like my month long vacation still isn't enough to do all 'the must'. I am so excited for the next adventure!

Smelling

Smeeling the trees and fresh air..ahhh, this is life. 

Wishing

The boyfriend is here too, so we could celebrate UbeKeso day together. Sepanx! :(

Hoping

To have more classes so will have enough money for our upcoming adventure. Yay!

Wearing

Time check: 6:30 and I am still in my PJs. Oh yes--too lazy to take a bath haha!


Loving

How laid-back, blissful and simple life is here. 

Wanting

A road trip again! 

Needing

A good sleep. Actually I'm getting a lot lately but I want more! As in more!

Feeling

Relaxed. 

Have a nice evening people. See you Sunday.

SuperMai needs to be Mai once in a while




Most days I'm superwoman but sometimes even my cape needs dry cleaning, my super power needs a rest and me--to take a load off. Keep calm and forget that 'Superwoman to do list'. Apparently, superheroes have bad days too, they get tired, they need a break and yes--they're allowed to vent their emotions and frustrations just like what you guys normally do. Yes they do. We do. I do. Even Superman has to be Clark Kent sometimes as SuperMai needs to be Mai (whenever I feel like it?). You should understand that I am also vulnerable and weak--there are times that I feel weak to even take my ass out of bed, brush my teeth and take a brisk walk. I also get pissed off at everyone and everything around me for no reasons at times. I do have mood swings too. More often than seldom, there are days that I don't feel like flying anywhere, saving life and even giving a hoot about what the f*ck is going on. Like the hell I care. I don't give a d*mn (pardon my french).

The thing is, I am actually not what you and I  think I am. I am no superwoman. I am no superMai. I am just a girl, lying in her bed asking for a good sleep. I am a contradiction of myself and it is effin confusing. Sometimes I wonder if which of me is my true self. Crazy! So just in case you're  and I am forgetting about the 'real me' being human, well let me remind you, I am and I do have needs, dreams, problems and a life of my own to deal with. Forget saving the world! I am giving myself permission to have an off  and be me for now. Forget the cape, the superpower, the to do list. Forget the responsibility, the pressure to do them all and the belief  I could. Forget the weight of the world, feel free, be carefree and break away. Guess I need to take the pressure off me to perform at 'super' once in a while because this is what I need to survive--and yes to stay sane.

Soundtrack to Mai-life


Raindrops keep falling on my head
BJ Thomas

Raindrops keep falling on my head
Just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,
Nothing seems to fit.
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling...

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said, I didn't like the way, he got things done.
Sleeping on the job.
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling...

But there's one thing, I know:
The blues, they send to meet me won't defeat me,
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.

Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red,
Crying's not for me.
And, I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining,
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me!

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 01

So I just promised to update this so neglected blog of mine and with that I mean, now. Oh, well hurrah! Reading YayaDub's blog really made me miss writing so I guess yeah, this is it and hoping it will stay this way for good.  

Ok, here we go. Like what I've said, I have been reading Yaya's blog since last night. I have been trying to do it for quite sometime now, or should I say since she became a constant topic both all over the cyber and real world. However, can't view the blog, thought there was something wrong with it cause the blog link on her IG bio does not seem to work. Finally last night when I tried again, it worked and that's merely the reason why I am here, kickin' my lazy *ss off to write! I call that 'The Aldub Effect', HAHA. I love them so much (who doesn't anyway?) that I have to stalk them on twitter, facebook, instagram, youtube, blogs and everything. And by stalking, I mean digging for info. *malala na toh* Lols! Never been a fan of a loveteam this much and  sorry to say, but I really don't watch much of my country's local 'serye' (drama series) cause I find them really annoying and so predictable. But Eatbulaga's so called 'kalyeserye' is a breath of fresh air. Maybe because it's funny and light and Jose, Wally and Paolo's humor never cease to amaze me. Not to mention Aldub's 'kilig feels' got me like, ohmygee-I-wanna-fallinlove-again *sorry boyfriend* haha. Oh well, going back to Yaya's blog- while reading, I came across  this post, which is called 'THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY'. It was a link up made by siddathornton and like Yaya I've also thought of joining the bandwagon because.. why not? Thought it is a good start for me to update my blog, do some real writings and have my mind off from worrying and over thinking stuff that I don't know how to handle anymore *sigh*. And besides it so happens that today is Sunday so here it is, my very first and hopefully not the last Sunday Currently post. :)





 CURRENTLY... 

Reading

Paper Towns by John Green. The story made me feel like I am living a teenage dream haha. Read a review that said the movie is thematically the same as the book, despite its many changes, wonder what changes are those.. I haven't seen the movie yet cause I am still waiting for a good copy on torrent, lols. The Fault in Our Stars got me drowned into my own pool of tears while watching it so I am quite excited how Paper Towns (movie) will get me like while watching and after I watched it. And besides I am looking forward how Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff will do justice to their characters as Margo and Quentin. Nevertheless, I love Jonh Green as much as I love Nicholas Sparks. Seriously, these two have something in common- they both write about desperate, hopeless, forbidden love and they are really good at making me cry.

Writing

My very first *and hopefully not the last* The Sunday Currently entry

Listening

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough by Charice. This is one of my favorite songs, it was originally sung by Patty Smyth and Don Henley but I must admit I am loving Charice's rendition of this song more, I just love how intense yet calm her voice sounded like here. So heartfelt and  relaxing that it can even put me to sleep. 

Thinking

You gotta be kidding me? I actually am writing this so I can somehow get my mind off thinking but then since you're asking me, fine. I am currently thinking how to spend the day without my mind thinking of a millions things. There are so many random thoughts running through my head and I don't even know to get rid of them. I feel like they'll explode anytime soon so- next.

Smelling

Indescribable smells of nuts, nips and raisins that I am munching right now. (Pasalubong the boyfriend gave me last night)

Wishing

For a miracle? Hmm, a much deserve vacation soon.

Hoping

Get to spend and enjoy my whole hard earned money on me, myself and I. No rent, bills, debts and tuitions to pay. How cool is that? One day. I hope.

Wearing

Blue tank top and a pink sporty short-shorts. My typical pambahay fave.

Loving

My lappy, my Mixed nuts/nips/raisins snack and my Spotify playlist. Keeping me company while waiting for my next class.

Wanting

To avail The Old Spaghetti House's unli pasta and pizza promo now. As in right now. Cravingsss!

Needing
Mai is badly in need of an escape plan. A great and effective one.

Feeling

Feel like I am running out of steam. I am Sleepy and stressed and burnt out and exhausted and tired. But the good thing is I am trying to fight these nega feels by entertaining positive and happy thoughts. I can do it!

Have a happy weekend y'all! I miss you. See you Sunday. 

xoxo Mai

YayaDub: Aspire to Inspire

Reading YayaDub's, I mean Maine's blog made me miss blogging. Reminds me of how a tumblr/blogger freak I was. It's been a while since the last time I've written something about 'Maisocalled-life'..oh well, what excuse do I have this time? I guess nothing but my slothfulness. *insert smirk here* 

I might update soon..hopefully. 

My illustration of YayaDub's outfit at Bulaga Pa More wild card edition yesterday. Obviously, I'm fan. :)


For now let me share Maine Mendoza aka YayaDub's blog to you guys. Just incase you don't know her *but I doubt it*. She's really pretty, funny and witty. I love her and yes, the whole Kalyeserye gang! They've been my stress reliever these days and yeah, my daily source of kilig. LoLs! You might wanna check her blog, watch her dubsmash videos and feel the hype!
