She's 78years old, white haired with a fluffy short hair cut.  She does look like any old people her age. However, not that old compared to people who had hard lives.  She on the other hand, had it good in her earlier years.  She was, in fact, a daughter of an elite family.  A daughter of an elite filipino and a mestiza, a term coined to women who have a foreign blood, and were most likely regarded as the good looking bunch among the locals.  A turn of events highlighted at the point where their lawyer somehow stole her family's mana, or assets,  meant to be passed on to the kids when the man of the house dies.  This forced her to live like any ordinary kid.

So going to Palawan, I had a hunch that most probably we will be crashing on to some foreign tourists, and most likely there will arise a need to strike up a conversation with them.  My thought was: I could handle it, I mean I did have some flawless conversation with a couple of tourists during my Indochina trip, surely I can do that again in Palawan.

So feeling confident, I figured it should be fine.

Why am I Talking to Myself?

Just few minutes ago, I was ever so casually walking  towards the kitchen, like I usually do when I go anywhere inside the house.

And then suddenly...

I said...

"We are gonna go prepare...", and right off the bat, felt a tsunami of question marks.  


"Why am I talking to myself?" 

and moreso, why did I use the word "we" instead of "I"??!!

What is going on here?

Painting Flowers over Flaws.

However academically endowed I am, I unabashingly admit to say that I was really stupid.  BIG TIME.  And just to give you a sneak peek of the severity, my ex in our getting-to-know stage described how their house looks like.  And I would start to imagine it but everything in cloudy mode here, whatever flaws I would put flowers.  I would romanticize everything.  When he told me how he looked like, I would push back those bad descriptions and would draw in a more appealing one.

How sick is that?!

And when I would see things in person, my brain would scream.

So it's true!  What I was told was really true!  Not the one in my mind...

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yes. We just had our FIRST EVAH Zombie run.  And have you seen many video clips of that in America on Youtube?  I have seen a lot of them.  Those vids made me want to join the zombie havoc run that was held in our city, Davao!  For some reason, I have been seeing zombie run as ads in some random vids on Youtube.

Is this becoming a hype already?  I don't know.

If you haven't seen any vids of it, then you better check this video out.


I know. Total rad..

The obstacle was just like that in the military.

The zombies? Scary.

5 Things You Shouldn't Dare Miss Out in Palawan.

1. Go see the Underground River.  You'll see that there's a whole new world as you get inside that seemingly measly  mouth of the cave.  Imagination would make you see rock formations of the last supper, the naked lady, carrots, mushrooms, horses and many more.  Guides would point out where the Batman and Robin hideout is.  And you'll discover why it's important to close your mouth while all throughout the trip.
