Kuya Andrew, Ria, Winston, and Blogie A few weeks ago, I blogged my Christmas Wishlist which included this... Last Monday, I received an SMS from the owners of Lachi's, Mike and Melvin Aviles, inviting me and three of my friends to eat dinner there. So last night, Kuya Andrew, Blogie, Winston, and I trooped over to Lachi's. It was Winston and Blogie's first time there, while Kuya and I have been there countless times. First, we all had our main course... Grilled Porkchop, Unforgettable Pork Ribs, Stuffed Chicken, Lechon Kawali, Laing Then, we enjoyed these and more... New York Style Cheesecake with Blueberry and Cherry Topping Strawberry Shortcake Creme Brulee Cake Everything was YUMMMMYYYYY!!! Thanks to Mike and Melvin Aviles for granting one of my wishes. Inggit kayo? Visit Lachi's along Ruby Street, in Marfori Heights, Davao City.
Upcoming: The Usual Suspects Visit Lachi's
Today I received this SMS message: Hi. Somebody sent us your Christmas wish list. It's quite tall, but we hope to fulfill at least one item. You and three of your family members/friends are invited to a dinner at the newly renovated Lachi's, preferably on Tuesday. Thank you. That really woke me up from my sleepiness because Lachi's is like you know my FAVORITEST restaurant here in Davao City. The message was from Mike Aviles, one of the two proprietors of Lachi's. The other is Melvin, his twin brother. Every year, I receive a nice gift from them. This one, I decided to share with the other members of The Usual Suspects. I invited Kuya Andrew, Blogie, and Winston to come with me tomorrow to taste and enjoy the wonderful food served by Lachi's. Hopefully, we will enjoy the experience.
Is the Emo-ness Over?
I Emo Week (that sounds like a National Geoprahic Special, LOL!) over yet? Not quite. Things are better, I feel better. But the problems are here to stay. BOO YEAH! I will be a very long time before I will be totally ok. For now, let's just say I'm getting by, finding every little reason to smile, and ignoring the reasons to be sad. It was a crappy, stressful week filled with unexpected sadness. And it wasn't even that time of the month. It just so happened that epiphanies and realizations (not so good ones) hit me right and left, daily. Although the problems are still there, the pains, hurts, and wounds are still present, I am trying to make things work, to find reasons to smile and forge on. I am not yet ready to leave the past, forgive, forget, and move on. But I'm doing my best to get out of the hole I have dug. It's a long, long way to go before I can get to where I want to be, to where I should be. I have a lot of things to accomplish, a lot of problems to solve. And sometimes it stills overwhelms me.…
Philippine Making Love Davao Ria
WHAT?! This post's title is the search engine term that led a reader to this blog. Again... HUWHAT?! I don't know how to react, like really... HUWHAT?! Why the hell would somebody search for "philippine making love davao Ria." Take note that only Ria is capitalized. LOL!
Weak
Things are starting to unravel. And I am not as strong as people think. I am not as strong as I used to think. I am weak. Weak in character, weak in spirit. It's hard accepting the fact that I cannot handle things. Despite my determination, and all the planning, and working, I am not well. I made very bad decisions and I am paying for it. I am not even mourning the lost time, lost resources, lost opportunities. I am mourning the damaged relationships, and lost trust. And I know it's my fault. I have worked so hard, and yet led myself to destruction. I am slowly losing a lot of what I have worked hard for. But I have nobody to blame but myself. Despite past pains, this time... I know... I dug my own hole, and digging it deeper by the moment.
Pain and Bitterness
Been chatting with a friend. We've both been through some tough times. He asked me how come people say pain and bitterness goes away with time, while his pain and bitterness continues to deepen and intensify. Sad to say, I wasn't able to give him a direct answer. How can I when I am experiencing the same thing. Everyday, my pain and bitterness deepens and intensifies. Everyday, I think about it, and it angers me more. I hate that it is part of who I am and what I have been. But how can I forget? How can I forgive? How can I have peace when there are no apologies being offered? No admission of mistakes, of abandonment, of inflicted pain. How can you forgive somebody who does not ask for forgiveness, who does not even acknowledge she has hurt you? No, as I write this, I don't see forgiveness and reconciliation in the horizon. I don't, I simply don't. And no, I am not ashamed that I am angry still. I am in pain, and I am bitter. I know I have made mistakes, but it is not just I who have committed mistakes. There can never be forgiveness…
