In Between

disclaimer:  i cannot seem to get myself together.  i've been away from home for almost a week and my head is still in safe mode or something.  my thoughts are just completely out of whack and it may take a while before i reboot.  so please bear with all the unnecessary bullshit, grammatical errors and insane language. a lot of friends have been asking me how things are over here.  well...contrary to what people say (and by 'people', i meant my agency), its not as easy as they make it out to be. but i am getting ahead of myself. first things first. before i arrived in auckland, i had to endure a long and bitter flight from manila.  since there is no such thing as a direct flight, my itinerary said that i have a 4-hour layover in Singapore.  this is fine.  my ticket also included meals and 40kg worth of check-in luggage.  i carried a backpack and a sling bag for my carry-on with the latter starting to (horribly) disintegrate a...

i've been scribbling little notes every day about how i feel or what i truthfully think about certain things (you know how sometimes you say yes or no but what you really mean is " GO. FUCK. YOURSELF. ") because i feel it will help me release a lot of the negative crap lingering inside me. it's actually kind of working. anyway, i hope i can make sense of it all soon. saw my friend this week too, tuesday night. had this long (but bitin !) chat and it was just super duper nice. i miss you ubbie! i was able to try out a new resto this week. Mr Jones at Greenbelt 5. they have this kind of diner-ish atmosphere complete with red booths and all that jazz. every time i hear the name of this place, i get LSS on some Aqua song si kuya busy cutesy salt and pepper shakers food was pretty tasty. i tried the tapa as recommended by my sister. it wasn't exactly "to die for" as some people claim, but it wasn't so bad (Tsokonut i think tastes bet...
