To some people, 2017 was the best year so far for them. To some people, 2017 went a little too fast. To some people, 2017 was a tough and a challenging year for them.
For me, 2017 was really tough and challenging especially on the first half of the year. During the first month--- on the second week, I received an email regarding to a personal issue. This lasted for three months, and I had to resolve the issue between that time span. On the second month, the entire clan was down due to a family member rushed to the emergency room, and was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit. This family member stayed in the hospital for more than a month, and was on strict monitoring after. The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh month was a complete stressful months for me. I was not showing this to my family, and I just kept it to myself. On the other hand, summertime was quite a bit adventurous for me. I went to places that I have never been. On the Eighth month, a family member was rushed to the emergency room, had a mild stroke, and was later transferred to the Intensive Care Unit. That family member later stayed there for a week, and was transferred to a rehabilitation center. It was hard for me, and I was sad seeing that family member struggle with every single of his/her actions needing assistance at all times. The Ninth, and Tenth month for me was stable in real life, but kinda stressful and toxic regarding to social media. Now, for the Eleventh month, a plot twist to my year! I loved November so much. That sudden trip to the Philippines was the best that happened this year. I could not explain how happy I was went I went back home. Though, I was expecting to be back during the summertime, I still had the chance to go back at the end of the year. Honestly, I lost hope that I wouldn't be back in the Philippines this year, when July was about to end. November was the best because I got to reunite with my family back in the Philippines. We had occasional bondings, and of course, our nightly karaoke sessions. Even though we were there for a short period of time, I really really enjoyed that trip.
Usually when I get back here in America from the Philippines, I get sad or like have a separation anxiety with my cousins there in the Philippines, but this time, I was not sad at all. Well, to be honest, I cried after two days since I arrived from the Philippines. It just hit me that I am not in the Philippines anymore. The next day, I was excited to finally be back hopefully hopefully this 2018! On the Twelfth and last month of the year, we celebrated Christmas like every family does. This year, our celebration was nice and simple. I ate a lot of food! Lol.

I gathered a list of my favourites that I discovered from this year! Enjoy ;D

I listed some things that I learned from the year, 2017.


1. Imagine and Create
Alright. We probably have done this a million times now, but I tend to think what I'm about to do before actually creating it. I mostly used this during my communications class, so every time we would present a speech in front of everyone, I would normally envision it first before actually writing, and creating my visual aids. I also use this method for my Instagram. Lol.

2. Emotions
Sometimes I tend to be impulsive with my emotions, and sometimes I could not even tell that I am already affecting someone based on what I feel. I wanted to leave this in 2017 :D Okay. Anyway. Yeah. Hahahahaha

3. Don't let people bring you down
This year, there were people who tried to put me down. They made me feel down, and kept saying that I cannot do what I wanted to do--- that I will never be successful. I wanted to leave this story to myself, since it is quite a bit personal. All I can say is that I always need to be ahead of that person's plan. *evil laughs*

4. Don't trust anyone easily
This happens yearly to me. Every time I wanted to do something, people tend to steal my ideas. I always think that they would not take my idea, but people still do. Another thing is when you tell too much personal stories to someone, and people tend to share that specific story to other people and sometimes, they twist the story around. This is why I have trust issues. Lol.

5. Strong Personality
I learned that little things easily trigger or affect me at any point. This year, I learned to not get affected by little things easily. I should not always over-think and not care what other people say about me.

6. Blessed
That sudden trip to the Philippines at the end of this year was my "Plot Twist" before 2018. I was expecting to be back in the Philippines back in June, but I was busy at that time of the year. I lost hope, and thought that I wouldn't be able to go back to the Philippines this year.
When I was in the Philippines, I noticed that people living a simple life are so happy with it. Sometimes, I also wish to live in the Philippines again. I also hope that we are all contented with our lives, and that we are truly blessed.

7. Don't force people to stay in your life
People come and go. You meet new people, and at some unexpected point in your life, they would suddenly vanish from your life. Let them go, and keep going with your life. You do not deserve them.

---b o n u s---

8. What If's
Nasa point na ako ng life ko where: I don't really care what happens next. All I have to do is to keep trying on whatever opportunities that would come. I am not afraid if I fail. So that at the end of my life, I can look back at myself and say, "At least I tried. No regrets, at least I experienced it". I would not look back with regret and say, "I wish I tried to do it before. What if I tried it? What would have happened to me before?" It is not good to live life with "What If's", so if an opportunity comes to you, grab it! Good Luck!

P.S. I am not sure if this is my last blog post this 2017. But if it is, then I hope you had a great year and of course, have a great 2018 as well!

As the years go by, I noticed that I have been missing out with various Filipino Traditions that filipinos do during Christmas. Well not all five facts are not mainly me missing out. lol
Here are 5 Facts About Me During Christmas Season!

5 - CLASSROOM DECORATIONS
Okay. I think that most schools in the Philippines would host a 'Classroom Decorating Contest' before their Christmas Parties. I know you know what I am talking about. Alright. In our school, even first graders get to decorate their classrooms with various Christmas decorations. Through the years, our class have not won anything yet from this contest until we went to high school.
Our Freshman President lead our classroom decorations, he basically planned how it would look like. Judging came, and of course, we lost. That year (when we were freshmen), sophomores won the contest.
Sophomore year came, and this time our class adviser was really hands-on with us. She was really serious about this, and she wanted to win for the second consecutive time. Little did we know, that her trick into winning the contest was placing a "Belen" inside a classroom which my classmates and I helped together to set up. Our adviser brought actual hay for the "Belen". After the judging, we finally won!

4 - OH CHRISTMAS TREE
You know how every filipino household would at least have a Christmas tree for Christmas. I remember the time when we first had our real Christmas Tree, that we picked up. It is very different from having a fake one, because you still have to water the tree every now and then. A real Christmas tree has a distinct scent to it. The house would smell like Christmas, and it is fun to decorate!

3 - SECRET SANTA GONE WRONG
We were young at that time. This took place in school, and I cannot remember what grade we were in. During our Christmas party, we exchange gifts. I peacefully gave my gift to the person that I got. When my name was called, I went up and opened the gift in front of the entire class. My secret Santa handed me his gift, and I noticed that his gift was small. I did not take it seriously, and opened the gift. My gift was a six piece Yu-Gi-Oh cards!! My friends and classmates were getting nice gifts, but I get a six piece Yu-Gi-Oh cards. lol. Mind you, the amount was supposed to be no less than PHP150. hahahaha. My Secret Santa was an exchange student from South Korea that time, and I believe Secret Santas were not a thing before to them. My teacher grabbed her gift, and gave it to me instead. The ending? I had the best gift than the rest of my classmates. xD

2 - PUTO BUMBONG
Hold on. Yes, the kakanin. The purple stuff that they cook outside the church. Yeah. I never had them before. I never had Puto Bumbong before, and I do not know why. Maybe because I often prefer Bibingka with salted eggs? I need to try this when I go back to the Philippines!

1 - MISA DEL GALLO
You go to church, and hear mass early-- very early in the morning, and you start doing this from December 15th until Christmas. So you go to church in the morning at probably 5am for ten consecutive days. You know. I never completed Simbang Gabi before. People say that once you completed the ten days, and make a wish during the last day of church, your wish will come true. But I never completed Misa Del Gallo or Simbang Gabi before, so I am not sure if a wish would truly come true. I am personally not a morning person, so I have a hard time waking up and go to church that early. I have tried it before for at least 4 consecutive days, and until I forget about it in the morning, but I still go to church even if I miss a couple of days. Until up to this day, I still have that on my bucket list, and I hope I can cross that out for the next years!

Merry Christmas!

2017 was the year where I discovered a lot of Tagalog Slangs. I learned about them, and of course I tried using it whenever I get conversations with different Filipinos. It is quite-- for the lack of a better term, "satisfying" or "cool" (I guess) whenever I use a slang word to another Filipino and they have no idea what that meant, so I end up enlightening them about the slang word that I used. Anyway, these are just some of the Tagalog Slangs that I learned in 2017!


1. TRIQQERED C ACQUOEH
- I first read this on Twitter. I did not know what this meant, I did not even understand what word it is forming.(?) I did not know what it supposed to say. It is basically when you get "triggered" by something or someone that is instigating you, then you say that "Triqqered c Acquoeh" to him/her.

2. DONT ME
- Of course, when someone is instigating you, this is how you say "Don't even start with me", the Filipino way.

3. QIQIL C ACQUOEH
- When the person is slowly getting into your nerves, you say this to him/her.

4. PABEBE
- When someone is talking like a baby. Sickeningly cute.

5. CHAROT
- I learned this from my friend. I thought she was referring to "Chicharon" (Pork Rinds), so she started laughing at me. She said, "it is the cute-r way of saying JOKE in tagalog". I'm like okay.

6. BES/BESH
- Can I cheat in here? hahahahaha. I first learned this in 2016 when I went to the Philippines, my cousins kept on saying "Bes" to each other. I asked them what it meant, and they said that it is a way of saying "Best Friend" for short.

7. JOWA
- I learned this slang from a movie trailer. It was from "Loving In Tandem" that was released this year. Luke (played by Edward Barber) said, "No one touches Shine (Maymay Entrata), she's my JOWA". So I asked my friends what it meant. It means "boyfriend or girlfriend".

8. RK
- When a person is rich, you say "RK" to him/her. R.K. meaning, Rich Kid.

AND RECENTLY, THESE TAGALOG SLANGS BLEW UP ON THE INTERNET

9. LODI
- I first read it on Twitter. At first glance, I honestly thought that it was a complete different word in English. Spell it backwards, it gives you IDOL. I discovered what it meant by myself. HashtagLodiCAcquoeh

10. PETMALU
- I knew what it meant the first time I read it. Say "Petmalu" repeatedly, and it will give you a tagalog word "Malupet". Meaning, cool, exceptional, or something that is extreme.

11. WERPA
- Like Petmalu, Werpa is Pawer when reversed. Power in English. Meaning that something is amusing, good, or strong. I heard my cousin say, "Pawer!" a couple of months ago, and now they are off to saying "Werpa" instead.


*** The words above are INFORMAL. ***

Overall, I think that there is nothing wrong when it comes to using these words on our day to day conversations with our friends and family. Just don't use them when you go to job interviews, or when you talk to your boss, it is just not formal.

IN MY OPINION, using Tagalog Slangs does not make you less of an intellectual. I am happy that modern Filipinos are using Tagalog "root words" that Millennials use today.

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post!
Until next time! :D

It has been a few weeks since my summer ended. I know, I have not posted an entry since after the 'Sunday Currently' that I wrote a few weeks ago. My summer was not that grand unlike last year's, but I am happy that I got to try different stuffs, and went to different places this year.

My summer kicked off by attending my cousin's high school graduation. Yes, I am basing this blog from my Snapchat Saved Memories hahahaha. I attended my cousin's graduation, of course I was in charge with my camera, and took pictures of the ceremony. After the graduation, we took pictures with the family, and took pictures with the friends. We celebrated this time at home, and I was so excited since we get to eat cake! Lol We do not normally buy cake.

At the beginning of my ''Sweet Summer '17'',  I decided to watch this Korean Drama called, Goblin. It was actually my first time to watch a Korean Drama since I was a kid. This was my first serious KDrama that I watched. The storyline was great, actually. I kinda prefer Grim's, and Sunny's storyline though. Anyway, I still have to finish the series! I think I am on episode ten? I do not feel like finishing it, for now.

Okay. I want to insert a picture for this, but I prefer not to because it is embarrassing hahahahaha. This time, we came over to my cousin's girlfriend to play a water balloon fight. I did not want to get wet, so I volunteered to just record them, and take pictures whilst they play. After that, we had Mexican food and it was so good!

On the Fourth of July, it was my first time going to a Whole Foods Market. The stuff that they sell there was so expensive! No joke. But the most exciting part of this day was an unexpected trip to the Cheesecake Factory! I was so excited when I heard that we are going because I have been telling them that I wanted to go there. The place was really nice, bougie, and really clean. I could even choose my order at first because I was not familiar with their menu. Anyway, the appetizer came and it was so good! Well, I was hungry at the time. hahahahaha. My order came, and I was a little bit skeptical at first because there was a prosciutto that it came with! I got excited lol. Though, the pasta had no dressing or sauce or whatever you call it. Wait, it came with olive oil! Oh no. After we ate the food, I wanted a cheesecake, but the rest did not order any, so I did not order either. I was so happy that day! We headed home, and I planned to watch the fireworks, but ended up staying at home.

Now, the picture above. We went to a lake, and it was not planned at all. It was a sudden trip. I was wearing jeans at a lake, and it was so hot! My cousins, and his girlfriend jumped into the water, but I did not. I did not have extra clothes! My cousin wanted me to jump in, but I still chose not to. We were there for like three hours, and went straight back home. I took some cool pictures, and clips when I was there. I hope I can share them starting next year?

I went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for the first time! I was really looking forward for that day to come in months! Of course, I went to some rides! My favourite ride was the Giant Dipper, they say that it is famous. We went to one attraction, and it was the fright walk. I hate scary, and creepy things so this was a little bit exciting for me. I really enjoyed this day, and of course I took pictures and videos. I cannot wait to be back. I will share them soon!

My cousin, and his mom arrived from the Philippines. It is their first time here in America. Though we waited at the airport for almost four hours, but it was all worth it.

A week or two after we went to Boardwalk, we went to Six Flags. My cousin that just came was his first time at Six Flags. I have to be honest, I was scared of big rides because I do not want to feel sick, and start throwing up all over lol. I enjoyed my visit at Six Flags this time, unlike the last time. I loved it, and I wish I can go back some time soon! Oh! I went to this ride called Wonder Woman, and after the ride I felt really sick. Do not want to do that again. Before we head home, we watched the dolphins do exhibitions. It was amusing!

Oh. We went to see the Golden Gate Bridge!

Overall, my summer was just a simple one. I hope you enjoyed your summer! We are soon headed to fall, probably my favourite season of all. Hahahahaha :D

I hope you enjoyed what you read!
Until next time!

Always, Good Luck!

It all started in August. And it all started with this one girl named, Marydale Entrata. I am a big fan of Pinoy Big Brother, and I have watched every season of it.
In the past season, the time when the teens finally get to meet each other, I was very excited about it because I knew that teens would be a big hit once again, or probably bigger! The first teen housemate that was introduced was Marydale, and was followed by Edward. They first time that they met was kind of eye-catching. Well, the sense of kilig was sudden! When all of the boys were already complete, Marydale told them that it is time to eat dinner! Christian (a housemate) tasted what Marydale cooked for them, but he said that it does not taste like anything, so he tweaked the flavours a bit. Marydale let Edward taste the sour stew, and he said that he liked it. Edward said that it is not perfect, and that's what makes it more special. Since then, I started to follow their journey throughout the entire season even up to this day. Though many hurdles came along the way, these did not stop them and us, supporters.

The day before my birthday came, and this is the first time that I am going to celebrate my special day as a Flyer and a part of the fandom. Many of the flyers were greeting me in social media, and I am very thankful to have them. I waited for midnight for my actual birthday, and I was thanking the people that greeted me one by one, until I suddenly fell asleep.

And so I dreamed.....

I will tell you what my dream is about as detailed as possible.

As usual, you do not remember how your dream started. But what I remember is that I got an e-mail from this random e-mail address, and there was a video attached. In my dream, it was said that I was at the mall when I got the e-mail. I opened the message, and watched the video. It turned our that it is MAYWARD!!! Yes! Marydale Entrata and Edward Barber!!! It was a video greeting for my birthday!
"Hello, RJ MAGALONG! Happy Happy Birthday to you! (said by Maymay). We heard that you are a big fan of us, and we hope to see you soon! (said by Edward)." I repeated to watch the video to see if it is real! I watched it again, and yes it is real!
After I watched the video, I SCREAMED...... a lot!!! And I screamed so loud inside of the mall, that all of the people that were shopping looked at me like crazy. I started balling in tears until the police came to help me. The cops asked me what's wrong, but I said no, I am fine. They asked me once again, and I replied that I am okay. I was on the floor crying, and the people were still looking at me. I was outside of Forever 21, and the staffs came to me, and helped me got up but the endless tears kept on coming. I tried to get myself together, but I cannot do it from what I saw. The cops was following me, and even told me that they will bring me to a Psychiatric Urgent Care (whatever that is, I do not remember what they said). I looked at them whilst I was crying, and told them that I am not crazy.

Now, I cannot remember this part of my dream. I do not know how I ended up in the Philippines.


So one night I was with Master (MWOfficial), Mariz (PNE), Yana (PNE), Dana (PNE), Ace (MWRetweeter), Dism (Maywardism), Pastel (PastelVibrant), Daddy Kevin, Mommy Cathy, Marydale Entrata, Edward Barber, my cousin, Jonas Gaffud and Pia Wurtzbach. Let me just calm down............... I CAN'T CALM DOWN!!!!  I was so happy deep inside!!!! But I need to show that I am all relaxed! Okay, it is kinda weird how I am with these people, especially with Jonas and Pia! hahaha kinda weird. We were on a dinner! I have no idea how I ended up with them, and I do not even know most of them, well maybe I know them from social media, but I do not know their faces. Of course, I know Master, Daddy Kevin, Mommy Cathy, Yana, Pastel, MayWard, Jonas and Pia.
The dinner went like this...

Okay. Let me calm down once again. Sorry to all flyers, but I was sitting in between MayWard! Juskolord!
I do not remember our exact conversations, but Maymay and Edward would always tease each other! Hahaha. Moments later, Edward asked Maymay if she is his girlfriend! The entire place was in complete silence! Namamatay ako deep inside nung narinig ko iyon! Maymay was just smiling, and started to get red! I was in the middle of them, so I tried to scoot away, and sat beside Maymay. She was just smiling, and Edward was patiently waiting for her answer. I called Maymay's name as a signal to answer Edward's question. Maymay nodded her head saying yes. Edward asked, "So... tayo na?" Maymay replied, "Oo na!" I screamed, "OH MY GAAADD!!! This happened in front of me?!" I was really shocked! I started to go down on the floor looking like a worm all crazy! Pia said, "Kiss!" and the rest of us chanted, kiss! Kiss! Kiss! We were the only ones who were in that place, so it was my chance to say, "Tayo lang nandito! Walang pictures! Kiss na!!!" Maymay did not want to make the first move, but Edward's head was slowly nearing her face. Maymay did not want to because she was being shy, so I shoved Maymay's head to Edward's! Their head bumped each other, I did not know if they kissed because I was beside her, and she was turned back at me. We all screamed, and Maymay started to slap my shoulder, laughing out loud! I asked her, "Kinikilig ka May?" And she answered, "Oo. Ang gwapo eh!'' Jonas said, "Hahaha! Kinikilig siya!"
"May, okay lang." said Mommy Cathy. PNE girls said, "Kiss! Kiss!" After a few moments, Edward turned Maymay's face into him, and started to kiss her! Sobrang sigaw kaming lahat!!!!!!!!! BUUUSSSHHHAAAKKK!!!!!! They hugged each other, at nag holding hands na sila habang kumakain kami. The dinner went well, and I woke up because was the morning of my birthday.

I woke with a smile on my face. Happy Birthday to me! xD

Netflix's new-released series entitled, 13 Reasons Why storms social media.
I had no plans for our Spring Break, so I decided to join the bandwagon, and might as well watch this series since almost everyone is watching it. I finished fourteen episodes in less than three days which got me shookt. A friend of mine finished it in one sitting hahaha. The series was short for me! I had so much questions that must me answered!
I tried not to read reviews, discussions and forums on social media about 13 Reasons Why because I know that somehow, they will spoil the whole purpose, or plot of the series. Don't worry, there are no spoilers in this blog post, well at least no big spoilers xD
Spring Break was over, and finally my friends, and I get to discuss about this topic. A friend of mine have not finished watching it so we had to talk quietly. We all asked each other's questions, and surprisingly none of us had a definite answer. We all talked, and talked as if we were in Monet's (we were actually in a taco place) until my friend told me that the series was shot near us. I said, "FML?" and my friend told me that she was serious. I replied, "FML Forever?!?!", she says yes. I was shocked because I recognize the places while I was watching it, well just the bridge that Clay was looking at, at the beginning, but I thought it was just a film edit, or whatnot to make it seem that he was in that actual spot overlooking the bridge.
My friend kept on telling me that the place was shot at ********, a city that is right next to us!!! Monet's Café, Baker's Drug Store, and the Cinema place was in downtown of the city that was next to us! How bizarre?!?! The places looked good in the film!!! I didn't expect that at all!
I wanted to visit those places now since I am obsessed with the series.
Yes, you may think that the book was a better version. I did not read the book before actually getting to see the series, but I am still planning on getting the book, and try reading it. I know some people like to read, and watch the film, but that is not my thing at all.
