Happy Slip and Blog ni Inday

So anyway, I came across two fantabulously hilarious sites made by Pinoys. And have put it as my daily dose of funnies.

Happy Slip was introduced to me just over the weekend and when I came across her site today, I was overwhelmed with how popular she already is. Sobrang lokaloka. She is a vlogger who became famous over youtube as a one-woman show.

Ang Blog ni Inday on the other hand started out as text jokes sometime last year. I didn’t know that it was so famous that it earned itself its own blog on more jokes!

Such fun, fun reads. :)

prices and benefits of being discouraged

When I made my breakthrough last year, I went into uncertainty. Deep down I felt that it was the right thing to do, but the “what’s next” I wasn’t sure of. There were plans but it still seemed a bit incomplete to be form a perfect master plan. It was when the year started, that the “just doing it” took place, and some clarity took formation. Excited-ness started, and the worries seemed to be getting smaller. Now every time I’d talk about my plans, I have this big smile, and I know — I’m in the right track. Don’t get me wrong, the plans are still not as complete. And after March, if things don’t go the way I want it to, I have at best come up with only a plan B. But I seemed to have plucked myself out of nervousness and brought myself to *what’s my next adventure*.

A bit gutsy from my part, a risk if you call it, to be planning with too few details (or so they say). Now that I’ve started talking about it (as compared to my half truths last year), there are people who have been questioning my plans, and asking me to complete the picture. And because it’s not yet complete, if you hear me then say, “I don’t know”, I’m just being honest. Although I’m confident enough that things are going to be just fine, I seemed to be getting reactions, feedbacks and comments that are on different sides of the scale.

Simplify – make a theme

I did post at the start of the year my resolutions. And I did give an update of where I was shortly after. Reg has said it most correctly when she mentioned that I was gunning for too many items and thus, it would be difficult to go after all of them, all at once. (I am not superwoman!)

Also, while bloghopping to Althea’s site, I saw her “themes” vs. resolutions post. I kinda preferred that to the resolutions I’ve initially come up with, and this seems to be the better answer to the superwoman cluttered resolution list.

My very first award

This 5-Star Blog Award is given to a blogger whose blog is of highest classification. A blog of excellence in the following criteria:- content, design and style, informative and accommodating.

Maeyo blog awarded me. ***Hangtaray… may ganito pala dito*** Ummm. What do I do with this? Hehehe. Thanks sis. :stolenkiss: Quite frankly, if the next step is to pass the award to my blogger friends, I’d have to give it back to Maeyo and Reggie, for the same reasons Maeyo said! (No originality ba?)

Sige na nga… I’m also awarding Richard most especially because he not only maintains his own 5-star worthy blog, but he’s contributed to two of my stars! Nyahaha! Psst. Bagong layout ko ha.

kung hei ash wednesday

Yesterday Ash Wednesday. Today it’s Kung Hei Fat Choi. It must have been quite difficult for those practicing both because they wouldn’t know whether they should be fasting or feasting!

It’s a good thing that I’m not practicing either.

Happy Chinese New Year Guys!

Where the hell is Yevka?

During a chat conversation the other day with a friend, when I asked “how are you?”, instead of the regular “I’m okay”, he answered, complete with a sad face “Sad. My spirit is low.” Alarmed, I asked why. He said that he was doing so many things, and he was tired of what he was doing. So I asked what that was. And he replied with “Same old shit I’ve been doing. I want whatever he’s doing – being human”.

It’s funny how so many of us get trapped into the same old shit and that seeing someone living life will fuel our jealousy and longing and wishing to be “just like him/her/you/them”. By seeing what we’ve secretly want to always do in others, it makes our excuses for not doing it so much bigger because of how hard it is to get out of that comfort zone. But at the same time, maybe it’s exactly what we need to see.

break from surfing

I’ve been posting all about the surfing weekend. I need to break it, otherwise, this could turn out to be some sort of addiction. Imagine, aside from making my own posts, I’ve been ooh-ing and ahh-ing other Surfvivors multiply accounts in most of my online surfing hours.

Anyway, a break I need. I have two accomplishments from yesterday.

Pic care of Randy Tamayo.

This was my last wave. I told my instructor, isa na lang (one more time) please. So he said okay, then gave me a push as soon as the next wave came in. Not yet ready, he was shouting at me “Evelyn, tayo na (stand up)!”, and I was like “wait, Chris, I’m not ready!”. So I ended up in that position until I reached the shoreline where Randy was and who took a quick shot of me, while I was laughing and saying “but I wasn’t ready!”.
