The Winds of August: A Diary

Rainy Day, A Perfect Story, and An Unplanned Trip – Second Week of August 2023

Last week, I decided to cut out sugar. I had been feeling some unpleasant symptoms already (HAHA gor na me! 🥹) and I was proud of myself for reaching seven days without it. I still ate rice, though, and drank coffee, but I didn’t add any sugar. I felt great after seven days! I had more energy, my skin cleared up, and I lost a few pounds. I’m going to continue cutting out sugar, and I’m excited to see how I feel in a few weeks.

Exploring the Irresistible Street Food Delights of Bohol

I am not really that adventurous when it comes to eating different kinds of foods because I am always a bit cautious of trying new foods from different places 🙃. But today, I am feeling daring. I’ll just cross my fingers and hope for the best🤞! I’m not afraid to try new foods, even if they’re a bit risky. If I get sick, I’ll just laugh it off and tell a funny story later. HAHAHA! 🤣

Chilling in Bohol, but Dreaming of More

Imagine sleeping on top of a mountain without a tent.

My friends and I did just that when we went to BOHOL! We laid our exhausted bodies on a tarp, enveloped by the cold breeze until night came. The blanket of stars began to fill the sky above. As time went by, the sea of clouds woke us up early in the morning, just below us. It was one of the best views I have ever seen. We also witnessed the pink sunset over the Chocolate Hills and saw the beautiful landscapes of the Cadapdapan Rice Terraces. We also visited the astounding Can-umantad Falls, which presented marvels to our sights. Later that day, we also swam in the mystic Canawa Spring, whose depth is unknown to anyone. Those were the times my memories were etched in my mind, such unforgettable times in BOHOL. It was such an adventurous time that I told myself I had to go back. 🫡

Sunrise at Panglao Beach: A Reminder to Enjoy Nature’s Beauty

Have you ever experienced a breathtaking sunrise that left you speechless? That was exactly what I felt during my recent trip to Panglao. Well not exactly a trip but a work-related kinda trip. I was just happy and proud with myself for being able to wake up early (only at that time, lols😅) because I am not a morning kind of person but you know, I just couldn’t leave this place without witnessing the glory of Panglao’s sunrise, that’s why when 5 AM hit the alarm I hurriedly went outside the room and rushed directly to the beach just wearing PJs, haha!😅 I looked at my phone and I was ecstatic and thrilled because it had full bars of battery and I could capture lotsa photos and then my phone malfunctioned and died and literally made me speechless as in literal ahuhuhuh!😭😭😭

Chasing Sunset in the Street of Cebu City

This should have been a wordless blog because I just wanted to feature here the snaps I got when I was going to SM Seaside, Cebu City. It’s been awhile that I haven’t taken photos of scenes in the streets at the golden hour of sunset, my fave time of the day. I was just delighted with the photos I captured. But as soon as I made the post, I noticed that WordPress has already an Al Paragraph (Al Image as well). However, this is still experimental for the time being. I can make a content in just less than 10 seconds. The design is not very authentic! The design is not very human, HAHAHA! I am sad that blogs nowadays are maybe made by Al. I feel that they seem to be not genuine anymore. But this is the world now. I have to cope and live with its realities. I’ll just have to capture more and more photos and strive my very best to be good at this thing. Oh, jiva?? Haha! Anyhoo, here’s the sample of Al paragraph done by WordPress. What do you think? Will you use Al for your contents?

A Sweet Thrill : A Sugar Rush Adventure

“Tell me your nasuya (envious) without telling me your nasuya ” Those were the words that kept on repeating in my head as I was in this situation. haaaaaalp!!!!!😨

My sister and I were dining at Sbarro in SM Cebu, and as we finished eating, she noticed a family with two kids, and one kid holding a balloon. As she scrutinized the sight, she realized it was not a balloon but cotton candy with a design of a head of a cartoon character. She tapped me and pointed at what she saw. And I mumbled my amazement, “How cute and adorable! I MUST GET ONE.“
