The Legend of the Kitchen Soldier

.. getting cut by knives and burning my hands, I slowly begin to understand. That a single meal I make can give someone strength. 

That it's warmth can move a person's heart. Making one meal with all your heart everyday. That was the beginning of the legend.. - Final Episode (S1E12)

Kakatapos lang panoorin, though last episode na siya and since resolved na lahat ng problema, baka hindi na siya masundan ng Season 2. A bit bittersweet and thankful na napanood ko siya. Isa sa mga feel good KDrama with less drama more of hardwork, determination and lagpasan pa ang sarili. Nakakatuwa kasi inspirational and feel good TV series siya. Looking forward sa mga ganito pang palabas since medyo papunta na tayo ng panood nood nalang ng feel good and slice of life series. Ayaw na natin ma stress at peace of mind nalang ang nasa isip natin.

 

baka nga..

si Empi at Sagada

Sa tuwing napapadaan sa FYP ko ang Sagada lalo na ang spot na ito taken April 2010. Palagi ko kayo naalala Mark at Yanah lalo na ikaw Empi na kinuha nasa amin ilang taon na. Hindi na kita nayaya bumalik sa Sagada kung san nagsimula ang pagkakaibigan natin. Last December 2025, pang 6th time ko nang balik sa Sagada pero ako lang mag-isa. Sino ba naman kasi ang wala sa katinuan na sasabay sa akin na bukod sa weekdays eh magtatapos na ang taon. 

Pero masaya kahit papaano dahil hawak ko ang oras ko at halos pagmumuni at malalim na pagisip sa paglalakad ng ilang kilometro, Sagada is all about walking at alam mo yan nang mag traverse tayo na naglalakad lang ni RJ mula Pongas Falls to Lake Danum which unfortunately hindi na natin naabutan ang sunset.

Sa huling araw ko sa Sagada, ilang oras ako sa pwesto nayang nasa picture, hindi ko naramdaman ang oras kakagunita ng mga memories natin with Yanah sa unang pagapak natin sa Sagada, memorable sa akin dahil iyong ang unang adventure ko. Namumugto na nga ang mata kaka-reminisce, ang sarap, ang payapa wala pang masyadong establishment kaya na enjoy natin ang bawat moment. Kung pwede lang mabalik ang nakaraan, kaso wala eh, kelangan makapag move on at magising sa reality na wala na ang isa sa mga close friend ko. Dalaw ka naman sa panaginip ko Empi at magkwentuhan tayo. Miss ka na namin..

Note to Self..

 Dear Me,

I know you’ve been carrying a lot lately — responsibilities, expectations, silent battles, and thoughts you rarely share with anyone. But despite everything, you’re still here, still trying, still moving forward even on days when your energy feels drained. That already says so much about your strength.

Thank you for not giving up on yourself.

There will be moments when you feel behind, misunderstood, or uncertain about where life is taking you. Remember that growth is not always loud. Sometimes it looks like surviving a difficult week, choosing peace over pride, or simply getting through the day without quitting.

You don’t have to have everything figured out right now.Be proud of the person you are becoming. The lessons, failures, heartbreaks, and challenges are shaping you into someone wiser and stronger. One day, you’ll look back and realize the hard seasons taught you resilience you never knew you had.

Please be kinder to yourself. Stop measuring your worth based on how productive you are or how others see you. You are more than your mistakes, delays, or setbacks. You deserve the same patience and understanding that you freely give to others.

Keep dreaming. Keep improving. Keep believing that your time will come.

And when life feels heavy, pause for a moment and remember this: You’ve already survived days you once thought you couldn’t handle.

I’m proud of you for continuing.

Sincerely,

You

Sana..

Tanaw lang

Sinilip ko lang saglit ang 2009 entries ko sa blog na ito. Masarap lang balikan mga alaala ng kahapon, mga panahong inosente kapa sa lahat ng mga bagay at dumadaan kapa sa proseso at resulta kung maganda o hindi.

Naalala ko pa mga code na ginawa ko para makilala mga anonymous na pinagbabanggit ko sa blog entry. Kung may time machine lang, why not na balikan if magiging ok ba kami pero dapat handa rin ako sa consequences or ripple effect ng ganiwa ko kung sakaling totoo ang time travel.
