The Pitches are back

So I finally got to watch Pitch Perfect 2 after a week of listening to the soundtrack! All I can say is I absolutely love it :) I got captured by the camping scenes and the Bella’s performance for the world championship. It’s those moments of the heart that gets to me. Those little conversation with the people close to you comes back. For the longest time that I can remember I have been searching for “that” something to happen. Being so busy with looking that I did not know that it already found me.

Songs in the soundtrack I love: (Just a note I love all the music in the soundtrack, but these few are my favorites)

1. Kennedy Center Performance (we got the world)
2. Back to Basics
3. Cups
4. Flashlight

I love the songs ‘coz it hits something inside me.

For #1, we are all freaks when we are having fun, especially when your accompanied by your ‘crazy’ friend :) (you know those moments)The moments that you don’t care about whats going on but that moment shared with the person beside you.

For #2 I got to say this, I’m getting old, but I love songs that reminds me of my past. It brings those precious memories back to life, and you just can’t help but smile.

For #3 Hey, I loved this in Pitch Perfect when Becca used this for her audition, how can I not loved this in Pitch Perfect 2! especially when they use it when they’re about to leave Barden. It just comes into full circle for me.

For #4 Now this song, I did not expect to like. But the lyrics felt very powerful for me. I just realize ‘the you’ in the song in my life. With all the stuffs going on in our lives, we forget that if we stop and look, the people who we’re looking for are already there in our lives. And every time I hear this song , I just have had the urge to tell all those people how much they mean to me and I appreciate them for being there. you won’t believe it but when I told them they just stare back at me and say ‘are you okay?’ hahaha I’m the cheezy one and I know I mean a lot to them too :) Love you guys, you know who you are.

So this here ends my article, thank you for taking your time to read. This is me saying ‘tin out’. 

A Walk to the Office

I like walking. Walking for me meditates my mind. I have these little talks with myself. Recently I have been going through with my emotions. And I realize that instead of dwelling on things that hurts, lets focus on things that makes us happy. Easy to say but hard to do. I know “Life ain’t easy”, if it was, there won’t be meaning in it right?

I do believe we are all a work in progress. My favorite book (and I would recommend it for a read)UnLearn 101 by Humble, says “Everything is temporary, there’s really no need to hold on”. What hits home is that our lives also are temporary so what’s the use of spending most of our time to things that already happen (my brain says ‘stop holding on’, my heart says the opposite) or worry about things where we don’t have control.

I’m in this situation that is not productive for my growth. I’m trying to learn to let go for me. There are things that’s just wasn’t mean to be. With that walk, I decided then to be happy (before its too late) and realize there are things or people in your life that you just need to let go. I’m sad since I usually hold on to the end, but I am very much thankful that it happened and would treasure those moments always. As my favorite poets would have said it in When Loves Arrives “Thank you for stopping by”.

Summer Getaway!

We were supposed to go to another island, but sadly all resort in Camotes was fully booked. A lesson: should booked earlier around a month would be good. Honestly I just wanted a break from the hurly-burly day at the office, but was surprised that I had a lot of fun than was expected. 

So our itinerary was: 

Day 1: Arrive at resort 

Day 2: Kawasan 

Day 3: Go Home

The resort at Badian : Terra Manna, was amazing. Although the beach was not all that (a bit disappointed because I was excited to swim),but we get to kayak (banca cruise) all we want. I’d bet its a great place for snorkeling and diving as there are a lot of corals and sea urchins underwater (haven’t tried though). For me , I’m good with kayaking :)

During day 1, tried the beach but it was not as fun as on day 3 coz we went a lot farther with the kayak and arrive at Lambug beach resort, Badian’s public beach. They have the perfect beach over there, white sands and beautiful skies. It did not matter if I get sunburns, still have them now, but swimming there was worth the rowing of the kayak and the heat of the sun. It was one of the highlights of the weekend aside from the falls.

 The kawasan was another story, my first time to swim in a waterfall. It was sooo cold, and I usually get cramps with that kind of temperature. But as the word goes YOLO. You only live once so I endured the cold till it got comfortable and once you get to swimming around the falls you forget the cold. It was a wonderful experience , we went behind the waterfall which was so splashy (if there’s such a word) and the water gets in our eyes. All worth it! :) Some people jump at the top of the falls and swing in the trees to dive in the water. Didn’t try that , it’s easy to jump but the climb is harder maybe when I get to slim down. ;)
