I am sorry. I have been busy and sometimes, well.. lazy.
13. Taste random foods i dislike: milk tea, blueberry cheesecake, strawberry ice cream, Reese, white chocolate, sushi, sashimi, oatmeal, yogurt etc.
I will start this so called blog by saying that after reading this you might find me weird.
*the other day me and my office friends are talking about weird stuff we eat and we totally like and i was like spending the whole shift thinking about any weird thing i like and… nothing as in wala ako maisip POOR ME!!! —- well anyway my point in sharing this is maybe what i can share is the the stuff i DONT like that makes me WEIRD A-ha! well enough with the commercial…**
I look like a normal working fun happy girl but the stuff that i dont eat because i dont like them period is a little weird for some (specially for those who loooove’s the ones i am about to share) well i just dont like how it taste!
While making my list me and ate Grace talked about the food i dont eat which happened to be the ones she love.. so we decided to turn it to a challenge (BAD IDEA!) so we added sa list for me to eat the stuff i totally dislike *insert barf here*.
a. WHITE CHOCOLATE! (Kit-Kat):

I LOVE CHOCOLATES but please not white! Can you guess why i hate white chocolates? because i don’t drink milk! I just didn’t like the taste of white chocolates it makes me want to throw up.. so to you guys out there who might be my boyfriend someday — Please no white chocolate.. thank you!
b. YOGURT!

I know.. i know… why yogurt? its because it smells weird and taste weird! this one is with a jello and i LOVE jello but it took me hours before i can finish and the last spoonful while walking on our way to Greenbelt makes me want to throw up on the street (yikes!) even my burp taste like yogurt, even my saliva taste like yogurt!!! —not a very good night :(
c.MILK TEA (Serenitea)



Define TORTURE? It is Milk mixed with Tea! Everybody loves MIlk Tea Bubble Tea whatever, i just don’t understand. First of all i don’t like milk and second Tea for me taste like grass… so drinking this makes me feel like a goat. Ate Grace was sweet enough to let me drink just half of it because it is my birthday naman right. :)
c. SUSHI

Sushi i think is the easiest part of the night, my family loves sushi so when they eat it i always try and eat one. Its like Kimchi, when i was little i always try it but hate it and then now i just love it to death. This is the kind of food i dislike that if i eat 20x or the guy i am with like it i will learn to love. (may possibility!)
d. MILK!
I have a confession, i stopped drinking my Mama’s breast milk at the age of 3 years old.. gross.. i know. You should blame that part of my life why i just hate milk i guess i spent a whole lot of time drinking it when i was younger that now i just cant stand it anymore. I eat/drink Halo Halo, i love sopas with milk, i like leche flan and buco pandan.. but MILK ALONE? no way!!!
e. FROZEN YOGURT

Ate Grace loves anything Yogurt specially the frozen ones which i always tell her that is just a silly, poor attempt to be a healthy ice cream — sorry i love my ice cream more. This one my friends is a triple whammy.. why you might ask? it has Yogurt, blueberry and cheesecake the 3 lovely food i don’t eat (my Lola makes the BEST blueberry cheesecake — as per my cousins and whenever she bakes lahat kami may isang slice and all of them fight for that one extra piece.. my piece. haha) so well this is the last part of my challenge and after i am done it will be a check in my list and i am off to work… so i did finished the monster.
At work: TUMMY ACHE! :(
Ahhh well what is the moral lesson? it is going out of your comfort zone and trying the food that you dont like and maybe realize that well it is not that bad — same with life, get out and try something you thought you cant do or cant eat or whatever life is too short to have restrictions.. whatever the outcome, good or bad.. at the end of the day you can tell yourself “oh well i tried!”.
XOAA♥
12. FLY! (JANUARY 15, 2012)
My first plan was to go to Tagaytay’s famous zipline (that until now i have never been — poor me!) or sky diving but when i decided to go to Puerto Galera (related story soon) i decided to go PARASAILING which is the most awesome thing ever!
On my 2nd and last day in Puerto Galera i decided to walk by the beach early in the morning to confirm my departure time with the boat company and going back to the hotel a girl asked me if i want to get a massage.. at first i said no coz i was wearing a dress and i don’t have a swimsuit on BUT since it will be a treat to have a massage by the beach i asked her if she can do just my back and she said yes.

She told me that they believe in “Buena Mano” and when she saw me smiling at her even though i declined the massage and then end up having one she told me its gonna be a good day for her, i don’t know if that is the ultimate “bola” but still.. it made me happy and well i guess she is happy too. haha
Anyway, i told her i have this list and that i wanted to try cliff diving or parasailing but i don’t know if i can do it… and to my surprise she told me that her husband is the one assisting the parasailing team and i that i will be totally safe.. i was thinking about it soooo many times in my head if i will do it or not, thinking i am going home in a few hours.. thinking about my list and how awesome it will make me feel to have done it (and it will totally earn me a bragging right) i finally said a very brave YES!
But i told her i need to go back to the hotel to change into my swimsuit and shorts of course.
While changing my clothes, going out of my room, fixing my hair, walking back to the beach i keep saying “am i doing this? am i doing this? this is crazy…” out loud.. I WAS VERY VERY NERVOUS.
Ok so i saw the speedboat with 3 men who will be the driver, photographer and assistant.. ok here we go i am really doing it.
As soon as i hop on the speedboat (another first time) i was nervous excited which is a good thing.. turns out i will be flying with the “assistant” coz i might be too tiny alone and it will not be balanced (coz that thing is made for 2 pax — where is a boyfriend when you need one?! lol) so i said ok and then off we go!!

Well it sucks that i am not with a Boyfriend or even a friend in this picture but well that is the point of travelling alone so i will let the picture with the “assistant” pass.
Anyway it was an awesome beyond awesome experience! the view from above is so priceless it will take all your worries away even though the speedboat slowed down 3x that will let you feel like falling down and drowning to death haha but they will speed things up so that you will be out of the water just in time (plus the assistant telling me there are sharks! GREAT! happy Birthday to me! anyway it was JOKE — not funny at all)
In the end i was able to fly! and it was GREAT mostly because i was able to overcome my fear and experience a breathtaking adventure by myself. i will definitely do it again!

XOAA♥
My current feel good work song ♥ love et!
