STORY TIME: My Angkas Adventures - 02/19/2025
 
Pag-out ko today sa work, nag-book ako ng Angkas para umuwi ng bahay. Excited na ako kasi pagod na pagod na ako! Pag-exit ko ng building, may nakita akong Angkas na nakapark sa tapat. I mouthed the rider's name "Jerry?" to confirm, and kuya nodded. Feeling ko, ako na ang pinaka-efficient na pasahero ever! Nagsuot na ako ng hairnet (alam niyo na, safety first!), umupo sa motor niya, and then… he asked me, "Saan ka po malapit sa McKinley?"
 
Shock. Confusion. Awkward laughter.
 
Na-shock ako kasi… hindi ako yung pasaherong tinutukoy niya! Natawa ako kasi ang epic ng sitwasyon. Super hiyang-hiya ako, pero hiningi ko na lang yung hairnet since suot ko na. Ang awkward! Pagbaba ko, nakita ko yung isang Angkas sa unahan namin, and he looked at me. I mouthed, "Jerry?" He nodded. Tawa ako nang tawa habang kinukwento ko sa kanya yung nangyari. Mali pala yung sinakyan kong Angkas! Grabe, ang clumsy ko!
 
Pag-upo ko sa tamang Angkas (sana!), tinanong niya ako kung ako ba si "Florencia." Beh! Yung mukha ko, ewan ko kung anong itsura! This was my second encounter with a wrong Angkas rider. And he was asking for Florencia! Hello KUYA!!! Ang nipis nipis ko para maging Florencia! I felt betrayed! Napahiya ako bigla. Kaya bumaba na lang ulit ako with my head high up holding every inch of my dignity. EME 🤭 
 
Anyways, ni-check ko yung Angkas app, and nakita ko na nag-arrived na yung totoong Angkas ride ko. Napansin ko na kanina pa Pala may nakatambay na motor sa tapat ko, pero this time, natatakot na ako baka mali ulit! Five minutes na ang nakalipas, wala pa ring tumatawag sa phone. Habang nag uusap kami sa mata ni 3rd ANGKAS kuya, Sabi ko, bahala na! This time, tinawag ko na pangalan nya. "Si JERRY po ba kayo?" Umuoo siya, and parang nainis yata kasi kanina pa ako nakatayo sa harap niya. Mega-explain ang lola niyo! Nag-verify kami ng info, and sa wakas, tumama rin! Salamat naman! WILL REAL ANGKAS DRIVER PLEASE STAND UP!!! 
 
Hay, buhay! Ang dami kong natutunan today: 1) Double check your Angkas DRIVERs name; 2) Don't be afraid to ask (even if you're already wearing a hairnet); and 3) Laughter is the best medicine (especially when you're super awkward). 4) WAG SHUNGA! 🤭 #AngkasAdventures #EpicFail #ButStillMadeItHome #WrongAngkas #SoAwkward #PinoyLife #ComedyOfErrors

Navigating the Balance: Trusting Your Mind while Embracing the Power of Dreams and Capabilities

Image
Introduction: In the pursuit of personal growth and self-discovery, it is essential to strike a delicate balance between trusting our minds and embracing the power of our dreams and capabilities. While our minds are a powerful tool, they can be influenced by biases and limitations that may hinder our progress. Drawing from my personal experiences, I have come to understand the importance of questioning the thoughts that arise in my mind and opening myself up to the possibilities that lie beyond its confines. Join me as I share my journey of navigating this balance and discovering the transformative potential of believing in our dreams while acknowledging the fallibility of our minds.   Trusting the Mind: Our minds are incredible instruments, capable of processing vast amounts of information, analyzing situations, and making decisions. Throughout our lives, we are taught to rely on our minds as a reliable source of guidance and understanding. However, it is crucial to re...

Dream - Tayabas 2024 - 03-20-2024

Image
In my dream, I found myself standing in the vast expanse of an airport. The hustle and bustle of travelers around me created a cacophony of sounds, but my focus was solely on the other side of the terminal. There, I saw my family, their faces a blend of anticipation and melancholy, preparing to board a plane to a new destination.   I too was embarking on a journey, but our paths were diverging. The distance between us seemed to stretch further with each passing moment. Overcome with emotion, I shouted a heartfelt goodbye across the terminal. The words echoed around me, a stark contrast to the noise of the airport.   Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. The pain of separation was sharp, like a physical ache. A sense of foreboding washed over me, as if I was saying goodbye for the last time. The thought was chilling - the idea that this might be the last time they'd see me alive.   Suddenly, the dream shifted, and I found myself jolted awake. The remn...

Dream - Quezon 2024 - 03-04-2024

In my dream, it felt like we were in a different world, accompanied by our family. It felt like we were inside the terminal of an airplane. I saw my cousin, Seek, sleeping on a throw pillow, looking uncomfortable. We decided to move him to a different spot, but he was still fast asleep. I couldn't help but laugh at how he looked while sleeping.   Suddenly, an announcement was made that it was time for us to board the airplane. We hurriedly walked towards the boarding area, but the path we took was made of wooden planks with ankle-deep floodwater. Some people were walking on an elevated bridge on the other side. We managed to get on the plane, and I was assigned to seat #8. I noticed that the interior of the plane resembled a room in a house. There were bunk beds divided by blankets and chairs with assigned numbers. When I saw my seat, it was a monoblock chair with someone still sitting on it. However, as soon as I mentioned that it was my seat, the woman left. I was rel...
