Who am I? I am a screwed-up blogger and an active blog reader since 2007. A soulful dreamer who believes that passion is life and a person who is looking for meaning, just like any other human being in this world. A super girl wannabe who is currently taking chances and chasing pavements, while keeping up with time and living life in general. This is me, and this blog is the outlet of my random thoughts.

"I am not getting any younger and so I am working on how not to put my life into waste." It rained so hard today in school just like yesterday, the other day, and the day before the other day. The weather is getting worse every now and then. Storms come and go. Weather forecasts say it's because of a storm. And so, there are inter-tropical convergence zones, low pressure areas and stuff like that. I didn't have an umbrella, and so I had to walk in the rain even if it meant getting wet, getting dirty and getting sick. Ever since, I hated the rain. Well, I don't know. I just feel that way. I mean, I always feel this way when it rains. And I am feeling the same way right now, because it's raining. It's strange...how I feel. I am a person of low resistance so I get sick often during rainy days - especially when the weather changes abruptly. When you wake up in the morning, you see the sun shining brightly. Then you tell yourself, "The weather is going to be good today. Thank God." And then the next thing you know, "Ta-dahhh! It's raining!" Then it stops. But it comes back after a couple of minutes. And it ruins everything! If there's one wish I have right now: I wish the weather will be good tomorrow. I spent the whole morning with my cousin and her boyfriend. (Hi Ate Sanz! Hi Jai! Haha!) The three of us had breakfast together and all three of us ate lunch together at the same time. Well, I had fun. At the same time, I learned a lot of things too. They say "three is a crowd". And I believe that. I just figured it out today. Haha! The "sweetness" was all over the place. Sugar and spice and everything nice. I just watched them walk together - holding hands. Haha! You know, the typical couple. "HHWW". The relationship has been going on for almost three months. Perhaps you can say, they have to go through a lot in the process. Well, I feel the same way too. I hope everything turns out good for them though.  Jai (my cousin, Ate San's bf) was an ultimate playboy. He says he had countless girlfriends. According to him, he made a number of girls cry. He had 3-5 girlfriends simultaneously - in all schools and colleges in the city. Can you imagine how he did that? I was like, "Really? You did that? How could you? Player!" Haha! (In case you didn't know...I am a feminist.) His life was a waste 5 years ago. Everytime he looked back, he'd get disappointed about everything he did in the past. His 2 past girlfriends got pregnant, but his "babies" (neonates) didn't survive. But he has one coming on the 17th of December from a previous gf he left a long time ago because he never loved her. He's been courting my cousin for the past 2 years, but they got together just recently. He had to go through a lot before they got steady. "It has been a roller-coaster ride," he says. "But now, I am a changed person," he adds. The way I look at things, I'd say it never came easy for him. He had to struggle to make her say yes. Well, it worked. But, it took place - 2 years after! It must've been hard for someone like him because guys like him usually get what they want literally in a very short span of time without too much effort. You know, the typical guy. What do you expect? New girls come and go. That's the kind of life people like him have. Surprisingly, his dad had a kidney failure. In a snap of a finger, his life changed. His dad had dialysis every week. The chances of survival was very slim for his dad at that time. When his family had no option left, they opt to let his dad undergo a kidney transplant which cost about half a million. Fortunately, his father survived. But it didn't stop there because his dad's monthly maintenance is approximately P50,000. It's quite a big amount of money. And mind you, it's not easy to get that sum of penny these days. There was a time, he thought of killing himself - death became his outmost wish. Because of depression, he blamed himself for what happened. After that incident, he had a lot of realizations in life. He realized everything happens for a reason. And that life should go on. He realized, whatever goes around, comes around. Whatever you do comes back to you, whether good or bad. He felt sorry about everything and he changed his life for the better. This time, it was for good. "I am not getting any younger and so I am working on how not to put my life into waste." That's his famous line. I'll never forget that. It makes me think about a lot of things. It brings me so many thoughts. I've had so many realizations too after our conversation. Because of his life's experience, I learned that life is what we make it. Everything you do will come back to you - today, tomorrow or the next day. You can never tell. Life is a big surprise. The journey is never-ending. And everyday, we are learning. Along the way, you will be making mistakes. Human as we are, it's something we cannot avoid to do. In every fall, all you have to do is to stand back again. Learn from your mistakes. And fight the "fight" again. But this time, make things right. Apologize to the people whom you've hurt and move on. Forgive. But never "forget". Experiences are good teachers. Use it to become a better you and make each day worthwhile. Are they going end up together? Well, I don't know. Only God knows. Nothing is certain. That we'll have to see in the future. For now, all we can do is to hope that someday, everything will turn out well. I hope the girl doesn't get hurt. I will never want that to happen in a million years. I would definitely kill him. Haha! On whether or not skirt-chasers will always be skirt-chasers forever, you judge. I know so many people who are like that. I don't know if they will change one of these days, but we can never tell. God has plans for everybody. Who are we to judge these people? I just wish the both of them the best. To all the couples out there, I wish the same thing. Relationships don't always have happy endings, but if you're meant for each other - you'll end up together.

The Blogger
Not a lot of people know (or would even understand), but I am also a victim of drama obsession. I've been camping in dramalandia since I was 13 years old, and that's where you will most likely find me when I have nothing to do.
One of the symptoms of this disease is daydreaming about dramas everywhere whether you are at work, walking down the stairs, sleeping, even as you are walking...creepy isn't it? Hahaha!
I am also a big Asian music fan and I think Asian music rocks! I go back and forth from Cpop to Kpop and Jpop, so I may be different (and strange) compared to other people that you can find around. I am an elder sister , a dreamer , a believer , a gamer , wanderer , blogger , an optimist , an ultimate foodie and a, hands down, fangirl . I love reading books , writing , music , photography and traveling.
I am a nurse by profession who is also a copy editor and a freelance writer . I enjoy learning how to play musical instruments and learning various languages . I am crazy, loud, spontaneous, free-spirited and most of the time, a klutz.
Eren Asentista a.k.a. Eray, 23, female, from Dumaguete City, Philippines. My personality...it's complicated. :D Believe me, you wouldn't want to know who I am. Hahaha! XD
I am currently watching...
In the coming days, I plan to watch...
In Asian Entertainment, I fancy...
(This is still lacking, but this is more or less it. LOL! I will most likely be updating this in the future to accommodate my growing list of biases but check em out!)
 
The things that I want to do before I die are the following:
An Asian cruise.
Templestay in Korea.
An African safari adventure.
Backpacking to Europe.
Traveling through the European railways.
