A List of Things I’ve Been hearing Lately

Things happened so fast…

Give yourself a break…

It’s been a hard year for you…

Grabeha oi!

You’re strong, you’ve always been strong. you’ll get through this.

Everyone knows you’re not like that. Why would he even think that?!

Ga lagot ko niya!!!

Mas ganahan jud ko ni ______, mayta mag balik pa mo.

Nganu ganahan man jud ka ug weird pets?

Sauna pagyud ka ana.

Boang gyud ka. Na dala paman ug joke joke. 
— oh wells.

The best thing I’ve ever done is choosing to be alone or rather to surround myself with people who no longer make me feel so small.

I don’t have to prove myself to people I care about and if they cared about me, I would never have to prove myself to them anyways.  I don’t have to worry about disappointing people because I am not disappointing myself. I’m moving at my own pace and I feel like I’m flying right now.

I’m working on a film, I’m on schedule, I’m setting meetings with clients, I’m playing with my hedgehog, packing for events and reading again. I am at peace because noone is waging a war with me and in return, I am not starting wars with myself.

I get sad sometimes, but sadness is a feeling that hovers around me like a rain cloud but I always sleep it off.

I’m listening to a song that used to make me cry but now it’s just background noise and that means a lot especially for the sentimental loser that I am.

I wake up contented now knowing that I’m living this life for noone but myself whether I am alone or not. I don’t have to worry about hurting anyone or falling short or having my mistakes dangled in my face and that is truly the best part about all of this. 

I am OK. I hope you are all the same.

Dai, kwaa palihug akong rubber shoes sa taas, katong itom ug pink. (was rushing to do something so I asked her to do it for me. I am not dependent -.-)

5 minutes later she comes back with this…

Ah, Jesus. I die. hahaha.

Went to 2 events, got my nails done, ate Japanese food and had a lot of my questions answered today.

Tomorrow I have a photo shoot, a morning at the gym and a night of watching over Cotton and on Saturday is just another set of crazy events.

Truly grateful that I am able to do all these things.

Again, I am ok.

 

Cotton Ball

My little cotton is a very interesting fellow. the first night he was here, he got out of his cage/ box and kept running around the room. out of paranoia that he would get hurt, as I had not fully hedgehog-proofed the room, I put him in him a bin so he would be safe.

The morning after he was extremely upset with me and he hissed, curled up into a ball and shot out his spikes at me. 

I worried the whole day anout him as I worked, even if I knew he would be asleep the whole day. I rushed home after all my meetings and was relieved to find this little thing in the same spot I left him in before I left for work.

Last night was different. he had figured out how to get out of his bin and spent the entire night running around my room which is safer for him to roam around in. I’ll get a real cage soon but I like this set up so far. I like giving him the freedom he wants especially in his waking moments..

The cutest thing about him is that he likes to sleep in my clothes… So now I leave a pair of shorts in his bin that he can hide in. I kind of liked those shorts… awh, meh.

No new photos of him today. I am in a hurry for a weekend packed with events. Yey! 

I am more than ok. šŸ™‚
