Merry Christmas!

Grateful that I got to spend Christmas eve with my loved ones and that I celebrated it without baggages. 😊 I have forgiven those that hurt me in the past and I won't be thinking about things that distract me from healing and growing.

I've made so much progress and I am proud of myself. Yay!

I'll be moving forward and will greet 2024 with a positive mindset.

Grateful to those who kept in touch and even to those who did not. Know that I'm still rooting for you and that I understand. I really do. Everyone's busy these days. And I, for one, am a lazy friend. I also believe that it's okay to cut-off people from your life if you think they're toxic and causing you harm. Or pwede namang temporary lang din because I also believe that people can change.

Grabe yung turn of events this year. Literal na dugo, pawis at luha ang dumanak! Intense at may suspense. Pero sa huli ay nagtagumpay! Thank You, Lord. Iba Ka! Good health, happy family and pag level up sa career. And I'm sure yung iba ko pang hinihiling, ibibigay Mo sa akin, sa tamang panahon at kung nararapat. πŸ™πŸ€

SONG SUGGESTIONS SATURDAY!

I used to be O.C. in curating playlists. Kailangan okay ang transition at mayroong kwento. Minsan mayroon pang hidden messages. Kaya bihira na makinig ako on shuffle. Kasi ineenjoy ko lagi yung playlist sa kung paano ko nilahad ang kwento. Tapos galing na galing ako sa sarili ko at iniisip kung mayroon din kayang mahilig magdecode ng hidden messages na makakagets nung ginawa ko.

Pero wow I am a changed person. Gusto ko na nang nasusurprise ako sa kung anong song ang susunod. Ate girl nyo nakikinig na nang naka smart shuffle at nakikinig na rin sa playlists ng iba. Hindi na ako nakakulong sa mga dati kong trip. πŸ₯Ή

I haven't really been listening much to music lately because I can't focus when there's music playing in the background. I tend to analyze the lyrics.

Pero ngayon na nakabakasyon ako at walang iniintindi (dahil natapos ko na ang lahat bago mag bagong taon πŸ˜‚) I can go back to binge watching, listening to music and doing some other stuff I've put on hold.

Here's a playlist I created years ago for the rainy/gloomy days, for when it's laterally gloomy or for when I kinda feel gloomy.

Have a Senti Saturday Evening!

Damay-damay na ito 😀

1. Restart - OZMA

https://open.spotify.com/track/5TCyjmgW3McmBzpPBr0Vbo?si=8EEFvGMNQBmcHY5N1C09Bw

This is one of the songs I used to play on loop in my MP4, back is my highschool days!

2. It Was May - Kowen Ko

https://open.spotify.com/track/41LOspRkJs1NfdEaJok10o?si=h4ve8bL1QLONFyWkggzvnA

Not sure what I was going through when I first heard this song but it moved me. Huhu.

3. A Beautiful Mess - Jason Mraz

https://open.spotify.com/track/1zD1dN8bVZnhSx4RZd3utE?si=oU98T1LeSBubr6Erf3ZOhA

Who do you think of when you hear songs about love? Who is it that you think of when a sad song suddenly makes you cry even when you thought you've already moved on? Chingu, I hope you would heal soon so that you'd be able to listen to those songs again without getting hurt.

4. Just The Way You Are - James Smith

https://open.spotify.com/track/1YwbObIsxLhBTjSI5lwJz6?si=N5BG9ugXSu-oLSBQ-YXNDg

I know a lot of old songs because my dad always plays music with speakers on full blast πŸ˜… Also, songs from the past are so simple yet honest and are written from the heart πŸ₯Ή

I hope you'll meet someone who would love you for being you, someone who wouldn't try to change you but would inspire you to become the best version of yourself and would not tolerate what's wrong. Alam mo yon, yung ikaw mismo yung magbabago, to become a better person dahil nainspire ka sa kanya? Ay Lord, willing to wait po. Pero kung wala po talaga, kebs lang din po.

5. Always - Carousel Casualties

https://open.spotify.com/track/2mDG574MAYnWjOczlJjgsA?si=DSCQjcBZQICG3-is5n1kzA

Ngayon ko lang yata ito narinig. Probably from Spot's Smart Shuffle. Ganda!

6. Fade Into You

https://open.spotify.com/track/2uRDhUTXYoEYop4goR3lsa?si=ehS1c52qThe2634cwuaJ8w

Love this version! I like all the other covers naman pero this is one of my favorites!

7. Heartbeats - Jose Gonzalez

https://open.spotify.com/track/11X4Gw3T4hoktVruLgTnm1?si=lcznsn5US9STyWFk2Kfe0A

Ito, what I liked, I think is how the strings were played.

8. Stay - Ka$tro, Keepitinside

https://open.spotify.com/track/15Ai1u9GZFSKJU6aoimKw7?si=K8GT6aeAS7G1omJkP6daaQ

"This is it. We had a good ride. I'm sorry for all of it. I thought we're better than we are." 🀧

"And all you gave me will stay here while you leave me." 

9. The Winner Takes It All

https://open.spotify.com/track/15Ai1u9GZFSKJU6aoimKw7?si=K8GT6aeAS7G1omJkP6daaQ

Gusto ko lang talaga kayo magsenti.

10. A Couple Things - Kate Bollinger

https://open.spotify.com/track/15Ai1u9GZFSKJU6aoimKw7?si=K8GT6aeAS7G1omJkP6daaQ

"You always told me when I was wrong
I never minded it, I needed someone to tell me, okay?
If I mess up a couple things or if I mess up a lot of things
If I f*ck up a couple things, what if I f*ck up everything?
You told me to listen better
So I tried listening to blues
You always took care of all my baggage
It's hard now it's something I gotta do"

11. Homebody

https://open.spotify.com/track/3I3ZmlSouhOYDHGWn3w0CW?si=jW0H-Pj0Ty2lNg4WcjGOdQ

Another one from the Smart Shuffle!

12. Unrequited Love (& other clichΓ©s)

https://open.spotify.com/track/1K0AENxzuLi4M420wUlvPT?si=gRGBLSMeQPKPCsPBrnqlqw

Hahahaahuhuhuhu. DAAAAMNNNN!

I was live typing (is there such a term? Parang live tweeting while watching something lol) while listening to the songs in this list. πŸ˜‚


That's it for tonight! Baka masyado akong ma-"carried away". Mahaba-haba ang aking bakasyon para makinig muli!

2023

Life in general, but mostly work, has been stressful lately but God has been sending good people my way to help and assist me in the smallest to the biggest things.

Grateful to God and to those who have been so helpful and supportive.

Grateful to God for all the blessings, learnings, wisdom, guidance and protection.

This year had its ups and downs but thanks to God, I survived it. I will surely cherish its fun parts and learn from the not-so-good ones.
