A game that is not just a game

Image
       Pandemic era is indeed giving people a lot of time to do anything because majority of us are just inside our houses, including me. Since those days are my vacation days, I can't help but to be bored. But thanks to Google Play Store I found this game accidentally.      The quotes "Can you find her?" and "Can you keep a secret" hooked my attention. Giving me an initial idea about the game. At first I thought it's like the game Criminal Case that a LOT of objects will face you, but it's not. This game is different. In Duskwood, you can interact with the other characters of the game by choosing the best option to reply through chats.      What amazed me is there is a storyline and also has real game characters, I mean real people that played by particular actors and I felt that I was talking to them in real life! There are also video calls but don't worry, you don't have to hide at the camera and turn off the mic because in reality, it's j

What made me want to go to a remote island?

Image
      I can't believe that a fan-made story made me want to go to a remote island in Europe. The story is a "man loves man" (mlm) based on two members of a band. I know it's strange or weird to ship or link two people, but I know that every fandom has this behavior.      In, Tired Tired Sea the first main character named Louis lives in a remote island called Fair Isle, located in Scotland. He is the caretaker of B&B South Lighthouse so he is accepting guests in there. One day, a strange man came there and he is a famous singer! But Louis lives in a remote island, he didn't know him and his popularity. That famous man is named Harry Styles, who needs to take a break from being am entertainer, so he decided to stay in Fair Isle but in just four months. Four months is enough for them to know each other. They shared experiences in life and everything. Then there's a point that they confessed their feelings to each other.      The story is like too long and laz

Loleng's Hu Tieu-an

       When you visit Morong Bataan for a vacation, Loleng's Hu Tieu-an is a must visit. Located exactly in Mayor's Street Binaritan, Morong, Bataan. They have legit Vietnamese foods, they have simple and affordable menus so this is a hidden gem for those who are looking for some unique restaurants here in Morong.       Me and my relatives have a vacation there so we didn't missed our chance to go there. So that's why I've tasted their masterpieces or should we say their best selling recipes.      The first one is their Hu Tieu noodles that will definitely make your stomach satisfied in just 40 pesos for regular and 80 pesos for special.      My favorite there is their famous Banhmi's which costs only 50 to 70 pesos. It is worth it because of its big lengthwise sandwich that is even good for two people. But if you can eat it as a whole, why not?      The place itself made us feel home because it's open but well ventilated, additionally the crews are so appro

My aunt is right

          I agree when my aunt said that if she was being asked if what is her favorite place in the Philippines, she would choose Subic in Zambales. What made me agree is I always stay in my aunt's house in Dinalupihan, Bataan during vacations before pandemic, which is just 30 minutes away from Subic. So every weekend, we are always going there for travel and dinner. Subic, Zambales has everything, tourist attractions, beach, hotel and resorts, a lot of restaurants, hypermarkets and malls.       My favorite hypermarket there is the Royal Duty-Free, from the word "duty-free", no taxes in any products there, plus my aunt said that celebrities are often there, and she's right. One night, I saw Marjorie Barretto there, but I didn't dare to ask for a picture because first, I'm not a fan of her and second, it's her private moment with her family.       Anyway, I love the restaurants in there, especially the Wimpy's that is formerly in Olongapo but now in Ha

Baguio City experience as a child

Image
      I almost lost in Baguio City . Yes, it is when my family went there for a week for vacation. I was just in my third grade but I can still vividly remember those places we went to.      First is the famous Strawberry Farm , I'm just laughing now when I remember the rule there that you have a basket and you have to put all the strawberries there and will weigh later for you to pay it, but what I did is I ate the strawberries directly after picking it. Please forgive me, I was still a child back then.      Next is the Burnham Park where I ate strawberry taho for the first time. That was such a great experience. Flowers everywhere, and even elephants, I mean elephant structures.       What makes me remember our trip there the most is when I almost lost in Minesview Park . It's because there's an area there where they are throwing coins and I've watched it for so long and when I turned around, I saw nothing but stranger, completely strangers. My sweat suddenly turned

Friendship Defined

Image
      Four of my bestfriends made me define what friendship is. I met them in my freshman year in high school, in short they were my classmates. Our circle of friends even have a name: PaBoys (Payat and Baboys) cringe? I agree, but that name is memorable for me.      Back in high school, in my section, I always experience bullying, not directly. But when they are talking some not so good things about someone, I definitely knew it was me. I always feel like I'm the most ignored and unimportant classmate then. I think it is because my family have a huge financial issues back then so some of my classmates discriminates me. Because of that, I found out who is a true friend and not. The true ones are my four friends, they never made me feel like I'm excluded, here's why:      2017 is a painful year to me, I had to move from Laguna to here in Rizal because my aunt suggested to my father to move here because of more opportunities especially in work, then he agreed... When I found

Complicated New Year

Image
           I totally realized the conflicts of being in a broken family. I always celebrate New Years with my father, from the day I was born but this New Year, January 2022 is the first time I didn't celebrate New Year with my father. It's because I celebrated with my mother.      I can't help but cry secretly because of that. But on the other side, that makes me think about my mother. What does she feel when she's celebrating birthdays? New Years? or even Christmas? (even though we don't have a Christmas, we are Iglesia Ni Cristo but she is not) Who is she celebrating with? Or is she even celebrates? So that's why I agreed that I will celebrate New Year with her.      I don't know the exact reason why they've separated. I was seven, I just opened my eye with my parents not together anymore. During my early ages, I'm not asking my dad about her, I don't know, but for me it's because he can be both mother and father for me and my older brothe
