Day 17: Things that make me scared|| 30-Day Blogging Challenge

Just a random unrelated photo. Because of COVID19, some of us are assigned to committees under the Operations of Incident Command System. I was assigned under Food Donations Committee. Again, due to COVID19, we have to clean/disinfect everything (the room, surfaces etc.) before we time out and go home. So we had this running joke “kinsa ang Princess Sarah karun? (who’s gonna be Princess Sarah today)?” and the Princess Sarahs of the day sometimes impersonate her while cleaning (aping-api/bullied). Of course, the Ms. Minchin is the head of committee and she’s cool with it. Sabay ra.

So I am going to talk about things that I am scared of. One thing is that I am scared of snakes. This reptile is not my cup-of-tea at all. If other people are scared of geckos or spiders, mine are snakes. Although they are also real-life “snakes” (hahaha), the animal snakes are what I am afraid of.

I am also afraid that I would forget something that I am currently working on/doing that may cause harm to others. Of course, sometimes I can be an overthinker but I have a reason because of my disease. One of the symptoms of my disease is mind fogs/forgetting things and it really is a hassle sometimes. Sometimes I forget where I put my cellphone, what I am gonna do next, what to say next in a middle of a conversation etc. Even certain memories of my past or simple words (recently, the word Zonrox), I cannot remember unless I search for it. So I am afraid like certain thoughts of “what if I forget turning off the stove and may cause house fire? what if I forget taking care of my baby niece in the middle of a babysitting” I shared these thoughts to my boyfriend and he said that I should make a to-do-list so that I would be constantly reminded—in which I will be doing na but how I about words and memories that I have difficulty remembering? Things like that make me anxious and shake with fear.

Another thing that I am afraid of is when people that you are comfortable with especially when they know your imperfections all too well (not necessary my boyfriend but true friends and some family too) will (God forbid) suddenly leave you for good. I understand that some people leave in a certain period of their lives to experience more and I have no qualms on that. We all have people in our lives that we outgrow and that’s a fact. I respect the silent departures in my life (adulting, maybe?). BUT there are some specific people (the few chosen ones that have huge impacts on me) that are a NO-NO if they suddenly leave without saying a damn word. I can foresee the heartbreaks.

Day 15: A Place I Would Love To Go|| 30-Day Blogging Challenge

Blur photo a few years back (First time abroad + a cruise ship trip!)

In this time of a pandemic, I would love to go on vacation ANYWHERE outside our city. Just simply anywhere. But if there was no pandemic, normally I would love to visit Palawan or Siquijor (if within Philippines). I am not a good swimmer but as long as there’s a life vest and a beautiful nature-y view, why not? If abroad, I would love to visit and explore some more of Japan. As an otaku and Japan culture fan (SINCE BIRTH!), I would love to immerse again with their environment. (patriotic, polite and very punctual!!!) I got to visit one of its prefectures (Okinawa) because of a cruise ship trip. The place is actually considered a “province” but it is somehow different with our own country’s definition or perception of a “province”. Even our very short visit in the Okinawan islands made me thought (back then lang ha) I want to live peacefully there. Hahaha! Any introvert would love the place. I would love to return to Japan and explore other prefectures. Another place I am curious is Prague. Actually, it’s because I somehow dreamt of this place even though I didn’t know back then that this city actually exist. So yeah, I was curious of this place and it made me wanted to go there. 🙂

This video gives no justice. To actually visit is to believe! But anyway, enjoy!
