so here we are... again

Who would have thought we come this far? I have been thinking in starting this blog again lately. I'm not sure what to post and what will be interesting to do myself.

After the pandemic, there were lot of things that are nice to write about as short blog entry. Tidbits. Maybe less than 500 words. I will write short pieces to make it more readable or digestible for anyone who is interested to read.

Most of us did suffer existential crisis during the pandemic. I felt the greatest fear of my life. I was afraid that I might catch Covid19 and die alone. Have you felt the same?

I'd been living alone for most of my adulthood. Yea, I never thought of getting extra baggage like having a relationship or two. But I don't.

I'm a fur parent and certified plant lover. It came about during the pandemic that I got into plants.

I was a fur parent to Milo. He was pure breed male mini-pinscher. He was my companion for over 16 years. Then, I rescued a kitten way back in 2013 and now it seem like it got out of hand. I have too many cats at home.

I used to organize events way back 2014. I was putting together group activities like hiking, beach camping, out of town trips, and social dinner for the Meetup.com group that I belong to. It was until 2018.

I like to share them here onward.

Missing Balat

How do you feel losing loved ones? I'm referring to our fur kids. I've been a cat rescuer for over five years now. It started when I rescued the first kitten I saw along Boni Avenue. He was sitting beside the homeless man scavenging garbage bag for some things he could find to eat or to sell at the junk shop. He was minding his business and unaware of the kitten beside him. I could tell the kitten was waiting for the man to give him some scraps he could spare. I passed by them and I was thinking I will get him after I went back from the supermarket. Luckily he was still there when I passed by so I took him. The rest is good story I can tell. I got a companion for Negra. I named him Balat. He died a couple of years ago. I still fondly remember him. He was docile and love to sleep for the whole day except when time he needs to go out and about. He was grumpy to other male cats. He chose to stay and live outside when I started rescuing more cats. He only goes home when it is ti...

72 Hour Kit Bag 72-Hour Emergency Kit Checklist A 72-hour emergency kit (also known as a "bug-out bag" or "go bag") is designed to provide essential supplies for you and your family to survive at least three days during a disaster, when help may not arrive immediately.

Beach and Island Destination in 2024

I miss the times when I travel with friends and online acquaintances. I used to travel to a different local destinations. Some were daytrips and some were overnight and some took a few days away from the city. I'm a part of a get together group at Meetup.com since 2013. I started to join their events and activities so I can be out of the apartment once in a while. I resigned from my office based job and found a gig to work from home in 2013. So to fight my boredom and be able to socialize a bit I joined MTAG, short for Manila Trips and Get Together. The group is one of the biggest in Meetup PH. It grown to 2,800 membership in about 2-3 years it was organized. I'm super active starting 2013 to 2017 then I kind of rested a while. The group is still at Meetup.com and being maintained by Chris. He is the original organizer and along with other event organizers. As everything slowed down during the COVID-19 pandemic so did the meetup group. Now that everything is picking u...
