10-Day Blog Challenge: Day 1

On By MarmelismsIn Blog Roll, Ramblings1 Comment

Because I neglected my blog for 7 entire months, this is my punishment. I should really get back to writing. I may be getting sloppy with my witty remarks and my crazy outbursts.

This 10-day challenge is just a start. By December, I plan on moving on to the 30-day Blog Challenge PLUS the Photo-a-Day challenge by FatMumSlim.

Where I got this? I Googled it. Really. I found several versions and could not find the original source–thus the ‘too many sources’ disclaimer.

Here I go…

Day 1: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

  1. Dude, I love music–truly, I do. I enjoy listening to it no matter what my mood is. But my house is roughly 15 meters away from your house and I do not appreciate VERY LOUD MUSIC at 6:30 in the morning (and ends at 9AM). It’s funny coz your music choice is just like mine–mixed. But dude, not the same genre. And another, lose those Bisaya version of English songs. It’s fine if it’s just Bisaya, but when it’s dirty, I cringe. I have a 6-year old kid and I do not want to answer awkward questions like “why did he sing ‘your butt is tasty’ (lami ka ug lobot)?”.
  2. Your ex is kinda creepy. She still writes about you 5 years after you broke up.
  3. I still have not forgotten what you said about me. And every time I remember you calling my kid a bastard, my blood boils.
  4. Siblings watch out for each other. I’m lucky to have such siblings. You, on the other hand, need to learn how to take care of your brother.
  5. I love you mom. (I will text her after this post)
  6. Stop with the duck-face. You are not a duck.
  7. Everything will turn out okay. It’s going to be a rough start but the bumps will help you navigate life.
  8. I wish I was there with you during the PTA meeting.
  9. Your kid is a bully. Were you or are you a bully too?
  10. You’re not welcome here.

This was a lot harder than what I expected because to be honest, I didn’t feel like talking to anyone. With my list,  I realized that I truly hold grudges. Need to change that. Exhale the negative. Inhale the positive. Exhale the negative. Inhale the fart. Kidding.

Heard this first in Spotify and got hooked. And not just this song but the duo.

Guilty as Charged

I am guilty of not following through. I have not blogged for 7 months despite my monthly quota of 1 (ONE!) post per month. Where the fuck was I? Or what the fuck was I doing??? Damn. I need to make some changes in my schedule–truly.

Why does it matter anyway? It matters because this blog is for me. And believe it or not, I enjoy reading my (previous) blog posts and most of the time I laugh coz it seems that I am reading as another person. If some people are narcissistic, taking selfies every 5 minutes, then this is my form of narcissism. I would say that this is the lesser evil (not that selfies are evil)–right?

My PC crashed a month ago and all of my photos are stored there. Tsk tsk. So now I’m stuck with my MacBook–not a lot of pictures. Truly.

Anyway… Seven months. Wow. Bela is now a first grader–who excels in Math! I did not see that coming. But according to her Dad, he realized that she liked Math better than English because she prefers puzzles and she likes chess. Chess. CHESS! I can’t even finish a single game! She truly is her father’s kid (though they are not biologically related). She was also asked to represent her class for a Math challenge.

With everything that happened while I was ‘away’ (more like being lazy), I think it would be best to write a few (or maybe several) posts about those.

While I ponder on what to write next, enjoy these photos of Uncle Ado:
