10 LESSONS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY EX
By Carl Dave Black Ang

Dili sa tanang panahon puro kasakit ug kamalasan atong makuha sa atong EX, usahay naa pod tay makuhang leksyon ug pagtulon-an gikan sa atong mga kasinatian katong uban pa nato sila.

1. Ingon si Ex: “Abi nimo’g nakalimot nako sa imong gibuhat sauna boanga ka?”
Lesson: Forgive but don’t forget.

2, Ingon si Ex: “Paspasi Babe kay basin maabtan ta nilang Mama.”
Lesson: Use time wisely, do it quickly.

3. Ingon si Ex: “Unsa man, DOTA o ako?” or “Kuyog kas imong barkada or ako?”
Lesson: We make tough choices/decisions in our lives

4. Ingon si Ex: “Ge Bhe, sleep na ta, good night. Ikaw end sa call ha”, “Ikaw lang bhe”, “Ikaw lang gud”, “Sige, ako nlng”
Lesson: Voluntarism is important so you can sleep early

5. Ingon si Ex: “Oh lagi, ako nay pirme sayop ug ikaw na ang sakto pirme”
Lesson: I’m not perfect but my Ex thinks I am

6. Ingon si Ex: “Adto nalang niya kay mas gwapa/po, bright, sexy/macho pa to kaysa nako”

MGA TUBAG SA PANGUTANANG NGANONG LOVE KO NIMO?

Aside sa “Asa ta kaon?”, ang “Nganong love ko nimo?” pod ang usa sa pinakalisod tubagon nga pangutana. So here are the possible answers to this question.

1. The Pakonsensya Effect - ”‘Coz you’ve hurt me so many times, yet I stayed.“

2. The Tapolan Mood - ”Kailangan gyud diay naay rason?”

3. The Medyo Maldito Response - “Ayaw pagbuot. Love tika kay love tika!“

4. The Lost and Found - "Kay di nako kaya kung mawala ka.” or "Coz you complete me!"

5. The PokemonGo - “Simply because I found you, I chose you and we're meant to be.“

6. The Xerox Copy "Kay happy ko kung mahappy ka. Masakitan ko kung masakitan ka. Maguol ko kung maguol ka.”

7. The Scientist - “Because you’re the only one that makes my heart beats faster and slower at the same time.”

8. The #BeastMode “Mura man ka’g amaw diha. Dili pa diay enough akong gipakita nimo nga mangita paman gyud kag rason? Di ka kabalo makontento? Akong love nimo dili ma express og words. Kasabot ka?” 

9. The Philo 101 "Ang paghigugma wala nay rason. Kay kung naay rason, dili na sya gugma. Kay kung moingon ko’g love tika kay imo man gisabot akong batasan bisag libog usahay. What if dili nako nimo masabtan, so dili napod ko nimo love? Mao ang gugma walay rason. Basta love lang gyud tika.” 

10. The Truth Hurts “Sure ka love gyud tika?”, or “Love tika kay wala koy choice, napugos ra ko.”, or “Lingaw-lingaw raman ni ato gud, ayaw paninuod!”

11. The Trial Court - "Mura man pod kag abugado coz you continue to question my love when I already plead guilty."

12. The Respectful - "Dili naman gyud tika love, respetar nalang man ning akoa kay nasugdan naman gyud." #Tagam

13. The Investor - "Kay murag daku-dako naod akong gasto nimo, nya wala pa kaayo ko ka bawi."

Sa kahilig nato mo overthink, naay mga butang bisan obvious na kaayo, mangita pa gyud ta og words to suffice it. Action speaks louder than words. Ayaw’g kaguol sa rason kung nganong love ka niya. Kagul-i ang pangutanang “Hangtod kanus-a?”

July 17, 2016

Pagkahuman nako og himo sa akong previous blog “Nganong Dili Dapat Makigbalik sa Ex”, naay nangutana nako og “Since dili pwede makigbalik, pwede ra makig sex sa Ex og balik? Like ex with benefits?” So diara akong tubag sa imong pangutana.
Here are four reasons nganong sex-with-the-ex is a bad idea:
1. WALA NAMO - kabalo ka, kanang EX, mura nag Guard sa mall nya ikaw ang Bag, igo ra ka ana tusok-tusokon, kay timan-i, ang taong sa love life gipit, sa Ex kumakapit . Inig ka kita nya ana og igpupuli nimo, aw, luoy ka.
2. IT BLOCKS NEW LOVE TO COME ALONG - you need to create opportunities to meet and get to know new and better people. Dili na mahitabo kung ga sige kag pilit anang imong ex. Just so you know, two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time ug daghan pang letra sa alphabet, dili ra kay X, so ayaw’g focus sa usa ra.
3. MAGKUYOG NAPOD MO - kung padayonon ug pirmehon ninyo inyong “sexual relationship”, dako ang chance nga mosamot ang ka lisod sa pagmove on. Ang ‘X’ sa Math sinosolve at binabalikan dahil sayang ang score. Pero yung ex mo, hindi na dapat binabalikan at pinanghihinayangan kahit ex with benefits na lang. Kung mana, mana. Dili mo series nga naa pay “to be continued”.
4. MOSAMOT KA’G KALIBOG SA NYONG SITWASYON - Yes, naay chance nga mag sabot mo to create rules nga walay commitment and expectation, purely casual nalang na para ninyo, However, usahay dili gyud malikayan nga the “sexual act” will cause you to expect exclusivity sa usa'g usa. So, mag away na pod mo nga mura gihapog kamo kay magselos ka or mahimo gihapon ka/sya nga possessive nimo, and you’re gonna be handling the same drama in your life, in short, you’re just gonna be prolonging the agony.

Mga Klase Sa Barkada

Mas nindot ug lingaw ang barkada kung naay ing-ani nga apil sa grupo.
1. Mr/Miss Next Time - sila ang halos pirme nalang walay kwarta, kesyo pliti ra ang dala. Once in a blue moon ra kaayo mopagawas og kwarta or mo amot. Kung ting pliti na gani, normal line nila kay “plitihi sa ko ha kay wala koy sinsilyo”,”ako napod lagi bahala next time”. nahurot nalang tanang next time sa kalibutan, pero wala pa gyud.

2. The Megaphone - sila ang pinakasabaan sa barkada, bisan kamo ra ang nag storya, pero halos tibuok baryo ang mga dungog, murag pirme ga shagit, sa jeep mao ang pinaka saba. Sila ang pinaka baga-baga og nawng nga mangutana og direction from a complete stranger kung maglibog mo kung asa mo agi. 

3. The VIP - sila mao halos pirme late sa mga laag. Daghan kaayog alibi ug rason nganong ma late siya mostly tungod sa iyang pagka medyo arte, vain and OC, mahibulong mo nganong malate siya halos taga kita ninyo nga mag taxi man unta sya.

4. The Go-Getter - sila ang pinaka walay libog sa barkada. Kung imong pangutan-on kung okay ra ba nga adto or kini ang buhaton, sige lang og tando. Basta malingaw ug malipay ang barkada, go ra dayon siya. Dali ra kaayo sila sugtan sa iyang mama kung mo laag kay grabe makamugna og rason.

5. The Bullied - sila ang pirme ma bunotan sa raffle. Sila ang pirme sungogon, kansyawan, ug trippingan sa barkada. Usahay pikon maong nindot kaayo sungogon. Medyo maypagka tanga ug pirme lang naay bloopers.

6. The Hugotrapher - sila ang pirme nalang murag ga maoy, kay taga lihok naay hugot. Mahibulong lang mo nganong nihilom og kalit, ga huna-huna diay to og hugot. Normally, walay lovelife mao medyo maypagka bitter.

7. The Socializer - sila ang pirme ga online kung magkuyog mo, updates Facebook every now and then, sila hilig mo tag ninyo sa pictures ug posts. Most of the time sila ang pinaka up-to-date sa mga kisaw or as nindot mo lakaw. Sila ang best person nga pangutan-on kung asa ang nindot. Mag storya mo pero iyang kamot ka cellphone ga sigeg pindot.

8. Mr/Ms Bitbit - sila pirme ang naay kuyog nga uyab. Usahay lahi-lahi pa ang dal-on. Mag sige lang og ingon nga mao na to iyang forever, mag bulag ra diay gihapon.

9. The Richkid - sila most of the time ang manglibre or mao ang pinaka dakog contribution sa mga laag. Sa balay pod mo nila magtambayan, memorize nalang gud sa iyang mama/papa inyong mga names sa sige ninyog balik sa ilaha. And of course,

10. The Leader - sila mao ang tig himo og mga plano, tig set og event, sa dates, kung asa mo adto, ug sila normally mao ang agdon sa lakaw. Maglisod og porma ang barkada kung wala sila.
Ikaw? Unsa ka klase nga pagka barkada?

Nganong Mas Maayo Pa'ng Mokaon Kaysa Makig Relasyon

Since it's Nutrition Month, here's my special blog for this month para sa mga hilig mokaon sama nako, dedicated sa mga mas moto-o og FOODever kaysa FOREVER ug ang moto in life kay "Bahalag Single basta Busog".
Enjoy my 11 Reasons why better ang mo hab-hab kaysa mag uyab-uyab.
1. Kung mokaon ka, imong lawas magka baga. Perokung mag uyab-uyab ka imong uyab magka biga.
2. Kung ang pagkaon mapasagdan, pwede malain or mapan-os. Pero kung ang uyab mapasagdan, for sure maylain na nang kagakos-gakos.
3. Kung ang pagkaon nalawayan na nimo kay imoha na. Pero kung ang uyab bisan nalawayan na, ma-ilogan gihapon ka.
4. Ang pagkaon kung kaonon nimo tanan, mabusog ka. Pero ang uyab bisan gihatag na nimo tanan, kulang pa.
5. Kung ganahan ka’s pagkaon pero dili ma imoha, ‪#‎Nganga‬. Pero kung ang tao nga imong ganahan dili ma imoha, ‪#‎Tanga‬.
6. Kung sayop nga pagkaon imong makaon, tiyan ra ang mosakit. Pero kung sayop nga tao imong higugmaon, kasing-kasing ug tibuok pagkatao nimo ang magsakit.
7. Kung gutomon ka, 1 call away ra, maka order naka. Pero kung gimingaw kas imong uyab, naka 435 missed calls naka niya, wa gihapon ka tubaga kay tua ga DOTA.
8. Kung ang pizza mobugnaw na pwede ra initon og balik. Pero ang uyab ug ang relasyon nabugnaw, lisod na ibalik.
9. Kung mahurot imong kwarta og ginasto sa sigeg kaon, okay ra kay at least nabusog ka. Pero kung mahurot imong kwarta ginasto sa relasyon nga walay klaro, magmahay ka, kitkit og koko nalang ka.
10. Sa pagkaon, bisan dili ka gwapa/gwapo, pwede ka maging choosy. Pero sa lovelife, kung di ka gwapa/gwapo, di gyud ka pwede mahimong choosy or else forever ka NBSB/NGSB.
11. Kung mokaon ka og hipon, maglaway ang uban. Pero kung maka uyab ka’g hipon, msawayon ka's uban.
Timan-i, mas nindot higugmaon ang daku'g kaon kaysa taong bigaon. And don't forget to eat healthy because health is wealth and choos what's good for your heart.

5 Ka Rason sa Selos

Dili lang kay ang baha, biga ang lisod pugngan, dili lang pod bilbil ang lisod itago, apil na ang SELOS. Pero nganong magselos man ta? Here are 5 Reasons Nganong Magselos

1. NAA SILAY PAST SA IYANG KA-ESTORYA (ex M.U., ex fling, ex girlfriend/boyfriend, ex fubu) - Syempre dili malikayan nga mag selos ka kay sila man ang nag una sa tanan, unang nagka fall-inloveban, unang nag date, nag kiss. basta tanan, nabuhat na nila before pa ninyo nabuhat. Maong nga magselos ug mag huna-huna og bati kung makit-an nimo imong uyab with his/her EX. Basta EX kay dapat “NO EXCUSES” kay tanang EX dapat dili na mo EXsina, respito pod gamay sa relasyon.

2. GWAPO/GWAPA/ITSURAAN ANG NAG FLIRT-FLIRT OR KUYOG NIYA - magpanic ug maparanoid dayon ka kung makit-an or mahibaw-an nimo nga naa syay kuyog nga MAS gwapa/gwapo, MAS buotan, MAS bright, MAS funny, MAS nindot og kutis, MAS tupong og ngipon, MAS sexy, MAS hot, MAS datu kay naay car, basta anything nga “MAS” pa nimo. Ang imong insecurities mang gawas dayon, pakapinan pag self-pity. Ang resulta kay awayon nimo imong uyab/partner, pina-ingon dayon og “adto nalang niya kay mas (insert adjective) man to sya”. In short, hilig ka mag overthink.

3. KUSOG KAAYO KANG MANG STALK - at first tan-awon ra kunohay ang status update, nya, scan-scan sa pictures, sunod tan-awon na nimo kinsa ang mga nglike, nag comment. Masakitan dayon ka kay inig tan-aw nimo sa katong person nga mag sigeg comment/like sa iyang post kay maka self pity napod kay di nimo malikayan nga ecompare imong self, nya ang imong uyab dayon ang imong buthan sa selos nga imo ra pong tinuyaan. Bipolar man siguro ka!

4. KUNG MAS MAG SIGE SIYAG LIKE SA POSTS/PHOTOS SA UBAN KAYSA SA IMOHA - lkinain kana ng sistem kay imong uyab paspas kaayo maka like sa post sa uban pero kung imong post gani kay dili gyud pansinon, bisan etag pa nimo siya usahay. Kung kanus-a ra ka manuko anha pa sya mo like. Lol. grabe pod kaayo ka ka clingy oy.

5. MAKIG-UBAN SYA PIRME SA UBAN KAYSA NIMO - s/he spends most of her/his time sa iyang barkada. Pero kung kamong duha kay pirme postponed, canceled or kadiyot ra inyong panag-uban. Rasonan kag busy. Nya usahay molaag nga siya-siya ra, di pa gyud mananghid or manghagad. Di hapit mo text nimo bisag unli, maypa’s uban kay moreply dayon. Di man sa possessive ka, pero at least naay effort pod ba. Bisag 1 minute call or convo lang na, ma appreciate ra gihapon unta na.

Magselos ta most of time because we know we are replaceable, hadlok ta nga basin ugma damlag, mailisan or mapulihan na ta, mawala na sya nimo/nato. Okay man lang mag selos. Pero ayaw lang pasobra-i, kay usahay baya magselos tungod sa atong pag overthink, tungod sa atong mga “basin”, “abi”, ug mga sayop nga pagto-o. Usahay pod dili tungod wala tay salig niya, but tungod kay wa tay salig sa iyang kuyog or sa tao nga magpalibot niya.

Nganong Dili Dapat Makigbalik sa Ex

51% or over half of Filipinos ang motoo that “Love is sweeter the second time around.” But pila lang pod ka percent sa mga nagbalik ang nahimong successful ang ilang relationship. And it's already too late to realize that if someone shows you who they really are, believe them....................the first time around! So as early as now, say ‪#‎NeverAgain‬ because most of the time, second chances can be an opportunity for someone to disappoint you again.

And here are 10 Reasons nganong dili na dapat makigbalik sa EX.
1. "Maybe we can work it out this time” means “Ang pan-os nga kan-on kay atong initon kay basin pwede pa makaon”. Timan-i, ang pan-os kay paras lamaw sa baboy. Binaboy kana nga, magbinaboy pa gyud ka. Nganong mag antos sa pan-os kung pwede magluto og bag-o?
2. Ang X dili na parihas sa Algebra nga naay mathematical value. Let me just remind you nga nagbulag mo before kay gibaliwala niya ang imong VALUE, either gibiyaan, giilisan, gipasakitan; so dapat ikaw pod, let the value of X be = 0.
3. Maong EX ang tawag nimo niya kay Ex means “no more EXtension sa EXpired ninyong relasyon”. Life itself has an expiration date. As animals, plants and people are born and die, so are moments in time. When the moment has passed, you have to let it go.
4. Kung magbalik nya mag-away napod mo, lupig pa nya ninyo ang construction worker kay inyong kawton pagbalik ang mga sayop nga nabuhat sauna, bisan dili Thursday kay magthrowback namo. Magkwentahay dayon mos inyong mga sala/sayop, maypa mo apply mo’s VECO ana kay himuon mo nila’g kwentador.
5. Option ka lang. Makigbalik imong Ex dili tungod kay maglisod syag move on nimo, but tungod wala nag work ang iyang ipuli/gipuli nimo. Pinagmukha ka na niyang tanga, eprove pa gyud nimo nga sakto sya?
6. Wala pa ka natagam? You can't make people change, they have to want to make the changes themselves. Of course, tandoon kas tanan nimong kondisyon ug mo promise nga mag usab na sya para lang magbalik mo, pero inig balik ninyo, balik pod nas dating gawi. Mura ra gud na og nangapply og trabaho. Pangutan-on ka nig interview og "willing ka mo overtime", “mo work under pressure”, ug uban pa. Syempre mo “yes” jud ka para dawaton. Pero nig trabaho na, moreklamo kay sigeg overtime, mag sige pa gyud yawyaw.
7. Dako ang chance nga mao ra gihapon inyong mga problema nga masugatan ug ang mga rason nga inyong awayan. Di man unta ka lechon, pero nganong mosugot raman ka nga pa tuyok-tuyokon? Kapoy man gani maminaw sa yawyaw ni mama nga balik-balik na, samot na unya kung magbalik mo.
8. Maglisod kag rason sa imong friends and family nganong nagbalik mo. You’re gonna be eating all your words, katong tanang yawyaw nimo about niya, pina-ana pa ka ato nga “dili na lagi ko makigbalik niya”. Kung makatambok pa lang mokaon og words, for sure obese na ka. Not to mention ang imong gasto during sa moving on stage katong pagbuwag ninyo, pila imong gi amot sa tagay, sa pliti sa mga laag para lang maka move on ka niya. Nya, karon magbalik ra diay mo?
9. Duha lang imong option sa kinabuhi. To move forward, or to go backward, and dili pwede dunganon ang duha. How will you improve and grow as a person kung sige kag linger sa imong past? The mistakes of the past should teach us lessons, and as much as possible, it should NEVER be repeated.
10. Dili ka tourist spot nga pwede niya balik-balikan kung kanus-a sya ganahan. Always know your worth. So think before you balik. Ask yourself “deserving ba ko masakitan pag-usab?”, “deserving ba sya nako?” “Is it worth the risk?” If dili, then find someone different. Someone who can show you a different side of life.
Dili tanang EX dili angay na balikan. Naay uban worth it sad balikan. Kay dili man sad tanang higayon nga ang katung EX nimu ang naay sayop, basin ikaw ra'y gahimo og bati maong gabuwag moh. Ayaw ipasangil nya tanan, mas nindut man sad hatagan ug chance ang ubang EX labi na ug tarong siya nga pagkauyab nimo.

One-Sided Love and How To Deal With It

ONE SIDED LOVE AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT
(WARNING: LONG AND PAINFUL)
"To be fair, I won't leave you hanging. So I’m giving you our closure. Hopefully this would me my last chat and our last convo. I'm tired and hurt. Everything I do would just remind you of your ex and your ex best friend whom you fell in love with. I no longer have my identity kay sila pirme imong mahinumduman. Cant you see, they left you. And the person who's here for you and would do everything for you is hurting, you’re hurting. Your eyes are clouded. You don’t see me at all. You see them instead. I don’t feel my presence being appreciated while you mean everything to me. Bisan unsa ko ka busy. I will drop everything just to entertain you. You're the first thing and the last person I talk to everyday. But never was there a time nga ikaw ang ni message og una. I know almost everything about you but never did you ask anything deep about me. Asking is a sign of interest. And I guess you are not interested. Never ko nmo gipangita. Feel nako mura’g samokan ka every time mo chat ko. Now, I ran out of reasons to stay because you never want me to. Guess I should never be a part of your life. Ako ra gipugos akong self. I wish wala nalang tka gi add. I wish wala nlng ta nagkaila. I was helping you then find yourself, but I end up losing myself. Salamat sa time. God bless ____. This is my closure. This is our closure."
Mao ni akong message niya when I finally decided to leave. I left because I know I already did everything. I left because I have to think about myself for a change. I left because I know walay padulngan. Tinuod gyud diay nga usahay kailangan ka mag move on bisan wala nagka kamo. Kailangan nimo buhian bisan wala pa nimo nakuptan. Kailangan nimo humanon bisan wala pa moy nasugdan. Unrequited feelings. One Sided Love. Lain-lain og tawag but same pain, same struggles, same dilemma.
I'm sure we've all been in a position in our lives where we've had feelings or been in love with someone who simply does not share the same view of you.
Kanang mangluod ka kung eseenzoned.
Magselos kung naay laing kuyog or kaestorya.
Hatagan og sweet meaning tanan bisan wala ra to niya.
Masuko kung dugay moreply.
Mangitag importansya, nya uyab mo?
This can be a tough thing to deal with. It is tough, very tough. Ang paghimo palang daan og decision is already a struggle, how much more dealing with its pain and rejection. Maabot ka sa point wherein kailangan ka mo pili, Do you have to let go? Fight for it? Try to change their mind? Play the waiting game? Or possible maabot naka sa point nga ethreaten nimo sya nga maghikog ka kung dili sya ma imoha?
For me, normally, once I find out that my feelings are unrequited, I will slowly let them go. Fighting for it is a TV/movie misconception, blame it sa sige nato’g tan-aw og teleserye and mga hopeless-romantic films. If you’ll come think of it, the time you spend wasting your emotions towards that person is the perfect time you could be spending looking for someone else, someone “better”, someone who might feel the same way too or would reciprocate our feelings.
This is just the first part of the blog, the second part will be about knowing when to walk away from Unrequited Love kay mostly diha ang struggle. For now I will share to you 5 ways on how to deal with unrequited feelings.
1. Be brave. Be brave enough to tell the person how you feel. Kay kung di na nimo ipagawas, motubo na ug mahimong dakong bugas sa imong nawng. Bitaw, walay mawala nimo kung mo tog-an ka, dako ang chance nga rejection imong madawat from the person, however, basin diay the feeling is mutual. Ayaw lang og asa pag ayo.
2. Be busy. Avoid the object of affection. Instead of spending long hours talking to that person, be more productive. The more you get in contact with the person, the deeper the feelings will become. Avoid being stagnant, or wala kay buhaton kay for sure mag hunahuna napod ka niya, ma tintal kag message niya. I know the feeling of acting like you’re busy, but in reality you’re lonely, but you have to do it.
3. Don’t take it personally. Di nato mapugos or masugo atong self kung kinsa atong elove, it’s not for us to decide. Ingon pa’s Jolu B Diago (akong friend), it’s a chemical reaction sa body (endorphin), so it’s a chemistry thing. If dili ka love sa person it doesn't mean that you're unworthy of love, or not good enough, the person may like you, but the feeling of LOVE isn't there. So DON’T blame yourself and the other person.
4. Be realistic. Accept acceptance. Sa 5 steps of grieving apil na sya, acceptance is always the key. Denial man ka pirme, mag sige kag asa nga basin diay pwede mo, basin machange iyang heart magka gusto pod sya nimo. You will just prolong your agony. So better just face the truth and the fact nga wala jud.
5. Know your worth. True love, by definition, needs to be mutual, because it is a shared emotion—a give and take. If you think ikaw ra pirme ang ga sigeg give, and you know for yourself that you deserve to be loved too and be appreciated, then stop what you’re doing. Self-worth is very important para makabalo ka kung asa ka kutob, unsa ra imong dapat buhaton, and what you truly deserve.
Dealing with unrequited feelings can be difficult, so for your own sake, you have to pull yourself together and try to move on.
To be continued...

Travel Tips and Tricks

1. NEVER post pictures of your airline ticket online! - You're giving away your airline, full nameas well as your booking reference - which is everything a person needs to log into your flight reservation online, your online booking not only reveals flight details and in some cases it also shows your ID number, passport number, email address, telephone number and, possibly your credit card details!

2. NEVER wear flip flops or slippers on the plane. Yes, you’re allowed to wear, BUT in the unlikely event of an emergency, it’s best to have a good set of sturdy shoes that will protect your feet from heat or sharp objects.

3. CHEW a gum on board. Chewing gum can help equalize the pressure on your inner ear, although it’s not the gum itself that helps, it’s the actions of chewing and swallowing. Sucking any type of candy will have the same effect in your inner ear.

4. LEARN a little of their dialect. Locals tend to be warm to those who have made the effort to communicate with them in their own tongue. Trust me, few words will go a long way.

5. ALWAYS bring a sarong. It’s not just for fashion purposes. Sarong has many uses, aside that it’s light and multifunctional: something to lie on at the beach, a cover for when you’re cold, a towel, a curtain, a skirt, a dress, even an emergency bandage.

6. ALWAYS bring VICS, White Flower or Tiger Balm. Any of these will not only soothe sore muscles and headaches (for “byahilo”) after a lot of travelling but also works as an insect repellent and remedy for insect bites.

7. DON’T assume. Just because he looks American, doesn’t mean he only speaks English. And just because you’re in Iloilo or Bicol, doesn’t mean they can’t understand your Bisaya! Be wary of mouthing off when you think you’re speaking a language no one around you speaks. You never know who understands what. :)

8. CHECK IN your flight ahead of time. It will save you a lot of time and trouble. With the heavy traffic almost everywhere, you don’t really wanna miss your flight!

9. Plane Magazines are for FREE. They don’t want to tell you this but you can actually bring home the on board magazine placed in front of you. Trivia: I’m currently collecting Cebu Pacific’s monthly issue of their SMILE magazine, maybe you wanna start collecting, too.



10. JUST GO! If you have a strong urge to ‘go travelling’ or even just to see one specific place, start saving and go for it! Don’t delay. Don’t defer. Just do it, or you will regret it when you’re too old/attached/busy to travel.

13. Kay na intriga man ka kinsa ang kuyog sa imong EX, so imo pong gi stalk og apil. Duha ray padulngan ana, either mo-ingon kas imong self nga "mas gwapa/gwapo paman ko ani" or magka assassination thoughts ka ala How To Get Away with Murder.

4 Ways to Get Closure
Kasagaran sa mga relasyon karon, magsugod sa Pick-Up Line, matapos sa Hugot Line. Samot na kung bad break up, samot na kung walay Closure. For sure magbaha jud ang ampalaya posts all over your newsfeed.

The first part of my Closure blog was all about expressing your gratitude, releasing the pain, and accepting the fact that things didn’t and won’t workout for the two of you anymore; and all youwanted is a closure. Or maybe to some, a Closure is just the end of book 1 and the beginning of your book 2, that is if you’re still planning to give the person a 2nd chance. Either way, our common ground is we’re looking for that Closure. Kay para nato, Closure maoy makatubag sa atong mga pangutana, sa atong mga “Ngano?”, nganong mibiya ka’g kalit?, nganong wala naka nagparamdam?, nganong ing-ana kadali ko nimo gipulihan?, nganong nabuhat to nimo? Nganong giblock/unfriend dayon ko nimo’s Facebook without further explaining your side?

So this second part will be all about “How to get the Closure that we want”, either ihatag niya or pwede ikaw mismo ang mohatag sa imong self.

So, how to get Closure?

1. MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR EX - kana kung ang sinugdan or ang foundation sa inyong relationship kay friends mo kaayo before mo nagka-uyab. Then naay dakung chance nga magka friends ra mo’g balik. Just like me and some of my Exs. Friendship is probably one of the best ways to get a closure from your EX. Pero kung inyong pagka-uyab dinalian, like dili strong ang foundation, lisod na sya mahitabo. Sa kana nga case, an ex does not make a true friend, especially immediately after the breakup and especially he/she was never your close friend at the start, because s/he used to be just one of your random friends nya nagkadevelopay mo, nagka char-char, nya nagkakamo na dayon.
So, as much as possible, try to build a healthy friendship instead of a toxic relationship. 

2. PASAYLOA IMONG EX - despite unsay rason nganong nagkabuwag mo, pasayloa sya. Dili tungod deserving sya, but because you deserve peace of mind. Yes, it might be difficult nga mapsaylo sya samot na kung ing-ana ka grabe iyang gibuhat nimo, wala lang siguro ka na inform nga animal imong na uyab, dili tao; so forgive him/her. So tangtanga sa imong pride kadali, your pride to say sorry, and your pride to accept apology bisan wala pa sya nangayo’g sorry nimo. Kung mahimo na nimo, you can say nga mature na ka, your bad experience with him/her made you a better person and you begin to think of the brighter side of things.

3. LET IT GO - dili na sya kutob ra’s kanta ni Elsa, sa imong kinabuhi gamita. Letting go is probably ang pinaklisod pero mao poy pinaka effective way to get closure. Don’t consume yourself sa bati nga nahitabo ninyo, aside nga mobati imong nawng kung mohilak ug magmaoy ka, lingering in your past relationship won’t help you. It will just kill you inside. So, try to focus sa mga positive sides sa imong kinabuhi, your friends, your family, your pet, career, you can travel, write a blog, or better write a song like Adele and Taylor Swift, kana, makakwarta pa ka. Isubmit dayon na nimo’s VisPop, basin mosikat na next to Haha Hasula.

4. PAGBALIK MO - Although advocate ko’s “Thou Shall Not Make Balik with Your Ex” kay na tagam nako, but probably, pwede sya para nimo, para ninyo. I know maka relate ta’s usag-usa most of the time, however, lahi-lahi man atong personal experiences, kay mag depende sa tao ug sadagan sa inyong relasyon, kay usahay, if nahigugma gyud ta’s usa ka tao, the time that we were apart, makes us realize nga love jud diay to nimo ang person. So, possible nga ang pagbalik is a closure, too.

There is no pain-free way to break up with someone. Kitang tanan, at some point in our life, would experience a heartbreak and a heartache. Mao sigurong gitudloan ta og “Close-Open” pagkabata nato dili lang tungod para sa atong kamot, para pod siguro sa atong kasing-kasing. If we learn to “Open” our hearts, we also need to learn how to “Close” it. Till my next blog. Thank you.

I don't want you back. I just need closure.

Galisod bitaw ko kung unsaon ni nako pagsugod.
Sama kalisod katong nag-ila-ila pa ta.
Sama kalisod sa pagpanghid nako ni mama/papa nga manglaag ta. 
Sama kalisod sa pag message nako nimo’g una aron mangutana kung “kumusta na ka?”.
Lisod kaayo ‘tong tanan, pero ngano sayon-sayon raman ko nimong gibiyaan?
Ing-ana pod ba kalisod moingon og “Sorry”, “Goodbye”, ug "Salamat sa tanan”? Nga sa kalit ikaw nahanaw, ug di na makit-an?
Saktong CLOSURE raman unta akong gipangayo, ultimo kana dili ko kahangyo?

Even though makaingon ta nga naka move on ug naka let go nata, ug di na nato kailangan ang closure, maabot ra jud ta sa point nga makahunahuna og balik sa tanan. Kay usahay, we don’t really move on man jud bah, we just distract ourselves to get things going. We try to be okay bisan dili ing-ana kasayon, to be left hanging, with so many questions left unanswered. S/he asked you to take care of your heart, but s/he turned out breaking yours instead.

Usahay, especially kung kanang ikaw ra usa ug wala kay gibuhat, makapangutana nalang kas imong kaugalingon kung tinuod ba to’ng inyoha. Kung tinud-anay pod ba to’ng iyaha.

PARA SA MGA NANGITAG CLOSURE. 
Bisan og ang iyang “sorry” dili mahimong enough to alter/correct his/her mistakes and even though it won’t fix you, maka ingon ko nga CLOSURE is a start.

CLOSURE RA AKONG GIPANGITA.
Ex, Ayaw kaguol.
Nagbuwag man ta nga walay klaro,
Usa ra akong klarohon nimo.
I’m not asking you to come back.
Natagam nako. So #NeverAgain.
Gusto ra unta ko makabalo kung asa ko nasayop ug nagkulang.
Gibusog man unta tikas gugma, pero wala ko na inform nga patay-gutom man diay ka.
Gusto ko makadungog sa imong “Pasayloa ko”
Dugay nako ganahan mo chat, mo text ug makigstorya nimo.

DAGHAN KONG ANGAY ESULTI NIMO.
I wanted to say sorry. Sorry for being too much and not enough at the same time.
Sorry kung akong gipugos nga magbalik ta.

I wanted to say I have forgiven you. For giving up on me, on us, even if all I ever did was fight for you, for us. Gipasaylo na tika sa imong pagpamakak, apil napod imong pagkamanyak, for cheating on me, for taking me for granted. BUT I STILL NEED TO KNOW THE REASONS WHY. 
AND LASTLY, thank you. Thank you for letting me think I was in love. That it was all real. Wala ko gamahay kay daghan kong nakat-onan.

I’m not expecting for a response from you. I just hope that maybe one day, you’ll clear this up for me. Maybe ikaw mismo ang unang mo reach out nako. But for now, I’ll leave you with this.

Kung asa man ka karon, ug kung nag-unsa man ka karon, just know that I’m broken, still broken, and looking for that one missing piece, OUR CLOSURE.
-- to be continued next week

9 Signs nga gi-ilad ra ka niya

Unsay kwenta sa April Fools’ Day, kung taga-adlaw ilaron naka pirme?
So, here are 9 possible signs nga gi-ilad ra kas imong uyab.

1. Dili Mananghid - Kung mangutana ka kung asa sya, iyang tubag kay “Basta”, usahay maglagot pa. Usahay pod anha pa sya mananghid kung naa na sya sa venue mismo, irrelevant na kay wala nakay mahimo.

2. Murag Single Kung Magpost sa Facebook - Taudtaod namo’ng uyab pero iyang profile pic kay iyang pet, igsoon, siya, basta never pa kamong duha. Kung mo upload sya og photo nga naa ka kay kuyog pod ang mga barkada. #Groufie lang pirme ang inyong peg. Kung imo pod syang e-tag sa pic ninyong duha, dili automatic mapost sa iyang timeline kay naka filter ang Timeline for review.

3. UnliBi (Unlimited Alibis) - di mahutdan og rason nga dili sya pwede, dili sya kakuyog. Kesyo di sugtan sa mama, or sa papa kay mas stricto, naa pa sya’s gihimo, naglain iyang lawas, basta di mahutdan. Duha lang jud na ka rason nganong dili pwede, it’s either NOT FEELING WELL, or NOT TELLING WELL, and most of the time, it’s the latter.

4. Sobra ka Paasa - Mura’g kandidato, e-spoil usa ka sa mga saad, nya, nig maabot na ang adlaw nga gisabotan, back to reason # 3, UnliBi. Same routine most of the time, Promise - Asa - Reason (Repeat). Ayaw anang tao nga sigeg Promise, Promises are meant to be broken. Look for a person who can give you ASSURANCE, kay SURE pa ka, naa pakay INSURANCE, insurance if something gets broken.

5. Daghan og cellphone, or sim - maybe ang uban naay valid reason ngano, but, magduda kang ilad ra anag tanan kung sa kadaghan niyag cellphone ug sim, dugay gihapon kaayo sya ka reply nimo.

6. Moody - wala man unta sya dug-a, pero grabe ka moody. Mokalit lang og paramdam, mokalt lang og kawala, basta, tanan kalit-kalit, dili naka kasabot usahay. But if almost every night na sya dili magparamdam nimo or daghan syang alibi especially 6pm onwards, pagduda na.

7. Uno Palabra - kung kasagaran response niya nimo thru chat or text kay 1 word lang, like K, mao ba, haha, basta one word, pagduda na pod, he or she no longer finds you interesting, ngita nanag laing lingaw or kalingaw.

8. Makig Cool-off - ang tao nga bugnaw na ganig tinagdan, nya makig cool off pa jud, mangahi na, sa lain na magitag painit. Once mag Cool off namo, you’re good as single na.

9. Kalimtanon na - kalimot na sya’s inyong normal routine, mga dates or special days, mabantayan nimo nga moseryoso lag og kalit nya lawm kaayog gihunahuna, makalimot usahay sa inyong tawganay, he/she calls you by name unconsciously or worst, laing name/endearment.

Kung maka uyab kag ing-ani, ayaw intawn dayon BUWAGI, obserbahi ug pa imbistigahi usa, nya ug sayop ni, ayaw intawn pod ko pasanginli. These are just hypothetical signs, uban based on my personal experiences.
Maybe sayop ni, pero better na nga magmatngon ug mangandam ta. Ang mga taong ing-ani, dili na mo ila’g April Fools’ day, wa uroy na sila gaba-i. So, mga Dzae ug mga Dzong, kung kabalo nakang gi-ilad ka, ayaw na tawn pag buta-buta, bungol-bungol, manhid-manhid, UG ayaw na intawn baliki, dili intawn ka makadawat og Loyalty Award sa imong pagka martir. And remember, the best weapon to tell if someone is fooling you around is your instinct and guts. Mga Dzae ug Dzong, don’t settle for less, you deserve better! You deserve to be happy!
