I just wanna get used to You

Someone like You

Home and Away

When the sun is up and the cool breeze whistling down on your face, it would most probably be a good day to take a breather and drive up to the mountains. A couple of weeks ago, my closest friends and I drove up to the cold mountains around the outskirts of the city where our buddy's rest house lay. The one and a half hour drive to the mountain did not feel like it was a long drive because when you have friends that mock around and make fun of all the weird unusual things you pass by during the trip, they tend to make the long hour drive a hell of a laugh trip. 

When we thought that everything would work out alright as planned, the unexpected happened. The car that I was riding broke down and lost its acceleration as we were starting to drive up the mountain. We really did not know what caused the damage but our theories have concluded that we might have been jinxed by our girl buddy - she's being a paranoid since the time we took off and she was actually riding in the car where we were all comfortably seating at. I still love her though she's actually like that (laughs). Fortunately, our buddy's mom drove by coincidence and switched cars with her - she is so sweet and apparently she owns the car we were using as well. Even though we went through all of that trouble, we were still in smiling faces, calm and happy - I really don't know what our paranoid-ish friend felt all through that trouble (evil laugh).

Basically, this breather can be be but to simpler words that can actually describe the whole trip. A Buffet. For snacks, we got bags and bags of Lays, buns, bread chocolates, assorted chips, name it! 

Dinner: 

Crabs

grilled tuna belly and squid

chicken soup

Whole medium sized roast pig

Pork on tofu

Breakfast:

Scrambled Eggs

Tocino

Sausage

Corned Beef

LEFT OVERS

Lunch:

Crabs

Grilled Shrimps

Sautéed Roast Pig

Grilled Marinated Boneless Milf Fish

Adobo - Filipino Dish

Its like a the whole restaurant's menu. Don't even get me started with the desserts.

There are really cool sights and places near the rest house around the mountains. Like this piece of "Art" created by Davao's most famous artist... Kublai. 

There's this one rest house where in you can actually pay to take a dip in their swimming pool which unfortunately was recently drained when we went in. Whoever the owner of that house is surely a fan of spongebob's.

And lastly, as the afternoon was slowly setting down, we cooled off by drinking freshly made strawberry shakes at "Nowhere Diner and Cafe". I literally don't know where the place was located over in the mountains, so I guess I can say that Diner can nowhere to be found. Actually, their shakes were really good and has fresh strawberries mixed up together for a very economic price. This "Nowhere Diner" has a cowboy theme and that is why all the boys had their cowboy hats on and I was their damsel in distress, as seen in the picture below.

It was really a weekend getaway to remember. Away from all the harmful smogs and busyness of the city, it sure was a fattening yet unforgettable time with friends.

We had a smooth ride all the way back home and didn't had any bumps along the road. We counted a total of more than 15 horses back and forth and majority of them were female horses. Just a random thought. 

This poor buddy of ours must be sleep deprived. I wonder why.

I had my jay-jays shirt and my khaki blazer on top for a casual get-up and matched it with brown RB wayfarer sunnies. Practically, this get-up does not work on a normal sunny day because the temperature can reach to about 30-32degrees on a normal day. Ideally, I would suit this up to events and nightlife parties, and I would say that the wayfarer sunnies best suits me to get that classic look. The clothes I am wearing are not part of the collection. They are personally owned by me.

A Lyric for the Broken Hearted

Break my Heart in Two

Lyrics by: Francis Nikolo Bulaun

I keep thinking about the days when we're still together

And all the times we just hold each other's hands

But I wonder why did it fade away

I didn't get to even hear you say...

I still remember all the Promises you have said

And now I can't keep you out of my Head

But I wonder why did it fade away

I didn't get to even hear you say... goodbye

I keep walking alone

'Cause this feeling's just too strong

You told me you'd stay

And when I came back

I prayed you'd wait

'Cause you made me feelin'

Feeling like oh so true

But at the end I found out

You can't help but break my heart in two

How could you say all those things

And didn't even know what you mean

But I wonder why did it fade away

I didn't get to even hear you say...

You left me hanging by a thread

Now I'm just left alone with no Regrets

And I still wonder why you went away

All I wanted was to hear you say...

Composition is already done but still needs to be recorded for a studio version.
