-- Lots of catching up to do.

I'm going to start with our dog, Lala. She's what you can see up there. Yes, that cute little babe. You won't recognise her now though with that photo. My brother, a**hole that he is, shaved off most of her fur. Apparently because they got tired of untangling her matted hair. She's still a babe and as sweet as ever but I just hope my brother wouldn't be as a**hole as he always has been.

So, Lala. My brother might be an a-hole but he was actually the one who brought home our baby. She was a lost dog. She may have been left behind by her previous owner and we think she has fear of being left because she loves so much being accompanied when we go out. She always hangs around the door when she can see us readying to leave the house. She gets on the family van before everybody else. And when I ride my scooter, she gets on first before I do. One time, we let her in a Yamaha store and when she saw us checking out a bike, she got on, maybe thinking we were getting on it too. It's cute. She's very, very cute.

I could write on and on about Lala, maybe fill up the whole page just about her. But there are other things I'd like to share too.

One other is about our trip to Cebu. I read somewhere that if you want something to come true, don't share it to anybody. But I think that's bullshit. I know for a fact that when I want something bad enough, no sayings can stop me. It's about setting your mind to something, working hard for it and not stopping till you reach your goal.

We're going to Cebu on June 10-12. I can only afford up to six people in my budget so that will be my parents and 3 of my sibs. I hope the others can come but that's doubtful. It's most of my family's first plane trip *keeping my fingers crossed haha.

I haven't saved up for the trip yet but I will find a way. I always do.

I'm continuing this post sitting on a storefront in front of a McDonald's by a busy road. Sometimes, you find peace in a noisy place.

A lot has happened since my latest post. One of those I already posted yesterday *insert heart*.

Roger Federer. Would you believe if I told you he won another major at the start of the season? Yes, the Australian Open. I never really gave up on him but I think in my heart, I already accepted the fact that his every game was slowly going through the door to retirement. He came off a very long rest, his longest hiatus from tennis which started from middle of last year, and he came back stronger than ever. What can I say? GOAT.

-- Day 2

I'm starting to notice things about myself too. One is how I'm becoming more and more forgetful each day. And how I seem to lack regards for most things. Sometimes, I ask myself why I don't care as much as I did before and find no answer.

One of the things I do start to care about is my future. Early signs of getting older, or probably just growing up. I had already completed payment of a property - i.e. lot - last December. I'm officially a lot owner at 25 years old. It's not that big of a deal but still it's another milestone. I still have to build my dream home though. Wait for it.

Another completion of payment I've done is with my scooter, which sadly looks old these days. I gotta change that soon.

Last and definitely not the least but probably the shakiest *pun intended*, is the big earthquake (6.7 M) that happened in the city of Surigao, where I was at the time it happened. It was a Friday. I meant to go home to Butuan but for some reason I got lazy. So it happened. I'd never been more frightened in my life. I thought it was the end. And it was for some people as there were also casualties.

I'm doing a part two of this so whatever else I'm going to write will be in there.

See you.
