The Life of Kye

Though I sympathize with the employees, I really don't buy all the drama being circulated about ABS-CBN signing off. We understand that a lot of people are so emotionally invested in "teleserye's" and "artista's" and you have every right to voice out your frustration. By all means, rant to your heart's content. Free speech. It's your right.

Here in the Philippines, when we say "trip trip lang" it means to do something spontaneous. It is something you do without any reason or thought: like when I suddenly decide to dip calamari in chocolate ice cream. It seems like a great idea at the time. It doesn't matter if in the end the calamari-ice cream will taste surprisingly good or, as expected, gross.

My husband... having an affair with the TV. **Just kidding** ...But he really misses watching TV. Happy rainy season to all! As expected in the greater Manila area, rain showers and thunderstorms are coming in. Classes are suspended. Floods conquer some of the streets. A tornado has also been spotted this month. Yikes! What better time to book a staycation than a rainy day? And also, our free accommodation voucher is about to expire in a week. We decided to FINALLY use our voucher to avail of the free accommodation in Astoria Plaza in Ortigas.

Since we won't agree on faith and beliefs, I'll try my best to express my opinions in the most secular way possible. See the news: Tagle issues 'oratio imperata' for incoming gov’t officials Oratio Imperata has already been implemented in Catholic churches in Metro Manila, and other municipalities in the country. It's a specific prayer for the government recited during the mass. I'm basing this information from the news. I think you'll agree The government NEEDS prayers. Prayers work wonders if you have faith. Implementation of Oratio Imperata: A Political Move?

My bedroom window is facing their lot.) We got used to them having parties late at night, especially on holidays. I immediately thought, "May videoke na naman sa kabila." [They're going to have a karaoke party again.]  I went downstairs to do some chores. At around 6:00 PM, the party had begun. I wasn't bothered at all because I planned to sleep downstairs anyway. My parents and my brother will be going to the cemetery...

I have three basic needs: Food, shelter and... Wifi! Not kidding about the wifi... but let's talk about shelter. I lived in Pasay City within Metro Manila my whole life. I have seen some places within Luzon island but only stayed for only a week or less. I would love to explore the Philippines; all 7,107 islands of it, if God will allow. The perfect shelter, for me, has to be a place where I can totally be myself. It must embody both comfort and adventure, and a little bit of whimsy. I want my ideal home (homes) to be my piece of paradise on Earth. In finding the best properties, here are my major considerations: LOCATION. If possible, the property must be near the airport, or seaport or ferry station for greater accessibility and convenient travel.  PRIVACY. I prefer properties that are not too close to the hustle and bustle of the city. If the property is outside Metro Manila, it must have a sense of seclusion from the outside world.
