ZippoFippo being a Dog mom for two weeks

 I never thought a time would come that I would have a chance to be a dog mom even for a brief period. I mean, yes I always wanted to have a dog of my own but I am not yet ready for now and also I'm a bit irresponsible and lazy so how can I take care of another living thing aside myself??? My neighbor and a friend have a dog and I see how she takes care of it like a kid and the time she spent with her dog takes a lot of time. So I was thinking that it's not yet for me to have my own dog. Aside from all the things that she does for her dog, there's also the finances. From buying the food, to vet visit to peepad and other dog stuff. I can't barely support myself cuz I always fell short with my finances. I am still blessed for all the provisions that God has given me, that's why I'm not really struggling. And lastly, I'm not yet ready to have my own dog as I am an ex-pat and in the future, I will go home in my country and how am I gonna bring my dog back home? I am scared of flying and how am I gonna survive having a dog and all when traveling. So thinking all these things I am sure not to get a dog while I'm here in Thailand. But then this tiny baby pup came to us. It was meant for my friend since she's a dog mom. To make the story short the owner of the pup abandoned him and so they tried to find him a new home. A co-teacher who knew that my friend is dog mom decided to give it to my friend we were a mess cause it came unexpectedly and it was that time that I won in a K-pop event, so we were just so happy and excited when the pup came we were like what are we gonna do with it, my friend suggested that I took it but I refused as I've said I'm not yet ready. So she said she will take care of it and will try to find a home for him. But for two straight nights, Max (that's what she named him) was crying in the middle of the night and so my friend was losing it (hahaha). She was so determined to give him back to those people who gave it to us. So I offered to take him at night so they could get some sleep. When Max was with me we were fine. He didn't cry and I just let him be. But I didn't really get a lot of sleep as I am checking on him from time to time. He was so tiny and super cute. We survived our first night and so I was ready for our second night but a friend came by and sort of connected with our baby boy so he said he will try to take care of him for a week and see how it goes and he fell in love with our Maxie. Finally, our Maxie found a new home, but we really miss him too. 

When Max's dad needs to go to another province for a week he asked me to take care of him and of course, I said yes but at the same time I am worried. I'm not sure if I can take care of him that long. To be honest I was a mess the first few days. I even stopped doing my exercise and it kind of threw me out of my routine. But I just love the fact that Max is waiting for me every time I come home from work. I didn't show it but I was always excited to go home and play with him (hahaha). Maybe because he's so cute that I can't do anything other than watching him or playing with him or cuddle him (hahaha).  I never cleaned my room that much when I was alone but when Max was staying with me I had to mop my floor twice just so it won't smell bad inside. I would say he took most of my time but I didn't really mind. I was still finding the balance of having a dog living with me. 

The second week of having him was a bit easy cause we were able to make a routine. I have trained him with the pee pad, it took off a lot of work once he can pee and poop on his pee pad. Trained him a bit with the "sit down" routine. He's so cute!!!! He's very playful and he likes to bite things. I had a lot of scratches cuz of him. He bit me so many times but only soft bites.  There are times he's fine with cuddle time but there are times that he doesn't even want to play with me (hahaha). He's kind of moody too. And he eats a lot!!! like super a lot (hahaha) maybe because he's growing that's why. Those two weeks proved that I can take care of another living thing aside myself (hahaha). Max came just the right time when our family lost a very dear member. He helped me not to wallow on the despair and the grief. Because of him, I was able to accept my dear uncle's death with little less pain in my heart. While the rest of my family had been crying and just thinking of the sad things I was busy taking care of Max. He definitely helped me cope up with the sadness. He became a good distraction during those trying times. While he was with me everyone was telling me to officially adopt him, but I told them that he's dad wants him back and I can't just take him from his dad.  And so here I am missing him every day.

 Whoa never thought I would survive those weeks. I think I have been a little bit more responsible during those weeks (hahaha). When I go home for good I would definitely get a dog. 

Here are some of our photos:

Fangirl Journal (ATEEZ Story)

    I have been fangirling with this K-pop group ATEEZ for the past months, just when I was lying low in my fangirling one random video on youtube had fired up the fangirl in me. I guess it's true "once you're a fangirl you will always be a fangirl". I remember being on hiatus in K-pop and fangirling, in general, I was just gonna retire cuz I was just not into K-pop for almost two years but then DAY6 came and brought me back to life (hahaha, just kidding) brought me back to the world of K-pop / K-music and here I am still a fangirl. 

    So going back to ATEEZ... Why am I writing this? Something good happened so it had me started this blog entry but I have been thinking of this entry for the past week but for some reason, I didn't start it yet until today (hahaha).  We have this "eureka" moment, that is when we discover a K-pop group to stan. For me, I remember all my "eureka' moments with all the groups I stan. So I'm gonna start with ATEEZ.  I was doing my lesson plan and decided to play Pentagon's Shine MV and you know how youtube does the auto play and it would play random videos, as I was typing/doing my lesson plan this unfamiliar beat came and it's good I immediately opened youtube to check it out and BAAM the blue ocean welcomed me and as a beach lover, it really had me!!! then came these unfamiliar faces on the screen. When I checked the title it was "ATEEZ-WAVE". 

I'm gonna be honest on my first opinion/impression/thoughts with some of  the members:

(I screenshot the exact moment where they made an impression)

Yunho 

"Whoa what a hair color" "Hmmm I wonder if he's done some plastic surgery" "He's too handsome"

"It could be the nose and the eyes"

Seonghwa

"Whoa! hold up! he's sexy!!!" "Yoh! he looks like EXO Kai" "I wonder if he's the main visual"

Mingi

"Whoaaaa that deep voice!!!!" "Low tone rapper huh? they don't get a lot of them, hmmm interesting"

This really had me miss my beach days!!!! I cri

San

Whooow! That's sexy! (Thinking that Seongwha and San are the same people hahaha) 

Hongjoong 

Yow! He kind of look like SCoup from Seventeen

Yeosang

Ohhh he kind of reminds me of Joshua from Seventeen. Hmmm, he must be half like half western - half Korean. 

Bonus

Who is that kid in the front holding the videocam??? Then I realize it was the same "Sexy" kid. 

Whoa, the difference! (He sure is the king of duality)

This shot is so pretty!!!!!

As for Wooyoung and Jongho they didn't really make an impression for me, it took time for me to notice them and like them. We always have that moment where we don't notice some members at first but ended up liking them. 

Seonghwa and San had me curious about them so I started searching their profile assuring myself and my friend Taylor that I will never stan a new group that I don't have the energy anymore, that I should be loyal to my groups (Day6 and Pentagon)  that I would just listen to Wave and enjoy it, that I would just enjoy their music without stanning them and Oh well all of it was thrown out the window (hahaha) as I ended up in the rabbit hole. 

ATEEZ made this pandemic a bit better for me and they brought me and my co-workers happiness (I got two of my co-teachers got into ATEEZ hahaha) and strength during those tiring days of doing a school project. We would spend our break time watching their videos and it would refresh us. So for me, ATTEZ is gonna be special because I got to know them during a trying time. 

(Both my co-teachers don't know anything about K-pop, it's their first time to be a fangirl!)

Here's a link of the bloopers for our school project:

Fangirling with ATEEZ captured (hahaha)

ATEEZ is such a powerful performer but it took time for me to notice that, I have always love NCT when it comes to performance, Taeyong and Mark have been my fave performer in K-pop but then ATEEZ came and they definitely killed all their stages. As I go deeper I realize that all K-pop groups give their 100% in every performance BUT Yoh! ATEEZ gives their 200% in all their performance then it struck me Choi San is on another level (hahaha) you know what they say "the devil works hard but Choi San works harder" Hala Hala and Wonderland highlighted his performance skills. I even checked out all their stages from debut to their latest stage just to see when did he evolved (hahaha). He was kind of evolving in Say my Name but he really evolved in Hala Hala. He's a freakin performance beast! Sometimes there are weak members when it comes to performance, maybe because he's the main vocal so he couldn't dance or move a lot, or for whatever reason, there's that member that's kind of weak in performance but for ATEEZ they are all performers, and it's a good thing that their company really trained them to be a performance-based group. 

    As for the good thing that happened to me, I got chosen to one of the ATEEZ events for their Comeback Showcase concert. It's a sing-along contest for one of their songs, the thing is I have been practicing that song for a month now cuz I really love the song and I found easy guitar chords for it. 

When I saw the announcement I told myself that I have to send an entry even though I don't have a good singing voice and my guitar playing is mediocre (hahaha). So I sent it without regrets and also not really hoping cause I know I won't get chosen. Then I kind of forgot about it (hahaha), on the day I got the email I was really torn between buying their album or buying the ticket for the online comeback concert, I know I'm a poor fangirl so I just need to choose one. So I chose the album and wistfully thinking I could watch the concert. I got home then I remember to check my email just in case, it won't hurt to at least check it (hahaha). BAAAMMM! I got chosen! Good thing I was in my room I just shouted and did a celebratory jump (hahaha) ran to my friend's room (she's one of the co-teacher) and shared the good news we were just so excited about it. 

What surprised me was there's a prize! I sent it without knowing there would be any! So yep, Zippo Fippo is gonna watch the concert for free!!!!! Yooohoooo

Here's a link of my MV react to that song "FROM" but I trimmed it down because of the copyright issue, such a downer! 

And that's my ATEEZ story. How bout you what's your ATEEZ story?

P.S.

I might do this with DAY6 and PENTAGON too and maybe with BTOB too. :)

Here's my MV reaction for INCEPTION

Missing Home

I am always torn between living my life to the fullest and going home to my folks and spend time with them and serve them, not because it's my obligation but because I really wanna do it. As I am working overseas I don't get a lot of time and chances to spend time with my family. I can't remember when I started feeling this way. I just realize one day that I wanna retire from the outside world and go home and spend the rest of my living days being with my old folks in our little village. But at the same time, I wanna see pieces of the world. I wanna experience things, I wanna travel more and my ultimate goal is to visit Switzerland and the countryside of Italy. I wanna see more concerts and fulfill my fangirl goals. I wanna laze around in beautiful, off the beaten path islands. So you see, I'm really torn. And the fact that I cannot retire because I'm broke and I don't have the right to go home and be a bum (hahaha). Also if I don't work I cannot provide for my family, ugh the life of the poor (hehehe)

Because of the NCov-19 I didn't go home for my summer break. I was supposed to go home and spend my summer break with my family, it was unplanned but our dearest uncle is sick and my sister and my cousins decided to send me back home for summer break. To be honest I don't like riding the airplane and I was worried how am I gonna survive my journey home alone and with fear of flying. It was stressing me out,  but I was still willing to do it for the love of my family and just to see our sick uncle. Oh well, just weeks before my flight the pandemic broke and the world shut down so are airports and flights were canceled. Countries closed their borders and they just locked down. I was relieved that it was canceled before my schedule because I realize if I went home then it will leave us with no extra income and I might get trap there, a lot of Filipinos that went home to the Philippines are having a hard time coming back here in Thailand. Now is the time that we need money to sustain our family's needs and our sick uncle's medication. So I'm thankful that I didn't get to go home. I am still blessed to keep my job amidst the pandemic and the mass lay off and mass firing. They cut our school allowance but at least we still get paid for our basic salary. It is not enough but I survived, I got to eat and buy things and I was able to support my family. I am just waiting for this pandemic to be over, for a cure or vaccine I will take the first chance I get to go home in the Philippines.

The day I became a WEAKLING!

So, last year I got some misfortunes and I wrote about it in one of my blog posts. 

I wasn't prepared for what other people think about me after all of these misfortunes. I thought when I healed everything will be fine like nothing happened. But what I didn't know is that the people around me think otherwise. They now see me as a damsel in distress and a weakling. At first, I thought it was because I was still healing, but it will be a year soon and I am totally healed but they still think that I am this vulnerable person and again a weakling. Well, you see I use to be this strong person (that's how they see me) physically. In our department whenever there are things that are heavy and needed to be lifted they always rely on me. But now when I lift something they would always remind me of my injured hand and that they would always take it from me. They never fail to remind me to be careful and all. I do appreciate it but sometimes it kind of annoys me, I mean I know that I got injured and that I need to be careful, they don't have to remind me every time about it. I have these friends who are always worried whenever I lift things or carry a lot of things. Even though I was using the other hand they still think I'm too weak to carry it. As simple as walking, going down, or up the stairs or doing something using my hand they would always remind me to be careful or again they would do it themselves. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's annoying. Ugh, I really didn't expect it to be like this.

Well maybe I needed reminding, I don't know really. Just last week I slipped on a slippery floor. The funny thing was I reminded myself to be careful and not to walk on the part but...yeah I still did walk on the part and baaam I slipped. Like how on earth I am like this. It always happens to me. I hate it. To be honest I feel like I will be the cause of my own demise. Seriously sometimes it scares me. Just how many times I dodge being hit by a vehicle but what if I won't be fast or quick or lucky next time. I got hit once and I am hoping against hope it won't happen again. I seriously need to upgrade my focus and attention whenever I'm outside and especially crossing the streets. It is because more often than not my mind would just automatically wander or just in dazed with my surrounding. I should really improve myself in terms of being alert and aware. I love mindless walking but I think I should not practice it. 

Oh well, I just want to let it out, what I feel about these people thinking that I'm a weakling and it's no use telling them that I'm fine because they already marked me as such. 

Surviving this Pandemic (Ncov-19) (Fear and Paranoia amidst the pandemic)

Months ago I didn't have any idea what  "coronavirus" was. Just before the Ncov-19 really broke out I was sick, I and my sister caught the flu. We had a fever and coughing really bad, she's got asthma and I got bronchitis we had this while other countries have been already hit by the virus. I was confident it was not the Ncov-19 cuz during that time it was just in Wuhan, China. But as they announced the symptoms of the Ncov-19 I got worried because the symptoms are so similar to my bronchitis which I would have every now and then. Sore throat, fever, body pain, you see I get sick almost most of the time and these are normal for me. I dread getting sick on normal days how much more now that my usual sickness got the same symptoms as the Ncov-19 (sigh). 

I didn't really pay attention to SARS and MERS before because I didn't feel its effect in my everyday life, and it kind of feel like no virus could reach our far away little village. When the news of the NCOV-19 broke out I still didn't pay much attention to it, well the thought of "it's happening in other countries" gave the assurance that it won't reach where I am. But things blew up and suddenly people who got infected are all over the place. I stay here in Thailand in one of its provinces which is 4 hours away from Bangkok. When the first case was confirmed in Bangkok that's when reality hit me, this is getting serious. I think when it was first broke out everything was so scary and everyone was panicking and scared and paranoia started kicking in. The thought of going out and being exposed outside was scary and some people started locking down themselves at home even before the official announcement was out. With little information about NCov-19 we all feared what it could do. The exaggerated information, misinformation, and too many fake news feed people's paranoia. I've seen people panic buying cause I was there (lol) did I panic buy? nope, I was buying in bulk for something else but for sure I sure look like panic buying too. (lol). Funny cause every time there was a big announcement that made people panic buy I sure always there again bulk buying but not for me. (hahaha) 

When the government here announces the curfew and restrictions and closing down the public it really scared me. The uncertainty of everything started to kick in and I was like "what am I gonna do?" When other schools closed and started the work from home policy, I expect our school to follow. So just to be sure I bought groceries worth for a month, and mentally preparing myself to isolate and all. But nope! we didn't get that isolation thing happened (lol) we were required to still report in school for the whole month of March. Well so much for mentally preparing for isolation (hahaha). When the month of April comes they said we can work from home BUT we still need to scan in in the morning and after that, we can go home and do our work, HAHAHA amazing right???? again so much for isolation. We had cases here in our province, so my routine was my place and school. I would wake up early in the morning scan in and go back to sleep. (good thing my place is just minutes away from school). Then I change my routine, I went back to running, then scan in, then home. For a month that has been my routine, to be honest, we didn't feel like we were on lockdown, like other places. There are businesses that are close but most of the small businesses are open and people are still out and about. I was surprised to see that, cause I thought everyone was isolating. 

Thailand has been doing everything they can to combat this pandemic, watching the updates every day made me updated what's happening in this country. Good thing that they have updates in English, I really appreciate it. As I am writing this, there have been no cases in our province and zero death all over Thailand. (June 13, 2020). Thailand has flattened the curve but there are people who believe that somehow it's not accurate. The situation here now in Thailand is almost back to normal. They have lifted the restrictions, but they are following the "new normal" now. People need to wear masks, social distancing (which is not followed) I went to the malls this week, I think social distancing is hard to follow as people tend to walk closer and stand closer to each other. There are hand sanitizers everywhere and also they have this app where people need to check-in and check out, I think it easy to track people just in case there are gonna be cases again. Just in case you cannot use your handphone they have a logbook where people can write. They also check the temperature before going inside any establishments. I know that almost everything is getting back to normal but I still have my doubts, we cannot let our guard down. As long there's no cure or vaccine I cannot be at peace with this pandemic. I really want this to be over because I wanna go home in the Philippines and spend time with my family. I was supposed to go home last April but because of the lockdown all flights were canceled and airports are shut down too. 

A funny thing happened to me, so we need to report to our school every day the whole month of March, everyone was cautious and trying to be aware of everything. I was fine that day like nothing unusual happened in school, but when I got home I felt pain or more like muscle pain all over my body and I had a fever that night (hahaha) IMAGINE my fear, cause the symptoms of the virus includes fever and body pain. I didn't get a good sleep that night, paranoia and fear crept in. What I was worried about was the people I might get infected my co-teacher got kids, that really got me worried. (sigh) And I was with my friend Taylor who decided to spend the lockdown with me. We were discussing that all for one one for all if I really got the virus (hahaha). So I didn't report to school the next day but the fever was gone and I was a little bit better. It was a false alarm but the thing is with this pandemic going on you can never too sure. I lost count on how many times that I felt a little bit strange and it would scare the hell out of me. (ughhh). It's funny how the simple sickness escalated to a red alert level like a fever it used to be normal sickness and the only person that would worry about it probably is our moms but now when you get a fever the whole community or municipality would worry and freak out about it (hahaha). There was also an incident that Taylor got a call from his co-workers because there was a case in their place and as they do the tracing they found out that the date that patient traveled on a bus was the same day as Taylor, so they were confirming if it's the same bus as Taylor or not. Again IMAGINE our fear, Taylor was so worried and we started counting all the people he talked with and he encountered with, we were more worried about the people who might get infected because of us (geez). Again we were like "well my friend all for one, one for all it is." (hahaha). We waited for the confirmation and I must admit it was the most stressful wait of our lives! It took hours before they call him again and confirmed that it was not the same bus, relief took over and we were so done for that day. (hahaha). 

During these trying times, a lot has happened, the world shut down, and people isolated themselves which gave mother earth time to heal. The economy is down, businesses and almost everything shut down. The virus hit everywhere and it didn't care if its first or third world country. It didn't care about status, world leaders, celebrities, the middle class, and the poor were infected. I read a lot about the struggles of the fronliners, and how they are our true heroes in this pandemic. There are people who are stepping up in making a difference amidst this pandemic, people who are helping those who don't have anything (food, shelter, etc), people who donated masks, and other needed stuff for the frontliners and for those who are less fortunate people. I read a lot of acts of kindness stories amidst this pandemic.

It goes to show how we as humans have compassion for each other and there's always goodness in our twisted dangerous world. 

I read about the sufferings too and the struggles of the people who try to make ends meet in this situation. There are people who took their lives because of this pandemic. The virus didn't just take the lives of those who got infected, it took lives even those who don't have it. It feeds the mental struggles of the people, it brought domestic violence to new heights, it tore families apart, it took hundreds of thousands of lives. There are good and bad that happened during this pandemic, it showed how the human race is resilient and trying to survive but it also showed a lot of idiots and ignorant people causing more harm. I'm sorry for my words but that's how I see those people. Through this pandemic, I have seen the best and worst of the human race. 

As for me, I am trying my best to survive, I and my family here in Thailand are doing our best to stay healthy and just survive this pandemic. We are far from our family in the Philippines and the best way for us to ensure that we gonna meet them someday when this is over is to take care of ourselves and stay focus on surviving, this too shall pass, it's not gonna be long now, I know this pandemic will be over soon in the mighty name of Jesus. I can't wait to go home in the Philippines and spend time with my family. I hope for our human race to survive this and to be united in facing this pandemic. 

We Heal as One!

P.S.

 I know people might think that it's fine now but we can never be too sure. We still need to be cautious and continue to have good hygiene and wear masks.

Pieces of the World: Pai and Changmai (Kissing 2019 Goodbye) New Year's Travel 2020

Goodbye, 2019! You have been challenging and it was a hell of a ride with you. I had a lot of down moments, but that didn't stop me from still be grateful because life is made of moments good and bad its what made me appreciate life more.  You taught me to fight and to face my fears and you gave me opportunities to learn and push myself to do things that I taught I couldn't do. Thank you for all the pain both physical and emotional, it made me stronger.


Hello, 2020! I hope to learn a lot from you. I hope to better myself physically, skilfully, emotionally and spiritually. Looking forward to greatness and awesomeness but I really hope to be safe and in good health too. Lez get it 2020!


Moving on, I thought I will be spending my New Year again on the beach but for this year I  got to spend it on the mountains (hahaha). I went with my sister and Taylor. Our first stop was Pai in Mae Hong Son Province. It's like Sagada in the Philippines but I love Sagada more. What I love in Pai is it has one of the best natural scenery here in Thailand. Life there is simple and peaceful. If given a chance again, I would love to go back and stay longer. We didn't get to explore all the places. Our accommodation Bueng Pai Farm is a nice place. They had cottages and they grow some vegetables and they have chickens that lay fresh eggs. They didn't have a restaurant but they have a kitchen where you can cook your own food. You can buy the eggs from them, they have free food too.
It's quite far from the center but the place is nice so we didn't really mind the location.

We visited the World War II Memorial Bridge, then we went to Pai Canyon which I didn't get to walk around cuz I was still recovering from my haywire of emotions from driving the motorcycle. It's been my first time driving it again after time immemorial! I know how to drive but I'm not confident enough to drive on a freaking highway with cars and trucks! (cries) plus I'm scared of heights so I didn't get to appreciate the canyon. The next day we decided to rent a private car cuz I am not gonna drive the long and winding road to Tham Lot Cave when we were on our way I was so relieved that Taylor didn't push the motorcycle ride going to the cave because the road was just not for me (hahaha). Tham Lot Cave is the biggest cave here in Thailand.

After the cave, we went to the hot spring which is quite disappointing because it's too small and crowded. To be honest it's not worth the 200 Bhat entrance fee. My sister and Tayor went in for a swim or rather just sat down in the water. Then we head home, rested and went out for dinner.

The next day before heading back to Changmai for New Year we had a last-minute trip to Bamboo Bridge in Pambok Village. It was early in the morning and freakin cold, it was a long drive but I was confident to drive because there were no cars and trucks since it was early and the road to the village has some beautiful scenery, so I enjoyed that drive. I would say Pambok Village is my favorite place in Pai.

Chang Mai 

My sister really wanted to see the sky lantern and wanted to experience it so we headed back to Changmai. We stayed in this backpacker hostel. We just walked around, visited Doi Suthep (too crowded because it's the day before new year) Went to buy my bag which I have been eyeing for months (heh), we also ate Filipino food in a Filipino restaurant, then we welcomed the new year.

Skye

FYI

The road to Pai is a curve road, might bring some plastic bags just in case you throw up.
Van driver drives so fast that it might get you sick.

We rented a taxi from Changmai to Pai for 2500 Bhat (I'd rather have it again, than ride a van)
Others opted for motorcycle but I'd rather not (hahaha)
We rented a private car for half-day tour in Pai it cost us 1500 Bhat (Hot spring, viewpoint, and Thamnamlod cave)
Thamnamlod Cave entrance fee costs 450 Bhat per 3 people.
Hot spring costs 200 Bhat for Foreigners but since we work here and we can speak Thai we only paid 20 Bhat
Motorcycles cost 100 Bhat for 24 hours, others might cost 150 Bhat depends on the shop.
Bamboo Bridge entrance fee 30 Bhat each person.

Final thoughts:

If given a chance I would love to go back to Pai, stay longer and explore the province of Mae Hong Son. I know there is still much to see and experience there. I am happy to be back in Changmai after 6 years as it was special to me, Changmai is the first place me and my teddy bear Skye traveled together for New Year holiday along with my cousins, since then me and Skye have been to places.
I had a bumpy 2019 I'm glad I get to send it off with good memories I made with my sister and Taylor in Pai and Changmai. My hopes for 2020 is for it to be better in all aspect, not just for me but for everyone and for the world.

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
