For instance, I am actually doing my own laundry, believe it or not. This is actually one of the few things that I've learned from living on my own. I have never, EVER touched or washed my own clothes until today. Back home, I just put it in our laundry basket and wait for two days before we get our clothes back from the laundry shop. But here? I do it manually. It's quite daunting but... So far so good. My clothes and undies smell good, thank God (i didn't do anything wrong). I know that my clothes trust my 'hand washing' skills. Lol
Second, I can actually live without internet, so to speak. It goes like this. My cellphone has this capability to become a wi-fi hotspot but unfortunately, the signal's not that great. There are a number of internet shops near our boarding house but I did not like the vibe (lol kaartehan). But yeah, when the training starts this Monday, I would be literally disconnected from the online world. It's just, I don't have much time for it. If reaching my dream would require not to be online 24/7, then I'll take it.
Well, that's it for now. I'm still lucky that I have lots of friends from the Mindanao region. At least I do not feel alone. Hope we all get through this successfully.
Zero casualty.
Awts di ka nagdala ng laptop?
ReplyDeleteWala hahaha
ReplyDeleteSince you're doing the laundry, don't forget to buy a good hand cream. Lols!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Renz. Davao misses you!
We will be missing you here in Davao Tito Renz but we are extremely happy for you.
ReplyDeleteIngat lagi and don't forget to have fun. :)

ReplyDelete@Ate Brendel: Yeah!!! Will look for one soon! :)) Kapoy baya mag manual laba LOL
ReplyDelete@Mommy Rovz: Thanks mommy!!!
@Kulapitot: Yung mga pants, ilaulaundry ko yun
nice to know you're chasing after your dreams. i don't know you personally but reading your posts made me feel like i do somehow. keep dreaming! and blog about it! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to find another blogger from Davao - or is it now from Manila?
ReplyDeleteI know how it feels, being away from family & friends while pursuing your dreams. I did the big move myself at 23 but has not regretted it.
I miss Davao of course but I try to go home at least once year.
You're doing great Renz. Mas mahal nga magpalabada dyan sa Manila kesa sa probinsya. I started washing my family's clothes when I was in high school. Although washing machine pa rin, ang hirap kasi 7 kami lahat. haha. Now, I do handwash inside the hostel and hang them in my rented room. Kaya ra kaayo na nimo! good luck as well on the training!
ReplyDeleteTo me, doing my own laundry has been the most surprisingly enjoyable activity that I learned to do as an adult. Washing machine aided or otherwise, I consider it as my little moment of zen. Wait until you start finding the need to cook for yourself. Mabibilib ka sa sarili mo hehe!
ReplyDeleteIngat ka, Renz! Nandito ka lang pala sa tabi-tabi.
Adelle - thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteNomadic pinoy: thank you!!! Miss ko na talaga ang dvo!
Ed: thanks! Hahaha naamaze jud ko kay kabalo na ko maglaba looool
Drew: hey drew! See you when I see you!!!
here's to your independence! not that you were stuck in somewhere before but doing more things on your own will give you a sense of pride. i feel you when you noted you don't do your own laundry before and now that you have to roll up your sleeves for the part.
ReplyDeleteit was "me" before i got married, it was "me" long before i went abroad. hindi lang ako expert sa laundry at bleaching ngayon kundi pati sa kusina! you'll learn to swim when you're in the ocean!
nice post, renz!
ps : deadma mo na ang lack of vibe sa net shop! hahaha!
Hi doc gelo! Thanks sa comment mo! Bale may wifi shop pala malapit sa amin, so mas gusto ko na ang vibe. Hehehe. Grabe bagyo ngayon sa metro and... Waaaaa my laundry!!! I hope it will get dry tomorrow. Lol
