Three Brouhaha Years

Oh yeah! It has been three years but I guess having three years is not as significant as five years or ten years or twenty-five years or even a hundred years. But let me have my own significance of celebrating three writing years in my blog.

Three words about myself right now, redemption, upgrading and anew.

I want to redeem myself from the things I failed to accomplish. Lots of broken things that I need to fix, people whom I need to say sorry with, and prayers I love to pray all over again, which I need to redeem myself. I need a total upgrade of my life. I never had vacation since and I need one, I want one. I want new things, new clothes, new bag, new shoes, which will tell me that I upgrade. I want to start a friendship anew. A friendship which there is no pretensions, no qualms, just pure friendship. I failed one, and now I am redeeming it, and more than that, I will upgrade our friendship. Hopefully that this will happen.

Three people who gives me extra inspiration.

Julie Ann Cory Jimenez and Angelica Espana, my two loving super dooper friends who recently graduated in University of Santo Tomas with a degree of Master of Education in Curriculum Design (is it correct?) and as magna cum laude. They inspire me to do best in whatever I am doing. Their secret, not sleeping more than two hours. And powerful Power Point presentation. The other one is Vice Ganda. My idol not because he's gay and he's very famous but of himself being too much honest and frank. That's why he is loved by so many people. That's why he is loved by his friends. That's why he became the asawa of Kris Aquino, nanay of Ryan Bang, Kiray Celis, Dominic Roque and Patrick Sugui, Tutoy to his mother and his brother/s/sister/s. They give me inspiration that boosts me too hard! And I want it for my life!

Three gifts I want to receive right now.

Peace, good health and love. Peace because I want to reconnect again with the person I respect the most. Good health because I'm no longer getting younger and I need to lose weight, seriously. And love because I guess I already moved on and I'm getting ready to meet new people. I am wishing this person to be known personally but as what they say, God gives us the right time!

Three future events I am so much excited to look forward to.

First is the second attempt of Anne Curtis to have a concert at the Araneta Coliseum entitled The Forbidden Concert with hashtag #Annekapal. Next is my newest workplace. I don't know where and I don't know when will I start but I am so much looking forward to it. And the showing of the film version of The Fault In Our Stars, which stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Egort. My student Kristine Azurin had spoiled me the ending of the story but I am so much excited for this.

Three books I want to read.

One is Leche by R. Zamora Linmark. It is a foreign print but the setting of the story is in the Philippines. Based from my memory and understanding, it is a story of a Fil-Am who went back to the Philippines to search for something. Turns out his adventure became nerve-wracking and heart-pounding. I just don't understand why the title of his novel is Leche and does this mean milk in Spanish or a bad word? The other one is Love and Misadventures by Lang Leav. This was being recommended by my student, Kristine. I went to Fully Booked in Alabang Town Center and I thought it was a love story but full of short but uber-romantic poems about love stories. The third book I wish I could buy and read is Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. This book intrigues me a lot because it talks about the rich and famous, Asian version. Do they really have the same thinking as the Western socialites or all socialites whether from the Americas or Asia are the same? I want to laugh, I want to learn and somehow, I need to make a research about these!

Three ramen houses in Metro Manila I wanted to dine.

Only in Alabang, at the famous Molito Commercial Complex is Ramen Yushoken. According to the website Our Awesome Planet, they have a limited capacity of 170-200 bowls of ramen per day and there are rumors that they needed to turn down customers and orders because they had already reached the capacity. Their ramen is really an authentic one. Next is Mitsuyado Sei-Men also known as The House of Tsukemen located at 22 Jupiter Street, Makati City. I've seen this Japanese restaurant through KrisTV and I saw how they adorned their ramen. The noodles were smothered with cheese and then you will dip the noodle in the base soup. And lastly is Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen located in the East Wing of Shangri-La Plaza and at the 5th level of SM Aura Premier. They are known for the Black Garlic Tonkotsu ramen (as of this writing, I am licking my lips and really craving for these ramen!) and the basic Ajitama ramen. I don't know how they were prepared, but they taste, I guess, so delicious. I only started as a ramen fan this year because of my cousin-in-law and whenever I have, I make it a point to eat one bowl, from start to finish!

This has been The Brouhahas. Three years have passed and it became significant to me. Now, I wanted to make this blogsite to be synonymous to fun and life-changing. This is, for me, the best vehicle to showcase what I really wanted to do, write.

Thank you for all the readers for reaching more than 24,000 views. I may not have hundreds of followers through Blogger, but sharing what I have in my heart can be as good as three's a charm!

Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!

Toodles!!!
