The Adventures of Tarabusaw

I am a sucker for cheesy, feel-good movies.  Let me watch a romantic flick and I can easily pick up a line or two.  That is why I find it odd that I don’t enjoy them much now.  Nako-cornyhan na ako sa iba.  Dati, even if I know that everything is cliche, natutuwa pa rin ako.  But now, the predictability of the scenes, and  yeheesss even the lines, make me cringe to death.  Siguro nga nagbago na ako.

While I was still in Canada, I would often call my friends back home.  I would talk to them for as long as I want.  Kaya naman  halos mamatay na ako sa telephone bill ko nun.  I would email them and share my experiences.  I would go here ang blog about everything.  I felt it was required of me to tell everybody where I’m going or what I’ve been doing.  But fast-forward to Sydney, everything is different.  I don’t feel the urge to call them.  I don’t email them.  I don’t blog as much as I used to.  Not that I don’t miss them.  It’s the other way really.  But I just thought that we are already living our own lives and maybe a once in a while update will do.  Besides, I should give them a reason to miss me too.  Haha!  Pero siguro, nagbago na nga ako.

For almost 25 years now, I’ve been fat.  I’ve tried lots of diets but nothing worked for me.  Even after a heartbreak which was supposed to trigger my stress buttons on did nothing to let me control my eating habits.  But now, I am trying to lose weight — slowly but surely.  I’ve been eating a lot of greens already (himala!) and I haven’t had any chocolates and softdrinks for two weeks in a row na.  I am so proud of myself for this little achievement.  Ngayon nga, my philosophy is, since I’ve tasted all the better-tasting yet bad food na, it’s high time for me to start eating good and healthier alternatives.  Besides, being healthy is required from singles like me.  How can I flirt with some hot Aussie girls if I look like this?  Hahaha!  Malamang, nagbago na nga ako.

Ang dami pang aspect ng buhay ko ang sa tingin ko ay unti-unting nagbabago or completely nagbago na.  I can’t enumerate them all here, some of it are really very personal kasi.  Change is good — especially if it is for the better.  I hope nagbago na nga ako.  And I hope ang pagbabago kong ito will take me to greater adventures ahead.
