Minsan kahit gaano kadami na ang librong nabasa mo, bawat isa mayroon pa ding iba't ibang unique na emosyon na maibibigay sayo.
And, I was not prepared reading "This Adobo Life" by Noel Aquino.

Akala ko isa itong typical na auto biography - mga kwento ng buhay simula pagkabata, achievements, challenges at aral. Pero hindi. This Adobo Life offered more than these.

Sinimulan sa Pagbati, sinundan ng Paglisan sa bayan.
Pero higit na pumukaw sa'kin ang mga kabanata ng Pagtanda at Pagdilat...

𝘕𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘰,
𝘯𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘶𝘩𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘰,
𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘰𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘬𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰 𝘮𝘰.

Hindi biro ang umibig at masaktan. Ang umibig ng sobra sobra na halos wala ng natira sa sarili. Kasabay ng yugto ng Pagtanggap at Pag-unlad sa libro, tinalakay ng bawat tula, sanaysay at prosa/tulang tuluyan ang paksa ukol sa mental health sa pamamagitan ng pagbahagi ni Noel ng kanyang mga sariling kwento.

𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘭𝘪 [𝘥𝘪𝘯] 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯...
𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘢 𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘰,
𝘬𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘢𝘯𝘰 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘴 𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘰....

𝘈𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘣𝘰
𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘭 𝘬𝘰,
𝘣𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘱𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘯
𝘬𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘢𝘢𝘯𝘰 𝘬𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘭𝘪 𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯...

Pagkatapos ng kahel na langit ni Maki, sundan mo ng Multo by Cup of Joe para mas masakit. Gusto natin yan e, yung nasasaktan tayo...

Matagal na akong nagba-blog. Nagstart ata ako 2014. Food reviews ang niche ko noon. Sa wordpress ko makikita blogs ko. The blog has 69k visits. Yung ganito kadami na visits ay big achievement na kasi di pa naman ganon kasagsagan ng babad sa social media. Naaalala ko twing aattend ako ng bloggers event ang tawag samin ay "new media" haha!

Bakit ako nagsusulat noon? Kasi hindi naman ako pala-labas. I don’t have too much of friends. And dahil busy din ang mga tao, yung ideas ko gusto ko ilabas. Yung kwento ko gusto ko ilabas.

Hindi ko na maalala password ng wordpress ko ,sayang. I also put up a weebly blog noon na ang focus ay journalling. 19k naman stats nun. BLOG ang uso noon hindi vlogs. Tapos nung rise na ng Youtube, feel ko di ko kaya. So, I stopped. Focused on my work, promotions that eventually destroyed my mental health. Ibang usapan naman yun. Maybe maikwento ko next time. I’ve had silent battles. And there still are. Hindi naman ata mawawala. So might as well mag enjoy na lang ako hanggat buhay ako. 😂

Recently, active na ako ulit. Secured some collabs and media partnerships na din. Went out of my comfort zone ( writing ) at nag vivideo video na. 🤣 Hahaha.

So, sa mga nagsu-support ng posts ko at nagsheshare, salamat! 🙂 It means so much to me. Share niyo lang baka kasi may friends kayo na interested sa contents ko. Hehe.

BTW. Yung photo na ito ay sneak peak ng content na ipopost ko mamaya. 🥰 Salamat!
