Nominal Identity

Why

vastreveries

as my blog’s name?

It is because the creator here thinks excessively. Yeap, Im a certified overthinker(warning: overthinking is detrimental to our mental health) which presumably leads me to impulsive day dreaming about life and its existence, fantasies, odd stuff, dysphoria and etcetera. My subconscious runs all the time and it never stops, thats why i am highly prone to sleep deprivation because of my loquacious mind. Moreover, its my greatest comrade and my ultimate archenemy.

There are a lot of times that I tend to be a fugitive from reality (because mine’s kinda you know… sucks haha) and with the great participation of my encephalon, it helps me to escape actuality whenever I want, I’ll dive myself into another world which are books and music, I am proud to say that those are my partners when in case some emergency happens, like having a hard time dealing with some obnoxious human beings, intense boredom and handling my erratic depression (it depends upon the scale :P) swear, they are the best escapade tools that has ever existed in this planet!!! *yaaay*

To make the story sound more eccentric LMAO! Currenty, I am mastering the art of lucid dreaming. Still, im not half way there lol but the best part is i can wake myself up now hahaha, I also got a massive fascination about psychology. However, I didn’t ended up acquiring and learning it for college. Nevertheless, i am still elated that I chose studying about the law and there are no regrets at all because i find it pretty enthralling too.

*** looking at the bright side, vastreveries stands for my wide range of dreams in life, like to find and create my holistic being, to live an optimistic life, to reach success, to have a happy family, to have a room full of books, to have a Toradora! season 2 (quite impossible but still hoping haha! I’M A HUGE FAN), to have my own gramophone, to hoard vinyl records and CDs, to put my compositions into real music, to be an ice skater, to play all divergent kinds of musical instruments, to speak other foreign languages of my interest, to learn stenography, to be a prolific writer and hopefully, to be a lawyer someday.***

Withal, vastreveries is born with a purpose of course and it covers the compilation of my writings about my quintessential happenings and shenanigans in this chaotic and lethargic existence. Hopefully, I wish my perspective towards life would change, from a pessimist’s point of view to an optimist’s point of view.

In this blog, I want to see how I nurture myself with the help of my loved ones and god in molding me to become a mature human being.

2015: 1 of 365

1st of January 2015

I thought my day is going to be full of nostalgias but it was altered, I can’t describe how elated I am today, This has been a long day and I am very grateful that I've fully spent it with my loved ones.

Twelve o’clock in the midnight of new years eve, I've been actually waiting for the spectacular beauty of the sky’s fireworks display but I felt a little dismayed because it was drizzling and only a few people are lighting up fireworks, unlike when I was a kid, there were lots of them, exploding and sparking brightly at the sky full of stars even if still wasn't new year’s eve. At past seven o’clock you could feel the new year’s spirit already, people are already banging their gates, children would blow horns and shout “It’s almost new year, Yippie!”, families are scattered at the street, placing their tables outside and cooking and preparing the meals for new year’s eve, while their kids are holding lucis, I could still remember a  jeepney hanging a piece of roof on its rear end so it could make this extremely ridiculous sound lol (I laughed at the thought of this hahaha). We even used to celebrate new year’s eve at Tita Ellen’s and Tito A’s house at Las Piñas, I’m really wistful for those moments, because for me, it was the best new year celebration Everything is much better when you’re with the people you cherish.

I got a little displeased because everything was better back then, I discerned that I shouldn't let it get in my way. Though, I’m still very glad because I am with my family. Me and my sister decided to dress up and have a little picture taking for new years eve, we borrowed dad’s phone and ask mom if she could join us. Afterwards, my elder brother suddenly threw a bunch of coins to the floor then me and my younger siblings hurriedly competed against each other to grab the most ample of coins to hoard them on our hands, we ate our meals happily for the night. We got a bunch of fruits placed on the center of the table, a huge quezo de bola, a delicious chocolate cake, spaghetti, Sodas and a bucket of KFC’s chicken with rice.

Early in the rainy morning, my mother woke me up because we’re going to tito Boeing’s house along with my grandmother Rosalina, we had a little celebration, we ate a very scrumptious lunch which Tita Menchie made, It was Ube, Potato Salad, Durian meal, Tuna Sinigang, Lechong Manok, and Brown Rice. Tita Menchie also served cheese with bread, and she asked my father if he would like to try and taste the blue cheese she brought from England which he didn't because he wants chicken instead. Because of our burning curiosity me and my sister Tina took a closer look and observed the blue cheese carefully (thinking that it might move lol) after the meal, we took family pictures, it was really fun especially the wacky part, we sang karaoke, at first everybody was shy about singing but then it just went off and Tita Menchie placed some chocolates on the center table for us to munch on. I got really happy seeing my sister and my cousin Shiho sang duetly because we haven’t been talking with Shiho lately. While we’re growing things are getting apart little by little that’s why seeing them made my heart extra delighted. When we were just about to leave my uncle gave me a book entitled ODJ Annual edition, Volume 21 I was joyed because I love books and moreover it was about god I am very pleased to receive it because I know it will help me procure a healthy spiritual life.

The afternoon came and my father drove us to my cousin’s house, my grandmother, my dad and my two brothers, didn't came along because my eldest brother Vincent already have work tomorrow morning, since my youngest sibling Patrick likes to follow my eldest brother he didn't came too, my grandmother has other errands to finish and my father can’t come with us because he’s the one who’ll drive them home. So its just me, my mother and my sister.

When we got there, My cousins, (Steph and Stacey), my sister and I planned to go to the mall Circle C because it was so near that you can walk to get there. It was raining and it was cold outside, so my cousins got a little disinclined to prepare themselves when the dusk came and the rain ceased falling from the sky, my cousins prepared themselves.

Before we leave the house, Tito Richard said he will call my cousin Steph and will check if Pancit King is open for the holidays and finally we went to Circle C. There, we had a little window shopping of clothes, shoes and etcetera, as the time comes, we got hungry, we got tired and we got bored so we asked our eldest cousin. Steph to buy some chips.

On our way to find a seat, Tito Richard called and told us they were at the third floor of the mall. He told us that the Pancit King was closed so he decided to brought us to Shakey’s. We had Managers choice Pizza, Chicken, Italian spaghetti, garlic bread, other side dishes that I don’t know what their names are, Honey Lemon Iced Tea and Draft Beer. The dinner was beyond great because we enjoyed each other’s company, we had a bowl full of laughters and we took pictures of one another. Afterwards, we said our goodbyes, hugged each other and rode a taxi on our way home.

I thought the day was going to be over then suddenly my friend Izzah called while i was still inside the cab to come over at Jenn and Joana’s house then I said yes. as we got home, my sister and I went to their house and we had a little chit chat about each others holiday. Indeed, it was a day well spent with the people I love the most.

I like the feeling of being at home

Home, it doesn't just say that you’re inside a house with your family. For me it is LOVE, HAPPINESS, TRANQUILITY, SECURITY and the feeling of being YOURSELF that's what it means to me.
