iOS Notes from 2022

I think it, I note it. I see/hear it, it’s interesting, I note it.

Thanks iPhone!

I too, have not seen most of them, so having them here would help compartmentalize my data sent to the cloud and quite frankly, a mere collection of raw thoughts and in the moment notes. Will add the reference if I remember! :D

Back then, this was how it looked like:

2022

01/30

I’m not in a rush to do things, I will have time, and I’ve always wanted to get married in a balcony in Italy where I close off the entire street for my guests and we have the feast there, with lots of dancing and drinking. This could be the chance to finally find that place. Inspo: 1 Euro House

04/01

A pen forged through a heartbreak has the ability to write the best of novels. Inspo: Little Women

04/03

The lesser your fears of tomorrow the freer your mind to enjoy the now.

04/03

Wars hamper progress because funds are diverted to evacuation instead of innovation.

04/04

#thatmomentwhen You’re done moping hoping for someone to save you, and just walk the talk of doing what you’re supposed to.

04/07

This constant need of being looked upon is just making me down with the pressure that revolves around it.

04/07

I finally got what I wanted, yet something still feels amiss. Is it borne out of ego and that of pride? That this will never end and maybe that’s just how it’s supposed to be. You’ll love till you won’t anymore, and that’s okay, that is your contribution to this life—to their life, and that really is okay. Inspo: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

04/07

Describe me in one word he asked, I said “ideal” and because of that we should never be more than friends. Inspo: Little Women

04/07

Given the fact that I like ending every good thing that happens to me, we should keep this longing for each other at arms length—a yearning so strong it will burn 🔥 us with desire even in our dreams. Inspo:Pride And Prejudice

04/07

Perhaps it is unfulfilled love that nurses the bestest, long lasting of friendships.

04/07

Magmahal ka muna kaya ng iba, yan ang sabi ko sa kanya. Inspo: ExOfAnEx

05/03

My own thoughts diffuse the intensity of my current thoughts.

05/08

How does @Spotify handle their data for #SpotifyWrapped when I play offline? Or does it only count my listening habits when I stream online like that of what your friends are listening to?

05/17

City Lights are quite nice to have as a nightlight. 🌃 If living in a condo, better get the room that has light coming from the roars of a buzzing Tokyo alley and adore the neon of it all.

05/18

I was taught at home and school to love, respect, honor all people, disabilities, age knowing them by their character, values, actions, how treat one another with respect, kindness, empathy, compassion and that heritage is to be understood, celebrated, know  and honored.  Ref: Reddit

05/19

Never have I been so impressed with a sunset in the city, high rise style. Today, I have a newfound love for sunsets even when it’s in the city. It was pure awe!

05/29

That feeling where you look at the clock and it’s still 12noon on a Sunday and you have nothing planned for the day hurray!

05/29

Why do we have this certain form of fear shaping inside us while waiting, and then finally hearing that ding! of the OTP when it slides down from the top of the screen?

05/31

Maybe it’s better to just float into nothingness without really any care in the world of what others will perceive about you, to truly have no fear. Why do we feel the need to always feel better? Be better?

06/06

Is this or could this have been the truest form of love? To have this intensity, of yearning, of feeling — of desire! Ref:Spotify Link to song

06/06

When you want to tell someone something really secret but you can’t think of anyone, not one person, none to share this secret with! Ain’t that sad?

06/07

Find a love so wild and so maddening it takes away all of your energy just thinking about the glory of his smile. Memories of days spent in his arms eat you alive from within, like a parasite you cannot seem to shrug regardless of how many moments of intoxication have crossed your nights to forget but haunts you all the same. A love so strong that his absence feels like a thousand unfulfilled sunsets peeking through clouded thoughts, and a minute of his time is the only refuge your heart seeks.

06/26

Today I saw all lawn mowers make a strike at the same time.

08/30

Eating pasta and listening to Pink Floyd’s Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-5 - 2011 Remaster with Casa Las Punxes’ santa-ana-like-wind is awesomely orgasmic.

08/31

iPad storage only gets full when I intentionally dump apps and boostraps in there.

09/01

You will be who you want to be, you. Ref: Miss Saigon

09/02

But there is this feeling like a girl con kaleidoscope eyes, floating, happy, the sun is brighter, lucy-in-the-sky bright, you’re baked and it’s a marshmallow pie. Inspo: The Beatles

09/04

Three rabbits to the moon. Ref: Maybe a movie

09/05

And as for eggs boiling in water, you are most intense.

09/05

That feeling you get when someone accepts your friend request at any platform. But most especially when it’s through video games.

09/07

Just waiting for that day I bounce back from this state. It has happened before, I can get through this again. Ref: Existential Crisis

09/09

If the area in your vacation home gets flooded on certain months, don’t open them for Airbnb. Saves you the trouble of battling disgruntled guests.

09/11

Why do we have to count death and birth per earth’s orbit and not every 5 years or something else that doesn’t rely aging on 365 but on the actual changes that one person’s life actually goes to?

09/15

How does @Spotify handle their data for #SpotifyWrapped when I play offline? Or does it only count my listening habits when I stream online like that of what your friends are listening to?

09/16 TIL nga unsa daw?? 🤣

Drain the water from thr gitdt hot water of the mlzarella then pour new hot water and then it will be stretchable

09/16

Not many people know the pain of stoic personalities, and it’s probably better that way since they won’t tell you how they are really feeling anyway knowing there is a possibility of making you feel bad if you have known.

09/20

Mistakes, make amends.

09/20

I’d like a really cheesy hamburger 🍔 slapped into a slightly or maybe just about right juicy double patty, a bite of pickle that bursts your insides with every bite, mustard and 🥫ketchup, I squeeze the bread it oozes goodness I eat and die at the same time.

09/22

What if.. I didn’t have the obligation to be anywhere, would I got to somewheres I truly wanna be?

09/22 too

All they needed was each other, a song and a tree.

09/22 again

I think I started to notice Satch only because I dated this local DJ guy whose looks reminded me of him.

09/22 and another one

‘Every time you see a flood like that in the news you tell yourself: That’s it. That’s my heart.’ Ref:Kafka On The Shore

09/22 wow that’s a lot in one day!

And then she couldn’t sleep, 3:40 with a thousand Chopins and a handful of Tchaikovskies, her thoughts a million miles away, galaxies even, she must like being in a state of trance for she is a sheep, restless, routinary, ruthless to those who cannot sleep. 🐏

09/22 what is uppp!

If I could automate all content in my devices and on the cloud, I would like to be a part of the team who discusses: let’s do manual image sorting since we know the memory and let shortcodes do the organizing (folder and timeline creation, face tagging). And then finally - combining all videos of the same kind/event and play it on the walls of a shed dedicated to bring you memories—projector style.

09/22 indeed

With so many thoughts to note, ideas to write, movies to see, music to zone out with, books to read, people to meet—how does one find time to not feel the pressure to have something, an idea, a memory, an idea of hope.

09/22

I think it’s the idea of getting happiness that makes us happy but not the actual existence of happiness as it happens.

09/22

You cannot be happy if nothing happyns.

09/23

Holy shit! 3rd chapter of Kafka on the Shore! Why RU doing this to me. Wow murakami!

09/23 also

The year was 2022 that I found the true meaning of ‘chill life’, sitting perfectly still inside a boxed room, just listening to Emancipacion and just astronomically drowning slowly into a void with Osvaldo Pugliese, all while absolutely doing nothing. Nothing at all. And there was this feeling of content.

09/23 say whaaat

Estamos contigo.

09/23 typing warrior lol

Every now and then I .. actually don’t remember what I was going to say. Oh now I recuerdo! Every now and then I would have these obsessions with music videos like Gilbert O’Sullivan’s Alone Again (Naturally) or Bruno Mars’s version of All I Ask Of You or Moulin Rouge’s Your Song or that of Dreamgirls’s We Are A Family–scratch that, the entire Dreamgirls movie is what, the list could go and on.. but today, or the past few days at least: Mistakes by Lake Street Dive (Bose Better Sound Session).

09/25

What if festivals harness power for electricity from people’s footsteps in the park or the roars created by thunderous bounce of ragers and concerts?

09/26

I was born to be Tolkien’d!

09/26

Onion gun bread.

09/26 so you say

What good is something if you don’t remember it?

09/26 too

Lately I’ve grown fond of taking my coffee by the balcony, soaked in the sun, a smoke in hand as I dive into new tunes from Spotify’s Discover Weekly (which btw drops fresh beats every Monday) and drown in Murakami’s Kafka, as he was in his books.

09/30

Sometimes I listen to recordings I have in my phone of concerts or gigs, relive the moment and be there as it has been. The chatter, the sax, the soothing Juan Perro with the basilica on the background. Ref:Recording Of Juan Perro 3

09/30 again

I liked my freedom so much I was afraid of losing it. But isn’t that what freedom is supposed to be? To finally be free of anything—literally everything, including the freedom you so currently enjoy.

10/03

Yo tengo nombre esta Claro Quisil.

10/03

“I love your randomness” he said.

10/05

I got so many lists and not one ever sees closure.

10/06

There’s so much shit in my head I don’t even know where to begin.

10/06

When is iCloud Notes ever going to incorporate markdown? Cmon, follow Google Sheets’ lead.

10/06

Midnight strolls on the web.

10/06

Swiping like sheeps in dreams.

10/07

Namaríe. 💍

10/08

Mindlessly swiping. Aimlessly, tis a waste of time. Ref: Social Media

10/16

Why is New York shaking?

10/16

The only difference is, they lived in 3-storey buildings, while ours had 8 floors up.

10/20

Mid this year, I took my last day of work in a company I loved, leaders I adored and became close friends with, and a team of 50 people who I hold dear in my heart—some I may have hurt while I was learning as a leader myself and some I have become friends with.

Amidst all the traveling and changes in my course, BBD has supported me in every step of the way—even at my weakest when I tried to push him away.

If you had the option to pick your most ideal Airbnb (no matter the cost), drop the link below.

Mine is this.

10/24

Sometimes I listen to ‘“Live at the BBC” albums in Spotify at 3 o’clock in the morning and I feel like I’m really listening to The Beatles, just as it has happened in the past. Like I was in that era.

10/26

Tranquil as a forest, but there’s fire within. Ref: Mulan

11/02

Crab style earrings, with its claw to clamp on the ear.

11/24

What if we were led to believe that fireflies are shooting stars making our wishes come true?

11/24 Siargao

I worry too much about what other people feel about being with me I have unnecessary fears I forget all the good things that happened in day because of one bad observation

Repeat 3 times every morning to be a better host/friend when traveling.
