       Anyone who knows me know that I love animals very very much. I love bunnies and rabbits most of all. I have two lovable bunny boys, Marion and Oreo, whom I love dearly. So as a bunny mom, I follow fellow bunny parents on their social media. One of my favorites is Bunny Mama, or sometimes known as Eddy & Rambo, her first two adorable bunnies who are already at the rainbow bridge. One day, I came across their Facebook page and saw that she and her bunnies were #FAAT, Forever Against Animal Testing.

       Today my parents and I decided to have lunch somewhere different. A couple of years back, my aunts and I went to this place in Tagaytay called Crosswinds. It's both a residential and resort sort of village, meaning you can own a house there or they also have small hotels to cater to the public, all located in one place. At that time, we had a look around the area and inquired hotel rates. Afterwards, we ate at the only restaurant (aside from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf) located at the very entrance. Back then I didn't really bother with the name of the restaurant or whatsoever, plus I wasn't serious about blogging (or maybe I was but as usual I didn't continue it lol) so we simply ate and enjoyed the food.

       So. I've been thinking for the entire day on how I'm going to be writing this post. It's mostly based off personal experience, of course. 

       Every one of us has gone through something traumatic. More or less it's inevitable. Anything can be traumatic for us--a break-up, verbal, physical or emotional abuse, accidents, disasters. It could be anything that left us really scarred and unable to live without its painful memory. Probably even something as horrible as if your life depended on it. Sometimes we really can't avoid these circumstances and it really does happen to us at some point.

       So I'm going to share my experiences, as well as how I'm currently dealing with them. I'm no psychologist but somehow I hope it helps others too!

       Before reading on, this is in no way intended to offend anyone, especially the elders. This is meant to create a connection and a certain understanding between two very different generations. It has been difficult to communicate in person because in only ends in arguments and conflict. Hence, this post. Basically, this is an open letter to the baby boomers and everyone older than the millennials.

       *Another disclaimer, I'm not speaking entirely on behalf of my generation, please don't get me wrong. Most of these are drawn from personal experiences as well as stories from other millennials. :)

       Hi guys! I just wanted to share that I also make videos of my travels. Here's the one I made from my El Nido trip (I'm sorry, I really have a bad hangover from that place lol)


    Enjoy!

    Tagaytay City is one of the most-visited provinces in the country. Aside from the beautiful view, cool weather and the short amount of travel time to access these (compared to a 5-6 hour drive to Baguio City), people flock here for the restaurants and the delicious food. There are a number of recommended restaurants here but one of my personal favorites is Balay Dako. (There have already been many posts and reviews about this restaurant, but I'm making my own anyway lol)


    Owned by renowned Chef Tony Boy Escalante, Balay Dako means "big house" in Ilonggo/Negrenese. (Without looking it up, I knew this because my mom hails from the province of Ilo-ilo :P) And the place is literally is a big house -- with two floors for dinning, a small deli store, a mini bar area and venues for small occasions. It opened in 2015 and since then people have really been flooding the place, most especially on weekends. There have been many times when we could barely get a seat due to the amount of people on the wait list. Nevertheless, it was always worth it.

       Over the weekend, I went to see the already box-office hit Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, and directed by Patty Jenkins. (Update: I actually saw it for a second time yesterday! Nope, still not over it.) So unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, you’ll know that Wonder Woman is the movie everyone is literally talking about. It’s currently the #1 movie in the world, garnering $223 during its opening weekend last week. It’s also being called the best superhero movie ever. And for a good reason. (From this point on, this post will include spoilers so please don’t read on if you haven’t watched yet!)

       Okay so tomorrow I'm going to have another job interview at one of the biggest banks in the country. The position is no big deal though, but I don't want to dwell too much into it since it might get jinxed (this always happens okay).

       Instead, I'm going to list some tips I've learned through different interviews I had in the past. Remember I graduated in 2015, and since then I've had quite a number of interviews - not too many to brag, but enough to give me the feel of how it is to be interviewed by different kinds of companies. I'll try to make this as personal as possible and not make it too generic because, come on, there's already so many "tips to ace that job interview" posts out there. My version will be based on my experience. Plus I never mentioned the word "ace". ;)

       One of the many things I will be posting here will be my travels. The ironic thing about me is that I love the idea of traveling (which is why I took up international studies) but I’ve never traveled until last March. (My previous out of town travels were only to Tagaytay, Batangas and Baguio--and we would do the same thing over and over again, so it got very tiring.) Yes, I’m 22 but I only rode my first ever plane ride last March. It was a surreal experience, to be honest. A real milestone. My boyfriend even has a video of me literally freaking out when we were taking off. So yes, my travels from then on mean so much to me, because I’m basically a late-bloomer in traveling.

     So going back... #TitaMargaTravels. I decided to compile my travels under that hashtag/title. I’m literally not a tita by the way, but my friends do liken me to being one. (Side note, if you’re not updated with what a Tita of Manila is, brush up on it here and here.) Anyway, that’s not the point. The point is, this is just an introduction to all my future travels.
      (Disclaimer: these took place over two months ago, so I’ll try my best to remember the important details!)
