Santa Cruz, Manila

Part 01 : The Cemeteries

Amidst the vibrant chaos of urban life in Manila, one can discover a solemn sanctuary that whispers tales of the past - the old cemeteries of Santa Cruz. As a district veiled in both melancholy and forgotten grace. Its old cemeteries, like missing chapters of a novel, exude a sense of neglect and abandonment.

In this corner of Santa Cruz, the once-pristine graves, now weathered and crumbling, bear witness to lives left untended and memories lost to time's relentless passage. Here, amidst the faded epitaphs and mossy stones, the echoes of forgotten souls whisper, the weight of unspoken stories hangs heavy in the air, yearning for the solace of remembrance.

The old cemeteries of Santa Cruz are veritable archives of the human experience, where the past's timeless beauty reveals itself amidst gravestones and mausoleums. Here, Manila's history finds a poignant resting place, etched in the city's collective memory of life and death.

“For the forgotten dead, both heroes and nobles, Lacrimosa Santa Cruz, by their tombs she trembles.”

Part 02 : From “Congratulations” to “Condolence”

Santa Cruz, like a faithful companion throughout the journey from birth to death, whispers its sentiments through the language of flowers - a silent communication that speaks volumes.

In the northern expanse of this district, a somber path unfolds, lined with hospitals and medical establishments that gradually give way to the solemnity of cemeteries.

This slender district, resembling an aisle, gracefully escorts you along its hallow avenue, accompanying you until the very end, akin to a devoted guide on this transformative passage of life.

Part 03 : Fuente de Vida

At the southern part of Santa Cruz, where the bustling streets converge in a symphony of chaos and vitality, stands the Carriedo Fountain in Plaza Santa Cruz. Here, amidst the cacophony of hurried footsteps and blaring horns, a testament to vigor and life emerges, defying the somber ambiance that envelops the district's northern realms of cemeteries and hospitals.

The fountain becomes an audacious centerpiece, its cascading waters dance with fervor, a metaphorical rebellion against the relentless flow of time. Its grandeur is a stark contrast to the humble dwellings and makeshift stalls that populate the vibrant streets nearby, mirroring the chaotic rhythm of the surrounding urban theater.

Amidst the unapologetic raucous and vivacious surroundings, the Carriedo Fountain stands tall, a testament to the indomitable human spirit that thrives even in the most tumultuous of circumstances.

[ramonabulaklak]

I like flowers. I like receiving flowers. I like giving flowers. I like painting flowers. I like giving paintings of flowers.

These are things I realized when I was with V since I never really cared whether boyfriends give me flowers or not and never really felt like I wanted to give flowers before I met her.

I remember the first flower she ever gave me. It was a single stalk of sunflower for my 20th birthday. When I saw her waiting for me with that flower in hand, I felt like my heart was going to burst.

In almost 5 years with her, she gave me many bouquets of different kinds of flowers, and every single one of them were handpicked by her from Dangwa. I appreciate her so much for doing that when we were together because I learned just how much I love receiving flowers and how much I feel loved even if it’s just a stalk of whatever as long as it’s pretty.

I like flowers.

I remember the last time I picked out flowers for the bouquet I gave her last year when we officially broke up—I think I gave her lilies. 

I don’t even know if she liked it and what happened to it. It’s a shame if she threw it away but I’m indifferent to V now and I’m just happy with whatever’s going on with her. As expected, we wilted like all the flowers she gave me.

The euphoria of freedom during ESSUPHORIA 2024 fueled me to rock and roll!

We have celebrated the 20th charter day of Eastern Samar State University through a free concert by Sponge Cola brought us by Cong. Marcelino "Nonoy" Libanan.

The time I heard that Sponge Cola will be having a free concert in ESSU, I suddenly reminisced my childhood back then everytime my uncles would play their songs including other OPM bands. Until now, those kinds of music keeps on playing back in my mind without knowing the song title. I tend to familiarised their song.

As I scrolled down to the page of ESSU looking at the uploaded dress code of the event, I was doubting if I could attend the concert but my friends made a way for me. They asked permission to my lola and by luck, we made it to the concert.

The moment we got there, we came across the distance viewing the crowd as they fall in line to enter the venue while the downpour was starting. It was really a hassle. We were checked by the Criminology Marshalls before we could totally enter the grandstand. We saw the concessionaires offered inside such as coffee, milk shakes, fries, and crochet flowers as well. We bought my favorite iced matcha coffee for three to sip as we vibed to the music of Sponge Cola. We didn't give a damn about our shoes being stuck in the mud since it rained before the said event.

It was indeed a moment of freedom, joy, bond and a deep relieving sigh without thinking about our academics even just for the short period of time. We really had fun that night especially that I was with my genuine friends. We screamed our heart out everytime Yael Yuzon, the vocalist would start a song such as Tuliro, Pag-ibig, Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay and so on. We laughed and even cried, jump and stumped our feet as we relate to the songs.

Brunch with my love after buying flowers at Dangwa for our special mommies 💕

[eldlpz]

La vie en rose

I’ve always loved nature, but I never knew that I'd be this addicted to flowers! I never thought that I'd be able to do this, shopping at Dangwa to buy flowers.

I grew up as a girl who wanted to “beat” the stereotypes, I told people that receiving or buying flowers is a waste of money. Deep inside I always wanted one. When I finally gave in, I found out that I was allergic to pollens. It wrecked my heart. I decided to risk it and go to Dangwa this Feb tho.

You only live once! I want to live my dream life. (I also wanted to give my man a bouquet for Valentine's.)

After that, I realized that making bouquets heals my inner child and acts as therapy for me. It is quite pricey, but it's worth it! It became a little tradition to me to give mini bouquets to random people, and seeing them smile warms my heart. Humans can be cute sometimes.

I promise myself that I will continue doing this every month or as much as I can. I really enjoy it, and it helps me to appreciate life more for some reason. In this way, I can see life in pink.

[confoundette]

!!!! also !!!!! bonus points if you get her a flower. sometimes it doesn’t have to be a bouquet. girls will say na they don't really like flowers and it could be true naman but what matters is the intention. the fact that you went out of your way to get her a flower, will make the flowers so much more beautiful. she’ll treasure it so much more than you think. bonus points if you get to know her favorite flowers. and it’s pretty cheap to buy flowers in dangwa. and if not actual flowers, you can pull of the plastic flowers (with a note that says, “my love for you is as everlasting as these flowers” O PAK DIBA) OR you can splurge a little bit more for crocheted flowers. those are super cute and long lasting for sure. she’ll display it in her room. plus points if you get her a stuffed toy too, not all the time. but like one stuffed toy to keep on her bed. PLUS POINTS IF YOU SPRAY YOUR COLOGNE ON THE STUFFED TOY. she will love it, i swear

Dangwa is a flower market place located in Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines. 

It has a LOT of variety of flowers to choose from and they do all sorts of flower decors and arrangements! There’s a lot of cheap flowers but they’re pretty much wilt within a few hours or so (that’s why it gets so cheap). So If you only need flowers for a day, then that’ll do, but remember to be careful with ripoffs because vendors might say it’ll last a week or so, but if you think it will not, don’t buy it. There are plenty of shops to choose from. Oh, and vendors have a way of pricing higher than usual because of one’s appearance. So if you plan on going on a trip to buy some flowers here, make sure to dress simple. =) 

I don’t know the types of flowers I took a photo of.

[jopetkasi]

Early morning walks around my area. but damn, it was humid today. 

Did a 48 hour shift at the warehouse. it was month end and  being last quarter is the busiest, so it is really all hands on deck for us. No more vacations for me, next year na ulet. 

Paid my credit card bills, insurance (i have four lol) and building dues = adulting. 

I had some spare time so I went to Ikea and got myself a new swivel chair, a couple of frames and kitchen implements, again, me trying to be a responsible adult. 

I also went to Dangwa with Anton and Gelo for a meeting with the flower supplier. The wedding is on the 10th and we do not have a wedding coordinator but hey, I promised the sib that I will help him with the wedding preps. So far the two things I promised him na accomplished naman, barong (done) flowers (done) 

Then i was back home. there was some sort of a year-end gig and I frolicked around the area. The vibe was too young, I felt so old and decided to go back to my unit and call it a day...

[sunb0rn]

hello ate charm first of all sana masarap ang ulam mo today! entry ko for vday sharing :)

as a walang jowa since forever, i don't have a "worst" valentine's day because i never felt that it was such a special day? pero iba yung feeling once it hit me how special it was for others kasi nung college grabe ang dami talagang tao na may flowers and balloons as in kahit sa room may ganon 😭 di rin helpful na ang lapit ng dangwa kaya super traffic tapos lahat ng kasabay mo may bulaklak :')))

best valentine's day naman is... this is wholesome LOL pero sinamahan ko yung friend ko na guy na mamili ng bulaklak. that time single's club kami HAHA as in buong friend group single (altho may landi yung iba) tapos siya lang yung guy, and he bought flowers for all of us 😭 kinasabwat niya ko kasi wala talaga siyang alam sa bulaklak. anw super effort kasi ibang klase ng bulaklak yung binibigay niya per person :((

Hi byyy!! salamat and happy weekend!! yes super wholesome! gusto ko talaga yung gnyang kwento. may gumawa din nyan sa college batchmate ko, lahat ng girls sa class nila naka recieve ny flowers!! 🥺

ang cool ng idea ng friend mo na iba ibang flower per person!! 🧡🧡

☁️ Anniversary Weekend ☁️

Took me a week to share this bec it was a really busy work week (lol but when was it ever not??)

--------

I literally started the day feeling tampo bec that's the kind of person I am 😭 jk so I rushed all my workload the day before, like I sat in front of my laptop and worked my ass off for around XX hours straight just so I can go to his place earlier than usual in the morning only for him to tell me na 'wag munang pumunta nang maaga and na magpahinga muna like?? I was so confused why (it felt like) he's not excited to see me on our Anniversary. I was kinda mad so I did what he told me, I just slept until noon. I even thought about not going there anymore haha.

🍲 Fast forward, I still went to his place of course bec how can I ever resist this guy? We did the usual lambingan like we always do lol. The kilig when he told me he cooked sinigang (my favorite!!!) and we ate lunch together. As an only daughter of two Kapampangans, pasok sa god-tier sinigang standards ko 'yung luto n'ya haha.

🌻 After our lunch, he went to the balcony for few seconds and I wondered what he was doing there. 'Nung pumasok s'ya ulit, I was shocked and kilig (and kilig again!!!) when I saw him holding a bouquet of sunflowers like my heart literally skipped a beat kasi I have zero expectation na he will surprise me with flowers (kahit lagi naman n'ya talaga akong binibigyan no'n lol).

Side story: sunflower is my favorite and it was actually one of the reasons why I said yes to him (after half a year) 'nung nililigawan n'ya pa lang ako.

Sub-side story: feeling maganda ako sa part na I let him wait six months for my answer when he asked me to be his girlfriend hahahahaha. No assurance, no commitment, nothing. We just did things together that made us happy during those six months. He was sooo patient (and loyal kahit walang label lol) to me. Kaya hindi ko rin ma-gets why I doubt his loyalty ngayong we're in a longterm relationship na, eh nanliligaw pa nga lang s'ya, sobrang loyal na n'ya hahahahah.

Another side story: the reason why ayaw n'ya akong papuntahin nang maaga sa condo is dahil nasa Dangwa s'ya nung morning buying flowers huhu. I felt guilty because I sent cold replies pa sakanya kasi I thought ayaw n'ya ako makita. :((

🍫🎂🍺 I was still in cloud 9 with the flower surprise when he opened the ref para ipakita sa'kin yung cake, chocolates (na s'ya rin kumain nung half hahaha) anddddd my favorite beer like omg??? this guy really knows me too damn well. Funny part is earlier 'nung sinabi n'ya sa'king nag-grocery s'ya before namin magkita, biniro ko pa s'ya bakit hindi n'ya ako binilhan ng beer and he just replied "luh" hahahah.

💒🍽 At around 4PM, we went to Las Casas na. An hour late from our reservation so half-panic na kami. Luckily, they weren't that strict with reservation schedule. The place was really good, somewhere na we'd go back to in the future. After the nakakapagod na pag-iikot (and picture-taking haha), we opted to dine outside kasi mas gusto ko 'yung vibe. It was a decent candlelit dinner and it felt really good to date the love of my life under the skies kahit walang stars that night hay haha. A violinist also performed live and it made the place feel more romantic and I swear I'd really kiss him right there if there weren't like a hundred people around us HAHAHAH.

Side story #3: original anniversary plan was a 4D3N vacay in Bora but alert level 3 happened so we had to reschedule. I suggested a simple date in his condo as an alt, we can cook dinner and I'll just bring scented candles to make it intimate and somehow special. I'm so glad he made efforts to find a better place where we can celebrate. And it had scented candles too. 🤍

🎮 We stayed for roughly an hour sa lobby ng condo to do our usual mobile game duo thing. Since I was so shy na wala man lang akong anything for him, I just FT-d him pambili ng ML skins 😭 I hate myself for that pero we agreed kasi initially na we won't buy gifts or anything for each other, silly of me to actually believe na he won't surprise me with anything na para bang hindi ko alam how his mind works :(( Anyway, he got an epic, special and few other ML skins naman so pwede na rin HAHAHAHA. Nakakatawa pa kasi 'yung epic and special skin na nakuha n'ya, ako 'yung may main sa mga heroes na 'yun hahaha. He got the epic Mecha Baby Nana skin and Angela's Summer Vibes. Sabi ko nga, mag-free tutorial ako for him lol charity ko na as a Pasig number XX Nana, charot sa Barangay ko lang kaya mag-top HAHAHA *sorry ito lang aq intensifies*. And mas malakas s'ya sa'kin, s'ya yung nagt-top talaga sa Pasig HAHAHAHA CHZ KATURN-ON, FVCK HAHA JK. Anyway we played MCL, 'di kami nagu-usap gaano after the game kasi sobrang badtrip kami sa isang ka-team na nag-throw ng laro hahahahaha sayang 'yung tickets namin ugh kaya understandable naman 'yung shift sa mood.

💤 We went back to the unit na and... syempre skip ko na itong part na ito 😛 Kasi natulog lang naman kami 😏

🍕 We took home the tirang pizza from last night and that's what we had for breakfast. Half pa nung 12-inch na in-order namin haha sobrang sulit. Hindi namin na-enjoy nung una kasi it's quite salty then nung ininit na the next morning, it tasted 99% better haha *chef's kiss: painit edition*

🍺 I took the lazy Sunday opportunity to drink 2 bots of beer (by myself because bb is not drinking alcohol) pero he drank juice naman so basically he still "drank with me" 🙄🤣 I was drinking beside the balcony and the huuuge Jollibee sign was like literally next to my face so I told him I was craving chickenjoy pero he just shushed me huhu. We sang along OPM songs for hours until we unconsciously fell asleep together.

💤 I vaguely remember this but while I was sleeping, he whispered (with a really soft and low voice) na he's going out to buy us dinner. I really wanted to come with him but I was too sleepy to get up.

🍗 When I woke up, I saw him setting up the table for our dinner and I asked myself what have I done to deserve this man. 🥺 And it actually doubled the kilig when I saw the jollibee paperbag looool he really bought me the chickenjoy I was craving earlier 😭

Last side story: Jollibee is really special to us. It was the first meal he bought me when we first met. Around 4 years ago, 2018 to be exact, nagd-dorm ako near UE and s'ya naman, nags-stay sa condo near Welcome Rotonda. We were just a jeep away from each other so when I told him I don't want to eat dinner kasi tinatamad ako, he literally went to my dorm at 1AM with a Jollibee supermeal 😭 I was sooo shy that time and even told him I'm gonna pay for the meal and delivery hahahahaha 😭 Umambon pa nung pauwi s'ya so medyo nakakahiya talaga (and nakakakilig 'yung efforts n'ya hehe) given na he doesn't even know me personally yet that time.

Note: since any detail of this weekend can't go unnoticed, I really appreciate him for washing the dishes hehe (I kinda hate doing it tbh) pero as someone who only knows how to bake and hindi marunong magluto ng ulam (despite having parents who both cook so damn well 👌), my role on our condo weekends is to wash the dishes while he cooks. Idk, I felt like he really wanted to make the day special for me so he tripled his effort even on smallest things. 🥺 My best boy, indeed.

--------

❤ In those two days, the stories we shared to each other, the laughter, every lyric of all the songs we sang together. The back hugs, the number of times he touched my hair and my hand. Every little thing we did for, to and with each other... they all felt perfect. They are perfect.

The happiest anniversary so far because it just gets better every year. 🤍
