At Last

The song changes me. Or is it Beyonce’s voice? Either way, I’m moved to the core and whatever negativity and cynicism that may have inhabited me vanishes as soon as At Last floods in the room with its melodious and heart-melting lyrics.
It feels like I’m transported suddenly to a time when I hadn’t had my [...]

Buwiset

Kagabi natulog ako nung hapon tapos nagising bandang 6pm. Pagtingin ko may 3 missed calls galing sa di kilalang number. Syempre inisip ko agad importante kaya nagtext ako.
ako: hi who’s this pls?
sya: y who r u?
Isa lang ang masasabi ko sayong hayup ka na may number na 09267009147:
Pakyu, kung sino ka man lintek ka! Buwiset! [...]

President Obama’s Inaugural Speech

My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the [...]

Fairy tales

Nung bata ako, naniniwala ako sa fairy tales. Masaya kasing nakakapanood ng mga nagkakatuluyan dahil sa true love. Yung tipong magkatitigan lang, sa simbahan agad ang diretso. O kaya nagkabanggaan lang, nagkangitian, tapos simbahan ulit ang diretso. Nung bata ako, akala ko lahat ng kwentong pag-ibig sa simbahan ang diretso. Hindi naman kasi ako nakakapanood [...]

Sunday Monday

I think it was the first time I went home at 3 in the morning for two consecutive days. And the first time that I drank for two consecutive days. The same drink. At the same place. All fun, by the way.
Last Sunday, Donna and Nang were talking about something serious that needed to be [...]

Marvin Agustin is a load of crap

I’ve always believed, in my heart, that Marvin Agustin is full of crap. And now, with his new Bear Brand commercial, he’s proven just how much crap he is actually full of. His ridiculous commercial features him talking to a bunch of kids, saying he used to wait tables as a kid, and look at [...]

Fruitcake

Poi finally came by this evening and gave me THE fruitcake she has promised to give me since before our graduation last year. Haha YUMMY!

Full moon

On education part 1

Education is not equal, no matter how much people believe it to be, and teachers want it to be. Education is biased, and unequal, and sometimes leans on to those who can pay more to get the better end of the deal. Or so they think they do.
In elementary education, the discrepancy of the education [...]

The Catcher in the Rye

This is my favorite book, and it’s difficult to choose what part in the book I love the most, but here is a line which really kills me. It’s the last two sentences in the book.
Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

Tumatakbo

Tumatakbo ang oras naiiwan na ako ng panahon~
Halos lahat ng kalabtim ko dati, may mga anak na ngayon. Hindi ako nanghihinayang na wala akong nakatuluyan sa mga yun, pero hindi rin ako mapalagay na may anak na sila. Hindi yun selos. Nalilito ako kung masyado silang mabilis o naiiwanan lang talaga ako? Kung papipiliin ako, [...]

On relationships

I’ve already established within myself that I am no good with long-term commitments. Friends are okay for me because there’s no bond or anything that keeps you together other than platonic love. There’s no pressure or requirement you have to do to maintain friendship. And by requirement I mean perpetual emotional assurance. Friendship is involuntary, [...]
