    Shackled to a Delusion

    I’ve had quite a number of conversations with a couple of friends about how people are forged into incredible human beings when given money and power. And by incredible I mean sometimes, no, maybe oftentimes, being totally absurd and ridiculous. In the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment, modern society has fallen victim to a pervasive…

    Meet You in Singapore | 2023

    (Here I am again, writing something months later from when this actually happened, sorry.) If you have been following me for quite some time, you might well know that me and my friends have this annual thing every Valentine’s season. Every February for the past decade, it has been tradition for us to go to…

    End of 2022 | New Year 2023

    2022 was like cryptic poetry. A stack of unopened boxes full of mystery. It started with intimately wrapped presents encased under pretty gift wrappers, opening to a delightful surprise at a new dawn. A series of firsts after the long lockdown and life began to restart after 3 years. Work came in full swing and…

    38th | And my August Pt. 1

    Here we are again, late in posting as usual. I have to get back to my habit of writing for sure. This year’s August was memorable. Marks the first time I get away since being locked down by a global pandemic (that just had to happen in my lifetime!) almost 3 years ago. But first,…

  • Lonely Thursdays

    Lonely Thursdays

    It was a lonely Thursday when I impulsively got on that plane to find myself.  Soothe the trembling hands from a longing so unbearably painful, the noise from my throbbing chest so awfully loud.  Is this how it is to love truly? To intentionally be blind from candied lies and dilated pride? Could I even…

    The Kids are Out | Holy Week 2022

    Writing this in the rainy season to maybe remind me, us, some remnants of summer. First proper vacay out of town for the kids, finally out after 2 years! Now off to Boracay Island! Road trip took maybe 4 hours if we haven’t stopped by some Mcdonald’s and Jollibee to eat. Aftermath of the typhoon…

    Masks Off | Manjuyod Dumaguetme

    Photo dump of the first proper beach trip I’ve had in 2 years (since lockdown) and this was actually work related. Manjuyod Sandbar The last time I was here was ages ago, no structures at all, just that sandbar. So fresh! Dumaguete The boulevard now has an extension at the far end of the strip…

    37th | Still not moving

    Not sure why I can’t really get around to writing anything on here these days. Not considering I have been veeeeeerrrrrryyyyy busy with work, nevertheless I do get off days too. And I mostly spend it just lying in bed and sleeping or scrolling thru my Instagram feed, playing mobile games, watching Netflix and a…
