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…

To the Beach We Go! | Juancho’s 9th
Road trip Southbound! Celebrated Juancho’s birthday at the beach! (post pandemic shenanigans) Much needed break from everyday and so timely it was also a holiday. We stayed at Casa Praia along White Beach in Punta Ballo, Sipalay. It’s a private beach house with 4 bedrooms (10pax capacity) and 1 and a half bathrooms. It’s fully…

38th | And my August Pt. 2
So after spending a week in London, off to Paris we go. We took the Eurostar to Paris, just 2 hours train from London. This was actually near Kings Cross Station, where platform 9 3/4 is but we did not have the time to visit the place. Maybe next time. Day 1 We met up…

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
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…

You Will Heal
I’ve visited pain inflicting places I swore I never would.Dove down to hurtful memories and surfaced out of breath.I’ve listened to tear stained songs I thought I couldn’t bear to hear.Laughed like a crazy woman between mundane circuses.I’ve danced tirelessly on the dance floor since after I thought my bed was my only comfort.I’ve opened…
