I just woke up from an hour long nap on the plane, if you could call that a nap. I was watching the second episode of “Unstable” and had a chicken BBQ bun that didn’t taste like BBQ at all, before I finally dozed off.

I was about to try to go back to sleep since we’ve got an hour more to go before we land, but I couldn’t, so I munched on the remaining pieces of my Sour Power twizzlers.

Then I…

Waking up early,

ahead of everyone else

quiets my loud mind.

Fresh-brewed, black coffee,

paired with pandesal and eggs.

Nothing could go wrong.

Something feels odd, though.

My pandesal seems smaller.

Smaller than my hand.

Inflation is it?

that deflated this staple?

Now quiet mind explodes.

Today, I wrote on my IG story: “Taking advantage of my adult years, when I’m not too young to be broke and not too old to lose the ability to try new things in life.” I was supposed to go with Eric Jorgenson‘s quote, but I’m trying out this thing wherein I make my own version of EVERYTHING. So, what do you think, did I do Eric’s mantra justice?

When I say…

LIFE LATELY / not a year-ender

Last night, I was asking J, the boyfriend if he’d allow me to become a full-time artist, coz it’s all I want to do with my life and what I would probably die doing.

Someone said that if you want to know a person’s passion, try asking their parents what he/she loved doing as a kid while he/she was on his/her own. Growing up, we also learned that PASSION isn’t just something that you love doing,…

If there is one thing that remained constant in my life from the beginning, it would be ART.

I’m not sure whether I was just greatly influenced by my father, who is an artist or was inspired by his creative space at home and at work or was just born to embrace it as if it were my lifeline, the very essence of who I am and who I am supposed to be.

When I think about ART, it makes me cry a little…

Is there such a thing? All I know is even kids these days have super sophisticated lives. This is probably why I’ve been yearning for such a life for a long time, and now that I’m much older, I’ve never wanted anything more.

Lately, I’ve been winding down by watching house tours. I’ve been super keen on getting inspiration from celebrities such as Emily Ratajkowsky (her NYC apartment is my dream…

I think it’s about time to finally write something decent about my sister. After all, she’s been my silent confidante since the beginning of time, way before the dinosaurs walked the earth. lol.

In a month’s time, she will be getting married. I know that it will happen for her eventually, but it shouldn’t be this fast, right? To me, we are still in high school and all our problems still revolve…

HOPE AMIDST DARK TIMES

It’s been exactly a week after the elections, yet I still have a heavy heart, with crying bouts every once in a while when I am overwhelmed with emotions and fear of the unknown looming over. I cannot seem to accept the truth or “the truth” that is forced upon a nation that only truly wants good governance.

It’s only been a week, yet I have cried more than I did after a break up. It pains me so…

How many times have you been hurt? When was the first time you did? Any debilitating ones? And do you also ask yourself again and again, why the heck do we need to experience pain?

As I write this, my eyes are a bit swollen from crying about a certain character in one of the fictitious series I’ve long been following. I won’t spoil anything, don’t worry. When the episode was over, I took a leak…

First things first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAMA MARY! Haven’t prayed the Rosary in a while, but glad we were able to squeeze in a quick trip back home for Mama’s birthday over the weekend—this meant praying the Rosary as a family every day after dinner. To me, praying has always been very calming and assuring, giving you a feeling a feeling of certainty and safety amidst all evil. Speaking of…
