  • I Forgot My Phone at Home Last Tuesday

    Originally written last January 27, 2021, 9:50AM I forgot my phone at home last Tuesday. It was not exactly a big deal since I no longer have anyone to send messages to throughout the day — well maybe except some friends whom I constantly talk to these past days. It’s…

  • Pandemic 1

    Streets and people have become quieter and movements slower.

  • Hug Me, I’m HIV Positive

    This afternoon, Sam and I went to the mall to spend some time together. It is like our weekly thing, just to see each other, talk in person and catch up. We were crossing from Trinoma to SM North when we saw a loose crowd on the bridge. Was it…

  • An Afternoon in Cubao

    It has been raining for weeks. I met up with friends in Cubao to catch up. One of them seemed to be much happier from where she is standing right now than where she was a few months back. The other is struggling to move on from someone whom he…

  • Don’t Abandon Ship

    As human beings, it is natural for us to look for pleasurable experiences which could light us up and make us feel alive. It has something to do with the chemicals inside our brain and the theory of learning. Certain activities like hugging someone you love or dancing to the…

  • The Escapist

    Today is October 31, 2018, Halloween. Most people here in the country are excited about that holiday even though we’re not actually celebrating “The Halloween”. What Filipinos are actually celebrating is “Undas” which is somehow, in my perspective, emitting the same vibe as the Holy Week — you know, the…

  • That Grandpa Who Was Standing Next to Me

    This is going to be a brief post compared to that last one that I’ve shared. So yesterday, Tuesday, I accompanied my father to the bank to get his debit card. All the seats were taken that time so we stood next to the last occupied seat. To pass the…

  • “Out and Proud”

    I have this female friend, and she had been in a closet for some time now. As I logged in on Facebook this afternoon, there was a message from her saying that she’s now out and proud. I feel so happy for her. I also felt an admiration because she…

  • Laban Pa!

    Sa totoo lang, may pinagdadaanan ako ngayon. Alam ng mga nasa paligid ko, lalo na yung mga malalapit sa akin na…kukuha ako ng board exam. Malapit na nga e, kaya medyo kinabahan na naman ako. Noong mga nakaraang araw, hindi ko na masyadong nararamdaman iyon. Ayos na ako. Medyo mas…

  • On the Train

    I was not at work today. Why? I was suspended for being late four times last month. Well, that’s the rule. This is just one of those seven days that I have to be punished with. Although, this is quite a privilege for me. I get to have an extra…
