 A very calm, alone Sunday. 

I spent the morning doing chores, cleaning, throwing things that I don't think I will need a use for, making space for moving and breathing inside this little sanctuary of quiet I have created for myself. 

I was woken up by the usual morning family video call, surprisingly, it was Papa's voice that I heard first! Our black dog, Noggie, is limping. Just like me! But I feel much better now, actually. While waiting for the spin dry of my clothes in the laundromat, I took time to practice some drills. Still very light moves but it felt good to be out in the sun. 

Then, I just stayed home after that. 

I was able to go over my payables and savings for this month! It is actually short but I had been able to move around some funding to make sure that I get bills paid with minimal unpaid responsibility, at least for this month. 

I finally had the chance to binge on Designated Survivor, it had been on my downloads folder for awhile. 

I had to pause it for a bit to write a social media post for our island school's current condition and it had been heartbreaking. It is as if every chance I get to talk to the school director is precious. Knowing that she is well and still sound so jolly. A relief and a bit of fear at the same time. 

They are living on a different time from a few weeks ago, I can only imagine how hard it is. Being poor was something I am continually working hard to be out from and it is never easy. 

Then, I realized, if ever I will work for a president, I can work as a Speech Writer! Writing publicity posts for our island school stirs a lot of emotions in me and whenever I get to read back what I had written, I just am proud and amazed of how my brain works in weaving words and narratives. 

Last episode for Designated Survivor and I am calling it a day.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...

11 Things I Will Miss

-
Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....
