 I deactivated my facebook account a few hours ago without any intention of getting back to it soon. I really hope I would be able to stand my ground about this decision. 

It has been total chaos. I couldn't stomach it. I couldn't stand it. 

My father voted for the son of a dictator, a fake-diploma holder and a tax evader and the only consolation I hold for that is his integrity. My father wouldn't stand by his choices without probable cause and justifiable reasons. I admire him so much for that, thus, I am really hoping that they might be right, and we might be wrong. 

My sisters and cousins took our rants to the Discord group for debriefing and I am so grateful for that. 

I started to re-read Offline, a book of collections of studies about how smartphones, social media and technology altogether is hacking our brains. Coz since yesterday, that's what I have been feeling. 

I took a long bath, washed my hair, did my evening skin routine, and now, sipping milk for bed but I would still be reading a few pages before I sleep. 

I would like to write about this day/evening as a reminder of a choice to find peace from within and solitude. 

I wish there is someone I can hug, someone who would listen and then tell me that everything will be alright, but all that stuff would have to be done to me by me. For now. 

As Gigi said, ..." never give up hope." 

I have so much of that. Even at this heartbreaking loss in the Philippine presidential election, I still have so much hope for my country.

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...

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....

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...
