Shortcuts
I’m taking a break from my studying for tomorrow’s (later’s) exam so I’m taking this chance to share a simple thought - one which I’ve been having since forever but never really as heavily as now. It’s a “life” thing… But the thought was triggered by a bag. Yes.
The other day, I bought a bag. It wasn’t the bag people who know me would...

I should be sleeping
…but I’m not. Not yet. I’ve been thinking. Ignoring my ringing, beeping, buzzing, vibrating phone. Ignoring the beautiful Angel Aquino and her wonderful gown on this award show aired tonight on channel two. Ignoring the nail polish chipping off from my right pinky.
I mean… I try to ignore these. But the more we focus on ignoring, the more we really notice things.

Chopped
Yesterday’s entry was hella lengthy so I’ll keep this one short - just like my new do.
As promised last night, here’s my new cut! It’s more me now. Long hair suits my face, but this one suits my soul ;)
(It doesn’t show here but the longer side is layered and almost feathery. Love it!)
Miss Lynn Park of Hair Click (located at Bel-Air, Makati) gave me this gift...

No Creative Title for an Entry on Our Graduation...
Note: My quite tolerable face will be all over this entry. I apologize immensely. Teeeheeee.
//
Yesterday, our block had such a colorful half-day shoot for our graduation photos. A lot of people looked forward to it for many different reasons. Mine, as most of my Twitter followers may already know, was unrelated to our graduation, or even to school for that matter. I only looked forward to the...

"Total: $30.00"
We don’t know why we’re here but we’re enjoying, anyway. HAHAHAH. Netspeed @ Rob Manila. At 1 peso per minute, we can’t even play Counterstrike! Super bagal siguro today. Si mister beside us nanunuod ng movie sa Youtube. Nagtatantrums na. Hahaha! Yayyys.
No more money. Bye.

If I Die Young The Band Perry
“A penny for my thoughts. I’ll sell them for a dollar. They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner, and maybe then you’ll hear he words I been singing. Funny, when you’re dead how people start listening. If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses, sink me in the river at dawn, send me away with the words of...

On "Putang Ina" and Other Profanities of Life
I should be asleep now but our Manila Food Habits documentary entitled “Altanghap” has messed up my body clock over the weekend ever so badly. I just finished having dinner (it’s a bit past 4am) and I was kept up by my dad who suddenly gave me a crash course on lighting basics and lighting design. I am so drawn by my dad’s sideline job as a technical director for events...

I would like to assert
…today’s productivity.
Today, I woke up at around 1 in the afternoon. I ate my Mom’s homemade pesto pasta topped with veggies, rested back on my bed, received a text from Joko asking where I was and that he was near my house, met up with him after a few minutes, and walked to the nearest convenience store with him.
I had a popsicle, and then walked back home when he needed to...

Online = Not Yours
More than that it looks almost like a guitar pick, the new badge below my details and my Bloglovin’ widget is somewhat a spark of hope for me.
I have been writing for posterity for longer than I could imagine, and for the most part, I’ve been doing it online. I’ve seen one of my poems posted twice, verbatim in other blogs, and I have let these pass thinking these were innocent...

Inspiration: To Find & To Be
“I think most of us don’t know why we do it - it’s like a calling.” -Fafi, French Graffiti Artist
Passion is beginning to become one massively overrated concept when it shouldn’t be. I think passion is so beautiful, so complex, so… deep. So much of those that to say “I am very passionate about this” just to get a slot in a talent competition is...

Second day of this.
DAY TWO: TOP FIVE FAVORITE BOOKS YOU’VE READ FOR SCHOOL
I think I’ve forgotten most books I’ve read for school except for journals, researches, and exceptionally good textbooks (like my Philosophy book back in my Freshman year and our Econ Anthropology book this semester).
Now, I apologize to who made this challenge for tweaking this a bit. I will only be...

1: Excuse Me
I like being asked questions. I think it’s always nice to take the risk of sharing a part of oneself. It’s almost like creating art; ending up with something that not everyone may be pleased about yet still having that urge to present it to the world. No need for feedback, no need for appreciation. Perhaps just a little respect will do.
I’ll try doing so for 30 days.
This is a...

Do not settle
for filler “I love yous” and short “how are you” moments.
When you are young, you can play sports, watch movies, and do anything leisurely with tons of energy. You get to know each other and do it actively. But when you grow old, and all your children and grandchildren possess the energy you only once had, when all of them had finally gotten married or had finally decided...

Sa Silong ng Langit
Many students take pride in their internships in really big, famously rich companies. I have nothing against that or against them. “To each their own,” as they say. But I, personally, choose to go somewhere real, somewhere that would not fulfill my dreams, somewhere I’d rather be somebody else’s hope to dream.
Our course is multidisciplinary, encapsulating Psychology,...

Paraluman: Exhibit A (A & L)
If you follow the things I write here, you should know I have mentioned in one entry how I have 6 important men in my life - my dad, my Vincent, and 4 awesome soul mates.
“I do not know what force of the universe has drawn the 5 of them to my life, or how this force has drawn me into theirs. No matter, I’m glad I’ve got these boys to back me up and take good care of me and me to them.

Manila Ocean Park, 2011
We do not know how we made it through the day with the self-timer of a basic digicam paired with the haggard faces that reflected bankruptcy.
Perhaps it was divine intervention, or perhaps it was our love’s emergency luck.
Either way, it was a pretty day. Thank you for the pretty day.
Oh, plus we met a new friend, Oscar. He seemed quite fishy, though.
All photos taken from...

Sensitivity
We can never please everyone and we have to be true, but this doesn’t give us the license to hurt others. Sabi nga ni Sir Villar, “while we have the right to sit anywhere we want to, stairways included, other people have the right to go down the stairs safely as well.”
Respect is (and must remain) universal.

Dragonfly Fingertips
Earlier tonight, I had the urge to paint one of my Pampanga shots. I wanted it on canvas but I currently have none at home. Hence, I looked for my sketchbook for salvation. Unfortunately, I forgot I had my very close friend borrow it. Lex! Give it back na please, thanks. (A lame and petty excuse to cover up how much I miss him).
I, then, tweeted these almost 4 hours ago:
Ayun naman pala. Sa...
