Sometimes we look at the mirror and feel bad about what we see. Those annoying pimples and those belly fats bulging out. That kinky hair or that super skinny body. So ugly, you may tell yourself. Continue reading “When You Don’t Feel Good About Your Body”

Palengke Chronicles 10: Disneyland
Ang Palengke Chronicles, si Aling Mertha at ang limang taong gulang na anak nitong si Buding ay pawang mga kathang isip lamang.
Pero dahil matagal na akong hindi nakapagsulat ng kwento nila Aling Mertha, 7 years old na si Buding ngayon.

Summer na naman ‘no. Ambilis ng panahon. Andami na naman nagpapapayat para makapag tupis. Yung ibang bilbil di pa naka move on sa Noche Buena eh kaya mag rash guard na lang daw kesa tupis.

Finding Odd Things While Searching for Inspiration
I was at my lowest yesterday. I couldn’t understand myself. I was so demotivated at work. I was lazy and I didn’t want do anything. I was analyzing what the problem is.

Andaming ganap sa buhay ko. Kape sa umaga, kape bago magtanghali, kape matapos mananghalian, kape bago magmeryenda, kape ulit ang meryenda. Sa sobrang dami ng kaganapan sa buhay ko, kape na lang ang nasa utak ko. Nasaan na ang paghihirap ko nung Oktubre na halos maipasok ako sa Coffee-holics Anonymous para lang maiwasan ang pagkakape? Pero heto na naman ako.

Island Guys – Doctor Quail
It was a slow and easy Sunday and my mind was wandering while I was in the morning briefing.
It was the ‘around the table’ time and it was our time to bring our news or any info to the table. My turn came and I didn’t have anything important to say. I then listened to what my other colleagues had to say. Continue reading “Island Guys – Doctor Quail”
Guys of Male’ – Taxi Driver
