Ang Palengke Chronicles, si Aling Mertha at ang limang taong gulang na anak nitong si Buding ay pawang mga kathang isip lamang.

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. Kaya mas mabili ngayon dito sa palengke ang mga rash guard. Tapos salbabida. Continue reading “Palengke Chronicles 10: Disneyland”
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. My bosses are good and we have an amazing team in the department. The company is good. The people in the island treats me well. So whats wrong? Maybe I am just burned out or over worked. Maybe, I need a break. Continue reading “Finding Odd Things While Searching for Inspiration”

Ilang buwan na ang nakakaraan nung nanghamon ako ng Maldivian.
Atapang. Atao. Ako.
Hinamon ako ang kaalaman ng isang Muslim tungkol sa Qur’an.
HAHAHAHA. Continue reading “Hinahamon Kita”
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.

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”
It was a very warm afternoon and I was sweating in and out, standing under the heat of the Maldivian Sun, waiting for a taxi to take me for a ride to the ferry terminal.
Siguro ay nabalitaan niyo ang trahedya ng mga Honeymooners na namayapa habang nandito sila sa Maldives (sumalangit nawa, at nakikiramay ako at nalulungkot sa kanilang sinapit) at siguro ay nag-aantay kayo ng post ko tungkol dito (yaaak, feeling sikat?) kaya ito na at magpopost ako.

Nasa airport ako no’n at nakapila na para magcheck-in sa counter ng Singapore Air (inemphasize ang airline dahil gusto ko magmukhang sosyal) ng marinig ko ang usapan ng mag-asawang Puti at Pinay. Naisip kong taga Australia ang lalakeng iyon dahil sa accent niya at isa pa, halos lahat ng nasa flight na iyon ay mukhang sa Australia talaga pupunta kasi madaming taga-Australia sa flight na iyon at maraming Pinoy na may Australian Passport. Hindi naman ako niyan masyadong usyosera. Continue reading “The Privileged Ozzy”
