Nakapaglaro ka ba ng Gunbound? (ehem ehem napaghahalata ang edad) Sa mga batang hindi nakakaalam, isa ito sa mga online games noon, halos kasabayan ng Counter Strike. Hindi naman ako gamer pero natutuwa ako sa Gunbound kasi yung mga characters parang pokemon at uod. Ang cute. Continue reading “Noob”
Nung nakaraang buwan ay natapos kong basahin ang Desaparesidos ni Lualhati Bautista at ang Go Set a Watchman ni Harper Lee.
Kung hindi mo pa nababasa yung Desaparesidos, ang kwento nito ay tungkol sa mga kaganapan noong Martial Law at ang epekto nito sa mga mamamayan nung matapos na ito. Gayun din ang buhay ng mga NPA, pre and post Martial Law. Continue reading “Maging Tama Ka Man”
Ang hirap magsulat kapag matagal kang natengga. Actually, ang mahirap ay yung makapagsulat ng magandang piyesa.
So isasantabi ko muna ang pagpiga ng aking utak at magkukwento na lang ng aming misadbentyurs. Umuwi kasi ako, nagbakasyon ng saglit. Dalawang linggo. Pero andaming nangyari. Epic. Continue reading “Kwentuhan Tayo”
On the morning of Holy Friday, we parked our car in front of a vulcanizing shop to get both our front tires changed to gear up for a 2-hour drive.

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.

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”
