This Strange Feeling
The past few days, I have been feeling so down. So dark. I couldn’t really understand. I was questioning why I was here. I had that strange feeling of being lost, of losing my purpose. Although my purpose for being here is crystal clear, I am here to work. It was confusing. All I know […]

Negative, Ooh, Nega-Negative (ansaya saya)
Ang post na ito ay isinulat sa Tagalog para kung may makabasa man na hindi imbitado dito ay hindi maintindihan ang mga nakalahad. Isang umaga habang ako ay abala, nagkakagulo ang dalawa kong katrabaho. Palakad lakad sila sa labas ng aming opisina sabay lapit at bulong sa akin na positibo ang isa naming katrabaho na […]

3rd Jab, Reckless and Others
Booster I had my booster shot a few days ago, not because I wanted to. But because I want to tick it off that list. And it might be required sooner or later.

Halloween. Surprise. Surprise.
This Halloween was the first time I had to dress up and copy a character because I had to. For work. And boy, it’s tiring to put and remove makeup twice a day. So I salute cosplayers, drags, impersonators, and all who work in the field that requires them to use makeup all the time.

A Little Time In Between
Life has been hectic since I came back to the island on the 25th of August. I felt jetlagged for almost weeks. Not sure how to describe the feeling exactly, but it was like floating. My mind wandered off, and I could not focus. I felt so tired.

Life Lately

Of Happy Times

Salon Day
The speaker spat out gibberish 90s music. It was as if a DJ was scratching a turntable, like the songs were broken syllables followed by a period. Eight inches tall, the speaker stood beside the shelf that contained the hairdressing tools adjacent to my chair. One of the hairdressers sat comfortably on the couch watching […]

Quarantine and Chill
Coming back home requires ten-day hotel quarantine + a four-day home quarantine. I knew it was a ‘working quarantine,’ and I had books anyway, but I also subscribed to Netflix (finally) because I know I’d have a lot of free time.

Bringer of the Rain
It became my habit to look at the slither of light coming from the window whenever I open my eyes in the morning. As if my kind of day depended on how bright that light is. My alarm rang at eight-fifteen in the morning that day, and I saw the bright sunny light seeping through […]

Public Speaking + Visiting Butterflies
Public speaking is probably one of the biggest fears of all of us here, and statistically speaking, about 75% of the population has glossophobia. I’m a firm believer that to conquer your fears; you should not face the battle head-on. You should take tiny steps that will help you overcome it.
