smell of love
Dinner with this man's, friend of my parents', family. Every time we meet his family, it's always split, naturally, into two factions - the females and the males. Without a choice, I'd have listen to the dads talk. Every time they talk, it'd be always about work. This time was no different but the energy from the man that day was different. He'd just moved onto a different company with a higher…
If there's one person I dislike, it would be my mom. But dislike is a too strong of a word. The way I see her is, if I was in a Truman show, "you're seeing this?" It's funny because I have a strong feeling she sees her mom this way too. Every time she has a phone call with her mom, she looks and sounds incredibly annoyed. I recognize the tone. But who am I to judge? The times she talks nicely;…
I have a writeup kept in the drafts close to a month now. The problem I am facing is self-inflicted. Every back-to-back sessions, I'd manage to figure out a better way to structure my article. I'd go through phases: 'Not convincing enough', 'Too shallow', etc... The rewriting is never-ending. At this rate, I'm not going to be able to finish this...
(Notice the space right there?) While I was sulking over the Odyssey , sitting next to me was my girl friend who actually loved the movie. Said she's read the original text and that I should read it too. For some reason, I couldn't dare to speak up, tell her: 'Ultimately the movie's what matters, not Homer's text'. I suppose I didn't want to spark a debate, the 'Everybody's entitled to their…
Not sure if a spoiler alert is needed considering Homer wrote it 2000 years ago. But if you haven't watched the movie, maybe watch the movie first. I don't usually bother writing movie reviews because it always seemed like a pain in the ass. But seeing people handing applauses after the ending, seeing the abundant 10/10 reviews online including from my friends, I couldn't help but to write what I…
after my WhatsApp account got hacked, I was forced to reactivate my Instagram account for a good reason. I needed to inform my close contacts that, well, they need to ignore whatever shenanigans my hackers are pulling off. That was a good call because the hacker started spewing expletives on my church groupchat. Imagine if I never posted the Instagram story.. My reputation would fall right there.…
I don't know what's scarier: that 'spreading LGBTQ culture' is now considered a national threat, bearing the same weight as terrorism, smuggling of drugs, separatism, gambling ... or that the President can push for such regulation 'unnoticed'. This regulation was passed in October 2025 yet we're only talking about it just now? The worst part is countless people have already sung their praises to…
Just a dude trying out a new fashion accessory. Recently got a silver ring for my left index finger. I don't like going overboard so I keep my style as simple as possible (says millions of people as well). But I have a feeling I'll be wearing this ring for a long time (the same cannot be said of the following accessories I've tried) I've tried bracelets, can be allergic at times, and if you wear…
THE YOUTH WILL TALK SHIT ABOUT OUR GOVERNMENT (YES THEY HONESTLY SUCK) YET WILL COMMIT BLATANT HYPOCRISY IN FRONT OF YOUR VERY OWN EYES AND PUT OUT THE BIGGEST SMILE ON YOUR FACE. I AM HONESTLY DISAPPOINTED. D-I-S-A-P-P-O-I-N-T-E-D. LEADERSHIP HAS BECOME CONFLATED TO BECOMING A LITERAL GOD. LEADERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT BEING A MEGALOMANIAC. IT IS ABOUT: TEAMWORK. NOT SIMPLY RELYING ON YOURSELF.…
Everytime Phoebe appears in Catcher in the Rye, I'm on the verge of tears. 'Daddy's going to kill you' 'He's going to kill you' I don't know what is it. I wish I have somebody to care like Holden with Phoebe. Once upon a time, I ran away from home (it didn't last a day). Anyways, I decided to hit the cinema. For the hell of it. It was completely spontaneous; I quickly picked a Doraemon movie. To…
You can take the man out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the man. Hopefully I'm using that phrase correctly Today, I got pissed. I was planning to campaign for club presidency but--this is a first--the President has decided instead to elect the next President and Vice President! As if they forgot the reason they became President was that nobody elected anybody. Anybody could…
