One More Week

I'm pretty sure it didn't make sense to many that I am doing the 40-day fasting for my faith (it's Lent!) but yeah, I am doing it and we're seven more days to the finish line. To be very honest, I'm not comfortable with discussing this as I don't really flaunt whatever I do for my religion, but generally, it's about completely taking meat off my meals. And for someone who really loves meat, this is indeed a sacrifice. And as much as it made me feel one with God somehow (I...

Day 3: March 13, 2018

I halted my gym training. My pneumonia came back and I seemed to have determined the cause why it wouldn't leave, finally. It's probably because I don't sweat that much in the gym. My mind will tell me that I am really sweating a lot because of my cold back but when I put my hands inside my shirt, there would be nothing. But the back feels cold and I'm guessing...

DAY 2: March 5, 2018

So it took me four days to decide that I should get into the game again. Health and schedule permitted so I went with Jane and Emil again to the gym.

Everyone's...

All of us driven by the purpose to actually (and for real) lose weight. Pound for Pound Fitness is a relatively new fitness gym situated in Ibayo, Marilao, Bulacan. It is on the third...

Para sa marami, masaya kapag umuulan. Ang tunog ng bawat patak na nakikipagniig sa bubong na yero ng mga bahay-bahay, ang mapagpahingang samyo ng paligid dulot ng paghahalo ng tubig at lupa, ang malamig na simoy ng hangin na tila nagduduyan sa kanila patungo sa pagtulog ng mahimbing – lahat ito ay dahilan para sabihin ng marami na masaya sila kapag umuulan. Ulan ang nagsisilbing pagtakas nila mula sa kani-kanilang nakakapagod na mundo. Ulan ang nagsisilbing kanlungan ng kanilang...

For most times, I've always considered myself a disgrace. When you're suffering from anxiety and depression at the same time, such conclusion is never difficult to arrive at. I mean, it happens. I feel so lacking, so much like a burden to everyone I work with. Constant validations are a necessity and the paradox of my personality always demand to be felt. It sounds like I'm so fucked up, but yes, I am. But during times when life decides to shed some light on my darkest days,...
