Dito sa Kalakhang Maynila, nararamdaman mo ang pressure na sundin ang ginagawa ng iba, ang hindi sumunod sa mga patakaran o sa mga tamang gawi para maging maayos ang takbo ng buhay sa isang lungsod. Continue reading
Exhaustion. That feeling where you feel extremely tired, like a weight you carry on your shoulders. That feeling where you like you need to lie down but, at the same time, need to push past it to finish the task at hand.
A walk in the park
In a perfect world, I’d wanna say that the year that was anything but different, were nothing life-changing occurred.
But this is not a perfect world. The year 2017 AD have seen great changes to my personal life as I slowly progressed through my late twenties. Continue reading
Today, I just burned through five chapters of Mockingjay during my idle time in between tasks. This is probably the only way for me to get motivated into reading a book I bought just so I could manage to to finish it. It’s the same thing I did for Catching Fire where I previously stopped while I was barely a third into it more than a year ago. Since bringing the second Hunger Games book to work a couple of months ago, I’ve managed to finish it within that time frame, probably faster than when I read the first book at home (which was about three months). At least this way, I could get my eyes to be used to something other than staring at a computer screen all day.
Since getting my first pair of of corrected glasses 15 years ago on 5 January 2001, my vision has gotten more blurry. I don’t even recall what grade both eyes are currently have but one thing’s for sure, I have what they call an astigmatism.
So today, 2 January marks the anniversary of my entrance to the workforce. Indeed, it was barely 24 hours into 2012 when I received that fateful text message telling me that I was accepted into my first job and that I need to report for work the next day.
Celebrating a Worksary like no other!
It’s been a while since I did a write up on the year that was. The past couple of years offered nothing much to write home about especially with me having been in a perpetuated state of limbo since I got let go from my previous job and none of my goals, from establishing a freelance business to studying a foreign language, didn’t materialise. Doesn’t help that the people I thought I could count on, especially my dad, couldn’t support me in my endeavours.
A look back to 15
In any university or college, one of the last things you do before fully graduating is to produce a thesis that you could present to a group of people serving as your panel, showcasing your research on a topic centered on a particular subject that you have to defend.
Death at Home
One thing I don’t like about masa stations in general is how they all sound the same: DJ’s with names that are as ridiculous as their supposed on-air “personalities”, playlists containing the same set of old yet overused songs from the last 3 decades getting played just about every hour day in and day out, and of course the giggling raksasas creeping in the background and stingers of women sexually hungry for an orgasm.
After more than 3 years of fearing the inevitable, it finally happened. After 17 years on the air, Studio 23 is finally folding up to give way for a new sport-oriented network to take its place.
Farewell, Studio 23.
2012: A year of b!tchslapping, bedhopping, sex, scandal, amnesia, murder, abuse, kidnappings, magic, baby-switching, DNA tests and some light-heartedness for a change.

Every year, the average Philippine drama continue to be the TV industry’s bread and butter that rakes in the millions that keep TV networks afloat. 2012 is no different.
Some titles played safe this year while others took unexpected risks in terms of storytelling, most of them geared on character-driven stories instead of plot-driven ones. Regardless, soap watchers will always tune in on the TV to watch their stories on a daily and nightly basis.
