Master of Arts in Housewifing

Last year pinag iisipan ko na kung kukuha ako ng Master's. Kasi kung napapansin mo, mapurol na ang lapis ko - hindi na ako bida bida na katulad noong college days ko, hindi na ako tulad nung dati na bibo-bibo magsulat sa blog at sa work. Ngayon ako na yung pabigat sa lahat hahahahaha malayong-malayo …

Balabal

Bawat salitang binibitaw mo, bawat galaw mo, nagmamarka sa akin sa matagal na panahon. Gusto niya akong bilhan ng balabal, pero tumanggi ako. Sinabi ko na hindi kasi ako gumagamit nun, sayang lang kung ibibili sakin tas ipapamigay ko din sa iba. Hindi siya effective against sa lamig kasi, lamigin talaga ako. So syempre ang …

Plastikada

Ngayong buwan ay inimplement na ang pagbabawal ng paggamit ng single-use plastic sa aming opisina. Samantala, noong nakaraang buwan naman ay dumalo ako sa screening ng "The Story of Plastic" sa UP Diliman, kung saan tinalakay ang pinagmulan at patutunguhan ng mga plastik. Parang kahit saan may plastik. Kahit yung panghilamos mo sa mukha, may …

#Unbothered

This is my worst habit - yung paglalakad. I mean, hindi naman masama ang maglakad. Pero kasi ako, kahit gaano karami ang pera ko, kahit anong oras ako abutin, kahit pagod na pagod na ako, maglalakad pa rin ako, instead na sumakay ng tricycle. Eh madalas ang dinadaanan ko eh madilim, hindi matao, tas alanganing …

Dorm

I think it's about time. Mag-iisang taon na akong nagtatrabaho sa Manila, pero sa QC pa rin ako umuuwi. Isang oras papunta, dalawang oras pauwi, kasi wala ako masakyan. Kaya hindi pa ako lumilipat kasi mas mura yung binabayaran ko dito ngayon, kumpara doon sa lilipatan ko malapit sa opisina. Alam mo ngayon ko lang …

Bulacan

Sitio Pariahan. Actually kaya ako napadako ng Bulacan ay dahil isinama ako ni Ron sa pagshu-shoot ng documentary nila (Siya yung director neto btw), tungkol sa innovation at technologies, etc. at ang focus niya ay yung sinking cities. Kung napanood mo yung IWitness, itinampok doon ang Sitio Pariahan bilang isang "Isla na Walang Lupa". Sinasabing …

"Tumataba ka ah." Di ko alam kung anong trip neto, magpaparamdam lang naman to lagi pag kailangan ng pera haha (salbahe). Pero bat ganon, sesermunan niya ako sa mga ginagawa kong desisyon sa buhay (aka paglalandi) na parang mali ako? Pero ok naman yung buhay ko in general? Normal na yung malungkot pero I'm on …

Ashfall

Nasa Sta. Mesa ako nung mabalitaan ko to. Akala ko normal na activity lang yung nangyayari, hanggang sa nagchat na si Don na umuulan na rin ng abo samin. Syempre kinabahan ako, bakit umabot hanggang doon yung abo? So malala na pala yung nangyayari sa Taal? Alas kwatro pa lang pero ang dilim dilim na …

Wala na akong pake.

Hindi talaga ako mahilig magbasa ng libro, alam mo ba, bilang lang ang tinapos ko. Puro history/philosophical books pa ang binabasa ko non.

Paulit ulit ko lang sinasabi sa utak ko: "Wala na siyang kinalaman sa buhay mo." "Wala dapat siyang pake sa mga plano at desisyon mo." "Wala kang kailangan sa kanya." Pero yung totoo, lahat ng mga pinaggagagawa ko defense mechanism ko lang talaga. Tama ka. Defense mechanism para layuan mo na ako. This was my …

Ang Pasko ng Malagasang

It's the time of the year again. Kanina, umalis ako ng bahay ng alas-singko ng umaga. Madilim ang paligid, may tumawag sa pangalan ko. de joke lang. Usually kasi gabi ng linggo ako umaalis. Pero ngayon inumaga na kasi tinamad na naman. Usually din sa golden ako dumadaan. Pero ngayon, sumakay ako pa-Imus. Ngayon ko …

Umiiyak na naman siya sa harap ko. Sa akin pa rin siya komportable na ipakita ang totoong nararamdaman niya. Nalulungkot ako dahil sa sitwasyon niya ngayon. Pero tahimik lang akong pinagmamasdan siya. My pride speaks at the back, "de ginusto niya yan, yaan mo siya". Kaso hindi eh. Pag nakikita ko siyang nahihirapan, nahihirapan din …

Deactivate

New Year's Resolution ko nung 2019 ang magdeactivate ng facebook. Nung time na yun kasi nakakadagdag sa anxiety ko yung facebook (sabihin mo nang kaartehan to pero seryoso, ganun ang impact sakin). Lagi akong nakakakita ng mga posts about breakups, etc tas natetempt ako ishare lagi so mukha akong nagkakalat ng basura noon. Tas dumagdag …

Ang weird, kasi hindi ko na siya nakikita as genuine, pero bakit kapag nagsasalita siya, everything makes sense? We know each other so well. Lagi ko sinasabi to. Akala ko ako lang ang nakakakilala sa kanya ng lubusan. Pero siya rin pala. Alam na alam niya ako. Alam niya yung dahilan kung bakit hindi ako …

Oo nga pala, ganon din pala siya sa iba. Kala ko sakin lang. Akala ko special ako haha, akala ko ako yung may significant mark sa buhay niya, kasi ako ang pinaka-nakakakilala sa kanya. I mean alam ko lahat, even the worst and the dirtiest flaw he had. Alam na alam ko maski kung kailan …

Kasal

Kaya pala yung mga recent post ko ay ganito: Mirrors. Maliit na bagay. Lover. Kaya pala hindi ako makatuloy tuloy maging seryoso sa relationship. Kaya pala patalun talon ako from one to another. Hindi dahil sa di ako maka get over sa ex. Narealize ko, all the time I was looking for someone to settle …

Been there. Done that.

(Might delete this later) Totoo to, pag hinahayaan mo na lang lagi, pinapalipas, or tinotolerate yung actions niya, yung ilang beses na siyang nagsisinungaling sayo lol, nasasanay na siya na 'ok lang' sayo. Umaasa ka na balang araw mababago yung ganung perception niya, pero hindi eh. Sa umpisa syempre mararamdaman mo na ok lang tanggap …

Maynila (2)

Imahe

Pinagtagpo. Ngunit hindi tinadhana. Nandito ako sa balkonahe sa hotel na tinutuluyan ko sa Antipolo habang sinusulat ko ito. May writeshop pa kami bukas. Wala akong tulog kagabi kasi I've been somewhere else. Pero mag-aalas dose na pala. Hindi pa rin ako inaantok. Alam mo ba yung 500 days of summer? - Habang nakatambay ako …

Aftermath

Kumusta ka naman, Shaira? May bahagi ng alaala ko ang nawala. Yung mga kaganapan nung gabing yon, hindi ko pa rin natatandaan. Tapos feeling ko tumanda ako ng sobra. Nahihirapan pa rin akong igalaw yung ulo ko. Mas mabagal na akong kumilos. Mas mabagal akong magrespond ngayon ewan ko ba, bibilangan mo muna ako bago …

Blank Slate

Shet. - So heto na, pagkagising ko ang sakit ng ulo ko, malakas daw yung pagkakabagok ko. Ganito yung nangyari. Buong friday wala akong ibang ginawa kundi …

Tulay

Ang mga tulay ang nagkokonekta sa atin patungo sa iba. It takes both sides to build a bridge. Pag mahina ang pundasyon ng isa, madali itong magigiba. But instead of building bridges, we build up walls. Hindi mo nakikita kung ano ang meron sa kabila hanggat hindi ka tumatawid sa tulay. May mga tulay na …

Triangulo

May mga pagkakataon ba sa buhay mo na, pag napapatingin ka sa salamin eh nasasabi mo na, "Parang hindi ko na kilala ang sarili ko. Hindi na ako to." Dahil sa kagustuhan mo na ma-please yung ibang tao. Para maka-keep up ka sa environment na ginagalawan mo, eh kailangan mong bitawan at isakripisyo yung mga …
