I was on my desk looking over a pile of scratch papers filled with mathematical equations, when I began to browse YouTube, on my phone, to rest my deflated brain. On my recommendations, I saw a thumbnail of an anime girl with the title containing the word 'Filipino'. Curious, I clicked on the video and … Continue reading I entered a Weird Rabbit Hole

Talent Shows
My elementary teacher decided that we would be having a talent show tomorrow. My classmates were excited, but I, on the other hand, was soaked in cold sweat. I always dreaded talent shows because I didn't have any talent to show off. I can't do anything at all. I can't draw, juggle balls, dance, nor … Continue reading Talent Shows
Put the whole world on mute
Life can get overwhelming at times. The pressure from your relatives. The extreme judgement of others when you make a mistake. The lack of money to be able to pay rent, bills, and food. The pressure to perform at the highest level. The inability to get a secure job. The unnecessary stress that was put … Continue reading Put the whole world on mute
When do dreams change?
Dreams change all the time. Your dreams as a child will never be the same as you see more of the world. Dreams change through our circumstance, that’s a fact.

To force or not to force.
I was thinking of writing another personal story, where I'll share something that changed my perspective. These stories typically do well and people do like them.

So confusing, very confusing.
Fuck me in the ass. I’m receiving too much information, and I don’t know how to process them at the moment. It’s all conflicting. Everything is. Everything that I’ve read, studied, lived, and experience are always in a state of conflict every time I read a book about something. It’s always been like this, and … Continue reading So confusing, very confusing.
Why ask for delivery?
I just saw something baffling. I saw someone receiving a delivery for a McDonald’s meal when the restaurant is literally a five-minute stroll away! I was like, ‘Huuuhhh?!’ I tilted my head so fucking hard in confusion, wondering why they would do that in the first place. Are you really too lazy to walk for … Continue reading Why ask for delivery?
Stuck
We're bombarded with so much information that we begin to believe being uncertain is wrong, when being uncertain is the only thing that's keeping us moving. We're so stuck on wanting to be certain, before we get moving. Sometimes, it's just best to turn our brains off and let the world handle the rest.
Washing Dishes
There's a therapeutic effect whenever I'm washing dishes. I don't know why that is, but I feel good doing them and I feel at peace. I don't know if it's because I'm progressing towards a cleaner home or because that's the only simple thing that I need to do and never worry about the other … Continue reading Washing Dishes
