Last week, I was thinking of practicing my writing. I had this idea for months, but never got the opportunity to do it. I already had a plan in mind. All I have to do is visit one subreddit, choose one topic, then write on a daily basis. It’s simple, right? Yes, but to me, … Continue reading Things don’t have to be complicated
‘The Paper’
The last quarter of every grade level has always been stressful and mine was no exception. In the final two weeks of the last quarter of Grade 8, my friends and I arrive at school with baggy bloodshot eyes as we push ourselves completing our yearly clearance. The deadlines were creeping, quizzes were alarming, and … Continue reading ‘The Paper’
The first success
When I was a kid, my friends and I were walking down our neighborhood selling candies and chips in our little baskets. We were shouting with our high-pitched voices persuading the adults to buy. Our grandma saw us and bought all we could offer. Even the baskets! We were ecstatic! We went to a nearby … Continue reading The first success
the ‘secret’ hideout
In the summer of 2006, in front of our house, lay an abandoned lot lush with green and varying insects. Deeper inside that pseudo-jungle were kids of different ages gathered around a barely recognizable bonfire discussing today’s activities. It was the gathering of the kids in the northern part of the subdivision. We called ourselves … Continue reading the ‘secret’ hideout
There was an idea to create a small project
The intention of the small project was to hone independent skills in programming. The project idea is simple actually. It’s a Renting System. Basically, the system would automate the billings for each tenant in the apartment. It will output a pdf file that is printable to be given to the tenant.
The things you do for content everyday.
I’ve been posting consistently for the past 15 days already. There was engagement but now it lessened. Kinda sad but that’s okay. It wasn’t my intention anyway. My real intention is to practice consistency. I’ve been trying to dish out content for other platforms as well. It’s not all about writing but also about small … Continue reading The things you do for content everyday.
Money can buy you happiness. You can’t convince me otherwise.
You can do so much with money. Focus on your hobbies, help people, do research, and your health. I can’t really understand why people say that it doesn’t buy happiness. I just can’t. Things would be a hundred times easier and convenient with money. I can only assume that people who say that line aren’t … Continue reading Money can buy you happiness. You can’t convince me otherwise.
Starting something you’re not good at sucks.
I’ll make a painting. Oh man, it doesn’t look good. I guess painting isn’t for me. I’ll answer this coding problem. Oh man, this is too hard. I guess competitive programming isn’t for me. I’ll write my own story. Oh man, this story is too shitty and boring! I guess I’m not cut out to … Continue reading Starting something you’re not good at sucks.
We always wanted to be good
To be good at something. Doing something so easily and so professionally. That’s the dream. Doing something hard so effortlessly is intoxicating. But being so good to do that, takes a lot of time being bad. It sucks.
Wanting to grow up to be independent.
I'm in this portion of my life that I want to get a job and get the fuck away from this place. To give context, I'm not a rich person nor I am a poor one. I'm in between. However, life fucks you up and pushes you around. So we became poor. Our family became … Continue reading Wanting to grow up to be independent.

Pork Sinigang
There's nothing better than a hot bowl of pork sinigang. You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even for a midnight snack (I'm just saying). It's stupid versatile, and it's so easy to cook like what the hell? Onions, tomatoes, assorted vegetables, a half a kilo of pork, and the secret ingredient, sinigang … Continue reading Pork Sinigang
Actual Account
I began writing short stories around 2021, during the pandemic. I had nothing to do, and I have a lot of things I want to say. It was around that time I began having a backlog of stories I haven't posted because I was too scared of sharing it to the world. Each story represents … Continue reading Actual Account

Lotto
When some people win, they have a noble goal of sharing it to other people. Be it to charity, family, or someone who supported them in their lives. I'm none of that. I'd rather keep the money for myself and invest, invest, and invest. Live off from the dividends and have yourself a nice comfortable … Continue reading Lotto
Support
I'm writing again because a special person in my life pushed me to continue writing. Her support lifted a lot of weight on my shoulders, and I no longer feel burdened by the feeling that I only amounted to this. If I'm not doing this for myself, then I'm doing this for her.
Messenger
I extensively use Facebook's Messenger app 99% of the time. Sometimes a few call here and there, but most definitely just Messenger. From catching up with friends and talking to my girlfriend, it meets what I need.
