For me, it's hard to be authentic. I've always lived my life adjusting to people, so I won't get into trouble. Whenever I do this, they don't get in my way. No one is hovering above me with scrutiny, and I can be left alone. However, it made me paranoid. Whenever someone's mad, I always … Continue reading How Being Authentic Made Me Appreciate Life Even More

The College Friend I Respect The Most
I was having a lot of trouble recently. I've been barely keeping up with our thesis, and our group is on its way to finishing it without me. I felt bad, really bad. I don't want to be a God damn freeloader. I never want to be that guy. I always wanted to be the … Continue reading The College Friend I Respect The Most
I’ll Forever Remember This Moment
I’ll always remember this moment in time when I'm relatively poor. Imagine having a shelter above your head and technology and internet within your grasp, but only to barely scrape by to pay for internet, and bills. I'm so ashamed of myself. Despite having the leverage to earn money online and propel my career, I … Continue reading I’ll Forever Remember This Moment
The One Emergency Meeting That Changed My View on Progress
In the first week of September, my group mate initiated an emergency meeting out of panic. In shock, I rushed to Discord and talked to him about what happened. He said we won’t be able to get data set from the previous researchers. And we won’t make our system in time! I knew it was … Continue reading The One Emergency Meeting That Changed My View on Progress
Antonio, Remi, and Stuart
I always see these little bastards every single day. They are extremely nocturnal, and they have this impeccable timing of coming out on the worst time. Sometimes, you’ll see Remi and Stuart on the fucking trash bin messing around. While, Antonio swoops out from the canal ready to fly. Man, this is why living in … Continue reading Antonio, Remi, and Stuart
Ang huling Filipino
Hindi ko alam bakit, pero kinakabahan ako sa mga sumusunod na dekada. Pakiramdam ko na mawawala at mamatay na yung wikang Filipino kapalit sa Ingles. Kada hakbang ko sa mga komunidad pangmayaman at ng pangmahirap, Ingles yung karaniwang kong naririnig. Kung hindi man nag-Iingles maririnig ko may nagtuturo sa mga bata kung pano magsalita ng … Continue reading Ang huling Filipino
With responsibility comes irritation
Man, I'm so irritated when people make my job harder. Like hello?! Can't you help me make my life easier? I'm doing my best for the house over here! Might as put the fucking dishes on the sink properly. Throw the garbage on time. Organize the laundry. God damn!
Honestly, the best decision I’ve made this year.
Earlier today, I've been piled up with tasks that I have to complete within the week. I was eager to finish them early, but there were too many of them. Each homework requires a lot of time commitment, and I felt overwhelmed. I knew that if I backed down here, I'll be right back to … Continue reading Honestly, the best decision I’ve made this year.
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. Also, the analytics supports this as well. With all that in mind. I still wasn't feeling it at all. I really don't want to write the story. But, I … Continue reading To force or not to force.
Oh, the irony
I made a post about keeping things simple. I mentioned there that overthinking and complicating things don’t produce anything at all. I also suggested that things should be a simple process that’s so easy to do. Yet here am I, disregarding all the things I wrote. Originally, I planned to post stories in a set … Continue reading Oh, the irony
