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

Why I Used to Avoid Barbershops
When I was a kid, I used to avoid barbershops all the time. Whenever I’m in one, they would always give me the shittiest haircut that made me want to be bald instead. It made me insecure about my hair through elementary and high school, but what can I do? It was all we can … Continue reading Why I Used to Avoid Barbershops
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
The Bathroom is King
Many would say that the most important room in a house is the kitchen. I disagree. For me, the most important room — and will always will be — is the bathroom. The bathroom is a cornerstone of a house and no one can deny that. Without a bathroom where would you relieve yourself? Outside, … Continue reading The Bathroom is King
Oh, the irony

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
Things don’t have to be complicated
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
Disappointing fall
I had this professor who was an amazing teacher when I was a freshman. I always believed that his classes where the ones to go to when one was in doubt. I was wrong. I didn't know at the time that his quality of teaching would peak at first year. I already had an amazing … Continue reading Disappointing fall
Benta
Sa buong buhay ko hindi pa ako nakakapagbenta online. Nakikita ko lang yung ate ko nagbebenta ng mga cookies at mga ganon pero hanggang abot-abot lang ako sa courier. Yung bunso naman namin puro virtual mga ka-transaksyon umaabot siya sa MMORPG, Crypto, at kung ano-ano pa! Hindi ko nga alam kung papaano gumagana yun eh. … Continue reading Benta
Another Experiment
I noticed that I've been writing primarily in English in WordPress and most of my essays, stories and journal entries for the past few months. I want to change that. I believe that would be a good idea for me to get in touch with my roots as a Filipino. Living in the Philippines, people … Continue reading Another Experiment

There were times that I've enjoyed the beginning of a story that I ended up binging most of the content only to find myself disappointed at the end because they betrayed and failed to deliver on their promises. These are the said stories that I loved so much but ended up being a disappointment in … Continue reading disappointing reads
