I was listening to this Vanessa Williams song a few days ago, humming along to the lines unfamiliar to me and unabashedly screeching to the lines I was familiar with (as a pitiful attempt to complement the singer's beautiful voice). (Un)fortunately, by the time the song got to the "For whether we are white or… Continue reading Colours of the wind

Downtimes.
We're stuck in an immediate world. We wake up to deadlines, and we usually sleep half-heartedly because we're always nowhere near close enough to what we have to accomplish for the day. We yearn for breaks, yet we use them to think about what has to be done, what hasn't been finished, or what needs to… Continue reading Downtimes.
I may be wrong, of course, but prove me right
Lately I've been yearning to develop the habit of proving people right than proving them wrong. It's simple, really. Too often we allow ourselves to be surrounded with people who would rather see us fail, and not always in the little ways. Some of them have abandoned the idea of playing fair long ago, and… Continue reading I may be wrong, of course, but prove me right
How to walk
Tread lightly, human. Leave footprints in places and allow parts of yourselves to stay with people you encounter. Let the world know that you arrived, but do not be obnoxious about your entrance. You are only here for a moment. Tread lightly. Cup your hands and lower them into streams, ghost your fingers over flowers… Continue reading How to walk
Another space for me
Anyone who knows me know full well how much of a camera fan I am, and how I would prefer being behind it than in front. And while I am nowhere near good at what I love to do, I think it's nice to have a place where I can keep track of the… Continue reading Another space for me
Before I write my personal reflection
Evening meditation: Feeling sad this Christmas? Many people do. Comparing memories of happier Christmases with this one. Thinking about loved ones who have died, or from whom we are estranged, or who are no longer in touch with us. Worries about work. Worries about health. Feeling left out. Feeling lonely. All these things can conspire… Continue reading Before I write my personal reflection
So… what are you doing?
You know this already. Countless of articles and videos and people have probably raced me into telling you this, and you're probably sick of having to be reminded over and over again, and it's probably tempting to close this tab when you traverse your way to the second paragraph, but in case you forget... … Continue reading So… what are you doing?
Word vomit
It's probably nothing but folly, or paranoia, or the very human tendency to fear though probably unnecessary, perhaps unnecessary?, hopefully unnecessary; but I do. I fear. It cripples me to no end -- rendering me incapable of speech, thought, sense. If I wouldn't be anything much more than I currently am, does it matter anymore… Continue reading Word vomit
PSA of some sort
The second half of the year means the arrival of tropical storms, and tomorrow, Glenda (international name Rammasun) is expected to make landfall in Luzon. Stay safe, everyone, especially those in the Philippines!
Quarter to 4
I fell asleep at 11 last night. After a 6 kilometre run and a quick dinner involving shrimp, pesto, and pork rinds, I barely had time to freshen myself up before I dove into the airbed facefirst, pajama askew, a with bit of my pink underwear poking out as if to say a greeting. That… Continue reading Quarter to 4
