Sometimes I wonder if this is just a me thing but-
If u’ve grown up in a conflicted home (family) and have faced major financial difficulties individually and as a family, do you have a tendency to be… not adventurous?
As in taong bahay. Mahilig sa domestic life and routine.
Floods may seem fun for others, pero ‘wag pa rin po natin kalimutan that it’s not just a water. Remember, hindi lang po tayo yung nakalutang, palutang-lutang din po yung mga friends din nating daga and leptospirosis. Stay Cautious and Healthy!

One of my bosses (a lovely lady) verbalized something that I had to violently learn after being in long term-relationships for 10yrs (several).
“Look for someone who matches the energy that you give.”
Parang at the end of these relationships kasi laging feel ko na ako lang
Someday someone will love you better than I did. Will give you everything I gave and more.
But yeah- that’s why the microwave didn’t beep (though I’m sorry for the coffee grinder). Why the toilet and the sinks were scrubbed. Why the meals were often prepared, why dishes were-
Sinabi sakin ng ex ko in the presence of myself and his new boylet:
“Three years with Von was ✨nothing✨ because you gave me forever within the numbered days!!”
O ayan fault in our stars ta rupam 4 months lang kayo HAHAHA (we’re actually still best buddies HAHAHA)
You should be aware of your triggers. Like alam mo dapat kung fair ba na magalit ka or sadiyang triggered ka lang because of past trauma or whatnot.
It’s not fair na pag-initan mo ang mga tao in the present because of something in the past that they have nothing to do with.
“Opposites attract” is a hoax.
Pag may “edad” na ang relationship niyo and there is no longer a burning passion- it’s your common values, hobbies, traits, friend circles, families, quirks, plans and dreams, etc. that will keep you together.
Maybe an aversion to spontaneity rin… like… nalulula ako sa mga biglaang ganap.
Tuwing may biglaan naaalala ko yung feelings pag akala okay at tahimik ang lahat tapos nagaaway nanaman ang parents and my life is once again thrown into disarray.
Quiet love and dead love are two different things.
The bosses have been married for some time and one of them “speaks love quietly”.
“Tahimik lang iyang si ✨. Busy yan sa work but maya’t maya I’d catch him looking- smiling at me. And we’s just smile at each other.”
So I bought coffee beans and it turns out the barista was cute-
Tapos first time na natanong ako publicly and openly ng-
“May grinder (coffee beans) po sila, Sir?”
And oh boi did I feel my cheeks heat up 🥴
A friend who I took 4th yr law with, who I graduated law with, who I took the bar exams with, and who I passed the bar exams with, has just passed away this morning.
Our batch had just celebrated our first “anniBARsary” a few days ago.
He was only a few years older than me.
Siguro later on in life pag malaki na yung buffer for emergency expenses mas madali akong tawagin at ayain. Pero as of now? Na di ko alam kung may pambili ako ng bigas kasi pinili kong gumastos lumabas- nope. Ang hirap.
Di rin ako financial risk taker.
Hirap na hirap rin ako sa biglaang aya “tara here tara there” as in lalo na’t wala pa akong matinong savings as a new lawyer. Feel ko may sasabog na expense maya’t maya tapos boom nagaatos ko na yung oera ko kasi ng bar ako o di kaya nag LU or Baguio
at ang ending non gutom ako
Yeah a bit strapped on cash (esp. since baby-lawyer salary pa po tayo) but boi being able to live alone- the tambling tuwing petsa de peligro is worth it.
yung mas loving, willing , devoted, forgiving, like super tanga levels. I’m always left bitter and feeing shortchanged.
I need to look for someone who won’t only match the energy I give, but will also RETURN IT TO ME. Hindi yung putanginang sa iba yung Return of Investment.
Was told kanina in a way na kulang lang ako sa k-word
which is tru
HAHAHAHAHA but
Now after a long day after ticking off so many things off my list just want someone na makakakwentuhan about how our days went. Ano ganap sa office/hospital lol. Sa friend group? Kumusta parents?
I am as worthy of as deep, devoted, forgiving, and abiding a love as the love I give out.
I’m am more than your farking “learning experience”, “tapos na ang role sa mo sa buhay ko”, “tinurutan mo akong magmahal” and whatever bullshit excuse on the book.
The reason why- even from my general loneliness to my deepest, greatest, moments of grief I would assure: focus on you. I can manage. Don’t worry about me.
It was love. And I gave love in the softest, gentles, and best way I knew how.
Never was the PDA type of guy. But I do appreciate the arm around the shoulders or waist esp if ppl are giving the sultry look to either of us.
Ibang usapan tho if you walk like 5-10 steps ahead that I’d actually wonder kung may point ba na sinama mo ako at all.
Some men just look like they have premium membership sa pagiging pogi ano? 😭😭😭
There’s that different level of fresh and glowing na pakshet pano ba iaachieve??
Sana someday may magdala sakin sa pride like some precious trophy na masarap iflex, instead of some kind of stain on their pristine white shirt na kailangang itago, or the elephant in that room they were forced to bring along but would rather not talk about.
It’s been quite another journey around the sun. Grateful for (almost) everything from the lessons on adulthood and accountability, to the violence necessary for those lessons to stick.
(Pero quota na tayo. I hope the next year will be kinder, gentle, and softer. Generous rin.)
magically cleaned. The reason there was often one discreet can of Vienna sausages- I know you like those when you’re too lazy to prep meals- that magically restocks even after you’ve eaten them.
Why the bills were paid. Why the plants were watered. The reason behind-
Yeah dating is cool and fun pero taking responsibility for a person’s happiness and well-being is a big commitment and quite often costs money (which I don’t have) kaya single single muna tayo haha
The “how was your day” “wag kang magpapagutom”. Why medicine was stocked at no cost. The offers for a massage after a long day. Why I asked about the latest workplace gossip.
The compliments for your OOTDs. The “hello, pogi” for every selfie posted. The “I’m proud of you!” for-
Exactly a year ago found out that I passed the bar at the place where I had decided I would become a Bedan: Beda’s Abbey.
Told no one where I was, and I had already made arrangements to retake the bar- allowance, revirew center, part-time jobs. All planned.
every achievement, big or small. The predictable flowers and cake for birthdays and monthsaries and Valentines. The reason I try to make you part of my family, and why I always check on yours. Why my hand rests gently on your leg or knee while we watch TV.
They say na when you’re with some esp pag long term you look like them. What happens once it’s over?
Recent pics look different idk maybe? The vibe is different, definitely. The eyes kinda sharper, I think.
Parang mas matapang. Mas matigas. Nambabalibag charot HAHAHA
Before the day ends- 9 was my number long before I decided to share it with someone else. So to take it back, I guess I did something for ✨me✨
If you want to make sure your love doesn’t become a dead investment, be sure to invest it in yourself.
Growing older can be lonely ‘no? Everyone gets busy with their own thing and all that. You get busy with your own thing, too- juggling “you” while trying ur best to water the individual gardens that are your friendships- not sure minsan which plots flourish and which will wither.
Took the long weekend as an opportunity to think about the thoughts that needed to be thought (kaya mahirap akong hagilapin at matumal ang replies lol).
It’s almost scary to realize how much internal rebuilding one has to make after… let’s just call them harrowing experiences.
A lot can happen in a year.
And indeed, a lot has. If you know, you know.
Not just by my merit, but by the merit of the entire village that got me here and made sure I didn’t give up until I got here.
Thank you.
Balak nilang ipagbawal ang visitors sa Sun Residences lagpas 12MN.
Thinking of formally requesting the reconsideration of this rule and starting a signature campaign against it 🤔
So I’ve been at this for a week using the lightest weights kasi WOW NABIGLA AKO NUNG FIRST SESSION.
Pero let’s put this here as a ✨baseline✨ para makita natin (more importantly, ko) kung san ako nagsimula.
✨If this actually goes somewhere baka parang mga relasyon ko lang—✨
I hope I fall deeply in love with people who are just as deeply in love with me. Who will carry me in their hearts as eternally as I carry them in mine.
Palaban ako para sa mga mahal ko at gusto kong isipin na I will show up when really needed. But I hope the feels are mutual.
Tayo’s Mula sa Buwan 🌙✨
Wanted to watch for the longest time but for some reason when we were about to book our tickets nung 2022, hindi talaga pumapasok yung booking. Almost late for the show too- pero I guess this time meant to be na ✨
No malice. No hatred. Just people having good-natured fun- just to happens to involve Christian symbols.
Minsan mas marami pang malisya at kasamaan behind “propriety” and politeness.
People need to understand that we at legal have rules on perfected appeals for a reason.
This is so that judgements can “rest with finality” for the sake of the winning party (whoever that may be).
This would be easier to understand if things went your way, tbh. But-
So you’re telling me the Supreme Court affirmed the ruling based on a technicality, not on substance?
The more I grow up, the more I realize the “gods of Faura” are nothing more than old people in flood-prone, trashy street.
That I am a textbook example of a hopeless romantic that doesn’t have a practical place in a realistic world. The one na laging “MAS” nagmamahal- even when he tries not to.
Oversimplification but- isa lang kasi akong lonely boy who desperately wants someone to share life with.
May client kami noon na ako ang naghandle on the receiving end of harassment like this.
Nung lumabas yung mga subpoena galing ng Office of the City Prosecutor biglang umapaw ang mga sorry at may peace offering pa.
Sumugod na po sila. Muntik na ako tamaan ng malaking bato. Pinupwersa na rin po nila buksan ‘yung gate. ‘Yung barangay, nanonood lang and wala rin silang nagawa sa mga ito.
