Not Just Anyone Could Be the Muse
Lately, I’ve found myself pulled into the world of Filipino music. It probably has something to do with me being in El Nido, where I often hear these tunes playing in the background, especially when I’m at Prince Hypermarket. I guess I just wanted to feel more connected to the local culture, which, funny enough, is my own country. (Alright, I took a pause from Tech House and Techno.)
So, I jumped in. Not the surface-level kind, but the ones that hit deep, the kind you hear on a quiet night that suddenly makes you feel everything. The more I listened, the more I realized: damn, these songs are tagos hanggang buto! They feel like pages from someone’s diary, sung out loud.
The Tale of the Avocado
Several mornings ago, I attempted to eat the only avocado that’s left in the kitchen sink. I was waiting for it to go ripe. When I bought them from Marikina, I specifically asked for a few that will go ripe in two days. Not tomorrow, but in two days.
It was over two days.

A Favorite Neighborhood Break
Spent some time looking for a new pair of running shoes, browsing books, having coffee, walking- as usual and enjoying my favorite neighborhood.
