A Letter to My Future Self

Dear FutureMe,


Hello you! Two nights ago last year, you celebrated your 59th birthday hosted by a former classmate, a true blue Theresian named after the month of May wherein both of you were born, in a function room in the high-end, high-class Shangri-La condo Horizon Homes located in a posh district of Manila in BGC which you seldom go to. Like every joyful celebration, birthday or otherwise, it would be a fleeting moment that you wish could have been longer.


Well, you made it a vow to make your days on earth a celebration of sorts anyway, whether by eating out alone, having your mall walks and window-shopping also by yourself, etcetera etcetera. To make happy moments longer that can even last forever. Your philosophy in life is if you don't appreciate your own company, nobody else will and you wear this like a badge of honor. So maybe these solitary days are just a launchpad for even happier days ahead when you can spend them with a few good friends that mirror your soul.


On your 60th year, you will see yourself as a completely brand new person, completely rejuvenated by an acquisition of happy moments in small, medium or big instances. For you to do this, you should not take little things for granted as you find tiny lights peering through the little cracks of your life that is bound to happen in every one's. If you can't, maybe you should make it your mission to do so and look harder. That way, you would have transformed into the best version of yourself you've only dreamed of through the years. Standing tall and proud, active, and busy pursuing your life's purpose. Perfect. Happy. Unencumbered. Finally.


You too can write to your future selves here.

Happy Ears-ter!

Today is Easter Sunday! Not wanting to pass it up like it was an ordinary day but the beginning of the Advent Season and the end of Lent in the Christian Calendar;  I thought I'd post something special...like this cool Van Gogh Cake art I snagged somewhere on the internets . I wish I'd have a cake as beautiful as this one on my birthday. What follows by the way , is an earful of self-advice that could easily apply to Vincent as well ie, if he were still alive.   This is probably his best form of resurrection though… as icing on a cake, just   like how he would thickly apply paint on a canvas.  Alas, all I have is the Art I get and freely give and although they're not flattering all the time, they're also non-fattening.  It's N O T y e t   my birthday though. It's just a reminder of what's unspokenly in store for me come  May 20, my 60th!  Can you believe it? 00001100001000011100000011100000110001100010000011100111100011000110001100 BONUS Content: OMG. He

Fuck Imelda and her minions!

Choose your battles wisely. Today I choose to wear black in solidarity with the people who remember this day as a day in Philippine History Infamy when Martial Law was declared as Presidential Proclamation No. 1081. I don’t need to elaborate our collective consciousness any further because if you’re still breathing, then you know. NO to the Marcoses who wrecked this country, robbed it of hope and continue to rob it and wreck it mindlessly! Just like genius, idiocy has no limits. At least genius would know how to maintain good composure. So I say vive la différence! Between them and me, let's see who has more mileage. People of the Philippines, if you don’t know where you stand, know the difference between right and wrong or light from dark and choose to be in the dark rather than embrace the light in front of all of us, then anything goes for you. If at this point in time and it’s been 51 years of trickle-down hell, you don’t even care to think about what’s good for you, then no

Ciao Febbraio!

Febbraio in a GIF Ciao Febbraio! Ciao è Ba-boo! Cougar t-shirt. Puma shoes.   I didn't even know it was a Leap Year until Feb 29 came today!  Maybe I really am a cat; born a cat and trying to dive in my own kitty litter of an endless Dune sandbox which I had the opportunity to grab in the mall yesterday. I went to the gym early so I can watch the movie Dune on its opening day unhampered by the usual swarm of mall-goers/movie viewers I anticipated would greet me.  As it turned out, only five people were watching the movie and it was the "weekday crowd"  so...  it wasn't really a problem. Anyway, because of this, I had many chances of getting fairly good selfies here and there.   As someone might say, "the early cat catches the worm" :-)  and that I definitely deftly did. I hope.
