Happiest Batman Day to every fan of the Dark Knight around the world! 🦇 A long time ago, Makati was a place I frequented. Happiest birthday to the personification of evil that gave me life, The Undertaker. Cheers to The Lord of Darkness. 🎂💀🎉 Today, in celebration of my main blog’s third anniversary, I picked three of my favorite written posts (all of them were published in 2025). My definition of heaven on earth? Seeing the @FooFighters rock the Padang Stage at the Singapore Grand Prix last year. I will miss this holiday season. At the same, I’m thankful for it. This 2026, I will do the best I can to update my social media accounts, most especially my Instagram. As you can see, I’m starting all over again here. Please watch this space in the coming weeks. To quote the iconic Robert Downey Jr., “New mask, same task.”

Take III

Take III

To the ones begging to fade away from life,
A reminder: your death’s not scheduled early
Keep alive and focus on the smallest of lights
Every poor soul’s end shatters my dark heart


Take (Poetry Series): I, II, III

Take II

Take II

Thinking about continuing is pointless
A spoke on the wheel, unseen, irrelevant
Keeper of the scythe, obtain my soul
Every road leads to this lonely void


Take (Poetry Series): I, II, III

Take I

Take I

Tons of money and jewels that reach the sky
All the things on earth they can own and buy
Kings and queens in their own fantasy land
Everyone outside their world be damned
