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. πŸŽ‚πŸ’€πŸŽ‰ 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., β€œNew mask, same task.”

Write II

Write II

While I still have air through my lungs
Relaying my feelings is something I must do
If there’s a chance my letter will be thrashed
That’s a risk I’m willing to take
Exhaling the worry, inhaling the courage

Ask I

Ask I

As I confess my innermost feelings to you,
Scared of outcomes, but being silent is worse
Knocking on your door, dear, please let me in
