cancer journey on instagram

2022-09-17T06:07:00.001-07:00

I decided to put into instagram my cancer journey. I just wanted to let out of how I feel during this phase of my life.There are times when I feel like I want to distance myself and just hide in my safe space… in my bubble.I am still thinking of the content though. Despite establishing my IG for cancer, I still want to keep this blog, and I don’t want to redo or to hide my older thoughts.&

The Coconut Knot

2020-08-01T22:41:00.004-07:00

Just the other day, I was craving for coconut milk. Then suddenly a coconut milk vendor passed by, he was selling coconut milk and fresh coconut water, eventually, I chose the latter. I observed how he prepared the coconut water… and I realized that if I would be just getting the water, this in return, will eventually generate waste – the coconut meat, the coconut shell and the

Frustrated

2020-07-10T07:40:00.000-07:00

Super frustrated on how things are unfolding right in front of me. Frustrated on how people get to celebrate the loss of more than a thousand jobs. Frustrated that schoolmates whom I have known from decades ago, who underwent the same science and technology training that I had, believed stuff other the ones presented with facts. Frustrated of my country right now. Pilipinas,

Poetry Reading with my noise canceling headset

2020-07-10T06:44:00.000-07:00

I bought a headset from an online shop. I was a bit skeptical if indeed it has a noise canceling feature. It finally arrived and I tried talking to friends online while it was raining hard, and amazingly they could not hear a rain sound coming from my end. I tried using it on my poetry reading sessions. Here's a sample.

Poetry Reading

2020-05-25T11:34:00.000-07:00

Videos about voice over have been trending on my feed. I tried doing my own version of voice over through poetry. My first few videos where I tried by just reading the poems with certain emotions are ok. And here how it went: Then, I started changing the modulation in this particular video. It made a lot of difference though. Haha. Will try to sustain this.

Poetry Reading Series: I Could Pee On This Anthology

2020-04-10T10:18:00.000-07:00

Reading another two poems from Chapter 1: Family Why are you screaming? Who is that on your lap? This book is relatable! About a week ago, my cat was able to find a little mouse. She played for it for quite a long time, and when she's done with the tiny little thing, she left the mouse with all of its intestine all over. Urghhhh!

INTROVERT

2019-04-09T07:21:00.002-07:00

Friends see me as an extravert... but my tests would often show results of my introversion. Though, I often identify myself to be an introvert, it was only September last year that I paid attention about it when I took the 16 personalities test where it revealed that I was an ISTP-T. I took the test again (twice) a week ago, and just to make a point out of its result, I took one earlier,

Philippine President

2018-06-18T23:29:00.001-07:00

Rodrigo Duterte is a traditional politician with the 3 Gs typical of Philippine political environment - guns, goons and gold.He is raping the country and the quiet and remaining supporters (what is left of the 16M) are all enablers to the emerging social and cultural climate of the country - corrupt, anti-poor and misogynist.-- Sent from Gmail Mobile

A year ago

2017-10-31T10:06:00.000-07:00

Around this time, last year, I was excited preparing for what I was hoping to be a once in a lifetime adventure - where I would do what I "was" passionate about, and at the same time explore the land of promise. Five months after, I left the job. I did not have the adventure I was hoping to experience. But I got to meet really nice people. Pen and Tatay Ibs were the first

sexual harassment on a minor

2017-10-27T05:14:00.000-07:00

so, I learned from sister-in-law that one of his senior staff sexually harassed one of her staff (who is a minor)... I don't know how to handle this kind of situation, but, I have to be biased towards the kid. While we were talking about it, two of the kid's cousins passed by our house. Because those cousins are males, you could feel the testosterone acting up, they wanted to right away

is it the weather?

2017-10-10T01:08:00.002-07:00

maybe, I have been trying to mask it? Was I able to get over it? Was I a sad little girl? I don't know. I am not even sure if I am depressed... but, I have been feeling really sad these past few months. It feels like my happiness is just temporary, and when I am alone, and when I think of life - a sudden rush of emotions would overwhelm me. It's like I am drowning, and I need air. hope

Who the heck is DanTDM? I often hear him on youtube because of my nephews. And I have been pretty much familiar of his voice already. For those who do not know him, DanTDM is pretty much popular to kids playing Minecraft. He gives review and would often walkthrough people on the latest features and addition to the game. Per wikipedia: Daniel R. Middleton (born 8 November 1991), better

OMG. I just saw my cat, Nite, peed on the toilet bowl! I am sooooo freaking proud of him. It's been weeks already that I noticed paws-markings on my toilet bowl. I was so scared that they've been drinking from there... but, lo and behold, he was pee-ing like a princess with peircing dagger stare on me. Hahaha! I am just a freaking proud momma! 💙 -- Sent from Gmail Mobile

Cyber bully

2017-09-28T03:16:00.003-07:00

This movie is a good take on cyber bullying. Well, aside from the fact that Arya Stark is the protagonist, the movie showcased the fact that Maisie Williams can act. And, hell yeah, she is good at this movie. :D (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
