My Walking Music Mix
It’s not specifically because of the lyrics or the melody, or the beat. It’s because they all make me feel something satisfying.

Comfiest Places: A Random Thought
I was on my way out the other day and once again I fell into this routine I realized I have. Strenuous prepping and dressing up.
When I go on breaks slash vacations in other places, I try to be comfortable at best with the clothes I wear. Most times I just have my jeans/shorts + shirt and a pair of comfy slip-ons. It hit me like a rock on the head. Shouldn’t it be the other way round? I...

More than just a five-letter word.
My dad rushed my brother out of the gym. I wasn’t sure what was with the rush. People from all sides were greeting my brother for a job well done. They were congratulating him, saying things like “Good job!” and “Hey idol!” But that wasn’t enough to comfort him for their loss. How do I know? I just do. He is my brother after all.
It was a great game. Great...

A wild, wild world.
What would you rather have? A glazed piece of information or a fact? Sugarcoating or uprightness? When people say something that offends you, do you think about it? Do you start to ponder or do you simply let your own default thinking push it over and think they’re wrong. You say to assure yourself that they don’t know anything.. they don’t know you. Comfort thinking. Is it a...

My dad, myself and music.
I was 7. My dad would always play a CD. He would play it again.. and again. After a few days, another one. And a different one. When my dad wakes up, he plays one first. I wake up to that tune. When he comes home, he takes care of a few things while listening to one. Before we eat, he would turn the radio on or put on another track.
And then I was 10. My mom calls me because we are about to go...

Where you are. Where you want to be.
I am jealous.
When I was about 7, I always had to travel with my family. Did I just say “had to” like I was forced? Yes I did. And yes, I was. I never liked travelling. It made me throw up — second (after sweating) which I hate the most. I always thought, “Aw man. Do I have to go?” I guess you can say I made up my mind then. At seven, say “travel” and by...

My Alternate Universe: A Very Short Story
For some reason, thinking of Douglas Adams and his universe.
I woke up to find out my Sunday was unbelievably free. I let this sink in.. but it doesn’t. It seems I cannot fathom the fact that I still get free days. Last Friday I woke up with a high anxiety level. I should have seen the hint of stress. It was the first time I’ve had a bad morning in months.
That same week I have...

Always in the wrong places.
“You do not remember? That was a semester ago and you do not remember. Shouldn’t you all have a memory which will be good for at least 4 years to store everything you have to remember since you’re already in College? Maybe you should have a list of the most important things so you can just dump or forget everything else and just leave those of greater value in your memory. Your...

What are you, really?
Every time a person is in front of me, I start to assess. In my head, I’m like, “What are you, really?” Acquaintances, friends.. Do you not know the difference?
I always come across people who do not know the difference between friends and acquaintances. It’s a common mistake. Why? I’m sure as hell I didn’t know the word “acquaintance” back when I...

July 15th, 1988.
This is not a movie review.
I feel the sudden urge to re-read “One Day”. Yes, it was pretty depressing. But no, it was not at all that bad. It was actually pretty good. Although I get why most people won’t be into it.
I saw the movie last friday. I have to say, I expected too much from this film. Kind of like when I saw the movie adaptation of “Water for...
