"I'll only exert effort that's commensurate to my pay."
Sounds familiar? We’ve heard it from friends, sometimes officemates and people of all trades and industries. Taken to the extreme, of course no one in his right mind would do that. No one will do the electrical, mechanical, and plumbing for free when you are only asked to do the structural plans and calculations even if you have the capacity to do so. But to have this mindset every time all…

Converse Chuck Norris & Chuck Perez Series
Kung nagkaroon man ng pagkakataon na nahumaling ako sa rubber shoes, eto yung Converse na Chuck Norris series. Ang kagandahan kasi dito, babagay siya mapa-formal o jeprox ang suot mo. Simple, elegante, rock na rock. Isa pa sa mga pros neto e di mo na kakailanganin pang bumili ng running, walking, working, dancing, etcetera etcetra na sapatos. All in one siya, stylish; bagay na bagay maski sa mga…

🎶You don't have to grab my birdie, just call it and it will come🎶
Yung nasa unang chorus ka na ng kantang Please don’t touch my birdie ng Parokya ni Edgar, tapos bigla na lang bubunutin yung plug ng mikropono.“You’re road man, (shakes head) you’re road…” I was the quiet kid way back in high school. Normally that would be ok but the thing is, you’d be uncool if I was in a way associated with you. I was king clumsy and prince awkward, like a nerd, except for the…

The feeling that you suck at writing might be a sign that you're already getting good at writing!
The original post was made in Twitter and shared in Facebook. This one’s a gem and I do love it. Terrible secret: There’s a really awkward thing that happens to all writers (and other artists/creatives/makers).They get good enough that it becomes hard enough to write anything.As your skill increases, so do your standards. So everything you write feels mediocre.The weird part is that this…

KANGKUNGAN!
Whenever possible, Pinoys will always choose to be healthy. An example of which is Juan’s preference for vegetables. Some have this bulanglang while Ilocanos have a variety of vegetable dishes such as the famous pinakbet, inabraw, and dinendeng to name a few. But oftentimes, we put these veggies in our heads instead of putting them in our stomachs and letting it stay there where it truly…

Perspective built by confirmation
It’s far easier to change the perspective of a man who had been proven wrong than that of someone who was proven right.

Comfortably Numb
Not really fond of the songs of Pink Floyd but man, this one hits different. “Comfortably Numb” is just something else. It speaks to you, it bypasses your ears and knocks you right in places where even the divine light of the cosmos never shines. And the guitar solo by David Gilmour, damn, it’s not only hitting or bending the strings pressed on the frets, it speaks to you. It’s more than the…

"Naggi-gitara ako kasi gusto kahit hindi ako magaling"
Darating ang araw di ka na kuntentong gumagaya na lang. Darating ang araw mawawalan ka na ng ganang magpasikat at magyabang. Ang gugustuhin mo na lang tumipa, kasama ang panalangin na sana, maganda ang lalabas na tono ng bagong kanta…

Nasa Dios ang awa nasa tao ang gawa
The “nasa Dios ang awa nasa tao ang gawa” phrase has been quite a cliche that you can sing it without batting an eyelid. “Meron ako ng ano, meron akong kwento! 3xAh wala wala wala wala wala walaNasa Dios ang awa nasa tao ang gawa!” It’s only now however when my soul is worn yet wiser that I finally understood how powerful those words truly are. Trust Issues I have at some point struggled with…

The "Enlightened" Room
She was complaining how dark it was in the room where we keep our clothes and whatnot which is why I put around 4 11-Watt LED lights. It did the trick. It was finally bright enough for us to see through our souls. One time I turned on all four light bulbs before she entered the room. “Apay man nga insilaw mo amin?!” she asked. (Why the heck did you turn on all the lights?!) “Tapnun bareng…

Toga
Napapangiti ako nung tinitignan ko yung academic cap ng toga niya. Bakit, tanong niya. Sabi ko, na-imagine ko si Mike Hanopol na kumuha ng culinary arts at kumakanta ng “laki sa layaw, laki sa layaw, jeprox!” habang naggigisa ng sibuyas. Tapos may parang balabal pa na sinasabit sa labas ng toga na yung korte nya ay may hawig sa ginamit ng mga duktor nung panahon ng black death nung Middle…

Talas
May kasabihan ang matatanda sa probinsya, na isang malaking kahihiyan sa isang lalaki sa loob ng tahanan kapag mapurol ang mga itak at kutsilyo. Makes sense naman. Sa makabagong panahon, ang equivalent ba ng mapurol na itak at kutsilyo e kawalan ng mabilis na internet connection?

Masungit na Tindera
Sarado yung madalas kong binibilhan ng isda kaya no choice dun muna ako sa isang tindahan bumili. Di ako masyadong bumibili dun gawa ng parang aburido lagi yung tindera, yung tipong parang bwisit na bwisit siya tuwing may bibili. Ako pa man din yung tipo ng mamimili na mas pipiliing mamili kahit sa malayo kesa pagtyagaan yung malapit pero madalas na aburidong tindero/tindera. Takang taka naman…

The Duality of Love
Things, and including the very people we love is softly killing us one way or another. This by no means a surprise, make no mistake. That’s the duality of love. The more you love, the more you’ll be receptive to pain. The irony of which is that while this thing about loving fiercely and deeply is killing us softly, bit by fucking bit, it also gives us the strength to live and love and to…
