Thursday Letter #16 | Honesty is the Best Policy

Sometimes, I get conscious sa mga sinusulat ko dito, kasi pakiramdam ko minsan paulit-ulit. Or I sometimes negate myself, lalo na pag nababasa ko yung mga luma kong posts. Despite this worry, it’s not stopping me from hitting the publish button. Kasi yun talaga yung reality ko eh. Yun ang pinagdadaanan ko. Perceptions change. Tastes change. Normal lang magbago, at normal din na magpaulit-ulit.

It’s also a universal reality na mabagabag sa isang bagay, tapos akala mo resolved na at naka-move on ka na, until dadating yung araw na mababagabag ka ulit. Or yung may sasabihin kang gagawin mo, proud na proud ka sa plano mo, tapos sasablay ka nanaman. Wala eh. Yun talaga ang realidad. Sabi nga nung isang guest sa Ang Walang Kwentang Podcast:

I’m not here to be a role model,
I’m here to be the real deal.

Some Emo Thoughts On Our Recent Trip

You have full access to this post because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍

Ang sarap bumalik sa bahay after a long vacation. Kinikilig ako habang nakaupo sa office chair ko, nagsusulat, tapos mamaya magbabasa ako, magpapakain ng pusa, then magluluto.

Home sweet home with the kitties 🤍

I can’t wait to go back to my nice little routine. But let’s rewind a tiny bit…

I spent 9 straight days with some of my closest friends during this recent California trip, and it was absolutely divine. It was as if we’re college kids again—hanging out everyday, drinking almost every night, and chatting endlessly about the past and the future. It was such a treat! Sobrang na-miss ko sila! And the sad part is, sobrang mami-miss ko rin sila now that it’s over. I was actually feeling nostalgic kahit magkakasama pa kami. The thought of, “I’m going to miss this.” kept popping at the back of my mind while currently hanging out with them. But I try to pull myself back and just enjoy the moment. It’s also probably because there’s a part of me that couldn’t fully believe we were all really together and spending this much time with each other once again—and I think some of us felt the same way too, because Benson would randomly blurt out, “Wow! Dito na talaga tayo sa US nagkita-kita!”

“I used to think that I liked to cook..” 🎶

Ampangit ng simula ng 2024 ko. Daming nakaka-stress na tao, bagay, pangyayare (mostly tao). Ang pinapaulit-ulit ko sa isip ko, “Lilipas din ‘to, lilipas din ‘to.. Masyado akong masaya nung December kaya kailangan mag-balance.” Kaso pagdating ng 3rd week, “Bakit ang tagal naman mawala??”

DAY 5

Swimming time!

On our way to Atimonan

Excited akong magswimming kahit hindi naman ako magsi-swimming. Wala lang. Gusto ko lang tumambay by the beach/pool tapos kakain ng masarap pag nagutom na. Gusto ko lang yung summer vibes kasi sa Winnipeg snow pa rin ng snow that time.

Nakasalang na ang maduduming pinagkainan sa dishwasher at ang maduduming damit sa washing machine. Kumain na rin ako. Kaya ngayon.. Hello!
