If last weekend’s entry was all about going out for a drink, this post is a complete 180. It’s me giving you a room tour! Okay, so, technically, this was my room in Singapore. It has since been disassembled and packed in boxes that have yet to arrive in Manila. I spent almost 3 years in this…
Okay, so, I actually arrived last Friday. And yes, it was a one-way ticket. Greeted by traffic from the airport and Manila’s apparent desensitization to filth, a sarcastic voice slashed through my thoughts: “You came back for this?!” An internal dialogue then ensued, with doubt taking center stage. I started wondering if I should’ve just…
I’ve always attributed June to new beginnings, even happily tweeting a couple of years back that the start of the second half of the year never fails to get me so energized. Only for my good friend Solis to tweet back that, technically, the second half of the year starts in JULY. Hahaha! Anyway, June…
Had a couple big shocks yesterday. For someone whose days are all normally chill, that’s really eventful. First, there was a blast on the side of my desk. I was typing up a quote (a rate quotation; not exactly the kind of quote I wish I were writing, hehe!), when there was a loud BOOM and I saw…
Sometimes I feel the fear of the uncertainty stinging clear And I can’t help but ask myself how much I’ll let the fear take the wheel and steer It’s driven me before, and it seems to have a vague haunting mass appeal Lately I’m beginning to find that I should be the one behind the…

Agghh, pano na?? — Reg Rodriguez (@heyrocketgirl) April 21, 2016 Little did I know, I’d be going through so.much.more in the coming days. Kung alam mo lang, Reg, if you only knew when you tweeted that. The past weeks were…
I’ve been embarking on a new role which at times I find to be very uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t involve physical pain or anything, it’s just that sometimes my fear of rejection (and failure and imperfection) psychologically handicaps me. Sometimes I spend so long trying to make sure I compose a perfect…
A few weeks ago, I made my way back to Manila to attend a very special event – my friend Irish’s wedding. I met knew of Irish back in elementary school when we used to go to the same tutor but never really talked, and like what our friends tease her about: her medals in ice…
♫ Well, I came home Like a stone And I fell heavy into your arms These days of dust Which we’ve known Will blow away with this new sun ♫ Soookay, I’m currently in a bunk bed in a dorm with 15 other people here in Tagaytay. We’ve just witnessed our two dearest and closest…
And just like that, we’re ending January. For obvious reasons, I looove January. This year was extra special because after 3 looong years, I finally get to “celebrate” my birthday-month with folks back home. Nevermind that I had work and I got stuck in traffic more hours than I’d want, being able to meet and…
As much as I am tempted to complain about how I haven’t been getting “proper rest” for the past month and a half, I know better. All those choices, I’ve made on my own accord and had I known then how tired my body will be, I’m pretty sure I’d still be making the same…
