When the year opened, the world looked like a door opening to countless possibilities. It felt like there was so much to do. It was an open book waiting to be written and a map waiting to be marked and explored. Big leaps I didn’t even plan for so long await. I started the year…
Of Thailand and Solo Traveling
A little temple-like altar stood by the street as I took a picture with my phone while thinking, “Ah, my first Thailand photo…” I asked my friends to have a solo time while the two of them also walked around to have some time on their own—something we don’t really do when we’re out on…
Summation 2024
Somewhere along the way, I felt humbled by circumstances that told me to sit down and adjust. You’re not gonna get what you want if you defy people and fate. People won’t like you when you speak up for yourself. With that, I learned to always have to adjust, to give way, to acquiesce in…
I Was At The Eras Tour
While I was taking a shower a while ago, I just suddenly remembered how I felt when I finally saw Taylor Swift on stage in person. I froze as it came flashing back to me: how blurry my sight was, how the people I was with were bawling as the intro went on, what came…
Summation 2023: Here and There
I always start off the year with a clean slate. Well, not completely clear as there was already a planned trip ahead of 2023, but most of what transpired here, I never expected at all. Every new year, I always utter in my thoughts that I “survived yet another year, will this next one be…
Life Update: A Break Down, A Work Out, and Mirror Selfies
I’ve been well the past months–better than I was last year. I meant to write about my mental struggles back in 2022, but I guess I didn’t have the luxury to do so. I was busy. But, let me tell you, oh so few of you ladies and gentlemen (if there is any of you out there), I. broke. down.
Summation 2022: Shaping Me For The Rest of My 30s
Just finished summarizing the events of my year in my 2022 journal, and I realized that it has been quite eventful compared to the last two years. I thought my year would be the end of me considering how I started it getting terribly sick twice first in January then in March-April. Plus, I was…
One Less Spark In The Dark
I wanted to write about you. I wanted to commemorate the greatness of a human being that you were: lively, passionate, unstoppable, tidy, and compassionate (a term I learned because of you). I wanted to seal your name at least online to show how good of a person you were. However, your passing has only…
How I’ve Truly Been These Past Years and The Next Level for Everything Eric
I can’t write anymore. You know what goes on in my mind each time I am on this page? I always ask myself, “how is this going to draw attention somehow?” Somehow. How can I start an entire blog with a catchy hook or a thought that everyone can connect with? Excuse my French, but…
Summation 2021: Rise Back Up
2020 really did a number on us. It was traumatic that people had low expectations with the year that followed. We expected the worst. However, despite the discovery of the menacing variants of the COVID-19 virus, somehow, humanity has continued to push forward in life. In a nutshell, you could say that this year has…
