Hey, bimb!: Coffee shops and escapes (2)

-

 

it was our favorite spot where we drink our favorite blends of coffee, you reading that thick medicine book while my eyes our stock in my laptop writing the last chapter of my new novel... and that’s how we spend our time together

the last time we met, you ranted about how your internship messes your idea of working in a hospital, with too much politics and the likes, I know how hard it is for you to break your principles... that is why law is one of your options in college

you’ve asked, “bimb, is this the right thing to do? magbulag-bulagan with what they are doing?”... that day was tough I bet, it was full of emotions, but how about today bimb? 30 minutes of no talking at all, since we arrived

I was about to break the long silence when you uttered “I need a break.” without looking at me in the eye, I was in shock, I wasn’t prepared to hear those words out of the blue, then you hold my hand, as you flip the last page of that thick medicine book...

my eyes weren’t glued anymore in my laptop, I am starring at you, this is the first I heard those words come from your mouth, and you continued “dad’s hear, with his new fling, I need a break. I don’t what to see him” but it will be your pre board next week...

Your eyes doesn’t look the same than usual, you seems lost... even thou I need the draft over the weekend, I said yes. we are clueless on where we are going, you brought Kali your red Mitsubishi to a long drive with me

An 8 hour ride, we are here in Sagada, the cold breeze and your cold attitude made me shiver, I tried to loosen you up, but you gave me a frown... as we reach the peak of Kitelpan, we saw the beauty of nature, you wanted to stay for a while.

As soon as we reach your car an unusual silence hit us. "Bimb." I said to reach out, but you just hold my hand. We are hiding somewhere, it is an unfamiliar road. I see your tears falling. "Let's end this." Then my life fall apart with the words I heard. Mom setting a blind date for me. She don't want to see us together. I couldn't argue with you... So this is it. Did you even forget it is our anniversary today. Geez. What's happening??!!!

Then it was raining cats and dogs, just like a scene in a romantic drama, the dramatic end scene. But I wish It was just one of those scenes.

Tell me a story, Karl: Lines that resonated in me from Gaya sa Pelikula

Lines that resonated in me from Gaya sa Pelikula Vlad to Karl : "Gay, bakla, bayot, bading just say it. It needs no euphemism. It's not an insult." -  One of the strongest lines I heard from Vlad. Gay was always been used to pinpoint something what people don't like, find embarrassing, or they want to distance themselves from . But with these sharp words he really made us realize that we can say it... it is not an insult. We should be proud of it. Karl to Vlad: " Ginagawa mo akong mas matapang - Encourage to courage. We need someone to push us sometimes, a person who can validate that we can actually do thing and be brave... I was once afraid to try, but thanks to the people behind my back pushing me to take chances and be brave. Karl to Ate Judit: " Totoo nag-aaway kami. Pero alam mo yung kumportable kang makipag-away, kasi walang nakabantay. Pareho kayong umaastang matanda dahil pareho kayong papunta palang  dun ." - We enjoy the things that we do ...

🌸 “Pinalaki Ako ng Daisy Siete” — Kaya Get Get Aw, Laban Laban!”

  🌸 “Pinalaki Ako ng Daisy Siete” — Kaya Get Get Aw, Laban Laban!” A Love Letter to the Kids Raised by Noontime Drama, Tanghalian Memories, and the Queens of Afternoon TV Before we had Netflix. Before “K-drama marathon” was even a thing. Before we learned the words “mental health,” “toxic,” or “self-love”... We had Daisy Siete . We had SexBomb Girls . We had drama at tanghali — ang pinakaunang teleserye ng puso natin. 🧃🥄 Tanghalian Time Was Sacred Time Remember those days? You’d come home from school sweaty, sunburned, and stressed from reciting the Panatang Makabayan . Your Nanay or Lola would serve you a plate of rice, tuyo, or hotdog — maybe pancit canton kung galante — while Eat Bulaga! blasted from the TV. And right after noontime showtime? Boom. Daisy Siete. And just like that, you’re not just eating lunch. You’re entering a world full of heartbreak, sisterhood, sabunutan, and sequins. A world where girls in heels fought for their dreams — and won . 💃 ...

It’s the Twelfth of December, and I’m Twentish

It’s the Twelfth of December, and I’m Twentish This year, one post on TikTok always stops me in my tracks. It says: "Hindi na marami ang tubig ng instant noodles." Simple words, yet they hold so much weight. Each time I read it, something inside me shifts. It’s funny how the simplest things we overlook can make us reflect on how far we’ve come.   I dove into the comments section and found countless stories mirrored my childhood. Each one hit differently:   - "Sawsawan na yung toyo, hindi na ulam." - "Hindi na magsisinungaling sina mama at papa na busog sila." - "May coke na kahit walang bisita." - "You can buy Jollibee now, kahit walang okasyon." - "Hindi na itutulog ang Pasko at New Year." - "May cake na sa birthday." - "Hindi na naghihintay mabigyan ng lumang damit at sapatos ng pinsan." - "Cravings na lang ang sardinas." - "Nakakapag-grocery na yung batang inuutusan dati mangutang ng itlog...
