My POC January 2014 line-up: bagong taon kaya magbagong buhay ka na teh!

Since our main site Phil. Online Chronicles has been having some tech trouble with FB, we can't post individual links there. Thought I'd wait for the whole January batch of my articles and then post it here so you could click on them individually.

For this month, I decided to open the year with the usual "bagong taon ay magbagong buhay" peg we always hear kids singing as carols on the street during the yuletide season. But as applied to life, sometimes it's not really a new life we have to have. Sometimes, we just need to have a new outlook (more positive this time), try a new way of treating people (humanely this time), or try looking at yourself more (i.e. love yourself muna) and see what you could focus on instead of focusing on stuff that may be harmful to your being.

Here's a rundown:
 
"Bagong taon, bagong pag-asa (ng pag-ibig)" - Para ito sa mga nilalang na nalulumbay dahil di masaya ang nakaraang taon nila sa lovelife, at para na rin sa mga hopeful pa na sasaya rin ito sa taong ito. Manalig lang lagi, mga teh.

"Bagong taon, bagong ugali: player o serial dater?" - Ito naman ang ating wish list para sa mga serial dater at sa mga ugaling player. Marami palang ganitong babae sa lesbian community. Akala niyo lang mga lalaki lang ang nagiging macho sa pagiging playgirl? Puwes, nagkakamali ka! Sana makarma na rin ang mga ganitong babaeng nananakit lang ng kapwa nila babae. Hashtag hugot mode.
 


"Bagong taon, bagong plano: career o karir?"
- Ano ba ang plano mo sa taong ito? Baka imbes na mangarir ng lablayp, career muna ang atupagin para masaya ang kabuhayan package.

"Date tales: si Ms. Chinese at si Ms. Hindi Discreet" - Trying to begin this date tales series for February with a January tawid dahil Chinese New Year so ikuwento natin ang unang beses na nakipag-date ako sa isang Chinese-Pinay na klosetang biyaning. Challenging at enlightening siya teh. 

So 'yan na muna ang chika. Comment comment na lang 'pag may time. Buhay na buhay kami sa Twitter so sa lekat na FB lang may kyeme. 



See you next month. at GONG XI FA CAI everyone! The year of the wooden horse will be kind to us all. Manalig sa karma. Siya nawa.

Happy Chinese New Year from me and da sanggols I picked up in China like eons ago, each representing a facet of my personality hihihi. At hello na rin from the Chinese Panda rin daw. Arriba na ang Ox sa taon ng Kabayo!
