Ayan. Handa, awit.
Heniweys, I needed to jumpstart my brain today before working, especially since I came from a semi-sick weekend. Been trying to fight off this nasty nasty cough that developed last week, during the time I had an urgent lecture gig pa naman. Fine timing, beks. Fine timing. But since the show must go on, on we went pa rin sa lectures, last week and even kahapon. Pero dahil recovering pa rin yesterday, napagod yata ang lungs ko kaya knockout ako agad kahapon. Not to mention na darating din pala today si monthly curse, kaya ayan, double KO lola mo. Leche.

| Loving these travel lecture gigs courtesy of the DepEd-attached agency called National Council for Children's TV. I love it that I get to teach my media literacy advocacy to kids who need it. Getting paid to do what you love is just great. This here is for the NCR leg, Marikina chapter last week. |
 |
| Ito yung biglaang sked last week, at sa Muntinlupa pa talaga. Biglaan, as in, mam puwede ka bukas? Hahaha kaloka, pero isa pala ito sa pinakamasayang division. Sa traffic pauwi nawala ang boses ko, bad aircon ng ride exacerbated the sore throat I've been feeling days before. Kaya na-double whammy lola mo. |
 |
| And yesterday's show that must go on, at the heart of Manila pa naman. Sarap sanang maglayag doon if not for feeling sick and the public transport strike pa. Kaya uwi agad after lecture, pahinga fatale. |
 |
| At muling nanumbalik ang magic antidote sa cough na nadiskubre ko noong nagtatrabaho ako fulltime sa feminist NGO noon: si Pei Pa Koa. Works like a charm, mga bes. At available na siya sa Mercury yipeee! |
Buti na lang at wala ulit skeds this week for lectures. But I'm bracing myself in the next 2-3 weeks kasi sunod-sunod ang peg. Kaya kelangang mag-ipon ng lakas at boses. Beat this fucking energy gap, beks. Huhubelles.
But I have to face my other gigs din naman kaya tuloy pa rin ang life. Ito nga lang ginagawa kong documentary film, masyado siyang kumakain sa headspace nang bongz, lalo na't I have to digest many concepts and jargon of a sector and make it palatable to all. At alam naman natin minsan ang development sector, bongga sa concepts na hinahagis-hagis lang left and right, mga concepts na hindi normally available sa mga garden variety conversations in life pero sine-sepak takraw lang nila like that. You know, mga terms like development justice, my fave capacity building, or institutional architecture, saka international collective advocacy, mga ganyan. Haha grabe I lurv my life: one end of the spectrum is kababawan showbiz pop culture and the other is palaliman sa konsepto development sector-United Nations level workload while ang midpoint is queer and academic tapos halo-halo na ang gitna hahaha. Brain, kaya mo pa???
Kaya yeah, kailangan ng bonggang bonggang buwelo kapag ito na ang haharapin kong trabaho pare. All the time. Para kang nagma-master's degree each time magha-handle ako ng feminist movement work hahaha. Trulagen collagen, 'yan ang feeling -- and I love it naman. Yun nga lang, kailangan ng extra bongz na preps ni headspace. Despite having coughs pa and this freaking dysmenorrhea.
Kaya ayan, kawayan mo na ang kape, beks.

| Hellow phow. Geseng. |
I love how all of a sudden, life could become quite busy. I was prepared to take it easy this month of Feb actually, which is what I did last January. I was even going back to my literary writings and personal projects I put on hold like decades ago. But no, gigs beckon, so sige na rin. Hindi tayo tumatanggi sa grasya, ever. Kaya tanggap lang ng tanggap hangga't kaya ng powers.
Kaya lang, puwede bang mag-function nang walang monthly curse? Leche din kasi ito eh. Timing. Oh well papel. It's hard being a gurl.
Siya, sige na nga. Work na. Nagising na konti ang utak, so tipa na ulit.
Kape pa.
