veedayshmeeday

Nakakatuwa talaga ang mga contacts ko sa social media oo. Lalo na sa araw na ito hehe. Tulad ng tweet ng aking longtime nang kakilala sa LGBTQ movement, si Binibining Camel, na laging nakakaaliw ang tweets hehe:

Hahaha ganyan din ako eh. Ayoko ng lumalabas kapag ang buong Metro Manila ay nakikiuso sa mga bagay na komersyal o ginagawang komersyal ang bagay na di naman sana dapat ganun ka-OA ang peg. Tulad ng Pasko, pati Holy Week, 'yung mga tao na dumadagsa sabay-sabay para mag-out of town sa pare-parehong panahon. Yaiks gudlak sa trapik mga teh! Heygard.

Lalo na kaya ngayon! Valentine' Day shmalentinesday my foot, man. Daming tao sa labas niyan! Although marami na rin sa feeds ko ang nagsasabing stay-at-home ang peg nila today, marami pa ring lalabas. Lalo na ang mga tutungo sa check-in mwahahahaha! Naaalala ko tuloy, noong kasagsagan ng kasikatan ni Running Priest, nagtatrabaho yata ako sa diyaryo pa noon, nakita ko ang balita sa TV na may ginawang gimik si padir isang Vday night: tumakbo siya sa iba't ibang motel at KINAKATOK niya ang mga pinto! To the tune of telling people to celebrate Valentine's in a pure way etc etc (read: Catholic guilt trip). Oh man, I am SO not kidding about this. (Wala naman yatang lumabas sa mga kinatok niya para silipin kung anong meron hahaha!) Napanganga ako nung napanood ko yung balita. Lakas din ng amats ni padir to do that wahahahah! Yes, now I could say that! Kasi dati, sa diyaryong pinagtatrabahuhan ko, columnist namin siya kaya di din ako makapag-print ng super-sexy cleavage photos ng mga artista hahahaha lekat na buhay entertainment editor iteyyyy! But I digress. 

Heniweys hemingway, hindi naman bitter ang lola niyo. Kasi ang pilosopiya ko sa buhay sa araw na ito ay na-summarize yata ng maganda ng isang kakilalang journalist, na may dagdag-analysis pa siyang mega-PAK NA PAK sa akin hehe:

So there. Na pinalawig ko naman dito sa article na ito na hiningi ng aking favorite queer church peeps: "Ang Valentine Cha-cha ng Buhay" na parte ng kanilang love reflections series, mga series na ginagawa nila paminsan-minsan. Kakatuwa ring basahin yung ibang reflection pero puro beki. Ako pa lang ang unang biyaning sa series ngayon. Baka may iba pa sa susunod na araw, let's see.

An excerpt:

Minsan ang lovelife, parang sayaw lang iyan. Minsan, in-sync kayo sa

choreography ng kasayaw mo. Minsan, kaliwa pareho ang paa niyo pero pinipilit niyo pa ring umindak. Minsan naman, ‘yung isa lang ang magaling at nagli-lead at tagasunod lang ang isa para di matapilok. Minsan naman,nagkakatamaran na kayong magsayaw kaya inaantay niyo na lang ang pag-fade out ng kantang ginagalawan ninyo. Minsan naman, bigla kayong aayaw sa galawan at aalis na lang sa dancefloor kahit di pa tapos ang tugtog na nasimulang sayawan. Give and take, ikaw muna bago siya, paurong-pasulong, paikot-patagilid, pailalim-paibabaw, patalon-pahinto. Iba-iba ang tono, iba-iba rin ang kembot. Ganyan minsan makipagrelasyon sa babae kung ikaw ay kapwa babae rin. 

Hehe inspired ako bigla magsulat niyan. Nalampasan na nga ako ng deadline kasi ang reklamo ko kay bakla, bakit naman tinapat pa ako sa Vday mismo kalerks! Eh ngayon ngang galing ako sa mga modang puki-muna-bago-puso mantra for the year eh ako pa ang pinagsulat ng lurv reflection talaga ni boklooo! Kalerks. Pero ayan at may matino namang napiga, so happy na rin heheh. Ako na mume-metaphor.

Speaking of p-muna-bago-p philosophies hehe, ito namang si editor kong lezziebelz ay nagulat daw sa mga latest stories na shine-share ko sa POC Pinoy LGBT channel gig namin. Kasi nga Vday kaya sabi ko , gagawa ako ng series para thematic. Lesbian date scene ang naisip ko kaya nga yun ang nasimulan last time with the Fil-Chinese dating story. Then kasunod nito, itong "Si Ms. Mwah-mwah online na Ms. Tikom offline" ang sunod kong sinulat. Kwento ito ng pakikipag-date sa mga madaldal sa chat pero olats naman sa personal. Dami ganyan kaya nga minsan, 'pag may nagpapapampam na naman sa akin online, tinitignan ko muna kung mapapanis laway ko sa kanila offline or what. 

Kaya wagi rin 'pag nakakakita ka ng hindi ganun paminsan-minsan. O kaya 'yung date ay nagiging hindi na romantic ang peg hehe. Hashtag alamna! Sinulat ko rin 'yun at doon yata tumambling na may back flip sabay split si editor hahaha. Baka next week na i-publish hehe. Eh sabi ko nga, tame pa 'yan. Wait for the wild stories mwahahaha! Oo, now they could be told! Kasi malakas na ang loob ko to go back to erotica writing since I no longer teach hehe. Major perk of that. Kaya siguro ko rin sine-censor ang sarili ko sa mga bagay na erotisismo ang peg dahil dito. Ngayun-ngayon ko lang talaga ito napagtanto, nung umalis na ako finally sa pagtuturo. Oh yes, liberation! Kaya abang lang kayo sa mga erotica writing ko haney! Bumabalik na si bakla, with a vengeance!

Kamusta naman sa opening line ito, say mo:

"Oh, those hands. They're always cold, when we first meet up. But I tell you, those hands, the cold, shivering fingers, they'll be inside of me, later on, very warm, as they try to make me shiver, shiver from the inside."

'Yan ang resulta ng #taglibog at #alamna modes ng buhay hahahaha! Literatura, baby! Lekat. Hahaha. Sorry inaaliw ko lang sarili ko. Tagal ng Pizza Hut delivery eh, tomjones na.

But yeah, such lines. They've been coming in trickles lately. Na dumadalas. Like ang dami! That's why I've been trying to just hole myself in my sanctuary and just type away. As a result, a new novel is slowly being structured, a screenplay is already in its 12th sequence (or in layperson's terms, that's 25 minutes of a 2-hour-ish movie) and there's a handful of new short fiction with opening lines and characters forming. May naisingit pa ngang one-act play synopsis diyan kamusta naman. Not bad, eh, not bad. Now let's hope I get to finish all of these within the year. Yoiks! Wish me luck.

Pero tuloy pa rin ang ilang raket ng buhay. Para maki-Vday din kami sa #WhipIt kyeme, kinabog ko ang ilang kaibigan para makakuha ng quotable quotes ng empowered Valentine definition, pandagdag sa mga pina-gather ko sa mga katrabaho kong jugets doon. At ito ang resulta: an empowered Valentine slideshow.

"14 on 2/14: Women (re)interpret an empowered kind of love"

Ito yatang kay Louie, a fellow writer na kaklase ko dati sa isang 

MA Creative Writing class, ang fave kong quote. 

Kasi zume-zen si ati hihi eh bet ko 'yung ganyan. 

Of course lahat naman ng quotes ng friendships ko 

sa list ay type ko. Pero this one talks to me the best. 

#zenmode nga kasi siguro. Also funny to discover before 

na my ka-zazen sa Zen Center sa Marikina is Louie's mom 

pala hehe while Louie naman became so into yoga na. Kewl!

Happy naman ito. Parang 'yung article project ko last week, about global Pinays naman so siyempre, puro mga nasa FB contacts ko lang lahat ng kinausap ko at ayan na sila hehehe article na. 

My latest Rappler solo byline piece: 

"Importing, exporting stereotypes: How do global Pinays cope?"

Yes, believe me, I really know a lot of people. Like A LOT! Sabi nga ng berks kong lez noon, I'm like God on Friendster hahaha at di pa uso FB nun ha. Ganyan talaga ang networking teh, lalo na if you choose to be a nice person when circulating in many fields and industries wherever you are. You get to meet nice people and the nice people remember you as well. So there. Kaya di mahirap sa akin mag-source ng mga tao para sa mga ganyang project hihihi. Ayuz. 

Pero sa dami naman ng tao sa paligid ko, takot naman yatang makipag-date sa akin hahaha. Hayst, story of my life, as usual hehe. May isang butch na mapangahas, nag-post ng tanong sa askfm site ko, if keri daw ba ako lumabas with her na butch at tinatanong kung butch din daw ba tanaw ko sa sarili ko. I posted this interesting quip sa FB ko and of course, my friends had a field day with it hahaha! Go for gold daw! Eh sabi ko wala, dinaga yata si butch, walang follow-up. And my dapper butch friend said di daw totoong butch 'pag ganyang umaatras hahaha! Yeah, my friends are weird and funny like that. Love 'em to bits. 

Kaya wala, back to being anonymous talaga ang project ko sa buhay. Na medyo mahirap ma-achieve nga dito sa Maynila. Ilang years ko na ring spiel kaya ito noh? Pero swerte rin minsan at may natatagpuan, natitipuhan. Dedma na kung di successful ang ending. Minsan naman, nasa journey ang lesson ng life at wala sa ending ng journey. Kaya yun na lang ang iniisip ko. Tulad nga ng summary ko sa MCC love reflection na iyon, kebs lang at keep on dancing lang ang peg. Ayoko nang magdeklara ulit dito, tulad ng dati, na kapag sasabihin kong "okay lang ako na halaman this year" tapos may bonggang bonggang lovelife na darating. May nag-point out sa akin nun eh hahaha. So siguro, di na lang ako magdedeklara ng anything muna, out loud, because I know the universe is listening and hmmm taking notes. 

For now, I don't know yet, but many things are hanging for me. And you know what? I actually like it that way. Yung huling gumago sa akin, tanong ng tanong niyan: ano ba ang plano mo sa buhay? Ilang beses ko na siyang sinagot na ikalawang buhay ko na ito kaya pinapakiramdaman ko pa. Pero di niya maintindihan. Sabagay, mahina kasi ang pag-intindi niya sa maraming bagay din kaya hinayaan ko na lang. People like that, hindi naman nila maiintindihan ang mga people like me. Pinagalitan na naman nga ako ng superfriend K about that. Kumuha na raw kasi ako ng intellectual equal ulit. I'm like hmmm di ko naman sinasadya na makuha eh hindi equal teh hehe. Or akala ko sa umpisa, equal ang project pero di pala hehe. Well, whatever. 

This is actually my "take it easy year" which is a plan that I wanted to do ever since I turned 40. Yes, my gulay, kuwarenta na lola mo, pero I could still outrun many out there sa mga larangang, ahem, di naman nakikita sa edad ang peg hahahahaha #alamna. OhyouknowwhatImean. Well, that's the feedback anyway hehe. Charut!

So this is what my forty looks like. 

As a girl told me when she saw this shot, 

hot hot hot hahaha. Ako na nagbabaga. Charut!

And taking it easy entails me not gambling my heart so much again, like before. Being more in control of what emotion I permit to envelop me when it comes to that thing called love. Having the time to enjoy simple pleasures more and not pressure myself to join any kind of rat race muna ulit. Or ever. Chill lang. And write write write! Itong mga konsepto kong mga '90s pa at '00s eh ayan, lekat nakikita ko nang may nakakaisip na rin na iba at ginagawa na nila eeek! Nauunahan na naman ang peg. Kaya kelangan ko na talagang umupo at tutukan ito teh. 

Bought this sexy baby to accompany me on this new journey. 

We are so ready to roll!

But of course, we welcome the diversions naman every now and then. Di naman din nawawala iyon lately. In fact, nampotah dumadami pa nga eh! Ewan ko lang sa universe kung bakit but hey, I ain't complainin' man hahaha. Deluge lang beks, deluge ka lang gow. Basta masaya lang ang life, ang utak, ang keps, ang bulsa, wagi tayo dyan teh hehe. Kahit later na si heart, keri lang din. Kelangan din kasing ipahinga yan eh, sa totoo lang. Medyo bugbog pa rin yata kasi. Kaya ganyan lang muna. Chillax and take it easy. So there.

And that's how I empower myself this Valentine: loving myself more. Can't go wrong with that.

Ever.

international fab, local pride

Konting work break muna for now despite the yule cold sniffles circulating here within my friends and fam networks. Bawal magkasakit mga teh! But mine's manageable so we still plod on. Timeout nga muna. 

Commercial first.

Happy to note that our local Whip It campaign for Rappler is getting international traction beybeh! Hehe happy about this, since this week's Whip It Wednesday content was a solo byline, my first for the site: "Multiple burdens: One struggle, one success for all" 

And yes, this time, they put in the "linsangan" there. My mom would be proud na. Yey.

Glad to have two good friends helping out with the interviews, superfriend K as always and pretty Jean from our kawomenan networks. Happy about the result of this.  

And then international media is picking the Pantene ad up! Some with specific mentions of our work back at Rappler, and then links to the earlier article helmed by me and a teammate. Yey!

Comme ca:

Saya lang this week hehe. 

And for more saya, last weekend naman was pride. Yung muntikan nang di matuloy, push pa rin ng mga beks! Gujab TFP. Maaasahan.

Some snippets: 

Can't stop pride! Sabi nga nina Myk sa Outrage Mag artik nila hehe. Agree beks! Good to see the old new banner parade again, in no less than Malate, our fave queer haunt of yore.

And we ended up in the Nakpil-Orosa courtyard, the site of so many queer happenings before.  Ah, twas nice to reminisce. A good part of my twentysomething fabulous self was spent here in these legendary streets. Witnessed my first Pride March here in 1997. Ano'ng dekada na??? LOLZ.

And twas nice to see old friends from the LGBTQ movement circles chenelyns of yore hehe. Ayan si Pedra Calungsod a.k.a. Mother Jessie.

 Photo op syempre ever hehe.

 Tireless pogi advocate Jonas hehe.

 Ang ilan sa mga former junakis ketch! Fab kids abound. Ipagpatuloy mga teh!

Kapatid na William transplanted from Baguio Pride March to Manila now. Hello hello welcome welcome.

 Ang mga lezziefonix katropa on Twitter and beyond! Char! Di niyo ko binigyan ng headgear wah!

Our favorite queer church peeps. Becuase they truly understand that God is not about hating. Ayaw ni Jesus nyan. MCC gospel is therefore inclusive of all, even non(practicing) Catholics/Christians like (zen-ish Buddhist-ish) moi.

 Ay teh, itaas mo ang bandera. Wagayway! Cute ni Oli dimple boy hehe.

 Si Kuya Gil ever, hehehe cute.

 Superfriend Pastora K. All the way!

 Ang Tropang Tibs ng Twitter, reprezent!

Old friend Fire. Miss ko na ka-hangout ang mare kong ito. Circa UP Sappho days pa teh! At hello kelan ire-revive ang queer arnis club natin??? Yes I wanna hit some sticks!

Longtime friend ang lurvlife philosopher-educator ko (dahil titulado siya literal sa mga larangang iyan hahaha!) Ms. Bubbles. Lafesh kami with her jowawitz and their babaylaners biyanings after.

Kilroy was here. As always.

More images pa on my FB sorry katamad ipost lahat dito hehe. Dami kasi. Dakilang coverage girl, as always. Try kong i-IG ito 'pag kaya na ng powers.

Also been doing visual snippets of my trip in Bangkok nga pala, unti-unti rin. Head over to my IG if you wanna see. Will also export that in my travel blog as soon as I've the powers to revive it na. Wait lang 'k, mahina powers ng lola.

Plus plus plus, we answer Mr. President's pag-pooh-pooh sa thought of kids growing up with queer parents. Shonga of the month, this. So we rebutt with my first POC Pinoy LGBT artik: "PNoy parenting and authentic family-building"

And also, our pride march article for POC: "Pushing for pride, march to mark"

Happy reading mga beks!

I am happy. Cornucopia overflow itey! The odds are ever in my favor. Always naman eh. Good karma rocks. 

Cuteness pays off. Lolz. Thanks sa pix N!

fabulous overload, Bangkok plus plus style

Blessings overload! Sabi nga ng isang good friend ko, sa mga na-experience kong chuvaness this year (as in chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvanessssss!), hindi puwedeng walang kapalit 'yan na ganansiya, sagana, kasayahan at yes, our ever-present fabulousness. Positivity abounds. All because good karma always has my back. Fist bump to that! Sige na nga, chest bump na rin.

Kaya eto, pres na pres at fresh from my trip to Bangkok while jumpstarting new consultancy work (workssss actually, dahil as of presstime, may bago na namang dumating!), sabay-sabay na namang umuulan ng ganansiya at kung anu-ano pa sa aking katauhan at sa aking kalawakan. Super grateful for this.

Unang balita, lumabas na nga pala ang panibagong bunga ng isang bagong consultancy work: 'yung article na binuno ko with a teammate sa Rappler. Eto siya: read it here. Naka-byline pala ako. Akala ko generic lang kami lalabas a la press release kyeme. But anyway, thanks for the byline kahit kulang at wala ang linsangan heheh. Check ko yan next time ha hmmm. 

WHIP IT Wednesdays ang gimik ng Pantene kaya ayan, kasalukuyang pinapahaba ng raket na ito ang hairlalu ko dahil naha-high ako sa mga new outlets where we could engender those that need engendering. Basta usapang gender at media, alam niyo naman lola niyo, ever-present. Kahit sa United Nations pa 'yan hehe.

Which brings me to why I was in Bangkok. For this:

Bangkok forum day 1: official participant ang drama. Kilroy was here. At hanlameg ng forum place naknantotchang. Good thing I brought a pampormang blazer.

Reconnected with longtime media literacy co-advocates Asuka from Japan, Australian Sally now based in Sri Lanka, and met new acquaintance Ada from Puerto Rico. Could you say "third wave feminism reprezent" hehehe. It's our turn, lolas.

Feeling UN mode ang lola mo. Perennial battle in understanding the French-to-English translator made me resolve to resume my French language lessons. At dahil present and future tense pa lang kaya kong salitain sa Pranses, aaralin ko ulit para matutunan ko na ang past tense conjugation hahaha. Le lekat.

Joined upon the encouragement of Sally and Asuka who are doublehandedly trying to revive the old network called ANWIC or Asian Network of Women in Communication, of which I am now a member. Also with older ANWIC members here from India and Thailand at the photo op booth. Win.

Da Pinoy tropa: Ms. Lydia of Miriam College and Ms. Olive of Women's Feature Service. Wala gusto lang namin ng photo op sa jutel na sushyal hehe.

Who would have thought that registering to be in this global forum by no less than UNESCO would entitle me to a sponsored trip. After I've already booked my ticket and lodging kasi, they emailed to sponsor it. So yehey gorabelles siyempre nubeh! Heheh. In exchange, they said I will be a speaker sa isang panel pero mej may kalabuan 'yung portion na 'yun. Pero anyway ayoko namang magsalita talaga. Sa ganyang mga conf, gusto ko lang makinig at mag-absorb ng stuff, and especially mag-process and of course mag-share sa mga utaw. Kaya livetweeting lang ang ginawa namin ng tropang ANWIC.

My day1 hotel before moving in to fancier sponsored one. May kasama naman pala akong babae dun kaya hindi malungkot ang gabi lolz. Hashtag huwat feminizm? Lolz. Gusto ko siyang nakawin actually hahaha makahanap nga ng ganyang shower curtain. Parang ang sarap maligo lagi 'pag si Marilyn ang katabi mo hahaha!

Fancier hotel had this morning view. Ah, cityscapes. Something close to my heart. Felt like home for a while.

Arrived over the weekend to have the pasyal portion over and done with before the forum started, wala akong ka-iti-itinerary sa pupuntahan actually. I just like roaming around this city because Bangkok reminds me of a better version of Manila in a way. Maybe it's because they're Buddhist? Maybe. So when I asked myself "Hm san kaya makapunta?" eto ang sagot sa akin ng universe hehe.

Dahil wala ngang itinerary, puntahan ang familiar. Pak na pak pa rin. First time I went to BKK was with Probe Media Foundation's Imaging the Mekong video docu workshop. Kay Ma'm Cheche Lazaro ko natutunan to pack lightly and carry a big big bag when going to Bangkok kasi pag-uwi mo, puno na ito. Siya nawa hahaha salamat sa Chatuchak nga, among other stuff from other places. 

Of course visit another familiar place. Na hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring credit card option to pay hmmm lekat. Suot ko sa pride march ang mga nabili ko rito hehe.

Ang saya lang to reconnect with longtime kahenerasyon peeps working on similar media+gender issues and stuff. My, how time flies! Nasa Isis NGO pa ako noon when I met up with them and here we all are, 9 years later, still at it! Nakasama ko rin ang isang comm arts linkage sa dating mundo ko ng akademya at of course mga longtime independent women journalists/media educators from the older ranks. Happy naman ang peg. At least may ibang Pinoy. Akala ko lang kasi ako lang buti na lang hehe.

Chuma-Chang kasama ang mga chang. International inuman it iz.

At kunwari sume-selfie pero ang tututs, nagdo-document ng mga makitang tom-dee doon hehehe. Si ati waitress tom na tom pare. Tom=butch / dee=femme in Thai lingo.

Happy with my book finds. Oo libro talaga shina-shopping ko anywhere I may be in the world.

Found this really cool gemstone shop so decided to update my collection of charms and protections to help me ward away nega people who pretend to be non-nega in my vicinity. Been having lots of those chuvanesssssssss lately kaya kelangang i-level up talaga ang Protego totalum! spells para maprotektahan pa sa future against all forms and kinds of halimaws and insekyorays.

Yung dini-direk ko si ateh para maganda ang photo op documentation niya hihihi Kilroy was here mode.

Yung Sally and I can't believe how "modernized" old shopping centers are now hahaha naghahanap kami ng Greenhills tiyangge pero Shang Plaza mall ang peg na tumambad hahaha lekat.

Because of some political protests that happened before and during we were there, mobility was very limited. Which means I have to go back there na lang for real pasyal mode. Noted universe! Loud and clear.

So great the enlightenment that I got from going on this trip. Muntikan ko pa namang ikansela! Buti na lang beks! Intuition: trust it more next time nang di na tayo napapahamak galore.

At nakakatuwa dahil ang tingkad lang ng rainbowtatt ko lagi doon sa BKK hehe. Hm maybe it's a sign of something... Could be, who knows...


Hayst, winner talaga ang mag-travel. It clears the mind bigtime pare. Makabalik nga soon diyan, for more pasyal goodness. And for more enlightenment in general. Kob khun ka, Siam, maraming salamat.

At salamat pa sa mga dagdag na kyemerlu of life. So may isa nga akong organisasyong nilayasan na dapat this year pero talaga yatang once an Isis woman, always an Isis woman. Heto nga at mainit-init na kinokonekta na naman nila ako sa mga kausap naming kawomenan mula Australia dati. Naykupo, outback accent na naman lola mo nitoh! O siya gorabelles! Tatanggi pa ba ako sa grasya at ganansya beks! Getlak lang ng getlak, for more!

And indeed, my cup runneth over na nga as we speak. Kulang na naman ang 24 hours in one day, as I've always complained. So there. Bawal matulog beks. Work mode lang.

Pero sige lang universe. Ngayon ko talaga nakikita na marami, malawak at malaki pa pala ang kailangan pang ikutan at gawin sa buhay, lalo na nung matapos ang engagement kong pagkahaba-haba na pala na iniwanan ko na dahil sa lason na ang dumadaloy doon. Oo, iyan ang akademya para sa akin, at least sa pinanggalingan kong Hogwarts. Sa pag-alis ko doon, ngayon ko lang talaga nakikita kung bakit dapat pala inagahan ko ang pag-alis. Wala talaga akong panahon para sa mga kanegahan. Kaya as much as possible, bago pa man ako mabahiran ng lason, layas na lang ang moda. At oo, that's my biggest heartache this year. Now I can honestly say it. But I could also declare now that yes, like any other heartache, I'm soooo over it. So so so over it. And now, I could also honestly say na thank goddess I got out! I don't wanna grow old traversing the River Styx so near Hades, if you know what I mean. The Elysian Fields are ever-expanding pa pala so I have to keep my eyes on the real prize of life here. 

And that we are.

And as always, friendships -- real, genuine ones --abound. As of presstime again, meron pala kaming chika-kits ng mga haiskul friends soon because our Australian berks is back. So instant reunion naman ang peg hehe. Miss ko na mga gelay na ito kaya ayan, welcome break ito. And of course can't wait for the Silverbelles session this month naming mga 30++ aged biyanings hehe. Loving this circle as well. Yeah my life is good that way, being surrounded by souls of interesting folks.

So many great stuff happening. That's the way to wrap up this month, eh? And this year as well. Hindi pa nga tapos kaya di pa natin alam kung ano pang grasya at blessing ang aambon sa akin. Sabi nga, simula pa lang daw ito. Huwaw. Sige maghahanda na ako talaga para pag-arriba ng next year, mas bongga pa lalo ang Darna mode.

Ever! 

And this is what "thank you consequence" looks like. Om shanti.
