Random Quickie I have less than fifty minutes to make a buzzer beater first entry of the month. I probably have less now because it took me a while to do the math. I am mentally playing Chris Brown's version of This Christmas. What for? I'm not sure. It is one of the random picks my brain picked for a song to play over and over n my head. I guess my brain got tired of Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song. Which I will always start singing in the part: 🎶 *Chestnuts roasting on…
@AmazingWorld Thank you sis! hahaha saw that! heart happy :)
Speaking Truth to Myself Pulling one up from the drafts, clearing everything and starting with a fresh page of "Add Title" and "Then start writing.." I know I can simply click that three dots and choose "Delete Article" if I want to clear out all the drafts I would most likely not be in the same drive to continue writing it as when I first started tapping on it. And most likely the thoughts are goners.. poof.. zip. But I intend to write over it instead. Last night, I set…
Volcano dive, anyone? **Sips the hot morning cup of Kalinga Robusta** *I'm kidding... throwing in a FACTIon. Coining uncle Ed's* @TengoLoTodo *term :) Here we go...* Lolita stares off into the magnificent view of the Taal Lake. She looked like she was replaying a scene she recalls from way, way back. The corner of her lips slowly lifted to a sideway grin. I was waiting for her to respond to my question, *"What did she want to become when she was younger?"* It was a Saturday…
hephep... i saw that doc!! @LykeLyca.. HahaH Thank you so much ! :)Woohooo :D
Let me gift you with... In the Philippines, we used to call it Monito-Monita. Though I don't know where we got that from. I still remember getting involved in more than three monito-monita events - one for the project team, another for the close office friends and then another one for the church group, and then another from the college close friends. Then we also put themes : something hairy, something rough, something gross, something funny, etcetera. Hmm. Writing those…
The Netflix Shuffle *Eighteen minutes till midnight. She stares at the screen and starts to tap on the keyboard. Typing away. Whatever flows in her head. Whatever she feels down along the streams of her* *****emptions***** *(yes, I am not changing that word) and to her fingertips. Emptions. It is a combination of two words which describe how she does feels right now :* *****Empty emotions.***** Err. Ok maybe finishing that one in the next days. Or maybe not. For now, I am…
Uncle my sweet uncle!! @Tengolotodo Thank you so so so much!!!! I saw that ;)
Sis @Jane! From the bottom of my heart ... Salamat!! :D kita ko yun ;)
On A Budget Ever had to redo an already 3-minute-read article just because? So this one's it. I'm cleaning up my messed up drafts. All beginnings no endings. Anyways, I felt like cleaning up without having to use the delete function. Also, ever had to go some place to eat but had to modify what you were looking forward to eat because you suddenly realize you do not have enough money with you? It was a usual week night. I was driving around the neighborhood and just thinking…
One Deck of A Story "Coffee? Tea?" I watched as the flight attendants cruising the aisle with the trollies asking passengers which would they prefer. They said both items, coffee and tea, pausing after each with a measured and practiced smile on their faces showing teeth. Which would not be hard at all because saying both words will make you look like you are smiling after you say it. Say, "Coffee?" Or "Tea?". Now say it again without trying to smile in the end. Erm. Did you…
Thank you @Bloghound I saw that ate.... merry Christmas! 🤩🤩
After Eve, etcetera December 25, 2021. Waking up groggily, she sits up and rests her forehead on her palms with her elbows on her knees. No, she was not hungover, she forgot to bring the only thing she was assigned to bring as per agreed last time she had a video call with her groupie. They booked a hotel room to enjoy and wait for December 25th. Ball drop and stuff. In her excitement, she forgot whether that bottle she had in her china was for Christmas or New Year. Oh but…
Big shout out to @foryoubtc09! Thank you so much!
Yep. . . One of the many things that changed over time (not just because of the 2-year-star-of-a-virus-we-call corona) and is significant to me is how we celebrated Christmas and New Year. I remember past Christmases when my aunts and uncles were still young and we crowd in the ancestral house in Manila to celebrate both occasions. It has always been a very fun party. Me being a kid, I loved having that freedom to be staying up late with the adults eating a lot and laughing…
Proper Reset? I really thought my momentum started to pick up when I was able to write three days consecutive around two weeks (or less) ago. I was elated to know that I will end the last parts of December of the jumanji year of 2021 with an every day article. But. I. Was. So. Wrong. I am super laughing at myself at the thought. Howell, right? Should I put "one article a day" back to new year's resolution? It is after all, a few more hours and it is 2022. But nah, I've…
