Do extroverts ever like, in their peak extrovertedness, maybe at a raucous party, pause for a few seconds and think, "This is absolutely perfect. This is bliss. But this ain't how life is supposed to be lived?" Because as an #introvert that is exactly what I find myself thinking sometimes when I'm perfectly isolated watching a movie and filling the empty room with the echoes of my own laughter while munching on potato chips.

#AnnieHall is just a micdrop on screenwriting I can't... My heart kinda aches because of how good and true it is.

Question no. 1: Sa Pilipinas lang ba nauso yung wedding hashtags?

Question no. 2: Kelan ba yan malalaos? Cute pa sya at first, pero naging badoodles na kasi e (esp. those that sound pilit; witty hashtags should be a prerequisite)

I haven't read this article yet. As an #introvert, I just really like the closing sentence, "Then he dropped out of society." It's poetic and would be perfect on an epitaph. "Here lies (name here). Vanguard of justice. Revered by colleagues, loved by his family. Then he dropped out of society."

It's finally here--my new #JacksonLamb mug. I've been obssessed with #SlowHorses for some time, so I had my #art printed on this mug through a website. I think it came out really good! Now I can drink coffee or tea while imagining Lamb roasting me with his tasty insults.

Since nobody here seems to have the energy nor the heart to take it down, I've decided this tree will stick around until next Christmas.

More Philippine gothic (aka my mom's stories):

My mother's eldest half sister Antonia was one of six children by my grandfather Vicente's first wife Paula. Antonia was born in 1914 and became a nurse. She was a brave, no-nonsense, determined woman, different from her two younger sisters who were pampered small town beauty queens. She served in Bataan in WW2, where she met her husband, an Army captain. Just after the war she continued serving in the hospital in Camp Macabulos in Tarlac City. /1

Throwback to that one time in 5th grade civic studies when we were discussing about basic rights of children. My teacher asked us about what we think were basic rights, and I raised my hand—and I consider this my first act of activism—and told the teacher that kids should be able to have some time everyday to play instead of studying all the time.

Recently rediscovered my love for Kowloon House Jumbo Siopao. My late grandma used to buy this for us kids. It was too big and most of the time I couldn't finish it but loved it nonetheless. It's packed with all sorts of meat and God knows what but it tastes delicious, especially with the red super spicy sauce. Nice to know little has changed about it or none at all. I've eaten too much of it during the holidays (and eating it now, again).

I ended up rewatching Jerry Maguire as 2023 came to a close. Good choice! Made me feel real good for the #NewYear.

In modern parlance, I've begun to understand my role as a father to our toddler as that of the one responsible for training a large language model.

Our farm manager Christine started cooking these bibingkas (rice cakes with salted egg and coconut) at 4am, using a charcoal stove. My mom had requested these while feeling nostalgic for the little bibingkas she used to buy as a student in Bacolod, on the side of the road while waiting for the bus home. Had a couple for breakfast; had another one with coffee just now. Delicious!

You could not convince me to use paper straws everywhere and stop using plastic bags when billionaires like Taylor Swift expend carbon emissions in three months about thirty- something times more than I do in a year just to see their boyfriend. Y'all really think the common working folk are the problem.

Somebody gifted me with impressive jars of loose leaf #tea. I rarely drink this type, and unashamed to admit I get by with bags of cheap Lipton. So I proceeded to make a cup of loose leaf mint tea--never had it before--took a sip, and, well, this must be how it feels to drink a hot cup of extra strength mouthwash.

I can't tell if I'm perpetually mildly pissed off or eternally slightly disappointed.

Merry #Christmas! I wish everyone peace, love, and all all the deep, uninterrupted refreshing sleep you deserve because that's in very short supply these days. 🌲🎅

I haven't watched any #WoodyAllen movie, haven't seen any Woody Allen anything. But I know all the nasty stuff he's been involved in. Just for the heck of it, I hit play on Hannah and Her Sisters a couple minutes ago on Amazon Prime video. And my god I hate myself for loving this oh no 🥲

#RebelMoon review: First things first--I'm probably kinder to #ZackSnyder than a lot of people because I love DC Comics and he used to be the steward of its movie universe. I do think it's unfortunate that it's become extremely hard to judge this director's work on its own merits because of his rabid "cult", and the endless comparisons of his product with the Marvel movies, which many people still view with rose-tinted glasses, even though a good number of them are schlock.

Don't really know much about chocolates, but I ended up researching the best #Filipino-made chocolates because we needed to find something good to give relatives for our #Christmas party. Tigre y Oliva was on that list, and their #bonbons were in the range of our budget, so we purchased some. They're really good. 👌

Also, I didn't know there's a growing number of local artisanal chocolate brands now. If we can make chocolates this good, it's an industry that needs more support.
