Ukokkei Ramen ★★★★★
One manic Tuesday—the traffic swayed us to this little known Japanese Ramen place in Pasay Road Makati called Ukokkei. Or maybe it has as a growing number of fans already, I suppose yes because it’s hard to keep it a secret how good it is there. It’s super-good-as-in-best-ramen-I’ve-ever-had and I’ve only been there twice. This second visit, after the nightmare of...

I miss my red pen, the one I use to tick off finished to-do’s.
I miss The Pantry Coffee, it’s the best free cafe latte ever.
I miss the piles of paper scattered on my desk, I like referring to them all the time.
I miss working with two screens, my many opened pages & apps can’t fit in here.
I miss the office. PLEASE STOP RAINING ALREADY.

My Cinemalaya Wednesday
Congratulate me for successfully braving the rush hour from Ortigas to CCP on a weeknight, just to catch the gala premiere of Direk Joey’s Mga Mumunting Lihim. I remember being extra excited to watch it because it was the first time I brought mom to Cinemalaya, one my favorite seasons, something I’ve been looking forward to since college. I’ve been doing this for five years...

Clock is ticking; June is ending.
And so are my many excuses and delays.
I’m throwing away this badge
that says “I’m taking it slow”;
and start running after
what could be and what I want to be.
Life is exciting and so get excited, Tin.

Milktea: What is just a phase
Tell me which milktea you like and I’ll tell you where you can find one.
It was like that for me for some time and my everyday craving whether it be zentea/tea blends, gong cha, serenitea, happy lemon; could be for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, or pretty much any time of the day—it was a given. Not to mention I had an army of beautiful ladies sharing the same practice, advocating...

Good night in a rhyme
Off to bed early, As if there’s a pajama party; Good night shirt tucked in That goes for everyone who’s in.
Tomorrow, a long day awaits, For me and my inn-mates. See you again in the morning, Ilocos; And I’m glad just ‘cause. :-)

And this, my 8888th tweet, I shall dedicate to...
It was about three years ago when I made a Twitter account, as only influenced by a handful of people who thought we should give it a try why not. I immediately abandoned it though because I couldn’t see the point of tweeting back then. Swear I could have spelled it as “twitting” that time. So it was boring, I only end up rereading my tweets and well, it was boring—natural...

Dear Lord Heavenly Father
Thank you for this day As I always say; For everything I learned And the things I’ve had. May it be good earned Or even if it were bad; Stay and bear with me As I go through it with thee; Now I bid good night, As I turn off the light.

Two months and one leap day after
I received a birthday greeting via the post mail from De La Salle University, signed by President and Chancellor Br. Narciso S. Erguiza, Jr. FSC. It was written in a very personal tone exuding pride and honor for a Lasallian alumnus like me. I’m not sure if this is a new effort but it’s the first time I received a letter from them since I graduated, which was two years ago. Don’t...

Q: What if time was our currency?
Imagine having to give up minutes and hours of your life in exchange for clothes, shoes, gadgets and books. If it were the case then I would’ve given away years of my life shopping by now and be certain of one thing—that I’d die young. Unless I belong in the “upper zones” where people can afford to dress gorgeously and move a bit too slowly.
Time—a SciFi movie...

Hi-Ho
Have you been in a situation where you know exactly how the story will end but somehow its ending still managed to surprise you in more ways than one?
I knew that day will come, I just didn’t realize that it would come that soon. Guess I was still buying time, preparing for an event I’m hugely unfamiliar with. It lasted long—the Day, the Wake, the Cremation and other necessary...
Today I fell in love with a surfer.
I swear one day, I’ll meet him in the waves.
