What did you think? Relate ba? Which guy were you rooting for? ☺️

Not me, but I've seen enough viral videos of people behaving their worst on bad days. I also feel bad for them, and minsan iniisip ko, paano kung ako yun? Ano gagawin ko next?

What would you do if you were in their place?

Anyone watching this series?

Naiinis ako sobra kay Janine! Ang malditang bata. (Great actress, by the way.)

Pero hindi ko maisip how the show's writers will write her character's ending to my satisfaction, lalo na't wala naman siyang real ties to any of the characters so far.

Like, ayoko naman siya i-kill off. Pero parang di ko rin matanggap if maging mabait siya at mapatawad siya nila Ibiang. Ayoko rin yung ending na she will sacrifice herself for any of the good characters!

Ano sa tingin ninyo?

May pusa dito sa garden na iniiwanan ko ng food. Dalawang beses na siya nag-iwan ng patay na daga. Sabi sa akin, nagpapasalamat daw. Totoo ba ito?

When I was in high school, a teacher told us that we would meet lifelong friends in college. Totoo naman, but my core group is still my high school barkada except for one or two that fell out. But there are also some people in high school that I don't want to encounter. Kayo ba?

Totoo ba ang sumpa at totoo ba na mas malaki ang balik nito? I heard this from a Catholic exorcist priest, and he told the story of a woman whose own mother had unknowingly cursed her and opened the doorway to her possession.

Later, kinwento niya na may power nga yung sumpa pero he said it was like making a deal with the devil and the devil will ask for something usually bigger in return.

Totoo ba ito, even outside of Catholic teachings? And how do you protect yourself?

I remember playing (wholesome) games in a mall somewhere with my college friends, laughing too loud, without a care in the world, and noticing some "old people" looking annoyed or openly glaring at us. Then, I remember thinking they were just jealous because we were young and free and could still "play."

I laugh at my young self now, because I'm one of those "old people" and when I see young people being noisy, I am never jealous, just simply annoyed! The glare is not because I resent their youth. I just really glare out of annoyance. Haha

Funny rin because very few of the "old people" I know even want to be in their late teens or twenties again! No jealousy has been mentioned whatsoever, except, maybe when it comes to wishing back the ability to eat copious amounts of junkfood and drink alcohol (but what "old person" really wants to go back to pomelo gin or endless bottles of beer these days?).

A friend had to let a tenant ko. Medyo madugo ang process, umabot sa barangay.

When they cleared this person's room, they found an assortment of items in the fridge with the names of my friend and her staff written in red ink.

May dalawang PET bottles. Nakalagay daw sa refrigerator. Now, nagkaroon ng slight health issues yung kaibigan ko at staff niya recently, pero resolved na.

The person who found the bottles claim na kinukulam sila. Wala rin naman ibang dahilan para isulat names nila dun sa bote.

Totoo kaya ito? Anong klaseng kulam yung ilalagay yung bote sa ref?

Ano ang dapat gawin ng friend ko para kontrahin ito?

Catholic sila. Should they have the place blessed again?

I'd like to get back to writing essays again. Do you know of any writing prompts for this genre?

I'd like to get back into essay writing, specifically creative nonfiction. Do you have any leads for writing prompts for this genre?

If yes, what specific cases should be allowed for medically assisted dying? For example, severe depression, chronic illness, painful conditions.

If not, why?

I enjoyed the Sisu, Taken, John Wick, The Equalizer films. I'm thinking of movies where a reclusive, mysterious character has deadly skills and is forced to use them for vengeance or to save themselves or someone. Nothing complicated.

For some reason, I find these type of movies relaxing. 😊

I'm looking for English movies, but I'm open to suggestions for foreign language films as well. I think Sisu wasn't originally in English?
