Carcar: Almost Vigan for Less

What's one thing to do if you want to unwind and you have two friends who are all too willing to spend the day with you?

Mom, You’re Right

"Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass."

Some days, you really just want to breathe. 

Last Wednesday (July 6, 2016), as our Muslim brethren were celebrating the end of the Ramadhan, Irene, Ivy, Queenie and I had our own little celebration.

Birthday Blues

I woke up today feeling lonely. I think I really shouldn’t be browsing things that will make me more upset than I should allow myself to be. I know I shouldn’t be moping around. As they say “every gising is a blessing” and after saying my “Good morning, Lord!” prayer, I ended up taking a little longer pondering things.

Grammarnazi and the Zombie

Me and English, we have issues. When I was much younger, I thought that being able to communicate in English is the measure of intelligence.
