A few years ago, a notable commercial ad aired the Philippine television screens. It made an impact to me, and without a doubt, to most Filipino viewers as well. It’s an advertisement for a popular coffee brand, and the tagline goes like this: “Para kanino ka bumabangon? (What motivates you to get up every morning?)”… Read more

I turned 25 just half a month ago and I can say that QLC is definitely a real thing, and not just some sort of a fad where everyone seems to have jumped onto the bandwagon because it’s cool. For quite a while now, I’ve been feeling lost and helpless and frustrated upon finding out… Read more

As you might have noticed, I got a new domain name and changed the previous “avantgardewallflower.com” to “mejustbeing.me” (Hopefully not trying too hard to sound witty. Haha). For starters, avant-garde sounds a bit too ambitious, arrogant even. Last year I really was just racking my brain for anything. I was like, “Well, I want my… Read more

There was one huge problem though. I’m a certified procrastinator. . The week after the appointment, I totally blew off my… Read more

*This is a -very- short story.* – – She could see it all so clearly. – First they’d both be realizing their parallel dreams. Once they’re already financially ready, they’d get married and she’d happily bear his surname. She’d contentedly wake up every morning and would cook his favorite meals, kiss him goodbye as he… Read more

Nami-chan here. 🙂 For the longest time now, I’ve been itching to write a fan fiction or two, but for some reason, I just can’t seem to get a move on. Being too self-conscious on my fast deteriorating “writing skills” perhaps? So I’m thinking that I can be cured maybe *crossfingers* if I start writing… Read more
