george took a chance on dream and bad took a chance on dream and dream took a chance on sam and dream took a chance on puffy and dream took a chance on hannah and sylvee and dream took a chance on pmbata and they stood with them and can you just tell that the love goes around, can you tell that love multiplies, can you tell that the love you give also comes back around tenfold can you tell the kindness you give is worth it is worth it is worth it

[Image Description: A drawing of a woman wearing a golden baro't saya laying in the dirt, clutching another woman's severed head to her chest. 

Around her are stylized dismembered body parts, either as bones or stripped of skin -- her lover's arms curved around her, legs, heart, lungs, eyes, teeth, and so on. Between these are several scattered items, such as a necklace, a bolo knife, a lamp, a comb. Tufts of grass weave their way in between the body parts and objects. The drawing has a border of white anthuriums, a flower often used in funeral bouquets. /end ID]

Habang tumatanda ay nasasanay na tayong isantabi yung mga nararamdaman natin dahil may ibang kailangang asikasuhin, dahil alam nating hindi tumitigil ang mundo kahit may pinagdadaanan tayo. Sana may ligtas na espasyo at sapat na oras para sa lahat ng ating mga isinasantabi.

Three things I'm learning about myself when you came into the picture:

1. Lately, I'm learning to really see how crazy our emotions are.

I know they're crazy because I go from an all out love one day and immediately, just the next day after, I loathe you completely. It has become a game I played every morning, "What do I feel for you today?" I should've started recording, it would've probably been a good research study.

2. I'm also learning to discover a lot of insecurities about myself.

There's this huge acceptance I have for myself. Acceptance and even confidence all because of the identity I have in Christ. But the moment you came in, everything started to waver. I overthink most days. It sucks because you don't even know I have those. And yet, I know that it's more of getting to know myself. This isn't really about you. It's about me.

3. I often think about when will be the end of this. And how far gone I would've gotten myself into a deep pain and hurt.

I'm stating a fact. I wasn't in the picture before. It's just when you knew about how I felt that you started to really consider things. And this truth often wrecks me. My ideal way, shattered already. I couldn't imagine having feelings for someone whose feelings were just anchored to mine first. At the same time, I know that this means I'm highly skeptical of how you feel. And it reflects that I don't really trust how you feel for me. There I was, having my heart broken already. But I realized, although this is valid, there will never be any person that I should have fully trusted apart from the grace of God.

Our emotions are crazy. We have internal conflicts within ourselves. Those truths alone are enough to doubt any human, and rightly doing so. Now, I'm learning to trust based on where God is leading us. I'm trusting that He is at work for the both of us. And if it ever comes to a point of ending this journey, I know, I'm still in the right hands. All because my focus is not on you, but in the One who has been My Constant, My Always.

sinusubukan na naman ni Bakunawa kainin ang buwan 🌕

very very cringe writeup ahead!!!!

Hundreds of years ago, the Bakunawa terrified anyone within its presence. It devours the full moon resulting to what seems to be an endless night. It roars in glee as all light and all hope cease to exist.

Today, many have already forgotten the terror of the great serpent. It has been reduced to a folktale to a bed time story to a mere gossip to pass the time. But be careful for it continues to haunt the common people. It hides within plain sight, ready to pounce at any moment. It slithers in the crowd hoping to find an unknowing victim. It follows the light coming from a hopeful soul.

So stay vigilant and keep eye on your belongings. If you found yourself attacked by it, you must fight with all your might. Don't let it plunge you into the deep darkness. Protect your moon.

[soundsfaebutokay]

Filipino artists (both local and diaspora) that I found on Bandcamp.

It's fun to poke around in there to see what you can discover.

Haley Heynderickx - introspective, hypnotic, playful folk music. Incredibly empathetic and charming. Fave: Drinking Song from I Need to Start a Garden

Han Han - fiery and feminine hip hop with some songs in Tagalog, some in Cebuano, occasionally mixed with English. Catchy as hell. Fave: Kuyaw from URDUJA

Munimuni - soothing, dreamy Tagalog songs that will have you gazing out the window and yearning for love as soft as the sunrise. Fave: Marilag from Simula EP

Pantayo - Three words: contemporary kulintang music. It's extraordinary. They've mixed the unique sound of traditional percussion instruments with elements of electronic, synth-pop, punk, and R&B music and created something truly wonderful. Fave: Eclipse from Pantayo LP

Orange & Lemons - They used to be pretty big on the OPM scene, then they disbanded and went quiet for fourteen years. I wasn't much of a fan back then, but now they're back with an all-Filipino album of unabashedly romantic modern kundimans and I'm into this sound. Poetic as fuck. Fave: Pag-ibig sa Tabing-dagat from La Bulaqueña

"Kalsada'y tahanan t'wing ika'y kasama kalsada'y tahanan"

-Kalsada, MUNIMUNI

Mga litrato noong 11.11, nagpunta kami ng mga kaibigan ko sa SILIM BAR & KITCHEN dahil napag-alaman naming may gig ang MUNIMUNI rito. Bilang taon din ang nakalipas nang kami ay nanood ng mga banda nang magkakasama, sinamantala na namin ang pagkakataon na sumaya kahit ang dami naming iniwanang gawain. Ano lang ba ang limang oras na magkakasama 'di ba? Hindi talaga kami kompleto, kaming lima lang ang natuloy dahil siguro kami na rin ang pinakagala sa barkada! hahahaha

Napag-usapan namin na mayroong dalawang klase ng tao sa mga lakad natin sa buhay. Naks!

Sunny person- mga taong nagpapahupa sa kalamidad tuwing may gala, laging maaraw, laging maganda ang daloy nang pangyayari sa araw na 'yon.

Rainy person- mga taong may balat sa puwet, tuwing may lakad ay lagi na lang umuulan. May nakakalimutan, naiiwanan para bang hindi handa ang panahon kapag lumalabas.

HULAAN NIYO KUNG ANO AKO SA DALAWA?

Bago pa kami makarating sa SILIM, ang dami muna nangyaring minor inconveniences, umulan mga 15 minuto, syempre wala akong payong pero meron yung isa naming kaibigan, sumilong kami sa saradong tindahan at sinundo namin ang isa naming kasama para pilitin siya sumama. Naging dahilan pa ata ito nang pagkatampuhan nila ng mama niya.

Masaya kasi natuloy, malungkot dahil di kumpleto. Pero may susunod pa naman!

Bago kami nakapasok sa loob, bumili muna kami ng ticket at binayaran ang table, consumable naman 'to kaya pumayag na kami kahit nagkagulatan kami sa presyo. Nag-order kami ng maraming pagkain at natatawa sa aming mga sarili dahil parang handaan sa birthday yung nasa mesa namin.

Konting kwentuhan, tawanan at inuman ('di ako uminom softdrinks lang) tapos nakinig sa mga kanta ng MUNIMUNI, kinakantyawan pa nga nila ako na baka umiyak ako, paano ba naman ang daming ala-ala ang nakalakip sa mga kanta. Pero ito nalampasan ko naman at kung may luha mang tumulo ay dahil sobrang humanga ako sa boses at pagtugtog nila.

Anim na kanta ang aming napakinggan, ngunit ang huli ang pinakatumatak, ang kanta nilang Marilag, sabi pa nga ng bokalista nahihirapan siya kantahin ito dahil para daw siyang sobrang badtrip tapos biglang papasayawin sa party.

Mahirap na magbigay ka ng liwanag na mismo ikaw ay nakakaranas ng dilim.

Pagtapos no'n ay tumambay saglit at nagkwentuhan lang, tapos bago umuwi ay kumuha ng litrato sa kalsada. Hinahanap na rin ako ng magulang ko. Lahat naman kami ay nakauwi nang maayos at buo. Sa uulitin!

Siya nga pala ito ang mga kanta ng MUNIMUNI pakinggan niyo!

dream is about to create his own leitmotifs

[phoveus]

pasensya na kung hindi pinapansin ang yong hinihiling na tumingala sa mga tala

dahil kahit sampong libo pa ang magpakita, mas gugustuhuhin ko parin tumingin sa sining ng iyong mga mata.

Manila is much more than these four corners

“Ang liit pala ng mundong ginagalawan natin.“

“Mas nababagay ako rito.“

My younger sister told me that she thought we’re gonna settle our lives living here in our province the rest of our lives. Continuing our day knowing that we’ll be here, in our grandparent’s house, in a structure with unnoticeable absence of people who were once the source of its life. 

We went to Manila to accompany my Lola for her medical check-up needed before she go to Australia. My aunt, who lived half of her life in Makati, was also with us, our guide. 

My aunt told me and my sister to go to a nearby store outside the building while she help and wait Inay to finish. 

The thing is, actually, we had been wanting to visit the Ayala Museum. Me and my sister are big lovers of museums. 

Sitting in a convenience store, I watch people pass by the street. A delivery man and an employee early in the morning to do their business. We are doing nothing but stare what’s in front of us. To my surprise, I got a message from our aunt living in abroad, “Kamusta ang Makati girls.” I replied a photo of me and my sister drinking a box of chocolate drink. 

After a long while, we went out the store and walked the street of Salcedo. So as a probinsyana who seldomly visit Manila, I roamed my eyes admiring everything. All was new, even if it’s the usual things I see on the streets. 

Doing nothing again in the same store, my aunt suddenly called. She booked a Grab for us to go to the museum. 

Now, our national artist Fernando Amorsolo. More Amorsolo. A bit of Luna. And saw works of Amorsolo’s colleague. 

Witnessed things that I didn’t knew existed. 

Paintings which I often see on Google, now seen by my bare eyes.

2 pm. Had a short walk to Greenbelt for late lunch. My first time dining at Italliani’s, and I immediately knew we’re in a restaurant with sosyalin people. 

We decided to walk after the lunch we had. Roamed around Greenbelt. All I can see from my left and right are those designer brands.  

Even while walking at the mall, I was slowly getting more convinced that there’s more than the current, revolving world I’m in; there’s more place that offers more. My sister also spoke to me her thoughts, similar to mine.

Settling for idle and systematic days will somehow delay my growth as a person. 

Waiting to process my driver’s license may take a while. But I hope time will come, I have the courage to willingly commute on my own. And make known to myself that it’s okay to stay away from the things that will remind me of how I mold myself in a difficult way. Because there’s more to it. 

[melovesanneeeee]

Kung ikaw ay ulan—ikaw 'yong tipong pumapatak sa bubong nang marahan. Ikaw 'yong gusto akong i-hele sa paghimbing at samahan pa rin hanggang sa paggising. Ikaw 'yong pipiliting dumampi sa'king mga balat kahit ang payong ko'y matayog namang nakaangat.

Kung ikaw ay ulan—ikaw ay aking aawitan. Ikaw lang ang musikang pakikinggan. Ikaw ang tunog na babalik-balikan. Ikaw ang paborito kong ulan.

"Anong gagawin kung wala ka?"

[sobearabi]

hindi ko na iniisip ngayon ang tanong ng munimuni kung "pa'nong gagawin kung wala ka?" dahil wala ka na talaga ngayon.

at hindi ko rin alam ang gagawin ko.
