Never accept less than you deserve.

i went back and they were still fangs

i said goodbye.

meant it.

burned the bridge,

watched the ash.

and yet—

here i am.

tiptoeing back

into the same hell.

familiar faces,

unfamiliar hearts.

they talk sweet,

but their words hiss.

smiles tight,

like they’re waiting to bite.

i don’t trust them.

never did.

but loneliness

is a sharp fucking thing,

and sometimes,

you sleep with serpents

just to feel warm.

Pretty and Pink

A lesson that was wanted to keep, Never learned, always on repeat. The feeling was unmatched, Nothing could compete, Until emptiness took over, Replaced what should feel complete.

Blinded by a foolish heart, The loveliest shade of pink. All doubts remain, Lingering with a haunting ghost.

The joke is clear; a lost and wandering soul, Clinging to memories that might not be real. Just a way to pass the time, But joy was brought to these days.

A lesson that could never be kept, The universe chose a different plan. One will remember, and another forget, The journey continues—reluctantly met.

Chunk of Tire

I still see the chunk of tractor-trailer tire flipping end-over-end in slow motion towards us. Growing bigger and bigger, it slammed into the front of our car and bounced off the hood, before disappearing in a flash. The actual elapsed time was perhaps one second from start to finish, but it was enough, and the damage was done.  Continue reading Chunk of Tire

The fifth installment of LIFE LOGS serves as the first release since Jaevonn has become a licensed attorney. The lessons in this book occurs before he gained his esteemed title but they’re all the things that led up to such a monumental moment.

Please use these as writings as an entertaining tool as much as an educating tool. but don’t take him too serious these are just his thoughts ladies and gentleman.

Life Lens - Entry 205

Honestly, when I look back on some of the things I put up with in the past, I can’t help but feel disgusted. It’s almost hard to believe how much I tolerated, whether it was people disrespecting me, situations that drained my energy, or just letting things slide that I should’ve stood up against. I didn’t value myself enough back then, and that’s what bothers me the most. I never want to be in…

If I've learned anything from life, it's that sometimes, the darkest times can bring us to the brightest places.

I've learned that the most toxic people can teach us the most important lessons, that our most painful struggles can grant us the most necessary growth;and that the most heartbreaking losses of friendship and love can make room for the most wonderful people.

I've learned that what seems like a curse in the moment can actually be a blessing and that what seems like the end of the road is actually just the discovery that we are meant to travel down a different path.

You walked away from me long ago, I didn't. You just don't like that I closed the door.

Lessons in Architectural Disaster: The Narrative of Structural Failures Amidst the vast landscape of architectural education, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse stands as a haunting reminder of the intricate relationship between structure and design. Lectures reverberate with the echoes of "cumulative effects of undampened rhythmic forces" and "intense resonant oscillation," cautioning against the pitfalls of disregarding structural integrity. The Millennium Bridge in London, too, bears witness to the repercussions of overlooking structural dynamics, as the rhythmic footsteps of pedestrians induced unsettling vibrations, prompting its temporary closure for remediation. Even the historic Albert Bridge, adorned with a sign prohibiting marching soldiers from Chelsea Barracks due to resonant frequencies, serves as a stark testament to the delicate balance between form and function. Yet, as the annals of architectural history unfold, today's lesson arrives with a sombre tone—the fall of Baltimore's Key Bridge after a devastating collision with the vessel Dali. The narrative echoes the timeless tale of the Ancient Mariner, where the misfortunes of one reverberate through the fate of many. In the wake of this tragedy, architects are confronted with a poignant reminder—the conceptual notion of disaster as a design element. It is not merely an abstract concept but a tangible reality, intent on imparting its lesson to students of architecture. As the Key Bridge crumbles into the depths below, it serves as a stark symbol of the consequences of overlooking structural integrity and the profound impact of design decisions on the built environment. The incident underscores the imperative for architects to not only master the principles of form and aesthetics but also to embrace a holistic understanding of structure and engineering. Amidst the chaos and devastation, there lies an opportunity for reflection and growth—a call for architects to imbue their designs with a deep reverence for the forces of nature and the imperative of resilience. For it is in confronting the challenges of disaster that architects find the true essence of their craft—a synthesis of artistry, innovation, and unwavering dedication to the safety and well-being of society. As the Key Bridge stands as a solemn reminder of the fragility of human endeavour, architects are tasked with the solemn duty of weaving disaster into the very fabric of their designs, transforming tragedy into resilience, and imbuing the built environment with the wisdom gained from the lessons of the past.

Last night, I still couldn't get over our conversation with my 5-year-old niece.

I went to 7/11 with my two nieces. I treated my high school niece to some food because she rarely visits us.

While we were looking for food, one of my nieces was also busy looking for what she wanted. She suddenly approached me and showed me what she had, saying, "Uncle, I want this!"

Me: I immediately responded that I don't have any money. (She had taken two lipstick-shaped candies worth 40 pesos. Tapos dalawa pa kinuha niya.) Ibalik mo yan.

Niece: No. I want this!😄

Me: Return them. Wala akong pera. Ikaw ipambabayad ko niyan.

Niece: No. I want this!😄

Me: I really don't have enough money with me right now. Kuha ka nalang ng iba.

Then she suddenly left the store with what she took.

Me: Hoy, bawal yan! 😂 Don't leave if you haven't paid for it.

Niece: But I want this!🥹

Me: sabe ko, I don't have any money!

I was surprised when she suddenly got angry and said to me,

Niece: You're working and yet you don't have money?!🤨

Then I thought aba di ako ready non ah 😅 hahahhahah

Me: kuha ka ng isa.

But she even insisted saying,

Niece: What about Breanna? Don't you love her?🥹 (Referring to her sister who was at home).

Ending, ang bata ay tuwang-tuwa because I bought what she wanted. 🫠🫠🫠
