we might not have a pope, but we got a eurovision winner

Thanks, John! I can already feel my bones staring to creak. Lol

mood today

31!

Another trip around the sun begins. A year older. A little wiser. Truly thankful.

Here's to more golden hours, quiet moments, calls back home, concert tickets and impulsive purchases.

OK. SO WHAT

queued up since 5AM with @ryannreyes.bsky.social. in hindsight, should have brought fleece blankets.

happy RSD25 to those who celebrate!

I sincerely hope that we Mindanawons, and by extension, Filipinos, become acultely aware that what we focus on with our knee-jerk reactions may reveal to others more than what we mean to convey.

There are many comparisons to be drawn in terms of our colonial history, the exploitation of our natural resources, the richness of our indigenous cultures, the plight of our migrant population and the continued struggle for democracy.

While the sweeping generalization was unwarranted, as Mindanao is not a monolith and neither is Sub-Saharan Africa, maybe we should take the time to reflect why some of us immediately take being compared to the region as insulting and derogatory.

To quote the defenders of his bloody drug war:

"Wala kang dapat ikatakot kung wala kang maling nagawa. (You have nothing to fear if you've not done anything wrong.)"

Mao na'y giingon nga gabâ.

Back here again to say that @ryannreyes.bsky.social and I can't wait to see Sabrina Carpenter and CLAIRO (OMFG) at BST Hyde Park in London! 💋🎸

My hunter (and buddies) through the generations. Can't wait to get started with Wilds!

The truth about coffee with your younger self They will not listen to you.

I wrote about the horror of deluding yourself that you have anything wise or useful to offer the person you used to be.

Kapag namulat, hindi na muling pipikit pa.

It's been fun and chaotic and I've tripped up multiple times. The dead angle attacks are learnable but take a bit of time to figure out. I can't wait to properly face off against it in the full game.

watching walking tours of davao and cebu. living in each city feels like a lifetime ago now.

A broken button with an helpful sign, a metaphor for my mood.

In 1922 Alfred Stieglitz made a series of photographs of cloudy skies, calling them Equivalents because they matched an emotion or mood he was feeling.

This is my Equivalent for today.

Possibly the worst kept secret in gaming hardware history. It's finally official!

honorable mentions:

Ah yes, New Year's Eve. The yearly anniversary where I celebrate failing to become a better person yet again.

thank you for the music, 2024!
