This Week on Instagram

I was on a roll yesterday. After Spanish lunch and early afternoon cocktails with dear friends, I went straight to a punk gig. The punk heavyweights were there: Betrayed, The Beauty of Doubt, Goo, and some really awesome young bands like Singkopado Sound System. I must admit that at some point, I dozed off in a corner because well, it was way past my bed time hahaha! It was good to be with this bunch. ❤❤❤ This is our #howimetyourmother shot at Mow's. Rock on!

It's a sangria kind of afternoon. I think we will be banned from @ramblaph hahaha I swear we were much wilder back in the day.

The quintessentially Pinoy #jeepney This one in #MuseoPambata is sooo adorable. // #pinaytraveller #morefuninthephilippines

When I'm doing something close to my heart, something that I love or am passionate about, my heart always skips a beat. I feel the rush, as if I'm ready to take on the world. Most of all, I feel a sense of fulfillment. The past couple of days has been like this for me. I feel that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. I feel alive!

Thanks to my friend Grace for this gift. I ordered this from her online bookshop but she said she'd give it to me as a birthday 🎁 instead. Yay! This is quite heavy stuff. The author, the brilliant #ryunosukeakutagawa is considered the Father of the Japanese short story. He battled depression for many years. In 1927, he wrote A Fool's Life (or The Life of a Stupid Man) which is largely autobiographical. That same year, he took an overdose of Veronal and died in his own home. He was only 35. To quote from his book: "Ah, what is the life of a human being--a drop of dew, a flash of lightning? This is so sad, so sad." 😭 PS The Akira Kurosawa classic Rashomon was based on one of Akutagawa's short stories titled 'In a Grove' . // Go check out @sell.phi

The #Amsterdam cliche. I didn't see any actual performance but the sign on the window is very telling. 🇳🇱 || #PinayTraveller #PinayTravels

Thankful for another year. I can tell that this next orbit will be awesome. Also, I'm a moon child and this explains everything. Haha. Here's a shoutout to all #Cancer people (those who were born with the moon in Cancer). We are nurturing home buddies, creative, sensitive, and most of all, generous to the point of self-deprivation. May our tribe increase! Artwork gifted by @markinton Salamat po!

A lot of us feel trapped in our failures and are not able to move on. Sometimes, it really does seem easier to curl up into a ball and stay in the darkest corner of the room. But how can we pull ourselves away from our misery? Well, I think one way is to accept that there are things in life that are beyond our control. That our failures do not define us. Life goes on but we can always decide the outcome of each day. #thoughtswhilehavingcoffee
