PHM

I made a choice which is ultimately responsible but still deep down I feel a little sad I had to table this stuff for later again. Just so many things I need to take care and it is also the financially sound decision. Rational call but I admit it's a bit saddening. But I'll get over it because overall picture it's not really a big deal! 

Tamam!

Things are coming in and piling up a little which is nice because we need to keep things stable. I have many things to do per usual and hopefully I can manage things better without sacrificing my well-being of course. 

49!

 Today my parents are celebrating their 49th wedding anniversary! Thank you dear Lord for blessing my parents  all these years! One thing I've realized as I grow old is that my parents are indeed a good team together and how they managed to raise us 4 children is so amazing. Hardwork, dedication and of course unconditional love! May the Lord bless my parents always

Ada and Bora

 Watched Twist of Fate's first episode on SolarFlix earlier and I'm just happy to see our dubbing work translate well on screen. I really enjoyed doing this project, it's  such a fun show! I hope they will upload it soon on Youtube so I can share! 

TettaTete

 I just finished listening to all the episodes available of the TettaTete podcast by former FM DJs I listened to before! I'm a big fan of Patty (DJ Kelly on Magic/Play/Max FM), one of my all-time favorites on the radio! I never realized how much I missed listening to her voice, both the vocal quality and the things she says, until I l heard her again after so many years! I love listening to people share their thoughts, especially now that I'm an adult. These kinds of introspective discussions about life hold a lot of meaning to me now!

LSPCON 2026

 I judged a student publication contest organized by my beloved Heraldo Filipino, It's part of the Lasallian Schools Press Conference that they are hosting this year! We hosted this back in 2007 too and was one of the first things I did as newly-appointed EIC. It was such a moment. Glad to be part again after many years. Campus journalism will always have a special place in my heart. 

Two Weeks

 Glad for a safe arrival and I hope they all have a safe and good time. Thank you, Lord. The next two weeks will be interesting to me as well and hopefully I can some things done and also get a little breather not gonna deny. But don't get me wrong, I do love what I do but every now and then I need some breather so I don't get all burned out that I could end up not being grateful in the end. I don't want to feel regret. I am okay with what is now but yes I hope for better ahead days ahead. 

Safe

 I'm getting worried but I know this is the right call. They deserve it and I hope all goes well and nothing stressful happens too. I hate myself for thinking a lot of negative things but I keep it to myself so there won't be unnecessary problems. Dear Lord, please keep them safe always

36 Minutes

 Just a little bit more and I'm done with this gigantic task. I had to extra effort because I was not in top form yesterday and I wasn't able to complete everything needed. But I do think I made the right call listening to my body! Better be safe than sorry

Good job

 After my mini meltdown (to myself per usual) yesterday, I felt a little sick today but then made me remember things I should be grateful for. And the cause of stress I had last night has been fixed and good thing I didn't act out in front of other people because unneccesary problem it would have caused! Anyway, I had to delay some things to do today because I wasn't in form, but tomorrow I'll be back. Needed a break (not even a full break, just took a breather)

Fight

 I'm tired but I need to keep on fighting. I'm stressed but I know it's something manegeable but the heat is just making things a lot harder. It elevates small problems to bigger than it is. It didn't help that I overheard some shady comments earlier too, maybe in jest, maybe acting out of recent events but it's annoying. Then I have a lot of things to do but I took a detour earlier because I was a feeling off then I had to do other stuff in consideration of others. One of those days...

Flight

 The next week is hectic, so many things that needs to get done in a quick manner and on top of that I have to take care of personal things which hopefully will be smooth and persons involved will have a convenient time as well. Thank you Dear Lord because despite my paranod, you hear my prayers, I'm  so grateful, please continue guiding us

IO

 Plot twist! I didn't expect that we will ever have something to do with then! Hopefully it's a good thing but I'm a bit wary about it. 

On Call

 Reading comments on Scrubs' Facebook page, a lot of people say they got used to seeing Neil Flynn as Mike Heck, whereas before they had a hard time seeing him as not The Janitor on The Middle. Honestly, same thought! The revival season is over, and I enjoyed it, but it was way too short, with just 9 episodes. Hopefully, we get 20+ again next season. For now, I will just binge the earlier seasons of Scrubs, which I watched on actual free TV (RPN 9) weekly back in the day.

Pilots

Joined Spotted Ratings community "Pilot" season, which is a little group activity where commenters pitch their pilot concepts and other users rate them later, and top scorers get an "order". It's a little silly on the surface but kinda fun to play armchair TV development executive when I score pilot premises over the years. This time I made pitches for the first time! It was fun and good brain exercise! Let's see how my pitches fair after the judging, ha!

Vibes

I've been wanting to get a massage for weeks and I finally got one today. A little bit of impulse move because I had one after work, I usually my routine and time set but squeezing that massage meant I got home a little later but it's okay. I really needed this one! I always getting a massage from blind masseause, they just do things differently! 

Artemis II

 I was not paying that much attention when it was happening because my mind is all distracted of some many things but today all of a sudden and watching reading about the Artemis II exploration. And I'm so amazed and also somehow emotional too? It really is something out of this world for me to think about deeply

New Suki

Now that the Mercury Drug near our office has closed down, I went to another branch that's also nearby.  It's a little farther than our office and I need to cross another street which is okay but the traffic light takes forever for pedestrians' turn! Anyway, that branch is smaller but at least it's not as crowed as other Mercury branches and it has my essential snacks I want. Convenience stores are more expensive, I want cheaper snacks! Oh well, I still miss the branch near us but that's life

Pantropiko 2026

 

Oh, I really love this Coachella version of Pantropiko! BINI did really great here, I'm proud that did so wel on such a big stage! I feel like this song will yet again regain popularity. It's such a good song and this version is another level.

20 Minutes

Just a little more push and it's all done. Hopefully tomorrow I can settle another one off my list that's been a little delayed but partially settled. It's a little messy and chaotic but I don't know works for me. But it shouldn't be like this always!

Thoughts on Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair

 It was originally pitched as a TV movie and you could feel it!  Anyway, with just 4 episodes it was an easy and fun binge.

Episode 4 is the best of course, Malcolm and Lois confrontation while Craig is doing his business in the toilet! Crazy funny while having the heart of the story.

I liked Hal in general but he was too much in this one. Yes, Bryan Cranston became the biggest name after this show and he is first billed now but episode 3 when he was front and center was a bit painful to watch. He actually had more scenes than Malcom himself 

New Dewey is forgettable and I don't get why the character had to be 'remote' for ep. 4? Maybe they were hoping Erik Per Sullivan would agree in this setup?

Malcolm's daughter was good and funny and I wouldn't mind a series centered on her! The girlfriend is also a good character.

I also liked Kelly, the youngest!

There were less Reese than I hoped but his few moments were fun, Justin's comic timing is just perfect.

It was fun to see Stevie, Malcolm's other childhood 'friends', Francis' friends in ep. 4

While this wasn't fully satisfying, I'm still glad to see this family again and honestly I wanted more!

Grunts

 I went hard today on a specific thing and glad I accomplished it well. Now, there's more ahead I need to get done and hopefully I can make good progress tomorrow so the weekend will be not chaotic, we need to avoid that!

Metropolitan

 Some bad choices were made and I'm paying for it. Sometimes, I never learn! Charge it to experience and to aim for sounder decisions in the future.

First Look

 

Excited for this to finally grace local TV screens! I wrote the dubbing scripts for the first two episodes of Twist of Fate" and so excited to see it be alive on screen! It will premiere this Saturday 8 PM on SolarFlix!

Mid

 This is such a good interview mostly thanks to The Middle's Eden Sher's infectious energy. I love that Eden Sher still remembers they launched with Hank. The interviewer is a bit frustrating, he is kinda clueless on how TV works. Tidbit here was they were kinda tricked to do the Sue spinoff, Eden was not interested at first but she was told the producers wanted to later on she found the producers initially said no but they were told she wanted to do so. I just saw Netflix Philippines will have The Middle on their lineup soon, I'm in a for a rewatch, love that show so much

Rising

 Checked everything off my list! I really had the energy to do a lot of things on Easter day itself! Glad I was able to keep that momentum going so I can lighter load tomorrow. I do have to finish other things but at least some of the things are already done! Hoping for a bright week ahead!

Life is....

 I've been listening to interviews of Frankie Muniz and Justin (Reese) for the Malcolm in  the Middle revival, and from what I gather, it really is supposed to be a TV movie only and it looks like it was Craig's call to make it a 4-episode "event" . Frankie did say the 4 episodes are really just one continuous story and he said that the story left on a good note, that if it's really the last time it would be good place to conclude. But I think Craig wants a series revival, the show is popular overseas especially Latin America because the humor is so easily translatable to non-Americans so could be a good thing for Disney. So excited to watch it next week!

Blinking

 I failed to replicate the thing I did last year. But there's still some progress just not fully focused like last year, it's a mix of geting pre-occuping of that thing that hang over my head for many weeks and general feel laziness! But anywya, psyching myself again to finish this one!

One Minute

 Felt quite relieve the one thing I was anxious and almost made me make a big impusilve decision is taken care off already. Nabunutan ng tink as they say. I know objectively speaking it wasn't really that problematic, I just made mountains out of molehills but it's me. Anyway, tomorrow I need to do something that I held off because I was too worried about this thing that I can't focus on another thing!

Foresee

 Just as I predicted, oh well. I did make a correct choice today though but still this kind of stress / dilemma is unavoidable I guess. I'm trying my best not to get so affected by this because it is out of my control in the end.
