Man beside me muttering to himself: Never! Never! Never!

Me to self: Maybe he's on the phone... Nope, he's not.

Muttering man: Never! Never! Never! Hindi ako interesado sa yo.

And this is why I won't ride a cramped train ever again.

Random Thoughts

SSI 2006 by Jeneen

It's been a month. I miss my son.
I'm thankful though for my parents for being such wonderful grandparents to him.
I'm supposed to be writing for a client but my mind is elsewhere. I have less than 10 hours to write 15 400-word articles.
I miss taking photos. I miss writing for myself.

Dogs and cats

I have always held the belief that the main difference between dogs and cats is in their way of copulating.

Dogs do it in the middle of the street but do it quietly. Nakikita mo pero wala kang marinig. On the other hand, cats are the noisiest fuckers but you don’t see them. Di mo nga nakita pero ang ingay naman.

Today. Noontime. I saw cats doing it on the sidewalk. Without a sound from either one.

Parang something fundamental about my universe changed, like the moment I knew that Santa doesn’t exist. If mamaya makita ko ang Loch Ness monster sa canal, di na ako magugulat.
