Unlearning

Unlearning is the hardest lesson to learn as an adult. To understand that the path, the vision, the principles I chose in life were wrong all along.

It's the part where I realize I only got older, but never really grew up.

A pruning, some would say. A part of life where you discard even the good twigs growing in the wrong direction, to make sure you bloom to where the sun's rays reach better.

An unsure sliver of hope for a better tomorrow.

Just words

 No photos, no imagery, no doodles, nor sketches.

Just some lonely words 

out of a lonely mind.

I don't even know why I'm writing. I've lost the confidence to take up writing jobs, too. I've already lost much interest in photography. 

I don't know what else of me I can lose at this point.

Mr. Lamppost,

Mr. Lamppost, one cloudy day
He looked down on the road
which was all so gray.
There sat a cat, the world his abode.
It looked up as if it wanted to pray.
Mr. Lamppost saw the sky in its eyes,
and came to know beauty,
as they say.

Kain #4: Sari Cafe in Dasmariñas

Sari Cafe: A Melting Pot of American and Pinoy Favorites

This was actually a trip made around July last year, but due to my own unparalleled procrastination I never made the time to write the article down. But! Here's the lowdown on the underrated star of a cafe in Dasmariñas City, Cavite: Sari Cafe!

If the flag ain't yankee enough, I don't know what else in this meal isn't!

A Pretty Big Bump On the Road

I had almost a year of thinking and doing mostly nothing that it made me realize several things, to which I'd like to dedicate some time of thinking (or mulling... hope not) over.

Probably the most stressful "default" things ingrained to my brain is that self-defeating, pessimistic attitude. It's really hard to crawl out of - but I've decided some time ago that it doesn't deserve its place in my head. It's a pretty bad program to begin with, and while it keeps the insides ready for the worst, it doesn't bring out the best in me either.

There's been a lot of changes in my life since the last time I wrote here. Everything deserves an update. Even this so-so life, can use an upgrade.

Sure, my shots still suck, albeit having some of the best glass and gear of my camera maker. I go blank in the middle of shoots, I tire easily. I don't really make concepts, I'm really out of tune with creativity.

But in the middle of this black hole lies a well of hope, and that's where I'm going to start.

Maybe the key thought is, if I start from the bottom, there's nowhere to go but up.
