Back in 2021, my friends Dred, Jemma and I talked about where we would like to be in 3 years, as inspired by the HIMYM episode called “Trilogy Time.” I forgot about this until recently when I was searching for something else on my blog and stumbled upon it. This year is the 3 years […]
Love Stories are a Topic for the Young
Recently, my friend May shared a reel made by Justine Luzares that made her feel kilig (giddy). Her sharing about feeling kilig made me realize something. When you make new friends as an older person, you don’t really talk about love lives anymore. This isn’t the first time I realized this, actually. I had this […]
Is it Bad That I Look Young?
“My boyfriend can’t believe that you’re over 40,” my friend told me recently. Apparently he could believe it about our other friend, but not me. This isn’t surprising to me. I’ve been getting the exact same reaction from many people who met me for the first time. My reaction was always to be flattered. I […]
Bucket List 2.0
A couple of weeks ago, we released a podcast episode about bucket lists. You can listen to it below or look for episode 80 of Banana Q: a Filipino flavored podcast on Spotity, Apple, or wherever you listen to podcasts. In the episode, we discussed the origins of the bucket list (it was a term […]
Back to that First Blog Post
It just suddenly occurred to me that today is the 17th anniversary of this blog. So I made a note to blog today because of course I have to. Sure, 17 is not really a nice round number to celebrate unlike 10 – when I made that whole post and even bought balloons and a […]
Memories of Vale
Dear Team Spirit, Today I’m finally strong enough to write this without bursting into tears. I’ve been digging into my blog and diary archives lately, looking at posts from our golden era – our early twenties which we spent as housemates in Makati. I found an old entry from October 2007 which said: Since we […]
Rest in Peace, Team Spirit
Ronald breathed his last at 1:30AM. Rommel said he was very happy to be home. And the only word he was able to say is: “Ma.”
Eyebags are Apparently Cool
I unearthed an old picture of me during the time I was sporting a “fob” with bright red ends. That was such a terrible decision that I immediately regretted. I couldn’t stand all the negative attention; I immediately had it dyed black in a few days. 😅 I realized something else, though – oh yeah, […]
Trilogy Time
I was chatting with my friends tonight when Dred said: The episode I mean is called Trilogy Time, hence the title of this blog post. That was actually quite a touching episode in which Ted starts out an optimistic guy who then spirals but eventually the episode ends with a sweet glimpse of the future. […]
The Friends Reunion Trailer Made Me Cry
The Friends Reunion trailer dropped last week and I was surprised at all the feels I got while watching it. Here it is in case you haven’t seen it: https://youtu.be/HRXVQ77ehRQ I think I was emotional because first, they were all so much older compared to the last time I had seen most of them. I […]
