Baong Umaga | Puting Bato Trail Ride

Maraming ibig sabihin ang okay lang. Sana hindi ka okay lang. I pray that each of you gets to sleep at night peacefully, gets to say good night and good morning to the people you love, and gets to look forward to tomorrow. But if not, I pray that you're able to take your time and heal.

Lately I've been thinking if the past year has been all for naught. With our cases and fatalities higher than ever, and people close to me are fighting for survival. There are times when Im scared to ask if they're okay, because Im afraid I can't help. Heck I can't even look them in the eye and say it's gonna be alright.

I don't know if it's gonna be okay. But Im gonna be here with you.

Ano, kumusta? Sharing this ride, and my messy train of thoughts bogging me down

Bike & Hangout Spots UP Diliman

UP Diliman bike ride, food trip, and sanity check with friends 

Visited my alma mater to question my life choices as usual. No answers gotten as expected. But shit does time fly. I used to think it drags - yung Monday pa lang tapos antagal pa ng Friday. Tapos pagdilat mo, hala isang dekada na. 

Tahimik at marahan ang pagtanda ng bawat tao. Ngunit biglaan ang pagkamulat natin dito. Hindi na balang araw, kundi bukas, ngayon, o kahapon. Basta mahirap ang tanong, bike ang sagot. 

Comfort or courage. You cant have both, Arlet..
