Foregoing the essay this year.

Just sharing how 35 looks on me. Chos.

Kidding aside, thankful for all that transpired this year. And to you, who’s reading this, thank you for your friendship. 🙂

I woke up today and was fortunate to bask in 6 AM darkness, an abvious offshoot of the northern hemisphere’s winter solstice. Excited to go to the office for the first time this year, I eagerly prepared and dressed up. I chose a humble white polo to wear today, a deviation from the usual earthy tones I would pick. When I’m all set, I made my way to the office. As soon as I arrived, I went straight to the bathroom to take a leak only to realize that the shirt I so earnestly picked was wrinkled. Before I went out of the bathroom, I psyched myself to thinking that this wrinkled shirt is part of that grandiosity scheme they call “gusot mayaman” and proudly claim that today, I am one of them “gusot mayaman-ers”.

This photo was just from a year ago, relatively recent right? But we’ve all been through a lot since then - a pandemic started, evolving community quarantines, personal and professional uncertainty, or the simple feeling of anxiety. Needless to say, a lot has changed and it things will never be the same again. One thing won’t change though. And that’s the company of people that keeps you keep on during the roughest of times. Let me commemorate last year’s Sinulog and the great people I’ve celebrated with then. #PitSenyor #VitaminCee #Ebas https://www.instagram.com/p/CKIqjL7nXSF/?igshid=1isxtzebxo6f0

Saturdays are best spent reflecting about the week that passed. And the best way to reflect is to ride with the wind while it takes all your stresses away. #VitaminCee (at UP Diliman) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHJHgAH2Ql/?igshid=3bia0954p229

Haven’t had my new year’s essay yet (as if it’s required). But this one took some time writing because I wanted to specially dedicate this one to Orville. 2020 proved to be challenging and tough, having to deal with the pandemic more than the usual hustle and bustle. Things got a little out of hand, enough for it to take a toll on one’s mental and emotional being. Times like these, company, may it be family or friends, can spell the difference. I guess I’ll go by the saying that, “Maghintay ka lang, makakahanap ka rin ng katapat mo.” because I can say siya ang katapat ko. Ironically, we’re like night and day. Anyone who really knows me can attest to how loud I am, which is a far cry to how silent O is. Bathe us with alcohol and you’ll soon realize that the tables have turned and O is the one filling up the room with his voice. I’m on the more kenkoy side and he’s on the more serious one. I’m the morning person and he’s the not-so-morning person (understatement of the century). I can go on and on about how different we are. Or we can just say we fit and be over with it. Nah, just kidding. Orville picked me up when I was a dump. I had no self worth and I felt bad for making a mess of my previous relationship. He put up with my insecurities, long enough for me to realize we’re into something. He’s my anchor. He’s always there to ground me, reminding me that there’s always the earth to fall into when everything comes crushing down. He’s my reality check, always keeping me in touch with life and how it can easily punch you in the gut when you don’t keep yourself in check. But most of all, he’s my light, always there to illuminate my every step when things seem dark and gloomy. We agreed not to give gifts to each other this season. But I cannot let the holidays pass without saying how much he means to me. Baby, we just celebrated out 42nd month together and I wanted to say how much I appreciate you and everything you are to me. Happy new year and I’m always excited to spend every waking day with you. Mahal na mahal kita. #VitaminCee https://www.instagram.com/p/CJjDRgHHtGW/?igshid=1jsrivbbn7avz

Overextended lunch. Verbose conversations. Sudden topic shifts. Always a pleasure to pour our heart and soul in pointless but meaningful chit chat. 😘😘😘😘😘 #VitaminCee (at Nono's, BGC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIu0zH4nDtp/?igshid=qux69nnhe08x

Found this nice Samgyup place along Pasong Tamo. Just the right selection of meats and marinade with a lot of side dishes. :) #VitaminCee (at Baekjeong BBQ) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIk7DtinG-e/?igshid=1ncpmm0ctmhe9

Anu’t-ano pa man ang harapin sa buhay, bawat hakbang ko’y patungo sa iyo. (Minor detail na lang na maliit ang hakbang ko ano? Wala naman sa laki ng hakbang yan, nasa quality. Quality?!?!) #IGersManila #VitaminCee (at Cambinocot, Cebu City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHstY_-nOoV/?igshid=vhes6e01nfzf

Ride. Enjoy the sights. Feel the wind’s might (and resistance, if I may add). But don’t forget to smile. Also, saya ka? #IGersManila #VitaminCee https://www.instagram.com/p/CHnASbWHlca/?igshid=10dt7r2oxlztq
