We did 10 things on why I like you to each other. While writing, and even beginning, I just think that it's so silly of me to even make a list. No words could ever describe and point why I like you. 

 You think I do forget a lot. Well..true, but I remember some things too: I like how you would look at food and movie reels before you sleep, and after you wake up like it's integrated in your routines. I like how you talk with your hands swaying in the air while looking up when you want to remember a quote or a reference. Sometimes I get amazed by your ability to remember verbatim about a quote you will reference again. Did you know that I like it when you get drunk and you don't remember saying you love me and miss me out loud with your friends, you were flapping you hands around to eventually bury in your bed. I like how you tell me when you are in the midst of doing a write-up and you tell me how you're not gonna reply as much so I would know. I like when you make an effort to make your own food and send a cute selfie with it. Some nights, I remember how you go out of your room at night just so you can talk to me properly when we have misunderstandings. 

I like how I can really see you as a baby in the morning and then be the world's greatest writer in the night. When we have tampuhans, (to be honest) I do get scared sometimes, but that's because.. i want to make it with you—and for the first time—you make me want to stay, even through the worst—even when we're both sleepy yet we try to make it peace at 3ams. And when it's over, i remember the whispers of "I love you". 

all i want to say is happy 2 momths :p iwauvu!! ^ ^. more chocopies and turon pics. more vc, more songs to make, write-ups to read, music to be heard, and love to be shared with u! (⁠。⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠。⁠)⁠ノ⁠♡ by @maio.cam

Galingkod ko ron sa usa ka bato diri sa dako nga open green space sa may "McKinley st." di pako sure) Mejo ngitngit gamay ug ang nasa ako atubangan mga taas kaayo ng buildings ug nagapanglibot nga sakyanan. Nagkaon kog turon. Gimingaw nakos turon sa tinuod lang jud.

 Gikan rako nilakaw padung sa may provincial area diri sa bgc duol sa SM Aura. Sa tinuod lang, mejo comforting nga niadto ko. Nakitan nako ang lahi nga side diri sa BGC. Mejo naanad nako gamay nga makakita ug limpyo nga dalan, daghag mga puno tapad langs agianan. Ako tuyo jud didto bitaw kay manigarilyo. Kay lisod makabuhat ana kung naa kos condo kay kaybaw ko nga bawal, nga sama na sad nga wala kahibaw sila ate ug si kuya.

 Pag-adto nako didto, unang nibungad kay mga tao nga nanigarilyo. Ug akong napansin kay naay pana-ug na kurbada deretso sa kato nga agianan. didto nako makit-an ang mga daghang batan-on, sari-sari store, aso sa mga sugbahanan, huot nga espasyo sa mga tao. Mga tao nga busy galakaw kung asa sila padung. Kalat nga basura sa dalan ug mga iro ug iring nga gapuyo. Sa tinuod, gimingaw ko gamay pagkita nako didto. Naay karinderya sa gilid, naay fishbollan tas siomai rice. Panaug jud ang gamay nga dalan. 

Nahuna-hunaan sad ko sa metaphor nga panaug jud ang dalan agi didto. Nga sa tuktok sa mga condo nga balay, naay swimming pool ug limpyo nga higdaanan, naa pud ang mga tao nga naniguro sad sa ilahang kinabuhi diris ubos. Nakitan nako ako kaugalingon sad didto, ako ug akong mga giagian pag college. (di man sad dugay to, mura pug unsa overch). 

 Wa nako milahos ug taman, nituyok rapud ko utro, makita nako ang mga bata nga nipalit ug duwaan nga jackstone ba, sa gilid naay mga naghuot nga pamilya kaganta ug karaoke nga sa ilang gawas pud , lahi pud ug music–hastang kusog pud. naniguro ko ug litrato sa mga iring nga ako maagian. Sa akong ikaduha nga sigarilyo, pabalik ug pagawas, nagtambay ko kadiyot tas nakitan nako ang guard sa condo nga mugreet nako, nakabasketball shirt lang siya. Naniguro kog tagos ako nawng sa ako kalo. Naa puy guard nga mitutok sad akoa. Pagkita nakos gilid, naay karinderya nga luag, kakita sad kog turon. 

Wa nako gud gihuman ang sigarilyo ug nipalit kog turon. by @maio.cam

today i'm so happy bc i finally met one of my close internet moots, ate Nesh. It was just Twice stan twt days when she was in 3rd-year college and i was in grade 11. Our conversations before would be lengthy, and we would keep in touch through birthday greetings and happy new years. 

fast forward, I've graduated college and moved in manila. I went around bgc and posted a story of me being at Fullybooked and ate happened to see it and viola, she actually lives near.🥹

We finally met in person and talked about our lives throughout the years. I felt the immense happiness of having a familiar friend nearby, i feel less lonely now. Honestly, BGC is a really beautiful place, but having no one to hang out with felt meaningless somehow.

 Now I have a reconnected friend and an ate i can relate to twice stuff and life in general too. Thank you ateeee for the libreng food, journal, and the life advices you gave me while we were eating. 

more adventures here and onwards ! by @maio.cam

[ from my phone ] i honestly just wanted to take a walk and naalala ko na nadaanan namin ni ate ang fully booked one time so sabi ko na pupunta talaga ako dun, ket di ko maalam sa pasikot sikot, ang gps ko ay ang aking gut instincts wahaha. Kung saan saan na ako napadpad kanina hanggang nakita ko yung building na maraming stores tas kulay mutard yellow ata, lakad lang ako nang lakad. hanggang nakita ko na ang fully booked. Para akong isang bata na nasa playground. legit i was so happyyy😭 as a province girl who rarely get to see bookshops, i was going insane. I looked around kunwari chill lang pero nabuang na jud. and naabot kos poetry section, and i saw the book "Fragments of Sappho". I picked it and sat down though I was sweating but i managed to flip through everything. i really took my time and roamed around till I had to get home bc i need to do something else. i had so much fun !! by @maio.cam

🌺 flower and the gardener 👩‍🌾

  My gumamela, since when have you bloomed in my garden, swaying your skirt around and showing it to me? You catch your dew at dawn. Every drop of it, you collect and shower on me by the afternoon.

  Since when has it that your beauty swept me off my feet and had me kneeling just to get a kiss of your petal-like cheeks? You sow words well and dance with them while I barely hold mine. And when I do, I want to show them to you, as my heart pounds like I'm holding a bouquet to surprise you.

  I want to be that gardener: to make you feel like you are safe to fully bloom in your own ground. I want to be the way that you have always been to me. Under the moon and sunlights, we've  learned each other's barks and studied each other's roots. I'd love to be your gardener through and through. by @maio.cam

's joys hidden inside her phone case.

i had a conversation with my lover last night. it was about the meaning of keeping things and why do we keep them. Me, I love to keep papers, small tangible things that reminded me of a good memory even when the day seemed painfully mundane. I simply said, "to remember, to have something to look back on." but she presses on the question "why do you have to look back?". She also asks me why do i love to keep things. After eventual digging in my own pot of soil— talking— we eventually come to the root of the idea: we want a witness to our life.

that conversation made me reflect a lot about why do i have this insatiable desire to always want to treasure small trinkets of my life. Small evidences of the memories I had (cause I often forget the details) but holding it would bring back the good feeling that happened with it.

 anyway, i opened my phone case and saw my collection:

1. guitar pick; it was given to me (by gelo during gig rehearsals??)
2. my boarding pass. my tangible ticket to the portal to where I am right now. 
3. claim stub after I returned my toga, i had to pay 50 pesos, god. 
4. zee gave me this cutomized polaroid of my grad pic after the ceremony. i love!!! 
5. grocery shopping with ate reina! we brought wheatbread and lots of food. thank u ate rein and kuya! 
6. stickers given by anding, i love u anding 4ever! ty 4 these! by @maio.cam

I’m starting to think that I’m getting familiar with what change tastes like.

one day, she's sweet like the champorado in my old house on a sunday morning when I was 11. I remember the sunbeam decorating the table as it passed through the translucent window of the sliding door after I just woke up. Somedays she's the soy sauce in my rice when I have nothing left to eat in my boarding house. I could only thank God and still consider myself lucky that I have something to get through the night. Last week, she's the black sambo that my sister brought after the party of my cousin who just turned 18. For all i've known, she was still the 11-year-old kid playing with my sister.

But time doesn't really wait for me to register the fact that the young kids I saw, have grown up. And it made me feel so left behind. Somedays, she's the puto-maya of the night when we visited the wake of my lola. I saw her friends cry at the wake but they never went to the center to take a picture when they were called, that stung my heart somehow.

Two days ago, I rode and went to the airport alone and unassisted, but I ate barbeque with my friends just a few hours before. They carved their time and considered the thought to see me for the last time until who knows when.

After that i was dead-focused on packing and keeping things, it was 11 pm, my brain was fried and tired because I traveled from Isabel to Tac. I planned to stay up until 4pm. I was going insane. I brought Michelle’s graham de leche with me; it became my sense of comfort when my mind was full of confusion and overwhelming feelings about packing and leaving.

Change was the water bottle in my hand 30 mins before I rode the airplane. I was alone, but I've known the love that fed me and gave me a reason to continue satisfying the eternal hunger that resides deeper in my gut. My appetite goes forever. by @maio.cam

My dad was never a fan of being idle. He's always tinkering at the backyard. Either he's cooking, he's building a table, he's gardening and everywhere. I was just going to take a picture of the afternoon light but I ended up taking photos of my father in his element. by @maio.cam
