HomeMade music




it's a sort of a gift.
well maybe not a gift. 
a gift changes ownership.
I just had this tune then I thought of this girl i was crushing on
it wasn't like a conscious effort to make one.

Liham ni Andres Bonifacio kay Oryang

"1897 Mayo 1 Mahal kong Oryang, Mali ka. Hindi kita nakasalubong upang sa dulo ng kalsada, ako ay liliko sa kanan at ikaw sa kaliwa. Sapagkat saan man tayo dalhin ng ating pakikibaka, ikaw lang ang aking itatangi at makailang ulit na ihaharap sa pulang bandila. Hindi tayo nagpalitan ng mga kwento upang sa pinakahuling tuldok ng pangungusap, ang karugtong ay alingawngaw ng katahimikan. Walang pagod kitang aawitan ng imnong pambayan, Oryang. Hindi kailanman ako mauubusan ng salita upang maialay sa iyo bilang mga tula. Maging ang bulong at buntung-hininga’y magpapahayag ng pagsinta sa tulad mong umiibig din sa bansa. Hindi tayo sabay na tumawa, nagkatinginan, at tumawa pa nang mas malakas, upang sa paghupa ng halakhak ay may butil ng luha na mamimintana sa ating mga mata. Loobin man ng Maykapal na pansamantala tayong magkawalay, tandaan mong ang halakhak at sigaw ng ating mga kasamahan ay sa akin rin.

Tokyo Story (1953 - Japan)

I had been putting off this film for a couple years. Mostly because it seemed long. I had tried watching it twice before on separate occasions but the scenes always seemed to drag.

For the first half I didn't quite figure out what the premise was. Is this a story about these two old couples wandering around Tokyo? Or maybe they reminisce about their life while seeing their children? I like it because there's a subtlety to it. Like Life in general, Often we don't realize that this is it; That our daily lives are often mundane with the big moments happening in phases. The biggest draw I would say is that we have a tendency to become so enamored with our own lives that we forget the very people who raised us. That we drift away. It's hard not to feel sad for the grandmother, and for the gran...

2016: Things I Learned

Dreams do not have a chance to be realized if you don't schedule them. Lesson: Schedule them. The past year, the incoming year and all other years do not owe you anything. Lesson: You are merely a visitor in this time and space. You can't treat a person based solely on how they're treating you. AKA. The Golden Rule on steroids. Lesson: Be kind irregardless. I'm not entirely sure how grammar works for triple negatives, the point is be nice anyway. Lesson pt.2: Put your phone down and talk to your date. If you don't take the responsibility in your hands, If you don't fight back on the things you don't like, then who else will? It has to be you. Said a Serbian political activist. Lesson: Revolutions? Nobody's going to do it for you. Both hope and despair are self-fulfilling prophecies. Said two psychologists. Lesson: Choose your destiny wisely. Self-Love is a good thing. Self-awareness is more important. You have to go ...
