‘Yung nag-chat ka ng “Hello, kamusta ka na?”
Sagot lang niya, “K lng,” tapos wala na.
Parang project ng gobyerno, may simula,
pero hanggang plano lang pala.

Nakikita mong online, pero walang reply,
parang kalsadang laging “under repair” sa bayan ni Mayor Guy.
Stable naman ang WiFi, pero siya ‘yung nawala,
signal ng feelings, biglang naputol na.

Tatlong buwan nang “Delivered” lang,
ang puso mo, parang budget,
di alam saan napunta nang walang dahilan.
Araw-araw ka pa ring umaasa,
pero aminin mo na… ghosted ka na pala.

"𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐄"

Just like the film Coco reminds us, "All Soul's Day" is more than just a day of mourning - it's a celebration of love that continues beyond life.

As we visit cemeteries and light candles, we keep the memory of our departed loved ones alive, proving that remembrance is the bridge between the living and the dead.

Today, we honor not only their names engraved in stone, but also the stories they left in our hearts. In every song, every prayer, and every flicker of light, we are reminded that to be remembered is to live forever.

“𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐨 - alaala, pagsisisi, o taong hindi mo pa kayang pakawalan?” 💭🕯️

Minsan, ang mga multo ay hindi lamang nakikita sa dilim, kundi nararamdaman sa katahimikan ng gabi at sa bigat ng ating mga iniisip. Maaaring ito’y mga salitang hindi nasabi, pagkakataong hindi nagamit, o damdaming hindi naipahayag.

Sa pag-alala, nawa’y matagpuan natin ang kapayapaang dala ng pagtanggap at pagpapatawad sa kanila at sa ating sarili.

Dahil ang bawat multo na ating makakaharap at maranasan ay nandiyan lang para bigyang layon at aral ang ating buhay.

Sa isang matindi at nakakakabang laban ng 10-ball billiards, nagpasiklab ng clutch play at husay si Rhaye Van Paul Ampordan ng Shadow Isle laban kay Justine Jake Doronila ng Ionia sa Mission Objective Week (MOW) 2025, ika-30 ng Oktubre.

Halos hindi pinawisan si Doronila sa unang dalawang round at nagpakitang-gilas sa galing niyang humawak ng tako. Ngunit pagdating sa ikatlong round, nagsimulang magliyab ang apoy ng Shadow Isle matapos makabawi si Ampordan.

Hindi naman nagpatinag si Doronila at pinatunayan na may ibubuga pa siya nang maagaw ang panalo sa ikaapat na round. Isang puntos na lang at akala ng lahat ay nasa kanyang bulsa na ang laro.

Ngunit sa isang pambihirang pagkakataon, naipanalo ni Ampordan ang sunod na dalawang round dahilan upang maging 3–3 ang iskor, at ramdam na ramdam ang tensyon sa paligid.

Sa pinakahuling round, isang malupit na sargo ang bumasag sa katahimikan at pumasok ang bola 10—tanda ng opisyal na comeback win ng Shadow Isle, 4–3.

Sa isang laban na puno ng gigil, puso, at diskarte at sa dulo, si Ampordan ang naglabas ng tunay na UNO Reverse Card sa mesa.
