Traffic News

Traffic News The stories that make you stop and the stories that make you go. Through my Minsan Okay Lang Ma-traffic blog, I keep repeating, “Pinalalaya ako ng pagsusulat.

It all started from the dream of making the most out of my passion in writing: to write when I’m happy, to write when I’m sad, to write when nothing could go wrong, to write when everything’s falling apart, to write while rushing as the green light shines, to write when it’s red light’s turn to make everything stop, and simply to write no matter where I am in life. From literature to news writing, be it fiction or 100 percent real, I always go back to what compels me from the very start: to write with a purpose, to write for other souls. Sana palayain ka rin ng pagbabasa.” And here I am, trying to free souls again amid all the uncertainties of time; through literature, information, entertainment, and events from around the world. Here’s Traffic Digest, bringing you the stories that make you stop (literature, which make you sit back, relax, feel, and reflect)—and the stories that make you go (news that informs, entertains, and inspires you make a change or take a stand).

T-SHIRT NA MAY ₱1,000 QR CODE

Umani ng iba't ibang reaksyon ang T-shirt na may QR code na ibinebenta ni Rovelyn Baterbonia, ina ng nasawing student-athlete na si Rene Baterbonia.

Para sa ilang social media users, panahon na para pagpahingahin si Rene at hindi dapat manatiling “breadwinner pa rin kahit wala na”.

Samantala, suportado naman ito ng iba na nagsasabing magastos ang patuloy na pakikipaglaban ng mga Baterbonia para sa hustisya kaya kailangan nila ng financial support.

Hindi ko maintindihan.

Sabi mo, noon pa man ay siya lamang ang gusto mong magisnan sa bawat umaga at huling makita sa bawat pagpikit ng iyong mga mata.

Ngunit sa bawat tagumpay, sa bawat pighati, ako ang una mong hinahanap at pangalan ko ang una mong binabanggit.

Paanong ako ang una mong naiisip sa lahat ng mahahalagang yugto, pero hindi kailanman naging sagot ang pangalan ko sa tuwing may nagtatanong kung sino ang mahal mo?

Ang nakakatakot sa pag-iisa ay ang katotohanan na puwede mong sabihin sa sarili mo paulit-ulit na “may darating”, na “hindi naman siguro laging ganito”, na “may seven billion people sa mundo”—pero hindi nito palaging maiaalis sa iyo ang malungkot na posibilidad na maaari ring wala talagang dumating, na manatiling ganiyan palagi, na sa dami ng tao sa mundo ay wala man lang kahit isa na makikipaglaban para makasama ka.

Hindi lahat ng walang kapareha ay malungkot pero hindi rin lahat ng walang kapareha ay mag-isa dahil gusto nila.

May naghihintay sa true love.

May nanggaling sa masalimuot na “right love at the wrong time”.

May nagmamahal ng taong hindi puwedeng maging kanya kailanman.

May na-trauma na sa pag-ibig.

May gabi-gabi kung magdasal—at hindi pare-pareho ang nadarama sa tuwing nananalangin sa Maykapal. Minsan, hopeful. Minsan, galit na. Minsan, kinukuwestiyon na ang pananampalataya.

As we get older, lalo natin nakikita ang kalakaran ng pag-ibig, sa sarili man nating buhay o sa iba. William Thacker was right when he said this in Notting Hill, “To find someone you actually love who'll love you, the chances are always minuscule.” ‘Cos some people wait forever to find “the one”, only to find themselves alone forever.

One of the biggest takeaways dapat while watching Alden Richards’ “breakdown” in that Gandang Gabi Vice episode is we have to be kinder sa mga taong mag-isa, especially kung hindi naman natin alam ang dahilan ng pag-iisa.

Hindi ‘yong magtatanong pa paulit-ulit kung bakit single pa rin.

Hindi ‘yong ipe-pressure sila na maghanap.

Hindi ‘yong bubuo pa ng theories kung bakit hindi pa nagse-settle down—like “puro pagpapayaman”, “tumatanda na hindi nagseseryoso”, “inuuna career”, etc.

We saw Alden’s pain but many might have missed the fact na marami pang Alden sa mundo.

Naghahanap.

Nananalig sa pag-ibig.

Nabibigo sa paghahanap.

Binibigo ng pag-ibig na pinaniniwalaang matatagpuan siya or matatagpuan niya.

Kaya kung isa ka sa mga taong nasa “tama” na, maging grateful ka na lang. Do not force anyone—kahit pa ka-age mo—na sabayan ang timeline mo. Hindi dahil nag-work iyong sa iyo e magwo-work din sa iba. 𝑾𝒆'𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅-𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆.

Dahil iyon ang totoo, 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒍𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒔𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒈-𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒂𝒚 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒂𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒌—𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒂 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊, 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒐 𝒊𝒑𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈 𝒔𝒂 𝒊𝒚𝒐 𝒌𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒌𝒂𝒘 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝒐 𝒑𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒐.
