10/10 — DESERVES ALL THE AWARDS & RECOGNITION.
I’m so glad I saw Atom’s post yesterday.
Because of that, we were able to catch Sunshine on the big screen.

Napakahusay ng pagkakagawa at pag-arte.
Socially relevant in all the right ways.

I cried—because what I saw wasn’t fiction.
They weren’t exaggerations.
They were realities.
And I know that because…

Sunshine’s story and her friend’s?
Typical mealtime kwento from my social worker sister throughout the years she worked in government.
Some scenes, I’ve seen with my own eyes.
Others, I heard from nurse friends during their internship in a lying-in clinic in Manila.

Parang kinopya mula sa buhay ang pelikula.
It felt like all those quiet conversations with my sister and friends were suddenly projected onto the cinema screen.

Yes, the topic is polarizing—teenage pregnancy and abortion.
But maybe that’s the point: TO START A CONVERSATION.

Maris Racal was the perfect choice for the role.
And even the supporting cast—ang gagaling.

Another masterpiece by Antonette Jadaone.

My husband and I can’t wait for it to be streamed online.
Because honestly? It deserves a rewatch.
(Lalo na ako—may mga na-miss akong points sa unang panonood.)

Sharing with you my favorite prayer for our relationship.
I may not be so religious, but I'm a believer.
When God's at the center, it's just easier,
and during hard times, it's more bearable. Keep that faith.🙏🏻
Happy Sunday y'all! ❤️

I saw the Pope’s simple funeral.
So I told my husband that when I die,
I don’t like flowers, give me flowers while I’m living instead.
I told him to choose the cheapest coffin, just upgrade our mattress to an automatic, more ergonomic one instead.
I don’t like to be in a beautiful gown, I would like to be in comfortable pyjamas instead.

I don’t like watches and golds in my caskette, but may be bury many mature seeds with me instead. It might help in the future.

At please, huwag puputulin ang rosaryo. 😅

And to my friends, I don’t mind you not going to my wake when I’m dead. Let’s have coffee while we can still have a conversation instead.

P.S. I am not dying.
And I pray and plan to live long.
But if death comes upon me, I don’t like all the traditions that come with funerals.

Just pray for my soul without having to prepare for a party.
