I do miss working late at night with this view. 

Leoric.

Here’s to the first smoking buddy I made in school. The Peace Centre is our friend. Alright Cafe, always! Thanks for helping me out in a lot of things the past couple months. A cigarette outside my flat must happen again, dear sir! 

P.S.

Look, your hair was still so short in this photograph!

Wherever you are in the world,

Merry Christmas!

“I was drizzle & she was a hurricane”

Singapore, 2010.

Cozy. Singapore, 2010.

This guy was perfectly fine sitting on that tree and ignoring everyone else in the background. He smiled a few times after looking at his hand phone. Maybe it was from special or it could have been a funny joke but I’m leaning towards the first one. I know a heartfelt smile when I see it. My point here is, I do this all the time, too. To be in a room full of people but disconnected from them all. It’s nice sometimes to just sit back and watch people from afar, trying to imagine what’s going on in their heads. Well, I have a lot in my own head right now. I have questions left unanswered and I’d like to leave SOME of it that way. 

Because I know you will never read this, I’m going to take this opportunity to let my sappy feelings run loose. I really have been meaning to ask you a few questions, well, actually, a question. I was wondering if you’d give me a chance or better yet, a bunch of chance cards just like in Monopoly. I’m afraid to ask you because I’m more afraid of the answer you’ll give me. I can’t tell, really. And that’s what gets me. And, generally because I think you’ll say no in the sweetest, nicest way possible. Then I’d have to pick myself up, move on and pretend you never existed. I could ask you or I could just hang in here and enjoy the ride and never find out. So, yeah, end preposterous thinking here.

When I saw this guy up on stage, I couldn’t help but be reminded of someone I know quite well. The resemblance was uncanny.

Yes, I had to look twice.

It’s been a year since the first Daylight! 

Last year, I was running around Makati with one of my good friends, trying to get permits done so we would be able to push through with the first Daylight ever in Salcedo Park. Several hours later, two local government offices and a lot patience, we got the permits. It was done on impulse with only a week’s worth of planning. I still find it quite stupid, really, but it worked!

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this at some point. Cheers to the guys behind all the lovely posters from the very first down to the most recent one! I didn’t even have to explain what I wanted you guys already knew! Love goes out to friends who helped me setup, from finding electric grillers to sound systems to putting up the photos during the last one. (Those pins didn’t blu tac themselves y’know!) But most of all, thank you for showing up, for letting me take your photograph and for hanging around on a lazy saturday afternoon. 

One year down! This feels like a relationship getting quite serious! Haha!
