Dear Diary. Of two things I discovered about the word “indifference” today … first, that its supposed-to-be-plural form indifferences doesn’t exist (well, in most dictionaries and in auto-correct), and second, that it’s not the synonym for similarities. Ohwell, I guess my logophilia is at its climax. Such a wordy fellow.  — A lover of words (always will be), J.

Dear Diary. Okay. I miss these girls so much. Haven’t talked to them thru phone during the break, so I guess that pretty much explains my vibrant enthusiasm to see them again. And BTW, I already posted by 3rd LOOKBOOK outfit this year. I called the installation “Har de Har Har”. Feel free to check it out here. — A hopeless romantic, J.

Dear Diary. Today marks the grand reunion of the “Circle of Friends” after the seemingly long Christmas break. For their first venture in 2012 together … a big-screen horror experience. And guess what movie? Yeah right, Segunda Mano. Creepy. — A horror fanatic, J.

Dear Diary. And so the “Adventures of the Strangers in a Solemn Land” continues. With these four lovely characters, discover the exciting activities that Naawan has to offer. From swimming pools … attractive provincial views … and enormous croc figures. And for the highlight, catch the “Meow, Meow” video to be uploaded soon. So stay tuned! — A proficient “laagan” (always will be), J.

Dear Diary. Due to my sometimes infuriating talent in time management, Mingz and Jeffrey took the risk of waiting. They say “patience is a virtue”. I bet these two somehow believes in it. Lucky for J. HAHA!

Dear Diary. Okay. You can call me a certified “Party Animal” now. This was my first bar-hopping experience for 2012 … with early birds Mingz, Johanna and Jeffrey. I arrived by 10PM in Iligan yesterday. With Jeffrey’s help, we made it just in time for a grand party entrance in V-Mart (as usual). By morning, they helped me carry my stuff to Cove’s, followed by a three-hour sleep, and a decision to go to Naawan today. (Will upload a Naawan expedition pic lateeer!) — Your party animal, J.

Dear Diary. I was never really a fan of farewell moments. As it turned out, I have developed this extreme preference of being the one who leaves, than being the one left behind. But today, leaving home wasn’t that awful. Perhaps I had more important things on my mind. Goodbye, for now, home sweet home.  — Sincerely yours, J.

Dear Diary. I am about to go back to Iligan tomorrow. Of course, I wouldn’t miss the chance of eating the famous Gingoog “kwek-kwek” while I’m still here. I’m considering eating two pieces (or maybe, three), if my stomach can still process everything I just ate.

With Ate Cokecake, Giovanne, Heather, Nico and Abing, I had a really fun dinner at Grahe Sidewalk Grill. So much for BBQs and epic bromance! Gonna miss these guys so much. — With love, J.

Dear Diary. With high hopes of becoming a professional writer someday, I started writing my own book. — Future novelist, J.

Dear Diary. Nine days had passed since Aunt Lilia died. In memorial, we had a little family gathering with really awesome Filipino dishes. Chicken Adobo. Afritada. Pinoy Chicken Curry. Bola-bola. And the fruit salad, hmmm … a satisfying ender. Truly, “wala nang tatalo pa sa lasang Pinoy.” (I didn’t have a picture of the occasion, so I uploaded a different one instead.) 

One of the few reasons why I hate leaving Gingoog is because of this lovely young lady. She has been my constant inspiration, the source of my strength … the encouragement in almost everything I do. Perhaps I shouldn’t look unto the people I will leave behind but look forward unto the people that I’m about to be with again. — Forever and always, J.
