We are alive.

 Hi again,


It is worth mentioning that I am alive. And this blog is breathing. And I have travelled by air. Yes, down south. And visited a community that I have first met last 2009.


And needless to say, I got my first leave from work in three years. The timing was off since I was supposed to be the OIC while my boss was also out. But in a miraculous, out of this world force, my 14-day leave was granted. And six days were spent reuniting with friends in BARMM.


IT WAS A JOY. It was reenergizing reconnecting with old ties, talking about life, meeting their spouse and children, talking face to face, and laughing and crying on site and real time with people. 


How have you tried to reintegrate back to the post COVID-19 era?

    1. Hi Jay. It's really been a while. I guess the reason why I'm keeping this is because writing blog allows me to be more introspective in a slower pace compared to other microblogging platform.

      Hope you are doing well.

    2. patuloy lang, paisa isa. maraming ng umalis, naka bitin ang kanilang kwentong buhay sa lugar na ito, misteryosong naglaho. i keep visiting blogs, hoping someone would share an update. kaya natuwa ako na makita kang nag update ulit.

      i'm doing good naman. isa paring mangagawang panlipunan nagsisilbi sa bayan.
