Self-help

"Carve out time, work on your strengths, and be your authentic self,"
said the author with the book on how to grow one's wealth.

"Work on your craft, keep a journal, and see what happens."
I've been doing those, but it hasn't given anything more than what it has taken.

"It's about setting a systematic way of reaching your goals."
Then, what? Follow it and lose all sense of control?

"You can learn more if you take this $250 course."
Will it just reinforce all the things I already know but from a costly source?

"If you follow these steps, success is in your hands."
But what really is success if not clarity with a plan?

"Work hard, hustle harder and you'll get there."
I'll get where? To financial freedom and existential despair?

"Success is a state of mind.
Claim it and it's yours, manifest it all the time."

"The process is more important than the journey."
But with everything I have achieved, why do I still feel lonely?

I am healthy, I am rich, but not as happy as before.
When I already have everything I wanted, I still crave for more.

LSS: Crying Season by UDD

Nothing hurts more than the pain of not given the chance to say goodbye... UDD encapsulates such a journey of emotions around a sensitive topic with Crying Season---a tear-jerker of a track, one of my favorite song from their self-titled album. For context, below is an excerpt from Armi Millare's Facebook page posted on October 21, 2019, explaining the message behind the song. "I know it is midday, totally out of the blue but someone had asked about what Crying Season is all about. It was written for our fallen comrade, the band’s best friend-Sherwin De Guzman, and two other friends who had succumbed to their struggle with mental health. It has been difficult to grasp none of them are here to talk to us about it, but maybe let me try from my end of the spectrum." As someone who had a similar experience, I'll try to break down the lyrics based on my own understanding and from my perspective. Verse 1 Is this the end or beginning? The song starts with a question: Is thi...

LSS: Feelings (Up Dharma Down)

image: last.fm.com I have so many emo times, these are moments of solitude and alone time. Whenever I feel the longing to be alone and lonely I listen to songs that would exude the kind of emotion I want at that particular moment (specifically loneliness and exclusion). Talking about emotional songs, I stumbled upon one by Up Dharma Down. After listening to their latest album “Capacities” I was caught up by one of the songs from the album. Feelings is by far the most creative and emotional English song I’ve heard from UDD. I mean Oo, Tadhana and Indak are my favorite Filipino UDD songs but a song written in English which elicits the same emotions brought by the previous tracks is something, right? The song is well-crafted, with lyrics so poetically poignant you’ll end up pressing the REPEAT button (which I did for so many times). image: kristn.com If the lyrics are already good enough, wait until you’re captivated by Armi’s soothing voice. Her voice has that commandin...
