Tea & Bonbons: Post-Mortem
http://bonsteaparty.blogspot.com/2010/06/post-mortem.html
Sunday, June 13, 2010. I woke up with my jaw clenched. Amid the morning grogginess, there was a pervading anxiety that kept me staring blankly. I had a nightmare. Interestingly, even my silent and brooding brother took part in it all. We were amicable when I approached him with my concern. He offered me advice and asked that I check what was underneath my mattress. My curiosity welcomed it, interested at what things I may have swept underneath the bed through the years. Why are they here? I began to tear...

Rackets of a racketeer. For fresh laundry (yay! For more gym clothes. For a fresh start. For delightfully unexpected calls. For an extra day. For reliving what has happened through photos i posted very late. For sweet tapa. seriously. For new friends with the same humor. For old movies. as in really old. For family holiday time. For old friends that i hardly see but have seen over the holidays. For all my gifts! For being able to give. For realizing that i have so much. more than i know i have, even.

Tea & Bonbons: The Lion Awakens
http://bonsteaparty.blogspot.com/2012/01/lion-awakens.html
Sunday, January 15, 2012. Perhaps I didn’t have enough sleep that day or I was ravenously hungry, but it was that day when the office became a battlefield. The activities in the office began to pile up that morning. I was focused on multi-tasking, challenging myself to get things done before I went off to lunch. There were emails that needed replying to, phone calls that needed answering, and a bevy of walk-in clients needing attention. Still, the tasks had to be accomplished. I had to carry on. Sounds l...

Tea & Bonbons: May 2009
http://bonsteaparty.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Rising to the Occasion. I began recounting how dirty I felt, post-tryst. I couldn’t help feeling down as the other issues I thought I sorted out already began rushing in. I felt uglier than usual, smaller and insignificant. All these exacerbated by the duo in front of me, quickly hitting it off, as I could tell through their furtive glances and guarded movements. A brewing future relationship? As always, I got to the sanctuary of my unit alone. I got my mail and opened my phone...

Tea & Bonbons: March 2010
http://bonsteaparty.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Laundry Day (a.k.a. "F*CK YOU"). It all exhausted and infuriated me. I can only imagine what it did to my friends, who seemed patient and courteous enough not to roll their eyes at me whenever I would rant. Your cowardice and cruelty couldn’t have been any clearer. No Unfair, yes. I’d like to think tragedies are made of more honorable stuff. In some ways, we validate our unkindness with stories of our brokenness but it never constitutes cruelty. Good luck. Goodbye.

Tea & Bonbons: The Lion Awakens III
http://bonsteaparty.blogspot.com/2012/02/lion-awakens-iii.html
Thursday, February 2, 2012. The Lion Awakens III. I felt my strength drain away from me, but I realized that the only way to get rid of her was to continue hitting her with the hard truth. “Alright then… Here’s another: you seem to have a reason or excuse for everything—for things you don’t know, for things you didn’t get to do, for the mistakes you’ve done.”. Avoiding her gaze, I roared, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore! Your smug face is pissing me off! 8220; Dalawa lang nga tayo dito sa. You know,...

201009.28 @ 20:08. Rackets of a racketeer. On 2010.09.28 at 20:08. Twinkle playing plants vs. zombies. This is pkf's fault. after she blogged about wanting a camera, my urge suddenly got restored. Just found out about this blog, uncrate.com. Look what i found. That's me, stunned. i swear im such a sucker for anything retro. LOOK AT. THAT. I didn't even bother to check the price on this one. might be too painful. But really, look at that gorgeous thing! Oh well, back to work. At 2010-09-28 15:06 (UTC).

Tea & Bonbons: January 2010
http://bonsteaparty.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. Beneath their hushed conversations, I could hear the word “DJ” followed by mocking beat effects, actions aping my shaved head, their eyes bright and wide with ridicule. One of them even tried inconspicuously closing in from behind me to get a closer look at my shining glory, the others prodding him on. My heart beat quickly, my temples began to hurt, and the tips of my ears felt sickly warm. I had the devil and angel on each shoulder; one telling me to make my imagined movie...

thinking aloud: December 2011
http://jonelski.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Rackets of a racketeer. My 2011 in a nutshell. 2011 was the year when:. I sang at ccp again with some of the most awesome asian folks one will ever meet. I started hitting the gym and got hooked! I celebrated 30 wonderful years of being alive. I zoomed to baguio for a refreshing and energizing break masked in a beautiful union of souls. also got to know some friends better during this trip. Fortunately, they all were also good photographers so our photos were fantastic! I gained a new sister :). I reconn...
