REVISITING THE BLACK HOLE
Sigh, where do I start? Around this time a year ago, I underwent the most turbulent series of days of my whole life. I know, I’m the last person you’d expect to experience something like this. I totally understand the confusion written in your eyes as you’re about to read a recap of basically my [...]
Dating 101
How do I even have the nerve to give an unofficial manual about something I've never even officially experienced in my lifetime? Heck, how do I even talk about something I've failed so miserably in my previous attempts? Welp, after yesterday's heartbreaking piece (click here if y'all wanna cry again), I figured lightening up the [...]
The Perfect Closure
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1QycJQDH0jiIQYi61OuABV?si=jXO8F6fSRgeJ2xmkzyEB4A Here, a lil' sumthin' to make y'all cry while reading. I'll admit, it wasn't easy going after you. All these years of courting, flirting and hangin' out, all for you to just say no to me in the end. The moment I told you how I felt, I knew I didn't have control anymore [...]
THANK U (JAN), NEXT (FEB)
To January, Saying how you were one heck of a month is the understatement of the year. We’ve seen it all from a global landscape. We rumored the possibility of a 3rd worldwide war.

Tao ka din pala, Taal
Minamahal kong Taal, Circa 2009 Kamusta na? Isang linggo na ang nakalipas nang bumuga ka ng abo't lahar na nagpausok sa buong Timog Luzon pati na rin ang kalakhang Maynila. Grabe ka noh? Tao ka din pala. Nagagalit, nalulungkot, pero higit sa lahat, hindi mahulaan. Isip-tao ka talaga. Mas matalino ka pa nga kaysa sa [...]
JaNEWary: New Year, Better Me
Reflections, mini-Rants, Ramblings and Resolutions “New Year, New Me”??? Honestly, it’s time to scrap that cliché and overused phrase when we usher in the New Year. Sure, we have a ton of resolutions, but do we really wanna pull a complete 180 and become totally different persons? Honestly, in my opinion, the title above has [...]
Hello 2020s: To The Decade That Will Be
Dear 2020s, Hello!! iHóla!! Cìao!! Aloha!! Mabuhay!! It’s Day 1 of 3650. Ten years from now, I would have been writing the same blog I wrote last year (2010s post: https://jakedelro.home.blog/2019/12/30/goodbye-2010s-to-the-decade-that-was/). The book is still blank and the state is still clean to say the least. Of course, I can’t write what I have done [...]
Goodbye 2010s: To The Decade That Was
Dear 2010s, Damn, you were one heck of an era for me. I saw myself march the stage three times during these last 10 years. Yep, I graduated thrice this past decade. Just like that, my school life is over. It’s hard to believe that I started the decade as a young chubby 6th grader. [...]
