One Month

Yalul @yalul070 (1713) • Manila, Philippines 11 Oct 16

My God, I Hate Drugs!

Yalul @yalul070 (1713) • Manila, Philippines 9 Sep 16

This what President Rodrigo Duterte used to say that would normally cause my elitist friends to chuckle in scorn during the early parts of the campaign. Little did they know that his anti-drug platform would make Duterte win. I...

Yalul @yalul070 (1713) • Manila, Philippines 7 Sep 16

Change has come. Even to my personal life. So I did some cleaning of my page here because I intend to use this again to express views that I cannot air in other social media sites. Especially political views. As some of you...

I've got a few minutes to catch my breath. Since I was assigned to my new post, I have been feeling that I have lost total control of my own life. First, my timetable has been totally reversed because we serve a nocturnal boss....

So Where Was I?

Yalul @yalul070 (1713) • Manila, Philippines 9 Jun 16

I don't know. Sometimes, oh okay, most of the time, I don't know what I'm doing. Right now I am having some lucid moments. And I'm not sure if I like it. Because reality bites. The truth hurts. Funny, I want to feel more...

I am very sorry, my friends. I have been remiss in my duties. MyLot duties. As some of you may know, we just had the national elections in the Philippines. We now have a presumptive president in the person of Rodrigo "Rody"...

Sick

Yalul @yalul070 (1713) • Manila, Philippines 6 Apr 16

I'm not at my 100% the past days. I'm sick physically, spiritually and emotionally. Perhaps my spiritual and emotional well-being already affected my physical health. I was hoping that I could recover faster but it's already...

Yalul @yalul070 (1713) • Manila, Philippines 15 Mar 16

I got the idea from @WorDazza, who was inspired by another user to do just that, so that means we got this from that other user. But anyway, since I just finished my tea and I still can't sleep, I might as well do this given my...

In other news, a rare case of bi-paternal twins was discovered in Vietnam. I thought this only happens in the movies. Apparently, the mother's eggs were fertilized by sperms from two different men within the same ovulation...
