day 23-30 // 30doi

some days i need help summoning my inner strength, and in those times, one of my favorite poets to turn to is Maya Angelou, so i made myself this wallpaper as a reminder to not give up every time i look at my phone.

this week i was supposed to do a trial run of my fresh start challenge but i'm not sure if it's the amount of life admin stuff i needed to catch up on (istg it makes me feel soooo much less like a mess and much less awful about myself now that i've dealt with those tasks), all the movement i wanted to get in this week (i just felt so physically off these past few weeks), or if i was just procrastinating more (i did watch a lot of youtube this week despite removing the app from my phone...some of it while exercising tho!) that made it a struggle to get more than 4h of studying in each day (sometimes even getting to 4h was a struggle 😪). so...idk if this whole 6h of studying / day thing will work but perhaps now that i'll be officially back to school next week, i will feel more compelled to focus on that rather than other things...(for better or for worse 😅)

🌼 study stats (50/10-15):

M: 🌼🌼🌼🌼 T: 🌼🌼🌼🌼 W: 🌼🌼🌼🌼 Th/F: did not feel like counting, but i did study

📰 media on my mind:

one in 10 premature births linked to plastic chemicals

the secret to lasting love might just be knowing how to fight

care school for men (istg THIS needs to be all over the world to equalize the gender gap in domestic work 👏🏻)

you're not a mess: how to journal to *ace* 2024 (can't wait for her video on her bujo setup if/when she makes one! i've been feeling a bit stuck with mine lately and been needing some inspo to...idk, have a system that calms rather than stresses me bc i feel like i just end up making very unrealistic plans no matter what planning method i use 😅)

diaries: schumann (tiffany poon's new album!!! 😍)

clementine - halsey (🎶 i don't need anyone, i just need everyone and then some 🎶)

Araw-araw na midnight thoughts

Mag-aalas dos na ng madaling araw at sumagi na naman sa isip ko ang mga bagay na lagi kong pinag-iisipan. Ang kinaibahan ‘lang ay ngayon, nakapag-ipon na ako ng lakas ng loob na buksan ang MS Word at sinimulan ko nang mag type ng mga bagay na maaari kong ilagay sa awtput kong flash fiction na mahigit dalawang linggo nang late sa google classroom (hehe sorry sir sobrang stressful ng dumaan na dalawang buwan, ayaw ko naman magpa-awa kasi sa nababasa ko online eh parang normal lang naman). Pero wala ganon talaga; mahirap magsulat kung wala kang maisip na sulatin, at mas mahirap magpumilit na may susulatin ka kung wala naman talaga. Ewan ko ba. Basta ngayong gabi (o umaga) magsusulat na ‘ko para may masimulan na, pasko na rin sa isang araw at bukas ay noche buena na.

Ramdam na ang lamig ng huling buwan ng taon. Ambilis ng pagdaan ng oras. Hindi pa rin nag si-sink in sa akin na patapos na ang taong 2020. Ang lamig ng nakaraang taon na umihip hanggang nitong Pebrero pa rin ang kinikilala ng mga nakataas kong balahibo. Ilang buwan na ‘lang magma-Marso na ulit. Pero bago ‘yan, ayaw kong paabutin ng bagong taon ang mga nakabinbin kong gawain na inilatag ko sanang tapusin ngayong Christmas break (na parang hindi naman talaga sa dami pala ng requirements sa mga module na binigay samin, pinili ko na ang mag-online para walang modules pero wala talaga sigurong kawala). Hindi ko rin ramdam na magpapasko na (sa isang araw na sya bes LOL) kahit parang namumukod-tanging puno ng pailaw ang eskinita namin. Kala mo nagusap-usap na may prize ang may pinakamakulay na mga pasabit sa gate. ‘Nung tinanong ko si mama kung may balak ba siyang tapatan yung pailaw ng front-runner sa contest na kapitbahay naming katapat, sabi niya wala naman; mas mahal pa nga raw gastos namin sa nag-iisang may ilaw na parol na nakasabit sa gate namin, di gaano maliwanag kumpara sa bahay sa harap namin pero ok na. Napagisip-isip ko, grabe ah ang elitista ng dating ng sagot ng nanay ko. Na-realize ko rin kalaunan na baka ako ang elitista kasi nakapagbigay ako ng “argumento” sa kakarampot na impormasyon na mayroon? Ewan, bahala na. Bakit ko ba ‘yan pinag-iisipan eh maraming bagay na mas nangangailangan ng pansin kaysa sa pagtitimbang kung elitist ba ‘yung nanay ko. Medyo paulit-ulit na kaya halos di na natin naeencounter ang ganitong sentimento sa social media pero wala na ata ako halos narinig na good news mula kina Mike Enriquez. Hindi na rin siguro bago na ganito ang mga balita na naririnig at nababasa natin pero parang iba ‘yung dating ngayon? (#GrabeKaNa2020 huhuhu, jk) Ewan. Baka siguro dahil nakakulong lang ako sa bahay simula noong nagquarantine kaya mas napansin ko lang ngayon. Pero grabe pa rin eh, grabe ka na talaga 2020. Syempre hindi nakakatuwa isipin pero parang wala na lang din kung minsan, nakakasanay na. Nakakalungkot isipin na nasasanay na tayo sa mga balita ng pagkamatay—sa mga pagpatay at sa mga kilalang pangalan na nawalan ng buhay. Lagi rin tayong kulelat sa kung anu-anong mga pag-aaral. Nangunguna na lang ata tayo sa mga bagay na tayo ‘lang ang kalahok, pero kung pwede siguro maging number 2 kahit nag-iisa ka lang, baka nagawa na natin noon pa; lagi nating ginoglorify na kulelat tayo eh, kesyo others have it worse o kung ano pa mang palusot. Pwe. Ang mas masahol pa, may mga taong pilit na nagbubulag-bulagan para maprotektahan yung mga iniidolo nilang pangalan sa politika, sana dinilaan niyo na lang pwet ng mga poon niyo, grr. Pero sabi nga, be nice to patients, kahit na minsan sobrang hirap magpigil na manakit; mahirap pero kakayanin. Kagigil. Nakakalungkot din isipin na sobrang kalat na ng sakit na to, kala mo may pandemya na ibang klase ang tama sa Pilipinas eh. Sana kasi hindi ipinagsawalang-bahala. Hirap maging ordinaryong mamamayan, alipin ng tanga.

Sa bawat takatak at klak-klak ng keyboard ko ay parang mas lumalamig ang umiihip na hangin sa mumunti kong bintana. Sa kada salitang nabubuo mula sa pinipindot kong makina ay tila mas dumidilim ang paligid, mas lumalalim ang gabi. Sobrang lalim at dilim pero parang sobrang liwanag naman yata ng buwan. Pero basta gagawin ko ‘to ngayon, feel na feel ko na eh. Nagunat-unat ako nang kaunti para naman magising kahit papano ‘yung diwa ko. Iba ang euphoria mula sa tunog ng ‘di nagagamit na kasukasuan pati sa pakiramdam ng pagdaloy ng dugo lalo na patungo ‘dun sa paa kong pawisan. Sabi ko magpapahangin at hihinga lang ako sandali dahil medyo nangangalay na rin ‘yung likod ko pero pucha di ko namalayan. Tirik na uli ang araw nang muli ko itong masilayan. Mamayang gabi ganito na naman ang eksena. Maya-maya na lang ako uli mag-iisip ng idadagdag sa istorya.

“Thirteen days of riding, the Moon above my only friend.

Time will only tell if a bullet or the rope will be my end.

Got a price upon my head, the same alive or dead!

There ain't no resting for the Wanted Man.

I've killed in anger. I've killed for money, killed for fun.

Don't need your mercy, don't need your prayers to set me free.

You count the things I've done, and heaven ain't no place for me.”

                                                                            – Nick Nolan “Wanted Man”

Stephen crept closer, fingering the Jakobs he’d picked off a dead Bloodshot some months previous. It was a good gun – much better than the clanking pieces of junk his Pa had banged together before being eaten by a skag. It’d been the sound that’d distracted him from the Hodunk girl he’d been trying to sweet-talk into giving him some poon. A loud, heavy, hollow thud, like somebody had dropped a bag of hammers towards the back of the bar.

Whatever had made the sound wasn’t immediately apparent, but Stephen had discovered something much more interesting. A Siren! An ever-lovin’ Siren! Just sitting there on the back of the couch, toying with a little condensed ball of energy floating just above her palm. Stephen wiped his sweaty fingers on his vest. The Siren wasn’t alone. There was a tall, spindly figure leaning against the wall by the door, and another man sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette. Stephen did a double take, then grinned like a shark. Imagine the stupidity of some folks, sittin’ below your own wanted posters.

He stepped closer and drew the Jacobs. Just one of them idiots would set him up for life, let alone all three! He could afford a ticket off this craphole. Hell, he could buy this craphole and Elpis, too! Stephen racked the hammer back with his thumb. 

“Hey!” he declared loudly. “Mighty dumb of y’all, coming in here tonight!”

The man on the couch (Handsome Jack, as per the poster advertising his mug) turned his head to look at him, switching his attention from the CL4P-TP unit twitching and sputtering on the floor to Stephen’s face, then to the Jakobs he was pointing at them. A grin sliced across his face, exposing teeth far too nice for Pandora. 

“You’d better be reeal sure, pumpkin,” he said, lazily taking the cigarette from his mouth. 

There was something in the movement that broadcasted a wordless threat, of hard, square knuckles and a ruthless grip that could, and would, strangle the life from a man – but Stephen had the gun. He scoffed and gestured to it with his free hand, because hello?! He had ‘em dead to rights here! 

Out of the corner of his eye, Stephen noticed the tall man (Zer0, his brain supplied helpfully) slowly tilt his head, causing the overhead string lights to glitter in the reflective surface of his helmet. Now Stephen didn’t know much about most things, but he did know them huge sumbitchin’ snakes that lived up by Sawtooth Cauldron. As poisonous as they were mean, just looking at one screamed danger – and it was the same message that went skittering up his back as the stranger shifted to look at him, a slow, deliberate uncoiling of muscle that set off every alarm there was to set off. 

Stephen swallowed, his tongue suddenly far too big for his mouth. His eyes darted towards the Siren and found her watching him with the corner of her frosted blue lips tilted up in a smirk. She rolled the energy singularity over the backs of her knuckles. They said Sirens could set fire to crap that could not, should not be able to be burn, that with a flick of a finger, they could cram a man’s head up his ass and leave him there to suffocate. And Maya looked as though she was itching for just that kind of entertainment. Pizza and a show. How nice of him to volunteer. 

The Jakobs wobbled uncertainly, slowly at first, then more and more pronounced as their gazes bored into him, waiting for him to make the first move. Come to think of it, these mother-humpers looked exactly like the sort of folk that’d be packing shields. They’d be on him before the first bullet even popped ‘em open. Stephen lowered the gun so quickly he almost shot himself in the foot. Didn’t take a smart man to know when he was about to become a dead man. 

“N-nevermind. Mistook y’all fer somebody else.” 

I REALLY LOVE the atmosphere of this one!
