So this morning, my best friend passed away. I lost the Trixie to my Katya. And then, I got into an accident while on the way home on the SLEX. I noticed the full moon. I wouldโve been bantering with my best friend about the full moon and the accident. But he is now gone.
Also, as an aside, I canโt help but think of those who justify this practice and also promote gay rights. I canโt reconcile the idea of supporting gay rights while support this kind of business (that by its practices result in segregration & exclusion within the community).
Re: the new but already infamous wellness spa
Something similar happening in other countries just means thereโs a market for it. Is it good business practice? Maybe. But is it ethical? Something being practiced in other countries does not mean it is right.
That you would have to get the VIP room they are upselling. Does it get the money to roll in? Maybe. But is it okay when someoneโs time and money was indirectly wasted?

One must disabuse oneself of the notion that Enrique Razon Jr. is merely a quintessential scion of the alta sociedad, a benign patriarch of the counting-house. He is, in point of fact, a titan of industry whose fiscal footprint, exceeding a staggering fourteen billion dollars, places him at the very apex of the Philippine plutocracy. To trifle with him is not merely a lapse in judgment; it is an act of spectacular strategic idiocy.
He is not a man driven by petty malevolence, but rather a low-key magnate overseeing a sprawling empire of maritime logistics, vital utilities, and hospitality. As the presiding deity of International Container Terminal Services, Inc., his influence spans the global commons. For a figure of such gravitas, reputation is the ultimate currency, a fundamental asset far more precious than the cold, hard liquidity of one's bank balance.
Consequently, when his character was impugned by the fevered digital machinations of Kiko Barzaga, whose idiosyncratic public persona has earned him the whimsical sobriquet 'Meow Meow', it was no trifling matter. On the ninth of January, 2026, the Honorable Representative saw fit to broadcast scurrilous allegations of congressional bribery, casting Mr. Razon as the 'mastermind' of a legislative kleptocracy. Such accusations are not merely offensive; they are defamatory broadsides launched at a man whose credibility is his bond.
Mr. Razonโs riposte was swift and surgical. Eschewing the ephemeral theater of a press release, he initiated a one hundred million peso cyberlibel suit. To a billionaire, this sum is a mere bagatelle, a drop in an oceanic fortune. The objective is not pecuniary gain, but the vindication of honor.
While the legislator has since retreated into the digital shadows, deleting his posts and pledging to produce evidence, the proverbial die is cast. In the Philippine legal landscape, cyberlibel is a particularly formidable beast, carrying penalties far more draconian than its traditional counterpart. One must understand that the legal threshold for malice does not necessarily hinge on the veracity of the claim, but on the intent to tarnish.
Indeed, Mr. Razon possesses an inexhaustible reservoir of institutional patience and the most formidable legal minds that money can procure. For the tycoon, litigation is a dispassionate procedural exercise; for the legislator, it will be a debilitating, life-consuming quagmire. Regardless of the eventual verdict, the process itself serves as a profound education in the consequences of unbridled loquacity.
The moral of this sorry tale is crystalline: one should refrain from poking the hibernating ursine power of the Philippine elite, especially when that bear sits atop a mountain of gold. One may hold a mandate from the electorate, but in the arena of realpolitik and high-stakes litigation, a 'Meow Meow' remains a mere feline curiosity before the might of a titan.
Welcome, Representative, to the inevitable season of your own undoing.

A former staff, now a content creator, invited me to his wedding today. What stayed with me was not the wedding itself. It was that he remembered to invite me. And that he seemed genuinely excited that I was coming.
There are people who pass through your life briefly and those who carry a small part of it forward with them. You do not always know which will be which. Moments like this make that visible without needing to explain it.
