Some friendships don’t need maintenance.
You disappear into life, meet again years later, and somehow the friendship was quietly intact the whole time.

[Sood Ali @soodali99]

Today’s Hookup culture trades genuine connection for fleeting physical contact. Y’all have become experts at casual sex but novices at emotional intimacy.

It's not "freedom," it's an exhausting, often empty cycle that leaves you lonelier & confused.

Value depth over detachment

If the people stormed the gilded homes of corrupt politicians and shattered their false empires, would fear finally temper their hunger for theft?

Living softly now, but I earned this ease.

So if a few miserable, middle-aged men see my peace as an affront to their own unfulfilled lives… stay mad, I guess 🤭

This comfort was paid for in full.

I will not be bullied out of using the em dash for fear of being accused of using ChatGPT to write.

Nearly two decades since we last crossed paths, I had the chance to return to my old university and reconnect with a respected mentor and a longtime friend. We caught up on life and reflected on the enduring connections formed in a time before iPhones, TikTok, and AI.

We mock the scam farm workers in Cebu’s IT Park like they chose this life. But hunger doesn’t ask for ethics, it asks for survival. The real crime is a system that leaves people no choice. A government that can’t provide work but lets scam farms thrive.

It’s disheartening to consistently see celebrities and dynasties at the top of election survey results. The illusion of choice persists, yet the structure remains unchanged—power circulates within the familiar, not the capable.

Nineteen million functionally illiterate graduates are not merely a failure of the educational system—
they are the result of a system quietly hollowed out by corruption dressed as governance.

Living a soft life now but in 2014, I was renting an apartment where cockroaches gathered like mourners on the walls, and fire ants shot from the showerhead like shrapnel. I’ve known ruin. This peace was not handed to me.

Politics thrives on division, but dialogue doesn’t have to. To disagree is inevitable—to dehumanize is a choice. Speak with conviction, but let kindness disrupt the cycle of contempt.

[Sood Ali @soodali99]

Thinking about the Golden Retriever Boy and Taglishera Girl—and how so many choose hate because it’s easy, a fleeting high. Kindness is harder. It demands introspection, restraint, and the courage to be better.

Happy Valentine’s to all the couples! Especially the ones where the boyfriend is also in my DMs 😂

[Sood Ali @soodali99]

Watching a show on my iPad, half-listening to the TV, mid-conversation with my family, all while eating lunch—my ADHD isn’t multitasking, it’s running a simulation with too many tabs open. ☠️

[Sood Ali @soodali99]

A friendship without mutual effort is just an illusion of connection.

We choose reality. 😌

[Sood Ali @soodali99]

The move from PC to Mac is disorienting at first—a recalibration of muscle memory and logic. Intuitive, yes, but only once you abandon the vocabulary of PC rigidity. 😵‍💫

[Sood Ali @soodali99]

A crumbling apartment stands as both asset and liability—a relic of deferred care.

Renovation costs loom insurmountable, yet neglect deepens the fracture.

How does one rebuild when the weight of investment threatens to bury?

[Sood Ali @soodali99]

Intentionally delaying a reply to a DM isn’t mystery—it’s a performative assertion of control and crafting a perceived social value. Let’s grow up people 🙄

Religious freedom involves the freedom to believe and to not believe. So when you invoke your religious freedom, you should also accept that not everyone is obliged to subscribe to your homophobic doctrines.

[Sood Ali @soodali99]

It's amazing how people with nothing to their name have so much to say about what other people have.
