ode to wife

she is the reason why i move on
the reason why i still smile
she is my happiness
she is my life

she is the mirror of myself
the one who tells me that i need help
she brings out the best and worse in me
she's the reason for being me

i owe her every bit of what you see
all the best and flaws that i'll ever be
with the ins and out that you don't see
for she's the reason why i'm me

she the one i call home
even the girl behind this poem
the only woman that drives me mad
but she's all the sanity that i'll ever need to have

i promise that all my days i vow
to love her with all ways i know how
with all the things she wants me to be
in love like a man whose, for her, crazy

i'll remind myself those flowers
that i forgot to give her in the past
such will be my token of love for her
which will be proven as the time pass

i wont forget to conjure words
like how i string up music chords
until the last breathe my body makes
until the last words my mouth states

jealousy, i will never let it enter
her thoughts, that until the day of never
for lessons that have been learned still lingers
and haunts me till now, till forever

i know i made faults and mistakes
and some regrets where honor is at stake
some even, to her, devastates
which i'll remember and learn from what she hates

these are mere words, i think, she would say
but i don't intend to stop in just one day
there are more where these came from
and time will prove how this love is strong

On Philippine Constitutional Reform

For years, my country, the Philippines, has lived under a plague of uncertainty, disorientation, and quiet despair. It’s not even dramatic anymore; an undeniable pessimistic prognosis. I’ve witnessed graft, corruption, and bribery so many times across administrations, from Ramos' all the way to Marcos'. To which, the electoral process itself feels less like a democratic ritual and more like a cyclical delusion. Trust eroded not in one catastrophic moment, but in countless small betrayals. If you know what I know, you will not vote either. Yes, I stopped voting from Ramos. Don't ask. Halfway through a PGMN YouTube episode “ The Ultimate Discussion on Constitutional Reform ” hosted by James Deakin, something snapped. I paused the video, sat back, and realized: I’ve heard this same conversation for decades. The panel was articulate, the arguments compelling, and the intentions sincere. They circled around a central thesis: the constitution needs to be changed. And on that, rig...

Be updated and read the previous part here:  Conversations with Grok (Part 1): Introducing Agile Transportation System Me: Since I'm from Manila Philippines, which I'm guessing you already know, starting it in BGC to prove effectiveness and partnering with companies like telecoms(smart and globe) for internet, google for tech and cloud, digital payments(gcash and maya) for fare, the BGC administrator for location and other companies may seem effective Grok : You’re absolutely right—starting a routeless, agile transportation system in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Manila, Philippines, and partnering with heavy hitters like Smart, Globe, Google, GCash, Maya, and the BGC administrator could be a slam dunk for proving effectiveness. BGC’s a perfect testing ground: it’s compact, modern, tech-savvy, and already a hub for innovation. Let’s unpack how this could play out and why it might work. Why BGC Works BGC’s got a lot going for it. It’s a planned urban district with a dense mix o...
