Sweet, Sweet February
I. Juan -
One. A silent birthday celebration at the apartment - pizza on one hand and chicken wing on the other. Two. A sore throat after munching on chocolates for days. Three. A post-birthday celebration in Lipa with family - pancit, adobo, ginataang manok, goldilocks and puto cheese. Four. A date that's long overdue and a butterfly bracelet. Five. A zine on valentines day about the person I'm most obsessed with.

II. I Want to Write But
I want to write but there's one draft that's been sitting in my unpublished folder for too long. I want to write but I need (or feel like I need) to watch All About Lily Chou-Chou to maybe draw inspiration. I want to write but I'm hungry and sleepless and I've been overthinking all of this (for over a year now). I want to write but there's so much noise and so much art to look at and so much things to write about.
And when it's time to finally sit down and gather my thoughts, my voice is nowhere to be found.
III. Lily invites you to the ether
I ended up watching All About Lily Chou-Chou and I have no words. I will have to sit this one out, maybe write about it in the future, or just leave my feelings as I felt them once the credits started rolling.
I got up from my chair, cooked pancit canton and just wept.
