Tuwing tinatamad at nawawalan ng gana sa buhay, ipinapaalala ko na lang sa sarili ko na wala nga pala akong generational wealth na pwedeng bagsakan. Oras na sumuko ako, tapos na ako.

I’ve been flying to Manila from HK almost every weekend during the past few months to be with my family as my dad battled cancer. His seven-month fight ended today. These were among our last conversations.
I miss you, dad.

12 years ago, when I was young and idealistic and had a full head of hair, I wrote a column for our college paper about how LGBTs should stop treating our identity as a negative trait that should be offset by other qualities (“I am gay BUT...”). And that’s my coming out story. 😅
