Okay. It's been close to three weeks as I write this series of essays, but I can only wonder: why only now? I guess it's because I now have the time needed since the past month and these past couple of weeks had been too busy for me to collate and compile all those thoughts that ran into my head for 2023.  

It is safe to say that after three years, the world is really back to its normalcy. In TV lingo, we call it “back to regular programming.” For what its worth, 2023 didn't just had a roller coaster ride – there's also a see-saw and a swing. It was a carousel-like experience. I'm just glad I still manage to get back into writing because after all, who still reads blogs today – at the era when reels and vlogs became the name of the game in content creation?

Well, never say never, as resilient people would tell; so that being said, here is just one of the pieces that contain my sentiments on whatever issue or event I have experienced during 2023.

Marami nang haka-haka nung hapon na yun. Pero tuluyang nakumpira nung gabi. Nagulantang ang lahat, hindi lang sa pamayanan ng GMA, kundi sa pangakalahatan ng media sa Pilipinas. Grabe, ang dami ko nang nabalitaan na namatay ng taon na 'to – lalo na nung buwan ng Agosto. Bakit hindi ka ba naman maululungkot nun, e nawala na nga sila Tina Turner, Bob Barker ilang buwan ang nakararaan, tapos noong Agosto ay magkasunod pang pumanaw sila Terry Funk at Bray Wyatt, at nung kalaunan ng taon naman ay sila Matthew Perry at Ronaldo Valdez, at marami pang iba.
