    8. Bit #5: Lost Hours
      An excerpt from Jasper F. Amadeo's short story collection entitled "Spiraling Down." This is a quick narrative episode because this specific short story just resonated within me, but not literally though. It just hits home. I did spent those lost hours last year trying to wonder what was really happening between myself and this special woman. This is for you, Kid. I hope you're fine and well wherever you are. You will always be an amazing memory.

    9. Bit #4: Duterte, who?
      DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT ME TRYING TO BUTCHER THE WHOLE MEANING AND PURPOSE OF THE ORIGINAL DECLARATION, BUT RATHER SYNTHESIZING IT TO MODERN TIMES WHERE WE FACE THE SAME STRUGGLE THAT OUR FOREFATHERS HAVE FOUGHT BRAVELY. So this is our Declaration of Independence to Rodrigo Duterte who brings us only problematic solutions. We pledged our allegiance to the state and not to the one sitting at the top of the government. Taken from the original Declaration but with a whole new meaning. Listen and fight!

Also, sorry for some laps and pauses, I have a sore throat. We all have a bad day, but not as bad as what the Philippines is experiencing.
