In this episode of May Thoughts Ako, pinag-usapan natin yung moment na narealize mo na hindi lahat ng nararamdaman kailangan mo intindihin agad. Hindi lahat ng thought o emotion kailangan gawing task o deadline. Minsan, puwede lang silang dumaan, pumuwesto sa tabi, at tapos na.

We talk about how processing became pressure: feeling like kailangan mo agad i-label, i-fix, or i-decide everything. Even rest felt like something to justify. Pero minsan… okay lang na hindi ka agad magbigay ng clarity.

This episode explores letting thoughts arrive without resolving them. Feeling something without needing a solution. Thinking about someone without messaging them. Remembering without revisiting. Pwede pala silang dumaan lang.

Trusting na darating din yung clarity kapag hindi mo pinipilit kasi parang mas okay yun?

Topics Covered:

• Feeling pressure to process emotions

• Overthinking vs letting go

• Thoughts and feelings that don’t need action

• Trusting clarity comes later

• Emotional patience

In this episode of May Thoughts Ako, pinag-usapan natin yung moment na narealize mo na hindi mo na kailangan i-justify lahat. Yung dati parang automatic response yung magpaliwanag, tapos ngayon… hindi mo na lang ginawa. At okay lang pala.

We talk about why over-explaining became a survival skill. Especially when you’re gay, when you’re different, when sanay kang mag-defend ng choices bago pa itanong. Akala mo dati clarity will earn understanding. Pero minsan, kahit gaano ka ka-clear, hindi pa rin naman nila gets.

This episode explores what happens when you stop filling the silence. When you let people project. When you observe instead of engage. Not passive. Just selective.

May mga bagay ka ring hindi mo na ine-explain ngayon:

• Kung bakit ka nagpapahinga.
• Kung bakit hindi ka mabilis mag-reply.
• Kung bakit umalis ka.
• Kung bakit nanatili ka.

Optional na pala magpaliwanag at ang gaan pala nun.

Topics Covered

• Over-explaining as a survival skill

• Being gay and emotional labor

• Letting misunderstanding exist

• Observation vs engagement

• Choosing when to explain

• Growing quieter in your 20s

This episode is a continuation of Mag-isa Pero Hindi Lonely. Hindi recap, hindi re-explain. More like the next thought that came after acceptance.

• EP 3 was realizing na okay lang mag-isa.
• EP 4 is realizing na dahil dun, mas gumaan pala yung buhay.

We talk about what happens after you stop feeling lonely. Yung hindi ka na nagfo-force ng plans, hindi ka na kailangan ng constant noise, at yung silence hindi na nakakapanic. Tahimik lang siya. At minsan, okay na yun.

May mga bagay ka ring biglang nagustuhan na dati tinatawag mong boring. Staying in. Errands. Walking without headphones. Not filling the silence just because.

Hindi ko rin inexpect na ganito pala yung kalma. Hindi siya goal. Hindi siya decision. Parang results lang siya ng pagiging okay sa sarili mo.

Mas tahimik na at mas masaya pala.

Wala si Mama ngayong Pasko. Miss ko lang siya.

In this Christmas episode of May Thoughts Ako, walang malaking realization o life lesson. Kwento lang ng Pasko na mas tahimik kasi wala yung taong dati nagho-hold ng lahat together. Pwedeng malayo siya, umalis, o wala na. Basta siya yung tinuring mong Mama.

Hindi ito malungkot na episode. Hindi rin masaya.

Ganito lang talaga. 🎄🤍

In this episode of May Thoughts Ako, pinag-usapan natin yung difference ng pagiging mag-isa at pagiging malungkot. Hindi yung aesthetic solitude, hindi rin yung “strong independent” narrative. Just the normal, tahimik kind of alone.

Yung umuuwi ka mag-isa. Kumakain ka mag-isa. Tapos tuloy lang yung araw.

Pinag-usapan din natin kung bakit awkward sa simula yung silence, bakit ang hirap makasama sarili kapag walang distraction, at paano nagiging problema yung pagiging mag-isa kahit okay ka naman.

Hindi ito tungkol sa paglayo sa mga tao. Hindi rin ito tungkol sa pagiging sad.

It’s about realizing na minsan, hindi ka lonely.
Mag-isa ka lang talaga. And okay na yun.

Hindi lahat ng healing may IG reel.

In this episode of May Thoughts Ako, we talk about the kind of healing that doesn’t look good online. The boring kind. The quiet kind. The kind that chooses rest over chaos and peace over performance.

This isn’t about glow-ups or becoming your “best self.” It’s about unlearning the idea that growth has to be impressive, productive, or aesthetic to be real.

If you’re in your 20s and healing feels slow, uneventful, or suspiciously calm, this episode is a reminder that you’re probably doing it right.

This is the first episode of May Thoughts Ako, recorded habang medyo tipsy, medyo reflective, at medyo pagod na mag-react sa mundo. We talk about that quiet realization na hindi ka naman lost. Mas naging mapagmasid ka lang.

We talk about why Christmas doesn’t feel as festive as before, bakit hindi na whole-day event ang pag-mall ngayon kumpara dati, and how growing up in your 20s slowly changes how you experience joy, time, and noise.

We also touch on humor and speaking up when it matters, inspired by Joy Barcoma, Miss Earth Philippines 2025. Not in a preachy way. More like a reminder that being aware doesn’t mean being loud.

This episode sets the tone for the podcast. Hindi ito rant. Hindi rin self-help. Isa lang siyang space para sa mga thoughts na lumalabas kapag tumahimik ka na ng konti… at siguro kapag nakainom ka rin.

Unfiltered.Medyo magulo.Pero totoo.

You’re not lost.You’re just paying more attention now.

Unfortunately, yes.

Here's to praying mapanindigan ko 'to. Catch May Thoughts Ako every Saturdays!

Kailangan ko ba talaga gumawa ng podcast to because I have a lot of unsolicited opinions about life?

Unfortunately, yes.
