Single & Searching

Merriam-Webster defines “politics” as “the total complex of relations between people living in society”. “Who” are relating? “Who” are living? "Who” are the actors in the play we call the Philippine context?  

Deadlines na ba ang napapanaginipan mo? Matagal ka nabang may nakahanda na "draft" resignation letter, "just in case"? Mukha bang mas mahal mo ang trabaho mo kaysa mga mahal mo sa buhay? Kaysa sarili mo? (Have you started dreaming about your deadlines? Has your "draft" resignation letter been ready—all this time—"just in case"? Is it starting to appear like you love your work more than you are working for the ones you love? More than you love yourself?) 

In Single & Searching (For Work-Life Balance), we unpack the struggles of working to make ends meet while making sure our lives and loves do not meet their ends in the process as young professionals faced with the same dilemma.

This pandemic leaving most of us with a lot more free time than we know what to do with is no surprise; but were you surprised by what you decided to do with all of that time? Were you busy trying to be productive? Or were you the opposite? Did you end up finding fun or frustration?

In Single & Searching (For A Hobby), we unpack one of the actual reasons we started this podcast in the first place—the search for something to do since we are all stuck at home.

When you search for closure, what exactly are you searching for? Is it possible to forgive even if you haven't forgotten? Could there be love after the hurt? 

In Single & Searching (For Closure), we struggle to open something that most of us prefer to keep closed. Since we have all loved (and lost) in some way, we explore the experience of forgiving, forgetting, and moving forward.

Minsan scary. Minsan exciting. Kadalasan bittersweet. (Sometimes, scary. Other times, exciting. Oftentimes, bittersweet.)

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! Pero teka, maligaya nga ba? Malaya natin yang pag-uusapan!

In this special Independence Day episode: Single & Searching (For Freedom) we commemorate the declaration of Philippine Independence as we try to unpack freedom from the point of view of three millennials who became friends through volunteer work.

What does it mean to search for home? Do you come home to run away from something or are you doing it for yourself? Were you born into a home or did you have to find it somewhere else? Can you create home while living so far away?

In Single & Searching (For Home), we try to unpack what home means to a person coming home after years of being away, a queer person in search of safe spaces, & an overseas Filipino worker.

Akala niyo porket ganito ang title, love lang ang paguusapan? Hindi ah! To find out more, we are dropping our first episode soon! In the meantime, if you’re searching... we are single!
