I always go on a 10-km run on Saturday mornings because it
gives me an excuse to laze away the rest of the day. Coming home tired yet elated
from the run, I would take a shower then immediately prepare breakfast--usually, vegetable-stuffed omelet, pandesal,
fruits, and coffee—which I would eat leisurely while watching pundits on CNN debate
the day’s breaking news. A certain sense of schadenfreude
comes to me whenever I watch news reports about what’s happening around the
world. It’s an affirmation that other countries are as fucked-up—or even more
so—than the Philippines. That momentary pleasure would then turn to dismay—why are these things happening—and disgust—why am I watching this shit—that I’d
turn off the TV, seek solace in books, and retreat from the rest of the world.
