tu-wis-ter!

reread this from the beginning. with me having experiences inside the labor movement this whole year, it felt much easier to read. i don't even think i'd read the first four chapters properly after rereading it now (there were bits of information in the story that i don't remember reading.) wasn't immersed as i am now. also: god that bathroom imagery of esthappen yako was HOT

"Something lay buried underground. Under grass. Under twenty-three years of June rain. A small forgotten thing. Nothing that the world would miss."

kind of funny and love it that there are paragraphs where it reads like theory (well bcs vuong kind of theorizes, minention pa nga si barthes a couple times)

also nagmeet na ang mga bading (during summer ofc, like cmbyn, aadtsotu, and maybe maurice, summer being their "vac"?)

"Everything good is always somewhere else" iteration ng magiging masaya sa lugar kung saan wala ako quote

what else was intimacy except this license to shred (eme). akala ko feel-good genre lang 'to huhuhu #foodispolitical

Natagpuan sa library ng PUP. Hindi alam kung kelan ulit mababasa hahaha

Nung sinabi niyang “Nakalimutan ko,” ang ibig niyang sabihin ay “Hindi ko na kailangang gawin ito para sa’yo.”
