Libst Mikh, Sertse?
That was absolutely a beautiful love song. Steven Skybell & Jennifer Babiak sing “Do You Love Me” from Yiddish Fiddler on the Roof Some of the songs in plays sound better in another language. Se parece, I like If I Were A Rich Man in english, while I adore Libst Mikh, Serste (Do you love me?) in yiddish. How about Sunrise, Sunset? Ah! Time to listen.
Coding this website, what a pain in the A. (a rolling post)
May 23, 2021: I’ve always known I wanted site name: “thisweekend” Mainly because I also want to use the contact email: wru@thisweekend But I cannot afford .com for now so we will settle with .fyi. July 10, 2022: Where do I begin? I asked our good friend chantal what framework/host she uses for her newly published website, and she said: September 1, 2022: The need for something.

iOS Notes from 2023
Here we are on the 4th year of the almost poetry series. 2023 02/25 Mga batang tupperware. 02/27 My heart yearns and burns for the undeniably orgasmic guitar solos like that of Jeff Beck’s. 02/28 I think therefore killer guitar solos would be my achilles heel. 02/28 también. Music in headphones—with eyes mindlessly looking at a shadow on the ceiling from a lampshade tucked in the corner of a room—can really teleport you to places.
Breathe, Pero Bisaya
Lamlam gyud ni nga kanta haha in the tune of Breathe by Lin Manuel Miranda (as played in In The Heights). Changed some lines to localize it. I really want to make this play in my hometown haha! Maybe! 🤞🏼 BREATHE 🎙️ (In the Heights, Malaybalay)
The Wedding
So yeah, I got married today, day 364 of the year 2022. I was 36 years, 2 months, and 9 days old. Mateo was 36, 5 months and 4 days old. By then we will have shared as housemates a total of 5 flats together (Pobla, Naranghita, Binjai, Hampshire, Rosséllon) in 4 different cities situated in 3 countries. We will have celebrated 9 of his birthdays together (with the exception of that same year where I was one day late due to a visa hiccup).
Food Favorites in Switzerland
Meals on Planes
I like Emirates the most! 🥫 although Qatar Air’s Business Class is quite something! I think I’ve been taking photos of every meal I’ve ever had since the first time I experienced it. Sometimes I purposely add-on for AirAsia flights because 4 hours from KL usually makes me hungry, and I also kinda need to buy Premium Flex tickets and it usually comes with one meal. Hopefully I can still remember all of the flight details, [bbd] is good at that so I’m not very worried. ;)
Make Lists, My Dudes
STORY TIME! I created this list when we first moved to Barcelona in January 2022. My situation was kind of in a limbo, only had 90 days each Schengen visa and so @bboidagasuan and I decided to really aim for residency to save on time, cost and hassle. But more on that part later. Because the universe oftentimes like to play tricks on you, testing you to the limit that the passport didn’t arrive in time for my supposed one-way ticket🛫.
