It all started from the dream of making the most out of my passion in writing: to write when I’m happy, to write when I’m sad, to write when nothing could go wrong, to write when everything’s falling apart, to write while rushing as the green light shines, to write when it’s red light’s turn to make everything stop, and simply to write no matter where I am in life.
From literature to news writing, be it fiction or 100 percent real, I always go back to what compels me from the very start: to write with a purpose, to write for other souls.
Through my Minsan Okay Lang Ma-traffic blog, I keep repeating, “Pinalalaya ako ng pagsusulat. Sana palayain ka rin ng pagbabasa.” And here I am, trying to free souls again amid all the uncertainties of time; through literature, information, entertainment, and events from around the world.
Here’s Traffic Digest, bringing you the stories that make you stop (literature, which make you sit back, relax, feel, and reflect)—and the stories that make you go (news that informs, entertains, and inspires you make a change or take a stand).
