Hi, I'm Mr. Hugot

Some people have recently labeled me "Mr. Hugot" for habitually posting deep-rooted statements on social media. Sometimes, I express things naturally. Well, I feel optimistic about that, and I accept the title. Who wouldn't want to be Mr. Hugot?

I am here not to fight against Mr. Suave, Mr. Pogi, or Mr. Bae. They have been there once in a while, so I just want to respect their existence and leave them with their popularity. After all, I am just an ordinary person with a big heart.

So what does "hugot" mean?

According to someone from the Net, "the term 'hugot' is a Filipino word which means to draw or to pull out. The usage of the hashtag “#hugot” became popular not so long ago and is usually used along with song lyrics, a quote, etc. that the person tweeting relates to; “#hugot” means the accompanying words draw emotions out of him.

I will not disagree. But where in the world do I get my hugot lines?

Basically, I just share what I think and what I feel about something. There are no deep-seating subliminal messages on my posts. Contrary, people find it deep because they can relate. They can see the connections and vivid images and even feel the words literally for its power to  unravel reality.

I owe my hugot lines from my past relationships, successes and defeats, decisions, and unforgettable experiences that made a dwelling place in my simple mind.  The stories of people around me and even the world of fiction have influenced my views and lenses.

In the end, I believe all of us can be Mr. Hugot. Let's continue to share our thoughts and reflections about our lives, so we can inspire people to ponder and make the right choice.
