Gayuma = love potion in" tagalog." More than being a concocted drink or additive, it is also associated with any object that arouses one’s sexual desire towards another person, usually the one who gave or owned the object referred to as gayuma. (my definition)

In the Philippine setting, although accepted as a myth or a superstitious belief, gayuma is still something that most people turn to when it comes to matters of the heart that can’t be solved by courtship or any other means of winning one’s heart. Concocted most of the time from herbs, plant roots, and other stuffs believed to have extra special magical powers, they aren’t hard to find once you know where to look for them (most of the time near prominent churches such as Quiapo church and Baclaran church). Since the early times, its effectiveness, according to its patrons, is proven and will not fail as long as one believes in its mystical properties.

And now, here I am concocting my very own "love potion" in its digital form. Like shamans of time forgotten, I breath magic into my craft hoping it will somehow make Internet people notice at the very least. Carefully, I’m concocting the right mix of mystical ingredients in the form of "content" to my device (blog), slowly but surely learning what is effective and what is a spoiler, what mixes well and what messes up everything when combined. Later, when it becomes a success, who knows what form it will take.
