Almost a year ago today, we met through an incident and you were my “savior” and “security.” Big words that clouded my mind, as the days and months passed by overwhelmed with your love, care, and support. Although from the start, I knew you have all the red flags that Continue Reading

Shattered Glass
Maybe it’s for the best that we never settle for less. The amount of time we spend together will not tell if we last forever. It may fade over a night or lose in just one snap. We cannot tell what will happen tomorrow. I tried to hold back Continue Reading
Salamat sa Iyo
Salamat sa mga alaala. Salamat sa mga panahon na ninais mo akong makita. Salamat sa mga pag uusap na makabuluhan. Salamat sa mga oras na iyong ipinahiram. Salamat sa pakikinig. Salamat din at ako ay iyong napakilig. Salamat at ang lahat na ito ay natapos din. Salamat at ang lahat Continue Reading
Your Existence Alone
Dearest Y, I sincerely apologize for my five years of infatuation and persistency that made you uncomfortable. You might not know this but your existence alone played a big part of where and who I am now, thank you so much for that. You and your achievements were my motivation Continue Reading
Dear heart
Dear heart, Alam ko kung gaano kabigat ang dinadala mo ngayon. Ang hirap masanay sa mga bagay na panandalian lang pala. Ang sakit iwanan ng biglaan. Sana pwede ibalik ang nakaraan at magwarning sa sarili. Alam kong dumadating na sa punto na napapadasal ka nalang na sana pwede mong i-skip Continue Reading
NATAGPUAN KITA
Natagpuan kita, sa tagpuan na walang kasiguraduhan, Nagbabakasakali na magkatagpo ang ating nararamdaman, Nagdarasal na tayo ang pinagtagpo ng maykapal, Kaso parang ang kapal, inaasam na makasama ka ng matagal, Habang ikaw ay iba ang dinarasal. Natagpuan kita, sa hindi ko inaasahang pagkakataon, Nagkataon na iba ang hangarin ko noon, Continue Reading
Someday
Someday let’s do the things we planned to.. Watch you play basketball while I cheer for you on the bleachers; Watch you play the guitar while I sing you a song just like how you used to tease me with all your favorite classic songs– volumes up, together singing Continue Reading
“friEnd”
Sometimes I’ve been thinking of those “what ifs” that could possibly happen when you came to my life. What if we still go out together? what if I let my world revolve around you? what if I fell inlove with you? Continue Reading
Kaibigan Lang
Ayoko na. Mga katagang kayhirap bitawan, kahit alam mong wala ng patutunguhan di bale ng sarili ay nililinlang sa pagmamahal na walang kasiguraduhan. Kailan ka hihinto sa kahibangang bumabalot sayo? kahit alam mong hindi ka nya gusto; Pilit ka parin nagsusumamo wag lang siya mawala sa piling mo. Durog na Continue Reading
Pagbati Sa Mga Dating Kaibigan
May dalawang klase ng kaibigan meron ako. Kung hindi ka nila uutangan, bebentahan ka naman nila. Pero bago ka nila bentahan, kukuwentuhan ka nila ng pagkahaba-haba —yun pasasakitin ang tyan mo sa kakatawa hanggang sa gagawin na nila pinaka-motibo nila. Sa isang banda, bago ka man utangan, ikukwento nila sa Continue Reading
Until God Says “Yes”
I’ve been truly happy. We immerse ourselves in every moment. In moments that we end up falling asleep due to long conversations and laughter, although sometimes they do not make any sense. In moments that we make fun of each other without offence and reply with a stronger comeback. In Continue Reading
I wish I had a double-me
I wish I had a double-me to hug myself right now.I’ve been through a lot lately, and I’m exhausted. I forgot to prioritize myself in order to give a hand to people in need. I’d like to take a moment to breathe and relax. If I do that, I’m a Continue Reading
“You do not deserve that bare minimum treatment.”
“You do not deserve that bare minimum treatment.” That’s what I used to tell my friends because I didn’t want them to feel unworthy. They had no idea I was putting up with this kind of treatment just to keep the one I loved. Isn’t that stupid? I suppose it’s Continue Reading
The silent and unexplained goodbyes are the most painful.
I never imagined I’d reach this point where I was once again left unprepared by someone. We’ve been hanging out a lot; we go to places I’ve never been to. We used to spend a lot of time talking over coffee. We began to memorize our favorites, including our coffee Continue Reading
Stalemate
I cannot tell her about it, all I can do is to look into her eyes A voice is shouting from within me, but letting her know is unwise I can show her a friendly smile, Continue Reading
Paglisan
Nararamdaman ko ang nalalapit ko ng paglisan Eto na ba ang katapusan? Paanong ang walang hanggan ay umabot sa dulo? Ang pangarap na sabay nating tinitingala ay ako na lang ang mag-isang aabot Sa aking paglisan sana ay iyong maramdaman ang pangungulila sa ating dalawa Labis na kalungkutan Continue Reading
NON EXCLUSIVE
Would you ever date a guy who ask for non exclusivity but consistently sees you everytime.
Is long courtship a proof that he’s the one?
So here goes, he courted me for 4 years, we were in a relationship for 7 years, so technically, we’ve been together 12 years before the break up. We started soft, I mean, tago muna sa aprents coz I have to pass the board exams, nursing kasi ako. Eventually, all Continue Reading

To Someone That I Used to Know

Stop Over
May darating ngunit panandalian. Nakatagpo ng pansamantalang kapahingahan. Nakakapanibagong kapayapaan, tila kanyang naramdaman. Nag-umpisa sa kumustahan. Hanggang ‘di namalayan may nabuong ugnayan. ‘Di maihahambing na kasiyahan, Sa pagkakataong ito lamang naranansan. ‘Di nagtagal ika’y lumisan. Dumiretso na sa dapat patunguhan. Nakaglitaang ako’y hamak lamang na hintayan. Walang nakalaan, kung may Continue Reading
Hanggang kailan? Hanggang Saan?
Sabi nila kung mahal mo hindi ka mapapagod mahalin, kung mahal mo hindi ka magsasawang intindihin, na kung mahal mo sapat na dahilan na iyon para patawarin sya at bigyan ng pagkakataong magbago, kung mahal mo sapat na dahilan na iyon para piliin mong manatili at ipaglaban ang relasyon na Continue Reading
A simple sentiment in life
For the things that happened, either good or bad, accept. Acceptance is acknowledging that things happened for a reason with purpose. Things are done and we have the chance to build on the things that are happening, where we are currently living, which are the most important. To be Continue Reading
Rainy day blues no. 1
Why are we still here? Why are we still hiding our deepest and saddest emotions? Why do we still we fight, despite getting weakened down to our cores? Why do we still get up despite getting swallowed by our nightmares? Why do we still go on, yet we ourselves are Continue Reading

Liberating Notes: To all the Good Guys who Couldn’t Pursue
Pursue her- because you can.
Thank You For Protecting Me From the Love You Cannot Offer
To the Musician I cannot love, I have never confessed the real feeling that I have felt for you because of its uncertainty. Knowing also that it’s not proper for a girl to do such first. However holding back those feelings for years felt so unreal. I started to confront Continue Reading
Loving a Breadwinner…
Hey there, my future. Loving me would probably be the most difficult relationship you would ever have to be involved in. Loving me would mean you have to broaden your understanding. Loving me would mean you have to understand that you’re not always the priority. Loving me would mean you Continue Reading
