Madalas siyang bumibisita sa ‘yo, sa tuwing kakatok siya sa pintuan ay agad-agad mo itong bubuksan, hindi ka mag-aalinlangan— malugod mo siyang tatanggapin at pauupuin pa sa malambot na sofa habang dala-dala niya ang mga pasalubong na kakaladkad sa ‘yo pababa, at gustong-gusto mo ‘yon. Kung may masayang umaangat, may Continue Reading

Finally, you committed.
To the one who left and still takes my heart, I met you almost three years ago in school, and we were classmates. We both came from a toxic/cheated-on relationship and met each other’s path. I admire you for being nice and smart, ikaw yung lalaking may pangarap sa buhay, Continue Reading

Pag ASA-ness?
Tanga nga ba akong maituturing? Kung ang nais ko lang naman ay muli kang maging akin? Habang ako’y abalang mangarap na matawag na muli’y akin ka, ikaw namang abalang matawag ng pagmamay ari na ng iba. Abalang pasayahin siya. Abalang alalahanin kung nasaan siya.

“Patawad, Paalam, Salamat”
“Paalam” is letting go of people you wanted to keep in your life. “Patawad” is freeing yourself of the pain from your past.
