I wish I met you six years later

I wish I met you six years later, when I have become more mature and less irrational, less emotional.  Things would’ve been different. I would have made decisions differently.

Papa

“Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon, maibabalik ba ang kahapon…” Munting mga kamay na sa aking mukha’y humahaplos. Mga matang sa aki’y nakatitig habang ako’y natutulog. Yakap na mahigpit na ang katumbas ay langit. Mga ala-alang kailanma’y hindi ko na maibabalik. Masarap balikan ang panahon na ako’y munti pang bata. Mga kahapong ang Continue Reading

NAKIKITA MO BA?

Nakikita mo ba? Nakikita mo ba sa iyong likuran ang aking mga yapak nang ako’y magmakaawang ako’y ‘wag lisanin? Nakikita mo ba ang galit sa aking mukha nang iyong saktan ang aking damdamin? Nakikita mo ba ang aking hinaing nang ang iyong mga pangako’y iyong pakuin? Nakikita mo ba ang Continue Reading

Liham ng Pagpapatawad

Mahigit isang taon na mula ng magtrabaho ako rito sa banyagang bansa, nabalitaan ko mula sa kanya na magbabakasyon ka rito, susubok na makahanap ng trabaho. Nagkita tayo upang magkamustahan. Muling nagkita sa pangalawang pagkakataon, dahilan bilang nabanggit ko lamang na nabitin ako sa kwentuhan natin. Nangako kang sasamahan akong Continue Reading

Accepting Certain Things

Yes, it indeed it very hard to accept things. Even if it happened a long time ago, I am still hurt. In pain. Why? Maybe because I couldn’t feel your sincerity when you said you were sorry. I hope you’re happy with what you are doing right now. I hope Continue Reading

BAKIT NGA BA?

  Tila isang balang sabik nang makawala Ganyan ang mga tanong na sa isip ko’y nagwawala Kung akin nga bang isisiwalat ay iyong masasagot? O magiging dahilan lamang nang mas hindi ko magawang paglimot? Tulirong damdamin ngayo’y ‘di na alam ang gagawin Kahit saan mapunta nakikita’y ikaw pa rin Ang Continue Reading

Why you?

Too many reasons why it shouldn’t be you. Still, I can’t answer why you. Strangers yet feels like connected — This is maybe the reason why I’m easily captivated.   Smiles that I can’t bear to handle — Will always be kept in me as my saddle. Saddle of my Continue Reading

Kumusta Ka?

Ilang beses mo na nga bang tinanong sa mga kamag-anak, kaibigan at iba pang mahal sa buhay, Kumusta ka? – dalawang salitang noo’y parang napaka-casual lang kung itanong ng karamihan. Those words may not even mean anything to some of us before. Mahigit isang taon na mula ng pumutok ang balita Continue Reading

Be unapologetically YOU.

Growing up, I am used to consider other people’s feelings more than my own. Being sensitive is my thing. Overly sensitive that mulling over the words I have said or actions I have done would take days before I get over it. There was a time when I get to Continue Reading

Umuusad na siya, wag mo ng istorbohin

Kaya na niya ngumiti uli. Kaya na niya kumain ng hindi ka tinatanong kung kumain ka na din. Kaya na niya pakinggan uli ang paborito niyong kanta. Kaya na niya uli manood ng anime at hollywood movies na hindi ka kasama. Kaya na niya tanggalin ang napunding ilaw. Kaya na Continue Reading
