Here’s To All The Things I’d Like To Thank For 2018

The Beauty of Failing
Our lives are like a battlefield. We fought wars to get where we are now and we keep on fighting to get the greatest victory we ever aimed for. The ugly truth is that not all wars we face will surely be victorious at the end. Accept it, we ...
The in-betweens
Is this all that there is? A question we ask ourselves everytime we encounter a series of events in our life that we think is on repitition. Same problems, same questions, same hole that we got dumped into with the same variables. A que...

Hanggang Balik Tanaw na Lamang
Sa bawat araw na dumaraan tila di ko mapigilan ang magbaliktanaw
Sa mga araw na lumipas
Sa mga panahon na nagdaan
Minsan naluluha
Minsan nagsisisi
Minsan nagpapasalalamat
Minsan puno ng saya
Pinili ko ang mga desisyong ...
Valuing my Values
My values are slowly becoming more apparent. I’m learning what situations to detach myself from.
I’m no longer measuring the success of my happiness from the amount of social events I leave my house for, yet instead I learned to use a metr...
Tinig
Nakatago sa isip.
May munting tinig na bumubulong sa isip.
Tila puso din ay lumalakas sa pag pintig.
May boses na tila nais na sumambit.
Pero teka mayroon nga bang makikinig?
Hang On, You Are One Brave Human Being After All
And I know there are days that you want life to slow down, to stop for a moment, that there are times that you want the world to stop chasing you and let you breathe. There are days that you want to stop all the battles and start living in ...
To You: Who’s Been Doubting Yourself Lately
Lately, whenever I wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror and I don’t like what I see. Messy hair, irregularly-shaped eyebrows, dark circles around my eyes, a war among pimples, acne and white heads. Breakouts after breakouts. Flaws ...

My First
Hi, I’m probably just like you. Wanting to express my truest self. So here I am. This is my first blog.
I’ve been journaling for about a year now. Writing on things that consumes my mind at the time. Old school pen and p...
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...
Friends Don’t Look, Touch and Hear Like This
It was when the universe is half asleep but our conversation sways from our childhood memories and dreams, from how sloppy and messy we looked like way back on our senior years to how our looks changed now that we are working in a corporate...

Noong Sinabi mong Tama na!!

sinubukan kang kalimutan
Natutong magmahal ng iba

29 Years
Turning 30 end of this year. Adulting is indeed hard. As I reminisce with the past 29 years, I can say that I have really lived well. I had a lot of good and bad experiences as well as mistakes, conscious mistakes. My life has been a mixtur...
An Open Letter For The Future Husband: “Are You Already Her Mr. Right?”
Dear Men,
If you are not yet serious in pursuing her don’t let her fall in love with you. Don’t play with her emotions. Emotion is not a word use for playing or tripping. God designed emotion for protection and not for hurt. Remember tha...
Dear “Delayed” Person
Dear “Delayed” Person,
We sometimes validate ourselves through the timeline of this world: graduate by 20, find a job after graduation, full independence by 25, get married before 30 that whenever we are “out of track”, “stuck”, “missed”...
Move to, HINDI Move on.
Dear You,
Tayo'y masaya at nananahimik. Paglipas ng panahon, ako'y sayo't ika'y akin. Ngunit bakit nawala sa ihip ng hangin? Anong nangyari sa atin?
Sabi mo kailangan mo ng pahinga.
Sabi mo kailangan mo ng space.
Sabi mo kailang...

Love is such a powerful decision that can take us by surprise and completely change our lives. Lately, I've found myself falling for someone in a way that I didn't expect. I admire all the good qualities in her - her beauty, positivity, ki...
Patiently loving.
I have finally learned that loving have to be patient in everything,
Because when I started to finally love you, we already have our entire life to spend with.
I have finally learned to expect nothing from what I have given to you.

Set backs to set-up
All of us had our fair share of pain, disappointments, heart breaks, failure, losses and struggles on our journey. I know that none of those things I mentioned gave us a good time right? Experiencing those eventually results to breakdow...
Life Rants
Life Rants
Been drowning for a long time
I can’t feel my own body
Numb and weak
The voice in my head is roaring like a lion
But, no one ever heard.
Been trying to run and escape this chaos
Stuck and ...
Huminga Ka, Lumaban Ka
Minsan, ang pagiging matapang ay hindi pagsagip ng buhay ng iba kapalit ang buhay mo.
Minsan ang pagiging matapang ay ang pagbangon araw araw na kaya mong harapin ang mundo kahit hindi mo gusto. Ang katapangan ay nasa pagsikap mong kumbins...
I like me now
I think I like myself now,
No buts, no ifs and hows.
I used to be more needy,
And now I'm more giddy.
I don't let my guard down,
But now free and left my town.
I'm afraid to fight alone,
Right now standing still as one.
I think I sh...
For Me in the Future
Hey,
First of all, sana tumangkad ka kahit kunti lang - kahit one inch lang, masaya na ako. Sana rin 'di ka na insecure sa flabby arms mo at sa strong muscular thighs of an Igorot. I hope you love your physical body as much as you love y...
Dear Self, embrace who and where you are not.
Dear Self,
How is your heart? 2020 is so heavy, isn’t it?
I know you have set a standard that at a certain time, you should be like this and like that. And probably the path where you are now is not even leading you to where you wanted to...
