February, 2018. The day na nagkasalubong tayo; you were going somewhere I cannot even remember, and I was going to a meeting. There’s nothing special on how we crossed our paths that day. Except for one thing: I hugged you for the first time. ‘Di ko rin alam kung bakit Continue Reading

Nagsimula ang lahat sa isang simpleng pang – aasar sakin ng mga kaibigan ko. Isa ka kasing halimbawa ng lalaking kahit sino man ay mapapahanga ang lahat . Ang agwat ng edad natin ay napakalayo ako ay 12 taon gulang ikaw naman ay 19 taon. Noong una nagsimula lang sa Continue Reading
Ang lamig ng gabi nung ika’y umalis. Tulad ng pagpatak ng ulan sa langit, ganun kataas nahulog ang aking sarili. Alam ko na hindi na dapat ako naghabol pero itong puso kong tuliro ay ‘di papipigil. Ayoko na sana, sinubukan kong tumakbo papalauo ngunit pilit pa ring bumabalik sa iyo. Continue Reading
I already have eyes on you before we ended. You we’re part of the list that my ex labeled as “friends”. I keep seeing his Facebook stories filled with your happy face in it. Kissing your cheek the way he used to kiss mine. I unfriended him because its too Continue Reading
Tatlong salita ang nagsimula ng ating kwento. I love you. Pero tatlong salita rin ang tumapos dito. I kissed her. My heart didn’t just break, it shattered. Durog na durog.

Napakasarap pala sa pakiramdam na ang dati kong pinagdaanan eh ngayon akin ng pinagtatawanan. Ilang taon din akong sunod sunoran sa aking nararamdaman na hindi ko mawari kung ano nga ba ang pinag.mulan.

I never liked you back then. So your “Kain Tayo” was not really a big deal for me. I even declined every time. Ngunit isang beses kumain tayo sa Greenwich, naramdaman kong gumaan agad ang loob mo sa akin. Mas nakilala kita. Ang totoong ikaw. Na hindi nakita ng iba. Continue Reading
“Paano ba mag move on?” Sa taong katulad kong hindi lang yun ang kailangang gawin, sa mga taong hindi lang yun ang dapat isipin. Sa taong imbes umiiyak na lang sa mga oras na yun e mas pinipili pang gumawa ng Lesson Plan. Sa taong akala ng iba naka-heart Continue Reading
We dared to dream. We took risks. We climbed mountains. We dived into the oceans. We jumped from cliffs. We run. We fall. We drowned. We crashed. We will rise again.
My heart was crushed. My individuality was tainted. My purity taken. My whole being destroyed. How do you get out of the grave where you were buried alive? How do you breathe when you’re suffocating? How do keep those eyes from watching you? How do you keep your head tall? Continue Reading
I was afraid to fall in love again. But when you came, I gladly took the risk. I used to think that you were just a friend. I knew that it was wrong. I allowed you to enter my fragile heart and create a feeling that I couldn’t get over. Continue Reading
When the first time I met you, honestly I haven’t feel anything at all. You were just a plain someone. I haven’t had any idea about you. My templates were purely blanksheets not until I dug into more details. At first, I found you so nice, even good looking as Continue Reading
Everyday, I take two little steps forward steps going away from you as I slowly pick up the pieces that once belonged to you. Everyday, I try to unlove you to make myself believe again that everything will all get better if I love myself harder. Everyday, I stop hoping Continue Reading
“Kamusta?” You asked after a month of trying to move on. Or have we really tried to move on? After more than a year of our relationship full of ups and downs, we decided to stop fighting. You decided to stop pursuing and I decided to stop hoping. The day Continue Reading

Deep cut wounds eventually heals by far, what it left us is a permanent scar
Gusto kong simulan sa kung paanong ang lahat ay nagtapos, Yung tipong ang malayang ako , sa kalungkutan na ay nakagapos, Hindi dahil sa ikaw ay nawala, kundi dahil sa kung ano ang iyong mga ginagawa. Oo, mga ginagawa mo na hindi ko na ginusto, Ginagawa mo na nagtulak upang Continue Reading
Regret. Emptiness. Pain. Lost. Anguished. YOU. I walked out. I ended things. I was committed into a toxic relationship when you came into my life. I fell in love with you in the wrong time so I didn’t tell you. I ended the relationship to think, so soon as I’m Continue Reading
Sa tuwing nakikita ka, masaya ako. Sa bawat simpleng pag-sulyap sa’yo, nakukumpleto ang araw ko. Talagang ikaw ang aking gusto. Matagal ko nang nalaman ito, pero pilit ko pa ring tinatago. Kailangang pigilan ang sarili na lapitan at kausapin ka. Kailangan kong maging matapang. Maging matapang na ipakita na para Continue Reading

We let the love of our lives get away because we are holding back our emotions, censoring Continue Reading
