An open letter to my ex’s new lover

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 unfrien...

Para kay K

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. Wasak na wasak. 'Yung apat na taon natin nagwakas sa tatlong sali...

Masaya Naman Pala: I Am Free

You Had Me at “Kain Tayo”

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 i...

Paano mag move on… ang isang guro? (guro edition)

  "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 ...

We

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.

To the One who love me the most

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 w...

I thought you were the one, but now you’re gone

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. I f...

An open letter to someone whom almost caused me to lose my self worth

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,...

Two Little Steps

For that Person Who Asked for a Second Try

Bloodshed

Deep cut wounds eventually heals by far, what it left us is a permanent scar

“I just left”

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 ...

Malungkot, pero kakayanin ko

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 kausapi...

Bye My Almost

Instead of sitting someone down to talk about our feelings, we play guessing games. We avoid asking questions about labels because we are worried about coming across as clingy or desperate or controlling. We let the love of our lives get aw...

To my the one that could have been

I stopped visiting your timeline to see if you've posted or shared something about me. When I checked who viewed my facebook stories, it didn't hurt me anymore when your name wasn't there. I stopped talking about you. I never liked the tast...

Closure, Moving On 01
