Boiling Waters
May darating ngunit panandalian. Nakatagpo ng pansamantalang kapahingahan. Nakakapanibagong kapayapaan, tila kanyang naramdaman. Nag-umpisa sa kumustahan. Hanggang ‘di namalayan may nabuong ugnayan. ‘Di maihahambing na kasiyahan, Sa pagkakataong ito lamang naranansan. ‘Di nagtagal ika’y lumisan. Dumiretso na sa dapat patunguhan. Nakaglitaang ako’y hamak lamang na hintayan. Walang nakalaan, kung may Continue Reading

Pursue her- because you can.
Hey there, my future. Loving me would probably be the most difficult relationship you would ever have to be involved in. Loving me would mean you have to broaden your understanding. Loving me would mean you have to understand that you’re not always the priority. Loving me would mean you Continue Reading
Kamusta ka? Dalawang salita pero lampas ilang libong kasagutan ang nais kong mapakinggan. Sa mahabang maghapon na hindi tayo nagkaroon ng usapan. Nanaisin ko paring tanungin kung ano ang nangyari sa iyo buong araw. Hindi. Hindi ito sa kung ano ang iyong mga ginawa. Ito ay kung paano mo sinuong Continue Reading
Why do we always hurt the one we love? “True love hurts,” a cliché line I always read and heard. But does this justify our decisions and actions when we hurt the one we love? Is it enough to validate the hurt we brought by saying that we just love Continue Reading
Hello 👋 It’s my first time here, first time to publish in BW app. I’m an avid fan of ’em (BW) especially in the podcast on Spotify playlist. I hope this app is good. 🙏

These puddle of confusions drowns me to sleep. I didn’t know how to convince myself that I should accept the fact that I was also part of your confusion. I was part of your questions or something that adds to the pile of your heavy guilt. It was the time Continue Reading
You’re still drowning from the loss of the most important person in your life. You’re still breaking every time a pinch of loneliness visits your dreams and wished you could just turn back the time.

The first few months look like they were here to last. We have so much time to spend with each other although we knew that it was me and you between the screens of our phones. There was distance in between us but we wanted to explore the probabilities of Continue Reading
Our friendship blossomed under the sky of our similarities, interests, and viewpoints about love and life. We knew how to jibe along to the weather until talking to you became the only thing that could make me say it was a day well-spent. We agreed on so many things. You Continue Reading
It took up so much of my years. I was stranded upon my hope that my feet won’t allow me to take me to the wrong places. Nobody came worthy enough to change that. I conditioned my heart that I will never let the wrong ones in again. Never again. Continue Reading
I moved on. It was a bit ironic to move away from a certain area where he never even asked me to stay. I moved on because I had no choice but to admit and accept that he was nothing but just another man who only wanted to remain on Continue Reading
My heart has always been an empty place of people who have unsure commitments —people who see love as nothing but just a trial-and-error. And maybe that’s why I grew so terrified reopening it because the echoes of my heartbreak kept knocking on my door, the sadness that I drunk Continue Reading
Thoughts flowing early in the morning Until very late in the evening. Endless seas of white And blue bubbles and pings. Who thought that you from a different nation Could hold deep conversations.

In an alternate universe, would we be? In an alternate universe, would we be together? Would we be holding each other’s hands and looking into each other’s eyes? Would we be kissing and dancing in the rain? Would we be ticking things off a bucketlist we wrote together? Would we Continue Reading
