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 darating man ay walang kasiguruhan.… Continue reading Stop Over

Hanggang kailan? Hanggang Saan?
Sabi nila kung mahal mo hindi ka mapapagod mahalin, kung mahal mo hindi ka magsasawang intindihin, na kung mahal mo sapat na dahilan na iyon para patawarin sya at bigyan ng pagkakataong magbago, kung mahal mo sapat na dahilan na iyon para piliin mong manatili at ipaglaban ang relasyon na meron kayo. Pero sapat na… Continue reading Hanggang kailan? Hanggang Saan?

Liberating Notes: To all the Good Guys who Couldn’t Pursue
Pursue her- because you can.
Loving a Breadwinner…
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 would have to wait until… Continue reading Loving a Breadwinner…
Kamusta ka?
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 ang mga bawat segundo at… Continue reading Kamusta ka?
Why Do We Always Hurt The One We Love?

I must admit that the pain is still here. I believe they all need time to assure that once I let them go one by one, there’s no way they could find their way back to me. it was a bit funny because the more I protect my heart from the damages, the more it… Continue reading Nothing More (My Built-Up Wall 9 of 9)
Recovering (My Built-Up Wall 8 of 9)
I confronted you about my pain and I never invalidated your heartache as well/ if I go through something, I knew that you too have your own dark alleys to surpass with a brave heart. I was completely trying to find for a shred of sunlight to pass through the cracks of our ‘should’ve-been’s’ and… Continue reading Recovering (My Built-Up Wall 8 of 9)
That’s All (My Built-Up Wall 7 of 9)
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.

Hurt (My Built-Up Wall 6 Of 9)
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.

Haunted (My Built-Up Wall 5 of 9)
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.

Blossomed (My Built-Up Wall 4 of 9)
Our friendship blossomed under the sky of our similarities, interests, and viewpoints about love and life.

I listened… Continue reading Blossomed (My Built-Up Wall 4 of 9)
Stranded (My Built-Up Wall 3 Of 9)
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. But suddenly, someone showed up… Continue reading Stranded (My Built-Up Wall 3 Of 9)
Higher Walls (My built-up wall 2 of 9)
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 the surface. There were times… Continue reading Higher Walls (My built-up wall 2 of 9)
Almost (My built-up wall 1 of 9)
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 myself to sleep with before… Continue reading Almost (My built-up wall 1 of 9)
Vacation Romances Don’t Last
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.

Salamat sa hindi pagpili sa akin
Ikaw ang unang naghatid ng mensahe Ikaw ang unang naghatid ng mga imahe Ikaw ang unang nakaisip ng ating tawagan Ikaw ang unang nakaisip na ako’y tawagan Ikaw ang unang nagbigay ng atensyon Sayo galing lahat ng yon Sayo Ikaw ang unang naghinala Ikaw ang unang nawalan ng tiwala Ikaw ang unang nagsabing baka bigla… Continue reading Salamat sa hindi pagpili sa akin
Alternate Universe
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 be laughing at each other’s… Continue reading Alternate Universe

I asked God
Slowly seeing life and him. When I ask him for patience, he didn’t give me the things I want for me to learn how to wait. When I ask him for strength, he took away the things and people that are not meant in my life for me to learn to stand up and uplift… Continue reading I asked God
