Nabitin ka na ba? Badtrip diba? Masarap na sana kaso naudlot pa. Bitin na tulog. Bitin na pagkain. Bitin na kanta. Bitin na... Sa pantalon at blusa lang yata bumagay ang bitin. Kung ako ang tatanungin, isang bagay ang hindi p...

God’s will over mine

I am sorry dear but just this time I have to give up the love I feel for you. I have to stop imagining the two of us somewhere out there glorifying His name and crying our hearts out in worship. I have to suppress all my emotions in burstin...

The Love We Deserve

Para saiyo, Aking Mahal..

Mahal ko, Alam kong maaga pa para sulatan ka pero ihahayag ko sayo ang damdamin ko sa araw na ito. Gusto ko lang malaman mo na sa pagdating mo, baka hindi na ako madaling mahalin. Maagang nagpakilala ang buhay sa akin at  marami na ak...

Dear my future husband

I am waiting and serving. I have a lot of things to do. So, please do not come to me if you do not have a "go" signal from God for you will only awaken and distract me. You will only prolong our waiting. Even though at times I am eager t...

Nawa’y sa dulo may ‘tayo’

Hihintayin kita sa kung saan tayo unang nagkita. Magpapatuloy ako sa paglalakbay, pero magiiwan ako ng palantandaan para sa pagbalik mo, hindi ka mahirapang hanapin ako. Hihintayin kita sa araw na napagkasunduan. Gaya ng araw at ng buwan.  ...

To the man who will never be mine

K, Wrong timing, wrong feelings and wrong relationship. And maybe even the idea of us was also wrong. You were my "first in everything" guy, my almost, my sana and my sayang. From the very beginning of. this tragedy I always knew that yo...

Labin' Isang Taon Na Rin Nagsimula ang lahat noong tayo'y nasa elementarya. Siyam na taong gulang ako noon nang ika'y nakilala. Akala ko dun narin magtatapos ang lahat pagkatapos kong lumipat ng paaralan, malayo sa ating nakagisnan, sa i...

Did that make you less ”Jowable”?

The next day you asked this of me. And NO! Certainly not so, surely. Cause all that's left now is how real you are to me. And how God is working on you, still, as much as He is for me. Your smile. Your charm. Your tendenci...

Para Sa Aking Magiging Anak.

Di ko alam kung bakit ako nakakaramdam ng pananabik. Wala ka pa sa tiyan ng magiging mommy mo. At di ko pa din nakikilala ang magiging mommy mo. Kakaibang pakiramdam ang aking nadarama. Ngunit ako'y nasasabik na mahagkan ka. Hindi pa a...

If only you have waited.

I thought letting you wait would be just fine. For saying "YES" when I'm not yet ready would only make it unfair on both sides. I thought letting you wait would make you see that I am not that easy and that I am someone "worth the wait". I...

Maghihintay

Kailan ba yung TAMANG PANAHON? Wala po bang specific date? Month? Year? Kung hindi naman ikaw yung inilaan, bakit di' pa kita mabura-bura, bakit nararamdaman pa kita? Bakit ikaw parin ang itinuturo ng puso ko? Bakit pakiramdam ko, pilit ...

Love is Waiting

We wanna walk it well, we’re waiting because love is waiting. Let’s wait till we’re ready. Let’s wait because waiting is learning. Let’s wait because waiting is a discipline. Let’s wait because perhaps God wants us to wait. Let’s wait becau...

“Someday to the love I haven’t known yet”

I hope you know, I'm still waiting. Though those times may always be interrupted by something or someone, I always end up wondering if i have already meet you or not. Or if you're still out there looking, and searching for parts of me in ev...

Tawad. Laya. Tanggap

Tatanggapin kita kapag napatawad ko na ang sarili ko. Tatanggapin kita kapag malaya na ako mula sa takot at inis na laging kaakibat ng ganitong konsepto ng relasyon. Kapag hindi na lamang puro pagdududa ang makikita mo sa aking mga m...
