Confessions of a Breadwinner

It’s hard. I have fallen into this deep pit. I’m stuck. I can’t breathe. I’m done. I don’t wanna do this anymore. I remember when I’d taken the responsibility onto my shoulder. I didn’t know what to do, until now actually, and I was lost. Some days are great, most Continue Reading

Kahit Na

Sa ‘sanlibong mga tanong at pagdududa,Sa kabila ng kanilang pagtataka,Kung paanong pinili natin ang isa’t isaSa kabila ng ating pagkakaiba,Nais kong ipabatid sa iyoNa hawak mo ang puso ko.Marami ang magtataas ng kilay,Sapagkat ang sabi nila’y hindi tayo bagay.Ngunit mali sila,Sapagkat marami kang ipinadama,Na kailanman ay hindi makikitang kanilang mga Continue Reading

Aking sulat para sa taong lumisan

Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan kita iisipin, ngunit gusto ko lang malaman mo na walang araw na dumaan na hindi kita naisip at hiniling na sana masaya at nasa maayos ka na kalagayaan. Ang hirap labanan ng panahon, bawat oras pumapasok ka pa rin sa isipan ko. Marami sana Continue Reading

PIPILIIN

Nasa proseso tayo kung saan muli nating kinikilala ang isa’t isa. Bagamat hindi naman ito ang una nating pagtatangka, subalit sa puntong ito, pinili ko na ang tumaya. Hindi dahil sa wala na akong iba pang pagpipilian pero pinili ko ang piliin ka. Sa unang pagkakataon, gusto kong malaman mo Continue Reading

Takot akong sumugal,muli.

There is this feeling na natatakot akong sumubok muli dahil sa nakaraan. Natatakot akong mag commit sa mga bagay bagay. Natatakot ako sa mga darating na problema. I am sorry pero ang selfish ko sa part na to. Kung alam mo lang kung gaano ko gustong sambitin,ang mga katagang nais Continue Reading

In my dream, you were with me

I woke up today remembering the dream I had last night. You were with me, lying in our stomach. You suddenly asked me… “Was there someone knew about it?” Me replying with “About what?” Then you looked at me saying with low voice. “About us.” I looked at you and Continue Reading

Acceptance, Moving on, and Letting go.

Too Afraid to Trust, Love and Get Hurt.

Mayroon kaming lumang aparador na gamit pa nila papa noong nabubuhay pa ang lola’t lolo. Basag na ang mga salamin ng aparador na yoon dahil sa kalumaan at katandaan. Umiingit na nga kapag bubuksan. Madalas akong maiwan sa bahay noong elementary pa lang ako. Hapon lang lagi ang pasok ko Continue Reading

I fell in love with your kindness, your purity, your wholesomeness. You brought light to my life, so radiant yet so warm and I feel so safe. You moved me and erased all of my negativity that I had been through my existence. Everything is so calm since I met Continue Reading

“Patawad, Paalam, Salamat”

“Paalam” is letting go of people you wanted to keep in your life. “Patawad” is freeing yourself of the pain from your past. I found this tweet [non-verbatim] from Moira dela Torre (a Christian and singer/songwriter whom I really super admire a lot) while scrolling on my Twitter feed a Continue Reading

SA GITNA NG KAWALAN

Nahuli kong muli ang sarili ko ngayong gabi na nalulunod sa mga ideya patungkol sa iyo. Nagkamali ako sa pag-aakalang, wala nang katiting na nararamdaman, ngunit heto ako’t muling napapa-isip, muling nagtataka. Bakit nandito na naman ako sa sitwasyong napagdaanan na? Paano nangyaring hinihintay na naman kita? Paulit-ulit kong ipinaalala Continue Reading

“Siguro-Tayo”

Muli kang nagparamdam kagabi. Sabagay, madali lang naman ang bumati sa sandali na maalala mo. Napansin mo pala, na ang mga nakaraang mensahe ko ay ‘di na katulad nang dati sa kung paano tayo nag-uusap, sabi mo, parang hindi na ako interesado. Mali ka, hindi sa hindi na ako interesado, Continue Reading

Someday Love Will Find Me

Kahapon, Ngayon at Bukas

Kay tagal ko nang naghihintay ng pag-ibig na magpaparamdam sa akin ng tunay na kaligayahan. Yung klase ng pag-ibig na pang-wakas na talaga, hindi yung panandaliang ligaya. Sa panahon ngayon, napakahirap makahanap ng taong mamahalin ka ng tunay at iibigin ka ng walang kapalit. Yun ang pangarap ng marami. Pero Continue Reading
