Lost Time
We all met someone in our early days that we dreamt of becoming our future. We’ve spent months and years to sharpen and become our perfect selves thinking that it will all be worth it. But dear, life isn’t like that. As we are going through the process of what we called life, we didn’t… Continue reading Lost Time
Find Me
I turned a sad music on and tried to linger into every word, every feeling the artist was manifesting and realized I have somehow drifted away into a state where I could not sympathize anymore. Not that I never knew the kind of pain that’s silently wetting my pillow at midnight, nor pain of letting… Continue reading Find Me
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 of it not. The constant… Continue reading Confessions of a Breadwinner
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 mata.Kahit na sinasabi nila,Isang pagkakamali… Continue reading Kahit Na
Aking sulat para sa taong lumisan

How do you enter a battle unarmored?
It’s really easy to say that you’ve moved on. The real struggle though is when to say that you’re ready to free yourself from the trauma you’ve gotten from your past and start to trust people like new. Sometimes I doubt myself if I would ever be happy again without questioning other people’s ability to… Continue reading How do you enter a battle unarmored?
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.

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.

What about… Continue reading In my dream, you were with me
I Love You From The Bottom of My Hypothalamus
When I glanced at you for the first time, I felt a little jump in my heart. Woah. That was unexpected! I remember briefly how my breathing hitched when I looked at you. It was so… odd.

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 noon, lumuluwas si papa sa… Continue reading Too Afraid to Trust, Love and Get Hurt.

You moved me and erased all of my negativity that I had been through my existence. Everything is so calm since I met you. I felt so renewed!… Continue reading Untitled
“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 few weeks ago. It also… Continue reading “Patawad, Paalam, Salamat”

Can You Really Love Without Expecting Anything in Return?
Madalas kaming magpunta sa bahay ng lola namin sa probinsya tuwing mayroong mahabang bakasyon: kadalasan tuwing mahal na araw at pasko hanggang bagong taon. Matanda na si lola and we call her “Inang”.

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 sa sarili ko, na hindi… Continue reading SA GITNA NG KAWALAN

My ALMOST
As I am writing this post, I am scrolling through old scribbles and notes which had me recall a time where I experienced an almost relationship.

“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, pero ayaw ko lang na… Continue reading “Siguro-Tayo”

Missing the old “you”
How can you miss someone you’ve never met? Never in my wildest dream, but yes I do. I know I don’t have the right to miss the old “you”. I know it’s all my fault in the very first place.

The Night The Moon Fell
I was looking for the moon at the roof deck of our dormitory but unfortunately, no moon appeared. So, with a heavy heart, I sighed. “Is it already new moon?” I asked him. “But it was full moon four nights ago,” I continued. He was looking at the sky too. I guessed he was thinking… Continue reading The Night The Moon Fell
Someday Love Will Find Me
