Heart checklist is a series of realizations and experiences I got from loving the people I love. This first lesson goes to this generation and the next. Romanticising love feels nice, but don’t fool yourself into thinking that love will always be fun. You’ll only be setting up disappointments with that mindset. I’m reminded ofContinue reading “Heart Check #1 – Not Always Fun”

Dear Future Me
I started journaling again. It’s been a while since my last entry. Something about this feels so therapeutic. Like when I started cleaning my room again after sometime. As I look back to these blank pages from days I didn’t have the time to write down how my day went, I thought, “This has toContinue reading “Dear Future Me”
Kinabukasan
Sa tuwing iniisip ko ang kahihinatnan ng binubuo nating relasyon, ‘di ko maiwasang ngumiti. Ito pala ang pakiramdam na makahanap ng taong gusto mong makasama sa bawat bundok at lambak ng buhay. Hindi pala puro kilig ang pag-ibig, may kirot ding kaakibat ang pagmamahal nang tapat. Higit kong nararamdaman ang ligaya sa bawat surpresa naContinue reading “Kinabukasan”
Too Much Love
Writing about love isn’t hard for me ’cause I’m filled with love to share. But would you believe me if I told you that love…terrifies me sometimes.

Still here
Sometime in 2021, I wrote a prose called Hidden Tears of the Silver Cloud. It was the first time I saw and felt that you’re down. I never knew the reason behind the heavy weight you carried that day. For all I know, you might still be carrying the same burden today. Now in 2024,Continue reading “Still here”
You must know
I wonder how confident you are with your knowledge of me. There’s no denying that you already know about the things that make me smile. I mean, you’re in that list. Perhaps you also know what I look like when I wake up in the morning. You’ll enjoy more of that in the future, hopefully.Continue reading “You must know”
We were here
We were there at Macao. Where you secretly took a picture of me trying to take a photo of the huge teddy bear. We had caramel hair and matching phone cases. You almost left that yellow bag after we ran around places. We were there at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Where we had ourContinue reading “We were here”
