The Joy In Online Learning

With a wide yawn, sleepy eyes and a half-awake spirit, I gently opened my laptop screen and entered my password to start another journey to the online world. The morninglight woke me up a few minutes ago and forced me to drag myself to my current position. A laptop in front, water at the rightContinue reading “The Joy In Online Learning”

Helping Hand from the Past

Don’t you miss the afternoon naps? Those care-free moments of our childhood? Because I do. I miss how wonderful the world looked to my 5-year old self. I miss having nothing to lose. I also like to look back at the moments when I was 15. When I was foolish enough to think that IContinue reading “Helping Hand from the Past”

Letting Go

We have different views on the concept of letting go. Some find it painful while others see it as freedom. I fall on both categories. Back when I was younger, I’ve always been the type who will have a crush on someone for a couple of years or not have a crush at all. ThereContinue reading “Letting Go”

One Summer Getaway

Adventures have always been a part of my life. They provide the thrill and the fun that I seek as a young person. Perhaps being exposed to a lot of travelling makes you long for the wondrous places across the globe. I’m positive that my mother successfully shared her passion with me by bringing meContinue reading “One Summer Getaway”

Mask Up, Guard Up

As I was about to take a step outside our gate, I froze and remembered that I had forgotten to wear a mask. The change brought upon by the new normal may be troublesome to others. Some might consider it as an advantage. No matter what we might think of the situation at hand,we allContinue reading “Mask Up, Guard Up”

Liham Kay Tatay

Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin alam ang dahilan ng iyong paglisan. Ngunit huwag mo sanang isipin na ako’y puno ng galit at hinanakit sa’yo. Lumaki akong mabilis magpatawad. Ayaw kong mapuno ng kasamaan ang aking puso kaya’t kung ano man ang iyong rason ay tatanggapin ko. Hindi ko tanda kung nasilayan ba kitaContinue reading “Liham Kay Tatay”

Tides

Intimidating are the waves that guard the sea. Which like our lives, can be unexpected and overwhelming. But similar to how the tides change every so often, this journey of ours will always have its highs and lows. If you ever find yourself in high tides, observe how loud the roars of the water get.Continue reading “Tides”

Birthday Bash

I’ve gotten used to not celebrating my birthday in the grandest way possible. To be honest, I don’t really remember if I truly have been happy to receive gifts and cakes when I was younger. But I’m not an ungrateful brat. Let me just throw that out so you won’t misunderstand. I do think it’sContinue reading “Birthday Bash”

Coming to terms

I’ve always expected that reaching the age of 18 will be the same as how we’ve gone through the earlier years of our lives. Just another year to experience. However, as the months progress this 2021, I’ve been noticing the frequent internal monologues that I have. Part of it is composed of me scolding myselfContinue reading “Coming to terms”

Paglubog ng Araw

Kaugnay ng paglubog ang pagbagsak. Madalas magkasama ang dalawa. Paglubog sa utang o sa problema. Paglubog sa hirap ng buhay. Negatibo ang dating sa marami. Iba ang tingin ko sa salitang ito. Hindi laging masama ang nangyayari sa paglubog. Tulad na lang ng paglubog ng araw. Sa tuwing sumasapit ang dapithapon ay nasisilayan ko angContinue reading “Paglubog ng Araw”
