The recent ones I did were sponsoring the community pantry of my school during the pandemic and feeding street dwellers back in 2023. This year, IContinue reading “22”

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.

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.

Wrote Me A Poem
On the 3rd of January 2022, I wrote a prose that was meant for you. I do that a lot. I write poems and proses for people without letting them know. But I admit, there’s always a part of me that is hoping they’d realize it’s for them. That they’d feel every word I wrote.Continue reading “Wrote Me A Poem”
