Favs & Hates

In life, there are several things that I like and a few that I distaste. And there are those that I have a love-hate relationship with. Water is something that I love. Be it the liquid that I drink or perhaps that pool that I often think about in this summer heat. I also likeContinue reading “Favs & Hates”

Crush Mo Nga, Crush Ka Ba

Required na ba ngayon na i-crushback ni crush? Mapayapa akong nagbabasa ng mga posts na nasa Facebook newsfeed ko nang may nakita akong shared post mula sa isang kaibigan. “Ay demanding friend!”, ang unang sumagi sa isipan ko. Pero naalala ko na ganito rin ako noong elementary. May naging crush kasi ako noon for fourContinue reading “Crush Mo Nga, Crush Ka Ba”

Back to Dust

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.Ecclesiastes 12:7 KJV The thought of death was once an extremely scary concept to me. A matter that I tried to ignore in the past. Maybe I was frightened of the idea of leaving everythingContinue reading “Back to Dust”

Poot at Paglaya

Sino ka kapag ikaw ay galit?Napopoot at may hinanakit? Ngayong araw ay nasaksihan ko kung paano kinokontrol ng sama ng loob ang isang tao. Wala namang nagbago, lumala lang. Kung dati’y masasakit na salita lang ang ibinabato nila sa bawat isa, bangko at matalim na gunting na ang aking nakita. Nakakarindi at nakakalungkot na makitangContinue reading “Poot at Paglaya”

Ambiverted

I’ve always known myself to be the talkative type. The one with overflowing self-expression. I even got myself into trouble because of this outgoing personality. However, people have told me about another side of mine that I, initially, wasn’t really aware of. A lot of my friends have told me that I would often stareContinue reading “Ambiverted”

First Time Flying

The white plane above continued to make its way through the clouds. I watched as it slowly disappeared from my line of sight, wondering when will I be able to ride one. But don’t get me wrong. It won’t be my first time flying when that day comes. My first experience happened along the highway.Continue reading “First Time Flying”

XP

There are people in our lives that can leave a lasting impact on us. Be it a close relative or even a stranger. There will always be someone that will indirectly teach us a thing or two about life. I was raised by my single mother and her twin sister. Back then, I thought nothingContinue reading “XP”

Thou Shall Not Commit

“I didn’t sign up for this!”, I told myself as I cried myself to sleep that night. Maybe it was the cool touch of the evening breeze or the comforting embrace of my bed. Perhaps it was both. But deep inside I know that my prayer was the reason I escaped those troubling thoughts. ItContinue reading “Thou Shall Not Commit”

The Motion Picture of Us

As I close my eyes, I see myself walking excitedly toward the mall entrance. It must have been the first week of July back in 2017. Because I remember how refreshing it felt toget inside the air conditioned building. Leaving the humid weather outside of Gateway Plaza. Now, I see stores after stores. Back toContinue reading “The Motion Picture of Us”

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”
