Whenever I don’t have my laptop or journal with me, I’m bombarded with thoughts I wanna write about and usually when I’m about to, when my equipment are all complete, I get a writer’s block. I wanted to write about food, or how crazy and dull my life has been, or how this dating is crushing my confidence. Haha. For today, I kind of want to talk about what I did that I’m not proud of. I guess it…
I haven’t been writing for too long–in here. I do have my daily journal. I do think it’s because I’m okay now, that I don’t need an outlet, that I don’t need someone else’s validation that I was being heard, that I was being comforted, that I was being sided on. They said that during moments of impact, either you make most with what you have or you let situations defeat you, either you grow or…
6:08 PM–the first nightfall of another 365 days so I would like to make this count. 2017 had been my worst year yet. A year ago today, I was at The Ritz in Florida, watching fireworks from afar as we do our last service for the year. I looked at the night sky glimmering with colors in different shapes and sounds and couldn’t help but be thankful for what 2016 has brought me. It had brought me a…
I know what we are and you know what we could be I know what we are not and you know what we couldn’t be I know it came from my own mouth, my own words but they tasted like salt in my tongue It was the truth It was the reality but you weren’t supposed to agree on them Funny how I make you say things I wouldn’t want to hear I know I shouldn’t, I know I’m not supposed to But then again I’d rather…
Alex was right. He has always been right about things. I’ve always wanted to have an older brother, someone who’d protect me when boys break my heart, or someone who’d look after me, make sure that I get home safe, or that I date the right people, or someone who just cares about you and what you do. I’m the eldest amongst my siblings, was always the one giving, never the one receiving. I’ve never…
So Dani, Tass and (I forgot what her boyfriend’s name was) went to Luca’s to have brunch. It wasn’t one of my first choices for brunch since Zac and I went to have a look on their menu and it was a bit extensive and all over the place like you don’t have an idea on what they’re actually trying to sell. It was mostly Italian but it had bento boxes, burgers, and what my roommate didn’t like was how…
2 months overdue. But is it really? I have been wanting to write but I couldn’t because if I did, you wouldn’t like it. I was full of anger and resentment and sorrow and loneliness…and longing. I would have written and published letters I shouldn’t have. I would have completely forgotten about taking the high road and shooed away the white horse. I was that mad. How could I not be? I am where I…
Nope. This isn’t about Game of Thrones. I’m just still on a high after watching the most recent episode. Home is not a place but a person. In my case, it’s a family. I have never seen an army of people trying to help me get over a breakup. It’s craaaazy! I used to cry and feel sorry for myself for being in the same situation again–promised a marriage and then got cheated on. The first time was…
Be Phoenix. Be ashes. Burn down. Resurrect. ❤ I love quotes like these–sooo inspiring! Really excited for what future will bring me and taking with me my learnings and all beautiful souls that I’ve met this year. Also excited to see my Fernandina family this August! I miss Alex. I miss Locals!!! Hanny’s right. I may not have a job. I’ve recently just broken up and not have someone…but I have…
I wait for my travel buddies to arrive and by buddies, I mean my family–extended family. We travel as one big pack specially during the summer where every person that has our bloodline comes to visit the Philippines, sort of a yearly reunion, to catch up and most specially, to spend time with our grammie. Today we’re off to Coron, Palawan. Ah, the trip that started it all. Seeing Palawan makes me…
Just thought about this while I was on the boat earlier. God is love and love is God so therefore: God is patient, God is kind. God does not envy, He does not boast, He is not proud. He is not rude, He is not self-seeking, He is not easily angered, He keeps no record of wrongs. God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. God always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always…
