You are broken in all places that can be broken. And it’s okay to feel that way. It’s okay to recognize that you are hurting. You have feelings, you get it, and it’s totally okay. It’s totally okay to wake up scared in the middle of the night. It’s totally okay not wanting to […]
Relapse is worse than the first shock
Remember how it was painful the first time? Take it and multiply a million times — that’s how a relapse would naturally feel. When you think you’re doing just fine and then one day it all blows up in your face — that you’re not fine, not a single fvcking bit, that’s relapsing. I […]
If you have 120 seconds left, who would you call?
‘I shaved my eyebrows when I was six using the razor you used to shave your legs. And you never knew about it because I hid it under my bangs.’
Of attending weddings when you’re brokenhearted
I attended a wedding in Taal Vista, Tagaytay yesterday. Yes. Tagaytay + Taal Vista + Wedding. This is really not a good combination. It was one of the most painful day I have to ever endure. Memories just kept flowing like waterfalls on a rainy day. What made it even more difficult is the fact […]
Six degrees of separation
I think I’ve heard this song before but I’ve never really got to like it, probably because it didn’t appeal to me at the time. But you know how it is when you’re brokenhearted suddenly all songs speak your story. Taylor Swift and The Script are probably your new bestfriends now as they loop continuously in […]
Of chasing and becoming
I may have had bad judgment calls one after the other– things I did that I may or may not regret few years from now, but the thing I definitely do not regret is going after what I want in life: to go on an adventure of knowing myself better, and chasing after the things I might be passionate about.
Because just like praying, sometimes you start writing again when you’re left with nothing
Well, technically I am not left with nothing. I have a job, a place of my own, my family and friends, my interests and as cliche as it goes, myself. But you know, when shit goes down we almost always blow it out of proportion. The past couple of weeks have been really difficult for […]
Day 4: Bestfriend
You only get one best friend in life. Or not. — So now I remember why this post sat in draft and I never gotten to publishing it. Not because I’m not a good person to not have a bestfriend, but what does having a bestfriend even mean? Is it growing up closely with someone? […]
Day 3: The perfect first date
If I wrote this several years ago, my perfect first date would look like this: “I’d be asked repeatedly to watch Iron Man few days before the date and I’d confirm on the morning of the day itself. I’d probably pass for him picking me up on my place. I’d rather meet him in the […]
Day 2: Something I ate today
Fried prawns with oatmeal, siao long bao, pork and shrimp siomai and taiwanese sausage fried rice. And no, I wasn’t able to take photos of all of those. This was from Lugang in SM Aura. I insisted to try the place because I have been hearing good feedback but I had a really disappointing visit. […]
