He was at an 8-hour work for the day. I went to his office and made an excuse to the receptionist so she will let me see him. I waited outside and in a while, he came down to see me. As soon as he reached me, I hugged him and cried hard. When the emotions subside, we walked home. I woke up.

O.K.

"Is it okay if I close my eyes? Is it okay if I take my time just for a little while? - It's Okay, Clara Benin ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MnVNeQiCQE ) Today, I had the opportunity to go out of the house and run errands in Makati (I live in Manila). On  the way, I can't help but feel different emotions rushing through me: happiness, sadness, anger, frustration, hopefulness, gratefulness, among others. I'm happy because I was able to go out and breathe different air. Sad because everything feels different. Makati is a very familiar place to me since I work there but today it was nothing like how I used to remember it. Angry with our government because I saw people on the streets knocking on the car windows, asking for money to help them survive. They weren't supposed to be there; they were supposed to be taken care of by the people in power. But they're not. Frustrated that after almost two months, we're still stuck at home without assurance on wh

Hampas

Ang puso ko'y inanod... inanod, nalunod Damdamin ay tinangay tungo doon sa pusod Sa gitna, pinakamalalim, ngunit tinatanging bukod Ang puso ko'y inanod, malugod na sumunod. Hinarap ang mga alon at balakid Sa hampas ng tubig pinilit di mamanhid Nahulog ako at napailalim Marating lang ang iyong piling. Nilangoy ang dagat ng iyong pagmamahal Sa pag-asa na ako'y itatanghal Bilang nag-iisang taong ihaharap sa Maykapal At patunay na may katuparan ang mga dasal.

Hands

It was as clear as the sea A crystal memory to me That very last time When eveything's fine. I held your hand, My number one fan, Hoping and praying That there'll be no mourning. Still, I hold on I just can't move on I will never let go Dear, I miss you so!

Hopeless romantic daw ang tawag sa mga katulad ko. Hindi ako tatanggi dahil inaamin ko na ganun talaga ako. Mahilig sa mga love stories at kung anu-anong romantic kahit ano pang medium. Movies, books, music, pero higit sa lahat, pinakagusto ko ang mga totoong kwento. Kaya siguro mahilig ako sa mga wedding proposal, kasal at Aldub. Kanina lang, napadaan ako sa San Agustin Church (isa sa mga pinakagusto kong simbahan) at naabutan ko ang pagsisimula ng isang kasal. Kinapalan ko ang mukha ko at pumasok sa loob. Paborito ko kasi yung part na pagpasok ng bride sa pinto ng simbahan. Para sa akin, yun ang pinakamagical na bahagi ng isang kasal. Ang ganda nung bride. Medyo nanginginig sya sa halu-halong emosyon. Tila hindi nya alam kung ngingiti ba sya habang naglalakad o hahayaang tumulo ang luha sa sobrang kaligayahan hanggang sa matanaw ko ang groom. May hawak sya na panyo at nagpapahid ng luha sa kanyang pisngi. Ilang sandali lang bago ko isulat ito ay nanonood ako ng Wagas. Isang

An Open Letter To The Man Who Makes Me Want To Stay In Love

My love, I'm sorry for the past month. It has been very hard for both of us, but look at where we are now. We survived! It has been almost two years since that day in Pangasinan and I am proud to say that we've grown individually and together. These past few days, I wasn't really thinking much about us or about our future which is unusual. I guess it's the thesis and projects that has been taking most of my time. But, you know what? Just recently, I realized certain things in you that makes you beautiful. You are the one who usually use that word (and sometimes the opposite, hahahuhu) to refer to me but now, I'm calling you BEAUTIFUL because you truly are. You are intellectually beautiful, indeed. And I like that very very much about you. Though it's intimidating sometimes, you still challenge me to beat your exam scores which makes me study harder and be the best in school that I can be. The most recent that I can remember is the ABE 72 1st exam in w

True Love Waits (Discovery Camp Sharing)

Last weekend, I had the chance to share a love story to my brothers and sisters in YFC. I'm sharing this here now because I'd also like to encourage everyone who's struggling with relationships, not necessarily romantic relationships. Have faith! Trust God's plan! Love truly! December 1, 2012. It was our family's annual thanksgiving and wish day. For that year I prayed for love. Medyo matagal ko na rin kasing ipinagdadasal yung taong ipagkakaloob Nya sa akin pero simula nung pagkakataon lang na yun ko sinabi sa Kanya na handa na po ako. As we know, God's answer can be a YES, NO or WAIT. So I waited while continuously praying. August 16, 2013. In Pangasinan, a friend confessed his admiration. I had no idea so everything was a shock. Like other people awkward para sa akin nung umpisa kasi kaibigan ko e. Nakkwento ko pa sa kanya yung mga crushes ko at ganun din sya. We were each other's confidant pagdating sa mga crush kaya nagulat talaga ako sa sinabi
