A Letter to Grandpa and Grandma

-
Yesterday, I found out that my grandparents are really scared that I have a boyfriend now. I am quite surprised that they still think of that because they never fail to ask me about it everytime I'm at home. I always say that there isn't and it's the truth.

Dear Nanay and Tatay,

I have never found the courage to tell this to you in person. Even now, I find it easier to write it on my blog than to text you, but I hope you already know this by heart.

I don't have a boyfriend. I don't even have a plan on having one until I got my degree. Your love is more than enough for me to feel that I am complete, that I am not missing something. There were times that I envy my friends because they're in a relationship, but whenever I think about you, I feel so proud that I am being obedient to you. There were boys around, but you are much more important than any of them. You trust me so much that I can't imagine myself disappointing you.

I promise to wait until you tell me that it's time, that I can already handle myself with that matter, that you can finally let someone take care of me besides you. I will wait until you tell me to. You have my word, I won't break it. I promise to you, to myself and to God. We are one team with this.

Lots of love,
Tamaymay

How To Be A Sister

There will always be that moment when you'll finally realize that what you're doing is wrong and that it's time to change. I have a sister. She's three years younger than me. All my life, I know, I have never been a good sister to her. She always tell me, "Buti pa sa ibang tao, mabait ka. Sa akin, hindi." She's right. I was always mad at her. I can't trace why I treat her so rude. In fact, I can still remember how happy I am when I first saw her...our bunso. We grew almost apart. I rarely talk to her and I don't usually help her with her academic requirements. Nevertheless, she was always there for me. Whatever help I needed  from her and whatever favor I asked, she's willing to give. She was always the better sister and I really admire her for being so nice to me even though I don't reciprocate the kindness. Lately, our family has been through something. It was painful and hard for everyone but we all stayed strong. One weekend

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

I really don't have plans on writing today but something inside me wants to say something. I am not that busy or problematic the past few days, maybe it's just that I want to talk to someone about anything but I can't find the right person or the right thing to talk about. It is the start of the week and I'm feeling this way. This is somehow bothering so I'd better let it out. These past days have not been full of worries. I may say that those were some of the "lightest days" of the semester. I've had a lot of time to think while walking to class, to prepare my own meal, to check on what things I needed for the coming days plus the time that I had to go home last weekend. I want to experience a lot of things, to do what I haven't done, to break the rules and don't care about what others might say but I CAN'T. I've always been the obedient kid because I don't want to be blamed for being stupid. I AM AFRAID. People around me mig
