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

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...

"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...
