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...

Dumarating ... Umaalis

Isang araw, naglalakad ako sa Forestry. Nakasalubong ko ang isang tita na nagtatrabaho sa isang office ng UPLB. Nag-usap kami at nagkumustahan Tinanong ko sya kung pwede pa ba ako mag SA sa kanila. Tapos na yata kasi ang period para mag-apply. Sinabi nya sakin na pwede daw. Irerequest na lang daw nila ulit sa OSA na kukuha pa sila ng isa pa para makuha nila ako. Sobrang nagpasalamat ako sa kanya. Nakarating kami sa sakayan ng jeep at habang naghihintay, maraming ibang sasakyan ang dumaan. Hanggang sa isang malaking truck ang sunod na dumaan at sa di inaasahan … nagulungan ng truck ang kanang paa ko. Dugo. Maraming dugo. Pilit kong hinahanap sa paa ko ang sugat na pinagmumulan ng dugo ngunit masyadong marami ito na tila tinatakpan na ang buong paa ko. Sa kabila nito, wala akong nararamdamang  sakit. Naglakad kami ni tita ng kaunti. Patuloy sa pag-iwan ng bakas ang paa ko sa kalsada. Sumakay kami sa isang coaster na puro mga gradeschool students ang nakasakay. Bumaba kami sa...

At Twenty

Things change, people change and as time passes by, our perspective about people and things changes too. We are all growing old and up. Some may take a lot more years to be grown up, others might take only a few. It does not matter because what's important is that we have that point in our lives when we finally realize that we've changed from being the child who always dream to the matured one who's making that dream come true. At twenty, I can say that I have already passed the transition stage. Now, I view things differently in a better way. I noticed that there are particular aspects of life that looks really different this time: love; relationship; commitment; career; and success. As I grow up, these matters unraveled their true meaning or should I say, accurate meaning to me. It's in the way I talk about these things to other people that made me realize how much my perspective changed. LOVE In high school, I say "Love is magic." when asked wh...

After A While

I have been wanting to write this for so long. But I never got enough motivation to do so. Now, after watching a whole season of a TV series, I know I'm ready to write. For the past months I believe I'm not truly okay. There are certain things that happened which hurt me and made it hard for me to be okay. For some, it might not be a big deal but for me, being betrayed by a friend is a big deal. Everyone might have experienced the same… trusting someone, telling them almost everything about you, letting them know the deep parts of yourself especially your thoughts and feelings and suddenly, they do something that makes you want to take everything back. It is painful. It makes you feel like you're a mess for deciding to trust them. Everything just makes you feel like you are such a disappointment. It is indeed a risk to befriend someone and with that comes the responsibility for making that friendship real. Years, months, weeks, days...it's not determined by ...

Hindi Ka Na Naman Mister

"Bakit ka ganyan? Nakakainis ka." Paulit-ulit kong sinabi sayo yun paglabas ko ng pinto. Sobra ka naman kasi e...sobrang sweet. At sobrang napasaya mo ako. Ang hirap mag-isip ng sasabihin kasi nakakatameme talaga hanggang ngayon. Thank you! Hindi ko akalaing may makakaappreciate sakin gaya ng kung paano mo ako iappreciate. Hindi ko inasahan na may gagawa ng mga sweet na bagay para sa akin katulad ng mga ginagawa mo. Hindi ko inexpect na sasagutin agad ni God yung panalangin ko. Isa lang 'to sa mga sobrang sweet na ginawa mo at kahit paulit-ulit na ako, gusto ko pa rin sabihin na naappreciate ko...sobra. Salamat.
That night, you asked her what song does she dedicates to you. She didn't answer. Not that there is nothing she can say, but that moment is not enough to list all the songs that she want to sing to you. The past days have been enough to remember and list some of those: 1.  Little Things - Colbie Caillat " The little things you do to me Are taking me over, I wanna show ya Everything inside of me Oh, like a nervous heart that is crazy beating." 2.  Say it Again - Marie Digby " Say it again for me Cause I love the way it feels when you are Tellin' me that I'm The only one who blows your mind Say it again for me It's like the whole world stops to listen When you tell me you're in love Say it again" 3. Cherish - MYMP "Cherish the thought of always having you here by my side Baby, I cherish the joy you keep bringing into my life I'm always singing it Cherish your strength you got the power to make me feel good ...
