millennial money messes
I’m a millennial gal to my core. Born in 1992, my 30s commenced in 2022 and it’s been almost 3 years since I was “reborn” to grow up in my adulthood. In my teens, I dreamed of turning 30. I picture a 30-year old as someone who has figured it all. She is the woman…

para sa tatay nina Niccolo at Niccola*
Ikaw na may mabuting puso, na mamahalin namin palagi– Nagkadaupang-palad na ba tayo? Nahawakan mo na ba ang mga kamay ko? Nayakap na ba kita? Nagkwento ka na ba ng mga nangyari sa araw mo? Naririnig mo ba ang mga bulong ko na umuwi ka na; mag-iingat kang palagi; mahal ka namin; kami ang pamilya…

To you who I allowed to break my heart over and over: an open letter*
You’ve always been my “superman,” but you are also the Golden Retriever type. With you I am raw, and true, and free–and only you can “tame” that chaotic and complicated moments of who I can be. You have been my fantasized lover, and I always picture us doing so many things together. In my dreams,…

How’s the Soul?*
August 14, 2014 at 11:51am THE REASONWe’ve wronged the social definition of romance. Or perhaps we were too ignorant of what it really was, or is, or will be. We were never certain of anything but this. This. We don’t even know what to call it. We just know how it feels like to have…

Going Slow
October 15, 2014 at 3:38pm My life has always been in the fast lane. And in itself is a fast lane. I was 10 when I dreamed to be 20, so I can be free. I’m 22, yet I still couldn’t catch the drift of what they call “freedom”. I still see cobweb gates barring…

Flopping Forever
June 25, 2014 at 7:01am Dear forever, I am sorry to hear you have a blurry vision. All that I see in you are but scattered pieces of the puzzle I long to solve. You were crying? I’m sorry I can’t be there yet. I am alone working for us. These already broke even the…

THEY’LL NEVER KNOW (just a thought on the film “Only We Know”)
It is not about a secretive romantic relationship. Seeing the trailer and by the choice of actors, the film “Only We Know” gives an impression that it is merely a to-fight-for-kind-of-love between an old woman in her retirement years and a middle-aged man who recently lost his wife. The movie presents a typical life routine…

Eulogizing Me (A Favor to my best friend)
July 4, 2014 at 9:43pm If you will eulogize me, tell Them the truth. Don’t tell them how you’re gonna miss my kindness. They know that. I’ve long shown them, right? Instead tell them which I have always shown you. The rooms of my being only you were allowed to enter. Tell them how jealous…

Divine Demise
September 16, 2014 at 9:51am We mourn over our own death. We cannot expect people to cry for us, because we prepare our own death beds. We choose to always die. We die a thousand times. Millions even. And those times are all our choice. We choose to die over and over. So we can live…

the birthday bash[ed]
This is the perfect time. It’s my 33rd birthday, and in the past years I refuse (if not, avoid) dealing with people on this day. I run away from possibilities of greetings, surprises, special attention, etcetera etcetera. I used to love birthdays–my birthday. I have no clear memory but photographs of my unforgotten 2nd birthday…
