What else is left to do? Forgive.
Growing up in an environment where clear apology is not normally heard, I made myself a not-so forgiving person–which I would always use as alibi when in a conflict and I don’t feel like reconciling with the other party. Partly that’s true, somehow it’s the only truth I ought to take hold as I try…

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,…

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…

i remember the boy(s), but i don’t remember the f–
It’s been a pretty rough delusion-ship (I made that up for the sake of this narrative) journey in my adult life. I have fallen in love with far too many men (or guys – not sure yet what’s more appropriate here) that never really were my boyfriend. Funny thing is, I got brokenhearted.. and we…

the gone grit
I was out with friends last night as I found myself yet again explaining my inactivity, almost-indolent kind of performance at work. I am fairly sure the stories I tell myself (and of others) are not mere excuses, instead are reevaluation and view on hindsight of the past years of my life. Narrating with my…

the turbulent thirties
Who ever decided that a woman’s life has expiration? I’m turning 33 in a few weeks time. It’s always been a gift and a privilege for me to celebrate my birthday. When younger peeps ask me how it feels, I basically have the same, almost templated, response: my 30s, by far, are the best years,…

throwing stones…
We are the sum of all our good and bad deeds. In our lifetime, we are always faced with the choice of the actions we ought to take. It is always easy to choose the pleasurable, as it eases one’s feelings, but they aren’t always the right choice. When we were younger, our parents provide…

“paglubog” and its notions
People with a certain level of attachment to a project/work/business has a certain level of commitment to it as well. In the past days, I was assigned to be in-charge of our team. It was a task I thought was piece of cake. My mentor tells me I am to oversee day-to-day activities. I was…

can’t watch “the pursuit of happyness”
Watching my favorite films over and over is my comfort activity. I have basically watched Eat, Pray, Love on an average of 20 times; The Devil Wears Prada, 30+. It is a basic need for me. When I’m sad, I watch my favorite movie. When lined up, it is inevitable though that I will include…

the real cost
There’s always a price for everything. Yesterday, SB19’s official media accounts announced the ticket price point for their KickOff concert for SimulaatWakas on May 31, 2025 at the Philippine Arena. It was the amount I was expecting, and as expected, I am in no guarantee that I will be able to afford it. Maybe yes,…
