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…

Come home…
January 28, 2015 at 3:06pm She tosses and turns. Check the clock. “It’s 5.” It has been 4 years, 7 months and days since she last shed the tears she ought not to. Maybe it’s long enough to contain a volcano from erupting. Long enough to learn a language. Long enough to finish a degree. But short…

come back
December 3, 2014 at 12:22pm “Oh wait!” I barely whispered. I could not force her to stay, yet I never wanted her to leave. There was no single response. The word from her mouth ceased from flowing. Worse than a field under drought. I could’ve given an explanation of why and how and what. But that…

Color Catastrophe
July 3, 2014 at 11:32am She found love at a time when she barely knew ABC. She was a typical school girl wearing a tucked blouse shielded by a suspender clinging to her skirt. She doesn’t recognize any familiar face she saw a year ago upon starting grade school. She only knows that her mom…

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…

Codename:BESTFRIEND*
February 17, 2015 at 3:51pm Maybe I’m the worst “best friend” anyone could have. In my 22 years of existence, I had already accumulated a bunch of what they call “best friend”. My #1 saw me in undies. Received slaps and punches because I was too selfish a sister to my brother. He was just…

Cease the Moment
September 9, 2014 at 9:34am It lies between the blink of an eye and one count of my breath. It is somewhere along the ‘lub’ in my heartbeat, or maybe, just maybe it’s in the second I grit my teeth because brackets are causing them unbearable pang that I cringe. Or maybe worse than that,…

Beyb, you are enough.
September 22, 2014 at 9:14am It was a figure I saw from afar. Despite the distance, I was more than sure it was you. It’s the same petite body I knew since I was 14. The same young girl-like that I talked to one cold night of August in 2013. Maybe I really know you…

Attracting Sappho
August 27, 2014 at 6:47pm It was at that time she was dating the popular Eugin. I can always see their palms fixed with each others’. He touches her waist, and she does not resist. I wonder. Days and days by our backyard that they put their hands and lips and bodies together. Until one…
