Remembering the quarantine

More than half of the year has passed, and about five months have been under quarantine, from the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) to modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), general community quarantine (GCQ), and so on. Many of us may have gone through different phases of emotional and even physical distress during those times. I have … Continue reading Remembering the quarantine

How to Get Back Up from a Slump?

A Trip to Loving Myself More

Everyone is on a one-way trip through life. Whether you believe in reincarnation, it won't happen until another lifetime.  Love poems, love notes, lovers hugging, billboards reminding of love and romance, romantic TV series and movies; there sure is romance everywhere.

Adulting: Struggles of Letting Go

Have you ever experienced a day when you just blurt out statements like 'Shocks, I'm getting old!' or 'Seriously? How old are you?'? I have those moments now, but I'm not even close to turning 30.

Museong Salamin

Apat na sulok ang lalakbayin Bago lisanin ang nakaraang madilim Pero paano matatapos Kung ang pader ay salamin? Walang katapusan ang pag-ikot Dumudoble ang sulok sa bawat tingin Dumadagundong ang pintig ng puso Nagbabadya o nagpapaalala Mag-ingat ka sa anumang paparating Sulyap sa kaliwa may litratong dala Panahon ng bata pa't walang problema Tanging pag-iyak sa … Continue reading Museong Salamin

Day 5 Memories of My Forgotten Childhood

Just my simple reflection for today: Many things are flying all over my mind. I know that I'm old-fashioned and I prefer writing my concerns and wishes die instead of sharing them with others.
