Why is it that when you're about to leave, you...
And perhaps, this reason is enough for me to let them tie up my wings again. Because maybe, being flightless isn’t so bad when there’s another bird with you in the cage. Maybe, my dreams aren’t the same without you in it.

At this moment, in the midst of all that could go...
I want you to know that you have made me incredibly happy beyond any reasonable doubt, and that I have no idea what I have done to deserve someone like you in my life. I don’t want to ruin things by trying to force them to last, but I’m telling you right now that no matter what happens I am forever changed by you and what you mean to me. You’re wonderful.

One day, a few months ago, I woke up and realized...
I was going to do the same thing twice thinking it was going to end differently. I felt trapped, and suffocated. I could practically feel my back breaking from all the weight of all the lives I could have lived. I didn’t know what else to do, so I prayed.
I prayed for hope. I prayed for a chance. I prayed for a change. I prayed, and on days when that didn’t feel enough, I asked a few...

I haven't blogged in a long time.
Because I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, and I just had to clear them out and calm myself down before writing anything.
The past few weeks have been incredibly eventful. My parent’s 25th anniversary, sleepover with friends, Dinagyang festival, college entrance examination resuts, YMSAT, college applications and interviews, and lots of other things I can’t remember now.
I had...

We have to.
We have to fail before we can learn. We have to lose a few people in our lives to know the value of the ones that stayed. We need to fall in love to know what it’s like to really get hurt. We have to choke on our pride to be humbled. We have to lose a few battles so our victories would taste sweeter. We have to see death before we really understand how to live. We need to be broken before we...

Have you ever looked at someone,
and wished that you had met them much sooner?
When you look back at all those days and wonder how life was like before they came in to it. When you remember all the days you didn’t speak to them, or was afraid to let them get to know the real you, it sort of hits you that you wasted so much of the little time you have left. So much that you can’t get back.

You see, one day, I woke and realized that none of...
That instead of trying to get good grades, what I really wanted was to get back on my feet and try to find the passion to learn again.
And when I say learn, it’s not just the “memory-this-for-an-exam-and-forget-it-after” kind of thing. I mean, falling in love with the mere idea of knowing something new, being interested in the mundane. You see, my four years in high school with...

Suddenly, things didn't matter anymore.
Failing grades, college entrance examination results, the pimple on my forehead, the broken mirror in my room.. None of it mattered.
Today, I woke up in the morning. I took a bath, and went to school. I arrived a minute late to the flag ceremony. Mailed my transcripts to England, and then filed for an affidavit of loss for my ATM card. I fitted for a dress for my parent’s 25th anniversary....

There are many things we do not want to know about...
Will they suddenly wake up in the morning one day and feel differently? Will they even wake up at all? Will they be there for us when they told us they would be? Will they try to become better people for us? Will they end up becoming worse? Will they love you when you’re fat? When you’re ugly? When you lose your hair? When you get stuck in a coma forever? When you’re dead? Will...

9. College Entrance Exams
Probably the one stressing thing about being a senior is realizing you’re a few years closer to graduating from college and not having any more summer breaks for the rest of your life. Yes, no more summer breaks. UPCAT, ACET, USTET, DLSUCET, SATs or whatever it is you took, kind of rattles you from the inside out.
On the days I realize that I may not pass every exam I attempted to take, or that...
