Life at a blink of an eye
I’ll use the first sentence from a friend’s email which greeted me today, “Life is happening at an incredible rate of warp speed, I hear it going on, people running all around, a blur of busyness and purpose….” It’s my first day today since I left work, something I’ve been looking forward to since last [...]
Punctuations
I’ll let the punctuations explain this week for me. [ ! ] An unexpected surprise had me jumping for joy this end of the week. All surprises work that way but this was really one GOOD surprise that I did not at all see coming. Just when I was making some plans and calculating life [...]
Taxi encounters #1: Hill or hell?
My taxi driver this morning was so perky and full of energy. So he was singing this Tagalog religious song and asked me, “anong relihiyon mo?” (What’s your religion?) I said, “Christian po. Baptist.” And then he goes, “Ah, anong mga kanta niyo dun? Meron ba kayong Purihin ang Diyos?” (What songs do you sing? [...]
Freedom IS happiness :)
The truth is, things have never been more clear to me than they are now. So many things make sense that I’m careful enough not to argue or question them anymore because I would only be complicating the truth. In a nutshell, the truth is that you and I never really worked. And I’m happy [...]
A tribute to my Bridge crossers
The truth that people come and go always hits home to me. Having weathered a few broken relationships has taught me that people, even friends, aren’t always going to be there. Some leave because circumstances call for it. Others, because of a choice. Still others, just because. Whatever category they fall under would always hurt, [...]
Disclaimers
I don’t like being misunderstood (for anything that I ever do), that’s why I always articulate my thoughts and express myself, and at the same time also encourage people to do that. The goal after all is not to please people but to be understood. As a general rule, I always try to make my [...]
Losses
Since my sister arrived in Manila last January, we’ve been non-stop cleaning and decluttering the house —all 25 years’ worth of accumulated things thoroughly searched through. I was just saying to myself the other day (yes, I love monologues) that coming across old things like notebooks and papers from college and high school brought back [...]
The universe and me
I’d like to think I am doing well after two months. Two months is a pretty long time considering the long history of irregular communications and cases of almost farewells. I’d like to think I am doing a good job keeping my end of the bargain: I have stayed away and have taken out the [...]
Rock bottom
I am about to hit rock bottom and I have little energy left to talk about it at length and cry. I am just so, so tired of all the continuous mistakes I seem to be making at work and at home. I am so emotionally, mentally exhausted and even if something inside me is [...]
A rude Awakening
2:00 in the morning. I am comfortably in bed and ready to retire for the night as soon as sleep calls, but something made me stay up. I was just staring blankly at the wall for quite a period, waiting to fall asleep, when the thought of that fateful September night came to mind. For [...]
