Forgiveness

Who would have thought it would end up this way? Surely, the tides have turned and God is indeed cradling my heart in His holy palms. This dream, I already abandoned it a long time ago. Said my heart had had it. I’m done. I’m okay without you. I’ve been doing good without you. But…Read more Forgiveness

Promise Me…

Dear You, Promise me that when you get married, it will be truly with someone you prayed and waited for all your life. Let her be someone who can make you summon the sun in your eyes amid a stormy day. One you can laugh with in the middle of an ugly fight; one whose…Read more Promise Me…

Once upon a time

It’s your special day today. This day would define who you are for the rest of your life.

Clean Slate

They met when everything around her was disintegrating. It was her winter season. He was heralding spring. She liked him instantly. He with the big heart, the sharp tongue, the dry humor, the ubiquitous sarcasm, the undeniable charm that seemed to transcend space and time. He was capturing her heart effortlessly and she was almost…Read more Clean Slate

Life Happens

It has been awhile since I sat down and write on this space of mine in cyberspace. Too many things have happened since my last entry. And I guess no entry on this blog can sometimes be a good thing – it only means I don’t have the time to sift through my thoughts long…Read more Life Happens

Lifening

  I borrowed that word, obviously, from Snow Patrol’s song of the same title. I just think it’s fitting to use the band’s own word to describe how I felt listening to their songs last night, at their concert. And no, this is not an attempt to review their performance or their music. Nor is…Read more Lifening

Simple

What do you really mean when you say ‘simple’? I used to struggle with that word. I had a hard time defining it to fit me, who I am, what I have, into its parameters, to please someone.

Serenity

A few things could calm me from the raging stress I get from my day job. Chocolate is one. The dark kind. Or maybe, a glass of sweet wine. Chilled, thank you. Or good music. From a guitar or a piano. Or just the mere sight of a guitar. Yes, it's weird, but the instrument…Read more Serenity

Infatuation

Is it possible to be infatuated with words? Like how through words one can form a person, an ideal, a place, a history, a character, a trait, a virtue, a personality...? Or is it just the ability of words to stir the imagination from which a foolish heart (like mine) can draw the inspiration to…Read more Infatuation

Scattered Words

Earlier today, my friend showed me a poem I’ve written ages ago, a decade maybe. It was written on a scratch paper. I recognized my handwriting and the words I weaved so many moons back. I don’t know how that paper landed in her hands. But I’m just so glad and touched that she kept…Read more Scattered Words
