Money Matters
What happened was I had an epiphany and was able to rewire my brain with regards to my finances and income generation.
The Basements I’ve Haunted
There is a mannequin in the basement at work. It moves around, it used to startle me. Now I pretend I don’t notice. And it pretends it doesn’t see me. There are ghosts there, and we both pretend not to notice each other. We have reached an uncomfortable impasse.
Enjoying life on a tight budget
With all the payables that we have after moving in to our new home, there are certain luxuries that we just have to skip. We get fewer outdoor adventures and going to the mall is now subject for debate. Nonetheless, we try to keep ourselves entertained as we try to maintain our sanity despite the new challenges of owning our own property. Fortunately, the pandemic lessened our choices and actually made us think of more practical ways to enjoy without breaking the bank.
Aging Backwards
Die first and get this out of the way. Pass the wisdom of age onto a younger version of myself when my vitality is at its peak and end up a glimmer in my parent’s eye. What an intriguing idea!

Storyteller’s Wish
Should I change the genre of my story?
A horror or thriller instead?
Better not a romance or comedy
Just something that might not make me dead.
Heart’s Desire
I feel the blood flowing like tears,
while she lies still,
so still,
empty.
The End
I might have lost my mind
or all hope for a future
May The Night Take Me
She wouldn’t look at me, but kissed me hard and told me she loved me. Loved me so much it hurt. As I laid in that bed wincing from the pain in my leg, I didn’t ask her to promise she would return to me.
Ode to A Hair Clump Down the Drain
I was never the fruit you wanted
to bear. I was never the fruit that
you wanted to pick.
Now the thought of you makes me angry.
“Sopla”
Kung ibinabalik ng kung sino man ang hindi magandang pangyayari sa nakaraan mo
