October Is A Busy Month For Me
I have to celebrate, devour, and create
So many things in the longest but shortest period of calendar-time—
Decide, plan, purchase, and make my Halloween costume;
Death Worn – My Covid Realizations
I am worn
Some would say death worn
And I care not
To feel this way
Ever again
What We Need To Do
Isolation is a terrible thing. Being alone can do strange things to people. Everybody needs some solitude to clean out their soul, to make peace with their demons.Too much is almost unbearable.
6 Days Before Death
That night she cooed herself to sleep while snuggling under the warmth of her duvet. Like a child anyone would have said. But the woman that lay there didn’t care much for she knew her time was coming and the clock was ticking, faster than ever before.

I Left My Heart In The Philippines
I may be amazed of the hills in Azores,
But I'd be happier rolling down the hills of Batanes.
Welcome to My Circus
I am at a loss for words. I didn't even know what to do first. Where I should start? I slept in today. Oh, a glorious extra hour. I have been so tired, not sleeping well and I was reveling last night at even the idea of a much needed, long sleep. I don't know what I was thinking. I am a mother of 5.

Yung pakiramdam na di mapaliwanag,
Umaapaw hangga't matapon,
Oras na para ilabas ang bigat na nakatali,
Instant Karma
Life is compromise, sacrifice, instant karma. Everything you get is tied to everything you do. It’s the religion of the living, the here and now, if you want to see a little heaven you have to earn it.

No One
We would have regrets.
"I hope I did this or that instead."
But it is too late now,
the time has come, and we would have to go.
KAHIT MALAYO
Kahit anong mangyari kung puso man ay tapat, bilang ako lamang ay saiyo ay sapat. Kahit anong pagsubok, kahit anong problemang darating habang tayo ay isang milya ang distansya, hawakan natin ang pangakong binitawan sa isa't-isa.
