I saw a funeral from my bed
The end of an old life and the start of another.
That's what the Buddhists like to believe.
To be reborn once again.
Station
But maybe it’s better to not know what the real reason is than to know that there’s nothing at all. And so, as I rode this train which reminded me of that day, I’m letting go of my what-ifs and giving up on trying to find the reasons in our break up that has now just become a memory I’d never want to remember again.
When It Hits Too Close To Home
I lost a friend 25 years ago. She was kidnapped from Goodfellow Air Force Base and raped and murdered. I have thought of her many times over the years and have prayed for her family. My heart still hurts more than I thought. The tears came so quickly at just the thought of her that I alarmed both my kids.

A Wrong Move
They say that when you are playing chess, you should study your moves well. Otherwise, it would be a checkmate! And this is how exactly the Philippine government feels with our current situation, the lockdown because of the pandemic, that is Covid-19.

ako ay nahuhulog sa iyo??
Yesterday is gone
I should never look back again and cry
This is the best for me if I don't wish to die
Past is done and shall never be repeated
Present is here and this is what I needed
BUCKET LIST
Just sing a happy song in public
With words you can't recall
Even if it's all wrong.
What with the secret heartache
You carry within
Forget about him and move on
Never look back
QuaranFLING – The New Normal
Personally, I think quaranFLING is a terrible concept (as most of the concepts of modern dating are), but it is important that we do some self-reflection before complaining about it. Because honestly, as much as I hate the concept, I am guilty of participating and enjoying it too. I, too, have been talking to some people just because I am bored, without any intention of escalating it into something more.
Choose YOU
You have a choice to stay away from negativity. You have a choice to change for the better. All of us have made mistakes, all of us have been hurt, it is up to you how you would like to move forward.
Shock
That moment when I looked
dozens of soldiers - just like me –
running inside the building,
And I froze.
My legs didn’t move.
My mind couldn’t make sense. I stayed back.
Mend
Mend A painting by Alison Albrecht Mend By: Kelli J Gavin Busted. Battered. Beat up. Broken. Blue. Is there a way? A way to mend? To mend this beleaguered heart? This heart that was given to me. Gifted to me.…
Tears
Not just drops of salty water
but remnants of painful slaughter
of heart and the soul perhaps the psyche
of a person who did not know the
way to beg for consideration or mercy
It’s Just A Game
Ferris Alizer was a closet geek. At work he seems proper and professional, just a usual adult doing his job well but whenever he went home after a long day, his only escape from the stressful society was playing games.
