Snow Flurry.
It is almost midnight, and I was woken up with the odd chilly temperature here in Cincinnati.* This has been the coldest temperature I have been into. My phone’s weather app dictated its -2 degrees Celsius. I looked through the window, and it was raining. First time. “That’s snow!” I gasped. I realized I am seeing […]
MoreDoble Vista
‘Ingat.’ Yan ang automatic kong sinasabi, sabay tapik sa balikat mo sa tuwing uwian. Ngunit di ka tumango sabay talikod para umakyat sa footbridge patawid sa kalsada pauwi sa inyo. Ngayon ay natigilan ka. Lagi naman kitang sinasabihan nun sa tuwing uuwi at maghihiwalay tayo sa footbridge na ito. Nagulat ako dahil sinasalubong mo ang […]
MoreThe Best.
I always wanted to be the best. As you walked down the aisle, where I was waiting, every step you make closer to the altar reminded me of how our friendship blossomed. Years ago, when I was still nursing a broken heart and crying my heart out to you, you would always tell me that I […]

Inaalala ko kung paano ka nagpaalam sa akin kanina, “Aalis na ako.” Bigla mong pinutol ang tawanan natin habang kumakain tayo sa paborito mong carinderia malapit sa […]
MoreInsignificant.
Please do not leave your valuables unattended. A tear in my eye almost fell when I read that sign at the coffee shop where we had our breakfast right after that race we did for a good cause. The race was set 5:55AM, but you and I arrived an hour early. You told me that […]
MoreBlissful Pit Stops.
Just this February, I traveled north and south to search something I have lost, five years ago. Galera Getaway. First stop was Puerto Galera. I was trying to find the Happiness I haven’t had in a while. I went swimming and snorkeling, trying to find that feeling I longed for through the fishes and corals […]
MoreEquinox.
After today, nights shall be longer and days shall be shorter. That is the Autumnal Equinox. Ever since I started spending time with you,every day has always been a long day for me. An hour seems like eternity whenever you are beyond my reach. A minute feels like years of not setting my eyes on […]
