Nung nasa late 20s ako, habang nasa isang inuman, may tropa akong nagtanong ng isang makabagbag damdamin na tanong. “Men, ano yung pinakavaluable na maari mong ibigay sa isang tao?”. Sober ako nun, mag iisang taon nakong nag decide na mag quit sa alcohol nung panahon na to. Nag-isip ako saglit, humithit sa nakasinding yosi at sumagot. “Time, pre.” Simple pero may lalim. Straightforward. Hindi…

Anino ng kahapon Ang ilaw ng kasalukuyang Nakayakap sa panahon Kung saan mayroon lamang ay kawalan Ikaw ang ako Na pinaglumaan ng kaluluwa ko Ako ang ikaw Na sa hinaharap ay nais mong matanaw Walang dito ang direksiyon Na nakalaan para satin Walang tayo ang ngayon Kahit ikaw ay kahawak kamay pa rin Panandalian ang bahaghari na mayroon tayo Kalayaan sa paghimlay ang nais natin matamo.

Shorts #27 – Unquotable Quotes

When common sense is no longer common, And talk is neither cheap nor expensive, The fun part stays in never knowing, And fighting for love is nothing short of pathetic.

“How do you love?”

I love like a tectonic plate crumbling against another, I reach out to prove my presence until i break us both. I love like lightning kissing the bottom of an ocean, A rare moment of beauty that scars everything around me. I love like that silent earthquake occuring in the middle of a solemn sea, Visually unnoticeable until the waves engulf the world around you. I love like…

“Tieren Taozi: People who truly love would never leave.

GN-007 Arios: No, people who truly love may leave. Any person can be the right person. Any person can be worth the fight. But it isn’t the lovers responsibility to prove that the people they love is worth fighting for, worth staying for. You prove to your self that you love them and you’d fight for them. It’s on their side if they’re really…

As I lay hopeful next to a riddle Reaching for transition through the depths of my soul Believing that magic lives through your eyes I falter, engulfed by the thought of us Embracing the idea that I could live anew Gleeful, I cherish the time that I’ am next to you One more kiss before I long for you.

So, a while ago nabasa ko yung mga tweets ni Mariel de Leon regarding the drug war. Dont give an F about her comments about El Presidente nor the ones about Ms. Uson. But she made me realize that this is starting to be an epidemic. Dilawan ka man, Dutertard or Free Thinker, lahat ng pactions may sakit nito. The thing that got me writing about this bullshit is her “comments” on the drug war, on…

Short talk #3 – Love, Compromise, Death

R.K.: Uplifting naman ang love, as long as its genuine and true. Annie Boid: I beg to differ. That statement is pure bullshit. Love, in a way, is a form of identity suicide. R.K.: ang nega naman. Pano mo nasabi? Annie Boid: Simple lang. Love, when it is true and genuine, revolves around the concept of compromise. Compromise requires us to give a part of ourselves, to extinguish a part of our who…

Kumusta, ‘Dre?

“Kumusta, ‘dre? Tagal na din mula nung huli. Balita ko iba ka na ngayon. Binago ng dilim at ng panahon. Ikaw pa rin naman yan, Dama pa rin ang lungkot sa mga mata. Pero nagawa mong mabuhay sa kasalukuyan. Nagawang pekeng ginto ang mga pahina sa librong ikaw ang may akda. Sabi nila umiiwas ka pa rin sa tulong. Mandirigma ka pa rin, mag-isang lumalaban sa lungkot at depresyon. Pero kaya pa ba? Alam…

“Why Do You Write?”

“Why do you write?” A question coming from the mouth of a woman I’ve known for years that resonates through every crevice of my mind.   I actually do not know. Even I ask myself that. As a form of catharsis? A creative way of release? A method to express my true self? A way to reach out others? I looked for reasons in the pieces I’ve written. But none of them offered me a definite meaning. I’ve…
