i come happy.

It’s crazy how something so little and so new could double everything about you --the fears, the joys and the sense of self.

Iniibig kita. Dalawang salita. Binubuo tayo. Andyan ikaw, pati ako. Hindi parirala; Merong simuno May panag-uri. Mula sa'kin patungo sa'yo. Iniibig kita.

To hear this, even just for once in this lovely lifetime... golden.

The Kind Wife: Aw, "marigna" pala.

Ikaw ay bituin. Minsan hindi, minsan ika'y akin pa rin. Sa pagdilim ng mundo, kadalasan umiikot pa rin sa alaala mo. Minsan pa'y hinila ko ang gapatak na liwanag mula sa kahapong pagsabog nito. Minsan hindi, minsan ako'y iyo pa rin, titingala at mananalig sa hiraya.

Starting your day by reading a terrible Facebook post is not cool. It makes me want to pull my inner Marx, not Richard, but Karl, and bombard thet Facebook friend with all the claws and paws I could give him out of my inner Marx. But I’ll be a bigger person. I’ll think about happy thoughts and try to get on with my day like Dorothy gliding about the yellow brick road.

I've realized how important reviews are for authors, sooo, adding this now to my resolutions: write a review for every book I've read.

Stargirl: (tingin non-chalant)

Stargirl to Self: Habang basa tyan palang sya, pupurga na ako ng knock knock jokes. Let's see.

The Kevinator: Bunot ka ba? Stargirl: Bakit? The Kevinator: (sabay tingin sa bangs ko) Kasi parang.

I just watched a film that warmed and gutted my heart all at the same time. I of course cried buckets and laughed real hard, most of all it left me thinking, what kind of parent would I want to be. Since I’m at the point of considering a child to add to our little family, this movie forced me to aspire to parent a well-rounded child, and it scares me for what do I know in molding a mind, question my own ideals and structures I followed since I was a child myself and if I should relay it ALL to my kids, on what The Kevinator has in his mind for child-rearing. All these essential thoughts and questions left me really excited and terrified. Ahhh, all the ironies this movie will put you into.

I sort of had an epiphany yesterday, if you may call it (better yet anti-epiphany) yung pakiramdam na parang I’m selling myself too high for the world. Looks like my insecurities are raking a leak again and I’m starting to cover it up with hubris. Hay.
