When I was 16, I asked God for a sign. I told Him, "if this certain suitor gave me 2 white roses and a red rose, he's the one." A few months later, on Valentine's Day, he gave me a bouquet with 3 pink roses. I told myself, he's the one. Because red + white … Continue reading Of Prayers, Signs, and Waiting
Some time near the end of September, my colleague, Stephen, passed away from Acute Myeloid Leukemia. I started working with him in July, so it wasn't really a long working relationship. But please allow me to post this despite that. Stephen is really nice, and I'm not just saying that. He's easily paranoid, something he … Continue reading DAILY: Me on Losing Someone
I’ve always seen vulnerability as a weakness. People hurt and get hurt, it’s reality. And pain is not the best feeling for someone who can’t embrace their vulnerability. It’s easily and poorly understood as a form of being a weakness, isn’t it? When you try to keep yourself and your feelings sturdy and strong all the … Continue reading DAILY: You are Best Vulnerable
I'm in that moment again. Contemplating about what I'm doing with my life. It's sad really. 2016 is closer to an end by the day; which means I'm getting another number add up to my age; where I know I wasted another year; and where I'll again question what I did. I swear it's a never-ending … Continue reading DAILY: Wee Woe
The digital age today is becoming more and more influential and social media goes on top of all the fuss. From celebrity chismis to political news, we all have it complete on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a whole lot more channels. And it's both a good and a bad thing. For the past month, screenshots … Continue reading 5000 likes, 2500 comments, 2500 shares
It’s been a few weeks since buying a new camera to replace my retiring Nikon came to mind. I was able to save up for the current unit I’m eyeing... but (yes, there’s always a but) it’s also almost my sister’s new semester. So I’m gonna admit I pondered over something which lead me … Continue reading Why I Don’t Wish I Was Born Rich
I feared that loving someone and losing someone are the extremes of feelings. That there’s nothing that can make things any happier or any more painful. I was wrong- there are so many in-betweens. This is for the 30-day writing challenge I’m currently doing. I was naive. Just graduated my way out of high school. … Continue reading Looking Back to 5 Years Ago
Movies that stick to you. That even though you know how it ends and that won't forever change, somehow, it still gets to you. And somehow, rewatching it again and again still brings the same warm feeling inside you. This is for the 30-day writing challenge I’m currently doing. I haven't exactly watched that much … Continue reading Movies I Never Get Tired of Rewatching
Today, I learned that my colleague Stephen is diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, he's confined in the ICU and is currently in a really bad state. Prayers would be greatly appreciated. Somehow, it sank in. Life is unpredictable. To be honest, Stephen and I aren't really close and been only working together for 2 short … Continue reading Me on My Thoughts of Living (and How God Gives Us Trials)
What's in it for me? or you? or anyone? This is for the 30-day writing challenge I’m currently doing. My tailor's dad passed away last March. I wanted to help, even just little cash would be something. So I sent her some. I wasn't thinking of anything in exchange for that because I can … Continue reading We are All Selfish
