The sun went down and I felt down. The moon showed up. I'm still up. I was getting drowsy and was beginning to droop. Then I thought about you. WRITING... It's been only months but it feels like age...

Rainy day makes me want to write it away

It is raining again. And in this rain my mind tells me that I write. It was few weeks ago when I wrote about our short meet up with my friends. And it was raining that time. This afternoon, we set...

Friends and Bliss

As early as infancy to childhood, we make bonds with people around us. And happenstance leads us to people we are meant to cherish for the rest of our lives. It happened that I had people I regularl...

How long can one endure?

Before we met for a lunch date, I asked her on messenger what's up with her or them. She chose to suspend crying. She doesn't feel like doing it over the phone. The day of the scheduled meetup, she...

Meeting up with a friend after the storm

Hi! It's me, after a long long while. I've hibernated. Or maybe, just lost my motivation. What is more depressing than losing the motivation to write? Good thing my sister suddenly asked about BCH p...

Be Calm and Smile to Yourself

It's been a while since I last voiced my mind. I had some sort of blocks and fear and 'I don't know how to explain' feelings. I am glad. You know. After everything that has happened in my life, here...

Cave of Redemption

Unexpectedly, it became my redemption place. I was put in a cave some time ago. I was there not because I wanted to. But I was placed there by the circumstances that surrounded me. This is not to re...

No goodbye please

There is an ache I feel deep inside. I read the article of Rusty and there is a bitter-sweet taste. It is not really about the rewards but I just feel so attached to this platform that even though th...

Someone I know is losing interest in life; the same is refusing to let joy evaporate forever

(So I have been writing this article forever. Changed the title what seems like a million times. Now I'm settling with whatever will be published when this will be published.) Losing desire I jumped...

'Going beyond' wasn't gold and black just because I wore maroon

And I am thinking of continuing with my 3000-word mark. While thoughts overflow and inspiration and kindness abound. I may just stop at 1000 for now but I will still try in the coming days, weeks, or...

Every day is a real battle

Every day is a real battle. One thing or another. Keeps getting hold of an eye or an ear. I can't let my heel be grabbed on but it was held onto anyway. Any site I look at, I see a sigh coming out of...

Preparing for a 3000-word strike

Aha, not so sure if my title means me right but I wanted to write in the near future of a nice article with at least 3000 words. Well, for now this is a very short one. But I will gradually increase f...

Been Chilling!!!

Last week on Monday, I had to be absent to take care of my son. He had a cough and mild fever. I brought him to work the following day. I didn't send him to school yet because I planned to get him to...

Some reasons I keep things I don’t ‘use’

Why do I keep ancient things? Photo from Unsplash. Also used as lead image. Not really ancient. I was just exaggerating. I would keep books and notes and all even though I don’t really read or use...

Writing a four-minute article on my birthday

I am writing at the moment on my dingy bed. The bed that my husband told me to always put up after I have risen but then I feel that it is just too much of a chore to even fold the blankets. Yes, this...

You will never be good enough

So you have been complimented. Actually, a lot. You hear them say you are good. They often see you with appreciative eyes. But then, you don't feel it in your bones. You feel devalued. You don't appr...

Today I write, tomorrow I might not

For today, allow me to be just this. I am tired. But not of the body. My mind is weary, my heart is restless. My soul needs to search for what is and what should be. What is the essence of my being?...

Old posts did a good job of returning the smile on my face

Yesterday, I happen to stumble upon my blog on another platform. I ended up being entertained by my own clumsy posts that I had painstakingly created years before. I was thinking last night, "Oh well....

The prize of knowing how to

Well, it was his prize for learning to set passwords. My six-year-old boy insisted on learning where to change the phone security code. I mindlessly taught him even though I expected this scenario. O...

Be passionate, be a human with a heart (dentist trauma and guilt of a mother)

The dentist was rushing the tooth extraction. I should have appealed. But words were lost. I thought bad. Dentists shouldn't be rushing their job. It was a traumatic experience for my 6-year-old. The...

The things we shouldn't have done

For one of the rarest times, I enjoyed an afternoon meal and then coffee with my colleagues. That was yesterday... A Friday. Come to think of it, it was supposed to be a busy day but the schedules we...

Aching to write

And yes, not pressuring oneself into writing for the sake of writing is a good way to rest. I have a lot I want to say and I guess my list of topics expanded. I was trying to publish last time but I...

When the time is ripe

I writhe in pain. Not knowing why. I ask myself over hundred times. I do not know the answer. I ask myself why. I can't arrive at my fantasized time. I can't complete my pursuits. I look at them and...

Buying books for around $20

When was the last time you read a book? How about the last time you bought one? I am still into printed books more than electronic versions of such. I have downloaded digital copies of novels before...
