To My Future Lover

To my future lover: I will not let you down. I will take extra care of you. I will hold your hand for every opportunity I could get. I will smother you with kisses, and I don't care if I'll kiss you on the lips in front of everyone. I'll listen to your day with …

Let’s say the name starts with M.

I met someone. It's a she. She told me she like me so much. We haven't met yet, though. We're still planning too. The thing is, I'm not feeling it. She tries to talk to me almost every day. We asked each other about our hobbies, talents, and our likes and, mind you, nothing ever …

I am weak.

If that is the case, then I am the weakest person I have ever known. I'm an only child. My cousins are way older than me. When I was born my maternal cousins were already in college, with their girlfriends. My paternal cousins live far away from me. I became close to my mother. When …

This thought has been in my head for days. For the past 2 years, a number of people I know have passed away. I've also been to a number of funerals within those years. Of course, in a funeral, there's always the eulogy. During those moments, have you ever discovered yourself crying over the person …

Do you get that feeling when, after someone so good, so perfect, breaks your heart and you feel, you think, you'll never meet anyone like her/him the next time? Like you feel and think that s/he is the only one of her/his kind? Yes, people are unique and individual but have you ever thought of …

Headstrong

After more or less than a year, I would be walking up the stage to get my diploma. Some, if not all, of my classmates would graduate as cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude. Some, if not all, in the IRFS track, will be one of those three. Maybe, I'm not in there. …

The Joys and Woes of Studying in a University

Most os us, if not all, would proceed to get a degree after high school. Well, in my generation's case (or maybe in my culture's case), it is mandatory. Mandatory because K+12 is not yet implemented and people will look down on you if you don't have a degree. But wait, it's not just an …
