Red Flag Alert: Dili Pa Ready Makilala si Bagets? (Single Mom Edition)

Okay, mga momshies! Let’s talk about dating. We all know, diba, na complicated ang single mom life. Single mom tayo, and that means our kids are our priority. Period. So, when it comes to dating, there are “red flags” that we want to avoid the earliest possible. And one of that is? If the guy we’re dating is… hesitant na makilala ang mga bata. Why is this a red flag, though? Kids are non-negotiable: Kung seryoso talaga siya sa’yo, dapat

Kailan ba “tama na” ang “tama na”?

Someone once asked me, how do you know when it’s time to let go? Kailan mo malalaman na tama na, kung kailan mo ba bibitawan ang pag-asang may patutunguhan pa ang lahat? Kung wala na yung dating tiwala nyo sa isa’t isa. Kung wala na yung respect na meron kayo para sarili at sa relasyon ninyo. Kung may iba na sya, iba na yung nagpapa-ngiti sa kanya. Kung hindi mo na kilala yung ikaw, yung ubos ka na. Sa sobrang

Fall in love, bittersweet love.

Just because it was bittersweet, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t love. When you love, it doesn’t necessarily mean it has to have a happy ending. We’ve watched too many Disney movies that we want all love stories to have that “they lived happily-ever-after” kind of ending. But life sucks and there’s really nothing we can do about it. Sometimes when we love, we know we’d eventually end up hurting but heck we still love. Sorry I just finished watching Midnight

Second chances and what not.

*Just another one of those long overdue posts that’s been sitting in my drafts for some time now.  Everybody deserves a second chance in this world. Tapos na. Sabi mo sa friends mo, okay ka na. Ayaw mo na talaga. Move on ka na nga eh. And then you’re driving one late night, some fvcking love song gets played on the radio, everything came rushing back in. Yung feeling mo na binuhusan ka ng balde baldeng nostalgia. You start to think about

When one “drunk” blogs..

Falling fvcking in love is a roller coaster of emotions. Fleeting emotions at that. Yesterday I felt so high, we were together. And then now, I feel like shit, I didn’t hear from you. And it’s not like the feeling is fvcking mutual you know. So yeah, why did I even think you’d talk to me today. So this is exactly why I’ve kept myself guarded for the past few years. The fvcking “feels”. The crazy thing is I even

Coffee mumbles

Today I took a quick look at the ex’s (the most recent ex) Facebook profile. I got curious after seeing him at the intersection near the office. I already knew he was in town, a common friend told me the other week. God I hate it when common friends tell me news about him. I told myself that it was going to a quick look only. And I lied. I dug deeper into the post and the comments. :D Photos of him and

A millennial in love, or not.

“I do want the facade of a relationship, but not the work of a relationship. I want that hand holding but not the eye contact, I want the teasing but not so much serious conversations. I want the pretty promise but a bit hesitant on the actual commitment. Of course I want to celebrate the anniversaries yet I wonder if I can do the 365 days that lead up to them. I want that happily ever after, but unsure about the

Relationships, affairs and infidelity.

“Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you.” – Confucius I’ve always believed that karma exists. Sometimes not as fast as you wanted it but still, it’s there, sulking in the dark and just waiting for the right moment. Which is why if I do something really drastic I always take into consideration if I would be okay if someone did the same thing to me. I’m no saint, I’m a bitch most of the time. But
