My wedding song list – ungoing edit!

My list has no particular order, just whatever comes into mind. 1. Who can resist Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud? The lyrics alone makes you want to find the guy who’d say something like; “And, darling, I will be loving you ’til we’re 70. And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23. And I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways. Maybe just the touch of a hand. Well, me—I fall in love with you every

That 30 before 30 bucket list!

I guess this is unavoidable and long time coming, with the birthday month looming over me, this post was bound to happen. I suppose when your birthday is just around the corner, there are those moments when you re-think what have you done in your life that’s really worth remembering when you’re six feet under or gone with the wind (assuming ipa-cremate ka sa imong pamilya ig kamatay nimo). You see, this “profound” evaluation of oneself is fated. This is my

Di Bale Na.

“But I don’t want nothing at all, if I ain’t got you baby…” Naalala na naman kita at sya. Sabi mo kasi yan yung naalala mo na madalas nyang kinakanta. Nakakainis isipin kung gaano kita kadalas naalala sa isang araw. Sa pagtulog, pagkain at sa work. Kahit nga sa mga calls ko, naalala ko na dati mo ako inaasar na nakikipaglandian sa callers ko.Dami ko naalala sa’yo, mga araw na nasa Manila pa ako. Unang-una, kinunan mo ako ng picture nung

Nothing is as it seems.

We were driving one late night, from a friend’s party and heading home. Listening so some song and not talking. Everything was okay, we didn’t have a fight recently or some argument at all. Everything seemed pitch perfect, it was that kind of night described in books where you’re together enjoying the night without speaking yet hearts are in sync.But it was the complete opposite. As we drove in silence and that Taylor Swift came on, I realized that we’ve

There Is No Such Thing As Equal Love: Why The One Who Cares Less Always ‘Wins’

Pat Benatar said it best: “Love is a battlefield.”  Some have said that people don’t like relationships, but rather, the drama of them. And anyone who has been in a relationship knows that it’s nothing but drama.Unless you’ve gotten to that point where both of you are so perfect and compatible that you marry each other, every relationship is doomed for not just failure, but a nasty power struggle.The beginning, middle and end of every relationship is about establishing power.

Day 218

7 months, 6 days or 218 days since the crappiest breakup I ever had in my whole life, I rethink if I have really moved on. It’s not that I haven’t done this a thousand times since but today seems like a good day to do it again. I blame it on Jason Mraz’s newest album of love songs. While listening to his Love Someone, I tried so hard to feel if there’s still pain inside and I am glad

Memories

The brain stores memories in different ways. Short term memories, where you left the keys, the name of the girl you picked up at the bar last night, are managed by the hippocampus. But the hippocampus doesn’t keep them for long. It kicks them out into the cortex where they strengthen or weaken depending on how often you visit them. Everytime you access a memory, neurons are activated and that memory grows stronger. But ignoring a memory for too long,

Struggles of a Single Mom

It’s been crazy these past days, I had to juggle 3 jobs at the same time – one full time job and 2 online jobs. Hans’ father only gives 5k a month, not even half of Hans expenses. And I got so pissed this month because he’s weeks delayed with his financial support.This week has been draining. I only had 200 bucks and Hans’ milk and diapers was only good for the night. I had to find a way to
