“Everybody who wanted to be a writer and didn’t become one failed based on one of two critical reasons: one, they were lazy, or two, they were afraid. Let’s take for granted you’re not lazy. That means you’re afraid. Fear is nonsense. What do you think is going to happen? You’re going to be eaten by tigers? Life will afford you lots of reasons to be afraid: bees, kidnappers,...
What happens if you fall in love with a writer?
karenfelloutofbedagain:
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or make love at four in the afternoon. They might not sleep at all. Or they might...

2011 Goals
Decluttering my 2011 memories. It suddenly hit me that I’ve slid a small paper in my wallet last January 2011. 2011 GOALS, it was entitled. I came looking for it, only finding out that my wallet doesn’t have a single penny. Only pieces of paper, most of which do not have any sentimental/monetary value. Sad life.
And so I found this small piece of paper. I remembered taking a glimpse...

Oh well perhaps
Perhaps, they’re right. You’re not really worth chasing. You’re just a waste of time. Why should you be chased when you do not intend to chase any girl. All you do is unintentionally breaking their hearts by showing your mere indifference. Masking being flirty with being friendly.
Perhaps, they’re right. I am wasting my time. All these years, I’m hoping for nothing,...
Top 50 Questions To Ask Yourself (Part 1)
This is inspiring for me. I will try my best to answer each question with pure honesty and with all my might.
These questions have no right or wrong answers.
Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
— I think, 22. Just random number but I guess my maturity level is beyond my present age.
Which is worse,...

Time is a river… and books are boats. Many volumes start down that stream, only to be wrecked and lost beyond recall in its sands. Only a few, a very few, endure the testings of time and live to bless the ages of the following.

Long-awaited messages
Finally received Tonton’s emails! Now I know why it took me so long before I received them. It’s a date error! His emails were dated November 10 and 11 and so they did not appear in the latest emails.

The Word: A performance of The Bible
During the second week of December (6-9), the UP College of Arts and Letters celebrated its week, so called CAL week. We were welcomed with an awesome opening last December 6 at the Claro M. Recto Hall, doubled with tummy-satisfying meals. Also, the UP SPECA performed on the said opening.
On December 8, the Department of Speech Communication and Theater Arts (DSCTA) offered an eventful...

Midnight Hardwork
Since the break started, I started to stretch bones (talking about magbanat ng buto) and make long hours of productivity through RareJob. And I am happily fulfilling it.
I am more than glad to say that Christmas break exists. Since the year I first experienced this “break”, I began conditioning myself that it’s synonymous to rest, happiness, and literal repose (in bed) all day....

No more letter writing.
Guess what? I just wrote you a letter tonight. The weirdest thing about this letter writing drama is that I am not really fond of writing letters. I find it boring, tedious, and drab. But I love receiving letters even from the most insignificant person in my life but the thing is, I do not love writing back.
AND I JUST WROTE YOU A LETTER.
Don’t gloat or feel that you’re too special...
On Pointing Points
These past few weeks, my tumblr has been left dusty definitely because so many things have happened. And so, just to get rid of the those dusts, even a bit, here’s a new post which contains pointless points :)
For some strange reason, no mystical thoughts are coming across my mind. I have really been wanting to write about my loss (or perhaps your loss, too), my sembreak which started just...
I love you. →

My good friend Gia texted me last night with a shocking news: one of her closest friends, Given Grace, was dead.
I honestly thought it was some sick joke, but then the details of her brutal death came flooding in on Gia’s text messages and, this morning, I found this.
I’m not even sure…

I’m thinking of the best way to get over this resentment. First, because it seems so irrational of me not to be open-minded about other people’s criticisms and just simply snob them, even scorn them. Well, for this particular instance, I really cannot accept the fact that that person just simply threw a handful of undesirable criticisms at me without even considering other factors that...

Reading your blog made me rethink my past

I read your blog. I don’t even know how I was able to reach that site but anyway, I run through this particular post and it made me reminisce some things in my past.
To tell you honestly, Broad Comm was also my first choice. Being a broadcaster was my first love. Since my grade school days, I’ve been joining...

I feel so blessed today. Despite all the obstinacy and resentments, I was still able to pull this day off.
The feeling of guilt is creeping upon me. Yet, I am still very thankful for amidst the fatigue, a happy day this has been.

You never really know where life will take you. It’s unpredictable. When you can no longer bear the burden, you just wish you could really fly and escape the unbearable reality. But think why...

Skin Deep
Without sweat,
she captures anyone’s attention
The world dotes on her
without her intention.
She’s inherently,
enthralling,
captivatiing,
entrancing.
When she walks by, even the most dazed stare.
While in insecurity, I glare.
Who’s to blame for that deceitful sight?
Is it innate or just a worldly desire?

Back in high school, you were there each time I was idle. Gossips were our ice-breakers. Though some were judging us, we did not care at all. As long as we were happy, nothing could get in our way.
Now, we rarely see each other. No more updates, no more issues. Yes, a sign of maturity. Indeed, one of us has just gone through something that marked the onset of real maturity. ♥ Miss you all,...
You let things slip through your fingers when you had all the chance to hold them tight and make them all yours. I wonder how you feel while everything falls apart right before your eyes. I’m still here, though.

One Boring Day.
Swinging High and Real Low
I’m not really in the mood to right today. For one, I do not have anything interesting and fascinating in my mind right now. The only thing I am thinking right now is TGIF. Thank God really it’s Friday night and I do not have to worry about tomorrow for it will be a Saturday.
This day literally drained my energy. Let me narrate to you my day today— how I was so energetic this...

Oh Hey, September
ilovekashilario:
From sharing stories with friends while sipping UniversiTEA’s strawberry milk tea to embracing the glorious allure of U.P. (both in morning light and afternoon glow), here’s a couple of random snapshots from the past few days:
I guess life is still good.
Vanishing Chimera
Now I’m letting the sentiments drift away,
Allowing myself to wander and explore the days.
Finally right before my eyes it occurred,
How much pain it has caused.
The long wait transforming into drudgery.
From this, I desire to be free.
Now you enjoy your life,
Be happy and always look for love.
♥
I’ve been getting the same feedback lately and I’m beginning to get bothered about it.
Do I really exude a very strong personality? And is that even a good thing?

Because you have an unfounded sadness
Hi friend! I cannot post anything like this on facebook or twitter because I think you want your depression to be confidential for now.
First, I want to apologize if I behaved so cheerfully this afternoon, bragging my happiness brought by the relief of knowing deadlines for me are already over. When you left me in the jeep, I realized after some moments that I should have just toned down my...
Speech 138 Interview
One of my major classes, Speech 138, required us to interview a foreigner to widen our knowledge about foreign culture. Speech 138, by the way, is all about cultures and how they clash.
To tell you frankly, I had a hard time looking for an interviewee since I compelled myself to look for someone who was from Europe or anywhere in the West. God really loves me that after hours of sending messages...
