Bata pa kami inaaway na niya ko. Kinukurot. Sinisilipan. Binabato ng eraser. Napipikon ako lagi. Umiiyak. Nagsusumbong sa teacher. Nung grade one umiyak ako kasi hinila niya yung pigtails ko. Isang beses nung grade three hinila niya yung upuan ko kaya napaupo ako sa sahig. Minsan nung grade five niregla ako, nakita...
It’s that time of the year again. For lovers, it is the time to celebrate love. For single people, it is the time to be hopeful to find someone someday. For businessmen, it is the time to sell sweetness at a reasonable price. But for recent dumpees like me, it is nothing but pure horrible hell. Ugh. Valentine’s Day.
May pagseselosan siya, mag-aaway kami. May pagseselosan ako, mag-aaway kami. May ginawa siyang bullshit, mag-aaway kami. May ginawa akong bullshit, mag-aaway kami. Konting di pagkakaintindihan, away. Konting away, break. Paulit-ulit. Paikot-ikot. Nakakapagod din.
Sometimes I wish I had arms so I can wrap it around her shoulders. I wish I had fingers so I can hold her hand in mine. I wish I had a tongue that can tell her how beautiful I think she is, no matter the time of day. I wish I had lips so I can kiss her again and again. Maybe then, I could make her feel less alone.
Gumawa ka na ng account. Nag-upload ka na ng istorya. Dumalaw ka na sa iba-ibang clubs. Napapagod ka na rin sa kaka-copy paste ng link ng istorya mo kung saan-saan. Wala ka pa ring reads. Pa-give up ka na ba? Basa na!
"It's like reading a book, but you get to know how it ends right there in the first page." If you know how it ends, would you still do it?

Minsan sa buhay, makakahanap ka ng pag-ibig. Hahawakan mo, aalagaan mo, itatago mo hanggang kaya mo. Pag naubos, wala ka nang magagawa kundi magparaya. Buhay nga nagtatapos. Relasyon pa kaya?
They say that it’s wrong, but what do they know? Hindi nila tayo kilala. Hindi nila alam kung anong meron tayo. Hindi nila alam kung anong nararamdaman natin. Hindi nila alam kung anong pinagdadaanan natin, para lang maging masaya. Mahal mo ako. Mahal din kita. Yun lang naman ang importante, di ba? (PLEASE READ A...
There was something about him. A certain calmness, a certain warmness, like someone you would be comfortable with from first meeting. I never once spoke to him, but I felt comfortable with him nonetheless. I could not even start to explain it, but there was something about his aura, that keeps me at ease. In a sea of...
"I kept my promise, Sweetheart." A celebration of a love that span decades.
Ang daming SAYANG sa mundo. Mga pagkakataong napalampas, mga bagay na nabalewala. Pero taliwas sa paniniwala ng marami, hindi SAYANG ang ending ng kuwento. Climax lang yun, depende pa rin sayo kung titigil ka na dun o ipipilit mo pa ring iabot sa HAPPY EVER AFTER.
A quiet conversation between two (almost) strangers, and the crashing of the waves.
We sleep around occasionally but we don’t know each other that much, hence we don’t have to put up with each other’s crazies. He doesn’t look like he wants a commitment and I’m not exactly fabulous with relationships either, and would rather not be in one. It works both ways really. Until, well, it got out of hand.
She cares about him a lot. He cares about her a lot. One drunken night they kissed. This is a love story. Well, almost.
A heartbreaking short about loving someone who's already into someone (or something) else.

THE BANDIT She merely meant to steal and get away with it. She did not mean to find a dying woman and be chased for it. She merely meant to help. She did not mean to be dressed in a gown and be a target for murder. THE GUARD He was tasked to chase them. He was not expected to work with them. He merely meant to pay f...
A writer. A weird stranger. A lot of little conversations. An online understanding. Every night. 23:11.
A (not-so) hopeless romantic writer. A weird (not-so-much of a) stranger. A lot of (denying) feelings in between. A (continuation of the online) connection that ends on 11 / 23.
