love
his eyes, so peaceful whenever he looks at me
his eyebrows, so thick
his hair, curly, but in a way that I like to caress it for life
his lips, so perfect for mine
his nose, the cutest I've seen

I want to remember each and every detail of your face,
every quirk that you make when you're either
happy, sad, annoyed, or confused,
I want all of them remembered at the back of my mind

that when someone asks my future,
that would be my explanation.

maybe it's the adulting life that's slowly sinking in
maybe it's the harsh reality that makes anyone feel numb
or maybe it's just everyday that there's always a part that we need to be strong

but whatever it is,
whatever the world may throw,
or if everyone else is trying to bring anyone down,

I know that I will always have you,
and it's beyond unimaginable and surreal that you're patient with me,
that you still care for me,
and that you'll always be there,
in these tough times.

thank you for being with me.
I'm so glad you exist.

you can
I witnessed a specific type of bird today.
It was walking through the rocks in the sea, trying to mind and fight the waves.
All I was thinking was, "Can he do it?" not even keeping in mind if the bird has a destination.
"Will he do it?"
"Can he reach the end?" where the end isn't even known.
Then, when the bird reached the almost end of the rocks, I thought to myself, "Can he fly?"
Pure thoughts of hesitations and doubts flew into my mind.
And when the bird flew, I said to myself, "Oh, he can."
Which made me think, why did I doubt the bird that he can fly in the first place?
For today's realization, this bird taught me a lot of things. It taught me to not doubt anyone, and assume that they can't do it when they didn't even show you they tried. And I want to apply it to myself, that I doubted myself even before trying. That, even when the world tries to break me and doubt me, "I" should be the one to start believing in myself as I will always have myself.

sunset
there's this part of her that's always longing
always sad
always craving for something that will make her feel happy that she doesn't even know
it always comes knocking at her door,
unwanted

they say she needs to tend her own wounds
she needs to heal by herself
and she understands this, one hundred percent

but no one reminded her how hard it would be
how sad it could get
and how lonely it would feel
to heal by yourself
it's cool how a person can be someone's "almost" lifetime
like you're "almost" together, for the rest of each other's lives

i've been someone's "almost" lifetime
that right now, i don't want to go through that again
i don't want to be another's almost again

yes it's cool
but...

but it's way beautiful, out of this world,
and incomparable
to be someone's "certain" lifetime

it will always be you.
through the hardships, i'll still be choosing to love you
24/7, this and the next lifetimes, til our last breath

unhealed traumas, unbearable pains, untended wounds,
despite all of these, i want to be better
i want to love you right
i want to understand you
i want to take care of you, til the end of times

i love you
i miss you
i trust you
i appreciate you
i believe in you

i can say this with confidence,
that you're my person, and will forever be my person
i'm sure
you're my 911
you're the person i want to grow old with
you're someone my soul couldn't live without
i'm homesick without you

i'll be better
i'll heal
i don't want to lose myself
but most especially,
i don't want to lose you.

she
she
she’s always adjusting to what she feels about people.
she’s always trying to read the room, wherever she is,
not making her feelings and emotions her priority.
she’s good at making other people happy, listened to, cared for, and boosting their egos,
while forgetting herself in the process.
but she’s feeling that that will end now, quite.
she met someone,
that for the first time in her life, she completely,
wholly, absolutely, perfectly felt that she’s…
…a priority.
that she’s not alone.
that whatever she’s facing or about to face, she knows he’ll be there no matter what.
and it’s still unbelievable that there’s someone who’s as patient as him to wait for her,
to love her,
to understand her,
to care for her,
even when she’s the most complicated, unhealed, ill-tempered, capricious, and stubborn person that he’ll ever meet.

dump - from past;
"He was never the type of a patient man.
He always gets annoyed whenever something goes wrong
Abruptly, as if he didn't plan well enough.
He was the type of guy who will immediately give up
To the thing he knows he can handle by tomorrow.
He was someone that is somehow slightly feared by anyone
Judging from the cold stares he had given to others
Whenever their opinion doesn't match with his principles.
He was the type of man that was logical enough to weigh things before acting on his own will.

Until he met this woman.

She was the opposite of him.
A tragic combination of mood swings, capricious traits, and a train of overflowing emotions.
Her temper change so quickly that it would be a disgrace to match it up with a horse running full speed.
She always seeks for attention and assurance as if talking 24 hours a day isn't enough.
She... She's a disaster and storm in one.

Though there is a thing that they are similar on,
She is also not the type of a patient woman.

Later that night, she thought to herself,
"Am I that hard of a person to understand?"
"Am I that hard to love, that even my family is so conscious of their acts towards me?"
"Am I that complicated?"

Until she met him.

He suddenly became so patient, not everyone could ever expect it to happen.
She was inspired by the patience he gave, that her unpredictable emotions gradually became stable, little by little,
As if being logical was something she's born with.
He carefully tried to understand every word she spouts, every mood she acts, and every situation she is under, just to let her know that he is always there.
She also became stronger, voicing out her feelings to the world, and realizing that no one would really understand her if she doesn't speak up.
He became so soft as a bunny, that his wolf-state back then went so far away,
So far away, a naked eye can't even see.
She calmed herself down.
He lowered his guard down.
But only just for her.

Another night has passed, and she thought to herself again,
"I won't ask how but,"
"No one could handle myself, like how he handles me."

Still curious, she said to herself,
"That's a first, I dare say,"
"And that's enough.""
something i was proud that i did before, that other people truly appreciated, but the person i was talking about here didn't even realize how deep this work was. or maybe i'm just writing to the wrong person?

he
he makes her feel like she's the most interesting person he knows.
he makes her feel thousands emotions, as if being in love with him isn't enough.
he makes her feel like all of her emotions are valid,
that it's fine to feel this way, because of certain uncontrollable reasons.
he's always there, and it feels like 'love' is the safest word and feeling that he can bring to her life.

There are many cases that we met the ones we’re destined to, right person in wrong timing.
But is it really wrong timing?
We met, for the reason that we are to meet someday.
We met, for there is no other time than β€˜right now’ and β€˜at this moment.’
We met, since we’re living in this world full of lies and deception, that it would take time to know who is who.
We met, to prepare ourselves for something so grand, so magical, that God knows we’re not ready yet.
Wait, maybe that’s the right term.
Not wrong timing, but we’re not just ready.
We’re not ready, but time will tell.
We met, unprepared. And we meet again, still unprepared but now carrying one’s soul.
Bond grew tighter, as if connected ever since born.
We met, to know each other. And we meet again, to stay.
I love you.

how amazing it is,
to wake up, knowing someone is out there, out in the world, sipping their first coffee in the morning
knowing someone out there, out in the world, is about to go to sleep, having a genuine smile in their face
knowing someone out there, out in the world, having the best day of their lives

but, how lucky it is,
to wake up,
and to know that someone out there,
out in the world,
that loves you,
burns for you,
and cares for you,
more than you'd ever know.

Hearing him say I love you, felt like everything is okay.
All is fine, and I can be happy for the next million years of this lifetime, and next lifetimes more.
It makes my heart soft whenever he say those words in time when I didn’t expect it. Especially when he’s feeling sleepy, the time when he’s vulnerable the most. πŸ₯Ί

Him
Him
His existence felt surreal.
Reading his name makes her heart want to get out of her chest.
His voice, it's her favorite.
She could listen to him speak, if forever is possible she would.
She could stare at his eyes, and it would make her feel like she traveled millions of galaxies.
Like she traveled to every planet, every country, every place that exists in this universe.
He's her dreamcatcher.
She couldn't help but smile at his presence despite all the problems and nightmares this world could offer.
It's like, smiling and laughing are the most natural things to do in this world every time she's with him.
He's her sea.
She got sick of the land, the sea calmed her.
Her hidden expressions, hidden thoughts... he could read her like a book.
It's too early to tell, and she has no idea how to support her claim, but for her, he's her soulmate.
The string that she thought is temporary, after all these years, was still intact.
It's a string that, she knew in herself, won't get cut off.
No matter the time, location, timing, and instance they were.
It's just... there.
And would just be there.
Strings that are connected, not tight, but secure.
And if words could describe why and how it happened, she would.
Random message but it turned out to be the most beautiful piece that I have ever written. It's what they say, all that you do for love and with love resonates in all ways imaginable and unimaginable. I'll send this to him when I feel like it. I love this guy so much. And I feel like I won't ever love someone more than I've loved this person.

present
being appreciated is a privilege nowadays,
in a fast-paced world,
where everyone has high expectations
one mistake can invalidate all the right
thankful for the people who appreciates,
in a world full of expectations.
nowadays, i feel so overwhelmed, like everyday. it's hard to see the good in a day. i'm even scared to sleep because i know that when i sleep, it's going to be the next day where i need to go do the responsibilities needed for the day.

hoping that the time comes where uncomfort and fear will be my bestfriend. :)

change
are you scared, little one?
uncertainties,
changes,
uncomforts,
life.

what did you feel when you read those words, little one?
fear,
pain,
scared,
running away.

we often get scared,
we often get scarred.

but at the end of the day,
those words will always be there,
haunting us,
affecting us,
stirring us.

let's have the pain be the building blocks of our strength, little one.
change is something that we need to embrace.
everyday requires us to change. everyday has its new set of uncomfortable phenomenon that we don't have much choice but to change, to change to be able to face those uncertainties and uncomforts in life. it's tiring, it's painful, but change is something that won't leave us. change is something that we need to embrace.

tahanan
"Magpapaalam ka ba sa tahanan mo pag uuwi ka sa kanya?"
"Hihingi ka ba ng tawad sa bahay mo pag papasok ka sa kanya?"
these words meant something, something more than i could ever imagine. marami tayong naturing na na "home," "tahanan," "tirahan" pero 'yung talagang totoo **** tahanan, iba pa rin sa pakiramdam kapag nakauwi ka na.

it's time to completely let go,
quietly.
Here's to you: thank you for saying your apologies about what happened, and I appreciate that you still consider me as an important person in your life. After trying to think of what to do, I thought that maybe, not replying to you and just quietly move on with life is the best way to do. Mostly for me, but also for you. Here's to the last time that I'll be saying goodbye, and here's to the last time I will be saying sorry, and feel sorry for what I have done. Thank you so much for everything, my first ever friend.

black hole
meaningless,
it's so ironic that this word has meaning while calling itself meaningless

but maybe that's how life is,
people move,
animals survive,
things innovate.

but for what?
some may say it's for convenience,
for a better world to live in.
but is the world getting better?

day by day, we lose purpose and we gain some at the same time,
life is ironic, and yet has its own system
that people live, to live
and people survive, to survive

I don't even know the purpose of this writing
but these words keep pouring
trying to make sense, but don't make sense at the same time.

people come, people go
we cry, we laugh, we feel
sometimes emptiness comes,
and we came to the age where people usually say that everything that's happening is normal.

are all of these normal?
or are we just getting used to these?

An open letter to you
Hi.

I don't know why I just felt like writing to you today. It's 4:39 AM, and it's funny how I just re-read the last conversation we had, even though the only thing left is what you said.

Well, I'm writing to say that I've finally healed. I can finally say this, that I've completely healed. And with this, I wanna say (from the bottom of my heart) that I'm sorry. I said plenty of hurtful words that you don't deserve. You've been kind to me, you were there when I needed someone to listen, you became a friend to me. A true friend, and what did I give back in return? Pain. There's no enough sorry to remove the sins I did to you. I'm still bothered by what I did actually. I kept saying to myself that that's the only way that I can forget, but it's funny how up until now I can't forget. Maybe it's karma for me. That I can't forget a person that made me feel special. So, I apologize once again.

It's really funny how after six months there's still no changes in my life. I'm still stuck in my room. The words I said before, like how I would like to talk to you again after six months, I was hoping that my life would be better. But yep, after six--no seven actually, I still am here, stuck. And I still can't trust other people, and the person I've thought when I'm not okay and I'm in a fight with my bf, is you. You're the only friend I've considered in this life. But, I hope that soon I can meet other people who I can trust the same thing as how I trusted you.

And I also wanna say, even though it's ironic and hypocrite of me to say, that I hope you're happy. I hope you're smiling. I hope you have someone to tell your small and trivial things again. From the very bottom of my heart, I hope you're smiling genuinely. And I hope those people you trust and keep won't betray or leave you.

isang tula
Isang tula na para sa'yo.

May isang manunulat na nagsimulang maghanap ng bagong panulat,
Matapos itapon ang mga nakaraang panulat.

Sa kanyang paghahanap, marami ang kanyang nahanap,
Isang panulat na galing sa isang masakit na nakaraan,
Isang panulat na nagbibigay kasiyahan
At isang panulat na delikado gamitin.

Pero sa lahat nang kanyang nahanap,
May isang panulat na nagpapadama ng kakaibang pakiramdam,
Isang pakiramdam na may kakayahang mag-sulat ng kwentong aakma sa isang pahina
Ang pahina kung saan tinutukoy ang estado ng manunulat.

Halos lahat ng panulat na nahanap ng manunulat
Ay ayaw niya itong mawala
Ayaw niya itong pakawalan
Ayaw niya itong ipagbenta sa iba.

Pero itong panulat na kasalukuyan niyang ginagamit sa isang pahina,
Itong panulat na ito ay kakaiba
Dahil sa, handa itong ibigay ng manunulat sa iba
Handa siyang mawala ito,
Hangga't nagagawa nito ang kung anong nararapat.

"But, I'm thankful that it's with you,"
"If it's you, it's enough,"
I kept these words of yours with a safety lock,
whenever we have an argument that even Greek gods and goddesses can't comprehend.

Sometimes we talk about future.
'Pressured' is not the term you felt whenever I spoke of that word.
You show reality to me instead and try to give me reassuring words,
focusing more on the present.

Future is something I like to talk about.
Consistency is something I treasure most.
You aren't scared of both,
and you are willing to give them to me without hesitation.

I'm spontaneous and you know it.
You know I love talking about fantasies, destiny, and everything that isn't logical at all.
And you remembering the small things that I say makes my heart dance.
Promising to do them with me is an icing on the cake.

This year will be tough, tougher than the last,
but we can get through this.
Like the "Start Up" k-drama that we last watched,
we can also do this.
We will be successful!
Law of attraction!

Just some series of words I wanna start this year though he won't read this since he doesn't visit this website. While I'm writing this, I'm watching him focusing, and dancing and singing randomly, through screen. Haha.

emotions vs thoughts
'emotions' are louder,
and stronger,
than 'thoughts'

people who can control the former are powerful
but,
people who can understand the former
are beyond comparable, and beyond powerful
and the world needs more of them.
to those people who can easily invalidate people's emotions and dramatic approach, I thank you. for sometimes, those people need to feel extreme emotions and dismay to get away from your type of people.

and to those people who can be patient and understand people's emotions and does not invalidate them, I thank you with all my heart. the world really needs more of you.
