This is to:
Everyone I met and
Everyone I lost.
Every stranger I passed and
Every stranger who gazed.
Everyone who stood beside me and
Everyone who left me hanging.
Everyone who made me feel alive and
Everyone who wanted me dead
Everyone who’s still with me and
Everyone who plans on leaving. Everyone who appreciates my flaws and
Everyone who sees nothing but my flaws.
Family, friends,...

Groceries
Today I realized how tough it was to go grocery shopping. As a child, I saw grocery stores as a wonderland. Riding the trolleys and knowing where what is, shopping was a breeze. Now, it appeared as if the grocery wonderland I knew turned into this battlefield-slash-maze.
I had a pretty tough time looking for marshmallows. MARSHMALLOWS. I looked at every aisle and went around the store for the...

UPCAT
I see frazzled seniors. I see tension. I see nerves.
I foresee sleepless nights, palpitations, doubts, confidence and a whatever-happens-happens attitude.
I know how it feels. I wasn’t able to celebrate the New Year’s Eve properly. Second-guesses and what-ifs devoured my entire being. You hear your heartbeat through your ears, your hands and other limbs remain cold and shaky. You...

Scratches
I have these weird and plump scratches running along my back. I do not recall any record of getting any of them. It burns and some are still fresh, you can see the blood seeping through the ruptured skin.
Yeah, I thought of Black Swan, too.

Death by Phlegm
Hear heavy breathing,
your lungs deteriorating,
wheezes, crackles — stops.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Read that in a nasal and elf-like yet whimsical tone. The annoying type. :)

Explosions
It’s unusually quiet here in our neighborhood. I remember hearing sounds from boisterous explosions to the tiniest crackle in the air. A surefire sign that the holidays are in the conveyor belt. But now, it looks like Silent Hill out there: gloomy, foggy and quiet with a sprinkle of flickering lights.
I guess they were dead serious about firecracker and fireworks banning. It’s going...
Watchmynamekyle:
Do you guys remember the time I was a senior in high school and had to create a commercial for my economics class and so I produced this and showed it to the class and nobody laughed except for me but I still got an A and my teacher kept the DVD to show to his classes every year? Because I do.
That is so fierce.

Sonnet XVII
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love...

Winter Solstice
Today, the Philippines will experience a longer span of nighttime. Total darkness overcasts at 5:32 p.m. of December 22 and will end at 6:16 a.m, December 23.
Interesting. Bring out the vampires or should I say, ‘aswangs’ for that 30 Days of Night 13 Hours of Night feel.

I'd rather be well-read than popular.
Do you see the connection I’m trying to establish?

Anonymous asked: Is it your birthday?

I wish a lot of 12 year olds were like her. She’s someone that makes me believe that the future is still intact and that the future won’t face a tragic turmoil.
Her use of punctuation marks were on-point, her proper capitalization and exquisite choice of words woo’d me. I felt inferior after reading her posts.

Let's (not) Get Physical
No, Olivia Newton-John, I do not want to get Physical.
I always rant about how I hate doing anything physical. I abhor strenuous activities that require constant motion and anything that has to follow a beat or rhythm.
I’m an alien to what these ill-bred lifeforms call ‘dancing’. I have one right and three left feet.
What I’m trying to say is that I got an 85 in my...

Everyday
Everyday I trample upon the vast oceans of irony.
Everyday I bask in the lavishness of falsity.
Everyday I breathe the air that reeks hypocrisy.
I should be reviewing. Why am I stringing words together that does not even make sense and still have the audacity to call it ‘creative writing’? I try so hard, I fall even harder.

They should sound something like this ”Oh my, *insert expression* by Verdote, 2011.”
