Love, Leonora


        I wasn't even ready for this, meeting you was never been in my itinerary. And you walked as if you knew me well. You even called me by my first name. And to my surprise, "Leonora" echoes beautifully in my heart. At first, yes, offending but later on it became the soundtrack of my life. The soundtrack that no one can sing the way you sang it. And in just a snap, you've become the songwriter I've been looking for.


I wasn't even ready for the tears falling beneath my eyes. I didn't even know why they were falling. As if there is a concept of you and me. My eyes were glued upon seeing you walking, my ears hear static sounds every time you were talking. My skin feels the chills as you pinched the elbow of my body. I didn't know why.

Honestly, I am scared of the fact that this will not end with a happy ending. But I knew that it will forever be a beautiful disaster. One word can change everything, so do your smile to change the whole. I was burned by the same flame twice and I don't want it to be thrice.

I was on the darker side of my life. And knowing you for a short period of time lights the path. Thank you for letting me smile every time you are near.

Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery

  "Tomb underground in Nagcarlan" or Nagcarlan's Underground Cemetery is a National historical landmark supervised by the National Historical Commission. I really can't believe that I saw this very historical place. I was like an old principalia lady walking around the Baroque style establishment wearing the traditional Maria Clara while holding a beautiful paraguas and abanico. It's very nostalgic indeed. I wanted to burst into tears because of the vast happiness the place brought me. Every brick and corners of the cemetery witnessed the changes in our history. On how people manage to stand even if they fall. On how they fought for the independence and on how do they achieved it. As I was walking, I was shocked by the scenery that the orange-brown ruin complimented to the clear blue sky. It was very magnificent it was like seeing it through a high-definition camera that doesn't need any filter to make it more beautiful. It is naturally fascinating. Maybe be

Dear Future Husband

          Hey there! Did you know that I am struggling now for having a dark life? I'm drowning in love with the wrong person. I gave him the love that I know no one can do to him. But he still hurting me unintentionally. But it's okay, it is my preparation so that if we meet sooner or later I will be well prepared to be hurt.  You will be my favorite place when my mind is searching for peace. You will be my sanctuary, my home. You will be my journal for this wonderful journey of ours. You will be my anchor when my ship began to sink, you will be my north star when I am missing.  When will you meet me, when will I see you?  You're going to be the person who'll be adding colors to my dark life You will be the person that one smile will definitely away. I want to lose myself with you and I want to find myself wanting to be lost without you. You will be the sun and I am the moon, we will never collide but there are moments called Twilight and at that moment we will meet

My friend, Gillete

Image
                             The monster inside of me wants to take over once again. Every time I’m depressed my friend, “Gillette” always wants to talk to me. While shaking I’m holding her hand for her to feel my wrist. I know she wanted to hear the beats of my pulse.  The first time we’ve got together a year ago, I heard her whispering in my ears saying this, that I’m not capable, that I am not good enough.  That everything is my fault. My questions are as deep as Mariana's. But my answers don’t fit the 4ft kiddie pool.  I am still clueless about my whys and ifs, should I wear floaters for me not to be drowned in my own infinity pool of sorrow.  That’s why I and my friend Gillette hold each other’s hands. While holding mine, I felt the eagerness of my friend to take away the pain.  Together with the blood, I saw the words, worthless, coward, unhappy, idiot, selfless. Cause I let my friend Gillette take away the pain. I shouldn’t have to call her that time. I should have called my
