Trepidation

I don’t feel like posting these days. My heart is heavy and my mouth slightly downturned these days. Trepidation. A word that brings dread to one’s heart. It’s like walking out from your building, looking at the dark hazy clouds from a distance and you feel that it’s going to rain. Rain real hard. Intuition. […]

Mine is the love that lasts for a lifetime. There are days when I’m in love with you but loving you is a constant. It’s always there. Don’t ask me when I started loving you. I do now and choose you to be its receipient.

Settle? Hell no!

“I’d settle for anyone,” my girlfriend the Actress wistfully moaned. “You’re very lucky Bonita but at least you have choices. It’s just that you don’t want your choices but at least you have SOME.” “Yes, but then again, if you think about it,” I argued. “They’re not choices if they’re not what you want. And […]

What I’ve Learned…

Do what you love with people that you like. That way, there’s no way you can lose.   The best way to get over an ex? Go cold turkey. Cut him off. Just let it go. Stop contacting him until you wake up and don’t even realize that the day has passed without even thinking […]

Too much honesty?

Books had always advised us to play hard to get. To not show our true selves. To not call even if we want to. To pretend we are someone we’re not just to get someone to like us. Today, I’ve broken these rules. I’ve revealed myself too much today. I metaphorically lie naked in plain sight […]

How do you know if a guy likes you?

Do you know what women usually talk about when we have our “girl talks?” Sure, we talk about the latest gossip and career plans, but basically, we also like to talk about relationships-who we’re dating, who is interested in us and who are merely in the “just friends” category but he’s nice so I’ll keep […]

According to my parents, I can now officially date. Back when I was younger, my parents encouraged me to focus on living my life first and keep my eyes open before finally choosing the One who will be with me for the rest of my life (romantic eh?). They felt that I can make a […]

Dear hon,

It’s hard to be in a long distance relationship with you. It’s tough. Especially for someone as tactile as I am, I’ve come to realize the past few days just how much I crave human contact. When I feel your hugs, I feel loved. When I have no choice but to hug my pillow, well, […]

So is this love?

A man whispers sweet nothings to your ear. His voice sounds sure. “I really really like you,” he murmurs. “From the moment I first talked to you, I immediately liked you. I’ve never been so sure in my life.” “I am unsure if I love you yet, but am moving to that direction,” he continues. “But […]

Disappointed.

Due to the rough financial market situation, my company is having a hiring freeze and job cuts are coming soon. The good news is that being an invaluable contributor to the team, I’m practically safe. Though you’ll never know how the winds would blow, for now, I practically have job security. The problem is this — my […]

Oh no.

I am starting to miss him. Do I miss him because as creatures of habit, missing something or something is natural whenever something is removed (if so, that’s truly bad of him)? Or do I miss him because I’m starting to care? Shit. Shit. Shit. Nonetheless, the reason is negligible. Two weeks shy of my […]
