When love hits you hard, it will really stay for good. Or so they say.  I never thought that at this time, I will be writing about something that I dreaded to talk about for the longest time,  and that is, being in the state of being in love and loved in return. It is a sad thing that most of the time, people tend to underestimate the power of being loved back, due to the powerful and unabashed effect of love to most individuals. I am, as a matter of fact, one of its unsuspecting victims.  I fell in love with someone I never really had expected to be in love with. Against all odds and against all reason and doubt, this guy had the guts to really catch my attention and my discerning eye. Fate played a very tricky role this time. Been there, done that. Better without them. That has always been my motto. But, as sure as the tides and the waves and as endless as the sands of time, I am again subjected to this emotion of loving someone and being loved in return. I nev...

    Love has always been a complex and complicated life event. It is also a very abnormal process that may or may not entail two hearts in sync. As I was growing up, I always thought that Love is simple and a rose colored window, so to speak.  Reading up on this, I had been subjected to a lot of emotions, raw and pure. It was like I was the girl on the book, Gia. This book has got me thinking on the following: 1. Is there really a chance to love again after a failed love? 2. How would you even know if it is really LOVE? Not just some silly infatuation? 3. If all else fails in love, would you still love again? These questions bugged me all over as I was racing over time to finish reading the book. I can't wait to turn from page to page and gush over Gia and Armando's story. The characters in the book seemed so alive and real.  I see myself in Bernadette and Gia. I, too, am an explorer and a lover of life. I had traveled the Philippin...

Travel to Heal.  This has been my vow this summer. I had been subjected to a lot of mental and emotional stress lately. The constant pull of the tides and the pressure of a lot of factors pulled me down and me think twice of my capabilities as a person, as a blogger, and as a creative individual.  This post is somewhat a personal one since I had been undergoing a hiatus on my creativeness. Like a person in love and has been hurt in the process, I had been diverting my strengths and energies to something that is worth doing.  I have been subjected to pains and undue stress, both in love and in life. What I thought was my all became my almost. He is nothing but a bunch of complicated mess that had been inducing indirect fatal stress. I woke up realizing that I do not know this person anymore, like everything has been a blur. I could not comprehend why I even took the time to consider this person to invade my private circle. He did everything to break ...

Dear Someone In The Shadows, First of all, I didn't know why I am writing this first and foremost. You were not someone I would definitely spend my day with. You are someone my exact opposite. You were highly creative, I was just average. You are a musician, I am just someone who is a music enthusiast. You paint, I word weave. I am a carnivore, you are a herbivore. I am a coffee addict, while you have an affinity for natural leaves as tea. I think the only thing that bind us are these: Our love for Nature, for music, for anything creative. I know you hate working on things that entail grammar and word play in English, I know you do. You always remind me to be my true self. You always keep reminding me that all things in life are free, and we should be able to take the flow of life. You always remind me that life goes on and on. It is a cycle.  I am writing you this because I do not know why on earth and in the heavens did I ever saw you in a different light. I am not say...
