Nakalimutan na kita

Dami ng ginagawang awitin Sinusulat na panukala Bukas ang ilaw ng kayamanan May pabitin sa kisame at sa kamay Dating pulseras ng dugo ngayon Ay pulseras na ng tagumpay ngunit Hindi puno ang pagkagalak May tila kulang sa aking mga daliri Nangunguminting, nangangating Magkalikot muli ng mga parirala Naagnas na ang mga salita Naiwan muli […]

Life Hack: Books

I absolutely love owning things: from designer bags to extracted molars. All types of things. They can be gifted, inherited, or bought. I only keep things that bring me joy though, in case St. Marie Kondo sees this post. Maybe that’s why I love books or the mere act of buying and owning books. It’s […]

Regression

In statistics, we say ‘regression does not equal causation’. Causation deals more with impact while regression defines the volume or density of the impact. That means it can prove correlation i.e. the movement of directly related variables. This isn’t an intro to the course or anything similar to that though. I just want to readily […]

y___r____g

Starting off from the foot of my bed Crawling up to my face With a grin that can match stars I echoed your lust you penetrated my sorrow and it cried as your body enveloped mine I close my eyes once more and find you sitting and grinning Again, the universe align Eyes that smile […]

Hospital Bed

We spend another night At the comma bed as he Drove me to calmness And took away my transgressions I combat in level-headed feat And struggle but my eyes Would quarrel with my teeth I gnash and blink Somewhere between The fitted sheets and sturdy beds Comes plastic full of specimens Of my own aversion […]

Poems flown away

The light was on, And it won’t die. A box brimming, It can’t hold no more. It vomited, given up, It was fed up with a lot. A roll of tape was bought It lied there on the side Stuffing laughter and tears Dried up beer bottles, Used as ash trays for nights Scattered candy […]

Imposter Syndrome

I’ve been in the research industry for– maybe over 5 years now, that’s already minus my shtick in journalism. In those five years, I’ve done lots, from house-to-house interviews with Overseas Filipino Workers to coding survey questionnaires used by international companies to find out whether or not their employees are happy enough to stay. Investigatory […]

Rain On Me (not a Lady Gaga reference)

It was a rainy afternoon when I wrote this, what I now will call a paradox or maybe a cliche perhaps. Although it’s raining, I can feel sweat building up underneath my breasts, just like how the rain is puddling up on top of my aunt’s car cover. It is wet, and it’s not quiet. […]

From One week to Six years

I finally got the tooth out. No one could better describe the pain I’ve put up with because of this tooth better than myself. Every medical exam would get me a comment about my bad tooth. As if I didn’t already knew. Here’s a short background: the year 2014 I went to the dentist to […]
