21st Birthday


I wrote this draft yesterday, but I didn’t get a chance to post it the same day because we had to leave the office early to eat breakfast, and I didn’t have internet. (No! I actually have internet on my phone, but it’s hard for me to edit and add words on my phone, so I had to wait until today—right now—to post it.)

If you’ll read this whole piece of junk, let’s just pretend and rewind back to the 15th.

It was my 21st birthday (yey!!). I celebrated my birthday at the office—sad, but not totally.

Nothing much special happened except receiving greetings from my office mates and closest friends. They surprised me with a cake—and it wasn’t just any cake, it was a pink cake! Yey!!

My mom greeted me a happy birthday through Messenger. Of course, that was also special, especially when greetings come from family.

I really appreciated the surprise. It’s been so long since someone made me feel this way.

At this moment, I will always hold on to the fact that some people still want me by their side and want me in their lives—as their friend.



I was in the midst of happiness when they began singing the Happy Birthday song.

My friends showed their ingenuity. (I’m happy to be given a chance to work with them.)

Time passes so fast.

What a birthday—having a cold!

I am too grown to play around (kidding aside). But still, it’s my birthday, and I’ll try to enjoy this amazing day.

(Mahaba pa ang oras.)

But I need to get some sleep since I am working the graveyard shift, so definitely there’s nothing special planned for today.

To be honest, I don’t like preparing something for my birthday (like a celebration or gathering). I’m not a fan of it. But my mother and sister love throwing parties even on my birthday. They usually prepare something like a simple dinner with cousins, relatives, and close friends.

That’s basically everything. I just wrote an entry about it and shared some anecdotes and feelings. (Hahaha!)

I’m kind of sad because I’m not home unlike last year, but thank you all for the greetings and wishes.


                                        (LOVEYOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!)

PS. Yes! It’s true—nothing really special happened that day. I went to a friend’s house (we talked a lot), then returned home around 12 noon, and I just slept. (Yes, I just slept. Hahaha!)


Have a great day yow!

Para sa brokenhearted by:Marcelo Santos iii

I can’t remember exactly, but I finished reading this book about two weeks ago. I didn’t get the opportunity to write an entry about it then, so here it is. I accompanied my mom to the airport because she was going to Manila that day. After that, I went to SM Mall, and I don’t even know why. Hahaha!! I have this weird habit sometimes—I love going to bookstores just to check things out or buy books. (Hahaha! Of course you ended up buying a book—you were in a bookstore, right?) Talking to myself (insert sarcasm). I don’t know what got into me, but I checked the book section again that time. I saw a book by Marcelo Santos III titled Para sa Broken Hearted . The truth is, I wasn’t familiar with his name—I didn’t really know him until that day. I later found out that he is also the author of Para sa Hopeless Romantic . At first, I thought Para sa Broken Hearted was all about advice, lessons, or steps on how to move on. Hahaha! I started reading the synopsis (I don’t know the corr...

I'll be here for both of you through it all

I really don't know how to express myself today , i feel forlorn since Sunday and it's because of her open letter . I love them both and it hurts so much to see her in this melancholy moment. I only wish for both of them to be happy .I'll admit it ( kasama ako sa mga taong gusto din na magkatuluyan silang dalawa pero hindi naman natin pweding ipilit ang isang bagay na hindi nila ikasisiya .) There's always a perfect time for everything ( Tamang panahon nga sabi n lola diba . )All that she wants is the happiness that she deserve. ( Subra akong nasaktan sa sinabi nyang "hindi na sya masaya".) I feel her pain ( anu ba bakit ba ako nasasaktan? , bakit ako masyadong affected ?Hindi nya naman ako kilala , hindi naman kami close pero bakit nasasaktan ako para sa kanya . Tingin ko ang sagot kasi subrang minahal ko na silang dalawa subrang naging inspirasyon at subra nila akong binigyan ng saya sa mga panahong yung lungkot sa puso ko ay kaya na din akong kainin.Ka...

Pretentious Poet

Sana mabigyan ako ng kakayahang maipakita ko sa’yo kung gaano ka kahalaga sa buhay ko. Sana maibalik na lang ang dating masaya pa tayo, sana nandito ka pa at kasama kita. Sana kahit sandali, makita at makasama ka pa. Sana totoo na lang ang lahat ng ipinaramdam mo, edi hindi sana ako nagkakaganito. Kung maibabalik ko lang sana, hindi kita bibigyan ng dahilan para makita mo ang dahilan ng paglayo ng pag-ibig mo. Pero lahat ng sana ay isang malaking ilusyon na lang pala. Bakit ka bigla na lang bumitaw, naiwan tuloy akong mag-isa? Ginawa ko na ang lahat, pero hindi pa rin pala sapat. Handa akong panindigan ang lahat ng ating plano kahit hindi ko man ito kabisado. Ang plano natin ay biglang naglaho dahil pinili mong matupad ito sa iba. Sana mabigyan man lang ng sagot ang lahat ng tanong sa isipan ko. Edi hindi na sana ako umiiyak hanggang matapos ang tulang ito. Wala na, distansya lang pala ang sumuko. Akala ko ba walang hanggan, pero bakit ngayon bumitaw ka? Lahat ng a...
