Prose, Poetry, and Thoughts: Entry #5

-
Life has a funny way of making me insane. 
My heart's in pieces knowing that I can’t have you
No–
Not in this lifetime.

I love you for every lifetimes we’re in .
I just know that I’ll always gravitate towards you.

I can’t help it 
My soul remembers you.
And I do hope you remember mine too. 

But,
I can’t let this endless cycle of us crossing paths and falling in love happen in this lifetime.

This has to end here. 

With me.

-E. 


(Okay, I just can't stop sharing my works. I don't know I feel like sharing.)

You're on your own, kid

Waking up alone in my mommy's hospital bed made me realize that I'll be on my own if she doesn't come out safe from the operating room. Half of my being hoped for the best, and I trusted that. The other half of me knew she wasn't going to make it. And she didn't. I was 17 at that time. Young but stubborn as hell. I was a pain in the ass. I actually gave my mommy a hard time. Did I regret it? Yes. Did I eventually forgive myself? Yes.  Now that I'm 25, I get used to being alone all the time. I was alone when a lot of bad stuff happened to me, and surprisingly, I managed to survive. Yes, a little bit of wounds and scratches here and there, but I turned out okay. Being on your own is not that bad. You get to learn how to do "adulting" (budgeting, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and so on). You'll be responsible for your own mental and physical health. And it made sense why I had gone through all of it. My experiences made me stronger. I realized that all ...

Filed under adventures & misadventures: Kaamulan Festival 2024

Kaamulan Festival is from the Binukid word “amul” which means “to gather”. It is a gathering of Bukidnon tribespeople for a purpose. Every year people from all over the country visit Malaybalay City, Bukidnon just to join the fun and experience other things the province can offer.  My first-ever Kaamulan was this year. Facebook posts had me giddy with anticipation. Food and spring pools are two things I'd like to check out again. I went there for a three-day, two-night staycation/trip with my boyfriend and his buddies. Patrick's friends which turned out to be my friends as well, were very understanding as to why I slept almost every night during our stay.  At the same time, I enjoyed the company of those I traveled with. I laughed a lot and was able to eat good food. And that was more than enough. I am beyond grateful for their genuine friendship. We had planned to visit Nasuli Spring in Bangcud, Malaybalay, Bukidnon on our final day of travel. The establishment was already f...

Reasons to stay alive

-
I've been meaning to write this but I always forget. In a few days, we will face 2023 and its mysteries. I am both excited and afraid of what's in store for me. Will it be a great year? I have a lot of questions but I don't want answers. I want to figure it out on my own.  One more year until my brain is fully developed and I'll be a real adult by then. I hope that I won't be as emotional as I am right now. I sometimes despise my empathy and my heart but without these, I wouldn't have the courage and the talent to write.  What are my reasons to stay alive for the new year? Hmm. Let me think thoroughly. What exactly kept me alive despite the fact that I almost lost my mind earlier this year? 1. The good food you'll eat.  Yes. FOOD. I mean, tasty food makes me happy. It takes away my sadness and exhaustion. If I die now, I'll miss the chance to eat all the food that will make me happy. 2. The places you haven't been to. Travelling to places that piqued...
