What it Feels Like to Lose a Part of Yourself

Last week I was very happy. In fact I felt like I was the happiest person ever. I had a series of fun with my diverse-kind of friends, I had that rare moment of not fighting with my sister, I had my share of my new milktea craving, I had gotten away with the possibility that my professor will call my name for an oral recitation, I had my quiz results that were perfectly satisfactory, and most importantly, I was able to run away from my busy schedule...

Silly Things People Do When They Are In-Love!

I don't normally talk about other people, I have always been self-centered, but something about these past few days got me interested about gossips again! Being a keen observer in this world, it's rather simple to figure people out! For example, it is easy to tell that a person is in love by the way he/she speaks about someone, you can always see the enthusiasm! I have observed a lot with my friends, I just don't talk because...

An Open Letter to the Girl Who Broke My Heart

It's not a letter, but I like the way the title sounds! Recently, I have been very busy with my schedule I had to say goodbye to my classmates earlier than I used to, and this led to an speculation that I am seeing/dating someone again. I am terribly sorry to inform everybody that I am still very happy with my own company! When I started college, everyone was different, it's like a clash of every society, there's the rich with their cars,...

The Sad Truth about the Philippine Cinema

My friends watched the recently-released local title “Everyday, I Love You” and they kept telling me to watch it because it’s very romantic and touching. And every time they do, they got the same reply from me, “I’m not paying to watch it.
