I Am a Writer

Sunshine paints a smile on my face
Reminding me to get on that chair
Continue pounding on the computer

Seeing the subject and verb agree
It's like fantasy meets reality
Writing, indeed, is my fascination

Ideas rush into my brain
Sometimes, they visit me on wee hours
I had to tell them to wait so I can capture everything

Crazy as it seems like
But that's how a writer lives
At least that's how mine is

Unfinished articles and untitled pieces
Some old finished manuscript waiting to be published
They crowd my private space

When creativity calls
I've got to drop everything
To respond to that call

I am a writer
The world needs me
Not just to chronicle events but to make history

Best Man (I Think): Ten years ago, Richard made a decision na you know the next girlfriend will be the woman I'd like to marry. So, he stood by his decision and ah... he fervently prayed for his future wife. And after so many years of waiting, after so many years of scouting, praying, he finally found the... the woman of his dreams and the answer to his prayers.

Maricar: You are God's unexpected answer to so many of my prayers. And by faith, I know that this desire in my heart to be one with you comes from God. And I thank Him for the grace. It's only by His grace will I be able to fulfill all these vows to you. I love you so much.

On Fire

 

        Moved. Challenged. Empowered.

                  Back to zero. Back to square one. To some people, it's quite terrifying or annoying. To me, it's an exciting path. New strategy. New pasture. New life.

                Going back to square one is like reengineering for me. I used to hate that thought, but I realized being open to changes is a great thing to start with. Being open to changes means being open to beautiful surprises. Detours appeal to me since then.

The Proposal

Have you ever been proposed to? How did it feel like? Was it simple or grand? Did it happen when you least expect it? Was it romantic? Was it your dream proposal?

Date a Girl Who Prays

          Date a girl who prays because she is deeply concerned of the real beauty- what’s inside a person’s heart. She perfectly understands that external beauty is fleeting and internal beauty is eternal. She will love you for who you really are and not for what the world expects you to be.

A Confession to Make

            Are you trying so hard to get the girl or man of your dreams? Have you ever come to a point where you begged or almost begged for love? Have you ever asked yourself why all this time you're not getting what you want in a relationship?

The One Who Got Away

“We loved each other so much that we had to let go.”

          They say only time and love will go together. I couldn’t agree more to that until I finally experienced and understood what it truly meant.

          I’ve fallen in love many times in my life but never did I understand why I love and how love really is. As I share this story with you, I’m grateful because God made me realize this early on in my life.

Say Yes

            

           “Miracles are everywhere. Sometimes, you just need to show up.”

          Many times in my life, I’ve achieved my dreams because I said yes. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small or big dream. When I was a young teenager, I watched beauty pageants and dreamed of joining one. But I had one problem, I felt so small and ugly. So, I never mustered the courage to raise my hand and say, “I’m joining.”

Please Wait

                     

            “I want to see his face. I want to feel his embrace. I want to meet him. I want to hold his hands forever.”

          Singlehood is a time when you take risks, go on adventures, meet new friends, pursue your dreams, and the inevitable finding of your life partner. Almost six years ago, I lost that love- the love I held so dear. It wasn’t easy to move
