The Quiet Notes
The Little Boy Next Door
Photo: jobspapa.com It's 1243 am and that boy next door has been crying for almost an hour. And then the cries just went louder, and I can hear the mother shouting, "Inaano ka? Inaano ka?" ("What's with you?") But the boy kept crying saying "ayoko, ayoko!" ("No. No. I...
Crossing The Bridge of Forgiveness: Letting It Go
Yes, it's true! Congratulations to me! After some time of hibernating from blogging, I am happy to announce , my dear readers , that I've finally crossed the bridge from the bondage of negative emotions to freedom and finally opening myself to new opportunities, more...
Exploring the Uncommon: Featuring Blogs Written By Men
It's not usual that I read a blog written by a man. Most blogs by men write topics about their businesses, their skills, photography or something that they are into, sports, music or the most common of all, games, cheats and walkthroughs. And then there are blogs that...
Mending Fences and Mending Hearts
Writing has been difficult for me lately, so with coming to terms with my emotions. The worst part of being busy, is becoming a robot. We tend to do things habitually, almost like being mechanical to maximize our time. Listening to your breathing would come only...
Of Friends and Masks & Shower Bloops
As mentioned before in my previous posts, I would want to share new experiences with you. I have never attended a bridal shower before. Not that none of my friends have gotten married, I just did not accommodate all the invitations I got. So when one of my...

Let Go. Move On. Just Live.
Sometimes it’s hard for me to write continuously about the events in my life. Sometimes, I get this feeling of uncertainty, of being unsure if people are still getting inspired with what I say. Sometimes, I get the feeling that people may think I am being egoistic,...
An Ardent Love for New Age Music
Last week was a frenzy for me. The disadvantage of having multiple jobs is that when everything has to demand more of your time at exactly the same moment,time management skills would not be of much help. As much as I don't want to, I have to decline a job offer which...
Extremely Unique State of Mind
It's been quite a while since I blogged, mainly because of the tons of things to do. But once a blogger, always a blogger. You may not have the time to put your thoughts into paper, or in your blog, for that matter, the thoughts haunt you until you finally make them...
A Different Kind of Love: Support the Cause
I have been waiting for an opportunity to publish this post, so that it would be a subtle deviation from my usual posts. This has been sitting in my drafts folder for weeks now and I just could not find a better way to start or finish off this post. Not that I was...
Real Love According to Carrie B.
I have always wanted to write about love. I'm not an expert, all I can say and write about it would be coming from my own experience, and of course, from books and the internet. But then it would be something sad as always. When I start to write about love, I always...
