Likha Diwa sa Gulod

So I guess I have to thank people who didn’t keep their promises to me, people who said yes that eventually became no, people who sent rejection notices, and people who cancelled on the very last minute. Because if not for them, I wouldn’t have gotten used to pain. I wouldn’t have fully accepted the simple truth that you can’t always get what you want. And I wouldn’t have mustered enough courage to face Today.

And Today never happened…

before.

Di ako badtrip. I’m happy. Before the worst, before we met, before our hearts decide it’s time to love again...

Even if I’m not a good boy, even if it’s still not Christmas, I feel like Santa Clause surprised me with a wonderful present on my birthday.

Valentino Spa and Resort - A Beautiful Retreat

I will try to forget my past
to make my present unforgettable.

It already is.

PS.

I'm humming this song I sang while walking to the resort last night.

If Café Mesa were a flicker of light, it still shines the most in Stotsenberg darkness

While having soda and coffee, Carla tells me that every time she passes by the café at dawn or at night, she feels drawn to its quaintness and exquisite light. Who wouldn’t? Just the sight of a charming wooden house surrounded by verdant trees and grasses somehow tells a phase in life when romance was only make-believe and magic was real.

But I told her “Maybe you just associate this place with your longing for something or someone.” She just laughed it off.

Even if change is necessary, there are times that I still want constancy. If you look at the café’s glass window, you don’t just see your reflection, you see the most constant thing in your life - home.

Music can magnify happiness and loneliness

Often, the heart is a happy-go-lucky person with no common sense.
