  • Months Later

    I romanticized Manila at one point and said that things weren’t THAT bad. My inane attempt at deluding myself worked but it didn’t work on my family and friends.

  • Welcome to Adulthood pt.2

    I wrote my first WordPress post on my new site titled “Welcome to Adulthood” to a great response three years ago. It was passionate and informed which is why it was so well received.

  • From the unofficial girl

    There is still a part of me that looks for you. This unconscious thinking seeps into my daily life. A part of me is still so full of you. The things you left with me have become a part of my routine. I fought so adamantly against you on so many things. Defiance was my
