Life of an Adult

I got my salary last week. After a few days, it turned into less than a quarter of it. I have some for my gas and a little allowance. But that’s it.

I was on lunch break. I asked a friend to go elsewhere with me so I can rant. He was working from home. I asked another, but he has not replied as of this time. Who do I turn to? No one in my mind.

I thought of getting coffee. I finally had a commercial coffee last Monday after months of persuading myself. My budget still allows one for me. But I opted not to. I’ll just save money for something else my son and I really need.

I wanted to entertain myself. I went down to find something interesting, which I do not even know what.  I thought of having retail therapy. But my budget says not now.

I faced the mirror. I wasn’t happy. I have lines and they get more. I have loose skin. And I got unhappier.

I paused from work. But I thought of something else. So I went back to grinding.

I guess this is my life now- Alone, ageing, boring, just working and always trying to save for something else not for me.

Adulting is not fun.

Random Thoughts

It’s a new year and I realized, I have not written my thoughts for quite some time now. Days and months have passed, and things are quite the same still. You know what’s different? The impact. These days, I have quite grown to live with the challenges in my life. But don’t get me wrong. I still cry the ugliest cry. I still bawl in the CR in a snap. I still shout while driving. I still feel worried. I still feel anxious that anytime someone from behind will stab me, literally and figuratively. I still feel the pain. I still am sad of things that happened and that were done to me. But as they say, you do not and cannot forget the pain. You just learn to live with it. Until now, no one has sincerely sent an apology or showed regret. I shouldn't wait, really. Maybe there will come a time that they will realize the scar they left on me. Maybe not. And I am still trying not to care. I’m persuading myself that because I have different views and practice from people I grew up with,...

Chacha of Camella Homes

I am joining the bandwagon. Now, probably like you, the one beside you, or the one you saw yawning this morning (for so long as he watches television), I have become fascinated with Chacha Canete. Yes, she's the cute little girl in the Camella Homes commercial with the jingle bulilit bulilit . Admittedly, she’s not the cutest little kid television has ever shown, but, I think everything in that commercial seemingly befits her. I especially enjoy the scenes when she was walking with her arms tucked, when she was chewing her food and mostly, the one when she looked around and finally realized she’s in a bigger house. Cute cute!   How do you teach such young age to act naturally?                                               ...

They say, you do not fully love someone if trust is not present. But what if you have grown to love someone altogether with the entire cast of trust, and, eventually, one of the casts breaks down? Again and again without remorse. Is love then questionable? My building of trust which took me quite a while to rebuild was again ruined by a very lame-hitting bat.   I don’t understand why such happened.   Outside factors believe that I may have been holding on tight. I would definitely want to refute that. Even this someone, would, I believe so. And even if otherwise,   I strongly believe that nobody deserves that.   And then again, I still cannot understand. You see, I am facing the altar in months. And on my road towards there, I need full force on my hands. If only I could pick up the broken glasses on my way there, I would. But then, it does neither take my way there nor months to pick them up.    I don’t even know if these glasses can be ...
