Pagkadilat ko ng mga mata ko, nagulat ako dahil madilim pa rin sa paligid ko. Madaling araw pa lang ba?
Rinig ang lakas ng ulan at hangin mula sa labas. Kaya naman pala makulimlim at nakidlat kasi may bagyo at sa tingin ko nandito na ang bagyo. Inabot ko ang cellphone ko at nakita na alas siete y media na pala ng umaga pero parang alas kwatro pa lang ng madaling araw.
Nag-unat ako at nagtungo na ng banyo para mag-toothbrush. Pagkatapos, nagtungo na ako sa may kusina at nakita na nanonood ng balita sina Mama at Papa. Paniguradong tulog pa si Meiz.
"Oh, gising ka na pala, anak," saad ni Mama.
Tumabi ako sa kanila at nakinood na muna. Signal #2 na rito sa 'min at hanggang bukas ng madaling araw tatagal ang bagyo.

Dahan-dahan akong umikot para harapin ang lalaki na katabi ko ngayon. His face resonated warmness that I’ve never seen in a long time. Hindi ko napaigilan na mapangiti dahil sa nararamdaman ko ngayon.Alam ko na maaayos namin lahat ng nangyari. Hindi magiging madali lahat sa una pero alam ko na kakayanin namin ito. You never know you’ll have the strength and courage to fight for that special someone in your life. Us against all odds ika nga nila.Bumaling ako sa bintana nang mapansin na wala na ang malakas na ulan. A small amount of sunshine entered th
"Happy birthday, Calli!"sabay-sabay na bati ng mga tao na nakasama ko sa buhay ko pagkapasok namin sa isang resort.I stood agape at the marvel unfolding right infront of me. My workmates, friends, and family all stood there, beaming at me. Hindi ko napigilan na mapaluha dahil sa tuwa."Thank you," I said in a shaky voice.Napalingon naman ako kay Lev na may malapad na ngiti sa mukha. I can't help but wonder if he planned this all along. He grinned at me and enveloped me in his arms, kissing the top of my head."You sneaky, man. How'd you do this? How were you able to keep this a secret from me?" sunud-sunod ko na tanong sa kanya.He kissed my forehead before answering
More than a decade agoThe doctors and nurses were in and out of my the ICU where my father was confined. I felt helpless as I stood on a corner with my body trembling and endless tears streaming down my face.I knew we'd come to this point, but I never realized it would be this early. I just got the old him back and now he's being taken away from me.Everything was just happening in a blink of an eye and I just couldn't keep up. I don't want to 'cause I'm not sure if I want to see the end of this.We were just playing basketball at our front lawn when he complained that his sides were hurting then he collapsed. My father didn’t wake up from that point on. I want to
Since I was a child, I've always wanted a fairytale love story. A prince charming coming to save a damsel in distress, eventually falling in love and living happily ever after. But growing up, I've realized that love doesn't always come dressed as rainbows and sunlight, that despite its vibrancy, a dark feeling resides with it and that feeling is pain. You can't say you've loved someone if you haven't experienced pain. I know that love has two faces, two personalities, but I didn't know that it would bethatdifficult to experience. My first major heartbreak was with Pierre. I thought he was the one, like most people who fall in love think. But whenthatnight happened, I thought I couldn't love again. I can't bear the pain I went through anymore. But if you know me and Lev, you'll know thatthatheartbreak was just a heads up for what's about to come. “Ang tahimik dito,” saad ko nang muling win
To everyone who supported this story, Calli and Lev, and most especially me, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I cannot express how happy I am because of the unconditional love and support you've given me. Re-writing this story definitely had its up and downs but because of your never-ending love, I've been able to reach this story's end. Though we've reached the completion of this story, rest assured that Calli and Lev's story doesn't end here. Their love story will go on until the end of time. Always. 'Til next time, my lumielles! xoxo,elle

Corner StoneAdvertising Agency Iyan ang ngalan ng kumpanya na hindi nangahas na tanggapin ako. Pagkatapos ng apat na taong pagtanggap sa mga linyang “Tatawagan ka na lang namin”o ang pinakamasakit,“Napag-utusan lang kami,”ay napalitan na rin ng"Congratulations! You're hired!" This is the new beginning I’ve been waiting and praying for the last four years. Pagkatapak ko sa elevator, nakadama ako ng adrenaline rush. Hinding-hindi ko ipapahiya ang kumpanya na ‘to. They may not know it but I owe them big time. Dahil sa kumpanya na ‘to, maraming pinto na punung-puno ng mga oportunidad ang magbubukas para sa akin at lahat ng ‘yon ay papasukin ko. I held my head h
"I just want to talk to you," kaswal niyang saad. Gusto ko iuntog dito sa lamesa ang ulo ko para maintindihan ang sinabi ni Pierre. Sumandal ako sa kinauupuan ko at pinagkrus ang mga braso ko. Nakapamulsa pa siya sa harap ko. He looks all business and beaming with confidence, but underneath him is a boy who always wants his father's approval. "At ano na namang kasinunggalingan ang sasabihin mo sa akin? Ipapatanggal na naman ba ako ng Papa mo sa trabaho? Babalaan niya ba 'yong mga kumpanya na ina-applyan ko para hindi ako tanggapin?" I tried to sound calm, but I badly want to slap him so hard until my hand numbs. Inalis naman na niya ang pagkakapamulsa niya at nangunot ang kanyang noo. He sat on the chair across from me and leaned in, with his arm on the table for support.
