A Woman's Echo

They say that when you meet someone worth everything, your heart beats fast, your knees go weak, and you tremble. When I first met him, I felt those signs. Hopeless romantics, including myself, have always imagined the slow-motion effect of a first encounter when you meet your "worth the trouble" (a reference to the book I read last night). That is what I have always dreamed of, just like the women in romance books. He lives next to our house, a new tenant of Mrs. Jenkins. He is timid, mysterious, and uncanny—a man whom I thought I would never dare to get close to because I knew we would not even have a conversation from the start. It was like two similar personalities that would either clash or miss. I am sure it was the latter. On a sunny afternoon, while I was sneaking chocolate from our family's store, I laid my eyes on him as he did the same on me. At that exact moment, I felt my heart beat the loudest as I stumbled while trying to escape, and he asked for a cigarett

Silence

"What is a word that comforts you?"                                           This question marked in my mind the moment it was asked by a celebrity that I watched when she has this so called talk concert. There are words that the audience shared when they were asked by this question. Some said that the word eat deliciously are the words that can comfort him. And those words are from her song "Tunnel"                        Those words can be shallow for others, and can also be shallow if it was included in a song, but it can be meaningful when you were there in the situation. Especially if you love to eat and you were stress eating.  There are also words that can comfort you like some sorts of motivational and such but the moment Sejeong said this word, I realized that this is also my comforting word.   Silence               This can be my comforting word. But unlike others that it is a word that was said by someone, mine is the word itself. Silence has the power t

For Me

 Hello. The first time I wrote like this in this kind of format is when I started this account. I just want to share this lesson or an idea, maybe? Whatever you want to call it. It depends on you. I have always been asking myself what do you like? What is your biggest dream? What's your favorite food? Or any questions about myself. But my answers will always be depends on what I want in that moment, that is based on people who I really want to please, or to those people whom I want to be. All those answers are really not for myself. Maybe that's when it started.  Then it became a habit. I slowly became someone people want me to be, to fit in. I forgot my dreams when I was a child, I forgot what's really my favorite food, what do I want in life, where do I want to go and many more. I don't even know now what's my favorite color. Then it got worse. I now find it hard to burst all my feelings, it's now so hard to cry. Because what I feel is not worse and they can&#

How Things Can End Up

 Deirdre and Lovell had been married for 5 years. And for all those years, Deirdre always caught him cheating and entertaining other women. Dierdre got sick of it, and asked him to give her some space and decide if they'll go through or not. After 3 months of being cool off or temporary separated, Lovell realized that he was turning 40, old enough tobrealize his choice of life. He's not young anymore to play. He's willing to do anything to gain Deirdre's trust and forgiveness. He talked to her and asked Dierdre if they could go back together. But Dierdre refused. Throughout 5 months, he slowly gained Dierdre's trust again. Dierdre gained trust in him again, but not completely..  During the months of gaining her trust, Lovell rarely had a conversation with women. His entire attention is for his wife only. He never dared to ruin her trust again like he always did all throughout the years. He's already a grown man who should be serious and not a man who is trying t

She hates this field because the work she was passionate about was always for news. But she had no choice. Gloria's a kind of person who has principles and always obey the rule, and also the code for their field. She is always not a fan of insult comedy.

Mario and Gloria had a talk for the first time for her issue, Mario followed her suggestion. That's the time that the show got low ratings. Pablo scolded the two. It is unpredictable where will this kind of conflict will settle, it's not just ab

Scribbles and Poesies

Fear is a Jail When I try to move forward,  My feet froze, and felt nothing I want to lay my own card  Still I have no courage to step on beginning For a long time I'm hidden on my own wall Walls that can be comfort I must say However, I'm afraid it'll be my own fall Do I need fortitude to set free in this non-existent jail?

Or I'l
