Sa pula, sa barya

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Naaalala mo pa ba ang tunog ng tatlong bente singko
ting! ting! ting!
habang ito’y ipinapasok mo sa pulang telepono?
bilis! may nakapila sa likod mo!
Hindi de-pindot ang pagpasok ng numero
isang matagal na hintay
Daliri ba ang ginamit mo o yun dulo ng lapis?
lalo na kung may zero ang landline ng kausap mo
Patay! Nakain ang barya!
Hampas! Suntok! High [...]


About My Man

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

I’m tagging all those with partners! I got this from JM’s blog. It’d be fun to share some things about H too. Feel free to join in the tag either through your own blog or in the comments!
Note (added a couple of hours later after writing this entry): I asked my husband the same [...]


Maliwanagan

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Gabi na, malapit na sa alas-diyes. Tahimik lang siyang nakaupo sa hagdanan, nakatingala sa daan, malayo ang iniisip.
Madilim. Napakadilim. Buti nalang may mga lampara sa kalsada.
Meron kaya siyang hinihintay? Darating kaya? O baka naman ang lalaking ito ang hinihintay. Napasarap lang ang pagmuni-muni sa gabi at ‘di nasundan ang oras.
Ano kaya ang [...]


Husby Funnies

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Some funny exchanges with the man who keeps me young.
Husby, upon seeing tubs of red/orange liquid in the freezer.
Husby: “Jello!!!!!!!”
Wifey: “Er… no Husby, that’s fat-burning soup.”
Husby: (closes the freezer door quickly) “Yuck!!”

We come home so tired from a work day that we just end up plopping on the bed and sleeping straight away. [...]


Today is Wife Appreciation Day

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Husbands, I know that everyday is Wife Apprecation Day for you. If not, tsk tsk. I hope you’re planning something sweet and nice for your wifeys! You could make breakfast for her, do her share of the chores, give her a foot massage, be her slave for the day, court her all over again… [...]


Even if I was pinched, I would’ve still been dreaming

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Some months ago, I dreamt my celeb crush John Krasinski came to the neighborhood. He lived a few doors down from us. I was soooo excited to meet him.
But I couldn’t find anything to wear.
So I ended up just sleeping and then dreaming I was kissing him.
I was dreaming that I was dreaming that I [...]

What have you got planned for the week?


A Day Away at Nurture Spa

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

“Why does it feel like time goes by slower when we’re away from the city?,” my friend asked.
“I think it’s the energy,” I replied. She looked at me with a puzzled expression, and I shared more of my thoughts with her. “Think about it. Everything is so fast-paced here. You can’t help but walk fast [...]


31 on the 30th

Friday, August 1st, 2008

It rained on my birthday. It always rains! When I was 11, I remember being so bummed out about my rainy birthday. I wanted to go out and play, but instead I was sulking at home. Then my Dad went up to me and said, “Rain signifies blessings. Be glad it’s raining on your birthday!” [...]
