Wifely Steps

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?

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!

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.

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.

I was dreaming that I was dreaming that I [...]

Hope your Monday is off to a better start.
What have you got planned for the week?

“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 [...]

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!” [...]

Thank you for the wonderful birthday greetings, e-cards, text messages, e-mails… you filled my heart, guys. Hugs to all.
And now, for the Balloon Birthday Contest winner. I had a blast reading through all your comments. How I wish I could turn them all into reality! 27 trips around the world, trips back [...]
