After three years of service, my PC finally died on me. I felt like dying too. Imagine all the files I kept important were there. Think about all the programs that are installed. It was my best friend during those nights when I’m alone in the office, blasting my speakers to the next 8 Tracks … Continue reading »

XVII (I do not love you) by Pablo Neruda
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light … Continue reading »
To The Year of Awesome Favors (part 1)
January’s almost over and I’m still procrastinating. Bad. I know it’s bad. I should have gotten back my work vibe but I’m still slacking off. Well not the kind of slacking off that could affect my baby (aka magazine) because it’s my love, but I know I could’ve done a lot of things at work … Continue reading »
A letter to my 18-year-old self
(I initally posted this at seayouthsayso.com as a contributor and I thought of sharing this as part of my 27th birthday series of posts which I haven’t figured out yet, rather I haven’t thought of the closing lines yet. Hihi) Dear 18-year-old Gail, I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to you from … Continue reading »
My Christmas-New Year-Pre-birthday post for 2013
ONE MORE ARTWORK AND I’M DONE FOR 2012. Yes, I’m working on a holiday because I’m dedicated like that. LOLJK. Nah, it just happens that my Mac version cannot read old PSD files so it’s either I shoot myself or I drive to Manila (because I still want to turn 27). My Photoshop in the … Continue reading »
A random thank-you post I should’ve done a few weeks ago.
I share a very weird relationship with this one particular boy. We’ve been friends for like eight years now but it’s only recently that we got really close. And you wouldn’t wanna know why (until later in this post). Sometimes I still wonder how we became friends. I remember I just watch him doodle away … Continue reading »
Parental Duties
Last night, me and my colleagues had an interesting discussion about becoming a parent. Although it is sad that I only get to hear the last few parts of it, I was reminded of a few things that I wanted to do and to have. Honestly, I never liked kids. I find them cute and … Continue reading »
By the small office window, I sat down and wept
Remember when you started, you said, “I’ll never let myself be treated like crap again.” So you tried your best not to fall in love with anyone. But then you just woke up one morning and you’re in love again – with someone you never expected to be in love with at the first place. … Continue reading »
The storm is almost over
I have just gone through one of the darkest days of my life — probably next to a death and a cancer scare in my family. Just when I thought I have been through the worst, things turned sour day after day. I was on the verge of giving up. I wasn’t spiritually, emotionally and … Continue reading »
Lesson #1
One good lesson I will always remember about life is that you do things for the one you love because it makes YOU happy, and NOT the other way around. Because you don’t want to end up counting and putting the blame to the person when something happens. Continue reading »
