A quick love note

written in 2010: I don't want to have to recycle the words but I guess they have all been said to you one time or another ... although I don't think anybody would have ever meant them as much. - ...

Of past lives and blog sites

I cannot believe these are still out there! Good thing I still regularly check the email address I used to create all these. My gaaaahd! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. From my teeny-bopper petty problem days: to my lesbian phase (or so I thought) days: to my mommy journal: So funny reading...

Thoughts at 6 in the morning

★ There are a lot of things in my life I should be thankful for - food, shelter, health, friends, family, and even just life itself. But my eyeglasses tend to get a bit blurry sometimes and the things I should be thankful for get lost in the "i-don't-know-what-is-happening-to-this-life" phase of mine. ★ Writing is something I know I can do pretty well. I have been practicing since I was six years...

When Love Arrives - Sarah Kay & Phil Kaye

"Love is not who you were expecting, love is not what you can predict. Maybe love is in New York City, already asleep, and you are in California, Australia, wide awake. Maybe love is always in the wrong time zone, maybe love is not ready for you. Maybe you are not ready for love. Maybe love just isn’t the marrying type. Maybe the next time you see love is twenty years after the divorce, love looks...

A sleepless night and a song on repeat

I have the Up Dharma Down song Tadhana on repeat. And I can't stop listening to all the possibilities, the unwritten words just ready to come out any second the next note is played.

No, just when I thought...

A quick love note

We've been together 29 months. You're cooking your special creamy tomato pasta for breakfast-brunch-lunch. And I say I'm working on one of the articles I need to submit later. But I just want to write this quick love note to let you know a few things: You're a very beautiful person. You constantly bring out the best in every single man or woman whose lives depend on your care. You touch other people's...

Never a time for anything

It's almost noon and I still haven't had breakfast, still haven't taken a bath, and still haven't started on those 10 articles I need to finish before 8pm. I am still trying to pry my thoughts away from crawling back to bed. My partner is already up and cooking for us but me? With less than 6 hours of sleep, I feel dead tired. It's fascinating how there just aren't enough hours in a day to do everything...

Of words unsaid

I have no idea how to say it. The words feel wrong, somehow. It's been exactly 231 days since I read my Mother's text, telling me my Grandfather has given up his fight for life. Lolo and me I was just about to drop by the hospital later that day, after my daughter's pre-school graduation. It was...
