A Look Back

-
Its again the time of the year on which I will again be celebrating my birthday, during this time I try to remember all the things that happened in the past year and how it has impacted my life. Can you believe it?, in just a few short hours I will be turning 15 ,but why the hype? age is just a number isn't  it? Yes age may be just a number but still its exciting to look back at what you have done and what you achieved.


In the past year I have experienced so much from achievements to failures, a couple of happy moments,successes, to not so happy moments, and to disappointments. It has been an exciting year full of laughter and tears so lets take a look back shall we?

April 04, 2011 yes! I turned Fourteen
As I turned 14 I entered my Junior year of high school, turns out Junior year would be my most successful year as a student. Rank 1 for 3 consecutive quarters, Deportment Awardee, Countless contest wins, from quiz bees to dramatic monologues and more but all of these achievements did not come without pain I suffered a hell lot too. Impeached from my class presidency on the first month, the whole class turning on you and countless adversaries but still Thank God for such a wonderful year.


It was also during this year that I entered the world of Fandom specifically The Harry Potter Fandom wherein I met so many new friends from different parts of the world, I created 3 new Harry Potter fan pages on FB an I did meet many persons who share the same interest with me. 


As this chapter of my life closes another one will surely open, it will be another year of new friends, new experiences, new successes, new failures and new beginnings. My eyes are always open to new opportunities and new experiences who knows maybe Being 15 will top being 14 in the mean time I will be enjoying life and living it to the fullest.

Someday, I Shall Also Sablay — But Not Yet

  When I left for Europe, it wasn’t just a trip. It was a mission, a commitment. I went as part of the Philippine UPR Watch delegation, carrying with me the stories of our people, the struggles back home, and our collective hope for justice and accountability. As the Lead Convenor of Defend Southern Tagalog, I stood in rooms and on streets across different cities, speaking not only for myself but for communities silenced and marginalized for far too long. I thought that after fulfilling this deeply meaningful work, I would come home to another dream finally coming true: my graduation. I imagined arriving back home fulfilled, tired but triumphant, and soon after, walking across the stage wearing my sablay — the symbol of years of hard work, sleepless nights, and unending perseverance. But life had other plans. I found out I wasn’t graduating while I was already in Europe. In between meetings, human rights conferences, and advocacy visits, I received the news that shattered me.

When the tears won't stop falling

-
4 years. We spent 4 years together and all in a snap those 4 years were gone. I don't even know where to begin and where to end. I find myself crying myself to sleep countless nights. Its like an endless cycle of mourning that somehow repeats itself over and over again. Believe me when I say I'm trying, I have manifested nothing but happy thoughts, I have tried to keep myself busy and maybe that way I'll be able to forget and let go. I thought these mechanisms would work and somehow magically the pain would be gone but no, it's still there sometimes just pushed into the back of the mind and sometimes it's just there in plain view rearing it ugly head and wanting to shout from the rooftops all the pent up emotions that time and time again I have tried to push aside. When I'm all alone and the dust has settled on each day, I pray, I hope, I wish that somehow, someway you'll come back to me. Am I idealistic? Am I being blinded by love? Am I weak? I cannot let y...

When You’re Overwhelmed, Lost, and Tired of Being the Strong One

I’m just lost. I feel like I’m always one inch away from a panic attack. My emotions are all over the place. Some days I’m okay, and then out of nowhere, it hits me—that wave of anxiety, the lump in my throat, the nausea that tells me I’m overwhelmed again. And the worst part is, I don’t even know where to start untangling it. It’s not just one thing. It’s everything . I’m reconnecting with an ex—something complicated and emotionally layered. I’m doing my best to graduate, to not fall behind. I’m prepping for an overseas trip, which should feel exciting but mostly just adds more stress. I have debts that keep me up at night. I need money. I need to show up at work, to lead by example, to be reliable. I need to convince my family I’m doing okay—even when I’m not. It’s like I’m being pulled in ten directions at once. Sometimes all I can do is focus on what’s right in front of me. But even then, my thoughts feel like static. I can’t process anything clearly. I’m scared—of the future, o...
