There Will Be Days

Dandelion by Kamsar Ohanyan, 2021

There will be days when you wake up to a cuddle
There will be days when mornings are a struggle

There will be days when dancing feels good
There will be days when music just can't give the right mood 

There will be days when the food on the plate is wiped clean
There will be days when a grain's left untouched or so it seems 

There will be days when laughter echoes everywhere
There will be days when not even a cricket's sound you can hear
 
There will be days when a short walk is enough to keep it at bay
There will be days when you kneel and plead to make it go away

There are days when the faintest of sunshine hurts your eyes
And there are days when raindrops sound like solemn lullabies.

There's been a lot of playful roasting from both sides, too. This is probably the longest we've been together physically and so far, wala pa namang napipikon. Haha. It's a good kind of strange to be in this new chapter of our lives. Des...

Not Like Me

Signing of the Roll of Attorneys, Supreme Court of the Philippines, May 24, 2017 I was invited to give an inspirational message to the students of my alma mater in celebration of its 47th Founding Anniversary. The first thing that came to mind was, "Wait, what can I talk about eh I have no significant contribution to the society pa naman?" The second was, "why did they invite me?" What do they hope to hear from me? My politics? My hobbies? Or maybe my journey? 😅 I haven't really told anyone outside my family, even my best friends, about my entire law school journey so I was in a bit of a dilemma. Should I tell the truth about my humiliating struggles to strangers? Or sugarcoat things and skip the parts which are totally embarrassing? To be honest, I didn't want others to hear about what I've been through for not only does it bring back awful memories of the past, I likewise feel that no one is actually interested to know my story. I don't like t...
