Walking Towards The Sunrise
From my blogger - Feb 9 2009
We set out to walk before dawn, when the cricket start to hush and fall back into their slumber during the day, and when the roosters stretch their voices to heavens and break the silence of the night.
Angelo fetched me at my great grandfather’s house, at around five-thirty in the morning. “The breeze is perfect at that hour, still cold, yet you can already...

That awkward moment you get attached to someone,...

Dear World
How can you be so strange? :(
“I don’t have time to be scared, only to be ready.”
“you fight it with all your might, until it’s as natural as breathing”
if thoughts could kill
it would have strangled you
if thoughts could kill
it would have snapped your bones
if thoughts could kill
it would have stabbed your heart
but it cannot, and it shouldn’t
because you don’t deserve to die
you deserve to live through your mistakes.
“When you know the only thing that’s stopping you is yourself, then...”
“The scariest thing is when you stop caring.”
standstill
a foot at the grave
a fist pump in the air
a walk on the water could not save
a faith as thin as a strand of hair
Goodnight, Nica
Sometimes, when I look at you sleeping, I feel a little fear that one day, you’ll wake up feeling that something in your life is lacking.
Though you bring immense joy to my life, sometimes I look back, and discover a view of ruins.
The loneliness of being the only parent who fought to keep you alive, the series of heartaches I have had to go through in hoping you wouldn’t wake up to...

Those Questions
Your eyes wander as though you can already see in clear vision, you wake up at the mere sound of a scratch and when people are talking around you, it’s as though you listen to every word we say. You kick like you can already walk, and you cry like the whole world revolves around you. And baby that’s true, for me the whole world revolves around you.
And i won’t be long before...
The Definition
I am a mother.
I never thought that I would ever ever come to this point in my life that I’ll be a mother, but God brought me here, and out of all the many surprising things God has allowed to happen in my life, this is the best that He has brought me to.
And as I write this, I am a mother of an almost 3-day old baby girl, and I’m so in love.
When I look at her, I feel like I...
Rewriting My Life While Waiting for Veronica
Hey babylove.
You aren’t ready to come out yet, I thought you were. I’m so excited to hold you in my arms. Have I told you I have everything you need already? Your crib, your clothes, your diapers, even your toiletries. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms. And yes, all this waiting has made me more agitated, I am so excited to start a new leaf with you.
A new leaf, you say? Or...

Dear Veronica
When I found out you were a baby girl, I was afraid. Not because I didn’t want one, but because I was scared of how to protect you. I could protect you physically, I could protect you from harm, but I couldn’t protect you from that one thing all the woman in the world suffer from - heartbreak.
So here’s what you need to know about love.
You cannot help but fall in love. There...
