Don’t Forget My Name
Remember me in your prayers. Cleanse my name through your solitude and contemplation. At least, do me this favor. That I may fully understand why you’ve chosen this devotion over me.

A Mole on One’s Foot
There is a Filipino superstition where a mole on one’s foot means the person loves adventure. Often times describes as “layas”, “gala” and “lakwatero/lakwatsera” (travelers and wanderers) that often goes anywhere just for the sake of being outside the house.

From The Woman You Don’t Wan’t to Marry
To my man, I love to travel. You must understand. I want to feel the breeze of the wind and face all the adventures this life can offer. The four corners of the office bores me to death. The numbers I’m dealing with every single day brings me more stress than any problems I’m facing in my everyday life. It slowly kills me. I need to live my life. You must understand. I am not born to live a life dictated by other people. I’ve live my life suppressing all my dreams and sacrificing my passions in order to give the best for my family. I’ve live my younger years dealing with problems a…
