Just a while back, a friend of mine confided that she was
dreading their upcoming high school reunion. When I asked her why, she said
it's because she hasn't accomplished anything in life and she would surely be
embarrassed when her high-heeled globe trotter former classmates would ask her
how her life is. She's embarrassed to let them know that she amounted to
nothing.
Everything about Love. Everything about Life. And every lie that we make for the sake of love and life. Let's share it here...

AnOther Woman's Point of View
The Other Woman. No Other Woman. The Mistress. A Secret Affair.
No, this is not a review of movies about mistresses. No, that's not it.
I just noticed that a lot of people are not exactly happy that mistresses are trending in movies, so to speak. They (especially women) hate the publicity that these "other women" are getting lately. Some people think that the movies are glorifying the act of adultery and the adulteress. And I just want to say I beg to disagree. I think it is just telling the other side of the story. Why, we always see "normal" or the usual love story, but we don't really complain even if they are too cliche?

Broken Reflection
(A Poem by a teenager disappointed with herself)
I always stare at myself in my mirror
And watch as my reflection glow
I was contented with what I see
Because there's an ideal woman to be
I always stare at myself in my mirror
And watch as my reflection glow
I was contented with what I see
Because there's an ideal woman to be

A Blast from Rainer Maria Rilke
I have another confession to make…
Yes, what I said in my previous blogpost is true… that I have
been busy with work and then lazy with my free time. But that didn’t keep me
from posting in my other blog…but not here.
But that’s not without trying. I know that’s a lot of buts and it’s
starting to sound like I’m just making up excuses. Well, the truth is I think I
wasn’t inspired enough to come up with a topic about Love…Life…and Lies… I
guess it has something to do with “not being sad”. You know what they say, “the
sweetest songs are always the saddest”. Right?
Well, of course, we also get inspired when are most happy. Yeah, I
agree. I guess it is because I’m neither
of the two.

...in a Coma
Wow! How time flies.... Has it been over a month already since my last post??? Ugh! I've been a bit too busy with the nitty-gritty of this so-called life. Work and all the hassles that come with it. How I wish I could afford to just sit and relax, read and write as I please... Oh well, since that is not happening in the near future, I'd just have to squeeze my blogging in whatever little free time I have.
