 It was on December 2022 that I went to my very first cosplay event. I didn't know there were cosplays events being held here in Iloilo and when I found out I was really really excited since I was a huge fan of animes ever since I was kid. So when my best friend asked me to go with her to the event I just knew I had to go with her.  At first my grandmother was against me going because I have an upcoming exam the next day but i kept on begging and begging to go, promising that ill still study well and get a good score at my exam. Eventually she gave in and allowed me to go to the event.  The next I woke up early to get ready. I picked an outfit and put some make up on. And I was ready to head outside. After riding a few jeeps I finally arrived at my destination. The event was being held at Sm and it didn't take long for me to get there.  The more I got near inside the mall the more rush and excitement I felt. After entering the mall I first waited for my best friend. ...

 Dear papa, When I was a kid to me you were the best dad a kid could have. You would take me out on dates, surprise me by buying me gifts or taking me to arcades, and you would take me to fares. You were the best! I had memories of us that I would never forget. There was a festival at Lapaz plaza and there were a fare. There was games and rides. And after your job you would take me there. We would play at the playground for a bit then we would ride the Ferris wheel after that we would buy linaga and eat and we would go home. Or when we used to live together I would wait for you to go home from work even if it was late. When you get home you would cook us corn beef and we would eat together while watching tv. Those were the most fond memories I had with you.  Then you and mom seperated. You changed. You weren't the same dad anymore. You were more angry, distant and it made me question, do you still love me?  You weren't there anymore, as if the dad I had when I was young d...

Dear mama,  I don't know where to start this letter, should I start with my fond memories of us together? Or the one where I felt like I was being abandoned? I'm well aware about the fact that you had me at a young age. You weren't ready for the responsibility of being a mother, you were just 20 when you had me. You should have enjoyed your life, partying, hanging out with your friends, achieving your dreams, traveling to different parts of the world. I know you don't resent me for being born you just weren't prepared for it. You were young and naive so you sometimes would leave me alone at the house with my fathers relatives or leave me with your mother, my grandmother.  I still remember those memories of the nights i spent crying because you weren't there by my side before i go to bed. And every time it would happen my grandmother would cuddle me and make me stop crying and would tell me "Your mom is busy working that's why she cant accompany you to b...

 The day that I was going to take an exam at WVSU (West Visayas State of University) final came. On the date April 14, 2024, that was actually my second time taking the exam. The first on march 10, 2024 but due to the cheating issue we had to get a retake of the exam.  And so on the day of the retake I woke up early to get prepared. I wore a black top and baggy pants to avoid the extreme heat of the sun. Around 12:20 in the afternoon I arrived at the gate of the university but before entering i had to print out my examination permit in order to be able able to enter. After printing out my examination permit, I asked a guard about where is the building that is written on the permit. I thanked the guard and went to the location he instructed me to go to.  As I was going there, their were also other people heading to the building so I followed. Upon arriving at the building I asked a staff on which floor the number of the room I was assigned to. The staff told me it was on t...

 I felt my world fall down when I was ten years old. The world I knew shifted. It seemed as though all I had ever known abruptly crumbled. And then everything began to fall apart. For a small child to feel that way seems quite dramatic, yet that's how it was for me at the time. The place i once called home doesn't seem to feel like home anymore. Instead, it's just a house that the ghosts of the past are hunting. Even though I was aware of what was going on, it took some time for it to truly sink in. It resembled a wound that refused to mend. As I look into those contented families' grins, holding hands and living in their own world, I realize that time cannot mend it. I used to think that we were always like that—hand in hand and grinning together—but things have changed. The family I knew was no longer there. Something inside of me had been weakened by their separation. I grew cautious, afraid to show weakness, and afraid that I would get hurt again. My walls grew more...
