JAKARTA … While other tourists are checking outThailand, there we are in a place far-fetched from being a tourist destination. Chos. Not really naman, hindi lang talaga sikat ang  Jakarta  for being a city to go to. Or so I thought. So I told my boss that I’ll be leaving forJakarta on CNY and his question: “whyJakarta?” Well, I told him, I just want to see whatJakarta has to offer me and my group of friends. Then I met with a friend over coffee and she learned that I’ll be going there and she told me, “ingat ka, pinapatay mga intsik dun”. Gosh! Having heard these comments made me think of backing out. I can’t die ‘cause I’m too young, much less, I can’t die just because I look Chinese. Anyway, so go pa rin ang mga bebot. Sometimes remarks are just words entwined to form a doubt as to known plans, yan tuloy, it creates panic, fear and uneasiness but I hold on to my forever mantra, “how will I know if I won’t try?” so then, lumapag nga sa paliparang ...

Be a Bitch. Don’t get me wrong but bitch is construed as a female power. Someone who is capable to hold herself in times of anger, sadness, loneliness and even fear is called a bitch.

She may not have the gorgeous looks or a bod-to-die-for but she is within herself, a looker and a hooker. Someone you’ll be interested to meet with, someone you’ll crave to be with.

I need someone to talk to.” then came my reply “Hey you! I’m okay, like you, I’m sorting things out for myself. Talk to me, what happened? Is he the same guy you were talking about last week?” She said, “Yeah, same guy, the guy who told me promises. You know what, I saw his picture with another girl, seemed to be so happy, the girl even liked the picture.
