Have you ever felt so tired even though you just woke up? Sometimes you feel unproductive even though you have crossed out everything in your to-do list.

Life in My Presumptive Bipolar World
It’s been quite some time since I last posted and I am surprised it took this long! I suddenly thought about what could have stopped me from writing a single post, since most of what I wrote are just some of my experiences in life. Or , when I feel especially creative. Normally, it would have been too easy for me to create one. But lately, trying to start the first few sentences became a challenge for me. I seemed to have forgotten my subjects and predicates. I realized I had nothing special to write. My life is boring! And I was suffering from a severe case of writer’s block.…

Do You Believe In Magic?
It’s gonna be a magical day today. “I don’t suppose at your age you still believe in magic?”, you say. What is not to believe at something beautiful? You said, “Well, there is no such thing as magic. All those magician’s trick has been revealed on tv. I mean, we know that those are just tricks, illusions, right?” “And today, when you capture something beautiful on camera, they ask you if it was photoshopped, or what filter did you use?” Spot on! That, and so many other “scientific explanations.” The problem with our world today is that people tend to overthink. We always try to find an explanation for something…

Why I Joined Jeunesse Despite My Fear of Rejection
I have a fear of rejection. I have been rejected so many times that the mere thought of it makes me want to puke. Rejection in love, at work , that’s why I have avoided involving myself in sales. But I realized that this fear is the one that’s crippling me and hindering me from achieving what it is that I want in life. I know that I have to somehow learn how to condition my mind to take rejection with a grain of salt and move on the NEXT.I recently finished reading Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad and in it, I learned that to overcome your fear of…

Unfinished Sentences & Semicolons
I promised to write only of happy things, but I can’t pass up this chance to write something I love talking about, my causes and advocacies. Recently, I stumbled upon an article in Cosmopolitan Philippines , Here’s Why Semicolon Tattoos Are a Thing, and it was about the reason why people were posting photos of semicolon tattoos on social media sites. For some reason, I was absent from Instagram for quite a number of days, almost a week and wasn’t aware of this. But reading through the article, I learned that it was posted by people who wanted to make a stand against discrimination , spread awareness on Mental Health…

Freedom and Me
There was a woman who wanted to change everything in her life, except that she can’t if that meant leaving behind her children. She thought that if she change her name, at least a part of what she used to have and what she used to be, broken, would also change for the better. My real name is Mary Anne, but I have been more comfortable using Marianne because significantly, I am trying to change a lot of the feelings that I used to feel, mostly angry, hurt, fearful and depressed. And also, i like this name because my ex hated it. Apparently he had been locating us on Facebook…

Say Hello to the New Me and My New Vanity URL
Just when I thought I’ve outgrown blogging…Welcome to my new blog! I have been blogging for quite sometime in this blog, but with a different blog title, talked or rather wrote about my experiences, transitioning from being a loving partner, to becoming an empowered single mom, and all the challenges I encountered throughout that journey. I had always been a melancholic writer, I can only write something that springs from being sad and lonely. It is a bigger challenge for me to write something that would come from my being happy. I drew strength and inspiration to write from sadness. I thought that I would be like that for a long time, until…

Of Death and Acceptance
When I found nothing written to comfort me, I wrote my own. My absence from the blogging world would only mean something happened to me or to my family that I could not have the time to squeeze in a few hours to write. My dad passed away on Monday of the Holy Week. It was my parent’s 40th year wedding anniversary. The fact that it took me a longer time to write about it could mean something more. It meant that I wasn’t able to put down into words the loneliness and sadness I feel in my heart with his passing. Many times the words seemed to fail me.…
