PARASOL (Prologue) by Leia Mae "Yummy" Caliston

I saw her one day across the street from my window
holding what I thought was the cutest umbrella of its kind
She wears anticipation on her face
The skies are getting darker looming with rain
Any minute now it's going to fall.
I stood beside her and told her it's going to rain
She said she knew and claimed she was waiting
Right there, I swore the girl was nuts.
I must have been crazy too because I didn't move
I just stood there and watched her lift her face
God, but she's beautiful! I wanted to understand this girl.
I told her my name was Rae. I learned hers was "Lily"
"Well Lily, do you mind if I share your umbrella?" I asked.
"It's not an umbrella but a parasol." she corrected.
And I think I just fell in love with this strange girl...

Because it's a rainy night.

Smile Even Though You're Hurting

Okay. So let me explain my absence from the blogging world. Sickness galore aketch! I just had an eye surgery yesterday. The doctor had to remove the infection in one of my eyes. Eww! I know right? I learned one thing and I hope you'll learn from this too: NEVER TAKE A STY (in vernacular: "timos timos") LIGHTLY. Medical term: Hordeolum (Sty) When the term "timos timos" comes to mind, teasing usually follows. "Hala sin-o gin ling-ling mo?" Believe me, I wish I had someone to peep at. That would have made my sty worth all the trouble. LOL Anyway there is no truth to this and for your information a sty results from blocked glands within the eyelid. When t...

Ride or Die

From Urban dictionary: ride or die when you are willing to do anything for someone you love or someone you really appreciate in your life. the person who you stand by in any problem and vice versa . the term "ride till the end or die trying " I've reached a point in my life where I question myself what is it that makes me not settle down. If I truly have no desire to be in a relationship or start a family. Why I rocked the boat to a seemingly peaceful and stable past relationship with a good person from a good family and who has the same faith as I do. It was supposed to be a perfect match and a relationship with a clear direction. Yet there I was nursing my traumas in life and thinking about my what ifs. I still have goals and ambition and wasn't very sure I was ready to start a "peaceful" life and forget about my calling. Fear and anxiety got to me that I would be marrying without me having reached my goals for myself and for my fa...

The Freaks You Meet in a Bar/Club Scene

Cheers to the freakin' weekend I'll drink to that....yeah!! Err..No, I won't since I am in front of my computer writing this blog post. See, I used to enjoy partying all night til dawn in clubs/bars but I think I grew out of it. Before I start my rant, here are important details to know about me: I AM NOT A WILD CHILD, I STUDIED LIKE THE DEVIL DURING MY STUDENT DAYS (i.e.. I don't go out at all), AND THUS, I MADE "BAWI" AFTER I GRADUATED, I'M NOT ALCOHOLIC, I DON'T SMOKE, I DON'T FLIRT WITH MEN IN CLUBS, I DON'T GO HOME WITH STRANGE MEN, I JUST HAPPEN TO LOVE....DANCING. That's about the only reason why I go there in the first place. I love to absorb the music and the energy. So there, now that it's settled... Begin rant. I seem to have lost my interest in the club scene. Well perhaps because I've matured but mostly because the club is now filled with PREDATORS on the prowl for a willing or un-willing prey. Another...
