Bittersweet

If only this was a perfect world, you and I would be together.

 We would have made plans and talk about forever.

 It would have been your coffee I fix in the morning, 

and curl in bed watching our favorite movies til the ending.

 But the world is not perfect -and still won't be last time I checked. 

So here we are apart, 

though it had always been you from the start. 

Now we pass by and politely nod at each other, 

and there's always that bittersweet pain in the chest that gathers.

My GM (General Motors) Diet Journey by Leia Mae "Yummy" Caliston

Say what?! General Motors?  Isn't that an automobile company?  What has the car giant know about dieting? Okay, let me give you a background why I started this diet plan.  I am someone who hates the gym.  It bores me out of my mind.  I love dancing, I love yoga, but I equate the gym to a painful struggle.  Besides, I'm just not really comfortable working out with a lot of people and ummm... men. As to why I started.  It is because I have gained weight.  I mean who wouldn't if you own a place that serves food?  Availability and access.  I used to be only 105 pounds and I panicked when I checked that I am already 115 pounds (here piggy piggy piggy...) .  Some people think they are giving me a compliment when they mentioned I gained weight and they think I got prettier but deep inside me I feel so insecure and I am not comfortable. I am used to my 105 pounds and I want to go back to that. General Motors Diet or GM Diet was starte...

Ahh... Life.

 Marcus Aurelius once said "We live but for a moment".      That statement rings true.  I lost a client turned friend last week after she succumbed to cancer.  Not a lot of people know we were friends but we were the kind of friends who chat late at night and just bears all of our concerns, worries, anxieties about our businesses and yes... frustrations about life and love life.        You won't see us hanging out or even just having coffee or attending events together.  Our friendship was mostly online.  And yet, it was one of the most real and no pretense kind of friendship that we had.  And why not?  We had a lot in common.  We are both in our 30s, single, hardworking and driven women who wants to get things done.  We are the type to take care of everything and everyone and who seemed from the outside in control of it all.       It is during late at night we take our masks off and...

The Woman and The Bird (A Tragic Love Story): A Lesson for Jealous and Insecure Women

Once upon a time, there was a bird.  He was adorned with two perfect wings and with glossy, colorful, marvelous feathers.  In short, he was a creature made to fly about freely in the sky, bringing joy to everyone who saw him. One day, a woman saw this bird and fell in love with him.  She watched his flight, her mouth wide in amazement, her heart pounding, her eyes shining with excitement.  She invited the bird to fly with her, and the two traveled across the sky in perfect harmony.  She admired and venerated and celebrated that bird. But then she thought: He might want to visit far off mountains!  And she was afraid, afraid that she would never feel the same way about any other bird.  And she felt envy, envy for the bird's ability to fly.   And she felt alone. And she thought: "I'm going to set a trap.  The next time the bird appears, he will never leave again."  The bird, who was also in love, returned the following day, fell in...
