Over the past year, we’ve heard the Philippine government praise the Filipino people for their resilience during the pandemic.

2021 is a sentence
The past year has been filled with a chasm of uncertainty. It crept into our veins as if we were living in a big world of suspended animation. The lockdown happened in March 2020.

All I just have to do was to write and let the feelings flow. I’m really not that much of a writer. I just write with feelings for myContinue reading “The Lost Soul”
Isolation Verse 1
#BehindTheVerse This short verse was written earlier this year when the world was still in isolation. The pandemic has disrupted so many lives, including mine. I started to write verses to relieve my anxiety when I felt like my carefully constructed world was falling apart. Now that everything is starting to return to normal, IContinue reading “Isolation Verse 1”
