Letters To Sky

Dear Sky, While I am writing this, my back is aching. I'm not sure if this is because I cracked it again earlier or if it's my scoliosis acting up or if I've just been spending a lot of time sitting down and lying down.  This makes me realize just how much I haven't been doing any physical activities. The only physical activities that I enjoy doing are biking and bowling. And I haven't been able to do that lately. I stopped biking not because I didn't enjoy it anymore but because of the lockdowns and the threat of COVID. I also am too busy with work that biking has taken a back seat. I could go out on a bike ride with you but I always have this fear that something could go wrong while we are out doing that. But I know it's just me and my paranoia. I'll try to do this with you soon.  As per bowling, I'm not even sure if Embarcadero de Legazpi is already open for bowling. Again, the threat of COVID lingers. The area may be open but with the Delta varia...

Dear Sky, If there's someone who's trying to bring you down, be proud. Because it means that you're above them. They think you're better than them. You cannot put a good person down. Only the foolish will believe them. And you don't need foolish people in your life.  I've had my fair share of people calling me different things and telling other people lies. I've had my fair share of people I've trusted and them telling other people some things that I told them in secrecy. I don't want these to happen to you but I know that it will. I just pray that if you do encounter something like this, there is no need to prove anything to them. Just be yourself and do what you do. You're unique in your own way and you're you. They're irrelevant in your life and trusting people like that even more is not going to help you. Cut ties, burn bridges if you must.  It will hurt. It will definitely hurt. But it will make you stronger, and wiser. Their words w...

Dear Sky, This is the first letter that I'm writing to you here. I wanted to go back to really writing and just pour out my emotions and my thoughts just because I can. And then I realized that I could be doing that while telling you more about me and the things I do and why I do them. And also I could teach you things based on what I've observed or what I've gone through. We don't talk about these things much because who does?  I'm just glad that I watched the movie 'My Amanda' around a week or so ago. It was an amazing movie and quite different for a Filipino film. I suggest you watch it when you have time. You may not really realize a lot of things right now but you may remember lessons from the movie in the future. I won't be getting around to telling you that.  Anyhow, I mentioned that movie because this blog has been inspired by that. How sometimes, people can really "talk" through letters. It even reminds me of the movie "Letters to...
