can't stop thinking about that quote that says, “love is stored in the kitchen.” and “i love you. i want us both to eat well.” my inang doesn't let anyone touch the coconut tree in her yard unless when we come visit and she offers us buko juice and i only like suman when she makes them.

her favouritism with her grandchildren was apparent, and i'm glad i made it to the list.

i wish i knew then what i knew now

that you don't always get to say goodbye

so i shall build a house out of i love you's

“i miss you more than i remember you.”

i saw my late mother's graduation photo where she had cut her hair short. coincidentally, i had recently cut mine too.

grief is a funny thing. i suddenly felt the excruciating pain in my chest while lined up in the grocery store, and tears swelled up in my eyes when i caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror.

i have my dead mother's face.

i have my dead mother's face.

you wanted to do nothing with me, as i do with you but why is it in my heavy in my chest each time i remember that you're no longer in this world? how come i carry parts of a dead woman? haven't you ruined enough?

i don't want you living in me.
