If I would be given a chance to have a sit-down interview with a famous celebrity, it would be Kylie Jenner.  Kylie Jenner seems to have her life together. At a young age she appears to have a perfect life. She belongs to a well-known and wealthy family, she has her own business, she has already established herself, she's living a luxurious life, and she has already a family of her own. And this is exactly the kind of life that most people at her age are dreaming of, or most people in general. Like in a just a snap of her fingers, she could easily get what she wants. Plus, she is admired by many.  There are some things that I want to know about her, simply because I'm intrigued. I want to ask her what it's like to be her, I mean to have a life that she is currently living. I want to know the real her without the presence of any camera. I am curious about her personality. I want to see how she's living the kind of life that she has. I want to ask her if there are still t

Life is like riding a roller coaster. Sometimes you're up and other times you're down. You have no control over where you would be. The best thing about a roller coaster is that it keeps on moving. When you're down it goes up and vice versa.  It's thrilling everytime we're up. We can see clearly the view. It seems like everything that we've been worrying about fades away in an instant. It's so relaxing everytime the cool breeze of the air hits our face. Even for a brief moment we forget all our troubles. Even for a while, life feels perfect, and that's what most of us crave. We wish that time would freeze and we remain forever on top. But like what I said, roller coasters keep on moving. We go down, and of course we don't want that. We keep on waiting for our turn to be on top. There are times when we couldn't help but think that it will be like that forever, that we'll stay there forever. We couldn't wait till it's our turn to see wh

I've been feeling this for quite a while now, the desire to leave. I just realized how bad Monday and birthday blues combined. Or this is probably because I didn't have enough sleep.  Anyway, when I was a kid and my mother scold me for something I did, or when she didn't give me permission to do the things that I wanted to, I always thought of leaving the house and not come back anymore. But of course, as a kid I was obviously powerless to do it. Now that I'm an adult I still have the desire to do so. Compared to when I was a kid, I can do it now if I wanted to. Even so, I know that I won't no matter how much I want to. I know that once I did it there are lots of repercussions that I need to face when the time comes, and I don't think I'm ready for it. So the best thing that I can do is to stay, for now.  I wanted to escape badly. I am not happy with how my life is going lately. Being an overthinker is so exhausting. Others might think that I live an easy li

Dear Self, Happy Birthday to you. You're a year older today, and I hope wiser. I want to apologize to you for putting you up with so much in the last couple of months. It feels like you're back to your old, miserable self again. I know how hard you are trying to feel okay and to fight everything that's been weighing you down. At times you succeed, and a lot of times you fail. Sorry for that.  I don't know how 31 is going to be, but I hope and I pray that you still choose to survive even if you don't feel like it. When you don't feel like you can't go on anymore, always believe that you can just like you always do. God will always be with you no matter what you are going through. He won't give you anything that you can't handle and He always has His reasons for allowing things to happen. May you never lose your happy self. May you always find humour in everything. You know what they say, "Laughter is the best medicine." Laugh as much as you

I can't believe that we are already on the third day of 'ber month.' Here in the Philippines, we are said to have the longest Christmas celebration. Because as soon as September 1 comes, you could already feel the spirit of Christmas everywhere. You could already see some stores have already started selling different Christmas ornaments. People are already starting to put Christmas decorations. Different radio stations nationwide are already playing Christmas songs. There's this one famous Christmas song that as soon as the 'ber months' begin, automatically you could hear it playing. Here's the lyrics of the song by Mr. Jose Mari Chan:  Let's sing Merry Christmas  And a happy holiday  This season may we never forget  The love we have for Jesus  Let him be the one to guide us  As another new year starts  And may the spirit of Christmas  Be always in our hearts You could already see different memes of him on social media even if it's only mid July.  Do
