"ENOUGH." in THE WORDPLAY WARRIOR
Here we go again. I’ve never thought that once again, you did that. You just had to, didn’t you? It was your childish, irrational tantrums that had to stop. I’ve had it. We all have had it. E...
"WHEN ALL'S BEEN SAID AND DONE..." in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
Rome wasn’t built in a day, yet many can be destroyed in seconds. Toxic can spread from the words you say, leaving poisoned hearts rotten. What do you expect? Like instant noodles in a package? F...
"BROKEN..." in THE WORDPLAY WARRIOR
It took me over a week to have finally come out and written this here. Even so, it is very, very difficult for me to write this whole thing down. She’s just an old lady, probably about my mot...
"YOUR PROFESSION" in "SHORTS"
I remember you and the first time we met. We were at a friend’s party at the club that night. You walked up to my side, wondering why I just stood in the corner and watched the band playing and o...
"SAVE ME!" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
Save me! I didn’t know the ground would shake so badly. It was so scary. Try searching for where I might be, perhaps you could find me, even if it were just a body, and my spirit might have flown...
"THESE HARD TIMES: SLEEPLESS NIGHTS" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
There was no point in that sleepless night. Your eyes hurt under the bright sunlight. You can’t enjoy the day. All you want is a hideaway. “Why so worry?” he often asks me. “Sometimes you just ne...
"THICKER THAN BLOOD?" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
It’s the same old story; one that remains untold. The characters acting happy as reality remains cold. “Everything’s okay,” they always say. “It’s always just another ordinary day.” Oh, say whate...
"OUT OF STEAM..." in THE WORDPLAY WARRIOR
As usual, I meant to write sooner. However, it’s always the same old story: I’ve been way too busy and tired lately. I’m also feeling slightly depressed. April is almost over…and I haven’t go...
"THE NIGHT THAT OPENED ME UP" in "SHORTS"
That had been one hell of a getaway. No wonder they call it The Island of Gods. It did feel like a paradise to me, eventhough temporary. It was the place where you could relax for a while, fo...
"OUR LAST SUPPER: A MOTHER'S CONFESSION" in "SHORTS"
Welcome. Come on in. I know what you’re up to. You want to know, just like everybody else. You want to know why when you look at me. Why did I do that? Why did an ordinary woman like me do su...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY!" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
Let’s forget our real problems for a while. Walk these familiar streets with our smiles. I know reality can be demanding. Let’s face it: some people might always be irritating. Let’s talk of some...
"WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
What are you afraid of? You’ve always convinced me that this is love, yet you never let me be the person I am meant to be. What are you afraid of? You say you love me for me, yet you want me to c...
“A TRIBUTE TO JAKARTA’S COUCHSURFING WRITERS’ CLUB” in THE WORDPLAY WARRIOR
I’ve wanted to write something special for you guys as a small tribute, so here it goes: I am thankful that I’ve found this amazingly creative club called The Couchsurfing Writers’ Club in Ja...
"THE SWEET PRINCE OF THE ISOLATED CASTLE" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
The Sweet Prince has found his princess. It is believed that she is the best. There is no second guess. All there is to do is make it last. Let God do the rest. His eyes stray on The Ex-Guardian ...
"AFTER A YEAR OF LIVING ON MY OWN..." in THE WORDPLAY WARRIOR
It has been a year since I moved out of my family’s home. How is it going so far? It’s going great. It’s probably not much of an issue to some people in the world, but it is still quite one i...
"YOURS TRULY, YOUR WARRIOR PRINCESS" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
I would like to give you the world, but I don’t even own it. None of us do. Even so, you’re one of my VIPs in this universe, more than I’m just one of your kids. I wish I could do more, just for ...
"DANNY AND DELLA : NOVEMBER 2014" in "SHORTS"
DANNY: “So, Danny – tell me.” Danny looked at the curly-haired, stocky woman sitting in front of him. “Tell you what?” he challenged. The woman just stared back calmly, ready to take ...
"ALL OVER THE PLACE..." in THE WORDPLAY WARRIOR
How can you tell when your mind is actually all over the place? For me, I am afraid a lot. Like, for example – I have written an entry before and ended up deleting / not posting it. Why? I ju...
"I COULD BE (IF YOU LET ME)" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
I could be the one you’ve always wanted me to be. If you think I’m pretty, I’ll make you feel happy. It’s all so easy. It depends on how you treat me. I could be your best friend or worst enemy. ...
"GIRLFIGHT 2: REALLY?" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
Do I have time for this fight? No. I’m not taking any sides. We’re already way too old for this childish show. Do I have the energy for this fight? Why try to suck me into your negativity? I don’...
"CINDERELLA DREAMS VS. MY REALITY" in THE WORDPLAY WARRIOR
Out of randomness, I agreed to watch the latest version of “Cinderella” (directed by.Kenneth Brannagh) last Sunday night with my best friend. Aside from the fact that it wasn’t the type of movie ...
"JUST BACK OFF!" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
Time flies faster. Some things get better; others worse. Should we curse the unfairness of this world? Well, it’s just life. Why fret and cry? Stick to your decisions. Make up your mind. Don’t gi...
"MEET ME HALFWAY..." in THE WORDPLAY WARRIOR
I’m still where I am now. Reality’s started dawning on me. My last salary from the previous company will be this month. After that, they’re off the hook – which is fair enough. I have to star...
"THESE HARD TIMES: KEEP THE FAITH!" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"
I think we both have been ambushed. Reality has once again challenged us with many, like it often does. Can we beat the odds? Can we overcome these obstacles? I’d like to be your superhero once a...
To my two Little Princes and Little Prince: How are you, my little darlings? I hope the three of you are doing fine and always happy. I am glad that I finally met you again last Sunday. You a...
