"A woman in love with herself is magnetic." - Abiola Abrams, The Sacred Bombshell Handbook of Self-Love
Rivers is very professional when it comes to nude artwork. A first timer like me didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He doesn't give off the kind of aura that makes a woman feel disrespected. All I saw is his focus and his connection to his work.
Medyo nakakangawit ang pose ko dahil nakaangat ang isang kamay ko para matakpan ang kalahati ng aking mukha. My lips are parted a bit too giving a pale innocent look. Ang isang kamay ko ay nakatakip sa aking dibdib. I'm sitting sideways, magkadikit ang aking mga tuhod.
Binalot ako ng mga pulang rosas na plastik. Their

"You are not the darkness you endured. You are the light that refused to surrender." - John Mark GreenI should have known from the very start that Alorica hates me to the pits of hell. Because my mother ruined her family. I should have known she can do everything to make me pay for it.Pero hindi ko inisip iyon. We are sisters, yes half, but we share the same father. At kung ako ang nasa kalagayan niya, siguro nga ay masasaktan ako, but I won't live in anger my whole life, I will eventually try to accept her as my sister.Pero siguro nga hindi pare-pareho ang pag-iisip ng tao. Just like how I held my grudge for my father, maybe that's how she held hers for me

"Everyone heals in their own time and in their own way. The path isn't always a straight line, and you don't need to go it alone." - Zeke ThomasTulala ako kay Fifth habang ginagamot niya ang iilang sugat na nakuha ko nang bumagsak kami kanina. Ang mga luha ko ay natuyo na sa aking pisngi. I feel so exhausted. Sobrang haba ng araw na ito."It's done, you should rest now.." he murmured.Tumango ako ngunit hindi naman gumalaw. Nanatili rin siyang nakaluhod sa paanan ko at nanonood sa akin."What will happen now, Fifth?"Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at marahang p
Late Night Devil Chapter 36
Everything started falling back to places.The hearing started a week ago. Si Papa ay nakalabas na ng ospital at kasalukuyang nagpapahinga na sa mansyon, with Tita Trisha taking care of him. I don't know how they are coping up with Alorica being in jail but I will try my best to help them both.Noong huling bisita ko last weekend ay mukhang maayos naman sila. Papa is in maintenance of his medicines, his brothers are handling the company. His relatives apologized to me too, noong naabutan nila ako doon. I accepted all their apologies wholeheartedly.I'm planning to visit again this weekend, tutal ay hindi naman ako abala at literal akong tumatambay lang sa condo habang naghihintay ng graduation.

Instead of saying, "I'm damaged, I'm broken, I have trust issues" say "I'm healing, I'm rediscovering myself, I'm starting over. - Horacio JonesEnd the culture of silence.To the eyes of the law, rape is a crime. Anyone who is proven to have committed this crime should face a corresponding consequence. The law ends with that.But to the women who are victims of sexual abuse and exploitation, rape is not just a crime that happened, it's a whole different thing that shattered their life to pieces. And justice won't be enough to seal the wounds of a victim, for it will haunt them for as long as they live, for it will immobilize them and prevent them from
Late Night Devil Epilogue
"You're not worth just a million, but millions, and billions, and trillions, and all that I have." - Fifth MontgomeryEpilogueHindi pa rin ako kumbinsido kahit nang patungo na kami sa Fiasco para sa celebration.Hindi ako sigurado sa nararamdaman, I'm shocked, I'm happy but I'm worried too. Sinong hindi magugulat sa ginawa ni Fifth? 10 million is not an easy money. Pakiramdam ko matatanggap ko pa ang isang milyon pero ang sampung milyon?I'm happy at the thought, yes, who wouldn't? His mere reason for buying it is because he 'has' to have it, not want but he has to. Ang rason niya lang ang pumipigil sa aking magalit.But I'm worried. He ca
Late Night Devil Prologue
"It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to find life worth living, and be against rape, if it has led to your existence."The cold breeze of December has always been memorable to me. The lights of the busy city is almost the reflection of the bright stars at the sky above. And even with all the noise and the traffic and the bustle around, I would still look forward to Christmas. A Christmas with my mother, with only the two of us. A Christmas that won't ever happen to me anymore.Even without my father, I lived with happiness and abundance because of my beautiful and loving mother. Ipinagtabuyan man siya at halos isumpa ng mga tao dahil sa pagiging kabit, kailan man ay hindi niya ako itinuring na masamang

"She is a soldier trapped inside a barbed-wire fence, but she is still at war and the battlefield is her own body, and perhaps, she has come to realize as a prisoner, that is where it has always been." - Maaza Mengiste, The Shadow KingMaybe there's a reason why there's night and day, so that those who are lonely won't feel all by their self. So they would find comfort in the dark skies, so they would find the darkness around them as companion, so they would look forward to the sun coming down.As an illegitimate child, darkness became my mother, my sister and my friend. Darkness became all that I have, and nights became promises.It's the only time of day that

"Beauty provokes harassment, the law says, but it looks through men's eyes when deciding what provokes it." - Naomi Wolf, The Beauty MythTumatak sa isip ko ang mga huling sinabi ni Zyline. I should get out of my comfort zone? Sumandal ako sa headboard ng kama at huminga ng malalim.The last time I tried to get out of my comfort zone, I got raped. I don't think I can risk it again.Hindi ko naman talaga habol ang sumikat sa pagiging modelo. I just do it for a living and as pastime as well. I don't think there's a need to level up. Malaki na ang kinikita ko sa pagiging catwalk model at promotional model.For ca
