"They live long on a very salty water, yet they never absorb the taste of it." Ngumiti ako. "Hinahamon mo ba kong gumawa ng reflection about d'yan?" "Sige nga. Parinig, baby girl."

“Is it because you think it’s a huge wet graveyard? Alana, hindi lahat ng dagat may patay na nilibing. Sobrang linaw ng dagat oh. At saka, masarap kaya maligo sa dagat kaysa sa swimming pool.” Inangatan niya lang ito ng kilay at humugot ng malalim na hininga. “No. I prefer pool than the ocean.” “Ganoon ba?

The ocean I am once fond of. Maybe the sea that my mom talked about before was different from the sea that I experienced. It was good for her, but for me... It's my greatest destroyer. She didn't tell me that, behind the joy and calmness it could bring us, was the painful realization that it was only short-lived. The ocean can be your worst fear and nightmare; they're ominous and unpredictable. The violent waves, the storm, the hurricane... They can annihilate you in a single blow. They will wreck, leaving you in pieces.
