It takes a strong woman to keep her tears hidden
Cloaked and unseen by those who are supposed to comfort her
Iron jawed, she gets out of bed and act as though everthing is all right
It takes a strong woman to put up a smile for her baby
Greater than a theatre artist to put up a smile and talk to her child like everything is alright
A challenge that she gloriously overcome
When the day ends...when she's in the company of showers and solitude of water
Her emotions break. Tears fell down from her eyes without even her knowing
She silently prays because that's all she has to cling for..

Graver than an Affair
If a husband is a good provider
Society dictates that a wife should not complain
But there certain things money can't buy
Like taking over an hour or 2 off from your mother duty time
Frustrations often take over when you're thrust upon a new role
When you have to leave the old you and turn into something new
But there are moments that you'll miss them
The thought of being carefree is a feeling you miss and expunge at the same time
Moments when you want a ME time will be less and less
And you resent your partner's social freedom because the lack of yours
It reaches a point where you just want to be away from him
Away from the new you & just enjoy the old you even for a second
Feeling misreable when you should be happy is graver than having an affair
It opens doors for pretensions which eventually cannot be fixed.
These are the times you pray hard enough to be strong
Strong enough even to ignore your husband's snores...

BAR FLUNKER BLUES:
Unsolicited Pieces of Advice You Love to Hate
If there’s a perfect time to shut your trapper, this
would be it.
The moment you don’t see your name being flashed on that
screen in Faura
Is a Cinderella after midnight feeling that turns you
into a monster bulldog
But wait, the worst part has yet to come
Like a baby learning to speak for the first time
You can feel the stares of people who want nothing to
comfort you and say
“Awwww” “oooos” “haist” “tsk tsk”
But wait, you have yet to hear the pieces of advice you
really didn’t solicit
1. All in God’s time
This makes you think that God didn’t want you to pass the
Bar this year. Admit it, that exact moment you didn’t see your name, you
intentionally and momentarily cursed the faith that you so believe in. Don’t
worry, God is forgiving that he’ll let you repent; just make sure you do
repent.
What my brain
says: Shut the fuck up! You didn’t
take the Bar so you don’t know the feeling. God isn’t a fickle person that prevented
me from passing. The fault is mine; maybe I didn’t study much or appreciated a
question wrong. Point is, God always want you to pass. You just have to work
harder for it.
2. Maybe it’s your handwriting, try making it
bigger.
This is the classic one. Blame it on the way I write.
Even if you let them see your now newly constructed perfect handwriting, they
will always find fault in it just to justify the fact that you didn’t pass the
Bar.
What my brain
says: Yup, Bar is so fickle that it
all boils down how perfect your handwriting is (rolling my eyes). Stop judging
the way I write.
3. Study harder
this time; maybe you didn’t study much
Oh yeah! The past 6mos.of my life was just like reading a
50 Shades of Grey book and browsing through the pages. Me not studying enough
for the Bar can be the culprit, but please don’t accuse me of not giving my
100,000% into it. It’s an insult to my efforts and intelligence.
What my brain
says: Only people who didn’t go to
law school will have the audacity to tell you this.
These unsolicited pieces of advice really put the cream
in my night cap. Even I feel my own negativity leaking from this article. I
just want to say to all people who passed the BAR first time and those you
haven’t opened even a single page of codal, words of encouragement has its own
place. If a person doesn’t seek advice from you, don’t give it. A simple smile
and encouragement will do without turning into the Roman Catholic Pope.
Sometimes a simple gesture, a smile and a non-judgmental
dialogue is just enough; and oh, the presence of booze also smoothens the blow.
NEVER GIVE UP HOPE.
FORGETTING
MY ACADEMIC EX
You will always remember the feeling of falling in love
Whether it’s with your grade school crush or your
chocolate best friend
You will never forget how euphoric it was to finally
realize that you have within your grasp the ultimate dream
Then shit happens and it disappoints you big time
For a moment you made my life miserable
But because I’m a relentless romantic
I stood my ground and thought I could win you over
But you run my patience and faith to the ground
When a moment became moments, you tested my determination
Like December’s chill fighting off the summer’s wind
I hold on to the dream that you so invitingly parade before my
face
Until it felt like I have wasted tons of tears and truck
loads of emotion just overcoming you
Every now and then you still haunt me
Until I realize that you are something that I can never
escape but guiltily try every chance I get
Your elusiveness is like a drug I want to try
Baiting me to risk everything and forget the
practicalities of life
I can and will never forget the hardships we’ve through
From the first powerful frustrating feeling up to the 4th
numbing sarcastic laugh
Despite the mental and emotional torture you so willingly
parade before me
You are still something that I still desire to overcome.
As we again come face to face soon my academic ex
Let me say that there will come a time that you’ll only
be a laughing memory
When that time comes, I will embrace you willingly
Finally we’ll be equals and you’ll stop being a dream and
turn into reality
BAR I WILL WIN OVER YOU!
