I have always wanted to be a liar.
But I was a bad liar.
I was very bad at it.
So I never comfort him with lies
But instead, I chose to hurt him with the truth.
And that is quite fair, right?
If you lie to me despite of me being truthful to you,
I felt like a bad guy in this situation.
But still, my parents still see me as a liar
Even after all this time, even I tried my best not to lie
Still, I was seen as a liar.
she does not resort to violence—
she only cuts her hair short.

someone once told me "hair holds memories"
is it true? is that it?
but when did I cut my own hair short, the memories remained.
maybe it is a fad or a lie after all.
I'm not mad, just venting out
I spread no hate or evil deeds, just ranting out.

I freed myself for a day, cleared my schedule for you
Yet you are not cooperating with me.
Tch. It does not always work that way. I hope you know that.

I gave contributions out of my partner's pocket
Just to contribute for this event
But it made me feel like I was the one at fault
I never told you to carry all the burden of spending too much beyond your means
But later on, I lose the interest to go on and attend the event
To let everybody know, you're the hero
You try to showoff because you contributed a lot

I hope you should know that
I cannot contribute more than what you expected me to give now
Is it too much to ask? A peace of mind is what I needed.
"Did you know someone told me?
A friend of mine said... Do you know about so-and-so?"

You know what? I don’t care.

Before you assume I’m the person they talk about, ask me first. Confirm it with me— whether it’s true or not.

Girl, if you don’t want people thinking your character’s cheap, don’t be a backstabber. Don’t be a gossip. Stop spreading lies that aren’t even true.


If you think you gained something from my life, then sana all. Should I start handing out study guides and questionnaires? You seem to know so much—almost tempting enough to knock you down a peg.

And for those still clueless about their own lives, just ask your neighborhood gossip. They always know more than you do.
SANA ALL- loosely translates to "I wish everyone had that" or "Lucky you, hope everyone gets the same" in English.
The only games I play are the ones you won’t— not for lack of skill, but fear of a fair fight.

No sleight of hand, no silver-tongued deceit, no victory stolen in the dark.

So, play true, or don’t play at all.

So take your best shot. I know you thrive in poker, where the stakes are built on bluffs and the win lies in sleight of hand.

But I don’t play at the table. I don’t sit and exchange pleasantries with hypocrites— the ones who wear virtue like a mask, saints when you’re watching, but serpents when you turn away.

Their whispers weave rumors, their tongues sharpened with lies. Smiles in daylight, daggers in the dark.

I don’t play their game. I don’t sit. I don’t bow. And I don’t break.
I take my aim at the target, pull back the string, steady the breath, and send my victory straight to the center— no gamble, no guess— just a bull’s-eye.

Because even the devil plays this ******* game to claim your soul. But I, on the other hand, plays fair by deeds and redemption, forgiveness and having constant communication, faith and belief in God. Only he is deserving of claiming my soul.
My cousin is an atheist which he never believes in God. He believes more in the devil. My grandmother once practiced black magic and witchcraft. I just wondered why our home sometimes feels eerie. I tried to educate her when she was ill up until now, but she never listened, saying she has no sins to confess or mistakes to acknowledge.
Well, in someone else's story,
we are always the villains.
We are the bad guys.

And the ones telling the story?
They are the so-called "victims."

You're not just great at making up stories—
you're a master at acting,
at lifting yourself up,
at fooling people with sweet words.
but count me out,
because all that you have fooled has been foolish
hence, I stand out from the rest,
I was not easily fooled or brainwashed.
You're just starting to think of your plan,
but I'm already one step ahead of you.
You could win an award for that.

World-class talent earns awards like Gawad Urian and FAMAS— Maybe you should consider it, right?

Cinemalaya, MMFF—
Why not try auditioning?
Who knows, you might just get lucky.
It’s not exactly flattering,
but this song always plays in my mind
whenever you resurface:

Say hello to the girl you can't let go.
Does she know when you're home,
it's me you're trying to call on your phone?
I'm holding back everything I wanna say—
consider yourself lucky
that I'm choosing to behave.

Does she know?
That you have a dummy account?
That through your dump account,
you still try to message me?
You have a girlfriend now, boy.
So why do you keep insisting on reaching out?

We never got closure, and honestly—
there’s nothing left to say.
It’s over.

What was the point of reaching out to me?
To check in?
You should have done that back when we were still together.
What changed now?
When you chose to break us apart,
did you think about it then,
or is it only crossing your mind now
that you’ve found happiness with someone else?

Every time I hear our theme song,
I no longer think of you.
I no longer remember our memories.
The only thing that comes to mind is the moment you left me.

You should’ve realized that back when we were together.
So sorry, boy—
your loss, not mine.
