100 Years (My 50th post)

Like a tenderly loving mother, I conceived this blog like a personal child into my womb of consciousness. I conceptualized a personal sanctuary for my little, unborn fetus, whose bright future remains to be seen. I promised to nurture this brainchild of mine into this beautiful world of peace, tranquility and serenity.

Almost three years have passed, and several painful and satisfying experiences later, comes my 50th post, to which I am celebrating with this current entry.



This blogger world is a cosmos of uncertainty. A lot of good writers have perished—reaching the zenith at an inopportune time and falling down into the abyss of literary inferno. The Unbearable Lightness is no exception. Several times I have remained in hiatus due to my studies, work schedule and brain drain. In fact, it is only recently that I have become more productive than ever, producing atleast 18 beautifully-written (in my own opinion) entries in the past two months, almost one-third of the total posts in my site so far.


In fact I would have reached the 50th post earlier if it weren’t for my deleted posts after I learn that some of my professors (and family members) do visit my site, but this post is extremely important to me nonetheless. I would like to take a walk down memory lane and revisit some of my most-loved posts, in this special entry of “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.”

1. Unwritten/Irreplaceable.

This is one of my funniest entries so far. This is what 2-years of celibacy, coupled with repressed emotions and an inappropriately-timed trance could do to a gullible person like me. Written in medical-ese, this will remain as one of my most cherished post ever.



2. As The Sun Stood Still.

On the other side of the spectrum, As The Sun Stood Still is the most emotional, melancholic, depressing, gloomy and poignant piece that I have written for the past 2 years. Rereading this post, which is dedicated to My Beloved Special Someone who left for the States for good, never fails to bring me to tears. Yup, two years have passed and the emotions written there still touch my heart and soul, still genuine and sincere, haunting me till time immemorial.

3. A New Day Has Come.

“The first step”—it’s all that it takes. And when it’s all good and done, the view of the other side... is spectacular.

As my “moving on” post, this is my most inspiring, empowering entry after several break-ups, entering into wrong relationships, and painful personal tragedies have happened in my life. Reading this entry brings a little smile to my face, that there is still hope, and there is always a chance to be happy, no matter how scarce it might seem to be.



4. Some Hearts.

“Everyone has a purpose on this earth, and I think you have found yours” is one phrase I want to hear, even once in my lifetime. This post is dedicated to everyone whose hearts have been broken and have been given a second chance to beat again. This entry inspires us to make the most of our second chances, to realize that heartaches are never the end but are new beginnings, and to learn to find even a little time to listen to ourselves and to our heart’s dictates.



5. Song Beneath The Song

This post lists the Ten Things I Love About Myself, a potpourri of blessings I am truly proud of and won’t ever exchange for anything else in this world. It took me quite some time to realize how blessed I was with such wonderful gifts, and I hope reading this one will definitely make you feel the same way too.



There they are, some of my most meaningful posts so far. My only wish is that with the continued support of people who reads this site, no matter how painful it is to read all my ranting and complaints, you can find a piece of solace, joy, or comfort written within the lines of my posts. That in this way, I could be proud to say that this blog, indeed, has a purpose, and I have found it in you.

Cheers and congratulations to all of us!
