HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS

We are the positive change we seek in this world.

Kinutil, made from Tubâ (palm wine), eggs and cacao powder. My 60++ Tita prepared and introduced this to us last night. Reminds me of Bailey's or eggnog. The name of this Filipino alcoholic drink from the Visayas Islands and Mindanao means "stirred", from Visayan kutil ("to stir"). Well, I am stirred by the thought that just when you think you've tried and outgrown it all, you rediscover something old with a twist that makes it new and interesting again. Learning never grows old. Cheers and here's to more happy birthdays, Tita Ayan! 💕🍻 : : #kinutil #cacao #tuba #Filipinodrink #drinkingsesh (at Daanlungsod, Medellin, Cebu) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpokr9LpScP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Forget Me Not Series 2, Chapter 13 - She's The One ... He’ll get her back, he told himself. He has to. For, in a world of betrayal and lies, he just realized his one truth - he loves her. He loves her alright. Even if he was chagrined to find that the woman he fell for was actually so mean. When did she get this heart of ice? How could she cut him off so easily? She didn’t even want to hear from him now like losing him was just fine. Unconsciously, he rubbed a hand over his broken heart. Ayin may not be the first woman to pitch a tent in his heart, but upon breaking camp, she’s the first one ever to retreat with enough power and ammunition to successfully ignite and bomb it all to pieces. It hurt like hell. In a way, she’s the Harley Quinn to his Joker. So he knew then… She’s The One. ... 📍Click link on bio to read full chapter or go to https://ayinism.wordpress.com/2022/03/04/shes-the-one/ 💋 : : : #webseries #ayinisms #romance #forgetmenotseries2 #lovestory #theone #whenamanlovesawoman #shestheone https://www.instagram.com/p/CarPv5vJbv4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Chapter 12/15 - Oh Darkness, Old Friend ... Darkness is a green-eyed beautiful seductress. With long tresses the color of midnight sky and skin drenched in creamy latte, her beauty rivals that of the pale moon rising on the sea. Darkness has magic. When she wants to, her rich honeyed voice could temper the most vicious nightmares or numb the sharpest of pains. Darkness is known far and wide as a lover of troubled souls. And for the past weeks, Will had been flirting with her. Every time the beast in him was agitated, Will was always tempted to visit Darkness’ lair. Darkness owns a vast forest of towering trees, brooks, cliffs and valleys, all under the protective blanket of the sound of silence. When the world was too loud and heavy to bear, it was the perfect respite. Lost in Darkness, Will didn’t have to listen to the many rules and demands of the world. Nor hear the gentle cries of kindness, or worse, the stinking breath of traitors. Walking into the quiet woods, he was far away from the lies that people tell and the suffocating sweetness of goodness. But what he liked most about Darkness was that she was never afraid of the beast inside him. She didn’t think it was ugly. In fact, they're friends. Unlike Ayin, Darkness helps him free the beast and together -- without the light-- they howl, they bite and roam free in the night, with no one telling them they’re bad. His beast is free to run wild in the forest, stretching its muscles and imagining it’s strong and handsome, lapping in waters that don’t mirror its scars and ugliness. Darkness hides it all. He was grateful for that. ... 📍 Click link on bio to continue reading full chapter or go to https://ayinism.wordpress.com/2022/02/27/oh-darkness-old-friend/ 💋 : : : #webseries #ayinisms #romance #forgetmenotseries2 #lovestory #hellodarkness #darkness #cheating https://www.instagram.com/p/CaeieM3p0Ba/?utm_medium=tumblr

Chapter 11/15 - Hello, Pain ... She didn’t know how long she sat there on one of the chapel’s wooden benches, staring at the silver cross on top of the spotless white-covered table up front. She didn’t realize she was twisting and untwisting the towelette in her hands as she tried desperately to just breathe. Inhale and exhale, inhale and exhale… Her body felt like stone, numb and frozen. Despite the cold, she realized she was sweating. She lifted her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her face. That was when she smelled him. For a moment, she was surprised to find his towelette on her hand. After a beat of blankly staring at it, she couldn’t stop it -- she buried her face in the thick cloth and breathed him. It was then she finally broke down and cried. Soundlessly, openly and without shame. With snot running from her nose. She was oblivious to the only other person in that prayer room - a 60ish lady who didn’t mind her as well, wrapped up as she was in the many mysteries of the holy rosary. A few moments later though, she sensed the familiar footsteps of an old friend. Her skin tingled with dread as that friend sat beside her, and carelessly put an arm around her. She glanced up to meet the taunting eyes of the most annoying, gleefully wicked and vicious creature she knew so well. Ayin whispered hoarsely, “Hello, Pain. We meet again.” ... 📍 Click link on bio to read full chapter or go to https://ayinism.wordpress.com/2022/02/22/hello-pain/ 💋 : : : #webseries #ayinisms #romance #forgetmenotseries2 #lovestory #breakingup #thebreakup #brokenheart #relationshippains https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSbHPav7Nn/?utm_medium=tumblr
