Self-love is a major theme for 2018 and it’s no surprise. People are usually very busy living their lives and taking care of their loved ones that they tend to neglect themselves. We forget that our greatest love story should be with ourselves—take care of yourself and you’ll be rewarded; if you look good, you’ll feel great.

Sometimes, eating hamburgers makes me sad. It's because it brings back a part of my memory that is hard to digest.

I remember my mother struggles ever since papa left us. We have nothing but roofs on our head from relatives who are ready to adopt us for a day or two. We are used to eating salt and rice just to fill our empty stomachs. I know when mama hides her tears because she doesn't want us to see it. I feel her pain and agony whenever she sees us hungry.

When she got her new job, she always brings us hamburgers at night. She hides from the dark and softy call our names to wake us up from our slumber. Softly so we don't wake up our relatives whom we are staying in. As if she's not hurt, as if she's not in pain, she surprises us with a home made hamburger in her hands. I always wish she tell us how she feel. I always wish she opens up to us because I want her to feel that we understand. That we love her no matter what. No need for a hamburger. No need for her to seek at night.

I remember going to the nearest mall with my sister after our school just to play games at Timezone. Inside we were like animals out of the cage, wildly clicking the button to win some prizes. It allowed us to be as competitive as we can be. It's like a different dimension where we can freely express ourselves. Last week, I got a chance to be a kid once again when Timezone opens their largest branch in the country at Ayala Malls Feliz.
