Woman

August 9, 2019August 19, 2019 Anne J.Leave a comment

I am a passionate woman. I am passionate about womanhood. Womankind. I am not a feminist but I cheer women on. I support my sisters. It doesn’t mean that I do not get angry with women who are not good for the sisterhood. Today is National Women’s Day in South Africa. It commemorates the 1956…… Continue reading Woman

That’s right, I am writing today, although the featured image doesn’t support that claim. 🙂 But, here’s how it is at the moment, as I sit at my desk. I love looking at the moon. I started writing another one of those sensual poems… Smile as if to say I am fine, delighted. Charmed Since…… Continue reading Today, I #amwriting

IN YOUR ARMS Foreign universe Your strong arms wrap around me A dream. Illusion Yet your touch, your eyes piercing Caressing. ‘Tis home She smiles as she re-reads her finished poem for the nth time. Sometimes, her muse sits next to her. Those moments please her. All she needs to do is find the image…… Continue reading In his arms – #amwriting

A bit about me

Anne J.

Anne J.

I'm a Philippine island girl in Africa, a Filipino-South African. A mad banana woman that I am, I live "la vida loca". The banana part isn’t only because I'm Anna (Banana) but because an old boyfriend had observed that although Asian (yellow on the outside) I'm very much Caucasian in my way of thinking (white in the inside) and my actions, too. It's a rather accurate observation. I am that liberal-thinking and modern-acting Filipino... I remain my tragic-comedic self with a day job in slightly more serious field of Finance, Business Operations and Corporate Affairs.
