"Ang puso parang pwet. Hindi dapat pinipigilan. Kaya ibuga na ang laman niyan. Lahat ng napanis na emosyon, at baho, pakawalan mo rito."

Rod Marmol, the author of Utot Catalog, started posting #Hugot poems and scribbles on Facebook back in April 2013

His social media posts, mostly about falling in love and falling out of it, stirred the hearts of the romantic Pinoys

What makes his words resonate to the readers' hearts is he uses the Filipino language to depict the most sensitive emotions that love could only inflict

He taught us that it's okay to talk about love; it's okay to get hurt from love; that we can still live after getting our hearts broken; that it's okay to get corny when expressing all our #feels using our Filipino language

Lumaya ka mula sa tabang ng umaga, sakay ng maitim na alon ng magkahalong putik, burak at luha. Lumangoy ang kaluluwa pabalik sa dagat kasama ng bawat sakit, gunita at pagkabalisa.

Ngunit nangako kang 'di ka bibitiw, "Kahit ilang milyong hampas ng baha, mahal 'wag kang mabahala." Pero nang humupa ang tubig, wala ka na aking pag-ibig. 'Di sana alintana kung nasira ang tahanan kung ang aking haligi ay mahahagkan. Pero hindi, pero wala, pero hanggang sa huling hantungan pinagdamutan tayo ng tadhana.

Hahanapin kita, sa ilalim ng mga nabubulok na kahoy, ng nangangamoy na mga basura, ng mga naaagnas na kapitbahay – hahanapin kita.

MAHAL KITA KASI SINUNGALING KA. Ayaw mong aminin sa sarili mo na may iba pang mas matamis na posibilidad sa labas ng mga yakap ko. Na makakahanap ka pa ng mas matangos na ilong na kikiliti sa mga pisngi mo, ng mas makinis na mukha na pwedeng haplusin sa umagang nakaka-umay sa tamlay. Ng isang taong mas madaling basahin, mas madaling mahalin. Kaya pakiusap. 'Wag kang mapapagod magsinungaling.
