Secrets. Classified info. Sometimes juicy, sometimes dark. Whispers. Hidden desires. Trade secrets. Intimate. Private. Codes. Skeletons in the closet. Do not enter. Confidential. Under wraps. Ssshhh. Don’t tell a soul.
You are not alone. We all have secrets.
Post your secret under another name, another e-mail. I’ll respond to your secret with a similar one of my own. You can share as many secrets as you want.
This entry is inspired by Postsecret and a friend’s blog entry. I’m leaving this entry up for a week because (1) I won’t be able to update in the coming week and (2) it would be nice to have another outlet for secrets, i.e. this entry. I’m not sure how many people will be willing to do this; it will be an interesting experiment. See you in a week.
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

September 10, 2006 at 12:29 pm (18 years ago)my secret, I already told you on the other thread: I don’t have a green thumb even though it may look like I have one because I blog about my backyard a lot. Truthfully, I just like to eat and cook what comes out of the garden. My hubby does all the gardening. I’m the instigator and cheerleader

September 10, 2006 at 1:52 pm (18 years ago)I remember when I was in Elementary, my teacher was selling some school supplies. I stole some of it. Puro kasi negosyo ang ginagawa kesa magturo.
007
September 11, 2006 at 6:42 am (18 years ago)I wish he had a crush on me. He’s married though so I don’t think he knows I exist. I don’t want to be a homewrecker anyway.
ex-girlfriend
September 11, 2006 at 8:16 am (18 years ago)I had a relationship with another girl for a year and 10 months. We became a couple on our senior year in high school, then we broke up during our sophomore year in college. I broke up with her pala, because I was already interested in somebody else.
Don’t tell anybody ha, Toni 😉 hehehehe.
maysikretoako
September 11, 2006 at 12:31 pm (18 years ago)ang bad mo toni! 😀 but i trust that you’d keep our IPs to yourself.
marami rin akong sikreto. isa dyan–at baka mashock ka, prepare!–around 6 years ago, i was kinda promiscuous. my period was a bit delayed one time–but that’s not the shock yet.
email mo ko, i’d tell you what was more shocking.
another secret, i sometimes lurk on my partner’s exes. one time, i managed to get one of his ex’s resume by posing as a headhunter. gusto ko lang i-prove sa sarili ko na mas maganda ang credentials ko kesa sa kanya 😛
Toni
September 11, 2006 at 1:04 pm (18 years ago)maysikretoako: Hindi ako marunong tumingin at mag-track ng IP addresses.
No worries.
anya
September 11, 2006 at 2:19 pm (18 years ago)Like the others, I was also thinking of the IP thing but I give you my full trust so here it goes.
Back in High School (an exclusive school for girls), one of my teachers kissed me on the lips. Prior to that he was already giving me special attention in class but I didn’t really give it any bad light. I even enjoyed the attention. He even calls me at home (without my parents’ consent ofcourse). Until one time, he cornered me and kissed me. Yuck! I was terribly shocked. After that, I totally avoided him. It was hard ‘coz he was all over the campus. He tried to explain but I just didn’t want anything to do with him.
I never told my parents. Until today, only a handful of friends know.
I still regret not reporting it to school officials. I sometimes think that he might have victimized other students after me.
Speed
September 11, 2006 at 11:04 pm (18 years ago)I like you and if you aren’t married, I will ask you out. One tacky thing I did, tried checking your profile at friendster/myspace. And I’m not even an active user of both. Now these are secrets I keep with my friends. It will cause an uproar having a “crush” with a blogger I don’t know personally and to top it all, stalk someone that way.
Now, to submit this or not…..submit!
maysikretdinako
September 12, 2006 at 3:45 am (18 years ago)This is a fun one!!! My sikret is that I google iyong ex noong hubby ko. I don’t know why siguro para ma i prove ko rin na mas mabuti ako ang pinakasalan niya. Pero I think it’s more of an insecurity. I also think medyo inggitera ako, because it seems like na pag merong bago iyong iba – nangangati ako na bumili or magkaroon din ng ganoon. Perfo of course, I’m in denial and to everybody I try to show na “perfect” ako. I don’t know if the only one guilty of this, pero one of my biggest secret is I try to hide what’s “in” me because of the fear na I won’t please the people around me…
haay it’s good to get that off my chest.
stickyfinger
September 12, 2006 at 6:52 am (18 years ago)i shoplifted in a store. not because i dont have the money, but i guess, just for the thrill of it. ayun, nahuli ako. sobrang nakakahiya. i wanted to die right then & there. it’s something i regret doing and i still feel bothered & humiliated every time i think of it. it’s as if i cant forgive myself for doing such a stupid act.
insecurewife
September 12, 2006 at 7:02 am (18 years ago)ms. maysikretdinako – pareho tayo, i also googled my husband’s ex. it only made me feel bad coz she seems to have accomplished a lot in her career. lalo tuloy ako na-insecure. also, i opened my husband’s file drawer and saw old pics and greeting cards from his ex — pinagtatapon ko!! i also check my husband’s email account every now and then, without him knowing. haay, im so bad.
Toni
September 12, 2006 at 9:20 am (18 years ago)annabanana: I promise. And that’s no secret. {hugs}
JMom : Your cheerleading is inspiration enough for his garden to grow! Ok my secret: I don’t have a green thumb. The only plant in my home seems to be dying and I feel incredibly guilty for not taking care of it as much as I should. Sigh.
jessica: Me too.
Bakekang : When I was in elementary, I made my own stationery (as in bond paper and colored pens) and sold it to my classmates. There were other girls who did the same thing and I was incredibly jealous of their artistic statio. I think that’s when my competitive streak began.
007: Ah, I have a crush on someone too. H knows little about it, hee hee.
ex-girlfriend: I think girl-girl couples have it harder than guy-guy couples. Several of my close friends are in same-sex relationships. No I won’t tell anyone, ex-gf. 😉
maysikretoako : Paano kita i-i-email hindi naman kita kilala? Ha ha ha, loko mo naman ako eh. And wow, you’re so clever with that scheme ha! Okay my secret is that I once googled H’s exes. Then again doesn’t every wife do that? Ha ha naghahanap ng karamay!
anya : Back in high school (I too went to an exclusive school for girls and all our teachers were women), I had crushes on the one of the tomboys because they looked like really cute guys! Grabe. I sometimes wonder if they’re still tomboys now or if they became ladylike when they moved on to college.
Speed: Awww, that’s very flattering. Can I say that you brightened up my Tuesday morning? My secret is that I do wonder if anyone crushed on me. I feel so losyang kasi most of the time.
maysikretdinako : I understand what you mean. My secret is that as much as I say that I don’t care what others think, fact is there’s still a huge part in me that cares. I hate that internal tug-of-war.
stickyfinger: My secret is that as a 2nd-grader, I would steal 2-peso coins everyday from my Tita’s study table. Eek. Kakahiya. I think I did it to augment my tiny allowance. I also think I did it because I was KSP (kulang sa pansin). It was a tough time in my childhood and I guess I wanted my relatives to notice me and not my sisters naman.
insecurewife : My secret is that one of the most traumatic moments in my life was in college — my ex-boyfriend asked me to tear up my Ethan Hawke pin-up collection because he was jealous of the actor! Dios mio. Ako naman si tanga, nagpupupunit. My huge corkboard also held pictures of my kiddie penpals and pictures of other actors. I had to take them down too. I don’t remember if I kept them or tore them up as well — basta I know I don’t have them anymore. After I did that, I felt kinda glad I made my bf happy, but the truth is that incident haunts me till this day. I was too naive to realize he was being such an ass. Maybe that was one trigger in my life that discouraged me from being a selosa when it came to my next relationships. Hay naku, I wish somehow this ex-bf of mine knows about this para hindi na niya maulit sa iba niyang relationships.
Wow, that was… cleansing.

September 13, 2006 at 5:16 am (18 years ago)Wala akong secret. Kang – tsaka four flowers meron.
Ang secret ko is that I mastered mahjong since I was 9 and was playing vs. adult players as a substitute for whoever is temporarily away or late and playing their money for them – and winning.
Toni
September 13, 2006 at 9:46 am (18 years ago)maysikretoako : Valid nga!
Sidney : My secret is I’ve wanted to be Italian for a long time.
stickyfinger2 : My secret is I’ve never shoplifted — too much of a scaredy cat to do so.
Junnie : I love that! Mahjong master ka pala. My secret is that I don’t like playing mahjong with the oldies (except my grandmother) because they take soooo long before make a throw. I enjoy playing with my sisters, my aunts and uncles, my Mom and my grandma.

September 13, 2006 at 9:54 am (18 years ago)My first kiss was with a boy probably 8 years my Junior. Tanda ko na nun eh wala pang first kiss so I really wanted to find out how and there was this boy who always liked to hang out with me..so got his first kiss as well (probably). The next time I saw him, gusto pa uli kundi sasabihin daw nya sa mommy nya. eh sabi ko, eh di sige sabihin nya. I never encouraged him again at iniwasan ko na kasi he was at his puberty then.
M
September 13, 2006 at 11:00 am (18 years ago)had a fling with a married guy, who, 10 years ago, used to be my most ardent suitor. he showed the same intensity of affection to me like when he was single…and so i fell into a “trap” because i was nursing a broken heart then. his wife got suspicious and she still doesn’t know. eh friends na kami ni wifey nya. as in chika friends. i still don’t know whether to tell her or not eventually :/

September 13, 2006 at 2:46 pm (18 years ago)I’ve been thinking about what to post here but I can’t think of anything interesting enough! My secret is that I’m awfully boring!
lynn
September 13, 2006 at 9:15 pm (18 years ago)i am single living in with a married man, the father of my 5 1/2 year old kid. not a secret in real life but something that’s not worth mentioning in the blogosphere.
i also have a naked photo circulating in the net 😀
kmt
September 14, 2006 at 4:33 am (18 years ago)i have a lot of secrets and skeletons in my closet. one is that i google my first love on a regular basis (like maybe 1x/month or so). it only started recently, around 2004, despite the fact that we broke up in 1996! another secret is that i consider him “the one that got away” although only my best friend knows that.

Bakekang
September 14, 2006 at 5:12 pm (18 years ago)Another secret pa:
Noong high school ako maraming beses din akong di nagbabayad sa jeep kapag sumasakay. Pumupuwesto ako sa dulo para maging tagaabot at maisip noong driver na bayad ko iyon. One time bago ako bumaba, meron nagparang babae, biglang tumigil ang jeep at hinabol ng driver iyong girl dahil di raw nagbayad. Natakot ako mula noon kaya paysung na bigla ang beauty ko.

September 16, 2006 at 4:34 am (18 years ago)i had a relationship with a korean guy who is 16 yrs older than me. he was the first guy in my life and i fell in love with him. sadly, he wasn’t serious with me. i guess for him, it’s purely sexual. he later on confessed that he’s engaged to be married to a korean girl. since then, we stopped our communication na. and then after that, i had a relationship naman with a married guy. wasn’t really in love with him. i was just longing to be loved. it lasted 2 yrs. this is something that i never told or admitted to anyone. not even my closest friends. kakahiya kase, i was too stupid when it comes to relationships. good thing is, now im wiser. finally found a great guy who loves me just as much as i love him.

September 16, 2006 at 10:33 pm (18 years ago)Toni napaka juicy ng post na ito at ang mga comments!
Ako ang secret ko ay minsan nag wo-wonder ako kung lesbian ako. Hindi ata, bi-curious lang siguro, kasi talagang mas gusto ko ang lalaki. Pero nag fantasize din ako sa ibang bababe, at may mga crush din akong babae…usually mga celebrities (non Filipino ones). Pag meron akong makitang sexy woman, I stare at them, and even point them out to husband who knows my little fantasies. He doesn’t mind. Napaka secure ng asawa ko!

September 17, 2006 at 4:47 am (18 years ago)naging kabit na ako. bf ko, splinit-an ako nung nalaman niyang na rape ako ng halos di ko kilala, sabi ba naman ng hayup, i asked for it daw. tangna talaga yung panahon na yon. para akong puta, pakiramdam ko puta ako, pakiramdam ko yun tingin sa akin ng lahat, walang pwera pwera. muntik na akong makapatay pero di na lang natuloy dahil natakot mga kaibigan ko sa intention kong gawin ng totoo. matagal bago ko naiahon sarili ko sa bangungot na iyon. sobrang tagal, inabot ng taon taon. isa pa, meron kang commenter sa blog mo na hindi ko talaga maatim atim. kung makita ko siya sa personal, baka patirin ko o ipa-paddle sa iba. tingin ko sa kanya, malupit at sobrang insekyur kaya sa katapusan ng lahat, kinaaawaan ko na rin lang. mahirap magalit ng lubusan sa isang taong hindi mo mahal. o anong reward ko: pinaka malupit na sikreto? medyo low key pa ako nito, baka ma-eskandalo ang mga iba mong taga-comment dito na sobrang bait.
kindofcaughtfingers
September 17, 2006 at 12:07 pm (18 years ago)Stickyfingers 1 and 2, I did the same for almost 4 years before I got caught. While they took inventory of the loot I was caught with, parang I was still on a high as technically it was not I that they were documenting pero ang alias that my friends and I created. So surprising as well embarrassing especially coming from a person who is in law enforcement!
delish
September 17, 2006 at 9:09 pm (18 years ago)Once when I was in grade 5 or 6, i shoplifted one of those slum note thingies… actually, I squeezed 2 slum notes into one container and paid for only one… that’s still stealing right?
why did i do it? my disposable allowance has never been a lot to start with but i think that time, i just really wanted to engage in delinquent behavior…
(great idea for a post!)

September 18, 2006 at 12:00 am (18 years ago)Another one: A lady customs’ agent asked me para anakan siya, buti di siya nabuntis, asawa pala siya ng colonel at anak siya ng military general…oi wag kayong tsismosa.

September 18, 2006 at 5:12 am (18 years ago)my secret is that i watched the entire first season of america’s got talent.

Toni
September 18, 2006 at 3:20 pm (18 years ago)pakyut: My secret is that I wish my first kiss was more romantic. Ha ha!
M : My secret is I wonder sometimes how my first boyfriend’s mom would’ve made as a mom-in-law. She was a nice lady.
xtianne : My secret is that I fear people find me boring. I know they do.
lynn Says: My secret is that I wish I had learned to live on my own before I got married.
kmt : My secret is that I once wished this guy’s heart would break as badly as he broke mine. I wonder if that wish ever came true.
girl in the shadow : My secret is that I’m very particular about grammar and spelling, and I hate it when I make those mistakes.
peace : My secret is that I fear my friends think ill of me behind my back. Praning!
Bakekang : My secret is that I entered a theater without a ticket. The lady asked me where my ticket was, and I told her I had given it to the other ticket lady already. Truth is I had forgotten my ticket at home. I was in 4th grade.
suzaine : My secret is I was once like Julia Roberts in “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” I kinda fell off the bed when a then-close friend told me he was getting married.
lala : My secret is I too point out beautiful girls in malls to my husband. I do that partly because I find them beautiful, but more so because I fear he’d point them out to me first. Aray diba!
nadia cole : My secret is I wonder kung sino yun kinaiinisan mo, hehe.
kindofcaughtfingers : My secret is that for someone who’s been working in advertising for 8 years now, I still fall for commercials that promise you this and that. I should know better!
delish : My secret is that I still enjoy answering autograph books. Heck, look at all the tags I answer!
Tyongnyo : My secret is that I haven’t dipped my fingers in the church’s Holy Water bowls for a long time now. I fear the germs in it, no matter how holy it may be!
petite : My secret is that I sometimes enjoy watching Eat Bulaga’s Bulagaan. He he he. Mababaw lang kaligayahan ko.

September 18, 2006 at 11:40 pm (18 years ago)same here. i used to have crushes on some of the “tomboys” before. those “tomboys” have turned out as pretty moms today. we just have a good laugh thinking about the old days when they looked and acted so much like one of the boys.

September 19, 2006 at 2:04 am (18 years ago)toni, no fair! that’s not a secret. to be frank, i am not sure that this commenter comes here. i just assumed that she does. o ayan, may gender.
xtianne
September 19, 2006 at 3:46 am (18 years ago)Aww I’m sure they don’t Toni, I bet an afternoon with you would be filled with lots of kwento and laughter
When I meet new people they probably find me boring because I don’t make jokes and stick to safe small talk. I’m afraid of offending them or something, because I have a rather strange sense of humor and I make fun of myself a lot.
Toni
September 19, 2006 at 8:30 am (18 years ago)nadia: Hahaha sige na nga. My secret is nalulungkot ako pag walang cumocomment sa posts ko. Babaw ba? Hee hee.
xtianne: Sweetie, I’ve met you several times and never found you boring. 😉 I understand you because I too don’t crack jokes and boy do I hate small talk. Especially if it’s business-related. It’s like “Let’s just do business and get outta here.” I’m not very machika. Except through blogging and writing.

June 5, 2017 at 2:33 pm (7 years ago)There are various kinds of sex toys and products today that can enhance your sexual performance, from lubricants for women experiencing dryness, to realistic dildos for those missing their partner.
