Yeah, I'm still here


You know, there is nothing greater than deciding in your life that things maybe really are black and white! And this guy Ben, who clearly takes you for granted, who serially takes advantage of you, is bad! And what I'm saying is good! See what I mean? You shouldn't be the substitute for anybody. This guy should be right here, right now, doing this...

Aasa ba 'ko sa 'yo?

And once again
A statement
Then
A  question caught me
Off guard.

Ask me again
Sing it to me again.

Maybe next time
I'll have composure.
Maybe
I'll find my voice.
And
I'll find the perfect song
To answer that question
To complement the second song
You told me was your song for me.

But please do tell me, WTH do you want with me?
WHICH PART IS FOR ME?
AND JUST SO YOU KNOW,
KANTA KO 'TO SA 'YO BEFORE! Lord please ano nanaman? :(

For you, a thousand times over

        "It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn't make everything all right. It didn't make anything all right. Only a smile. A tiny thing. A leaf in the woods, shaking in the wake of a startled bird's flight.
        But I'll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I witnessed the first flake melting.
        I ran."





But I'll take it. With open arms.

Finished it this afternoon. I look forward to reading it again. And again. And again :)

And after me?

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, 
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest; 
Where can we find two better hemispheres 
Without sharp north, without declining west? 
Whatever dies, was not mix'd equally; 
If our two loves be one, or thou and I 
Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die.



Plus, it's James Franco :)

Come Back And Haunt Me

You inhale.
And I count 1, 2 seconds
And three, you exhale.

And I breathe in the air you breathe out
It does not hold an uncommon scent
But the memory of you
And that smoke
And the air
And our gazes parting the moment they met
Made it intriguing
Unbelievable, quite unforgettable

But I leave things as they were
For there is assurance
We are
              not
                     going
                                  to
                                        happen.

But one could hope.


Yesterday was pretty awesome. 124 exam was okay, and our FN11 cinnamon rolls were FTW! (I would have to remind myself of uploads!) Acquaintance party after, and, to top everything off, Kowloon House with Tin, Chato, Jill, Choy, Miggy, Ate Mica, Ate Mela, Santi, Gab, and Paul! Friends, food, fun! :D

The above work is actually inspired by how some of us--yes, maybe that would also include me :) -- could actually be feeling. Lotsa heart aches in the air! Haha. But still, frieeeeends :D

It was an awesome daaayy! :D

I Am Gaining Momentum

It's been quite some time now that something, or anything really, has been going well for me. Studying has never been enough to help me get the grades I want. I've been missing in org activities (and still I'm thinking of joining another, wow). My appetite is as unstable as my mood swings-- I don't know maybe I'm growing some eating (and behavior) disorder. My body's not in condition that I can't even jog at least one full round of the acad oval, or stand after a few shots of, well, I don't really know what we were drinking. Ha. And I just can't get enough sleep-- for many different reasons each night! It's just so frustrating. I've been trying so hard to do things right, meet schedules, beat deadlines, and just make my life as smooth as possible, but it's doesn't seem to be so.


Maybe it is me. That I am trying to hard to get more even when my hands are already full. That I am too stubborn to want the things I want. That I am still too proud to surrender or accept defeat. That I am one big ball of insecurities, and I that what I do is my defense mechanism for it. That I am, still, after everything, not enough for myself.



I start this day with these realizations. It was a rough night last night, one of those I can barely remember, but would certainly make me blush and flush in embarrassment if I am told about it. It was a crazy week; a lot of impulsive moments, kamartiran, disappointments, and kalandian. Good or bad, I dunno. But nonetheless, I am still thankful for such things. 


Cheers to life! Through its highs and lows! And to the friends who help you get drunk, then those who really help  when you just can't handle your drunkenness! 

All of them, all of these, everything, after all, is a blessing (in disguise).



PS I called Tin last night to say sorry and to tell her that she was right. When we got to talk after my Katipunan stint, she told me that I was very unclear over the phone, and that she heard me saying, "I am gaining momentum." Ha. The things that come out of my stupid mouth. Not good. Haha.

On Its Axis





Don't say a word
Just come over and lie here with me
Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me
