The past 3 weeks had been great. Thanks to my sister and my friends. Like the song in my head goes: As long as I know how to love, I know I’ll be alive… It’s time to face life once again.

Sun, sea, fresh air and friends. What more can I ask for? My summer was complete.

Na-experience mo na ba yung tipong may nakita kang tao na kamukha (as in sa porma, sa buhok sa posture) ng taong gusto mo at tipong kahit ilang buwan na kayong hindi nagkikita, o hindi ka nagkukuwento man lang tungkol sa kanya, ay nakaramdam ka pa rin ng matinding kaba, tuwa, pananabik at impulse na tumayo, tawagin at sundan ang taong iyon.

Siyempre, namalik mata ka lang naman kaya hindi mo na itutuloy. Nanghihinayang ka. Panandaliang gumising ang puso mo. Ang hindi nga lang maganda sa saglit an minulat mo ang mata mo,  isang panunukso lang pala an natunghayan mo.  Parang sumilip lang si prince charming. Pero sa totoong buhay.. hindi naman siya talaga lalapit sa iyo. Hindi ka naman niya hahalikan.

Ano ngayon ang gagawin ng prinsesa? Muling matutulog. Mangangarap. Maghihintay. Hahayaang sa pagtulog niya ay mawawaglit ang lahat ng nararamdaman at sa tamang panahon ay may bagong maliligaw na tagapagligtas an prinsipe. Malay mo magbago ang ihip ng hangin at bumalik pa rin ang dating prinsipe.

Ang layo na ng naabot nito. Hindi pa rin kaya sumuko ng prinsesa…

yesterday i came zooming into my cousin’s house. i was thinking about joe. his friend told me he had gotten back for a visit. i couldn’t stop thinking all day. she let me this book, “It’s Called A Breakup Because It’s Broken” which is another fabulous book written by the same author of He’s Just Not that Into You.

“OMG! I just saw Joe with his WIFE and son. Just now! Call me!”…it was Marie. A year after and she is the only one who constantly spots Joe around…Joe waved at her, her jaw dropped to the ground.

S’ya na lang ba lagi ang iintindihin ko? Paano naman ako? Marami na ako ginawang kagagahan dahil sa kanya. Kundi pa talaga ako mauntog e sarap ko talagang jombagin. Kailangan ko na talaga mag-move on.

Yeah, I know. Lilipas din ito. I’m getting by not because I want to but because I have to. Kailangang mahalin ko naman ang sarili ko.

Kagabi habang nanonood ako ng dokyu ng ABS-CBN entitled “Bumoto Kami Noon, Boboto Ba Kayo Ngayon?”, napapailing na lang ako habang nanonood. Nagulat ako na 29 years na pala since huling bumoto ang aktor/stage actor na si Pen Medina. E tsong, “tibak” yun e. Parang di ako makapaniwala na ang isang katulad n’ya ay pinapalampas at di nakikilahok sa halalan.

Kita n’yo naman kase ang mga tibak na ‘yan. Laging nasa kalsada at ala nang ginawa kundi magreklamo sa gobyerno tapos di naman pala bumoboto yung iba. Ano ba namang klaseng kalokohan yan?!

A Reply to my Brother

I wrote this as a reply to my brother’s post. I think he embodies a typical sheltered kid very much similar to who I was a couple of years ago. I just want to make him understand where I’m coming from… i just hope it’s COHERENT.

Nainggit ako, wahhhhhh! Yung talent ko kase sa music yung di ko mai-flaunt. Lahat ng nag-invite sa akin nung kabataan ko na magbanda, tinurn down ko…Ewan ko ba…Di ako confident kahit alam ko deep inside na yakang yaka ko naman.

Pag nga kinakantyawan ako na maki-jam, nahihiya ako kahit gusto ko sana. I have an ear for music pa naman. Matalas yung tenga ko sa pagtugtog ng instruments. Pero syet, nakatiwangwang pa rin ang talent ko sa pagkanta at pagtugtog till now…Hay…

i just realized something. i have commitment phobia. and with good reason. i realized that one of the reasons why i got together with joe was that our relationship didn’t hold on to any real, long term and serious promises to each other. frankly, i am afraid to make promises…i don’t like people making promises to me…because usually i or the person i am making the promise to could end up disappointed. especially promises of commitment. that scares the hell out of me.

Sabi nga ni friend, di daw ako si Darna para laging sumaklolo sa kanya pag nagipit s’ya. Ako naman kase si gagang bulag sa pag-ibig, feeling Darna sa pag-aalaga at pag-aasikaso sa kanya.

Maraming beses na akong nalagay sa alanganing sitwasyos dahil sa kanya. At pag lasing s’ya, naku, talagang pahirapan sa pag-pacify sa kanya. Eskandaloso s’ya sobra. As in pati Mommy n’ya minumura at tinutulak-tulak n’ya.

Anyways, I was surfing random sites when this popped out. It says “101 Things Not To Say During Sex” and boy do I agree. I’m gonna be honest that I once heard myself saying number 50. That was long ago and was a really, really bad move. Hope this would serve as a warning to those who can’t shut up their mouth while doing the deed. Enjoy!

101 Things Not To Say During Sex

1. But everybody looks funny naked!

2. You woke me up for that?

3. Did I mention the video camera?

4. Do you smell something burning?

5. (in a janitor’s closet) And they say romance is dead…

Men, kala ko ok na ako. Anak ng tokwa, di pa pala, wahhhhhh! Stupid love!

Biglang sumulpot sa YM ko si adik. Nagkataon pa namang nakita ko kanina yung Mommy n’ya sa mall. S’yempre kinumusta ko kuno ang worst nightmare ng buhay ko. Pero ang totoo n’yan e nagfi-fish lang ako ng info. I wanna know kase if dun pa rin s’ya sa bahay nila nagste-stay or nagkabalikan na sila ng patapon din n’yang ex-live in partner.

I was channel surfing earlier today when I stumbled upon the ever familiar “The BUZZ” (with Ruffa Guttierez-Bektas, Kristy Fermin and Boy Abunda) on ABS-CBN channel. My sister, upon seeing the gossip talk show, asked me to drop the remote and stop pushing the buttons for a while. I obliged since I wasn’t interested to any particular shows that were being aired. While watching the show’s cast dishing out the headlines, I was intrigued by one of their headline stories. They were insinuating that a “well known star” was an ampon ( adopted) and claimed to have the legitimate birth certificate of the “star”.

Everything’s going pretty well so far. Kaya yung revenge plan ko ke badboy e pinapa-stop ko na.

Kung anuman kase ang mga kamalasang inabot ko sa kanya e tila natabunan ng magagandang blessings.

Una, nagkaroon ako ng raket sa skul ngayong summer. Nagbakasyon kase sa Korea yung ilang students ko kaya matumal ang kita ko ngayon. Pero after my misadventures with badboy e bigla akong nabigyan ng sked ngayon. Mabilisang pera. Magaan na trabaho pati. What more can I ask for?

It’s just that you could have not told me anything about whatever. You could have just asked how and where I was, said how generally exciting your day went, and left all the other details out — period. Was it really that important to you for me to know about whatever? Did you feel so relieved, or so overjoyed, or somehow so proud that you just had to spill it out? Did you think that you were oh-so-cleverly playing with my imagination?

Witness Statement

I saw a close friend while on the MRT train. Mae Nagtalon. It was a chance encounter, nakakatuwa. Everything snowballed from then on. We now have a Yahoo Group for UP Namnama Memebers in the 80′s. Tama ba grammar? Hehehe.
I’m promoting our group. So far mga 6 na yata kami. I hope a fellow Namnaman sees this.
