Sounds cliche but hey, I really find it hard to do.
Baka gumanda pa ako lalo. :"> [or baka pumangit. :)) ]
It Takes a Second
In a certain time,
In a certain town,
In a certain school,
In a certain playground,
In a certain part,
Where no grass grew,
There lay pebbles two.
They never spoke to,
In front of, each other
(Never bothered to try too)
For each had his own wonder.
His own space,
His own resilience,
His own ways,
His own existence.
So why bother?
One day,
Where one of them lay,
A boy kicked a pebble away.
(Movement.)
The galaxy was pushed into disarray.
The other pebble watched,
As the universe unraveled,
It was the very first time,
He saw either of them traveled
(a distance).
It takes a second to realize.
“Oh what curiosity!
Oh what new bounds!
Oh what stupidity,
To think that I am sound.”
He wants to move too.
He tried.
And tried.
But he couldn’t.
It takes a second to realize.
Thoughts Before Nightfall by Abba Marie Moreno
Anna trudged her way to the top of the hill where a single tree stood. The sun was setting and the slopes were bathed in the sun’s glorious rays. She stood there under the shade of the wise tree—overlooking the whole
She gave a sigh.
In a few days, I will be back there. Oh, how time passes, she thought.
She sat down among the blades of grass. She sighed once more. Rest was ephemeral. In a few more days, the village would be once again open to Wanderers—men and women like her, in search of The Purpose.
The Purpose, she thought to herself. I wonder why most Wanderers go to the Enlightened Villages in search of it. Purpose, a place where you belong? Purpose, something you ought to do? Purpose, an intricate plan of a good future. Future, who can say how much is left? Agggh. I think too much.
The orange ring of hydrogen and helium was gradually engulfed by the distant hills and valleys. She examined how the golden rays slowly moved away from her.
Time is fleeting. She thought.
Not too long ago, she was baffled by the thoughts of surviving the first Stage of Wandering. She had studied long and hard under Kemi’s Tree and had been terribly confused by the House of Freakalkyuloose. She had gone through a lot of mentors and wizards and what not. On particular days, hope did not seem to dawn her [Ironically, she was still up at dawn]. And yet, with fervent prayers, she survived Stage I of her First Year of Wandering.
She gave another sigh. Was it of relief? Or of weariness? Four and a half years more ‘til she receives The Purpose of an Alchemist. It’s a very long way to go.
After about four more years, I’d finally go through the Ritual of Enlightenment.
And finally, receive The Purpose—a diploma.
In Thrae, we’re all looking for The Purpose, or at least anything close to one. Perhaps for prestige? For money? For luxuries? Or for mere survival? And it’s sort of sad, I guess, that this is what we measure our lives with.
Maybe, deep inside, we’re looking for a purpose. [I guess that’s what we should measure our lives with.]
And we just get confused by our wants and needs and get lost. And confuse The Purpose for an actual one.
I’ve known many Wanderers, and sometimes, they forget what they’re really doing this for.
I’ve always known my purpose. I know why I’m here.
It’s the world, actually, who’s in search of why I’m here.
She smiled and took something from her pocket—pictures. They were slightly illuminated by the escaping sun but she could still see the figures in the pictures [and perhaps even without light, she could]. Nightfall was here and it’s about time to make her way back to the camp. She needed her rest, for in a few more days, she would be back in the
I do think too much. She sighed.
Everyone's so caught up in facebook no one would bother to read this naman.
Yes, it is the morning of the graduation. And no, this is not one of those emotional blog-happenings about the ending of high school and such. but it is emotional.
i just feeeeel so bad.
Kagabi, i was crying. as in. my eyes would be like wide open like this : 0_0
and then, when i think of a sad thought, tears would just roll down.
Ayun. so para akong autistic kagabi. admitted naman e. :))
so na share ko naman yung problem ko sa dalawang tao.
sabi nung isa, OA daw ako.
sabi nung isa, tama lang daw.
ewan ko. naiiyak ako e. oa na kung oa, pero iniisip ko bakit ganun? kung kausapin nila ako, parang dapat lang na naachieve ko yun. na parang, buti na lang nasatisfy ko sila. na nameet yung expectations nila at they would have something to say to other people.
well in short, i feel underappreciated. yeah. ang sama ko. it's like ive done so much for them, and they dont even appreciate it. oo, masama na kung masama, na nageexpect ako ng something in return. pero bakit ganun. ang inaappreciate nila, ay yung mga sarili nila, yung nagawa nila para sa kin. bakit ako hindi nila inaappreciate yung efforts ko mismo? wala siguro kayong naiintindihan dito, kung may nagbabasa man. haha.
well at some part, oo iniisip ko rin na OA ako. eh kasi naman e, kung ganun sila. edi ganun sila. bakit ko sila pakikialaman. kung gagraduate man ako at magiispeech dun, hindi ko gagawin yun para sa kanila. kung di para sa sarili ko.
if that's the way they are then i should just deal with it. they sort of have a point. i just feel bad about myself because i see how other parents react. maybe in some part, naiinggit lang ako, dahil hindi sila ganun sa akin.
ngayon, nagfflashback lahat ng ikinatampo ko ngayong year. nakakaiyak. lagi na lang akong talo. pero bayaan ko na. magcocollege na ko, in a five years, i'll be free.
all i needed was some attention. but they made me feel like i was more of an obligation. ayoko na, naiiyak na naman ako dito. baka mukha akong sabog mamaya.
bahala na si Lord!
March 5 2010.
Prom Night.
One night of a lifetime.
One night of What If's and Maybes.
One night where anything could happen.
One night where anything could be said.
Or Maybe you didnt make it happen.
Or Maybe you left so much things unsaid.
And Maybe you didnt even try to take the Maybe.
I mean, It's One night, no---it's THE Night.
Where you can win it all or lose it all.
Or maybe he/she will just forget about it.
It's a night of What If's and Maybes after all.
Eleven hairpins clipped on my head. Or maybe twelve.
Three white feathers on my head. Or maybe four.
90 minutes in the salon. Or maybe more.
34 tables for students. Or maybe less.
24 pairs of cotillion dancers, Or maybe less.
Seven types of food on the buffet table. Or maybe less.
Thousands of pictures in digital cameras. Or maybe more.
One friend to give my most learned advice.
Seven guys to dance with me. Or maybe less.
Two of which who cried.
One who made me cry.
And One whom I shared One secret on the dancefloor.
One secret never to be heard again. Maybe.
One Mindset you have to have.
A thousand chances you missed.
Or maybe. you shouldnt have.
Prom Night --- A Night of What If's and Maybe's.
What if the circumstances were right,
Maybe ______________________________________________
and so on.
It is your Night after all.

it was today that the UPCAT results came out.
it was one of the most anticipated results of college entrance tests for those who took it. it was a prestigious school of course, it was a big deal if you got in. if you didnt, maybe it was the quota or maybe it isnt for you.
so anyway, it was the last of the big four to release results. UP, Ateneo, La Salle and UST. all their results have been released to happy/sad senior students of high school.
we were at the classroom, it was still morning, then a text came out. cherry mae passed UP, then gel. their parents went to UP, i think. everyone got agitated. people started calling their parents and stuff. after a few hours, Charmille announced a few of our classmates who passed UP. people even got more tense and excited. even the atmosphere was tense, it was raining now and it was very humid. and just before our economics class started: BOOM. the results of the UPCAT were posted on the net. the people in the room found their ways to the results. :)) people were shouting and screaming and congratulating one another.
I was still staring at all of them. :)
My brain thought: Are they really happy? Or havent they realized that this is really all over?
Oh boy.
High school is ending. And i've been blogging about that the whole year. And heaven knows i cant get over it. Maybe that's why i cried.
amidst all of the excitement and sheer bliss my classmates were experiencing--and even though I was informed i passed UP as well--i cried.
I cried because a part of me is denying the fact that this would all be over soon. A part of me cried because I was going to ateneo--a lot of my classmates are going to UP. That same part of me felt cold. I was going to go through college, partly alone.
well i guess i'm exaggerating =)) i'm not gonna be alone. actually i already know a few people going there. :) but the thing is that,
BACK TO ZERO ANG LAHAT.
and i really think i'm weak because i cant accept that.
I've gained friends in high school--great wonderful friends, i've met the best teachers ever, shared unforgettable moments with people here, found love, gained confidence in myself, learned how to trust others and myself...
I'VE GAINED EVERYTHING, TO LOSE IT ALL.
Parang ganun yung sentiments ko. =)) Excited akong magcollege. pero part of me ay natatakot at ayaw mawala to. ganun lang talaga siguro akong tao, masyadong mapaghalaga.
siguro emo lang talaga ako, at naisip ko ang mga ganitong bagay =))
4:02 am na. nagugutom na ko. nagluluto na ng almusal. :)) papasok pa ko at mag-peperiodical exams =)) Wala akong naaral XDDD woohooo!
sige sige. aalis na ko, may one hour pa bago magfive. magnnotes pa ko sa TLE. : )
:| i feel terrible. EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER NA NAMAN. tama na, ayoko na.
ngayong linggo, siguro mga dalawang bote ng 1.5 coke ang lumabas sa king luha. =)) grabe. ano ba naman. Super BV ako ngayon. SOBRA.
may nagsabi sa kin, kung sino yung mga taong nagpapasaya sayo, sila din ang makakapagpaiyak sayo. hmm. ano ba, medyo totoo to. naverify ko na. :))
may narealize din akong isa pa, bakit ganon, kapag alam ng isang tao na upset ako sa kanila, inoofferan ako ng pagkain. =)) my mom was like: abba, california maki o. I was like: okay. but in my mind i was thinking wth that would do to the situation.
they heard me crying i guess. my dad saw me in tears. and tinulugan ko na silang lahat. not to mention hws ko. wala pa kong nagagawa. buti nga nagising na ko. :)
kapag upset ba ako, mahirap ba akong i-approach? hm. my mom seems to exhibit that. she was already beside me, and yet she didnt say anything about it. ganon ba ang pnproduce kong aura? well anyway, i never get anything clear with words, probably i'd just cry and say nonsensical things.
thinking about it, lahat ng gusot namin sa bahay ganon e. may sasabihin sila sa kin, iiyak ako mag-isa. they'll start talking to me like nothing happened. and i'll start doing that too. tapos ayun, mababaon na sa limot yun. ----reflecting about that routine, if we just leave matters untouched, does that really fix anything?
okay, may dalawang hypothesis ako. either:
1) it doesnt really fix anything, all the pressures and disappointments build up in the hearts of those people involved and are set to explode at any moment. possibly hold grudges and fake smiles kind of thing.
2) It is the Language of the World. :) I remember the Alchemist. there are languages not spoken with words, rather by signs and omens. when two hearts talk silently and utter words of 'Sorry.' or 'I forgive you.'
hay. medyo ok na ako, at least nakapagblog na. ansama talaga ng feeling. kahit ilang beses kong sabihin na ayaw kong umiyak, ganon pa rin, bakit kaya. sawang-sawa na ko. if you live on faith and trust, and they don't give it back. it's just terrible.
i just want to be happy---sane, at least.

magbbday nga pala si faith. haberday. >:D<
