"oo nga noh?! haha!"
GUILTY!!!

"MY STAND ABOUT EMO MISCONCEPTIONS"

This was my Elocution piece, I actually wrote it myself. It was a free speech and I can do anything I want in front of everyone.. haha!!!

Here it goes:

Hey, what are you looking at? You’re thinking of something, I know. You’re laughing at me right? Why? Is it the way I dress? The way I act? I know that something In the back of your mind says “she’s emo”… Wait…

What is an emo? How do we define it? How do we look at it?

I’ve asked several people on how they define emo, or what they think about emo, some answered me “Oh Emo, they wear thick eye liners and it looks like they haven’t slept for days”, another one goes like “They cut. They love blood,” and someone even said “Emo? It’s the loud music people listen to, they’re scary”

But is this what an emo really is?

Now let me make things clear, Emo is a way of life.

This is how people deal with their emotions. Some people resort to denial, some resort to diversion, but when you chose to face your emotions and accept what life has given you? You’re emo.

Emo is a way of life, it’s never in fashion. I can wear this (my outfit) and not be emo, I can have this (headphones) and not be emo, I can put eye liner and not be emo, I can have bangs all over my face and not be emo. No one is an emo because of what he wears; you can’t be emo by the way you look.

Emo is not music. Some people would refuse, but I insist. It could be in the music, but this music is only the medium of cultivating their emotions. I can listen to Screaming and loud music and not be emo.

Be it, not wear it.
Feel it, not listen to it.

That’s emo, not a fashion, not the music.

Emo is a way of life. People say it’s stupid, but it’s not. It occurs because of the absence of governing thought but it doesn’t mean that common sense is also absent. Emo is not in suicidal attempts. It is never cool. Never fake it for sympathy or attention. Hurting yourself won’t make you emo.

Emo is a way of life. It is not something to be proud of. And Please, Emo pride doesn’t exist. Emo tend to shy away from everyone else, isolate and have time coping with emotions. Emo never aim to stand out, to publicly display it, to flaunt it. That’s not emo. Emo is something to be ashamed of, something to hide.

Emo is a way of life. It is within all of us. We all have the propensity to be emo, it’s because all of us have emotions, all of us feel sadness, anger, discontent, depression, and most of all we feel love. The only difference is how people show it, but if you really are an emo, actually, you don’t show it, and most probably, you won’t

Now, do you still think I’m emo? Better think.

"My own Book Review of THE ALCHEMIST by Paulo Coelho"


“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it”
-Melchizedek

Have you experienced holding on to a dream, a dream that serves as your passageway to achieving your Personal Legend?

Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist focused on the concatenation of a boy’s journey in life that began as an unfinished dream which led shepherd Santiago, the boy, to his own Personal Legend. However in the first part of the story, it somehow did not correlate with the novel’s title. For it was only focused on the boys travel together with his flock of sheep. But then on the latter part of the novel, the essence of the title was revealed, for it introduced an important character in the novel who is the Alchemist.

Aside from the title the author also used several instruments to abdicate the boy’s personal legend. And the most important instrument that he used is the boy’s dream. The boy’s dream inside an abandoned church where there was an enormous sycamore that grew where the sacristy was. The boy’s revelation of his dream to the interpreter goes like this: “I had the same dream twice; I was in the field with my sheep, when a child appeared and began to play with the animals. I don’t like people to do that, because the sheep are afraid of strangers. But children always seem to be able to play without frightening them. The child continued to play with my sheep for quite a while and suddenly the child took my both hands and transported me to the Egyptian pyramids. Then the child said to me, ‘if you come here you will find a treasure’ and just as she was about to show me the exact location I woke up both times.” Well this is a hint of what the boy’s Legend is all about.

One of the fundamentals of a good novel is its setting. The author’s variety of settings are not so particular to the readers especially when they are not familiar with the cities in other countries such as: Andalusia, Tarifa, Al-Fayoum and Tangier, but there are a number of hints written by the author such as the languages used in those places and the ideas of how these places looked like. In Andalusia Spanish was the language used and Tarifa is only four days of travel from Andalusia which means it was just near by. These two places were found in Spain. While Tangier was described as a commercial place there are some narrow streets where you can pass by and there’s a plaza where the market was held. While Sahara is a very wide desert and a way to Egypt and Al-Fayoum was an oasis with fifty thousand palm trees and three thousand wells, These four places were found in North Africa where they speak Arabic.

In the story somehow the life of Santiago seemed to be synonymous with the Alchemist’s but in a diverse way. Santiago’s personal legend is to execute his dream, a dream that would lead him to his treasure and the Alchemist’s legend was to make gold out of metals, and of course a part of it is to help Santiago to finish his own personal legend.

The author’s abundance of characters encompassed interesting twists to the story. These characters are a part of the boy’s universe that conspired to help him achieve his Legend. The characters are consecutively introduced in the novel. First one is a girl, a typical girl in Andalusia, who is the daughter of a merchant to whom the boy sold his wool. This girl became out of the ordinary to Santiago, for he liked the girl and he kept on thinking about her during his travel. But then a question was asked by the girl. “Well if you know how to read, why are you just a shepherd?” And the author answered it by the disclosure of the boy’s background. It proves that their family was not that abundant. They lived in a farm and Santiago entered a seminary when he was sixteen there he learned Spanish, Latin and theology. His parents wanted him to become a priest but he told them that he wanted to travel, and to see the castles in different towns. But only the ones who are plentiful can travel and those who were like them can travel only if they were shepherds. That point proves that the boy really is unswerving to pursue what he wanted. He then became a shepherd. His unfinished dream somehow doesn’t make sense so during his travel he went to a gypsy lady in Tarifa who interprets dreams. And as he finished telling his dream, the boy was asked to promise to give the lady one tenth of his treasure. And so
she said that the dream was In the language of the world and Santiago needs to go the Pyramids of Egypt.

Furthermore another instrument and also a character had taken its place in the journey of the boy. He was Melchizedek, the king of Salem, whose words and senses are beyond what normal people have. He knew all about Santiago, not only Santiago but also other people who have their Personal legends. In this part the author’s points of view were abdicated. His ideas about The soul of the world which can be felt by the entire universe, The language of the world in which the universe were able to understand each other by this language, The mysterious force which seems to be a negative force but serves otherwise, The Principle of Favorability or the Beginner’s luck, and of course The omens, which foretell the future whether it is good or bad. Other instruments are the Urim and Thummim, which are black and white stones. Black signifies ‘yes’ and white signifies ‘no’ they will help Santiago to decide during his journey. These things served as the boy’s weapons or armaments in making his Personal Legend into reality. In return to these things the boy also has to give one tenth of his flock to the king.

Although this novel has a slow movement of the plot, there is still a very smooth flow of the story which anticipates the readers more and more as they go over the readings. And gives insinuation to what will happen next and a hint in the story sequence. At first he interpreted his dream, next is he met Melchizedek and helped him to understand what his personal legend is, and of course next is for him to go where his treasure is.

Moreover the novel presented several conflicts, conflicts of man against man, man against his environment and man against himself. It all happened when Santiago reached North Africa. The first conflict happened in Tarifa. He met a thief who embittered him and took all his money and the only ones left are the Urim and Thummim. But despite of this great loss, the boy remains determined to finish his Legend. He met a crystal merchant who had been selling crystals for thirty years and there the boy worked to help him and he became a good omen to the crystal merchant because after numerous years of selling crystal glasses, that was the only time he had so many costumers and the crystal shop even became more abundant when they decided to sell tea in crystal glasses. The author also revealed the merchant’s Personal Legend but he doesn’t want to make it into reality, his dream of going to Mecca. He learned the word “maktub” from the crystal merchant which means that every thing was written. And the destiny of every person was already planned and written by only one hand. After almost a year of working for the merchant the boy must continue his Journey. The second conflict was when Santiago is on his way to the Pyramids of Egypt. There was a Tribal war in the desert and they have to settle in a nearby oasis. As they travel he knew a lot about the language of the world. The author used lifeless instruments to describe this such as the sand and the wind. During his travel to the pyramids Santiago met an Englishman who is very eager to meet an Alchemist. An alchemist is the one who turns metal into gold, but before they can do that they first have to study the language of the world, the own legend of the copper, and of course the lead, before he can perform alchemy. As they travel they were able to reach their target place which is the oasis. There in the oasis called Al-Fayoum there are a multitude number of citizens, males and females, young and old. As they search for the alchemist, there’s one lady who caught Santiago’s heart. Her name was Fatima. Another twist of the author’s mind had taken its place. Santiago fell deeply in love with Fatima, but what would we expect? We all know that Santiago has to fulfill his Personal Legend and time would come he has to leave Fatima. But Fatima said “Maktub, if I am really a part of your dream, you’ll come back one day”. And so his journey continued. The last conflict happened here. When Santiago had a vision of the omen given by the hawks that had been attacking each other, he saw that the army with their swords is going to the oasis. And so he told the chieftains about this and for once his life was put into danger. If the army will not go there in the oasis his life would be taken from him. That same night as he wanders around a horseman approached him and pointed a sword onto his forehead and asked him “who read the meaning of the flight of the hawks?” And he valiantly answered the man that reminded him of Saint Santiago Matamoros who is also riding a horse “It is I who dared so because many lives will be saved because I’ve read the soul of the world”. Then the horseman left him and asked Santiago to go and see him the next day if the army comes and Santiago would still be alive then he pointed to the south… Santiago met the Alchemist.

The author’s creativity gave a very relevant incident in his novel. He used the Alchemist to test the boy’s bravery and consistency in his words. But then the boy’s heart is very strong and ready to face any danger because of his trust to the soul of the world.
After that incident Santiago has to fulfill his journey and so together with the Alchemist they went across the dessert despite the fact that there is a danger of the tribal war. The two of the riding a horse across the desert had a synonymous journey in life. They shared a lot in common. They both understand the Language and the soul of the world and they were able to learn a thing from each another. But the danger of the desert does not let anyone to interfere without suffering. They were caught by a tribe and thought they were spies and were sentenced to be killed, immediately the foible inside Santiago arouse, But then through the Language and the soul of the world, with the help of the sand, of the wind, of the sun and of the hand that wrote it all, the two were saved.

Undeniably Paulo Coelho’s formality in writing a novel is indeed a big part in the interest of the readers. His ideas and choices of words to be used are certainly wide however it can be understood easily because of his story content. And his words correlate with the readers’ minds and can be able to reach an individual’s imagination. If you were to read the novel, as you go closer to the climax you would feel so petrified with how the character would find his treasure without knowing where it would be but then the author’s privilege of showing us how it happened was very artistic.

However after Santiago and the Alchemist were able to surpass the tribe war they came upon a seminary where the alchemist performed an alchemy. He turned copper and lead into gold and divided it into four, he kept the first part, gave the second one to the monk who admitted them and gave the third part to Santiago. The last part was again given to the monk’s care for he knows that Santiago would need it for sometime. As Santiago went on his way to the pyramids of Egypt he remembered the things said by the alchemist: “Where your treasure is, there will also be your heart” and so his heart told him: “Be aware of the place where you are brought to tears. That’s where I am and that’d where the treasure is”. As he reached the top of the dune, he saw the beauty of the pyramids and there he wept and thank God for the fulfillment of his Personal Legend. As he dig for his treasure several figures approached him and asked him what he was doing there, and he told them that he was digging for treasures, but the men didn’t believe him and instead took the gold in his bag and attacked him, he was left bruised and bleeding. Then the leader of the attackers approached him and told him. “Don’t be stupid, two years ago
right here on this spot, I had a recurrent that I should travel to the fields of Spain and look for a ruined church, where shepherds and their sheep slept. In my dream there was a sycamore growing in the sacristy ad I was told that if I dug the roots of the sycamore I would find a hidden treasure. But I’m not so stupid to cross the desert just because of a dream” And they left. The boy laughed and his heart was bursting with joy for he knew where his treasure was.

In addition to the stories very stunning climax of the boy’s search of his treasure, he was also able to get his real treasure where he started. His Personal Legend was not to get the hidden treasure but rather, to understand the Language and the soul of the world, to pursue his dream to travel, to meet the gypsy lady, to meet the king, to help the candy seller and the crystal merchant, to meet the camel driver, to be friends with the Englishman, to travel with the alchemist, to fell in love with Fatima and of course to know where his hidden treasure really is.

For all intents and purposes, the theme of the novel is the realization of one’s Personal Legend. It might have been conspicuous that all of the characters in the novel have their own Personal legends but many of them were not perseverant to fulfill their own legends, and rather they just did what was easy to do. Such as the baker who once wanted to travel but then thought it was hard to do, so he chose to be a baker, the crystal merchant who dreamt of going to Mecca but didn’t do it, for it takes time to do it and no one will be there to operate his crystal shop. And most especially is the leader of Santiago’s attackers in the pyramids, for he dreamt of the same thing as Santiago’s, but he never had the willpower to fulfill his dream thinking that it was stupidity. But then again, all of them conspired to help Santiago to fulfill and to put his dream into reality and to be able to realize his own Personal Legend.

In addition to that the novel’s theme is to understand the Language and the soul of the world. To understand that everything that happens around was correlated with every person’s mind and Soul. And to understand that all of the lifeless and living creatures in the universe have a single Language that connects each individual to another.

To bring this to an end, Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” was a very astounding and straightforward novel, worth reading and gives a great impact to appreciative and effective readers who are willing to take time for reading. This novel is worthy to be recommended. It is very appealing to almost everyone who reads it and leads the readers to attaining their own Personal Legends and urges almost everyone to follow their dreams and be persistent in reaching their goals.

(part 1)

pagkatapos ng apat na baso ng tsokolateng lason
wala pa ring hilo na maramdaman
nilalaro ang yelo sa dila
habang nakatitig sa panlimang tagay
na nakalagay sa kanyang harapan
nag-aagaw na ang tsokolate mula sa tubig ng yelo
agad niyang hinalo ng daliri at inilapit sa kanyang mga labi


"o dahan-dahan, baka mapano ka na nyan"

"kaya pa, to talaga, wala kang tiwala"

"sus, ang saakin lang eh sana wag ganyang kabilis, magdamag pa to"

walang nagsalita

ang upos ng sigarilro mula sa itim na ashtray ay tumatapon na
punong-puno na ito
kaya tumayo ang lalaki at tinaktak ito sa malapit na basurahan

"kaya pa?"
walang imik tumango lang

"kaya mo pa ba?"
tinitigan nya ang lalaki na nagtatanong

"itutulog ko na lang"

"di dapat ganito. umayos ka nga"

"sabi mo no judgement... akala ko dyan ka lang"


walang imik ang kausap
pinikit nya ang mata nya sabay salo sa bunganga
akmang susuka na
tinabihan sya ng lalaki sabay salo sa ibubulwak nya
sisig, barbecue, calamares, kanin, alak at tubig.

walang pandidiring sinagip, tulad ng palagi nyang pag-ako ng lahat ng sakit.
kumuha ng basang twalya at ipinahid sa mukha ng kawawang lasing. nilinis
ang pinagsukahan at dahan-dahang inakay sa banyo. hinugasan ang mukha at
pinunasan ang damit. walang imik ng ilang minuto... biglang humikbi.

"iwanan mo na lang ako dito"

"pagkatapos kita maihatid sa higaan, hahayaan na kita"

"ako na lang kaya ko"

"wag mo na sana gawin to ulit, hindi na maganda"

"hayaan mo lang muna, nahihirapan na ako sa kanya"

"sabi naman sa iyo, pabayaan mo na sya... kung hindi ka nya mahal..."

"bukas ok na ako... eh di wag kung ayaw nya"

"bakit ka ba nya sinasaktan ng ganyan?"

"hindi ko din alam... basta ayoko na"

tahimik na inakay sa kawarto, tinanggal ang sapatos at isinara ang pinto.
umalis na para umuwi. pag istart ng makina ng sasakyan ay nagdalawang isip
kung tama ba ang ginawa.

kinabukasan tumunong ang cell phone ng magaalas dose na ng tanghali,
napaisip kung ano na ang nangyari sa kasama.umiilaw ang lcd at ang pangalan
"nya" ang nabasa.

"hello, ano na nangyari sayo? may hang over ka pa ba?"

"pare sa may paranaque bahay nun di ba? haha tangina san ka nga ba

"timog"
ang pabulong na sagot
lahat ng kausap ay tawa ng tawa.

bago pa man makapagreact ulit yung lalaki... biglang pumasok sa pinto
ang babae kahold hands ang boyfriend nya. tumahimik ang lahat.

"bakit ka nga ba tumigil?"
napaisip. nakatitig sa namamawis na bote ng beer.

kasalanan nya rin pala kung bakit.
naalala nya nung gabi na tinanong sya nung babae tungkol sa kanila.
mga mag-aapat na taon na mula nung gabing yun
maling-mali ang mga sagot nya.


(part 3)

binagtas nila ang kahabaan ng espanya...
traffic pa sa quiapo

pinakapaborito nya itong gawin, ang maghatid sa "kanya"
kahit hassle, kahit out of the way
hindi nya alam kung napapansin nung babae na palagi syang nakakaisip ng
dahilan

kahit mag dadalwang oras ang layo nito sa bahay nya ayos lang

"alam mo paborito ko to..."

"ang alin? traffic?" tawa ng kasama

"hindi... alam mo na..."

"nahihiya ako sa iyo malayo bahay mo, ihahatid mo pa ako baka bahain ka pa"

"aaaa hindi... punta ako talaga sa gawi dyan..."

tahimik

"thank you, i dont really know what i did to deserve this"

"to naman, wala yun"
gusto ko kasi makasama ka ng matagal
marinig ka tumawa, makausap ka na tayong dalawa lang...
maihatid ka para alam ko na maayos ka nakarating ka sa inyo...

"hala traffic talaga..."
alala na dumungaw ang babae sa labas nakatingin sa mga stranded

"oo nga eh, ok lang naman mabilis na yan paglampas sa tulay"
sana masira ang stoplight para hanggang mamaya pa tayo
paborito ko ang traffic... kasi masmatagal pa tayo magkasama
kung pwede lang sana habangbuhay na lang traffic

"oy bakit ka ganyan makatingin?"

"'to feeling talaga..." nakangiti na sinabi ng lalaki
hinampas ng pabiro ang braso ng lalaki sabay dumila

"ikaw ang feeling belat"
tawa sila pareho

pagkatapos ng tatlong oras sa byahe mag-aalas onse na nung tumigil sila sa
may itim na gate
pinatay nya ang makina, at bago pa nya buksan ang pinto hinawakan ng babae
ang braso nya

"thank you, sa lahat"

"to naman, wala yun sabi sayo..."

"bakit ka ganito kabait sa akin?"

"kasi..."
at nakita nya ang matagal na nyang gusto makita sa mga mata "nya"
yung sa pagkakataong ito, alam nya na kahit paano...pareho sila ng
nararamdaman
habang tinititigan nya, para bang sasabog ang dibdib nya sa kaba
alangan na bigla nya yakapin at umamin at maging pinakamasayang tao sa
mundo

"kasi...?"
nakangiti na sya parang alam kung ano ang totoong dahilan

biglang naisip ng lalaki... ayoko syang saktan. kulang pa ako.
mali ang timing. ayoko na hindi ko mabigay ko sa kanya ang panahon
at effort na dapat para sa kanya. madami pa akong dapat tapusin at
pagminahal
nya ako, hindi ko gusto na magkukulang ako...or else i dont deserve her

"you know how much i love you, right?"
ang sinabi ng lalaki

"yeahps. i know that. thats why you take good care of me"
nakangiti ulit.

"oo nga gusto kita alagaan."
at mahalin... at buong buhay makasama

"hmmm yun lang ba?"

"oo, kasi kaibigan kita"
ang biglang nasabi ng lalaki umiwas ng tingin

"aa.. oo. tama. sige ha... uhmm pasok na ako thank you ulit"
sabay labas ng babae ng sasakyan, susi sa gate at biglang naglaho

hindi maintindihan ng babae kung bakit ganon na lang ang sikip ng dibdib
nya
na biglang tumulo ang mga mainit na luha sa pisngi nya pagkasara ng gate
narining nya na nagstart ulit ang makina alam nya na palayo na ang lalaki
halos may kuryente ang mga kamay nya at hirap pa din sya huminga
wala naman masama kung kaibigan ang turing nung lalaki sa kanya
eh pinagtataka nya ay kung bakit kaya ganun sya kaapektado?
napapikit sya, may malaking bara ang lalamunan
akala nya aamin na... kasi kung sinabi lang na mahal sya...
masasabi na din nya na ganun din ang nararamdaman nya.


(part 4)

pagkatapos ng anim na taon tatlong buwan at limang araw
dalawang boyfriend, at isang muntik na...
labing apat na beses mag-on at off
limang daan pitumpu't walong paghahatid sa itim na gate sa paranaque
na dalawang beses napinturahan ng one pint na black automotive
tatlong daan at labing isang pirasong tissue
isang pares ng sapatos na nasukahan
isang libo limapu't isang patak ng luha
isang ream ng malboro lights
isang kahang red horse,
kalahating 600ml na bote ng baileys at madaming shots ng tequila
equals

"titigilan ko na to"
bumuntong hininga, kinukumbinse ang sarili

inalala ang unang pagkikita
pumikit para mawala ang alaala ng mukha nya
hindi naman talaga sumobra sa ganda, simple lang...
simple sa unang tingin pero pagtinitigan...
lalo na pagngumiti
halos mapatid ang hininga ng lalaki
ayaw kumurap, ayaw gumalaw

tuwing magbabalak na ulit sya umamin sa babae
palagi na lang sya nauunahan ng kaba,
takot at katangahan
hanggang maunahan na ng iba

"suko na ako...hindi na ata nya ako magugustuhan"
napatingin sa sarili sa salamin

tumunog ang cellphone
"busy?"
sender +639........

parang nag bungee jump ang puso
binura na nya yung number na yan sa phone book
lumitaw ulit

"malamang nag-away sila"
isip-isip nya

"ako nanaman ang naaalala pagganitong panahon"
tinignan ang relo, mag-aalas onse ng gabi

huminga ng malalim, hindi nya matiis
gustuhin man nya na tumigil na
para bang nakakapanghina
masakit ang makinig sa mga problema ng babae
pero masmasakit ang makita na nagkakaganun sya

"gusto mo puntahan kita dyan?"
walang pagaalinlangan na tanong kahit malayo
kahit out of the way... kahit masakit

at nagmaneho ang lalaki ng isa't kalahating oras
hanggang marating ang itim na gate sa paranaque
kung saan sinalubong sya ng babae
magang-maga ang mata
biglang yumakap at humikbi sa dibdib
basa agad ng luha ang balikat ng tshirt nya

"sige umiyak ka lang, hindi ako aalis"
pabulong na sinabi

nag-aagaw ang loob nya kung aamin na sya sa babae
matagal na din nya hinintay ang ganitong pagkakataon
ngayon pa, na kaya na nya ibigay ang dapat sa isang katulad "nya"
ang panahon, pagiintindi... seguridad...attensyon...

"naguguluhan na ako..."
inangat ang ulo at nagkasalubong ang mga mata nila

hindi tulad noong gabi, magaapat na taon na ang nakaraan
wala na yung kislap na inaasahan na nandoon pa
napalitan ito ng gulo, sakit, para bang madaming tanong
gusto ng lalaki na bigla na lang umiyak dahil kung kailan sya handa
wala na ang katiting na pag-asa na pinanghahawakan nya

natauhan bigla nung dumating ang lalaki na dahilan ng lahat
tumayo ang babae at pumasok sa loob ng itim na gate
naiwan ang dalawang lalaki na natakatanga
alam nila pareho na isa lang sa kanila ang pwede sumunod sa babae

"hindi sa pakikialam, pero ano ba ang nangyari?"

"nandyan ka naman, bakit hindi mo tinanong sa kanya?"

"wala naman sinabi...basta na lang kailangan nya ng kasama"

"pare i think you should have asked her about it"

"wala naman sinabi umiyak lang"

"i just cant believe you are this blind"

"kung ano ang away nyo, labas ako..."

"dyan ka mali"

"sige, kung mamasamain mo ang pagtulong ko sa kanya twing nagkakasakitan
kayo..."

"yun nga yon. ikaw ang kinakailangan nya, hindi ako.
imbis na ayusin namin ang problema
palagi na lang ikaw ang pumupunta..."

"i am just being a friend to her"

"thats bullshit and you know it. pare, you are still very much in love with her"

"i dont think its any of your business, hindi naman nya ako mahal"

"bakit? naitanong mo na ba yan sa kanya?"

"hindi na kailangan."

"do you even know that you love her?"

"...."

"ganito na lang, are you even aware that she loves you?"


"...."

"well... para hindi na kayo mahirapang dalawa, eto manggagaling na sa akin...
mahal ka nya and she has been in love with you ever since i can remember"

"bakit mo sinasabi sa akin yan?"

"kasi nasasawa na ako ng ganito. do both of yourselves a favor and talk about
it,
sinubukan ko na ayusin kami at pagod na pagod na ako..."

"... ... ..."

"pareho kayo in denial"

"pare,ayoko sya makita nasasaktan"

"bakit? sa tingin mo ba gusto ko din masaktan sya?
hindi naman sya masaya sa akin and i see that everyday"

"you dont know what youre talking about"

"why? ikaw? do you?"
akmang wawalk-out ang bida naten...pero may parang pumigil sa kanya
ang lalaki na dahilan ng pag-iyak ng babae
ay hindi pala ang taong totoong nakasakit sa kanya

natauhan, naliwanagan
nag-alinlangan...naindintihan

"i give her back to you. ingatan mo sya"
ang sabi ng dating kalaban

at pumasok ang bida sa loob ng itim na gate sa paranaque.

You're the greatest present for today.

Whew.. Wala lang.. Super naging sarcastic ung araw na to.. however naging masaya rin naman.. A lot of things happened.. or siguro konti lang..

Pagbaba ko ng jeep.. takbo ako agad sa tindahan ng stuffies haha! bumili ako ng turtle (gusto daw niya ng pagong, pero ayaw nya magalaga. edi ayan! instant pagong) then.. for a moment i thought.. anung gagawin ko next?

Derecho ako sa 168 mall, humahanap ako ng watch and accidentally, nakita ko ung matagal na niyang pinapantasyang bag.. hehe. binili ko narin (isa un sa mga nalumang kahilingan niya) then.. derecho ako ng tutuban centermall.. bumili ako ng watch.. (matagal ko nang gustong palitan ung watch nya ng bago tulad ng request nya.. wala lang akong tym)... after that.. takbo ako pabalik ng ilaya.. (inuna ko ung tutuban kasi magsasara yun ng seven) so.. bumili ako ng jacket, haha.. as requested, stripes sana kaso wala akong mahanap.. nakarating nako sa kanto ng ilaya wala parin. kaloka. so i bought a checkered one instead. ok naman maganda rin. Then.. balik ako sa tutuban night market naman ang sumalubong! haha.. humahanap ako ng tshirt (actually may request xa na shirt.. kaso sa rob pa un.. layo! haha.. alternative muna ulit) yun, i saw 2 nice shirts, muka namang babagay sa kanya so bumili ako ng dalawa.. then.. gusto ko sana magpunta sa a.rivera, kaso anlayo at 100 nalang nasa bulsa ko... bibili ko sana ung gusto niyang jersey.. kaso wala na talaga.. so bumili nalang ako ng paper bag. haha. lalagyan ng lahat.

Then pumunta na ko sa kanila..

And the rest?.....
This is not the right place for that one.. haaaay.

The day is almost over.
Happy birthday my angel.

"PSEUDO-RELATIONSHIP: in or out?"


PSEUDO-RELATIONSHIP...

Friendly Kisses, Holding hands, Tight Hugs...

Almost like a relationship, but not quite.
It is a phase where the persons involved
are more than friends, but not quite
lovers.

Pwedeng may verbal agreement,
pwedeng wala.One or both of you may
have dmitted your feelings,possible rin na
hindi.

You just let your gestures do the talking
for you.Walang pormal na ligawan na nangyari.

Hindi kayo.
Pero sa kilos niyo,
sa mga sinasabi niyo,
parang kayo,
pero hindi.

This kind of "relationship" can happen at
different stages for different reasons.

It can happen after a break-up.
You still love each other,
and you want to be with each other
but you broke up for a reason.
And for reasons that you alone know,
ayaw niyo na muna magkabalikan.

It can also happen before a relationship,
iyong pareho kayong nakikiramdam.
Possible din na ayaw niyo munang mag-
seryoso kaya kunwa-kunwarian lang
muna.

Testing lang. (tama ba un?!)

Pwede ring hindi puwedeng maging kayo
kasi isa sa inyo may ka-relasyon na.

Kaya habang hindi pa siya
nakikipag-break doon sa boy/girl
(sabi niya makikipag-break siya soon
pero di naman niya ginagawa),
wala muna kayong relasyon
para nga naman hindi siya
nangangaliwa
kasi "hindi naman kayo."

This pseudo-relationship stage,
for a time, can be fun.

Lalo na kung naghahanap
ka lang naman ng "KALARO."

Pero huwag ka lang mag-e-expect
na may patutunguhan kayo kasi
wala talagang kasiguraduhan.

So bakit ang daming nagse-settle
sa ganitong set up ganoong
hindi naman sigurado
kung may patutunguhan?

Iba't ibang dahilan.

Puwedeng for fun lang.

Puwedeng "buti na iyan kesa wala" or
puwede na iyang "pantawid-gutom."

Meaning, habang wala pa iyong the real
thing, doon muna sa kunwa-kunwarian.

For those who are not in a serious
relationship,
they would think that pseudo-relationship
is better than no relationship at all.

It would be fun, if all you're after
is that "kilig" feeling.

But then I learned that although it was
only a pseudo-relationship,
THE EMOTIONS WERE REAL.

And usually, in this kind of set up,
merong malulugi..

"Ung NAINLOVE SA TAONG
MAY MAHAL RING IBA,
MAY MAHAL NANG IBA
AT MAY MAHAL PANG IBA."

Gets?

UNA, you can't ask him/her to commit.

Since it's not really a relationship,
you can't demand commitment from your
partner.

Ano ba kayo?

You will always be uncertain
about your role in his/her life.

You can't expect him/her
to be always there with you.

And if you feel jealous of the other
boys/girls,
you just have to keep it to yourself.

Ano ka ba niya para magselos?

PANGALAWA, what if
you fall deeply in love with her/him?

You can't be sure if she/he feels the same
way.

Baka nag-a-assume ka lang
na mahal ka rin niya.

Even if you are dying
to tell her you love him/her,
you can't.

Because you're not sure
if he/she will like it.

Baka mapahiya ka lang.

This stage will always make you wonder
WHERE YOU ARE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP
or
IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP AT ALL?

PANGATLO, what if you become attached
too much?

What if you have invested
all your emotions and this boy/girl hasn't?

What if you remain faithful to her,
not entertaining other guys/gals,
only to find out that she is seeing
other girls/boys?

Isa pang DOWNSIDE ng pseudo-
relationships,it is fleeting.

When a disagreement sets in,
or when one of you gets cold,
then that would be the end of it.

Unlike in a serious relationship,
hindi mo alam kung saan ka lulugar
sa isang pseudo-relationship.

Wala kang pinanghahawakan.

Kasi sa pseudo- relationship,

ang meron lang "siya at ako"

walang "KAMI".

"WHEN DO YOU CONSIDER SOMETHING CONSTANT?"

This is a short conversation.. With whom? I dunno... I will only share the thing's I've said..

"Alam mo naman kung gaano ka kahalaga sakin diba? walang kasing.. at ayokong basta basta nalang matapos lahat sa ganun na lang..Ngayon lang ako ulit nakahanap ng ganitong lugar sa mundong to. Ung masaya ako. Ung alam kong kahit nasasaktan ako, kapag nakita na kiota, nakasama na kita, kampante na ko. Kahit alam kong hndi tayo pwedeng maging higit sa magkaibigan, tinatanggap ko na, at unti unti ko ng bnibitawan ung pangarap ko na isang araw makikita ko ung sarili ko na katabi ka. Habang buhay. Ngayon lang ulit may nag alaga sakin ng ganito, ngayon ko lang ulit naranasang magalaga ng sobra. Na magkaroon ng kaibgang katulad mo, na nabigyan ko ulit ng halaga lahat ng bagay sa mundo ko, natutunan ko ulit mahalin ang sarili ko. Ayoko mawala lahat dahil sa isang walang kakwenta kwentang bagay. Gusto ko nang maging maayos lahat. Maging masaya, makuntento, tahimik na tumayo sa tabi mo para saluhin ka sa tuwing madadapa ka. Un lang. Un lang ang gusto ko. WAla nang iba. Kaya ako ganito, sana maintindihan mo"


+ I feel and i sound so awful in that first part..It's like I'm someone who's losing everything... Weird.


"Alam ko namang lahat ng bagay na gawin ko, kung hindi kulang, paniguradong mali, para sayo. Kaya nga tinatanggap ko nalang lahat ng sinasabi mo, lahat ng sinasabi ng iba, ayoko na rin kasi ng gulo"


+ Medyo naging magulo ung mundo ko these past few days.. A witch is haunting me. She won't stop until I'm gone... Ayoko nalang lumaban dahil alamko wala akong panalo. Yung nagiisang possible na maging kakampi ko (dahil siya lang ang may alam ng lahat) wala.. WALANG ibang maLi para sa kanya kundi ako. Kasalanan ko daw lahat. OKAY! watever. haha... I hate it.


"Wala na kong inaasahan sa mundong to. Basta alam ko isang araw magiging masaya rin ako. DI man sa paraang gusto ko, pero gagawa ng paraan si God para makita niya kong masaya.Isang araw, Lahat ng tao sa mundo mamamatay, lahat ng sarap at hirap , maiiwanan din sa mundong to, ndi madadal sa kabilang buhay. Kaya hanggat kaya kong masaktan, hndi ako titigil. Hanggat kaya kong sumaya, tatawa ako hanggang mawalan ako ng hininga. Lahat ng bagay matatapos. saya, sakit, tawanan, iyakan, galit, pagpapatawad. Lahat. At hanggat kaya kong lampasan lahat, susugod ako. Manalo man o matalo, mdapa man o masugatan, alam ko ginawa ko parin lahat. For my life to be worth living. Dahil isang araw lahat un mawawala, ultimo alaala ng lahat, Maglalaho at wala ng babalik."


+Whew.. life's reality. nakakapagod tanggapin but, we have to. MAraming bagay na dapat tanggapin kahit mahirap. Sabi nga nila, there are THREE things constant in this world. GOD's LOVE, CHANGE and DEATH... and the rest?... It's up to you. It depends on how you will take care of that something you have, to make it permanent.. and CONSTANT.


Mahirap diba?.. Madali sigurong isipin pero mahirap tanggapin. Lalo kapag malapit na malapit ka na talaga, tipong nandyan na sa harapan mo, pero hindi pwedeng maging iyo. And once something is not yours. You can never make it constant. Hindi nga iyo eh.. asa ka pang maging permanente yan!


"Live life to the fullest, but remember your limitations."

"HAVE IT MY WAY"


INFINITE SPIRIT OF DISGUISE

The face of my real agony
lies behind the eyes of those who seek
Scattered beneath the cries of those who weep
My sadness is forsaken
Left unseen, unspoken, untrue, unknown...
My sorrow is hidden in the depths of my cheers
The reasons for my tears are so-called inocent
The one's responsible for my weary heart
are not aware that they're killing me
But despite all of these, my laughter and smile
Covers my tears, hides my fears...
Will this be the reason for me to be hated?
I'm worthy of someone's respect...
I'm worthy of someone's love..
No one could see this
Because they're not seeking for the truth,
They're just contented
With my infinite spirit of disguise..


MISS SELF DESTRUCT

I am the voice inside your head
I am the hate you try to hide
I am denial guilt and fear
I am the prayers of the naive
I am the lie that you believe
I am the needle in your vein
I am the high you can't sustain
I am the pusher I'm a whore
I am the need in you for more
I am the bullet in the gun
I am the truth from which you run
I am the silencing machine
I am the end of all your dreams
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
I’m Ms. Self Destruct


THE PERSON IN ME

There’s something in me
I wasn’t able to see...
I tried to look for
But I lost myself more...
Someone let me find
What is real and unkind...
But it made me more insecure
Of my feelings that were unsure...
But there came a time
When I found my rhyme...
And I was able to see
This hidden person in me...

"BETTER LATE THAN NEVER"

Sabi nga nila... better late than never, and kailangan ko magdusa dahil nawalan kami ng internet conection for 2 days... anyways.. Shhooot!!! haha





November 2, Sunday

Ngayon lang ako magkkwento, anyways.. super bitin tong araw na to for both me and Glenn.. we're supposed to meet kim and ge again, kaso ndi natuloy dahil sa pagiging strict ng regal.

They dance, count, solve math problems, read, jump around, play dead, run and all.. haha! they're so cute and so nice. Nagenjoy naman kami kahit ganun lang ung power trip namin! haha

For the night.. nagkaroon ng mejo serious talk between me and my best friend.. Mejo masakit pero as expected.. gnbun pa rin. haha. Nagising lang ako ulit sa dream world ko, sa mundong inaakala kong akin, ndi naman pla... So bad.
