New Year’s Day Everyday

Napanood mo na ba yung film na Christmas Everyday?

Hindi pa? Sige abangan mo sa HBO sa December, malamang ipapalabas ulet yun…

Ganito kasi yun.

Yung film na yun umiikot sa istorya na kung saan yung bida e lagi nyang naeexperience yung Christmas Day. Kasi parang nagwish yata siya nun e, sabi nya sana araw-araw Pasko. Nalimutan ko na bakit nya ginawa yun. Pero dun sa pelikula, nagkatotoo yung wish, ayun, araw-araw Christmas.

Kung ako ang tatanungin, ang gusto ko, sana araw-araw New Year’s Day.

January 1, 2009 to be exact.

Sige isama na rin natin yung January 2 para masaya.

Yun lang dalawang araw na yun.

Paulet-ulet.

Bakit?

Sos, tinatanong pa ba yan?

E kasama kaya kita nun.

[insert blushing smiley here]

Hehehehehe.

Sweet noh?

Pucha naman kasi, grabe ka magpakilig. Halos hindi na mawala ang ngiti ko na nakaplaster sa mukha ko. Buti na lang, napipigilan ko pa, siempre, alam ko yatang ayaw mo sa masyadong showy. Ang tipo mo e yung classy at sophisticated.

Kaya ayun, kelangan ko pang magpanggap. Super effort yun. Pinigil ko ang sarili kong hindi humirit at magtatawa ng malakas. Kinalkal ko ang utak ko para lang makapagdeliver ng witty remarks. Para naman kahit papano sumagi sa isip mo na “ay, may talinong taglay din pala tong si Jadeite.”

Oo, nagpapaimpress ako sayo nun. Nagpapapansin.

Pero kasalanan mo din. (Sinisi ba?!)

Actually kasalanan ko pala…

Uminom-inom pa kasi ako.

E since ang tyan ko e super sensitive. (Tanduay lang ang nirerecognize na alak nito). Kaya ayun, nung uminom ako ng San Mig Light, naging light nga ako. Buti sana kung light na “gumaan”. E pucha yung light, e “lightheaded”.

In layman’s term, nabangag… nalasing…

Ayun, gone were the poise that I kept on establishing the moment that you arrived in the scene.

Nawala na nga ang poise, naging pasaway pa.

Yung pinaghirapan kong pagiging demure, pagiging kupal din pala ang kakabagsakan ko.

Yung pananahimik ko, at pagdeliver ng witty lines, e naging super mahadera at daig pa ang babaeng palengkera na nagtitinda ng baboy na 150 per kilo.

Anak ng teteng…

In short, nasira ang diskarte.

Hay….

Pero hindi ko pa rin ipagpapalit yung araw na yun. Wala pa rin akong babaguhin sa mga ginawa ko. Sa mga kinilos ko. Sa mga sinabi ko.

I swear, wala.

Well.. (kung meron man, e yun yung….)

Naniniwala ako sa cosmic theory. Na parang ripple effect yan. Sinong makakapagsabi na kapag hindi ako nalasing at nagbunganga nung gabing yun e, matutuloy pa rin na makausap kita?

Baka mamaya nyan, napanis lang ang laway ko. Oo nga, hindi ako nagwala, pero naging tuod naman ako.

Saklap naman.

Kaya wala akong babaguhin ni isa man sa nangyari.

Pero, kung puede iimprove, bakit hindi?

Or kung may extension ang araw na yun, eto ang gagawin ko…

Idedeliver ko ang famous line na…

“Sana ako na lang… Sana ako na lang ulet…” – Bechay, One More Chance.

Ay hindi pala yan ang sasabihin ko…

Sasabihin ko na…

“Assumptions is the mother of all fuck-ups. Hindi ako Assumptionista, pero naman, gustong-gusto ko na maging tayo na lang ulet..”

“Can we start all over again? Promise, this time around, it will be different. All I need is one chance. One chance to prove that what we used to have is the right one. We are the right one. For each other.

Can I have you back with no clauses and conditions? To borrow the words of one peyups member, with no buts, ifs or yet.

Can I just simply have you back?”

Perhaps, another order of SML could make a difference…

Sir Koya,

Kung siguro pinayagan pa ako ng waiter na magorder ulet ng isa pang San Mig Light na nilalaklak natin nung last time na magkasama tayo malamang tumaas na ang level ng alcohol intoxication lakas ng loob ko.

At kumapal na ang mukha ko. (Pero come to think of it, feeling ko nga nangangapal na ang pisngi ko sa sobrang kabangagan)

E di sana hindi lang shameless casual flirting ang ginawa ko.

Sayang sana kinalimutan ko muna ang pagiging mapride ko.

Sana tinapon ko na lang sa basurahan yung hiya at pademure effect na drama ko.

E kaso hindi e.

May nalalaman pa akong rejection-phobic ako.

Actually hindi naman totoo yun.

Hindi ako takot sa lahat ng klase ng rejection.

Sa rejection mo lang.

Dati pa akong ganyan. Takot na takot ako na hindi ko mameet ang expectations mo. Most of the time, hindi ko nga talaga maabot. Kaya nga disappointed ka palagi sa akin e.

Kaya siguro hindi I give you up before. Hindi pa kaya ng powers ko na labanan yung insecurities ko sa katawan. Kulang pa ako sa pagmamature.

Hanggang ngayon iniisip ko hindi pa rin tayo bagay. Natatakot pa rin ako na I will fall short with your standards. Natatakot ako na makita na naman yung disappointments at frustrations mo.

Pero kung sasabihin mo na bibigyan mo ako ng chance….

Ay Sir Koya, maniwala ka, gagawin ko ang lahat. Aayusin ko talaga to ng bonggang-bongga.

Pero nagpapasalamat ako kasi naging dahilan ka para maging masaya ako ulet.

Na isipin ko na maganda ang pasok ng 2009 para sa akin.

Hanggang ngayon hindi pa mawala yung ngiti sa mukha ko, hanggang ngayon, iniisip ko lang yung mga moments natin e kinikilig pa rin ako.

Narealize ko na in fairness at in fairview, kaya pa rin pala kitang landiin…

Hahahahaha…

Salamat dahil hindi mo na ako pinandidirihan ngayon. Dati-rati kapag may gathering ang barkada, ayaw mong tumabi sa akin. E naliligo naman ako araw-araw at never pa ako nagkaroon ng karumaldumal na amoy pero ayaw na ayaw mo akong nilalapitan.

Pero salamat naman ngayon at nagbago ang ihip ng hangin. Ang lamig nga e. Salamat dahil umupo ka sa tabi ko. Sabi ko sayo, harmless ako e. Hindi ako nangangagat… ng masakit.

Pramis, magpapapayat na din ako. Naiinggit ako kay Rockwell e. Ang bongga. Tumaas ang market value. Kung gusto mo, sayo na lang yung mawawalang taba sa katawan ko. Para naman kapag magkatabi tayo at nakatutok sa gilid natin yung aircon, kaya ng harangin ng katawan mo.

Kung problema mo ang pagkain, wag kang mag-alala. I am happy to announce na marunong na akong magluto. Hindi kita gugutumin. Basta ba pera mo ang pambili ng grocery e. Hehehehe.

Pero sa totoo lang, gusto ko na yang body frame mo. Okei na sa akin yang built na yan.

Salamat din nga pala sa sa pagpayag mo na hawakan ang mga kamay ko. Maniwala ka, nilalamig talaga ako. Siempre, pagkakataon ko na kaya nilagyan ko na rin ng malisya yun.

Sir Koya, sa palagay ko, perfect fit ang mga kamay natin. Mukhang tinadhana na yung kamay mo e nakalapat sa mga kamay ko. Maniwala ka. Kilala mo akong hindi sinungaling.

Salamat sa pagkukuwento. Sa pag-oopen up. At sa pagsabi na ang type mong babae e maputi. Sinisimulan ko na rin ang paglaklak ng glutathione at pagiwas sa araw. Konting sakripisyo lang yun in my part. Kung ikaw ba naman yung prize, hindi ako magrereklamo sa mahal na gamot na yun.

Buti na lang hindi mo sinabi na type mo e matangkad, lost na ako dyan. Hindi pa naman ako sanay magsuot ng high heel shoes…

Buti na lang din, hindi mo sinabi na ang gusto mo e bata. Actually, papasa naman ako. Mas matanda ka sa akin ng one year di ba?

At salamat din na nung sinabi mo na ang type mo e maputi e may disclaimer naman palang kasunod…

Ang sabi mo, hindi porke maputi, at napansin mo siya, liligawan mo na. Mas matimbang pa rin sayo yung personality at compatability nyo…

Salamat at binigyan mo ako ng pag-asa sa linyang yun…

Kung personality lang…

E nagustuhan mo nga ako dati e, e ano ba ako dati? Kupal. E ano ako ngayon, kupal pa rin. Walang nagbago…

Kung sa compatability…

Mahilig kang magbasa ng books, pareho tayo. Magkaiba nga lang yung genre ng binabasa natin.

Mahilig kang magbasa ng manga. Pareho pa rin tayo.

Nanonood ka ng Prison Break, House MD, at Heroes. Pinapanood ko din yan. (Hindi nga lang palagi)

Magaling kang kumanta. Magaling din ako… pumalakpak.

Sanay ka sa inuman. Ako din, kung gusto mo, magbabalik loob ako sa pagiging alcoholic ko.

May isa pa tayong common. Pero alam mo na yun. Pareho tayong may dobol.

Ang saya noh?

Marami naman tayong commonalities e. Hindi ko na lang babanggitin yung differences ha…

Ha?! Kelangan ko pa rin ienumerate?

Naman e.

O siya, siya.

Guapo ka. (Oo guapo ka. Eto naman fishing for compliment pa e)

Maganda ako… (kung ieedit ang mga pics ko sa photoshop at kelangan blurred ang pagkakakuha)

Payat ka.

Horizontally-challenged ako.

Matalino ako.

Mas matalino ka nga lang.

Tama na nga…. baka madepress ako e.

Salamat talaga ha.

Salamat kasi naramdaman ko yung concern mo sa akin. Muntikan na akong matunaw nung tinanong mo ako about my ex.

Ngayon lang ba nakarating sayo na single na ako ulet??!!! Pucha, pinakalat ko pa  man din sa tropa yun. Humihina talaga ang chismis signal ah…

Salamat sa concern. Muntikan na akong maiyak nung kinumusta mo ako. Nung tinanong mo kung ano ang nangyari.

Uulitin ko lang yung pinapresscon ko.

Tapos na yun. Pinipilit ko ng makalimot at makamove on. Okei na ako.

Mas lalo akong naging okei kasi anjan ka na…

At sana hindi ka na mawawala.

Salamat sa alam mo na. Yung pampakilig. Yung matamis na yun. Kinilig ako ng bonggang bongga. Nawala nga ang pagkalasing ko after nun e. Ay hindi pala. Nalasing pala ako lalo. Pero hindi dahil sa SanMig Light na tinitira natin. Nalasing ako sa sobrang katuwaan.

Ang korny?

Hayaan mo na. Pagbigyan mo na ako. Kinikilig e.

Salamat din nga pala at hindi ka napikon nung pinilit nilang maging labteam tayo nung gabing yun. Siyempre ako kunwari, quiet type di ba. Kunwari may mga negative reactions ako, para naman hindi masyadong halata na gusto ko ng ipagduldulan yung sarili ko sayo.

Natuwa ako sayo kasi hindi ka napikon. Hindi ka nagbigay ng pampasakit ng loob. Ngumiti ka lang. Iniimagine ko na yung ngiting yun e, sign of contemplation. Iniisip mo na what if nga noh???

Sabi mo in three years ka pa papakasal. Marami ka pang dapat na maaccomplish. May mga responsibilities at obligations ka pa na kelangan matapos.

Kung sasabihin ko na hihintayin kita okei lang ba?

Hindi naman siguro weird yun di ba.

Ang gusto ko lang naman na hingin sayo is chance.

Malay mo, baka puede. Or tayo talaga.

Bakit hindi natin subukan ulet? Marami ng nagbago sa atin. Sabi mo nga nagmature ka na. Nakikita ko naman yun.

Tingin mo ba hindi pa rin tayo bagay?

Basta wag ka muna papatol sa iba ha. Hintayin mo muna na magbago din ako for the better.

Hintayin mo muna na maging maayos din ang buhay ko.

Sige na.

May secret nga pala akong sasabihin sayo.

Alam mo na, natutuwa ako na hanggang ngayon, hindi ka pa nakakahanap ng replacement for me?

Hindi ko alam kung dahil I made so many mistakes in our relationship before at nagkaroon ka ng phobia sa opposite sex

or

sadyang mahirap akong palitan

or

busy ka masyado sa career mo.

Gusto kong isipin na nahihirapan kang palitan ako. Na hanggang ngayon may konting feelings ka pa sa akin.

Bigyan mo ako ng chance, palalaguin ko yan. Parang money tree lang.

Sir Koya, sayang talaga noh?

Sana uminom pa ako ng isang bote ng SML. Baka nasabi ko na sayo ang lahat lahat ng ito.

I Know Him By Heart (1 song)

Kung isang linggo na akong nanghihingi ng sign from Papa G, eto yung huling binigay nya sa akin…

Papa G, sige lang…

I know, I know, jologs yung video, sorry naman dun sa ninakawan ko sa youtube, pero kung kaya nyong iignore yung video and just listen to the music, grabe, it will be worth it.

And besides, it may be cheesy but the fact remains that this is true.

So kudos sa kakesohan nito.

 

 

There’s a secret path I follow
To a place no one can find
Where I meet my perfect someone
I’ve kept hidden in my mind
Where my heart makes my decisions
‘Till my dream becomes a vision
And the love I feel
Makes him real someday

CHORUS :
Cause I know he’s out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I’ve never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we’ve never been together
We’ve nerver been apart
No we’ve never met
Haven’t foud him yet
But I know him by heart

Am I living an illusion?
Wanting something I can’t see
If I compromise, I’d be living lies
Pretending love’s not meant to be
Cause I know my heart’s worth saving
And I know that he’ll be waiting
So I’ll hold on and I’ll stay strong ’till then

CHORUS :
CHORUS :
Cause I know he’s out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I’ve never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we’ve never been together
We’ve nerver been apart
No we’ve never met
Haven’t foud him yet
But I know him by heart

No we’ve never met
Haven’t foud him yet
But I know him by heart

No we’ve never met
Haven’t foud him yet
But I know him by heart

Sorry, I won’t greet you today….

Birthday mo na….

Ang tagal kong hinintay ang araw na to, alam mo ba yun? Kahit hindi nakadata entry sa reminder sa cellphone ko o sa calendar ng laptop ko, isa ito sa mga araw na hindi ko makalimutan…

Gustong-gusto sana kitang batiin e. Kahit sana sa YM or sa text man lang. I don’t expect any reply. Ang importante sa akin, nalaman mo na naaalala ko na kaarawan mo ngayon…

Ilang taon ka na nga pala ngayon?

O siya, siya, sige na. Hindi na natin iaannounce. Hindi ka naman nagmamature e. Tumatanda ka lang ng paurong!!!!

Alam mo bang nagtalo pa ang isip ko at ang loob ko dahil lang dito?

Grabe noh? Ang liit-liit na isyu, pinapalaki ko….

Ang dami kong justifications na ginawa para lang maconvince ko ang utak ko na there is no harm in making communication with you again. Dinaan ko pa nga sa pakikinig sa radyo e. Sabi ko, ang unang maririnig ko na kanta e yun yung sign kung i-gigreet kita sa bertdei mo.

Akalain mong ang tumugtog e ang “I Still Say Yes” ???

Sabi ko, fluke lang yun. Baka naimagine ko lang na tumugtog ang kantang yun. Sabi ko, yung next song na lang.

Tapos ang maririnig ko, yung “The Past”… 

Alam mo yun di ba? Yung may lyrics na, 

I must forgive you
And you must forgive me too
It is only the thing that’s left
That we haven’t tried to do
One thing that I’m sure will work
That we haven’t tried before
Let’s not bring the past back anymore…

Oo, yun yung kantang yun. E kung hindi pa yan ang sign, ewan ko na lang…

At hindi pa jan natatapos ang pagkawindang ko ha.

Sinubukan ko pang tanungin yung online Magic 8 Ball. Alam mo ba yun? Yung laruan ni Gregory House? Yung inaalog nya tapos may lalabas na sagot na Yes or No.

Aba pagtanong ko kung puede kang igreet sa bertdei mo, ito ang sagot nung bola.

Yes, it is certain.

O bongga di ba? Puro affirmation! Naman!!!!!!!!!! 

Sabi ko, iipunin ko na ang lakas ng loob ko. Kasi iniisip ko na ready na ako para bumalik ka sa buhay ko. Wala ng resentment, walang anger, walang bitterness.

Sabi ko kasi nakakapagod na rin. Nakakapagod dalhin yung sakit. Yung araw-araw tinatanong ko yung sarili ko ng “What if?” Nakakapagod na din kasing manatili sa dilim. Ang magtago. Ang magpanggap. 

Sabi ko, tanggap ko na ang lahat. Nakamove on ka na. Masaya ka na. Ako naman, sabi nga ni Papa Piolo Pascual dun sa pelikula ni Manay Regine na “Paano Kita Iibigin”…

“I am getting there…”

Sabi din sa Gilmore Girls….

“Anyhow… I’m fine. I’m not over it, but little by little it’s getting easier to pretend it is easier, which means easier might be around the corner…”

Ang dami ko ng affirmations! This is it! Nung nakapagdecide ako na batiin ka, iba yung feeling. Parang ang gaan-gaan ng loob ko. Feeling ko, I am making myself believe that I am doing something that it is really important. Something that would make me feel whole again….

Pero….

Isang simpleng pagsilay lang sa isang webpage, isang larawan, my resolve had been crushed. My affirmations had gone. Nanginig ang kalamnan ko, nangilid ang luha, pinigil ang paghinga, nakaramdam ng kirot sa dibdib at pait sa labi….

Gusto man batiin ka ngayon, hindi ko pa kaya…

Mananatili akong pipi. Hindi makapagsalita. Not even a small sound can escape my lips.

I will remain to pretend that things are easier at my end and that the coldness that I continue to feel is nothing but a damp chill gust by the wind…

Guess How Much I Love You

I never know that a children’s book could be so romantic…

I am thanking YOU for introducing this to me. Too bad, that like fairy tale books, books like this are only good for children.

Not to us…

Thanks Chingky Frog…

ayoko ng sumagot sa tanong na kumusta ka…

kahapon kasama ko ang isa mong kakilala. nagulat ako kasi kinumusta ka nya sa akin.

hanggang ngayon pala, ang alam nila tayo pa rin.

hindi ko naman alam ang gagawin at isasagot ko. hindi naman kami ganun kaclose nung taong iyon para bigla ko na lang iannounce na wala na tayo. kasi pihado, tatanungin nila kung bakit wala na tayo.

ayoko ng magpaliwanag. pagod na akong magkuwento.

kaya nung tinanong nya ako kung kumusta ka na, simple lang ang sinagot ko.

sabi ko okei ka naman, kahit I have no idea kung ano na ang lagay mo ngayon.

ikaw na ang magpaliwanag sa kanila bakit wala na tayo. ikaw na ang magsabi kung ano yung totoong dahilan.

kasi kahit ako naman, hindi ko pa rin maintindihan kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari sa atin e.

kanina nasira ang Yahoo Messenger ko, hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ang nangyari, pero bigla na lang nagflash sa right side ng screen ng laptop ko na online ka ngayon.

nagulat ako.

kasi ang pagkakaalam ko, i deleted you in my list na. nagdouble checked nga ako e.

oo, wala na yung account mo sa list ko.

so papaanong nangyari yun?

hindi ko naman inimagine yun.

hindi rin ako masyadong tech savvy para maipaliwanag yung naganap.

ayokong isipin na premonition, paramdam or kung ano pa man.

pero gusto kong malaman mo na hindi pala ganun kadaling kalimutan ka.

leche ka!

may mas marami pa akong maanghang na salita na gustong isigaw ngayon, pero hindi ko gagawin. dahil walang kuwenta naman ang lahat na iyon, compare sa isang katotohanan na hanggang ngayon, umiiral pa rin.

mahal pa rin kita hanggang ngayon.

pero pagod na ako.

tama na.

hanggang ngayon yung sakit, hindi pa nawawala. hindi pa ako buo. hanggang ngayon, feeling ko nawawala pa rin ako.

kaya sana tama na.

ayoko ng sumagot sa tanong na kumusta ka…

Exorcism by a Rom-Com Flick

I finally had mustered enough courage to watch 50 First Date..again.

Silly of me to avoid this film just because it reminded me of you.

But it did. Really.

Somehow, doing this thing, how silly and little this action it seems to everyone, it had made a huge effect to my system.

Last night, while I was alone, and doing nothing, I had this sort of epiphany to finally test myself if I was really moving on.

And the first thing that had come to my mind is to see of I could watch this flick again.

I know, you might find it funny that I am so nervous and biting my nails off just while the dvd is being loaded into my laptop. How could Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore could scare shit out of me?

The flick was not that long, just less than two hours, but I would say that those two hours is one of the most well spent hours of my life.

A rom-com like that exorcises all the demons in me.

How ironic isn’t it?

I just found myself bawling and crying my heart out when I heard the song “Somewhere over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World”

I cried because the realization had hit me.

It is official, I could NEVER really get over you that easily.

Somehow I wonder, would it be all right if I could suffer from Goldfield’s Syndrome? To have my short memory to be wiped clean and never to convert it to long term memory?

To start all over again, every single day?

But one thing I am sure, I wish I could have the last first kiss.

CG B

Somehow, it did escape my mind.

Today is CG’s bertdei!

CG – Cute na Gentleman pa

CG and I had been friends since 2003. Back when the days I was still short, with unibrow, heavy set young woman with long tresses of hair and an attitude of a guy. After 5 years, here I am, still short, with two messy eyebrows, still on the heavy side and long hair in needs of a comb.

I don’t need to go on to details about how we met and the things we do to each other, but this entry would be just a tribute to him. (Yet I know he won’t be able to read this, but at least I made the effort)

But he is a friend.

Back on the old days, I have this huge crush on him. He is not the typical guy that women would go fall over, but he sure captured my interest. From the looks department, I really liked his smile, and the way his eyes would crinkle up and laughs whenever he would hear a bad joke from our friends.

But mostly, what I like about him is he is a true blue gentleman. And really, please, there are not so many of them anymore. I believed that they are being called “endagered species” already. But I am not saying that it is the guys fault altogether, ever since women had profess that they would like equality, well, let just say, men just delivered. (I don’t want to dwell on this too much because I might get crucified).

Back to CG. Yes, he is a gentleman. Really. If I had known his mother I would probably congratulate her for raising such a nice man. He knows his manners and he knows how to treat a woman.

AND HE IS NOT GAY! ( I am not against gay men either…)

But CG is nice. Probably, men wouldn’t want to be called nice. Basically because they think that a woman wouldn’t get to notice them if they become too nice with them. But in my case, CG’s niceness made a huge impact on me.

I find his gentlemanly behavior endearing. For a woman like me, who has been treated as one of the guys for as long as I remember, it is kind of a suprise to see a guy opened a door for you, carry your bags without even asking, helping you in a chair, assisting and keeping you in the safe side of the road when crossing and making sure that you got home safely.

Yep, that’s him.

He is sweet. He often texted me. Even just to greet me good morning, or said a quick hello or ask how am I. He is usually the one who flooded my mobile phone with forwarded text mostly about love, jokes or sometimes weird trivias. And would you believe that he has this uncanny ability to know what I was feeling. Like for example, if I was feeling kinda crap and on depressed mode, I would then receive a message from him about some positive reinforcement and he would lift my spirits up. Weird huh? But it is true. (Not that I am admitting it to him)

He never judged me. He accepts me as I am. He would always find a kind word or two to say to me. And he wouldn’t make a crass comment if I happened to be drunk and called him and suddenly blabber that I find him attractive. He would just let it slide. He wouldn’t be a jerk to tease about me in the morning. He would just remain a sweet, good friend to me.

Whenever I was in Manila, we always try to find time to see each other. He is my movie buddy. And yeah, I don’t need to convince him and cajole him to watch another rom-com instead of the blockbuster action hit that was also showing on that time. He would allow me to led him to another chessy flick without him flinching and grossing out. (And he pays! I offered but oftentimes we always end up, him paying)

He is also my coffee buddy. We could spend numerous hours in Starbucks just talking. Well, actually I am the one who keeps on and on. While there he was, listening intently and sipping his coffee.

Yeah, he listens.

That was one of the qualities I like about him too.

He listens.

Again, He listens.

For the third time, he listens.

And he listens intently. Like he was really fascinated about your story. (Which for me, is all about my rants about my work). And he remembers! Yes, he remembers every conversation we had, so I don’t need him to give another filler whenever I happened to share a gossip. Heheheheh.

And he is such a good friend.

He is one of the first people whom I told about my break up. He comforted me. Again, he didn’t judge. He didn’t give his opinion of who is at fault. He listened to me and said something about me needs to just trust God that everything happens for a reason.

And during the times that I was really down because of that incident, he tried to stay away. He said that I don’t need him to cloud my perspective. That I might want more than he was willing to give.

Yeah, thats the kind of person he was.

And yes, he is single.

You might ask, (even if you don’t, I will tell you) if there is something about us.

I would like to say yes but then again, I know he would say no.

This is not a story of unrequited love.

Or a love story altogether.

We are not the could-have-beens, parang-kayo-pero-hindi.

We are just what we are.

Two people enjoying this.

Whatever the hell is this.

And to end this entry, I just want to say Happy Birthday to CG. He is my boyfriend. No, he is just really a friend.

For now.

And I like it the way as it is.

Y

Nabasa ko lang tong quote na to

There is no “Y” in HAPPINESS – Pursuit of Happyness

Actually, ni hindi ko pa napanood tong movie na to. (Kaya hindi ko sure kung totoo ngang galing sa movie na to itong quote na nabasa ko.) Many claimed that it was good. It will make you think and perhaps make a sort of dent in your cynical armor. (sundot ng konsensya). Since hindi ko naman nga nasilayan ang pelikulang ito, iwas muna ako sa pagcocomment. Wala din naman akong maisip e.

Pero mejo kinabog ako nung quote. Trulili nga naman, there is no Y in Happiness. And I don’t mean the letter. I even received a quote from CG (cute na, gentleman pa) saying na we shouldn’t asked God for a reason why we are feeling so miserable right now, if then we don’t asked Him either whenever we are feeling happy and blessed.

Bakit nga ba, mahalaga sa atin ang “Y”.

May tendency talaga tayo kelangan mahanapan natin ang lahat ng bagay ng rason. Siguro kasi kapag hindi natin nasasagot ang ganitong tanong, feeling natin kulang. Kung minsan nga naman ang hirap tanggapin ang mga bagay-bagay na ganun na lang.

Dun nasusubok yung tinatawag na tiwala.

Kung minsan, kapag pikit-mata nating tinatanggap ang mga bagay na nangyayari sa atin, many would have said na blind trust yun. (E nakapikit nga di ba? May makikita ka ba nun?!) Kokonti lang ang mga taong ganito. Kasi mahirap gawin ito. Isusuko mo lahat e. Pero sabi din ng iba, ito naman yung level ng trust na hindi basta basta matatawaran.

Balik tayo dun sa quote, there is no “Y” in happiness.

I am starting to believe that. I want to embrace that concept. I should have thrown that nagging doubt and caution in the wind. I should just feel. And learn to trust.

Sidenote:

Ilang araw na to. Marami ang nakakapansin kong inlove ba daw ako. (Hindi dahil sa blooming ako ha, contrary, nalalait pa nga ako dahil mukha daw akong stress out. Urgh!) But because they seem so bewildered by the fact that I can offer a kind word or to, and my patience seems so limitless. (I want to say to them that the Prozac is already kicking in.) Kaya siguro naisip nila na inlove ako kasi there is no way I would be this so good.

But no I am not in love.

With a person right now.

What I am is still and always will a believer in love. Emo may it sounds but it is the truth.

“When you really want love, you will find it waiting for you.”

Landian Moments 02

Another YM conversation with Jboy Gang, and no, we are not an item and the way I see it, there is no any future for the two of us. Besides, all of this are just harmless fun right?!

Subject: my YM Stat

when you’re lost and you’re alone and you can’t get back again, i will find you darling and i will bring you home…

Jboy Gang: (commenting on my ym stat).. wow ang sweet naman ng YM stat

Me: sa kanta galing yan, yung By Your Side – Sade. I like the song, it tries to break the cynicism in me.

Jboy Gang: hehehehehe parang i wont go home without u! (referring to the Maroon 5’s I Won’t Go Home Without You song)

Me: Korek! Nakakainlababo tuloy

Jboy Gang: Inlove ka te?

(He calls me Madam Ati and I call him Sir Koya… sweet noh?)

Me: I try to be. At least if not for a person, I am inlove with the idea of love. [insert smiley showing its tongue]

*quit thinking naughty thoughts*

Jboy Gang: Heheheheh.. Asus!

Me: [insert an angel smiley here]

END

Nothing much. It is not really that loaded conversation but I do find some touch of sweetness on it. Don’t you think?
