Tuesdays with Padre Damaso

Kung si Padre Damaso ay naglalakad sa mundong ito siguro bibigyan tayo ng mahabang sermon...

Para hindi ko makalimutan si Padre Damaso, bibigyan ko siya ng isang testimonial...

Maybe we take it for granted, our friends, family, teachers, classmates, kapitbahay, barkada. Yeah maybe we take it for granted and when we lose in touch with them, life will be the same again before you met them... same old life without them... then the regrets, what-ifs and the what-have-beens, will settle in our minds.

Trying to avoid that situation in my life. I don't want to lose in this "natural" daw cycle of relationships with other people. There's the beginning and the ending... we all like happy endings in stories yet its not true that it'll happen in our relationships minsan bitin, parang abangan ang susunod na kabanata, or to be continued...tapos hindi na matutuloy ang nasimulan. Whatta ending... (may mga movie na perfectly na capture ang ganito situation tulad ng 'Before Sunset' kaya gustong gusto ko manood ng cine mapa VHS, DVD, VCD, o BETAMAX haha kahit PIRATED o ORIGINAL) whatta ending....

Ang reaksyon minsan sa cine ay: AI BITIN!!? ANO NA ANG MANGYAYARI!?
Pero ang reaksyon sa totoong buhay ay: REGRETS kalimutan at magbabalik

But one day it will hit us... memories equal regrets... faces of the people we had fun, talked to, friends still ringing their laughter or tears in our heads... never will we forget the friends we made and each touchedother's life.

Had these friend in gradeschool... innocent and everything... we like each other's company... then one day when going to the GYM for recess, he was asking where will we sit, suddenly i stopped and said to him: "Sa iba na lang ako kakain, alis muna ako"... umiiwas ako bigla sa kanya... kasi such immature thought came in my mind... it's so gay... oo tama nababaklaan ako sa ginagawa namin... tuwing may ek-ek na letter activity magsusulatan kami... bestfriends ek-ek yung topic...hindi ko alam bakit lumabas bigla sa isip ko yun... pagkatapos noon iniwasan ko sya... and i feel something: regret... my friend moved to the province sa davao yata and poof wala na... bakit ganun...

Everytime sa buong gradeschool ko naging ganoon ang attitude ko. Kaya wala akong tinatawag na bestfriend... hate that term when i was in gradeschool because of regrets before at natatakot ako na mawala sila ulit... tinawag mong bestfriend biglang POOF! wla na ulit...

I hate losing somone... kaya iniba ko ang buhay ko dis highschool... palagi akong nagpapatawa sa mga kaibigan palagi ako nakangiti, always greeting them... wala akong iniiwasan... ang palagi kong pang greet sa mga dati kong classmates: "Nakanaman ang gwapo ah!"
Ayoko maging torpe sa buhay... nahihiya... may iniiwasan... i learned my lesson last year....
Pero still having regrets with all the friends i made tapos hindi ko sila kinakausap... snob ako sa kanila... hate that feeling... hate it...

Regrets... what's d solution? Never lose them... never... ever... amen

Hay naku ang konyo...
