Buhos na Ulan Aking Mundo'y Lunuring Tuluyan

Search-In
Candles, their light illuminating the ceiling above. Spilled wax hardened fast by cold air. Endless nights of "wala pa sa kalahati...", kapit, and ballpens. Can't wait for it. Can you feel it?


Happiness
Happines springs from anything. It can be a song, which tune can make somebody dance and forget all sadness in life; a compliment which uplifts a tormented soul; it can be friends, whose companionship lights loneliness in the darkness of rejection and peer pressure; it can be anything. No matter how or big, shallow or deep it is, if it brings a smile on a face, it is definitely happiness.

I like to dwell into my memory because there have been instances I want to relieve and experience the happiness I felt. I reminisce on the past, biting and chewing every last meat of happiness. To dwell in my past, I always thank the Lord for giving sparks of joy and the small things that played their part to weave the very fabric of my happiness.

One example of this happiness was an unforgettable night. I was stucked in the juxtaposedof emotionsand stars. The sky was filled with magic, lust for better, and love. I gazed upon the stars. I was enjoying the stars, wishing I may catch one and hold it on my bare hands. Beside me was someone special, knowing this may never happen again, I cherished this unforgettable first. I felt the chilly air, I counted the stars, I breathe life at its best: love.

Man cannot always get his wants, desires, and needs. But the experience of eternal bliss, it is already in front of him. God never hinders us from happiness. Man sometimes gets blinded by glitz and vanity of his desires that he himself created. Man must learn to see the true happiness in ever small things, every precious moments and every breathe he takes.

Wet Republic part 2

Wet Republic
Ang kaaway ng commuter ay ulan. Jarryd Bello and I coincidentally met on a bus. First, I didn't recognized him because I didn't have my glasses. We talked about which class will dominate the basketball intrams (Our best bet is 4G - JC Nayve, athletic; Kim Dela Paz, Mr. Basketball; Jeric Octaviano, shooting machine) and our commercial skits in Filipino (My group's commercial was about an energy drink called Agimat, it makes anybody who drinks it will inherit the strengths of the different ethnic groups in the Philippines while Jarryd's group was a commercial about a security agency in which you can hire Ifugaos and other ethnic groups).

Jarryd and I got off the bus exactly in rained so hard. I had an umbrella, it had battled different typhoons which it's a veteran, and we shared it. We went through the rain, laughing, and cursing the rain. We saw Ms. Mereille, the cute English teacher, bouncing and jumping through puddles of water on the sidewalk. We greeted her and she complained too about the rain. Wet we were. We were prepared but the umbrella and the jackets were not enough to keep us dry. Got to love the rain...

Classes were suspended! We were expecting it. My classmates went berserk after the teacher announced it. Our teacher, Mrs. Castillo, just kept quiet and waited for our class to settle down. Gerald Felarca, the sports moderator, stood up and came marching in front of the class then banged the blackboard. He barked at the class, "Guys! Be quiet! Para makalabas na!". The class then shouted, "Tama na guys! SHHHHHH!". It just became worse. Imagine forty-plus seniors shouting at each other asking for peace and quiet. How ironic...

Water! Niki and I saw Pirates of the Carribean 2 after classes were suspended! Personally I got confused with the story but eventually the movie unravels its twists and suprises. The movie was like a ride, non-stop, action packed... A summer feast! The movie was a catalyst for the third installment. Its not a perfect movie but it is fun! Its a sure hit in the box office! Johnny Depp...oh yeah!
