Saying good bye to this blog.

2010-10-17T18:47:00.000-07:00

Mawawala na ang blog na ito.

or...

Hindi ko na gagalawin.

Lilipat na ako sa mas bagong blog.

Kung tv series ang blog na ito cguro nakailang seasons na ito.

Daming alaala na di ko makakalimutan...

Sa pinakamasasaya at sa pinakamamaba
Sa immaturity at sa glints of maturity

Sa malalabong post at sa mga complicated matters

Sa masakit na alaala... sa di maitinidihang saya.

Hayaan na takpan ang box na ito.

at parang tv series... move on na tayo sa bagong chapter ng buhay.

Para kay Nikki ang mga huling blog entries ko. Di sila puno ng puot.

Masaya lahat. Di ako defensive.

Paalam at salamat sa alaala.

extimox level up na 'to.

All I need is that summer smile.

Tracing stars just to be with you.

Licking old wounds, resting my head on the altar.

Confess my heart's desires.

Kaibigan.

2010-04-20T10:39:00.000-07:00

Kaibigan.

Tatanggapin ka nila bilang ikaw at kung sino ikaw.
Sila'y nakikinig.
Sila'y nagpapayo at umiitindi. Tumatawa kung ikaw ay masaya. Umiiyak kung ikaw ay malungkot.
Sa huli hindi ka responsibilidad ng iyong kaibigan.
Pinili mo ang mga desisyon mo kaya ikaw ay ganito.

Tatanggapin ka nila, kasi sila'y kaibigan mo.

2010-04-13T18:03:00.000-07:00

Sa daming dahilan kung bakit ganito ang mga nangyayari...

Gawan na lang natin ng paraan.

Siguro paliko-liko ang mga salita pero isa lang naman ang pinupuntahan. Diretsong hindi. Pero papunta dun. - ang daming dahilan.

Gawan ko na lang ng paraan. Lulundag kung saan ang tawag. Lulundag kung ano ang gusto. Lulundag kung saan masaya. Lulundag kung saan tama.

Unfinished lives and their stories

After seeing films from Marie class, i felt a tinge of frustration. I was admiring works of my friends and at the same time, i'm screaming GUSTO KO GUMAWA NG PELIKULA!

January

I shot a short film. I was halfway editing the short. Something came up. I promised something and I was disheartened that the enthusiasm was gone. :(

Paano mag-mahal ng tama?

1) wag kalimutan na ikaw ay ikaw. hindi totoo ang i changed because of you.
2) kailangan magtaya.
3) kailangan magparaya.
4) kailangan magtiwala.
5) wag kalimutan ang nakaraan. alalahanin ito.
6) honesty is the best policy.
7) communication.
8) lundagin mo.

Too many mornings spent on you.

Sana wag na tayo magkalayo. Ang bata pa natin at alam ko na makakakita pa tayo ng iba pero ang sakit lang sa batang ito na di tayo makakapagusap - sakim na kung sakim gusto kitang makilala. Iiwas sa tingin sa bawat iglap na tayo'y magkasalubong; kung magkataon na tayo'y ma-stuck sa isang elevator, siguro di ko papalampasin na ipakita sa iyo ang takot at kaba na kasama ko ang isang tulad mo, isang multo.

Ngunit di talaga maiwasan na eto, naging tapunan ng one-liners at stat messages na medyo weird sa aking hinahawakang persona.

During silence...

i was distracted. i just couldn't contain the feeling inside. the thought lingered throughout the week. i wrote it down. tired of it being a mental note, i took my blue exam book. and...

Excerpts

4th day, 3pm. Silence.

The sisters are praying.

Why should those city lights shine? Siguro function lang talaga nila yun.

~~~~~~

Si Bea at ang mga bulalakaw.

Ilan pa'ng bulalakaw ang kailangan ni Bea para makamit ang kanyang inaasam?

~~~~~~

Recess.

Sawa na ako sa caf food. Siomai...ayoko. KFC...tama lang. Wendy's...elite.

Lunch.

Magandang eksena:

Lunch. Mag-pinsan. Babae at Lalake. Buntis. Ama. Mahal ang isa't isa.

Kanino ba nahulog ang tingin? Oo, tingin lang. Pero hindi naman ganito dapat. Parang may tumitigil sa akin. Di tama ang katotohanan (mali).

Isa?

Sa huling mga araw ni Mindy, ayaw niya umalis ng bahay. Wala siyang gustong gawin kundi ikutin ang bahay at ang lupain. Sa kanyang paglibot, lahat ng bagay ay parang bago sa kanya. Siya'y nagiisa lamang sa bahay ngunit may nararamdaman siyang mga nangugulo.

Isang araw, meron siyang nakitang malaking pusa. Hinabol niya palabas ng bahay ang malaking pusa.

Isang araw, may kumatok...

The first time I felt "snow" was when I was a big headed and white-as-a-pig boy during a summer in my lolo and lola's house. I pushed a chair towards the refrigerator so I could reach the freezer compartment. I opened the compartment and saw the thick snow surrounding the walls of the compartment. I scraped a handful of it from the walls, piercing coldness inside my nails. It was different from the imperfect frozen water, those hard to get ice cubes trays, because it was soft and crunchy; it was snow!

-Sen. Bong Revilla will mention your name on his privilege speech. Or probably he'll bash your head like what he said to Alec Baldwin.
-Time 100's Influential People candidate next year. Kung yng nagkalat ng rick astley viral video nalagay, baka ikaw pwede.
-Bad publicity is still publicity. Exposure. Para sumikat ka naman kahit wala sa tono sa pagkanta at parang macho dancer ka sumayaw.
-Oprah will invite you to her show, then she'll praise you for your stupidity and eat you alive because she's Oprah.
-estimate Sunday showbiz talk show life: hanggang magsawa ang mga tao.
-TV patrol will censor your video during their showbiz segment...joke lang, mas gusto nila may nipple slip dahil opaque yng pixelized censor nila or naka zoom-out or zoom-in sa video yng camera.
-Karma.
-You'll learn from your mistakes. Like uhm...not recording your sexy time?

At the end of the Day, are these the things that really matter?

Nagholding hands silang dalawa.

Ako'y na sa malayo. Masaya. Sulyap sa aking nakaraan. Nalungkot.

Maynagtanong sa akin kung ok lang ako.

Sabi ko oo. Tumungo at tinakpan aking mga mata, di napigilan ang aking pagluha.

ok lang.

ok lang talaga.

as in ok lang talaga. walang sarcastic tone or kung ano mang figure of speech ang pwedeng ibato.

2009-04-15T12:16:00.000-07:00

It starts with myself.
Then other people (family, friends, lovers; yes all the labels)
Then you give value to them. More for her. Less for her. More for him. Less for him.

Sometimes ayaw talaga. Kahit anong pilit ayaw talaga. Di handa or wala lang. Wag muna.

Ayaw ibigay. Di mo matanggap.

Ok story.

Ok uhm...hmmm.

everything is fine.

2009-04-14T11:00:00.000-07:00

I'm addressing this entry to whom it may concern.

So eto...

Mas malala pa sa violation report ko nung grade school ang mga nangyari sa mga nakalipas na dalawang linggo. Two weeks of not knowing your status in life. Two weeks of desolation. Two weeks of dying of regrets and guilts.

Yes, with the help of my closest friends...I'm recovering from an academic setback that will change my life in Ateneo forever.

I hate it. I hate this!!

Sorry ranting na ito.

A friend of mine: Kailangan mahalin ang course.

Tama.

Ok.

First. I'll miss my blockmates. My barkada in comtech. My friends. One of the main reasons why I want to go to school every single day. Na iimagine ko na di ako magpupuyat kasama mga blockmates ko. Di nako magsusuot ng formal attire during marketing presentations (even though i choke every presentation in front of my block). Di nako makakasomba kasama si jackie. Di nako matututo magedit ng premiere o magphotoshop. Di nako makakapili ng track. Di nako magkakaroon ng LS class. and nasabi ko na di nako comtech? :(

Second. THE COURSE! I like my course. Yun lang at walang ng iba.

Third. Ugh...

nakakalungkot...

yet di pa tapos ang lahat. di pa katapusan ng mundo. whew...

My only post till everything is fine.

The Letter I Would Love To Read To You In Person

2009-03-23T23:29:00.000-07:00

Ang liham na gusto ko sana'ng ihayag sa iyo.

Liham para sa isang kaibigan na nawawala. Hindi pa siya nahahanap hanggang ngayon.

You will always be the waiting woman.

SUMMER IS COMING

Gusto ko ibalik ang nakaraan kung saan magbababad lang tayo sa araw para magbasketball.

Sana nakatira ako sa antipolo para paglabas ko ng bahay tuwing gabi, pwede kong ituro ang orion's belt sa aking kasamang dilag hawak ang kanyang kamay.

This summer ko lang siya makikilala.

Basta kasama kita at basta suot mo yung balut (guy: baluuuuuuttt!!!) costume na sinuot mo nung birthday ko!

Let's spot the green tinge over the horizon. Taya ka kung hindi mo nakita!

Pendong Peace! Eh...balik na natin yun.

You're looking so pretty.

jillian and the hungernauts

Jillian has died three minutes ago. She has to frame a memory before crossing over to the after life. She struggles to reconstruct a certain event which is significant yet she doesn't know why. Situations, events, details, information keep changing until a final version is produced.

Slow-mo time freezing moment

2009-03-10T07:25:00.000-07:00

Isang mabilis na halik sa pisngi.

Cut to:

You. Walking towards him. Pausing for a moment. Smiles. Says...

Hay...

Kilig

Mamaya pa ako gagalaw.
