How do yous

How do you pull the hands of the clock to move faster? How do you click the dates to change in a snap? How do you bring the sun to shine and rise more frequently? How do you wait for the next tomorrow to finally come today?  Yet, how do you do those when you know it’ll still be the same after?

Every day is like sitting on top of a pile of nails.  Every hour is like understanding the Ishopekilan language. Every minute is like inhaling blue air.  Every second is like a new pair of jeans that simply doesn’t fit.

I guess, this dilemma of feeling the same nail pinned on your back will be unending.  Unless of course, I grab a new hammer to pull it back.  But, until I finally get one, it’ll continue to drench me with pain.

I have been in this disease for years now and I must admit, it is partly my fault. It is me to blame for wanting comfort in life. It is me to point at for aiming to earn more regularly.  And it is me to kill for choosing an unfamiliar life.  I know it wouldn’t literally kill me. But I know, it would gradually take every pride I have in me.

The question then is--how do you stop whining when you know it’s the way now of sustaining your existence?

Random Thoughts

It’s a new year and I realized, I have not written my thoughts for quite some time now. Days and months have passed, and things are quite the same still. You know what’s different? The impact. These days, I have quite grown to live with the challenges in my life. But don’t get me wrong. I still cry the ugliest cry. I still bawl in the CR in a snap. I still shout while driving. I still feel worried. I still feel anxious that anytime someone from behind will stab me, literally and figuratively. I still feel the pain. I still am sad of things that happened and that were done to me. But as they say, you do not and cannot forget the pain. You just learn to live with it. Until now, no one has sincerely sent an apology or showed regret. I shouldn't wait, really. Maybe there will come a time that they will realize the scar they left on me. Maybe not. And I am still trying not to care. I’m persuading myself that because I have different views and practice from people I grew up with,...

Chacha of Camella Homes

I am joining the bandwagon. Now, probably like you, the one beside you, or the one you saw yawning this morning (for so long as he watches television), I have become fascinated with Chacha Canete. Yes, she's the cute little girl in the Camella Homes commercial with the jingle bulilit bulilit . Admittedly, she’s not the cutest little kid television has ever shown, but, I think everything in that commercial seemingly befits her. I especially enjoy the scenes when she was walking with her arms tucked, when she was chewing her food and mostly, the one when she looked around and finally realized she’s in a bigger house. Cute cute!   How do you teach such young age to act naturally?                                               ...

Today

They say, you do not fully love someone if trust is not present. But what if you have grown to love someone altogether with the entire cast of trust, and, eventually, one of the casts breaks down? Again and again without remorse. Is love then questionable? My building of trust which took me quite a while to rebuild was again ruined by a very lame-hitting bat.   I don’t understand why such happened.   Outside factors believe that I may have been holding on tight. I would definitely want to refute that. Even this someone, would, I believe so. And even if otherwise,   I strongly believe that nobody deserves that.   And then again, I still cannot understand. You see, I am facing the altar in months. And on my road towards there, I need full force on my hands. If only I could pick up the broken glasses on my way there, I would. But then, it does neither take my way there nor months to pick them up.    I don’t even know if these glasses can be ...
