Jollibee Anonas

Kapag naghihintay ka nga naman nang higit sa tatlong oras, at natalo ka na ng ilang libong dolyar, nakapagpalipad ng ilang daang pahina, nakabili ng sandamakmak na samalamig at narindi sa iisang bata, wala ka nang magawa...

kundi tumunganga.

Nothing

is more painful than to watch an old man,

shuffling on his feet--

late for his meeting

with his favorite granddaughter,

painstakingly taking

each

step.

And then looking back,

after a hundred miles

(or so he thought)

he never went as far

as a single,

youthful step.

Nagbabasa ako ngayon ng aklat ni Sir Egay na "Walong Diwata ng Pagkahulog" na binili ko sa sarili kong pera (oo, pulubi ako ngayon) at nakatagpo ako ng MARAMING mga linya na para bang ang sarap i-highlight, o di kaya kopyahin sa papel. Wala akong papel kaya sa cellphone nalang.

Narito ang dalawa::

"Lahat, may hinahanap. Pero iba ang natatagpuan sa huli. Pero masaya pa rin sila. Lagi pa rin silang masaya."

at,

"May nasasaktan tayo sa simpleng katotohanan na narito tayo, nabuhay tayo, kahit wala naman talaga tayong intensiyong manakit ng iba."

Ayun lang naman. Magandang gabi!

UHM

I just realized,

sobrang iba ko na sa dating ako.

I mean I hang out with a completely different set of people,

although kasama ko pa rin ang mga ibang talaga namang classic kumbaga. haha

Pero grabe. Ewan. Ang iba ko na talaga.

And I'm not really bothered, really.

I like myself. I like the Koko now. And she's happy. :)

AND I MISS ALL THE PEOPLE! AND I'M BORED! hehe

A Something

To the one being
(yes, I can call you that)
that never tells
the tales behind the tears

Nor questions them,
nor remembers them
after the night,
after it all.

To the one
that is always there on my bed,
or just under it--
never farther than the mark on my door.

To the one that's ready to soak it all up,
and just dry them all off
tomorrow morning,
as if nothing happened.



To my pillow.

Wala lang. Nabuo ng lahat ng asin at tubig kagabi.
