Dito Ako Lasing Talaga




Last Friday, night out ako with my officemates sa Agogo Cafe sa Ortigas. Tsk! I learned na hindi ko pala kayang uminom ng marami nang hindi kumakain...Hay!

Decisions

The message below is the effect of too much Sunday morning melancholy:

I have decided not to supress my feelings for you anymore. Why? Coz nothing happens! No matter what I do, I can feel it growing inside me like seedling planted during spring season. So I'll just go with the flow and let it take me wherever it will bring me.

I no longer care even if I do not know what the future will bring to us. It doesn't concern me the least even if I know that there is a big possibility that I'll get hurt. It doesn't matter even if everything is such a blur at the moment.

What's important is today. What matters is I can feel that you need me somehow. What matters is YOU....not me or how I feel for you.

I don't care what other's will say. I don't care whether my feelings is unreturned. For now, let me just love you in my own quiet way...

Changes

I wish I knew how to quit you... - Brokeback Mountain

Nice line from a movie. I always remember that one.

You try to get someone at the back of your mind but the harder you try, the more you thought of that person. You try to ignore the feeling. You make it sound as if it was that person's fault but then you soon find out that it wasn't really her fault, afterall. It's just your heart, letting itself fall.

This girl has changed you and you don't even know it... - A Walk To Remember

This one is the line commonly used by your friends to let you know that you have let someone walk into your life and change you as a person. Of course, you wouldn't realize the change until someone from the outside looking in would bang the information into your hard head.



I love The Family Guy!

My favorite basketball club, the San Antonio Spurs, were predicted to win the 2007 NBA crown by a majority of GM's in the NBA. They missed the chance of making back-to-back championship last season and I do hope they'd make it this time (and the next season, as well). I wish TD, TP and Ginobili would be healthy this season.

Photographs and Memories




I received a text message from Jane last Monday telling me that she'll be leaving for Bicol at the end of this month. Prior to that, I received a text message from Vicky telling me that she has a problem (again) with Ferry. I find it surprising that such a budding romance would begin encountering problems that only old relationsips have. I agreed to meet up with them at SM Megamall (along with Pia and Yen) so that we could talk things over although I had planned to watch "The Departed" prior to receiving their messages.
Yen was the first to arrive at the meeting place. She had colds and kept on coughing while we waited for the others to arrive. She said she wanted to rest early but she can't miss the opportunity of seeing Jane again (kung mag-utol kami ni Pia, sila ni Jane e "sisters"). We chatted about various topics while we waited for the others. Then, she mentioned about Jane's imminent departure for Bicol. I told her that I already knew about it. She said, "alam mo, swerte ka na kay Jane kaya lang ganun talaga e". I simply smiled at her comment and didn't reply.
Jane arrived a little after 8PM. I must admit that she looked more radiant now and I told her so. She was wearing a pair of dangling earrings and Yen teased her about it. She didn't look like the person who figured in a car accident a couple of weeks ago. She sat beside me and she seemed uncomfortable coz I kept glancing at her. I teased her about her suitors and asked how her work was doing. Yen, ever discreet, just smiled at our playfulness and said "nao-OP na ako".
After a while, Vicky arrived along with Irish. We had dinner and I made "kantyaw" to Vicky about Ferry. She seemed not at all that affected although the text message she sent me earlier belied her true feelings. I didn't know how she fell inlove with Ferry at such a short time. But then I begin to understand that love has different effect (or should I say, cause) in various types of people. In Vicky's case, she fell inlove with Ferry at the time when she was groping for a life-saver...someone who would lift her up from the dark pit that she was into at the time. Or maybe she found Ferry at the right time and place. As for me...
After dinner, we went to a videoke house and Vicky began drinking (and smoking) herself to death. I told them I won't be drinking anything but as the night wore off, I drank my first bottle. The highlight of the night was when Jane sang "Farewell". She didn't even get to finish the chorus as she began to choke. She threw the mic to her cousin and wiped her tears. Vicky immediately hugged her (she was sitting between me and Vicky) while I handed her my handkerchief. We all knew she was having second-thoughts of going to Bicol for her PNP Training. As for me, I have always encouraged her to pursue it. She was sitting beside me but I didn't know how to comfort her. How would you comfort a person whom you had a previous realtionship without sending her the wrong signal? I hugged her later on and to cheer her up, I sang some songs that I knew she loved. The others teased us but we just smiled amidst all that. Jane is afterall a friend before we became intimate. I didn't know what to feel when I noticed that she still wore the silver ring I gave her (I'm still wearing the bracelet she gave me, anyway).
When Ferry arrived, we went for a joyride. I must have been too tired by then (it was afterall around 2 or 3 in the morning already), that I fell asleep at the passenger's seat with Jane's head resting on my shoulder. Pia said, she drove us out to Tagaytay but didn't wake us up anymore when she saw that we were all asleep.
We promised to meet again before Jane leaves for Bicol but I doubt if that will happen. The others would be busy by then. Jane asked if I would like to continue renting her room if she leaves. I haven't given her an answer yet.
To say that I won't miss her is absurd. Of course, I will. It's a different matter when she finally leaves for Bicol coz it would be a long time until I'd finally be able to see her again. I would definitely miss her cooking (she makes the most delicius ginataang hipon, ginataang alimango and ginataang alimasag). She taught me how to cook "sikad-sikad" and how to grill tuna belly. I would miss her appreciative nod whenever she taste my "sinigang na baboy" or the way she intercepts with my cooking (mahirap makipagtalo sa taong marunong magluto). Most of all, I would miss the way she would laugh abandonly whenever I crack a joke (no matter how silly). She will always be a special person in my life and I wish her well.
Here's to salute one of the most wonderful person I ever had the opportunity to meet.

I'm Having An Affair

He (yes, he) was the first person my eyes sought when I got home last night. I found him sitting by the door holding some sort of paper between his hands. He didn't seem to notice me so I decided to approach him. I asked how is he but he appeared to be busy with whatever it was that he's doing. So I looked him straight in the eye but he got irritated and pinched my cheeks with his two hands. Then, as if I disturbed him from such an important task, he pulled my eyeglasses!!!

Well, everyone knows what the consequence is when they accidentally touch my eyeglasses! It's the most untouchable part of my face and he just yanked it off me! His eyes seemed to apologize but I got annoyed with him so I decided not to take my usual kiss whenever I arrive. I went straight to the bedroom and changed my clothes leaving him to ponder about his mistake.

After changing clothes, I went to the living room, turned on the television and waited for Philippine Idol. He had gone to the dining table to have dinner but I didn't follow him. I continued ignoring him for the rest of the night. I don't know if he noticed that I'm annoyed with him but it seemed that he avoided getting near me as much as possible. Everyone was teasing him that I was mad at him but he just ignored them. I didn't even gave him his usual goodnight kiss before tucking myself to sleep.

In the morning, he was the first person I saw on my bed. It's as if he was waiting for me to wake up. He smiled upon seeing me open my eyes. And to my surprise, gave me his usual good morning kiss...and on the lips at that! I was taken aback! As if that wasn't enough, he offered his left cheek for me to kiss and as he did so I felt my heart melt within me. I kissed him and gave him a big bear hug and everything was right again between us after that...

Who is "he"? My 14-month-old nephew, Kenji. My favorite among them all and now you know why...

________________________________________

I've watched the title bout between Oscar Dela Hoya and Ricardo Magorca this afternoon. It wasn't boxing! Dela Hoya made Magorca the laughing stock among their peers...I loved the first round when Magorca flew to the canvass after Dela Hoya gave him a one-two combination...and of course, the sixth round when he can't get his bearings to defend himself and just allowed Dela Hoya to punch him no end. I enjoyed watching that one together with father and two elder brothers. Talk about "male bonding"....Bwehehehe!

Nuninuninu

Ayoko munang makita ka ngayon. Baka makita mo yung nakita
sakin ni kuya...Mahal na nga ba kita?...Hindi kita pwedeng
mahalin...

Eli, Maging Sino Ka Man


Why is it that you would never realize how you really feel about a person until someone else points it out to you?

You try to deny that you care about a person but you can't help talking about her among your peers. You try not to think about her. You try to say to yourself that everything is okay when in fact it isn't...

Then, you begin to question yourself but you don't really want to know the answers coz your afraid of what you might find. Until someone, a friend or a colleague, asks you pointblank:

Friend/Colleague: "Have you really fallen for her?"

You: (Stares at colleague incredulously.) "No. I don't want to fall. Not right now..."

Friend/Colleague: "But you already have..."

Oct 20, 2006

Until Then...

I don't know if its too early for me to admit this. Heck, I don't even know if this is the right time to tell you but I figured, what have I got to lose? I'm taking the first step now coz I might not have enough courage later.

I have been nursing this fascination for you since the day I met you. I'm making a big leap and I'm taking the risk because I don't want to continue groping in the dark. I don't want to ask questions and I don't like to search for answers.

Of course, I will still have to wait. I have to step back, reflect and be sure that what I feel is not just plain admiration or simple fascination. Until that time, I hope you'd still be around...

Pinipilit mang pigilin na ika’y aking isipin
Wala na yatang magagawa
Sana’y hindi ipagkait sa akin ang sandali
Na masilayan ka at marinig man lang ang tinig
Laging bukas ang puso ko upang ibigin ka
Laging wagas ang aking pagtingin at aking pag sinta.

My Firsts

I'm starting to get use to eating alone. Not so bad really, I found out that I eat faster when I'm alone. Unlike when I'm with someone that I would have to pace my eating with my companion. Plus, most likely pag may kasabay ako, matagal kasi nga kwentuhang umaatikabo. Unlike when I'm alone that all I have to pay attention to was the food on my plate. While having lunch yesterday, it made me realize that andami ko ng nagawa noon na mag-isa lang ako. Things that I never really thought that I'd do alone. Siguro nasasabi ko lang na hindi ko kayang gawin mag-isa dahil all my adult life, I'm surrounded with friends and peers (and lovers). So habang kumakain ako, pinilit kong isipin yung mga first time experiences...

First Book I Read: Believe it or not, the Bible. I learned how to read even before I went to Kindergarten. We used to have an English illustrated version of the Bible which I read. In truth, I find the Bible fascinating. There are more myths and magic stories in the Bible than in any other book. What with the stories of Abraham and Sarah having a child at their old age, Joseph and Egypt's seven years of plenty, Moses and the parting of the Red Sea, even Lazarus being brought to life after being dead for three days. One of the reasons perhaps kung bakit maagang lumabo ang mata ko. I remember my mother telling me to stop reading the Bible kasi baka daw mag-madre ako or minister or, worse, mabaliw! Hehe. If she only knew...

First Vivid Memory of School: Nung Kinder 1 ako (saling-pusa lang ako nun) kasi naman anliit ko and mas bata talaga ako sa mga classmates ko. There was this one time na yung teacher ko ay may schedule for observation ng principal and district supervisor. So nagkaroon kami ng practise lesson the day before and she kept reminding us na yung lesson na tinuro nya that day will be the same lesson na ituturo nya kinabukasan. May isang question sya na nasagot ko (mahilig ako sumagot ng tanong pag wala ng nagtataas ng kamay among my classmates). And talagang tuwang-tuwa yung teacher ko saken. On the day of observation, yung principal and district supervisor nasa likod ng classroom to observe and super behave kami ng mga classmates ko. Nung tinanong nung teacher ko yung same question like she did the day before, wala pa ring sumasagot, then, tinawag nya ako (coz we both know that I know the answer to the question). Hindi ko alam kung anong iniisip ko nun, basta bigla akong umiyak. Siguro natakot ako na magkamali ng sagot. Tsk.

First Crush: I had my first crush when I was in Grade 5. She's a transferee from another school. Her name is Jeffelle ("J" na naman?). She's chinita and maputi and her uniform was always immaculately clean. One time, nakasabay ko sya umuwi, ang sarap kausap and she's smart. Pity that she transferred to another school the following year...I wonder where she is now...

First (and last) Boyfriend: Ok, ok, malamang may magtataas ng kilay sa makakabasa nito. Yeah, I had a boyfriend. It was the summer before my senior year in high school. His name is Allan. I met him sa outreach program ng church namin sa GMA, Cavite. One week lang kami dun. Ang nakakatawa, sinagot ko sya after a day na inamin nyang crush nya ako (easy to get ano?). But honestly, it was more of peer pressure kaya ko sya sinagot. I'm not really into boys (as I found out much later) kaso yung mga kabarkada ko na kasama ko sa outreach was saying na kelangan sagutin ko daw kasi ako na lang daw hindi nagkaka-boyfriend sa barkada. When we went back home, we exchanged a few letters. The excitement eventually wore off and I just stopped communicating with him.

First Ocean Travel: That was summer of '98, Superferry 12 going to Cebu City. Um-attend ako ng Kawayan Camp together with Jeng. Active pa ako sa church nito and I was getting involved in Christian youth activities sa PUP (under Kalasag Christian Fellowship). I remember, maalon ang dagat nun kaya para kaming dinuduyan sa loob ng cabin habang natutulog at umuurong yung plates at mga baso habang kumakain kami. Hindi naman ako nagsuka, unlike nung iba kong kasama na sobrang hilo, they weren't able to explore yung barko. Basta ang alam ko, may swimming pool ang Superferry 12 at madalas patugtugin yung jingle ni Sharon Cuneta na "super ferry...talagang trip kita"...at hindi pala kumpleto yung life vests sa mga cabin (hindi pa naman ako marunong lumangoy).

First Air Travel: Domestic flight lang, nung nagpunta kaming Zamboanga para sa work. We took the first flight papunta dun. Yung kasama ko (Cheryl din ang name), alam nyang first time ko sumakay ng plane, panay ang asar saken! At talagang pinaparinig nya ata sa lahat ng taong kasakay namin na first timer ako. Tanong ng tanong kung uminom daw ba ako ng Bonamine bago sumakay, baka hindi daw ako makatulog, etc. Pati tuloy yung team leader namin, tawa ng tawa. Sabi ko sa kanya: "Che, pwedeng tumahimik ka? ihuhulog kita dyan sa bintana (nasa window seat sya)." Ang fear ko nun e yung Abu Sayyaff kasi Siocon pala ang pupuntahan namin, pero wala namang untoward incident na nangyari. Paglapag lang nung plane, sabi saken ni Cheryl, halikan ko daw yung lupa...At meron palang nakakatuwang karatula kaming nakita habang nagbi-byahe sa van. Yung isang bakery sa Zamboanga City na ang pangalan ay: "Master Baker"...*grins*

First Movie Watched Alone: I can't remember when "The Mask of Zorro" was shown here. Tanda ko lang nasa college ako nun. I'm not even sure why I was in SM City at that time. Basta ang alam ko, malakas ang ulan nun kasi may bagyo and basang-basa yung lower part ng pants ko kasi lumusong ako sa baha. Hindi ko rin alam what made me purchase a ticket and go to the cinema alone. Big mistake kasi anlamig ng aircon. I end up not understanding the movie at all kasi two hours akong nangangaligkig ng ginaw sa loob.

First Time I Ate Alone in Public: This happened siguro about a month pag-alis ni Jeng. I can't remember exactly kung saang fastfood yun (ang alam ko sa SM City din). All I remember is that I somehow felt awkward and stupid, eating alone. After nung experience na yun, hindi ko na inulit...ngayon na lang ulit. Hehe.

First Time I Ate Balut: This year lang. Very memorable kasi sort of Baptism of Fire ko yan kasi hindi naman talaga ako kumakain ng balut. I remembered the first time I did so, kasama ko si Jane kasi may surveillance operation kami sa Rennaissance Towers. Merong nagtitinda ng balut dun sa labas ng Ministop. Pareho kaming hindi kumakain ng balut ni Jane pero parang na-dare lang. So bumili kami ng tig-isa. Buti na lang maliit yung sisiw at masarap yung vinegar nung manong. Kinain ko lahat, maliban sa balat at yung bato na tinatawag. Siguro mga tatlong sunod-sunod na gabing kumakain kami ng balut dun. Tumigil kami nung nagsimulang magsakitan ang mga batok namin...

First time sa Strip Joint: Haha. Hindi ko alam kung worth it pang i-kwento ito. Imagine ang kasama kong pumunta dun mga lalaki? Ako lang nag-iisang "alien". Nagkayayaan lang kasi may surveillance operation kami sa Quiapo. E, andami dun, tabi-tabi pa. So we went to this cheap one malapit sa Isetann Recto. Big mistake din kasi ampapangit ng babae (pwera biro). Hindi ko alam pero, honestly, naawa rin ako sa kanila. Kahit anong gawin, babae pa rin ako. Sino ba naman may gustong sumayaw ng ganun? Tapos, hiyang-hiya yung mga officemates ko kasi yung "first experience" ko daw sa ganun e hindi maganda.

First time I Drank Beer: Freshman or sophomore lang ata ako sa high school lang nun. Sa bahay, parang coming out of age. Pero present ang nanay at tatay ko. I supposed I got so drunk that night kasi may kasama pang yosi plus Pilsen pa yung ininom ko. I hated the morning after kasi nagkaroon ako ng pantal-pantal sa buong katawan na sobrang kati!!! Parang kinagat ako ng isang milyong higad...After nun, matagal bago ako uminom ulit and I hated beer all thru high school. Ngayon...balik-beer ulet. Hehe!

Marami pang first time. Kwento ko pa ba yung, first time I had my period? first kiss? first time I fell inlove? first eyeball with online acquaintance? Nakakatawang maalala pero madalas pagkatapos ng first experience, parang merong nabubuksang pinto para sayo. Kahit gaano ka-simple yung first time, masarap pa rin alalahanin kasi ibig sabihin, nag-take ka ng risk. And that is the only thing that's important. Hindi yung experience itself kundi yung thought that you took the risk. Kasi after ng first time, sisiw na yung mga kasunod...

Sadness

Life is the process of finding love; every person will need to find four people in their life.
First person is you,
Second person is the one you love most,
Third person is the one who love you most,
And the fourth is the one you spend the rest of your life with...
In life, initially, you will meet the one you love most, and learn how love feels. Because you know how love feels, so you can find the person who loves YOU most. When you experienced the feeling of loving others and being loved, you will then know what it is you need most. Then you will find the person who is most suitable for you, to be able to spend the rest of your life with.
Sadly, in real life, these three people are usually not the same person.
The one you love most doesn't love you.
The one, who love you most, is never the one you love most.
And the one you spend your life with, is never the one you love most or the one who love you most. He is just the person who happens to be at the right place at the right time.
Which person are you in other people's life?


If this is true, I've already found the second and third person...
_________________________

Sabi nila, lucky daw ang number 8. Don't know if it's true. It's the eighth of October tomorrow and it's the funeral schedule of my two uncles. My father went home to Pangasinan last night to attend his brother's funeral while me and my mother will be going to Bagong Silang tomorrow to attend the funeral of my aunt's husband. Parang wala na akong panahong maging malungkot at magluksa para sa mga naiwan...masyadong malungkot na ang week na ito para saken. Rest in peace Uncle Abelino and Tito Ramon...

Finally!




A funny thing happened this morning. Nasa elevator na ako kaninang around 0845H at sa totoo lang maraming tao sa elevator at that time in the morning dahil hindi gumagana lahat ng elevator sa West Tower. So nag-aabang ako ng elevator with about eight other people. Natuwa naman ako nung umilaw ng ng berde yung isang elevator na malapit sa akin kasi, finally, makakasakay na ako. Medyo nagpahuli ako kasi hindi naman nagmamadali as I have plenty of time to spare. Naunang pumasok sa elevator? Isang lalaki at isang babae. At bigla na lamang, sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan ay nagsara ang pintuan ng elevator! O, di ba, bongga??? At talagang dire-diretso syang sumara kaya naman hindi ko napigilan ang mapabulalas, "ayos, ah! nagsolo?!" Well, for all I know, hindi nila sinasadya yun. Baka nalito yung babae at ngayon lang sya nakasakay ng elevator sa tanang buhay nya...Ok, change topic kasi hina-high blood na naman ako! Baka magkasala pa ako nito. I take that back. Hindi pala yun nakakatuwa...nakakayamot yun!!! Grrrrr!
Tungkol naman sa pics sa taas? Kuha yan sa tilapyaan nina Vicky sa Candaba, Pampanga. So, malamang ganyan ang itsura ni Crisostomo at Elias nung namangka sila sa Pasig River ayon sa novel ni Rizal. Hehe.

Single

I was joking to my eldest bro this morning. Narinig ko na naman kasi sya na nagsi-sermon (na may halong parinig) at around 6AM. Ang aga-aga kaya nun?! Sabi ko sa kanya, "alam mo, mag-asawa ka na rin kasi para hindi ka iritable..." Na sinusugan naman ng nanay ko na "oo nga." Umismid lang ang kuya ko, sabay sabi "para ano? hindi na, noh! kung ala rin lang akong ipapakain!" Come to think of it, wala na sa kalendaryo ang edad ng kuya ko. Ang ate ko, nagka-anak at age 30. At ako? Turning 27 but just got off from a two-year relationship.

I can't remember the exact date when my last relationship ended. Parang masyado ng matagal. Naiinip ba ako sa pagiging single? Hindi ko alam. In truth, this may be the first time in my adult life na naging single ako. Who would ever think that this will happen? Certainly, not me. A year ago, I was happily living with someone who so obviously adores me...Ok, ok, change topic na.

Ok rin naman maging single, ah! You can do whatever you want. Go to places you want to go kasama ang sinumang gusto mong makasama without guilt feeling or fear that a common friend or acquaintance might see you and magsumbong sa significant other mo. Pwede ka tumawag at mag-text kung kanino mo gusto ng walang magtatanong sayo kung sinong kausap mo o kung sinong ka-text mo. Mas may panahon na ako sa sarili ko ngayon tsaka sa family ko at mga kaibigan. At higit sa lahat, wala akong iniisip na pagkakagastusan para regaluhan sa Pasko, Birthday o Monthsary/Anniversary (although hindi ako naniniwala sa monthsary, mas bilib ako sa anniversary, e).

So being single has its advantage pero bakit feeling ko, habang tina-type ko yung last paragraph...parang nagsa-sour graping ako? Hmp! Kenis, di ba?
