i miss IT.

I’m at loss for words. I haven’t touched on this feeling for quite a while... or any feeling for that matter. Keeping myself really preoccupied with things to shrug off what I really feel. I’ve already lost track of how long I’ve been doing this. A year? 2 years? 3 years?

Why?

I’m tired of feeling.
Im tired of getting hurt.
Im tired of hoping.
I’m tired of believing.

Why?

Because I just wanted things back to how they were…

The way people would perfectly fit into each others schedules;
The way we’d get phone calls at 2 a.m. and have endless meaningful (and –less) conversations;
The way people would feel time has deliberately suspended itself to their advantage;
The way the world seemed a lot smaller to everyone;
The way everyone rode that emotional rollercoaster all together;
The way there was so much love and hatred;
The way there was so much jealousy and trust;
The way there was so much backstabbing and loyalty;
The way our lives would intertwine with one another.
The way everything meant so much or that it even meant the world to you.

If things were back to how they were, I wouldn’t mind feeling again.

But that won’t happen anymore.

I just really miss it..

the OC and growing up in the south.. what do they have in common? -- GO figure.

I’ll keep it plain and simple:

If you keep on complaining about the government…
If you do nothing but blame the current administration for all the mishaps of the country
It’s about time you put words into action…

GO REGISTER AND VOTE!
Let your voice be heard.

If you don’t have a sense of social responisiblilty, then just shut up and deal with the outcome.
It's a matter of initiative and responsibility.

I’m tired…
I’m tired of being your FALLBACK.
I really am.
I’ve ALWAYS been there for you.
I would fly to the moon and back if need be.
I hope you feel the same…
I don’t feel that you have the same sentiment anymore.
-----------
I’m hurt...
One fucking night changed everything.
Why did IT have to happen?
I tried my best to resist.
But now I LOVE YOU, I really do.
It would be insane to, but I do.
Society won’t approve of it,
But that’s how I feel for you.
I don’t know if I should fight for it…
-----------
I’m pissed…
You think I’m not over you…
Its been so long!
Being friends and wanting someone back are two different things.
Grow up if that’s what you still think.
-----------
I’m puzzled…
Why do you feel so strongly about me hanging out with her?
I will not do anything to jeopardize our friendship.
Its like you don’t trust the friendship we have.
Just waiting for you to talk to me about it.
I am just here for you.
-----------
I’m thankful…
I have found a new friend in you.
I haven’t told you but your being here for me has saved me
Thanks again.

The State of OUR Nation.

July 25, 2006– a day filled with promises; a serenade coming from her Excellency. She paints an imagery of an ideal Philippines as she envisions it to be. While giving her fellowmen a glimpse of what has yet to come, she fronts that of a strong republic, stable and unshakable.

Are we truly what we can call a strong republic? Does the state of our country truly agree with what was mentioned at the Batasang Pambansa? How will she fund all the projects she has set out to do for the remainder of her term? As Mrs. Arroyo addresses the nation, her critics, as well as some members of the business sector, have come up with these queries as a result of their skepticism. Her enthusiasts, on the other hand, soothed the presidents ears with applaud, resonating within the complex. So many views, so many reactions, but at the same time, so much to do for the progress of our country. Our president gave all the social classes what they wanted to hear. For the landed gentry (as well as the administration politicians), she gave them an overwhelming list of her future endeavors for the betterment of the country. As a result, the upper classmen wouldn’t think twice of supporting her projects and forget about the political insurgence hurled against her. The president needs their support. The question is, would they go fall for this? The middle class was given such a treat! Parts of this were the never-ending reiteration of additional employment and the development of our provinces to generate income for our country. Mrs. Arroyo needs to lure the middle class, for the silent majority lies within this social class. A large movement against her coming from the silent majority could bring about a major threat to her seat of power. Thing is, would they go for it? Lastly, the SONA also catered to the lower class. A part of the president’s address was to enumerate those that have given great pride and honor to the country. They were given an image of the Philippines as one that achieves in the international arena. It would make the masa feel a sense of nationalism and that of great accomplishment, as she would probably want them to feel. But would they go for it as well?

My thoughts are simple. There are strong points the president brought up, as well as points where it was obvious that she was trying to cover some things up. The president wouldn’t utter so much about her future projects, if her cabinet, which includes her financial advisor, did not back these up. I am quite confident that all these projects were thoroughly studied and given the go signal by her constituents. The president isn’t stupid to say such things just for the sake of the crowd’s applause. She knows for a fact that all the promises she made were recorded and will be checked from time to time. The 2% increase in our taxes (from 10% to 12%), as the undersecretary of finance said, is already sufficient to make these projects happen and there is no need to increase the taxes once again. There was a comment made by one of the opposition congressmen on how low the percentage drop in terms of unemployment rate, fiscal deficit rate, etc. as the president was talking about in her SONA. Sadly, the congressman has already been blinded by his own predisposition to get PGMA out of office. A drop from a sixty plus to a forty plus percentage is already a notable improvement in terms of unemployment. Looking at it in a macro perspective, this is already a big change. Progress is on its way, according to PGMA’s SONA. One of the two opposition senators who were present during the SONA said that GMA didn’t report on the TRUE state of the Philippines. According to her, she didn’t mention the political killings, the increasing prices of all the good and services, etc. which is what the country is facing right now. True. The President was too focused on the future (which is good in a way), but forgot, or maybe “intentionally” forgot, the pressing matters of the country today. I would have given her more credit if she confronted the negative issues head on, or at least literally pointed out each of her project proposals as concrete solutions for today’s problems (if that’s what she was trying to do). We do not live in a perfect world; I would have understood it if she also brought up the things that make our country “imperfect”. She didn’t want to talk about political issues. Fine. But when citizen’s lives and their freedom are already at stake, it goes beyond that. She should have said something about it and not just ignored such controversial issues. Her speech was very direct and specific, but the specifics only talked about what she would do in the future. What about situations that need solutions NOW? (But as I commented earlier, unless those were already the solutions she gave for today’s issues)

The majority complain of how hard life is, but this isn’t a problem secluded only in our society, it is happening globally. You see, we cannot be dependent on the president for our specific needs. In any organization, the head may have the best plans lined up for his people, but if the body doesn’t have enough sense to take the initiative to participate, no progress will take place.

It is still up YOU, not HER.

It seems so paradisiacal,
When we're together, it's magical,
The hours are counting down,
Down to our dusk,
Green fire blazing within us.

The aura never to be broken down,
We face the storm of this vast abyss,
Shine on us with this light of gold,
We head out breaking them down.

chorus:
Green, Gold, and White
We hold our head up high
Green, Gold, and White
Together we will make through
No matter what you put us through
to stand the test of time
Hail hail hail hail

It's time for us to say goodbye,
But our journey has just begun
All we've learned will pull us through
For everything we just wanna thank you.

Hail hail hail hail
Hail to our alma mater

Words

Fartoty!
My friends were playing scrabble in tagaytay, then all of a sudden, one of the letter rests formed the word fartoty (Take note: they were trying to fill the whole bored with letters… so all their brains were kind of whacked that night). So when they caught that on cam, they didn’t stop laughing. I can’t give you a blow-by-blow account of what happened because I wasn’t there at that time. Fine, I have something to admit, my friend, whom I was helping, and I, opted to leave the game and play cards instead! (REASON: As were about to put this word, AQUEAOUS, with hopes of getting back in the game, our competitor took the spot we were eyeing!!!! But see, the word meant so much points!!! It was really hard to let go! So we lost big time and became sore losers! Hehe! )

It’s over!
My friend introduced this phrase to the whole cast of the play that I was in. I was with her for one whole day… from 8 in the morning till 11 in the evening! SHEESH!! I ended up saying it for a whole week! It was funny how everyone just grew into it! There’s even variation, you can also say “It’s over for you!”

Chris: I am not gonna say that.
Chirs: (after sometime, he sits beside Pam, the pioneer of it all, and says) Its over.

Niki: What’s this with “It’s over”?
Pam: Haynako… inggit ka lang! Make your own expression nga!


Memz Lolz
In Cebu, my friend brought up the topic about yearbook writeups having MEMZ and LOLZ in it. Memz.. short for MEMORIES (Ex. Cebu memz, Canteen memz, thanks for the memz, freshmen memz, etc..) and Lolz.. short for LAUGH OUT LOUD(usually, you’ll see this after “hehe” is written. ex. I remember the day you fell! hahaha! LOLZ!)

I Loooove it!
the girls in my batch started saying this… It became an overnight phenomenon! But there’s one person who says it the best way possible… Menggay!

(in the car one morning)
Mark: I lOOOve it!
Mikki: what the hell?!?!? Even you’re hooked on to it, man?
Mark: I lOOOOve it! E its so nakakahawa eh!
Mikki: Do you see Meng in school ba? Are you guys blockmates?
Mark: No. Its just that…. I LOOOOOve iT!
Mikki: Well… Yeah… hehehe …that’s true…nakakahawa nga! I LOOOOVe it!
Mark: I LOOOOVe it! Hehehehehe
Mikki: I LoOOOve it! hehe
Mark: I LOOOOVe it! Hehehehehe
Mikki: I LoOOOve it! hehe
Mark: I LOOOOVe it! Hehehehehe
Mikki: I LoOOOve it! hehe
Mark: I LOOOOVe it! Hehehehehe
Mikki: This is gay man.. hehehehe!
Mark: Yeah… hehe
Mikki: two guys in the car at 6 in the morning… saying … I LooooVE it!
Mark: yeah…hehehe! (pauses for a while) …. I looove it!
Mikki: I LOOOOVe it! …..heheehee

… didn’t stop…

AwoW!
I got this from my batch as well… I think. There are several ways of using this expression…
Awow #1: Awow! (in awe. Very amazed way)
Awow #2: awow! (Disgusted way)
Awow #3:Awow! (in a freaked out way)
Awow# 4:Awow! (in a laugh trip way)

Gasti! / Solid!
This one from my batch too... I think (also)… hehe! I just found out recently that gasti originated from the word Tigas. It’s actually the same word, just interchanged the syllable.. get it? [Gas - ti] = [ti - gas]… And the word solid.. I think it's a "south thing"... :D

Ulul? / Lul?
People say that having “Ulul” in your everyday conversation is a south thing… true enough, whenever I say “Ulul ka talaga” or “Ulul?” to my friends from the north, they get agitated and they tell me not to say that… hmmm.. It’s just an expression?! What’s wrong with that? Hmm..

Backrub..
When I was in my senior year, this came up. Basically, you ask someone to give you a “backrub” when the people you’re talking to doesn’t mind you. You ask for a “double back rub” when you have already repeated yourself, but still, no reply from your uh… supposed “listeners”. If the comes a time where in someone doesn’t even bother to give you a backrub, you’ll just give one to yourself and probably leave the conversation and say to yourself that they aint worth talking to! You’re probably just wasting your saliva. Haha! :D

Hasel! Meano! Tae ka!
I don’t know where I got this one from, but I just started using it.. Obviously, I say this to people who are mean! …hehe! It has one variation .. “you’re a meanorizer! ” ..and baduy.. solid! Haha!

Are you serious?!
I have to admit.. I say this a lot.. especially when I don’t really pay attention to the conversation or when I have nothing else to say to you! Hehe.. so now you know.. haha!

3 years have gone by…I tried getting you back, but it was too late. I tried because I wanted to make up for the times I lacked in showing you that I really loved you. I tried because I wanted to show you that I wasn’t ready to let go of you. I wanted to show you that I was willing to risk everything to get you back. I wanted to prove to you that my intentions were true… but it was too late. I was always honest with you, even to the point of hurting you. I’m sorry. I was ignorant of the fact that jealousy is also a gesture of one’s love for the person. I was scared to lose you, but yet, I let you go just like that. I didn’t fight for you. I’m sorry. I realized this all too late. Still, I want you to know that I really did love you and did trust you with all that was in me. If I could just turn back the time, I would do things differently. You have been the biggest hang up of my life.

I had my girlfriend. We had our own world. She was all I imagined to be.




You fought FOR me and WITH me. You were always jealous every time I’d have a girl... You’d always make me your priority...We’d fight for this friendship even though people would think that It was no longer right. I was so lucky to have you in my life… You told me that you didn’t deserve me, that I was your anchor… But truly, It was you whom I didn’t deserve, I was you whom I held on to. Now that things are different, I finally let you go, I let you go because it was going to be unfair for the guy you love. I don’t know if that was a wrong decision, but all I know is that you’re already happy with him and that’s all that matters. It is really hard to balance both your best friend and your boyfriend. I wouldn’t give you up just like that, but seeing someone who does a great job in making you happy, that’s good enough for me. I don’t want to see what happened to my past happen to you. Just remember that I’m still here. Thank you so much for believing in me. At one point, thank you for making me your priority.

I had my girl best friend, my soul mate. She was everything that a guy could want as a best friend.



It’s been so long since I have talked, TALKED to you. So many things happened. Looks like you’ve changed. As for me, no… I’m still the same. The past still haunts me, man. I might have said unpleasant things, things that might have offended you… but those things were just said at a time where I felt like you betrayed me. Fuck man, I treated you like a REAL brother. Why did you have to do that? Why her? There came a point wherein you even told her not to talk to me but in the end, you just dropped her. What was that all about? If there’s one thing, I can’t stand up for myself. I don’t know how to pick a fight with someone who’s really close to me. I tried, but I just couldn’t be angry with you. I know I was also to blame, probably ‘coz I didn’t show her that I did really cared for her… but as a best friend, you should have stopped yourself. Bro, but despite all that, you were one of the greatest friends I have come to know. I will never forget the memories man. Honestly, never found a best friend that came close to this friendship. All the hatred I felt against you have gone.

I had my guy best friend. I valued that friendship so much, trusted him with my life.



You know I’m a weakling. If I had to call anyone to get me out of deep shit, it would be you. I knew that you would come to the rescue. Every time you were there, I felt that nothing could harm me. You became my security blanket. I drew strength from you man. But then, things changed… I opted to go with her instead of you guys. I know that it was a deliberate choice on my part and there were times when I would then regret it. Man, it was really hard to imagine that every time you guys would hang out, I wasn’t in the picture anymore. I guess others took my place, eventually. Sorry for the times where in I didn’t make myself available. Sorry for the times when I’d go home really early, or arrive really late. Sorry for the times where in I wasn’t there for you, to listen to you. After realizing this, I tried to fix it but there came a point wherein I felt left out between you guys, I couldn’t relate with the stories and the circle of friends you have formed. The gap was already too big to just jump right in. But when you left man, even though we weren’t that close anymore, it made me realize how much I should have valued the friendship, how much I needed a big brother. You mean so much.


I had my kuya. I felt that nothing could harm me, knowing that I had a big brother who was always there. He took good care of me.




We were best friends before, but since we realized that friendships were still a bit too temporary, we changed from best friends to brothers. We have proven that people need not to be blood related to become brothers. Bro, we have gone through so much man. You got me into trouble so many times… I’d cover for you so many times… I’d fight with you so many times… We’d have the same girls… we’d get into trouble so many times… You betrayed me so many times!!!!…but still, we surpassed all that. We’ve seen each other at our highs and our lows. We’d have big fights as if we were together... You even made me choose between you or my “soulmate”!!! You would tell me things I didn’t want to hear, but we both knew that I had to. Yes, I admit, I almost let you go man, I almost replaced you. But man, thank you so much for not giving up. You are the meano-est, most abusive person I know. You are an asshole, but nevertheless, I love you, my brother. But you, too, left me here. I realized how much it sucks not having someone to bug you almost everyday. I realized how much brothers should really value each other. I realized how much I need an everyday friend.


I had my little brother. He was my shadow.

Love is rare

It is very easy to feel...
It is very easy to feel that you love...


Everything starts with infatuation. All relationships, no matter how long or how intimate, start with the misleading emotion of being infatuated with one another. As shocking as it may sound, the “honeymoon stage” is just a fragment of the whole relationship, if the two continue to pursue a lasting bond. Infatuation is to be unavoidable at the start, true. This expected feeling, however, might mislead one into thinking that he has finally come to a point of wholeheartedly accepting everything about each other, including that of the other’s weaknesses.

The “natural high” brought by the relationship would not be present all the time. Times wherein one would feel unresponsive and uninterested in their relation with one another is inevitable. This is when all that has been blinded by the craze, starts to become visible. The imperfections of the person become clearer, as the spark begins to die down. Having said this, the true identity of your relationship is then revealed.




…Has Infatuation played with both into thinking that what they are feeling is that of “true love”?

...When “natural low” starts to enter the relationship, is acceptance harder to attain than having to stay on and work with each other’s diffrences?

Or


…Has the relationship surpassed the surface of mere infatuation with one another?

…Has this all escalated into accepting everything, most especially the flaws that one possesses?


Yes, It is very easy to feel...
Yes, It is very easy to feel that you love...

But TO love means another...
It is the choice to accept the entire being of the other...
that is love.

that
is rare to find.
