Onse
Agosto na at ilang 2log na lang at mararating ko na ang bansa
ng mga Pilipino na katulad ko. Onse na araw ang bibilanging bago ang paglisan
mula sa lupang tinubuan. Onse na araw na doblehen ang oras para maging
beinte2. Onseng beses na pagtulog na lang at nangangarap na andyan na
ako sa piling mo. Onseng patak ng tubig sa aking mukha hanggang marating
ang lupang pinagdugtong ng dagat. Onse ang bilang ng nagmamahalan. Ang
isa at isa ay dalawa.
Tadhana
Ano ang nakaukit sa tadhana? Etong entry na ito. :)
Bakit Tagalog? Oops Pilipino pala!
Buwan ng pambansang wika ngayon. Pero por the sake of our English
speaking only readers, we will akomodate your reading pleisure. Hehehe.
Anyway, trip ko lang na sulatin ang aking mga kaisipan sa pambansang wika
nating Pilipino. Sana di ninyo ako pintasan pag nakaulayaw ko kayo sa
sining ng pakikipagtalastasan. Bigyan ninyo ako ng kalayaang maipamalas
ko ito.
Trapik!
On my way to Kahului, it took me 2 hours to get there. May banggaan
sa may tunnel. Ready na ba ako for Manila trapik? Hell, no! I am getting
insane with this urban madness. It takes so much of my life force that
I would come home na parang zombie na. Should I dwell in the urban wilderness
or in the country wilderness? I reach out my hand...

Dream

Bruna is on her way to Manila
Bruna will finally go to Manila and will be able to see where
Bruno's home country. Bruna was so excited until she noticed her master
was sad and wondered why. The master was looking at the fish pendant with
a sigh. He wore it two days ago to feel its essence and breathe the presence
surrounding the pendant.

Demolished
Got your email with a farewell. I have no intention of letting
you fall and don't catch you. First you were bed-ridden, and second the
worst hit us. Aren't we supposed to meet in this lifetime? I am on my
way to you and in times of adversity, I ask my God to shield us from external
influence.

Have you checked your relationship? See diagram above.
If we can only get past misery, we can make it all the way up.
Death Aborted
If I stayed up late last night till the sun came up and went
to work, I would have met Death. I was not feeling well and if I forced
myself to work on the paper with my colleagues I wouldn't
be writing this journal entry. I must live to see you today. For
if I won't see you in this lifetime, perhaps the next.
Lagi Na Lang
Lagi na lang ang trapik at aburidung-aborido na ako. Perhaps
dito naman ako sa kabila magtrabaho o di kaya'y mag-telecommuting. Nagbibilang
na lang ako ng buwan bago ito magisnan ang kaganapan nito.
Songwriting
If only I could put tunes to the words I write. For you have
the gift to make this words shine in melody.

Producing an Original Thought
It wasn't my idea but it was hatched by our business partner,
Origto came hot off the press last night. The whole day we toiled on this
task and the first shirt came to be and it is on its way there to the
masses. We believe that no two shirts are alike since it is all original.
We were done at 3 a.m. and I have felt a sense of accomplishment.
I share our successful project to you and I know you are happy for this
little venture. There you go. Thanks for your support.

In The Pink Room
I have moved some of my stuffs to the pink room. The white room
is starting to lose its grandeur like the blue room that was. The pink
room is not mine. It is my temporary storage spece while I am out of town
for the next three weeks. Maybe by the time i come home, our new room
with a touch of europinoy will be finished and it is ready for occupation.
I'm thinking of replacing the bed since it is the source of my back pain.
My back is aching every time I wake up in the morning as well as my neck.
I call it torture. Aargh! It is nice to have a new room but acclimating
to it will take time. May it be filled with the essence that filled the
old room with the scent of lavender.

Never Left the Room
For the past two days, I've been sleeping here in the house by myself while the rest of my housemates were in the other house. You are now in your new room while my room is not built yet. Tonight is my last night in this room and I haven't seen the the faces of my family members. I am packing right now for a journey. Destination--YOU.
