A Galera Tale


I was back last Friday and stayed until Sunday morning.

It was quite interesting because I was able to stay for three days.

As always, I cannot help but be emotional and melodramatic. What can I do? I was in the place where I fell in love with you.

Last Friday night, it was a nice feeling to lay my back upon the sands of the shore and just stare into the sky. My eyes went from one star to another. Then I thought of you.

Staring at the sky, I saw a falling star. I smiled. I remember the last time I saw a falling star at the same place, the child inseide me wished for you. I wished that you will, like the star, will fall for me.

Five months later, you still have not. I wonder if the falling star I saw that night is the same star I wished upon.

I closed my eyes, fighting back an outpour of emotions.

When I opened my eyes, I wondered if a falling star could fall twice. If a person is capable of falling in and out of love and then falling in love again with the same person.

I thought of you and sighed. I decided that resting myself on the shore was not doing me any good. I am beginning to be sober.  

I went back to our place. Surprisingly, when I checked on my phone, you had a message for me sent twice. Are you thinking of me the same time I was thinking of you?

haay...emote na naman...

I never want to go back to where I used to be. I want to move on.

But I have to say, and I know others will agree when I say this, moving on is a task easier said than done.

i can't unlove you.

I read that line (stated in the title) somewhere. Prolly in one of the forums I browse in everyday. After reading this, the emotional side of me flicked on. It's as if it triggered something inside of me.

And for this, I submit myself into writing this post.

It is never too easy to move on from someone you loved. It is not easy to heal a heart broken into pieces. It is never too easy to go against your second nature. It is not easy to stop something that continues to flow, like my love.

Three months ago, I used to breath you. I used to say your name every night before I sleep. I used to think of you every waking hour. I used to smile everytime I hear your name.

It is so easy to say that I moved on away from you but sometimes that is not the case.

I would be lying if I say that I am not thinking about you anymore. I would be lying if i say that I stopped dreaming of you and me together. I would be lying if I say that there are no more tears shed for you. And I would be the biggest liar if I say that I ceased on loving you. I would be lying if I say that I am not tempted to text you everytime the urge comes.

I just do not understand why things happened that you cannot comprehend. I do not understand why I am feeling so bad everytime I ignore your messages. I do not understand why I feel like a numb and selfish person everytime I laugh at every story that find its way through me.

I know it's my choice to be this way. I just do not understand why I ave to do this. Is it just to prove something? I don't know.

Bottom line is: love really is confusing. It makes you wanna do things you do not know why you want to do it.

There. I've said it. Now, this post will make you think if I am back where I used to be. I have to tell you, I AM NOT.

But I am halfway back there. I miss him so much.

MESSAGE FOR YOU

I recieved your message. I did not reply.

You know why? Because I have to this for myself. I am afraid of losing myself with you again.

making a fool out of myself...


I almost deleted my previous post but i decided not to.

Why? natatawa lang ako sa sarili ko. One moment I am okay, the next, I am not. Ang gulo.

I guess I was overcome with my emotions when I wrote the previous post.

Emotions can make me lose my senses in a snap. Sometimes, just listening to a sad love song could break me down into tears.

It's just emotion that's taken me over caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul.

And I don't think there is anything wrong with being in touch with your emotions. I think the only thing that is wrong with me is that i let it overtake me too much.

I have to find someone. I just HAVE to.

random thoughts on a very hot day...


This is a very quick post about what I am thinking right now...

First, I have to gain weight. Funny how other people say that they should lose weight while i want to gain some. The SMALL size of jeans in Oxygen is loose for me. I want to fit in a jeans which waistline is 28 (that is the smallest for the guys.).

Second, I am currently feeling guilty right now. Guilty of what? This must be funny, but I am guilty of buying too much things for myself. I am guilty because I am afraid of what my family will say. Actually, I regularly give my mom some money every payday, but awhile ago when I came home from a mall with two papers bag, one from a very expensive store, I kinda felt guilty. And i cannot avoid thinking and asking myself if I am giving enough money to my family. Or if I should give something for my siblings.

That's my quick post for today. More details and stories tomorrow.

What should i do?!?1 HELP!

 

Ate Bumble (a co-worker from Saga) called me yesterday asking me if I could do some work for her. So I asked her what kind of work and where. So she told me that I would act as a talent coordinator for a pictorial of an international caendar on May 19, 20 and 21. I told her that my sked for GMA this week would be from 12 NN - 6 PM and asked her if there is anything I can do to help within my free hours. Then she broke the greatest (great if I would be able to join) news: the pictorial will take place on PALAWAN.

OMG.

So, speechless ako but I still haven't said yes. The details are not final yet so I have to wait for another day. She still hasn't called.

First things first, I don't want to absent myself for two consecutive days on my work in GMA. But I want to go to Palawan.

Ate Bumble said that they will pay me a thousand per dy. So for three days, I will have three thousand pesos. Not bad. Considering that the job only means coordinating with the models.

ARGH!! I need help! what should i do?!?!

back at the morning shift...


I am back to the 4 AM shift this week. I am SO sleepy. I should still be sleeping at this time.

He texted me last Friday night when I was at Malate. All the anger seems to flow out of the window. I guess I value him more than the anger I felt over the things he did which pained me.

One text, and the gates to our memories (which I already closed) had been opened. All of the memories came flooding in as i read the text. This, I think, made the anger, the pain and all the hatred I felt disappeared.

It seems as if he just read my blogs last Friday night. And the text message contained a no-explaining-myself apology and he wants me to hear his side of the story for the sake of fairness. I replied telling him I am more than willing to hear his side for the fairness that he was telling me. __________________________________________________________

prayers last night

If this is a toll of me not going to church every Sundays; if this is a toll of me thinking of myself too much; if this is a toll of me being inconsiderate of other’s feelings; if this is a toll of me being too happy when others are sad; if this is a toll for my every sin, then I’m sorry.  

Last night, I prayed. Kinausap ko si Lord bago ako matulog. Sabi ko, “Siguro totoo ang kasabihin na madaling sabihin ngunit mahirap gawin, di ba Lord? Dahil bakit si M at si P hindi magawang iwan ang isa’t isa eh super obvious naman na they are not doing any good to each other. Hindi na healthy ang pagsasama nila. Bakit pa umuuwi si P gayon natutulog lang siya sa bahay? Ang weird.”

Habang sinasabi ko ito, naisip ko ang sarili ko nuon. Naisip ko nuon nagmahal ako nuon college days. Dalawang taon rin akong hindi nakapag-move on dahil sa kanya. Dalawang taon akong hindi nagmahal at walang sawang naghintay sa wala. May dumating nga, umalis rin naman.

Duon ko naintindihan si M at si P. Actually, hindi ko sila naintindihan pero alam ko kung bakit hindi nila maiwan ang isa’t isa. Ito ay as dahilan na mahirap unawaan hangga’t hindi mo nararanasan magmahal at masaktan. Ang gulo noh. Pero alam kong naiintindihan niya kung bakit. Alam kong hindi na nila mahal ang isa’t isa, ni hindi nga man lang sila naguusap. Siguro isang dahilan kung bakit hindi nila maiwan ang isa’t isa ay dahil sa mga nagawa nila sa isa’t isa at sa mga bunga ng kanilang pagmamahal.

Sa pag-iisip ko nito, bumalik ako kay Lord, “Eh bakit mo pinagsasama ang dalawang tao na alam mong hindi naman magtatagal? Bakit kailangan may mamagitan sa kanilang dalawa gayon nuon ay pinagsama mo sila?

“Sabi nga nila, there are things better left unsaid. Pero if that silence is raking up more problems, dib a dapat magsalita na ang isa? Dapat magsalita na ang isa sa kanila.”

Siguro sinagot rin ako ni Lord ng tanungin ko siya dahil naisip ko na naman ang naging sitwasyon ko nitong mga nakaraang buwan lang. Siguro kung naririnig ko si Lord, sasabihin niya sa akin, “eh bakit hindi ka nagsalita sa mahal mo nuong nasasaktan ka na niya? Bakit hinayaan mo na lang masira ka at ang pagkakaibigan niyo ng dahil sa galit na nadama mo laban sa taong mahal mo?”

Nang maisip ko ito, isa lang ang lumabas na dahilan: TAKOT. Ewan ko pero being afraid can really destroy a person. Hindi ko alam ang kinakatakutan ng ibang tao pero sa akin, natatakot akong umiyak, mag-isa, malungkot at masaktan.

Sinagot ulit ako ni Lord, “Hindi ka ba nasaktan ng hindi ka magsalita?” “Nasaktan,” “tingnan mo.”

No guts, no glory nga sabi nila. Lalo na sa love. Masasaktan ka kapag ayaw sa iyo ng mahal mo. Pero kapag natakot kang sabihin sa isang tao na mahal mo siya, masasaktan ka rin sa pinaggagawa niya at sa pagbale wala niya sa iyo. Na sa katunayan, hindi ka naman niya binabalewala. Wala naman kasi siyang responsibilidad sa iyo, hindi naman kayo. Ikaw lang at siya lang, walang kayo. “Nasaktan ka na, umaasa ka pa. Yan ang nangyari sa iyo nang matakot ka Chicco,” sabi ni Lord sa akin.

Sa aking pagdarasal kagabi, narealize ko na lahat ng gusto kong gawin ni M at ni P ay hindi madali. Kaya ako natakot sabihin sa kanya yun dahil natatakot akong mareject. Natakot akong makasakit ng iba. Natatakot akong saktan ang sarili ko. Ganoon din siguro sila.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang kinatatakutan nila kaya ayaw nilang harapin ang kanilang problema. Pero isa alng ang sigurado ako, may kinatatakutan rin sila.

Lahat ng gawin ng isang tao may masamang dulot sa iba. May masasaktan kapag masaya ang isa, may masaya kapag may nasaktan. Ngunit sa bawat saya at sa bawat sakit na nadadama ng tao, may magandang naidudulot ito sa isang tao, isang magandang leksyon sa buhay.

“Marami akong kasalanan, Lord. Kaya kung itong mangyayari sa akin ay kabayaran para sa mga nagawa kong masama, sorry na.”

If this is a toll of me not going to church every Sundays; if this is a toll of me thinking of myself too much; if this is a toll of me being inconsiderate of other’s feelings; if this is a toll of me being too happy when others are sad; if this is a toll for my every sin, then I’m sorry.

I still have faith in our friendship. I still believe in our friendship. And it still lives inside of me kahit hindi tayo nagkikita.

With this, I also believe that we can make amendments. Maaayos rin ito. Believe me.

The farmgirl is now THE AMERICAN IDOL


It came true!! CARRIE UNDERWOOD is the 2005 American Idol. Cant wait for her album. I love the song she sang when she won. Inside Your Heaven, despite its cheesy lyrics, I kinda like her version of the song. I also love Angels Brought me Here.

About the Idol's showdown, I almost thought that Bo would win this thing because of his performance of Sweet Home Alabama with Lynard Skynard. I also love Carrie's acoustic performance of Bless the Broken Road with rascal Flatts. Now, I can't wait to sing that song to someone.

here is the lyrics of the two songs.

Inside Your Heaven

I've been down
Now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation
Comin' around
I guess it's right
And so amazing
Everytime I see you
I'm alive
You're all I've got
To lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
When the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

When minutes turn to days and years
When mountains fall I'll still be here
Holding you until the day I die

And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
When the storm blows your way

And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
When the storm blows your way
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

Oh yes I do
I wanna be inside your heaven

Angels Brought Me Here"

[Verse 1]
It's been a long and winding journey, but i'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces, and walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory, where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling, when i look into your eyes...

[Bridge]
My dreams came true, when i found you
I found you, my miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, that you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

[Verse 2]
Standing here before you, feels like i've been born again
Every breath is your love, every heartbeat speaks your name...

[Bridge 2]
My dreams came true, right here in front of you
My miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

[Bridge 3]
Brought me here to be with you,
I'll be forever grateful (oh forever Faithful)
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle...

[Chorus]
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...
Yes they brought me here...
If you could feel, the tenderness i feel...
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here.

Cant wait to burn her live performances later. Now, AI4 is over. I do not know what to do every Wednesdays and Thursdays, 3PM. Waaahhh!

Still sleepy at work.

A Tale of a Star Crossed Couple


Love and Crazy. I can never think of anything to describe the former word but the latter.

This morning, I just heard a tale of another couple who is caught up between the two words.

Love can make you do things that is unusual to an observer. Only those who fell crazy in love can understand the craziness one can do in the name of love.

So for the couple, I understand every tears that the girl cried because of the guy. And I even understand why the guy wanted to stay away from the girl.

Love is irrational. No reason can justify the things that we are capable of doing for the sake of love.

A person in love can commit suicide, can cry his/her eyes out, can say things that he/she did not mean and the list goes on.

Loving someone is like a river flowing to the sea. One cannot stop it or else it will over flow.

Going back to the couple, I understand them both. The pain of love is just too much for one to bear it alone. But my heart goes out to the fruit of their love, their baby.

She is too young to see or even hear her parents shout and cry. And to make things worse, she cannot do anything but to cry. I just wish she would grow up as strong as her mom and as brave as her dad.



Hey you, out there. I miss you.

Hey you, over there. I cannot wait for our talk.

Hey you, far from me. Go near me so we can talk.

Hey you, yes, YOU. Save me.



I think the smile part of this post is cheap.
