THE SMILE THAT NEARLY KILLED ME

One rainy afternoon, I was inside my favorite coffee shop, sitting at my favorite spot, holding my newly bought book, sipping my oh-so-yummy coffee; Perfect day. The thing about my favorite table in that coffee shop is that I can look outside, in the swarm of people passing by through the glass wall. I put my book down, held my pen and started scribbling but something seems to be missing. I looked out again, in the sea of faces, I can see different kinds of things just with their expression. And each time I scrutinize the mood of the flock, there isn’t a time that I did not see love. Well, it’s kind of a cliché to talk about love but it always give us a stir so we’re cool.;) Anyway, when I talk to my friends about how they wanna meet their “love bugs” they would always say ‘in a romantic way’. How’s that? I think, it’s not about HOW you meet that person, I prefer it to be WHEN are you going to meet your one true love. Timing is everything and if the time is right everything follows. But or course, I respect the notion of my friends when it comes to love, since we all have different perspectives on looking at it. Back to my coffee and stuff, I thought how love can be so mysterious, and it gave me an idea of what to write about and what to squiggle…the stanzas ran smoothly and my bookmark art came out cute… That’s how love influences a person. Nonetheless, as I finished my masterpiece I went out and joined the throng, walked under the drizzle, smiling at strangers, and thought of when will I be seeing my love bug. Suddenly, my imagination took me to paradise. Sitting on a big rock, fresh air filled my lungs, the cool breeze kissing my face and the sound of cascading waters consoled every bit of me. Then, when I got back to my senses, the drizzle has stopped and people seem not to notice me; a crazy lady standing in the midst of the crowd facing the sky, smiling to her self. One busy day in the metro, I take pleasure in walking, seeing faces, and loitering around this place. The ambiguity of finding my love bug lingers, I chuckled. I sat down at one of the cute benches; I felt someone is staring at me. He’s wearing black which suits him, and that cute DC shoes fits him, I didn’t realize I was staring back at him, I felt a sudden tachycardia, held my breath and looked back again, he’s still there and in that glance, he smiled at me. Then bright lights sparkled around him, and in a long time, I wished time does not exist…T’was January of 2011…J

Alamat ng Lipistik

Friday again! Happy weekend world! Again, I ask myself, how can I fucking write something happy and witty, if all I can do is sulk over the idea or feeling of being unwanted. I can’t even say that I like myself. Feeling ko nagkakaron na naman ako ng episode of the inevitable. Pero I can get over this, I know. Una sa lahat, patawad sa mga nagbabasa ng blogs ko, ang boring kong tao. Dead kid. Wala ng nagaganap na interesting sakin, maliban sa madami akong natututunan sa work ko. Yeth, I’ll tell you about my job. Nasa harap lang sya ng magandang building ng San Miguel. Nung 2015, wala pa tong building. Nag work kasi ako dati sa tabi netong building. Big hole lang to non. Dead end. Tanginang train of thought, napuputol, humihinto. Im cursed!!! Ohmaygaaaad! Gagawa na lang ako ng quick alamat! Ang topic for today, mga bata, ay tungkol sa alamat ng lipstick. Bilang mahilig sa lippie ang ating may akda, gumawa sya ng kwento tungkol sa kung paano nagsimula ang pamahid sa labi n...

SINGKONG BUTAS

Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, ultimo barya mahalaga. (kaganapan sa jeep umagang pauwi ako) Pasahero: bayad, wilcome.(lalakeng mukang papasok palang, ayoko maging judgmental, basta papasok palang) *abot bayad,abot sukli. bilang.kunot noo ni kuya passenger* P: magkanu ba hanggang wilcome? Driver: unse. P: subra ka singko. D: Salamat. *********************************************************************** Sa sobrang corrupt ng mga tao sa tabi-tabi, sa taas tass, mas may dangal pa ang ordinaryong tao na nagttrabaho sa ilalim ng araw kaysa sa mga taong nasa malambot na upuan at malamig na opisina. Nakakalungkot isipin na sa kabila ng pagnanais nating magluklok ng tapat na opisyal ng gobyerno, tila parang may masamang elemento ang nagluluklok sa kanila sa pwesto. Ano nga ba ang masamang elemento na naghahasik ng lagim sa gobyerno?PERA. Sabi nila, hindi ang pera ang sumisira sa buhay ng tao, kundi ang pagmamahal at pagnanais na magkamal ng limpak limpak na salapi. Aanhin mo ang...
