Sweetest thing... Sweetest Goodbye

Around this time a year ago, i arrived frm galera tired bt wid anticipatn. As i went down d bus i was calculating in my mind how d next 24 hours would go.

abt a month b4 dat i solicited two of my girlfriends help. I wanted to pull a gesture that s by far, and to date, d sweetest that i hav done. Of course that s next to writing d most beautiful poem one can write in abt ten minutes. (woah...Talk about self gratificatn.) The plan was to send flowers, bouquets, at random. And to create a dramatic effect d total number of flower setting was 28th to match nt jaus d date bt also d age.

i was suppose to wake up at around 4am bt bec i was tired and i had an unexpectd visit by, then a favored person, i had to make adjustments. It was jus ok bec my accomplices were both on duty dat same nyt. It was a wonderful nyt to sum it. I was at a crossroads. I was wid someone that myt define my future as im abt to give my final gesture of love to a lost one. That night i felt odd as i wrapd my arms around dat sweet face i hav lyin asleep next to me. I knew then that i would hav a renewd reason to smile everyday. I may hav accepted defeat and wid a blast say my farewell, one last time, bt somehow n my arms lies hope. Sadly, a few months aftr i had to let go again. Bt dis time it wasnt as hard...

dada, shie, and igo arrived b4 lunch time. I met them at the same time bought lunch. They were intrigued on d news of who was sleeping soundly in my bed. That time i cant convince them that im happy nt jus bec of d visitor, bt bec its d day. I pland 4 this day in my mind often enough that d prospect of something between dat special person in my room and seemd distant and unimportant. D day was 4 all about my lost...my defeat. I always had d flare 4 d dramatics that i decided to bid my farewell wid a gesture that exceeded anything that i have done for this person while were stil together. It was deserved. Defeated my love maybe, bt i dnt see the point of ending it widout making a statement. I want the world to see and knw dat someone would go to great lenghts jus to prove a testament to love, my love.

we arrived at dangwa to look 4 a vendor that would give us d best bouquets around 4pm. There were flowers every where. My dream s materializing. D idea dawnd on me aftr seing big fish, wer ewan mcgregor proposed by covering a lawn of daisies to d girl of his dreams. I thought i should do it to win back my lost love. Bt d more i thought abt it d more it bcame clear, Loving means wanting wat makes d other person happy. I hav to let it go. I also realized dat due to d nature of my work i wasnt abl to do anything out of d ordinary to celebrate what we had b4 it turnd sour. I plannd to go out of town for three days bt b4 i was able to execute it. D line was drawn. It had ended. So i thought flowers wud be gud to celebrate life, love, and moving on. It was d only gift i can give. Freedom.

d plan took an unexpectd turn when i learnd dat an early off took place. How can i overlook dat possibility? Thanks to my friends we were able to recruit an ofismates assistance. D new plan was to deliver the flowers to d office that nyt. It was a challenge, getting someone frm d inside to help us. And transporting that much flowers was a feat i failed to calculate. Bt we were able to pull it off. Thanks again to dada, shineth, and igo. We arrived in makati around 8ish. I had to beg the guard to let us in otherwise all efforts wer useless. Aftr d convincing sychronized acts of dada and shie we were finally in frnt of d office. We carefully positioned all d flowers and prepared to leave. Bt b4 we left Shie took my perfume and sprayed her heart away. I ddnt leave a note or anything dat indicatd it was frm me. I knew dat credits myt go to d current boyfriend bt i couldnt careless. For me i have done my part. My goodbye.

Around a year ago i said my goodbye to a love that i held on to 4 so long. Im sori it had to end. Bt all things even beautiful things come to an end. I knw dat and hav acceptd dat. Bt this time let me tel you, happy birthday. Oh, I wanted so much to let u knw things brewing on my mind. Bt it wouldnt help. Things hav changed. Although one thing remains d same, its ur day and i wish u d best that this world can offer...Happy birthday tani!!!

Unplugged: Living

Jus wen i was abt to doze off, a though breezed in. An nteresting reading of d movie matrix, one that i havnt rili considerd. I hav thought dat d movie was purely philosophical. Bt 2nyt i change my mind.

i was txting friends and sending pictures. (of course they were mine. Im a full blown cam whore, suffering frm minor self absoption and acute narcissistic tendencies.) in a way i was keeping tabs wid old friends. I never thought dat dis day wil come. somehow, much to my displeasure, i missed my old work. Wel, nt until i realize later that its mostly my friends. And also d fact i am trying to drive at.

d world is perfect. Bt beneath d façade of a almost ideal society lies a greater rotten reality. Humans are no longer living in freedom and free will rather they are reduced to living energizer. Wer engineerd to supply power for d system dat fascilitates d warm and sunny reality that breaths life and reason to a living
being. Bt its all in d head.

one awakes in dat reality. A reality dat seems ideal and peaceful. One gets accustomed to it and believes it. Bt d sad truth is everything s a lie. *i was abt to feel bad worrying abt sleep, being dat most of my peers and those that ive come to love as friends, wen it dawnd on me. Y should i feel bad abt living? Y should i be downcast by nt being able to buy everything dat i want? Y should i be sad dat i dnt hav money?

true, life would be a lot easier wid money. Bt i havnt been short of dat. Yes, i dnt hav too much to spare let alone bt m surviving. In an ideal world a guy like me should be making big bucks. I have. I used to. Bt wid dat came d need to work like everyone else. Yeah i had money to spend. Bt d money im earning i used to buy l living. I had to make myself feel alive.

my usual past time s to sit at starbucks and watch people. Id spend abt 500 bucks on drinks and pastry. I oftentimes watch a movie or two. In a week id watch 2 or 3 movies. And most of d time id repeat a movie or two more than twice. On weekends, my day offs, id partee all nyt. Id club all d free time i hav. 3thousand was easy money. Other free time was spent doing other things that is necessary to feel alive. My mantra then was bakit, pinagtrabahuan ko naman to eh. (damn! I have evrey ryt to spend, i workd my ass off everynyt)

i was working to live. I was plugd in to d matrix. I was working because i needed to live. And my virtual reality was d money. I can exist bcoz i hav money to spend. Little did i knw m nt. I was trying to buy my own life. I was trying to make myself feel m living. Bt i was nt.

i hav detachd myself frm d matrix and i am happy. I dnt live a life of luxury bt at d least i am living. I can do wat i really want and nt want wat i am doing. I dnt hav to buy myself peace, happiness, and satisfaction. Getting used to it s hard. D real world s far frm d façade everyone else sees. Bt its still real. Like it or not, it is. Yeah, Its hard. bt who said living was easy?

Too soon to tell...

My dad talked to me a few days ago. He said, "son, u must be able to discover ur something." he couldnt hav chosen a better time to say dat. Bcoz admittedly a few weeks back i was mulling on having no real reason 4 living.

i hav a huge weight on my shoulder. I hav written abt it n my past blogs. While i was on d shower earlier it hit me, im too vague. Yeah, i have. I chose to speak in parables as if its a new fad. I realized i hav bcoz im keeping myself frm becoming too vulnerable. Bt d recent realizatn dat i hav lived a careless and reckless life and dat something inevitable would happen jolted me to take action, wah! there i go again...

ive been doin some minor involvement in a youth org lately and reading books. Maybe jus maybe... Ive found my something...

mga kaaway...

Im a loser 4 loving u / Yeah sel, il see u, kiesha, mischka, and if i must, even baldo. / i miss u still / kita kitz tau pagbalik ko dyan... / i dnt think i can see u though / kung meron nga ako nun eh di meron / things are changed dramatically / sel, nakadalawa kana. Ako wala pa... / even if i hope against hope ill be only wasting my time. / sana akin nlang si keisha. / i hope i can have one dat is my own / natatakot ako sa pede kong malaman! / bt i hav to accept d fact that / kailangan kong lakasan loob ko. / i need to 4get everything abt u / kailangang matanggap ko / i need to forget that i was happy / kailangang kayanin / i will / natatakot ako!!! / i might fail again. / pero kailangan. / i must!!!

nuthin more... jus sad.

Its sad when u come to full realizatn dat things u dream and subconsciouly wish 4 wil never come true. Der s nuthing wrong n wishing. Neither s der nuthing wrong wid dreaming. Bt wen dreaming and wishing prevents u frm living, then ur in serious trouble.

i was on my way home. It was morning. I had a hectic nyt and i was tired. Bt d thought of some1 s waiting was keeping me up. I was energized. I took d same route dat i always do 4 d last 9 mos. D fx ride frm reposo to d lrt, and frm there a jeepney ride home. Sometimes i take an fx home bt dis time it was a jeepney. I was almost home. I now walking frm quiapo to our st. I am smiling. I turned around at d silver gate. I am smiling while i took d keys out of my pocket and fit it on d keyhole. I opened d door silently as i crept in. I tiptoed up d stairs and into
my room. Then puff... i woke up.

ive had so many episodes of dat dream. God knws how many times i forced myself into, dreaming, seing what i wanted to. Countless times i daydream and wish d impossible, bt countless times too, i wake myself to reality. In me lies a mechanism that knws wen to stop pretending. I never fully accept d obvious truth bt a part of me hav. A part of me s keeping me frm going on.

i told myself dat its enuf. I hav convinced most of my friends dat ive stopd. I hav in essence. Bt n truth m addicted to it. I may be able to fool many bt d closest of my friends knew. I hav let them n a place wer dey can see past my façade of a rality. They knew. Good thing they're only few. In times like these they would nt scorn me wid "i told u so" bt jus stay quiet wid me staring at nothing. I appreciate them. They kept me safe.

now, im alone. Maybe bcoz i listend to dat stil small voice. I dnt hold grudge bcoz at d most he, dat part of me dat s making d most sense, kept me safe too. Yeah, m far frm everything dat ive love. I hav distanced myself safely frm d reality dat i held for too long. I am alone. Bt nt really all alone. I hav dat inner peace. One i hav lost trying to chase an impossible dream - a fleeting and dying memory.

lets say i lost it. Nt d dream, i lost something of greater value - self respect. I hav thrown so much on d line 4 living dat dream. I may even hav cost my own destructn in violent and careless remedy of d psuedo emptiness dat i had. Bt ive regained perspective. Yes, i may be on a downward slope. Bt even dat means its nt yet d end. There s stil so much to do and so much dat i can do.

its sad to look back and see that things will never be nt bcoz it cant bt bcoz it can. It can happen dat one loses d passion... It can happen dat one can wake up frm a dream... It can happen dat one regains self respect... It can happen dat one can overcome. Its sad when it happens, a realizatn dat rouses u to take action, to stand after a fall, to walk on, and to wake frm a dream and realize dat dreams although sweet and sugarcoated s still a dream...One dat everyone needs to wake frm and live.

Smart GPRS

Define irritated!?! Ive jus finishd an enlightening entry abt my current predicament and i accidentali erased it. Its 14msgs. (i write my entries through my cell.)

I have been using my phone to write my entries since i came back home. Its not as good as my personal pc but its the next best thing. Im happy that even though i dont have dsl connection i can post my entries through smarts gprs. So i have been blogging using yahoomail... Ah, thank God for technology!!! Hurrah!

going back to my recent entry i was talking about an oppurtunity to grow from an experience at work. I made a decision not to pick on her immaturity but become d bigger man. This island is slowly changing me... Interesting...
