March 27, 2008 at 7:49 pm Posted in Ennui. There are just things words can’t illustrate without the need to do so much explaining. there are things that make one sad, for example, but what is the use of saying, “i’m sad” when there would be just too many questions instead of answers which one needs more of? Or one could say “i’m happy” but what does the sum of one’s happiness amount to in times when there just isn’t enough room in this world for happy things? 8220;where have you been hiding? Sigh if i co...

January 3, 2008 at 1:39 pm Posted in Uncategorized. My mom and i are chumps who, under the pretext of avoiding the noise and the pollution, go to those countdowns on new year’s eve. for the past two years we’ve gone to the (ehem) kapuso countdowns because they’re generally civilized and the fireworks are fantastic. never mind the variety show that precedes it, the fireworks obviously cost something north of millions. I don’t stay out all night. i don’t take care of my body. i don̵...You are commentin...

Everybody needs it, they say, especially on a blue sky. December 20, 2007 at 6:16 pm Posted in Ennui. But an extended holiday? Not my cup of tea. i’ve never been a big fan of long holidays. i can deal with them once in a while, and long weekends are okay. but for prolonged periods of time? Sometimes i like them, sometimes they make me sick. if it is difficult for some people to imagine themselves alone on such an important day like christmas, the opposite is true for me. It’s so weird because i kno...

September 27, 2007 at 2:03 pm Posted in Gratitude. I used to laugh over how they say life begins at a certain age. But it’s really true. At thirty, I have learned to push aside the fear and the uncertainty, and realize that indeed, life begins the moment you decide it’s time. It feels like I’m starting anew. And it is my time. 2 Comments ». Feed for comments on this post. Galing, the title.🙂 can i borrow it for my thirtieth birthday party? 8212; October 4, 2007 #. 8212; October 4, 2007 #.

What makes it work? November 5, 2007 at 7:07 pm Posted in Musings and Epiphanies. I’ve heard enough stories of doubt and fear and anger to finally be able to say that i am thankful that i am not answerable to anybody else but myself. how many couples do i know are in a stable, loving relationship? I asked a friend once — what makes it work? Nobody has ever been able to give me an answer that satisfied me. all i got was mush and cheese. I am out to prove to myself that i have what it takes to do this job,...

I Hope You Dance. June 29, 2009 at 3:53 pm Posted in Uncategorized. I press my sweater closer to my chest and try to ignore the creeping cold on my skin, but it is no use. It is December, and it is Baguio, to unexpect the cold is to disbelieve the obvious. As I watched my friends dance, an indescribable feeling took hold of me. Like something wasn’t right. But it wasn’t such a bad feeling as much as it was unsettling. And it got me to thinking: when everyone else is moving on, how does one keep from bein...

She made my day. November 22, 2007 at 8:08 pm Posted in Musings and Epiphanies. This is the actual transcript of an actual interview with a famous personality whose insipid drivel i am writing up for a glam coffee table book. if you can help me summarize whatever fucking point she’s making here i would give you half of whatever pay i get from this raket, i swear. haha! Or we can be the bridge between the west coast in America and Luzon, manila. Why don’t we talk like that? Ang hirap kumita ng pera! Fill ...

January 30, 2008 at 7:11 pm Posted in Musings and Epiphanies. What’s that saying that goes you can never really get away from your past? I think mclachlan sang about it once, asking if you can “look out the window without your shadow getting in the way”? I’ve come to accept that we should never judge people on the basis of where they are in life, or who they were before we knew them. (there was a time when i didn’t, especially when it came to me). I’ve even seen some people attach MAs to their name...

What i wish for you. January 3, 2008 at 7:06 pm Posted in Friends. To make up for the sucky gifts i am yet to give them i will make wishes for my closest friends instead. hehehe. take them as tokens of growing friendships, gals. some words i say here may hurt but let me assure you it’s only because i want what’s good for you, even if i have to be mean while doing it. In no particular order:. To e, breadth of awareness. To i, discernment to do what is right for herself and not for anything else. You are c...
