Silence

"All I can hear in the silence that remains are the words I couldn't say" -- Leighton Meester

"Don't let the silence do the talking." -- Alexandra Burke

:) Wala lang.

I want to believe

I don't own the rights to this photo.

Yup. I miss X-Files, and Mulder and Scully.









The truth is out there.

Begin as you mean to go on

Now, if I could only figure out how I want to go on, I could begin.

Meh.

Or next week

Bwahahaha!

Weekend clarity

Ok, so admittedly, I have been a little depressed the past few weeks.

Some of it could be attributed to the weather. A lot could be due to a general feeling of dissatisfaction with a few of my friends. I've always been easily affected by my friends. And while I do try to carry my own sunshine and most people admire my positive attitude, I do get depressed.

Anyway, I think my mom noticed so she piled on errands so my weekend at home was busy spent running errands for my parents and my sister. All this kept me from dwelling.

I ran in the rain and skipped through puddles.

The times I was free, I slept a lot. I ate ice cream. And Lindt Lindor -- this always makes me feel better.  Anyway, I feel much better now. Just a bit down but no longer depressed.


Tomorrow, August begins. Hopefully, I can shake off the last bits of depression.

But how will I know?

"Kapag Ako ang Naging BF Mo" by: Alvin P. Alava

Kapag Ako ang Naging BF Mo
By: Alvin P. Alava

Kapag ako ang naging BF mo,
do not expect na to show my thoughtfulness,
ay bibigyan kitang lagi ng bulaklak
na nabibili sa Florissimo at Linea Fiori.*
Because, for me, wala nang mas romantic pa
kaysa du'n sa rose na personal kong pinitas
mula sa bakuran ng aking masungit na landlady.
Hindi ko rin ugali ang magregalo ng imported chocolates.
Kasi, not everytime ay magiging sweet ang ating love affair.
Though I'm not the type of guy na nanggugulpe ng syota,
it is not an assurance na sa piling ko'y never kang iiyak.
Kung iniilusyon mong mag-dinner sa Chinois at sa La Tasca,*
e, sorry...mas type kong isama ka du'n sa amin
para ipagluto ka ng favorite mong carne rellenada.
Dahil madalas kang ipasyal ng ex-BF mo
du'n sa Greenhills, Shangri-La at Subic,**
ma-take mo naman kaya ang maglibot sa National Museum,
o kaya'y manood ng stage play sa Fort Santiago?
Okay din kaya sa'yo kung isama kitang mag-rally sa Senate,
mag-social-work sa Payatas at mag-tree planting sa Banahaw?
Kung without compromise ay tatanggapin mo ako sa piling mo...

Buti Pa

Buti Pa
(No author, this one seems to be popular poem with a lot of variations)


Buti pa...
ang exam, sinasagot, yung ibang tao hindi
ang calendar, may date, yung ibang tao wala
ang sugat, inaalagaan, yung ibang tao hindi
ang baso, dinadampian ng labi, yun ibang tao hindi
ang unan, katabi't kayakap sa gabi, yun ibang tao hindi
ang notebook, sinusulatan, yung ibang tao hindi
ang hinihinga, hinahabol, yung ibang tao hindi
ang parents, hinahalikan, sana ako rin

Buti pa...
ang lesson, inuunawaan, yung ibang tao hindi
ang kamalian, pinapansin, yung ibang tao hindi
ang panyo, iniiyakan, yung ibang tao hindi
ang Hershey's, may Hugs and Kisses, yung ibang tao wala
ang awit at tugtog, magkasama, sana tayo rin

Buti pa...
ang ulap, tinitingala, yung ibang tao hindi
ang phone, hine-hello, yung ibang tao hindi
ang aksidente, pinagkakaguluhan, magpaaksidente kaya ako?
ang radio, pinakikinggan, yung ibang tao hindi
ang lungs, malapit sa puso, yun ibang tao hindi
ang typewriter, nata-type-an, yung ibang tao hindi
ang kotse, mahal, sana ako rin

Buti pa...
ang probabilities, may chance, yung ibang tao wala
ang patay, dinadalaw, yung ibang tao hindi
ang AIDS, nababalita, yung ibang tao hindi
ang problema, iniisip, 'di bale iniisip naman kita

Buti pa...
ang film, nadedevelop, yung ibang tao hindi
ang tindera, nagpapatawad, yung ibang tao hindi
ang liham, nagmamahal, yung ibang tao hindi
ang alaala, binabalikan, yung ibang tao hindi
ang d'yaryo, pinaniniwalaan, yung ibang tao hindi
at buti pa ang tulang ito, pinapansin,
yung gumawa, hindi.

"Sulyap, Titig...Sana" by Ciel Del Mundo

Sulyap, Titig...Sana
By: Ciel Del Mundo

hinihintay-hintay, inaasam-asam
nililinga-linga ang bawat magdaan
kunwa'y nag-iisip habang nag-aabang
pakwento-kwento nang walang katuturan
minsa'y pangisi-ngisi, patayu-tayo
hihinga ng malalim, paubo-ubo
titingin sa malayo, mapapanguso
nakakainip, ayoko ng ganito
biglang mapapalunok, mapapanganga
magkukunwari, tila walang nakita
lilingon sa iba, pangiti-ngiti na
"and'yan na pala s'ya".

tatahitahimik na, magseseryoso
kulang sa salita, oo lang nang oo
tatango-tango, matipid na sa kwento
ayaw magbiro, akala mo'y totoo
walang kakurapkurap, nakikiramdam
kakabakaba, puno ng agam-agam
namumula-mula, parang nilalanggam
lihim ang paghanga, pasulyap-sulyap lang
ingat na ingat, ayaw magpahalata
iniiwas-iwasan mata'y magtama
sa pagtingin-tingin biglang natulala
"ay! nahuli yata".

bumaling sa katabi, tumawa-tawa
bumulong-bulong, nakipagtsika-tsika
maya-maya'y yumuko, kumanta-kanta
kunwa'y walang nangyari, patay-malisya
muling sumulyap, ulo'y umikot-ikot
'di inaasahang mata'y mag-aabot
titig na titig pa, sadyang nakalimot
kinilig-kilig na, hanggang sa manlabot
kagat-kagat ang labi ng matauhan
hiyang-hiya, putlang-putla, naiilang
pigil na pigil ang tuwang nararamdaman
"haaay...nagkatitigan."

Pathetic

If you really wanted to talk to me, you would. When I really want to talk to you, I do.

There's really nothing wrong here. Except that my ego can't take the results of the recent statistical survey conducted last month.

It appears that I want to talk to you more than you want to talk to me.
