We met up with Sir Vanni this afternoon to consult. Well, i think my recit grades are decent enough. Now i have to make sure that i'll get at least a 75 in the final exam if i wanna continue my being an Ateneo Law Student.
I got to find two really cute friends tonight in Starbucks. Their names are Grace and Sara... they're both chinese. Grace is 5 years old and Sara is 2 years old. I'm glad that i got to spend time with them, it's nice to be surrounded by so much innocence and optimism. T'was like therapy for me. Grace gave me a lecture on how to count in chinese and she instructed me to color the shapes that she drew. Sara is an adorable girl. She's only two but i think she's really smart. Hay. I love kids talaga. Sabi nga ni Miguel, "Magaling ka pala sa mga bata." Sa tingin ko nase-sense ng mga bata un mga kalungkutan ko. It's God's way of saying, "Hold on my child, i'm just here if you need Me." While i was observing them from afar, i got to write another "pseudo-poem". Ito nanaman ako, kinalimutan nanaman ang pag-aaral.
How do you capture innocence?
Through a stroke of color on paper.
How do you capture innocence?
through a helpless cry of a sweet child.
How do you capture innocence?
Through the eyes of an oblivious kid at work.
How do you capture innocence?
Through a baby's incoherent giggle.
How do you capture innocence?
Why would you want to capture something that's beautifuly free?

The Purple Poem
I feel sad for my friend. We got to interact once tonight and he managed to let me know that he feels bad about a certain project that he had to submit in school. He feels like he didnt do well. I was askin him, "Bakit kasi di mo ginalingan?" then i had to stop. I cannot believe it came out of me, i felt like i was asking myself. I will not forget what he said, "Pupunta na lang ako sa isang isla tapos magpapakamatay na lang ako." It's such a sad statement. I didnt get the chance to talk to him about it but it bothered me the whole night. So i had to text him.
"Shemps di ko 'to nasabi sayo kanina nung sinabi mo na pakiramdam mo babagsak ka. Pakiramdam ko din babagsak ako pero if there's one thing that's keeping me from giving up, it's the fact that a lot of people believe in me. If it's worth anything, i want you to know that i believe in you. I know you'll do just fine. Nyt."
Natutuwa ako for Mel. Habang nagmomotmot kami kanina dahil sa Persons bigla nya sinabi, "Ok lang, may love life naman ako eh." Yun na. Im not even sure if i still have a life. Damn.
Innocence -- free...beautiful!!
