Ironic Reunion

Last Wednesday, the MYSTICAL FIVE, together with Ed and Bebang, went to Pampanga for the last night of the wake and the burial the next day... My friends and I talked about how odd life's jokes are. DRY HUMOR. Kasi kami, we havent seen each other in ages, and the only time we finally found time to be together now that we have to see Peter and Paul go. Ironic and sad.

The twin's untimely death, though shocking and unexpected, paved the way for a much needed reunion. It gave life to the memories of our college years that we temporarily have almost forgotten. Suddenly, it's like it was only yesterday when we were struggling Iskolars ng Bayan, looking at a life full of promise and a string of problems [some of 'em really petty].

It's another thing reason for me to say thank you to Peter and Paul. They made us realize how important it is to appreciate our lives, AT PRESENT... While we still have time. There's no room for hangups. We should be happy now, with hope of being happier in the future.

Peter and Paul, 'til our next gimmick.

Peter and Paul were icons back in college, women were lured by their silent charm and men were envious of their being oblivious to the looks of admiration being thrown at them.

But above all, Peter and Paul were each other's strength.

They were special. More than special in fact.

I still can't believe that they're gone... it's so surreal. I can still imagine them smiling, playing badminton, driving and doing everything together with that contentment that you rarely see in the eyes of people our age. They loved each other more than brothers, more than twins, even more than their own lives.

I feel blessed to have known them and to have experienced the ray of sunshine that they give when they're around.

I will not cry nor will I say goodbye.

Peter and Paul, 'til our next gimmick.

Peter and Paul Mendoza, two of my memorable, endearing and unique friends in college, passed away last night in a car accident on their way home. The wake's in their house in Pampanga. My condolences to their loved ones and to the people who are weeping for the void that they have momentarily left us. I am not worried, I know we shall hangout again...

Just So You Guys Know.

Looking at my chipped nail polish makes me wonder...
how on earth did I survive 21 years of insanity?

If I Die…

I want my wake to be 5 days.

Day 2 - Poetry Reading

The Elevator Groupie

We are all made to believe that we should be headed in the same direction, inside a seemingly restrictive box that gives us free will a...
