Meant to Be Broken

Friend: Di ako sanay na ganyan ka, it's been more than a month. Nun sinabi ko na magpahinga ka, di naman ganito katagal... lalayo na nga ako sa'yo, nahahawa ka na sa akin.
In fairness, it's been more than a month since *that thing that should not be mentioned*. Ces said something last night about how I am able to survive more than a month of having no one to rave about, of not having any "love interest" by thinking of how close I am to being a lawyer [yes!]. It may be true, I'm so close to reaching my goals that my priorities might've slightly changed. It's like I can almost taste victory and I couldn't care less about other things. But it's not true that I couldn't care less, in fact I care. It still bugs me, love and lack thereof. It's always been one of the most favorite topics that me and my "girlfriends" have every time we succumbed to our yearnings for yosi breaks in Starbucks. I still care and I can still feel that I long for something, not a specific someone but a very big something. It's weird really, not having anyone that I can feel kilig about, i have pseudo-crushes and MCIT objects but they're not real. They're not "actionable documents", they're not even qualified as "panawid-gutom".

*That thing that should not be mentioned* was so promising that I forgot to have a contingency plan. Heck, I don't even know what hit him, or me or both of us that we just stopped, he just stopped. But it isn't really about *that thing that should not be mentioned* per se, it's about seeing other people and silently saying that "love works for them". These past few days, a character from Neverland has reemerged, i can't say that we're back to where we were, simply because I CAN'T GO BACK THERE anymore, but I couldn't help but be reminded that what we had was promising, in fact more than promising than my most recent misadventure... *That thing that should not be mentioned*... I arrived at yet another conclusion, another "EUNICISM" if I may call it,

Promising things, just like promises, are meant to be broken too.

I promised myself that I won't whine about *that thing that shouldn't be mentioned*, I even promised myself that I won't think about Neverland again, but amidst all the feeling of loneliness, frustration and longing, I guess all i have are memories. Good ones perhaps that are more appropriately treasured than forgotten.

Promising things are meant to be broken too. Eunicism... Cynicism.

Delayed Reaction

Yay! The SEND OFFS was great. SALSA nailed it!

To SALSA, thank you for dancing with me... i'm honored. It was one helluvan experience. It was worth the "pain".Na-stretch na lahat ng mas-stretch. Rimo, I'm glad you "came". Quanny, thank you for not making me "fall" dahil MCIT. To my crush, GO FOR THE GOLD! Sam, i'm glad you "came" too. Ate Ceia, that's why we're friends... we're both very HOT. To the PURPLE GIRLS, woohoo atta girls.. To batchies, [Diale, ito na un special mention mo], salamat sa pagiging stage moms. Thanks to everyone who cheered for and supported Salsa. Nawa'y maulit muli ito.

It's Been Good

Haven't blogged in a while, haven't seen a lot of people who used to be parts of my daily routine.

I guess things are really changing and even if we do want everything to go back to how they were, it can't. It must not.

It's kinda sad but not in an agony-inducing kind of way, it's more like bittersweet sad.

Things are happening so fast lately, there's not much time left to look back, to stop and analyze what transpired in the past. It's better that way really, I fear silence and solitude these days. I am scared of myself because I know that with myself alone I have to face the seemingly forgotten remnants of what could be's and I shouldn't have's.

It's been good.

I hope it's gonna be better.

--------------------

Playful moments, swan-like stance
Dip me and catch me,
Let me fall if you get the chance.
I sway my hips as you walk away,
Did you really think it was all play?
You are reminiscent of a hesitant dance
One moment close, a million moments far.
I stomp and I turn, undecided as I burn,
My heart wanted to beat faster
but to say no was the answer.
The curtains closed, the lights are dim
I took my final bow
It was the end of an unfinished dream.

Bakit ba?

Ok naman sana e.
Kaw lang magulo.
Wag ka magulo,
nagco-concentrate ako.

I want to be still.
Not with you.
I just don't want you
sweeping me off
my feet...
for the nth time.

I don't want
you to hurt me
again...

We Didn't Have To

We were both guilty.
In that split of a second, we almost met.
Wait, we did meet.
But you never knew me.
I thought I knew you.
Guess I don't.
You didn't have to look away.
I wouldn't have noticed you if you didn't.
But you did.
We could've just met each other's gaze and smiled.
We didn't.
We tried to look away.
Not at the exact moment,
it was timely enough
to make things awkward
and funny
and painful
and silly
and gloomy
and confusing.
You didn't have to do that.
I didn't have to do that.
But we did.
It sucks.

Because I watched Before Sunrise last night...

Daydream delusion,
limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I’m a delusion angel
I’m a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don’t want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Lodged in life like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry youYou’ll carry me
That’s how it could be

Don’t you know me?

Don’t you know me by now?
