PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE

MY [UN]OFFICIAL TAROT CARD READING:
*Those in parentheses are my comments and possible interpretation*

"The answer to your questions lie in the past."

PAST: Meron slow but sure increase in power and responsibility. [Sa tingin ko SC ito]. May logical choice to make. ANswerable by listing the PROs and CONs [SC parin, kung tatakbo ba o hindi]. There's a guy who is creative, charming, emotional but moody. Seloso and unpredictable. [Nalilito ako kung si Tinkerbell ba o si Lost Boy kasi sabi ng aking "reader", highly-sexed daw sya... So, malamang si Lostboy.]

PRESENT: Something is coming to an end it's painful and difficult and you're resisting it. [Well, i think ito un Tinkerbell-Me or Latest-Me] Meron major change ahead. [Finding a better flame?] Tapos emotional confusion, depression, desperation dahil sa failed relationship. [My perfect description of the FINALS season! Emotional confusion kasi nga si Better Flame, pakipot!] Then, masyado ka daw tied to the past. Or a former lover will be back. [Definitely Tinkerbell] Pwedeng maging bridge to a new one. [Definitely, my BETTER FLAME na pakipot!]

FUTURE: Lots of parties and celebrations. You should make the most out of it. [Kasi naman graduate na un ibang tao at malamang habang nagre-review sila for thebar magyayaya sila uminom gabi-gabi!] Pero was maging selfish and materialistic at wag magpaka-busy maghang on sa kung ano meron ka dahil you might miss an opportunity. Kailangan mag-STOP and THINK. Next GUY is a person of authority or is dominating. BUSINESSMAN. Not emotional. Parang stone. [NEXT GUY pa lang na hula ok na ako e. I love being dominated. Businessman? Sabi nga ni Toi, taga-MBA! haha]

I AM STRONGER THAN ABSTINENCE

Baka lang kasi makalimutan ko ito in the future.

TAGUAN

Ako ang naturo sa'yo na mawala.
Kasama ng pag-asa na sabay nating
tataguan ang mapangahas na mundo.
Kasabay ng pagkukubli ay ang liwanag
na magpapatunay ng koneksyon na
matagal din nating isinawalang-bahala.

Ako ang nagturo sa'yo na mawala.
Kasabay ng pag-asa na sabay tayong
tatahak sa landas ng kawalan. At ngayon
hinahanap kita. Katulad ng paghahanap
na walang patutunguhan ito'y matatapos.

Ako ang nagturo sa'yo na mawala.
Kasabay ng pag-asa na sabay
ngingiti ang ating mga labi at papatak
ang luha na bunga ng kaligayahan.

Ako ang nagturo sa'yo na mawala.
Kasabay ng pag-asa na
mahahanap mo ako sa kawalan.

Ako ang nagturo sa'yo na mawala.
Kasabay.

Ako sa'yo.

Ako.

You Leaned...

... and I leaned back.
But that was it.
I wished that it is you.
The whole that I am looking for.
But you threw up and what little
romance that was left got drained.
All that's left are jokes, lines
that are half-meant.

That's what we are and what we will be.
We're half-meants.
Never whole.
Not even close.

...

I don't get to look at you anymore.
We talk and we laugh and we drink
but we don't see each other.
Unlike before when we would both
look at emptiness and we'll understand
the things that are not said.
Unlike before when we would stare at
the smoke in front of us and smile
knowing that it is to each other that
we belong.

Now, we touch and we hug and we kiss...
But it's not the same.
Will never be the same.

Sometimes it hurts...

... but it's okay to know that I'm not the only one hurting.
This is not the time to be altruistic. Sometimes, you have to find happiness in other people's misery to realize how blessed you are.

SO much for Holy Week reflections.

Then this happened...

... and I am reminded.

I look back and I cringe.
Knowing that it did happen
and wishing that it didn't.
After all, it is hell.
It didn't even reach heaven.
Purgatory was as close
as this ill-fated story
can ever get.
It's not about knowing
anymore but of feeling
and forgiving.
It's about being okay
and believing that it had
to be that way.

Then it happened...
...and I am reminded.

Behold the blinded dance
of three awkward hearts.

YAY News

=) I won and I am officially Secretary General of ALS for 2008. [assuming that no recount and all that jazz will occur in the future]


=) According to my chinese horoscope, there is a possibility of meeting the love of my life on March, May, August and September. March has already started... Therefore.





=) I am crushing on someone in the law school but I don't know what his name is and I don't know which year he is in. The thing is, we've been talking and it's so hard to ask for his name especially after we've already exchanged views. haha.





=) I think 2008 is really going to be an exciting year. This is so late a prediction but I feel it. I SO FEEL it.





=) Last Saturday, I was one of those privileged few who watched Bb Pilipinas LIVE. Yes, it was soooo worth it because the Q&A portion was the best. Proof? The girl who won the Miss World title has a video of her answer in YOU TUBE and as of yesterday, it got 200 thousand views and 400+ comments. I pity her especially because she said that she was "CONFIDENT." At least she, in her own words, "CAME FROM THE TAF TEN" [THe author would like to believe that she meant TOUGH TEN only to make everything logical]





Eunice's answer to the 5 things that make you smile question.





1] Highlighters because they bring out the color in my dull law school life.


2] The fact that I am [assuming that i was there] talking to Paolo Bediones and the judges in front of everyone in Araneta in my SWIMSUIT.


3] Balls, because I looove playing with them.


4] THe people who support me every single time.


5] The possibility of winning one of the Bb Pilipinas titles.





Pwede na ba? Oh well..





=) I watched Across the Universe yesterday with the HR family because I am and have always been an adopted HR family member from the start. I must say that Across the Universe is one if not the most powerful and SOLID films that I have ever watched. I hope everyone I know gets to watch it because it's something that I wouldn't want anyone to miss. Even my parents.





Who would've thought that STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER is a metaphor for bleeding hearts and the blood that's shed everytime there's a war? Really, the Beatles and everyone behind Across the Universe is a genius.





I just don't like the girl who played Lucy, well, all the girls that I watched the film with hated her. We all claim that it's because she's too perfect and that her voice doesn't fit in the picture. BUT PERSONALLY, I THINK IT'S THE BITCH FACTOR. She got JUDE!!! AND JUDE MANAGED TO MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE FROM THE MOMENT I SAW HIM IN THAT FIRST SCENE. My heart was literally aching when I saw Jude and Lucy kiss the first time.





Max became hotter than Jude right after the war. That's a personal opinion. He's hot from the start but after he's been scarred by his being a soldier, man... it was the end of the competition between Jude and him in my heart.





Of course, who will forget Prudence? Prudence that fleeting one who shocked almost everyone when it was revealed that she's a lesbian. For a second there I thought that Max and Jude might end up gay. Prudence is such a rich character that i think, she's my favorite.





=) After our Across the Universe gimmick, we went ahead and crashed Vida's Birthday Party in Globil. HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIDA. It was a rocking party! The food was el delicioso and the booze was overflowing. PLUS THERE'S A VIDEOKE THINGIE. Patring and I had the grandest of times. MRD and NYOY managed to sexually harass me but it was all good fun. I can't say that it was CLEAN but it was definitely fun.





ALL IN ALL, everything that has happened further convinced me that 2008 is going to be my year.





Wish me and Ryan QUan goodluck as we battle it out in the coolest category this Sunday at Lex Commones.... [drumroll please!] the QUIZ BEE.





I shall end with a line that was uttered by Jude in Across the Universe...


"It's not WHAT YOU DO but it's HOW YOU DO IT."





Solid! Let it be guys. Ciao.

SALAMAT

... sa lahat.

CONGRATS SALSA, FORTE at CHOIR.

After What Seemed Like Forever...

... Eunice officially is crushing on someone again.

And she SCORED, big time. Or so she thinks.

But she will still be in Starbucks on Valentine's Day because their class petitioned to move the Law and Eco Midterms on the 15th...

Still, nothing can rain on her parade today. Not even the fact that she's not watching the Rockestra tonight at the UP Fair.

At present, she believes that she's on her way to alcoholism. But she continues to drink anyway.
Because it defeats the purpose of calling herself an alcoholic if she stops now.

She feels compelled to do a lot of things and is liking it. Just because being bullied into something is new to her.

She misses a lot of people but is glad to be able to meet a lot of new ones.

She got her Torts and Labor 1 grades and she can officially say that she's on her way to being a senior next sem.

She found out last night that someone got invited to ACCRA, so she made Ona promise to come up with a new law firm and name it OKRA.

She's happy now. Too happy that it worries her.

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...
