Huling Sayaw

Ito na ang ating huling sandali - malapit nang mag-isang taon simula noong napaluha ako nang marinig ang unang pangungusap ng kantang ito na inawit ng Kamikazee habang ako’y nagpapaayos sa sasapit na oras. Ito na. Ito na talaga ang ating huling sandali. Ang huling pagkakataon na sasabak sa isang matinding laban kasama ang mga taong kapiling ko sa higit na limang taon. Hindi na tayo magkakamali – at nandito na nga tayo sa oras na ating pinaghandaan, ang oras na ating inabangan ang pagsapit, ngunit hindi hinihiling na matapos. Huling sayaw na natin. Huling laban na natin bago pa man magkahiwa-hiwalay ng landas. Junior’s Promenade na. Huling pagkakataon na din ito upang maisabuhay ang dangal na dala ng pangalan ng pangkat na Grade 10 – Excellence . Kahusayan. Hindi na dapat magkamali sa bawat paglapat ng mga kamay, sa pagtadyak ng mga paa, sa pagpilantik ng mga daliri, at sa pag-indak ng mga katawan. Kahusayan . Maipamamalas ba natin ito? Maisasabuhay ba natin ito? Kasi wala

Do You Believe In Love?

They asked me, "Do you believe in love?" I paused for a moment. Suddenly, I found myself thinking of you, thinking of how I learned to love, thinking of how I used to love you. I responded, "Yes. I used to." Yes, I used to believe in love. I believe that it is powerful, that it is mysterious. I believe that it works on the most unexpected ways, sometimes even the impossible. Then they told me, "Is it because of your heartbreaks?" I stopped and this time, for a long moment. Again, I found myself thinking of you, thinking of how you made me love you, thinking of how you used to love me too. I replied, "Will you ask me the first question again?" Because this time, I will answer differently. I found myself still believing in love. Still believing in love despite of the fact that you have already left me, despite of all the pain that you have inflicted on me, despite of all the times that you made my he

BLOGVENTURE # 1

Here’s to a new start for 2017! I decided to write something about every adventure I will have for this year, whether it may be a good or an unpleasant one. Last week, I had my first ever sleepover with my friends at a hotel and resort called Canyon Woods which is located in Laurel, Batangas. It wasn’t actually a nice travel going there since the original road where you could pass through is under construction. But I think after the main road is done, the travel time would be shorter and the trip would be lighter. Arriving at the resort, the staff were very accommodating but they seem to lack some information regarding their offered services for their guests. But overall, they have provided a pleasant service. I would actually rate them 8 out of 10. Their amenities are good though there are still a lot of rooms for improvement. They have an indoor and outdoor pools which are both well-maintained. Their small, infinity-shaped Jacuzzi was very soothing and relaxing. The rooms

Thnksfrthmmrs, Junior High School!

I can still remember clearly how my first day in Junior High School turned out. I was so excited and did not felt nervous at all, like why would I feel nervous if my classmates from elementary are still my classmates in my first year in Junior High. I was also too excited that day because of the stories I have heard from the experiences of my older siblings and cousins, it will be fun and memorable they said. And indeed, it was. I started my Junior High School with my ever favorite teacher, specifically English Teacher as my class adviser. For me, she was one of the sweetest and most thoughtful teacher I’ve ever had. She was able to turn into different persona just for our sake. During my seventh grade, I thought that my Junior High School year will be as easy as 123 and ABC. I remember my older sister telling me that I should enjoy my junior high school years since it can never happen again. And I followed her advice, well I guess I took it too far, that I kind of slacked off wi

Letter of Separation for 2016

Dear 2016, Hey there! You know what, I had a rough yet exciting adventure with you. As a cliché line says: It was like a rollercoaster ride with you. Though full of ups and downs, it was still an unforgettable experience. A lot of people say that you suck , which is actually undeniable but I think it is just because that they weren’t able to see the good side of you. They didn’t know that you had a lot of great stuff to offer. A lot of people also left when you came along. As a famous graduation speech line says: To begin with something you, you must sacrifice something old . Fate must have decided that a plenty will leave my side so that a bunch of life-changing people will come along in exchange. It was also when you came when controversies became more rampant. Extrajudicial killings, death of famous people, Presidential Elections, Feminism and LGBTQ+ issues are just some of it. With all these bad news broadcasted every night, I don’t think I’m the only who is tired

Paano

Paano kung iwan mo ulit ako kagaya ng biglaan mong paglisan noon sa tabi ko? Kasi ako, lumisan man ako ay isasama kita dahil ang gusto ko ay kasabay kita sa pagtahak at pagsuong sa kung saan man ako pupunta. Hindi kita iiwan, hindi ako lilisan, kasi alam ko ang pakiramdam nang may lumiban, na wala man lang paalam. Paano kung pumili ka na naman ng iba at iwan muli ako sa ere? Kasi ako, ikaw at ikaw pa din ang pipiliin ko kahit ano pa man ang mangyari. Handa akong tanggapin ka kahit ilang beses mo pa akong hindi isama sa mga plano mo. Handa akong tanggapin ka kahit ilang beses mo pa akong iwanan sa isang lugar na walang katiyakan, sa isang lugar na tanging ikaw at ako lang ang nakakaalam, sa isang lugar na tila ako na lamang ang nakakaalam. Paano kung sabihin ko na di ako titigil na magmahal at umasa sa iyo, mapapatawad mo kaya ako? Kasi ako, hinding-hindi ako magsasawang magpatawad sayo. Hinding-hindi ako magsasawang umasa na magbabago ka pa, na babalikan mo

Sa Aking Hardin

Kay tagal na noong huling nabuhay ang aking hardin. Huminto na ang pamumukadkad ng mga bulaklak dito. Wala na itong kulay, Wala na itong buhay. Ngunit dumating ang mga paru-paro, Kasabay nito ang napakaraming mga pagbabago. Ang mga bulaklak sa aking hardin ay muling namukadkad. Nagkaroon ng kulay. Nanumbalik ang buhay. Nagdulot ito ng malaking ngiti sa aking labi. Kaya sa hardin, ako’y madalas nang nanatili. Pero sabi nga nila, ang pagbabago lamang ang tanging permanente sa mundo. Ang inakala kong kasiyahan na mananatili, ay lumisan na sa aking tabi. Napalitan ang mga paru-paro ng mga uod. Uod na siyang kumain sa mga magagandang bulaklak. Sa mga makukulay at nagbibigay-buhay na mga alaala. Hindi ako nawalan ng pag-asa na muli pang mabubuhay ang aking hardin. Dumating naman ang mga bubuyog. Sa patuloy na pagtitiwala na maibabalik pa ang lahat sa dati, Ang mga bubuyog na ito ay siyang araw-araw na tumutusok sa akin. Nagbibigay man ng buhay a
