From Lessons Learned in Life

So I guess I'll just let go of you at every chance I get to be with you, because who knows, someday you might just gravitate back to me. And if that day comes, then I'll know you really are meant to be in my life, and I'll never let you go again. 

From someone else's post

I found this on a friend's wall. It made sense. It's like it was dug out of the author's mind just so someone could post it on Facebook and appeal to my emotions. 

The day the world had spun faster

I remember waking up at 4:20pm from an afternoon nap last Saturday.

I remembered taking a 15minute power nap on a couch in that baranggay hall where we stayed at before getting on a pumpboat to Lakawon. I also remember dozing off on the bus.

But I was only able to sleep 'real' sleep after about 40 hours, that was around seven or eight o'clock this morning.

I woke up at the sound of my phone ringing, I thought I just had a nightmare. When I picked up however, I heard a relative's voice, asking about my nightmare. And it dawned on me that it wasn't a nightmare after all, the world did spin faster, but I must have been left out as it spun around.

I can't feel myself right now.

Two questions

Typhoon Yolanda finally left the Country.

Two nights ago, I tried to will myself to sleep as she was ravaging parts of Eastern Visayas, but then I was confronted by two questions. 

And now I could only sigh as I remember them, sigh as I remember how, despite the breadth of my imagination, I left them unanswered. 

But tonight, as I will myself to sleep again, a feat which I find so close to impossible every night, they come knocking on the doors of my thoughts once again. Tired of lurking in the shadows at the back of my mind, they knock, demanding an answer. 

"Had it been the end of the world that night, what would have been the last thing you felt? What would be the last truth you'd recognize in your head, is it something your heart wouldn't deny?"

Those two questions are right outside the doors of my thoughts tonight, but I'm an inhospitable host.... I shall let them hang around for a while longer. 

Your voice in my head

It's a quarter before five in the morning and I'm still awake.

The night is still, not a sound comes from outside. No barking of the dogs, no vehicles passing by... I can't hear even the rustle of the tree leaves. It's like the calm before the storm (and it really is, as a matter of fact, Typhoon Yolanda is bound to strike by morning today).

But in my head, I hear your voice, it's like you're right here with me, talking to me.

I love it and yet I don't like it.

Remember me when it's crescent moon

It's crescent moon tonight, it's during nights like this that I feel like lying on a mountain top somewhere and just watch the evening sky.

I accompanied a friend to an office late this afternoon and when we went out, it was already dark. And just as I looked up into the sky, this was how the moon looked like..

Of course I've only taken this photo from the internet but, how many moons does the earth have anyway? 

This is the closest to how it looked like and just like always, I fell in love with it. 

And in the few seconds that I've contented myself gazing at it, I thought... I wished... that you remember me, when it's crescent moon. 

It took a while

It took a while before she finally admitted it to herself.
It took her
                 a
                    w
                       h
                          i
                            l
                              e

to face the fact that she's in love with the guy who told her about the stars.
