comfortFOOD

i really had a wonderful lunch. we had my favorite home-cooked kaldereta and lumpia shang-hai prepared by mama. my sister arrived from a home visit in bicol. of course, mama took the opportunity to prepare something for us here. i was craving for extra rice actually. after lunch, i could not help but think more foods i really miss.

coko cafes corned beef. its just the usual corned beef served at restos, but i guess its the company i have that makes it more special.
bakers plazas toasted siopao. there isnt any store here that sell such. its completely uniquely bicol.
biggs crispy chicken, supreme burger, and baked mashed potato. the chicken just tastes deliciously different. the pure beef that makes up the burger with its very tasteful dressing, and the smell of freshly baked mashed potato topped with crispy bacon bits.
universal bakerys mongo bread and japanese hopia. i dont know, i just really miss the taste, and right now i want to eat it.
cofee and cos tuna setti, pizza rotti, and frenchfries. they are synonimous with mussings, stories, laughter, tears. they symbolize friendship and love. of skies, moon, stars and even strawberry fields.
purple bells pad thai. i remember the pad thai. i dont want to remember the place.
cocina conchitas lechon. its the best lechon ever. beter than those of cebus.
naga gardens lumpia shanghai and eggpie. i can only sigh.

i cant write any longer. suddenly, i felt sad again.
so much about comfort food.
haay.

rainingROSES

i havent visited the church for quite sometime now. i was actually having second thoughts with the invitation to attend the sunday mass again. but something in my heart was telling me to go. so i decided to join my sister in attending the 7.30 pm mass.

i was surprised that the church was filled with so many roses.  white, red, pink, yellow, and even orange roses.  they were all over the place. i felt really light and excited. and then i learned that the relics of St. Therese of the the Child Jesus visited our church, St. Francis of Asissi. there was a short catechesis regarding the life of St. Therese. we were later asked by the priest to close our eyes for a short prayer. i was teary eyed after the prayer.  then later, the commentator mentioned that there will be kissing of the relics, and everyone would be given a rose.

i felt excited upon hearing about the roses to be given to the parishioners.  i dont know why, but i knew i wanted to get one. once the mass was over, people started to line up. i was quite pissed that there were so many people ahead of me in the line.  i was so worried i wont get the rose i wanted.

when it was my turn to kiss the relics, i realized that there were so much roses available.  so many that it was more than enough for everyone.  i was given a pink rose. and i know my heart was smiling.

and then i heard a very beautiful song.. you fill my heart full of sighs, breathless they danced with the sky.. you fill my night full of stars, restless my soul seeks your eyes.. as long as you believe, roses shall rain from the skies..

i went home holding the rose so gently with my hands..
and then, rain started to fall..

nextPLEASE

i was so lazy to pull myself up this morning from bed. looking at the window, i can see a whether so cozy for a much longer and deeper sleep.  if only i can just stay home and be absent for work. 

on the other hand, its Sabado.. and as always, i look forward to it.. so i started fixing up for work, at the same time trying to be positive for my day, and singing i love you Sabado, pati na rin Linggo.. hintay ka lang Jollibee nandyan na ko..

work was still pretty much the same. wala pa rin araw na dumadaan na wala akong lapses sa work ko.. and again, the fear of putting someone elses employment at risk continue to bother me.. everyday lapses.. i wonder if it is taking me so much time to learn things..

but what the heck, its Sabado.. bahala na si batman sa Tuesday.. ill continue my worries next week..

i went home looking forward for my afternoon plans.. im quite excited to see Berdeng Ibon.. i asked him to join me in my afternoon activity.. for a change, i thought that having someone with me around would make things lighter.. after all, its been like being on a silent retreat for the past weeks..

finally, the time has come for my feet to meet the oval again.. join me and my happy feet as we venture to another drift from life..

one-full-round (walking). i told myself that ill spend my energy with running to help keep me away from things that bother me. choosing this took me a lot of readiness, patience, and acceptance of what i have lost, and what i still have with me. warming up helped me prepare in starting another journey.
one-full-round, for the courage to start the quest to be whole again.

two-full-rounds. i have never completed a full run in the oval before.  amazingly, i was able to complete two rounds for my first set.  i dont know exactly where the energy and the drive is coming from. with just the goal to finish two rounds in my mind, i was able to reach my target.
two-full-rounds, for two memories of the past.

three-full-rounds. my legs were starting to be heavy.  i decided to stop and rest for a while.  and after feeling that i am ready for another flight, i set my pace and targeted for a plus-one-round.. my legs started to become more relaxed and i can sense that it is okay for me to continue and trust another round. i completed it and i realized i have improved my stamina.
three-full-rounds, for the third time she believed in magic, her undeclared asset.

four-full-rounds. i was thinking of going home already, but the urge to stay longer was totally inviting. i gave in and try for another set.  i was just targeting three rounds, but i can really feel the push to increase my capacity.  my legs were tired but at the same time, i was really finding comfort in running. heartbeats are getting faster.  i closed my eyes and find solace in my breathing.

four-full-rounds, to leave behind dancing and just conciously choose to run.

one-full-round. i had to slow down to finish the entire routine.  i breathe in tomorrow and breathe out the past. i breathe in my sources of strength and breathe out those that pull me down.  i breathe in my spirit and breathe out theirs. 
one-full-round, to be patient with myself as it is taking me a longer time but positively waiting for my next please..

i was telling Berdeng Ibon that i needed to run, after all its cardio exercise.. after all, it will be good for the heart.. my heart..  : )

oddWAYS

i made a really huge mistake with my work this morning.. so huge that it may have caused sudden unemployment to another.. good thing i have understanding superiors to back me off.. and hopefully, ill be totally saved..

Pusong Matapang told me that it may be odd ways ni Lord para mapansin ako sa workplace.. i got stunned after reading his text.. suddenly, i didnt know what to say.. more so, what to feel..

aaminin kong may tampo ako sa Kanya.. makapal man ang mukha ko, pero talaga, nagtatampo ako.. ok lang naman siguro yun di ba?

Im sorry, i just really dont understand..

genuinelyPROUD

malayo man ako, know that i am truly proud of all of you..
Free Spirit, Brave Heart, Batang Bubuwit, Ibong Pipit, at si Ginintuang Puso..
just enjoy the experience.. meet new friends too..

sasabihin ng iba na competitive mode na naman ako.. di naman sa ganun,
ang lagi ninyo lang tandaan, you were given the opportunity to share yourself, kaya ibuhos din lahat..
if things dont work the way you want it to be, still be thankful that you had the opportunity to try it..

yah, i hope by that time, i will have the courage to see you..
and i hope this time, seeing someone from home would bring me smile rather than tears..
hay..

basta, my best wishes to all of you..
ngayon palang i am celebrating with you na..

sweetSOLITUDE

malakas na naman masyado ang ulan kanina. dala ang aking payong, at kahit naka bistida ako, sumulong ako sa ulan para makauwi na. hindi kagaya ng ibang nakapayong, ako lang ata ang hindi nagmamadali sa aking paglalakad. i was savoring my walk under the rain.. wala akong pakialam sa lakas ng ulan. weird talaga dito, kahit ang lakas ng ulan, sa kabilang dulo ng langit, masisilayan ang sinag ng papalubog ng araw. how weird could that be.. ibang klase talaga ang experiences ko sa heavenly bodies dito..

while walking, i started to feel alone again.. alone but not really very sad (i am in a different level of sadness now).. for a change, i was trying to think of the perks of being alone here.. i was trying to review some of the things i enjoyed doing while in solitude (it is in full effort that i am trying to do this, because as clearwater said.. the little one would want me to be fine and happy as well..) .. let me give you some of the things i did in my new me-world which may come handy to you too...

• aside from eating lunch alone, i walk.. and day dream..
• take opportunities of free movies at shangrila during foreign film festivals (you just have to be patient with the ticket lines)..
• watch free shows at the mall (e.g. korean singers visiting the country kahit di mo naiintindihan kanta nila)...
• once i stayed, watched, and listened to a piano playing on its own.. (the grand pianos displayed sa malls).. the music was so soothing that i wanted to stay and ask someone to dance with me.. :)
• watch that guy at toms world who dances everytime you throw in some coins..
• watch teens who never get tired doing the dance revo..
• find a corner at powerbooks and read the books you want (you can stay there the whole day, and just read)...
• run (brisk walking the past weeks.. running in the comming days).. and breathe.. since most (if not all) people running come alone, you wont be bothered running all by yourself..
• puntahan ang mga food stalls sa mrt stations na mahaba ang pila (malamang masarap ang tinda nila kaya dapat matikman mo rin - like the fried isaw)..
• listen to people singing for free courtesy of the wow magic sing..
• witness a wedding ceremony of someone you dont even know.. 
• watch cos-plays sa mega mall (ienjoy ang mga weird pero creative na mga itsura ng mga characters in their full costumes and make up - they really look so nice).. you can have photo ops as well..
• makiosyoso sa mga competitions sa mall (e.g. the first tamiya race - those little cars were really great)..
• ienjoy ang mga moments na nawawala ka sa area.. kapag nainis ka, give yourself the liberty na mag mura.. :)
• hawakan ang sariling kamay at kausapin ang sarili, tumingala sa langit at piliting ngumiti..
• magbasa at mag sulat lang ng blog kasi wala ka ngang makausap.. :)

malungkot mag isa.. pero nakakasanayan ko na.. ang totoo, nagugustuhan ko na din ito.. sa ngayon kasi, hindi ko pa rin makita sarili ko na bumubuo ng bagong mga relasyon.. tama na muna sa akin ito.. okay na ko sa lagay na to...

runningMYA

remember the movie Forrest Gump when he was being bullied by his friends and Jane told him to run?
.. run Forrest.. run... and so he ran..


my friend Aquaman told me before i left home that whenever i feel down, the best way to do is just run.. he said that the best way to address sudden changes, loneliness, and even pain is to do some running..


i am thinking of doing his advice..
ill run and ill keep running for my loss, my pains and solitude, and even my dreams..
ill run and ill keep running until my heart tells me that it is okay to stop running..

run Mya.. run...

rememberingHOME

i was still in deep sleep this morning when suddenly i felt a tiny hand embracing me.  i noticed it was jm, my sisters little girl.  she laid down beside me and hugged me. it was surprising since its actually our first time to meet.  we werent even introduced yet.

still feeling too sleepy, i just took her hand to signal that it was okay to hug me.  she responded further by filling in the spaces of my fingers with hers. little hand... little fingers..

the feeling all seemed too familiar.. i was having the feelings of two different worlds i used to have.. its been a couple of days already since i managed to flash a genuine smile..

it really felt good.. before she left, she gave me a

kiss on the cheek and a quick hug..

i remember the days...

i can only remember...

sleepingPILLS

maraming nangyari sa ilang araw na nakalipas. may mga dumating at binigay na biglang binawi; may mga nandyan na pero pilit na pinapalayo; may mga kumakatok pero pinag sasarahan ng pinto; at may mga patuloy na nananatili at handang maghintay.

mahirap pa rin sa akin ang bawat araw na dumadaan.  and just when im learning to live my new life, new forms of losing come again.  hindi ko talaga maintindihan. how can life be too unfair? why do i feel that life is being mean to me?

in moments like these, i can only continue gazing at the horizon in front of me.. gaze blankly.. lost in space..

and listen to my playlist..

boats and birds. you still hurt me. rythm of the rain. problem of pain. stupid memory. lullabye.

not like the movies. streets of heaven. my hands are shaking. we feel alone. marshmallow spaceship. the man who cant be moved. sleep on needles.  so this is goodbye. i dont feel it anymore.
i love the rain the most. heartbeats. aliens and rainbows. rain. fields of gold. find my way back home. heaven needs a hero. after afterall. if you would come back home.

if only the music can bring me to a trance...

hope and faith are just like letters randomly put together into something meaningless -

 words only for fairytales.

emptyHOPE

i'm fighting back the tears as he fights for his life.
well, it must be kind of crowded,
on the streets of heaven.
so tell me: what do you need him for?
don't you know one day he'll be your little boy forever.
but right now i need him so much more.
Lord, don't you know he's my angel
you got plenty of your own
lord, i know once you've made up your mind,
there's no use in beggin'.
so if you take him with you today, will you make sure he looks both ways,
and would you hold his hand when he crosses the streets of heaven.
the streets of heaven.

stainedWINGS

our laundry area is quite limitted in terms of space. because of that, we set our schedules to take turns in doing the laundry. mine is during fridays or saturday nights. 

last saturday though, i came home too tired so i decided to do my laundry the following day.  however, my sister suggested na ibabad ko na ang mga lalabhan ko.. and so, i gathered my stuff and put it sa planggana with soap and water..

after taking my lunch the next day, and while watching kiterunner,  i decided to do my laundry.. TOINKS.. holding a newly bought white blouse, i saw the hundred islands of the philippines in purple.. DAMN!! i suddenly remember my laundry 101 lesson in my home economics class.. DOUBLE DAMN!! that was a new blouse i bought last weekend, and i have only used it once.. TRIPLE DAMN! that could have been equal to 4 good meals. QUADRUPLE DAMN! while trying to scrub away the purple stain, a tiny voice in my head was whispering childishly.. didnt i tell you not to wear that purple thing.. did i not tell you it would be a bad idea to wear that purple blouse.. you silly girl.. now what?

while on my way home tonight, walking in the rain, at natapilok na naman, i cannot help but think of that purple stain.. a piece of myself continued to wonder why i forgot to separate the white blouse with the purple blouse.. it could have been a very simple laundry case..

hai.. i just thought,
sometimes, just when you start to learn to do your baby steps, or you start to trust your wings to prepare for your next big flight,
things can just change again.. twists can come like pop ups and greet you with a surprise.. or sometimes, they can come like pinches to your heart and soul..

just when you thought you are starting to bounce back,
life can give you more surprises..

and then you wonder again, you ask again..
what is the meaning of all these..
can heaven just spare me please..

mysticWAITING

wacthing hachiko for the third time..

i remembered Braveheart sharing his thoughts about the movie. Ronnie said that the movie was about loyalty. Braveheart considered it as love and waiting.

borrowing his words, waiting is hoping.. but hoping is not always waiting. hachiko waited.. its not merely hoping because waiting entails more than just hoping..

Braveheart mentioned that he too wants to be like hachiko.. that he learns to also wait and hope.. but more than that,
he also wishes to have someone who could do the same for him..

wait and hope.

wait.

doubleMEANINGS

she had been silent since she entered the office. the lrt ride even brought her to thoughts of the other world. being up the ride seemed not enough to focus on her now-world.  barely there. barely present.

people coming in and out the office failed to divert her thoughts. she was making temporary ids for project employees. holding the ruler with her left and a small cutter in her right, she smoothly slid the blade to cut the patterns.  thoughts were still drifting. names and faces came like flashcards.

its bleeding, she heard a voice. she realized a cut from her thumb.  its bleeding, repeated the voice. i know, she answered (not refering to the wound, but to her heart).

go to the clinic and have it treated added another voice. its nothing, it will heal on its own (she answered, her thoughts were actually about her life). 

but the cut is quite big, it surely is painful they said. it is painful. you can never describe the pain, she ended (they were still refering to the wound, but her answers were intended for something else). 

one older mate added,

malayo yan sa bituka, kaya niya yan.

she looked at her and tried to flash a smile.

opo, maghihilom din po ito (sabay ang isang buntong hininga).

sweetDREAMS

tonight,

i pray

please God

have good dreams

come my way

i want to see the the colors of the night

meeting dawn

ang luha ng bukang liwayway

sa mga dahon ng bulaklak

the mountains

as it welcomes the sun

ang amoy ng sinangag

daing at itlog na maalat

i want to dream of children

with the sound of their giggles and their sweetest smiles

ang tinig ng mga batang

walang sawang magbahagi ng mga kwento nila

dream of tunasetti and rocky road freeze

of long talks and lifes mussings

gusto kong managinip na yakap ang hangin

kasama ang mga buntonghiningang masaya at malalim

the feel of sand touching my feet

sandcastles, shells, beaches, cottages and tong its

ang tunog ng piano at gitara

pati na rin ang tinig ni Musika

of running with the wind

and floating freely with the waves

counting and waiting some more

holding on but also moving on

gusto kong managinip na ipipikit ko ang mata
kasama ang pag asa na darating na siya

of sunshines and daisies, dandelions and rain

of mylight and i smiling like without traces of pain

dreamcatchers up my bedside

i beg thee please please

amazingGRACE

i am starting to have my daily routine. unti-unti na kong nasasanay sa mga dapat kong gawin sa araw-araw. but lately, i realized that i have yet too many things i have to learn and unlearn.

para kay yellowcab:

• dont choose efficiency over service so you wont be reprimanded;
• dont say no i cannot find it even if you already tried looking a zillion times;
• keep your observations to yourself first; then study the crowd;
• dont ride the jeepney thinking they are all going to the same place so that you wont be lost again;

• know what is around you so that you will know from the start that you are just in one place at paikot-ikot ka lang;
• dont ask about people who can make you sad;
• or better yet, dont ask at all;
• or best, do not meet with people from home when you are not ready;
• dont ride the mrt listening to the same music over and over so you wont make people wonder why you are crying;
• bring a book all the time so that you have company during lunch;
• find a way to avoid footbridges so you both wont get too tired;
• read books. and next time, choose the books well;
• pray that next time you get another resume, it wont be a name too familiar (for heavens sake, 2 similar names last week; and 1 this week; how unfair can the day be);
• stop staring across while eating dinner, just eat and enjoy the food;
• continue talking and singing for your light, soon.. things will be a lot better..

i still have a lot of big sighs everyday.. and i still have moments when i feel that a lot of things are so absurd..
Pilyong Querobin said that these are omens..
Unseen Asset said that iba ang hinahanap ng puso at hinahanap ng mata..
I say its not funny at all.. can heaven just spare me with these things... i get it na.. really..

naiisip ko yung blog ni Braveheart about solemate, at pati na din ang soulmates.
paano kaya kung nasa ibang dako ng mundo ang ka pares ng kaluluwa natin?
paano ninyo mahahanap ang isat isa?
kailangan ba talagang magtagpo para masabing kumpleto ang naging buhay mo?

paano kung may isang yellowcab din sa northpole?
kumakain din kaya siyang mag isa lagi pag lunchtime,

bestMOVES

appletheas blog kept me thinking the whole night. the words goodbye and letting go left a big blow in my heart.

goodbye.
is there an easy way to utter the word?
a way where one need not leave a tear for another
is it possible to even speak the word if we are still loving?
or is there even a way to say it in such case..
when do we say goodbye?
when do we know it is time?

letting go.
what do we let go in the first place?
are these the pictures, letters and other stuff collected?
are these the memories kept in the treasure box of the soul?
does it even include the hope that the heart continues to whisper?
when do we let go?
when do we know it is time?
do we let go even if the heart tells us otherwise?

moving on.
how do we really move on?
what does it entail to do such?
how long does it take for a heart to learn to embrace the present?
how far can the soul go for another round?
can we move on if we are still loving?
when do we know we are moving on?
when do we know we are ready to move on?

one can say goodbye, even if she chooses not to let go.
one can say i am letting go, even if moving on will not be an option at all.
one can say i am moving on, wtihout the need of saying goodbye and even letting go.

other people say all three should come together. they say that it is not possible for one soul to be whole again, or for a heart to learn to trust again if one move is missing. 

i say it is possible. it is always possible.
because true love can always say goodbye without not giving up on love.
true love can choose not to let go but at the same time it is moving on.
true love can move on without saying goodbye and letting go.

others might still say that only the martyrs do that. only fools will choose to do that.
i say it is not easy at all. but i will keep saying it is always possible.

howeverWHICHWAY

(lifted from appletheas blog entry 080610)


there is a difference between goodbye and letting go
GOODBYE is I'll see you again when I'm ready to hold your hand and you're ready to hold mine
LETTING GO is I'll miss your hand but I realized it's not mine to hold and will never hold it again.


i asked myself:
in what situations goodbye is the option?
in what circumstances letting go is the solution?

for a

confused mind

broken heart

withered spirit

rejected soul

will there ever be a better option between goodbye and letting go

when hope is an enemy and the closest ally?

(comment ni yellow cab)..

goodbye and letting go..

just like

letting go and moving on..

are actually not the same when we talk about confused minds, broken hearts, withered spirits, and rejected souls..

better option?

right choice?

meron nga ba nun pag dating sa mga nabanggit na kalagayan?

i think there is,

but only through the help of time..

saying goodbye,

choosing to let go,

deciding to move on,

all these should be friends with time..

because it is only through time that

mind will start to clear

heart will start to heal

spirit will start to grow

soul will start to believe

and when we speak of hope

true,

its both an enemy and the closest ally,

still,

it has a big role to play

in making the options

to give way to the solutions

question is,

is the mind open?

is the heart brave enough?

is the spirit willing?

is the soul ready?

again,

only through time..

hindi ko maintindihan ang araw na ito. hindi ko alam kung tama ang naging pasya. mas lalo ko lang atang binukas sarili ko sa kalungkutan.

pakiramdam ko, ang tanga tanga ko. alam mo yung feeling na parang hindi ka natututo sa mga desisyon na tingin mo nagkamali ka? ganun ang sinasabi ng utak ko ngayon.

gusto kong tumakbo ngayon at sumiksik na lang sa isang sulok. yung walang gagambala sa akin at hahayaan akong maging tahimik at malaya sa nararamdaman. yung sulok na handang samahan ka sa kahit anong paraan.

buti na lang may mga natatakbuhan ako sa mga oras na ganito.
yung mga sulok na kahit malayo, ramdam mo na malapit pa din.
mga sulok na pagkukunan ko ng lakas para patuloy na maniwala na darating ang tamang oras para sakin.

rubicsCUBE

how many sides are there in a cube?

if each side would represent a chapter of your life, what would those chapters be?

what colors would constitute your cube?
what would each color mean?

kanina ko pa nilalaro itong rubics cube, kahit kelan talaga hindi ako nakabuo.
hindi ko alam kung sadyang mahina lang ang utak ko para makumpleto ko ang proseso.

no matter how much i tried to figure things out, i have never had the chance to complete it.
i cannot help but associate my life with the cube. i was having the feeling that inspite of holding the cube with gentleness and hope, it remains unfinished. inspite of the many times i tried, i still cannot understand why i dont get it.

but what is really interesting is that after all the giving up of playing with it, i still find myself trying everytime i get to see a rubics cube in front of me. and even if i dont really know if ill be successful in this game, i feel that i will keep on turning the sides.. maybe because of the colors, or maybe, it is also the hope that in time i will have my chance to complete everything; or even just one side of the cube.

go.
pumunta sa malayo at makasama ang dagat.

tumakbo na magaan ang pakiramdam.
yakapin ng buong buo ang ngayon at bukas.

ihahanda ang sarili para mas maging maayos ang lahat.
hayaan ang oras na hilumin ang kahapon.
buuin ang nasirang tiwala at lakas para sa mga bagong pagtaya.
stop.
sa matulin na paglalakad para mas makahinga.
ang hayaan ang araw na binibisita ng lungkot.
patakbuhin ang utak na nagpapaalala ng umpisa at wakas.

kung isang malungkot na tibok ang titingin, makikita nya ang bilis ng pagbabago ng bawat ilaw.
kung isang masayang tibok ang titingin, makikita nya ang bawat pagkakataon na ibinigay sa kanya.

myasELLIPSIS

i would take the stars out of the sky for you

stop the rain from falling if you asked me to.

i'd do anything for you

your wish is my command

i could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand.

words cannot express how much you mean to me.
there must be some other way to make you see.
if it takes my heart and soul
you know I'd pay the price.
everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice.

oh you to me are everything
the sweetest song that I could sing
oh baby
oh baby
to you I guess I'm just a clown
who picks you up each time you're down
oh baby
oh baby

you give me just a taste of love
to build my hopes upon.
you know you've got the power boy
to keep me holding on.
so now you've got the best of me
come on and take the rest of me
oh baby

though you're close to me
we seem so far apart.
maybe given time you'll have a change of heart.
if it takes forever
boy then I'm prepared to wait.
the day you give your love to me won't be a day too late

oh you to me are everything.
the sweetest song that I could sing.
oh baby
oh baby
to you I guess I'm just a clown
who picks you up each time you're down
oh baby
oh baby

you give me just a taste of love
to build my hopes upon.
you know you've got the power boy
to keep me holding on.
