Maikling Side Trip
"Wala na lang akong magawa kundi mapangiti kapag nakikita ka."
because life's like chocolate cake: it's only either very sweet or bittersweet
Humayo ka't magpakasaya. Yung tipong kala mo wala nang bukas. Dahil, sa totoo lang, malapit na rin naman talaga maubusan ng bukas. Kaya dapat habang may panahon pa, sulitin mo na. Di laging may papasok sa pinto na magpapasilay ng ngiti sa iyong mga mata.
Isang araw, may isang babae (itago na lang natin sa pangalang KE) na nakalimutang hingin ang baon niya sa kanilang kasambahay. Pumasok sha ng walang baon sa araw na iyon at tanging natitirang pera sa kaniyang bag ay mga sukli mula sa mga dati pa niyang baon. Sa isip-isip niya, "Sige, oks lang. Sapat pa naman ang perang ito hanggang hapon pauwi. May MRT kard naman ako kaya magkakasya pamasahe ko." Taglay ang thought na iyon, masaya niyang hinarap ang araw.
Wahahaha! Ang perfect ng friendster horoscope ko ngayon. Something to do with letting go of expectations about some person who isn't living up to it. Feeling ko tuloy kilala ako ng gumagawa ng friendster horoscope. Freaky kung ganon.
Reaching home past midnight on a regular school night is but common to a wandering commuter. Yes, that is what I have decided to call myself just 4 seconds ago. Wandering commuter. Adds some mystery and adventure to a seemingly ordinary "occupation", doesn't it?
Ang kulit ng YM. Mabuhay talaga ang nakaimbento niyan. Andame kasing interesanteng napag-uusapan dahil sa YM e. Tulad ng talakayang ugat ng pamagat ng blog entry na 'to.
Go for it. Do not be afraid to bleed. It only proves that you are indeed human. And that bravery is not a characteristic extinct from your kind. Do not think about distance or age or any of the crap that people give out as reasons to do nothing. They are just that, just REASONS, barriers made by your mind, barriers that can easily be torn down by the very same mind that created them. That is, if you decide to tear them down. You see, it is all up to you. You were born with that wonderful birthright in a society which graciously reinforces it. So act now and put that privelege to good use. The worst that might happen is you having to go to the pub to drink beer with with your friends in order to bask in the pain of rejection and the seemingly deadly shame creeping up your spine. It's not much of a loss though, since the event proved that you have great friends and that seemingly deadly feeling of shame is just that --seemingly deadly. You'll survive and you'll be ready to face another day. And you'll have something to charge to your experience. If you're not up to that, then give up your right. There are many others not born with it who are very eager to take it from you. If you're too scared to act upon it, you probably don't deserve it anyway. Hand it over then. So that things can actually start happening in this world.
