storyline

para sa huling yugto:
ang kwento ni romeo flores, jr.

ang ganda nung kwento
malungkot (or hormonal lng ako)
na masaya
storya ng tagumpay at pangarap
nakakatuwa magkwento yung tatay nya
ang chubby nung aso na si carlo
mukang mahiyain ang nanay nya
goodluck kay icy, sana nga maipagpatuloy nya ang sinumulang ng kuya nya

ang galing mo magdrawing romeo, jr!!
galing!!!


sana ibalik nila ang storyline. ;)

one big happy family

Dear friend,

I know family is not one of our famous topics ---- but we have talked about them once in a while.

Well, it will be christmas soon and christmas are for families.

Merry Christmas to your Lolo, Lola (my favorite), Mama (ok naman health?), Papa and Jo. And to your Tito din.

Shempre, Merry Christmas syo.
I'm sure you'll have a good one.


Love always,
Reg

the problem is a choice

mula sa pelikulang matrix. nung dumating si neo kay architect para magtanong ng mga sagot tungkol sa bagay-bagay. architect didn't gave him an aswer. he gave him a choice.

we all face choices everyday. routine and mundane choices. sometimes big and life changing choices.

kailangan! kasi, the worse choice you can really make is having no choice. so we decide, we choose.

maybe they are wrong, maybe not. maybe they are simple, maybe harder than you think. maybe for you, maybe for others. maybe. who will know? if we don't make one.

neo started to believe he's the one and chose to save zion and trinity.

hope that for every choice we make will make something right.

make my day

Go ahead, make my day.
I will make this a shirt. ;)

artista mode

i promise to start effectively tomorrow, Monday
and be productive until thursday.
haha. ok. friday.
i will do my routines
i will not go off schedule
and will stay organize
i will lessen procrastination
and being distracted by any random stuff in my head
all throughout the rest of the holidays
i got this.
i will be awesome. ;)

i heart Papa P.

Piolo Jose Norkis Pascual
PJ for short
Si Ultimate Super Crush!!!
Haaay, PJ.
One day ma-mmeet mo rin ako.
Di ako ganun katangkad pero tingin ko magcclick tayo. Haha.
Sabi nila: mabait, masipag, dedicated and responsible si Papa P!
Tingin ko sweet din sya and he can be funny. ;)
Sana naging kabatch ko sya nung college. :P
Parang commercial..
Makikita ko sya sa field then sisigaw ako ng: "I love you Piolooo!"
Tapos di na naman nya mapipigilang tumawa ng tumawa.
Thank You God for giving us Papa P.
Thanks Papa P for always inspiring us.
You are the ultimate guy! ;)

simple lng dapat ang life

Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day. - Alfred, Dark Knight Rises

Or maybe days.
Life can really be a roller coaster.
Scream and enjoy the ride!

westlife

(Sa dinadami ng kanta para ma-stuck sa isip ko, ito pa talaga. Mahaba-haba pa ang araw.)
Balik HaySkul.
One more time with feelings!!!!

But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me?
How will I know
If I let you go?


Isa pa!?

new season

As warm as a sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as a fire, cold as a ice
Sweet as a sugar and everything nice

As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be

All I wanna be oh, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything
Everything at once.

;)

eat pray love

Dear friend,

Have you watched this movie? Maybe not, right? ;) I like the title so i reuse it and it fits. 
I'm enjoying being away. Of coarse, it's not great but it's enough for what i need now. I need alone time to remember what life is like minus all the stuff that added up for the last 3 years. It's a nice journey to look back, i saw a happy and happier version of me. It's our nature to ask for more and that was the mistake i got myself in so that's why i'm away, here.

I had a chance to talk to a monk, they say they are full of wisdom about life so why not (and they were practicing their English). The first question was why are you here? I'm thinking to say because of work (because it was partly that) but i just said, because i wanted to get away. He smiled. Maybe, it was a sign of a good thing. Another foreigner approached him and the monk ask the same question, the man said to find happiness though he didn't really looked sad. I smiled and let them have their conversation. I know some people have harder problems inside them even if it's not obvious so i think i understand what that foreigner means. It helps when you can just be frank about what you need and what you're looking for, hearing yourself say it --- validates all the mix feelings. You will still need answers, sometimes a lot, but at least now the question is clear.

This place, thought me to pray for myself again because it's ok. It's not selfish to look after yourself. I had one prayer before and i stop because obviously i wasn't reading correctly the answers. So, i won't be doing that anymore because i changed my prayer. I found here the simple life i wanted. I think of it again to be possible. People are nice and happy and it shows. I understood now, the difference in people like me and people not like me. I learn to be fair to myself. I can cry when i want to.

You know i really learned a lot from movies. I would like to believe that they were written for a reason. But sometimes, can't avoid to think that they are just movies. Love and Other Drugs. Jamie told Maggie, "Sometimes the things you want the most don't happen and what you least expect happens. I don't know - you meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet one person and your life is changed forever." I exactly know what he meant. 500 Days of Summer. Summer told Tom, "No. You we're right about love and all that. It's me that you were wrong about." For the record, I'm Tom. Last Night. Joanna told Alex, "Maybe i never wanted this to change. Everything changes, everything changes but this. This still hasn't, not for me. It hasn't lessen. I saw you this morning (hand gestures) and it the middle of most nights i still replay you." "Once you learn something like that, you can't unlearn it." "What I wouldn't have given to have tired of you." I wish i can tell the same lines she told him. But in character, we know my role is closer to Alex. One Day. Emma told Dexter, "I thought i got rid of you." Those lines, i'm afraid of because i think i can say it and at the same time i know i might not get the chance to. Because, i'm me and you're you. It's different.

Which is why this would be my second and could be last letter. I had plans to tell you about all the many things i would like us to do and stories i would like us to make, i'm sure you will like them. We can talk about it as long as you want because i do love listening to you. But I always imagined more than just writing to you and i know i can't change that. We are who we are. Know that I'll always cheer you anyway. ;) I promise to be always happy for you. Ingat.

Love always,
Reg

do you have a light?

anyway, that's fine.
let's see if i can find mine this time. ;)

breaking all records

93rd. my all time highest in a year, for the last 6 years.
guess, i have a lot to say this 2012.
we all know what they say when you write a lot. haha.
hey, that's life!
i know yrs from now, it will be fun to read these entries again
or maybe fun for other readers
all these words
im sure il forget some
and never forget some too
i easily get the moral story when i write it down
it's been great for me to be writing all these random stories
good or bad. happy or sad.
apologies for being normally incosistent
and at times awkwardly honest
my thoughts exactly

just another headache

trobbing in my temples
hard beating on my head
noise. i can't stand the noise
everything seems to be moving around
chest pains are worse
but i have to move
move!

song of the moment

A warning sign,
I missed the good part then I realized,
I started looking and the bubble burst,
I started looking for excuses.

Come on in,
I've got to tell you what a state I'm in,
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you,
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

A warning sign,
You came back to haunt me and I realized,
That you were an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.

Come on in,
I've got to tell you what a state I'm in,
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you,
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so,
And I'm tired,
I should not have let you go,
No.

(piano solo)

So (il) crawled back into your open arms,
Yes (il) crawled back into your open arms,
And (il) crawled back into your open arms,
Yes (il) crawled back into your open arms.


(i thought i have forgotten this song.)

hard days and nights

It's been hard days and nights
and i'm finally on my homestretch. yey!
i hope to be good there
and find what i need
i wish to be better when i come back
for my favorite time of the year.

best effort

dapat lagi tayong best effort!
kahit ano pang mangyari
para walang palaisipan sa mga bagay na sana ginawa natin sa buhay
gusto ko lang magawa nya pa rin yung mga pangarap nya
yung mga ideas nya sa notebook
ang dami kasi
passion nya yun
baka nga, di nya alam
minsan pa pang save the world
sayang naman 
kaya ayun.
di naman cguro masama
and send!

bisibisihan

alam mo yung definition ng productive?
oo, not today!
wala akong masabi sa sarili ko.
shempre cute at magaling pa rin! :P
ala-una na pala.
masyadong na-aliw sa kung anu-anong bagay mula pag gising ko.
madali lng tlga ko madistract.
sorii na.
makatulog na lang muna
hihi
another long day ahead

random walking

mahilig akong maglakad (nasabi ko na ba yun?)
narealize ko 3:30 na at wala pa kong nagagawa sa opisina
mukang madami akong ginagawa pero yung dapat ko tlga gawin... hehe.
so naglakad-lakad ako
bakit nga kaya tumatahimik ang mga tao sa elevator? pero hindi rin e. haha.
suki tlga ang 8th floor
amoy gym
natutuwa ako pag may nakikita kong mas maliit sa'kin
ito na nman.
naharang na nman ako tungkol sa job offer.
either muka akong fresh grad or muka akong walang trabaho.
minsan ang hirap datnan ng sipag
pag gusto mo na gumawa
makakaramdam ka ng gutom
tapos makikipagkwentuhan ka
after, magiinternet ka
then mya-mya aantukin ka na kung kelan andyan na si boss
shempre kunwari hindi
pero after ng 2 kape, inaantok ka pa rin.
itong si kuya ng bangko, paborito ko. haha.
mas napapangiti ka pag napangiti mo yung iba
at least alam mong
nagiging effective ka na mamamayan ng Pilipinas.
iba na manamit ngayon ang mga tao noh
hindi na kasing simple
ako na lang ang ata ang hindi maka-letgo sa mga luma kong damit
(kasalanan ko ba na kasya pa sila)
or ako na lang ang bumibili sa divisoria
konti pa rin ang mga tunay na lalake na naka-bitin pants
dati, gusto ko rin magwork sa bangko at maging teller dahil sa uniform.
next please.

skyfall

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamed this moment
So overdue, I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen

Let the sky fall.

happy people

i like seeing happy people
happy young ones
happy old ones
they're nice to look at
they get me smiling
so, there's chance!

paulit-ulit paulit-ulit

sabi ko nga pag hindi mo makuha yung moral lesson
ulit ka!
eh ako nga ata yung paulit-ulit na di makagets
grabe ang slow ko lang tlga
kelan ako ggraduate nyan?
ako na ang bagay sa row 4
graduate na lahat ng kasama ko
si kuya pinapagalitan na ko, alam nya kc
pero tingin ko pinagttripan lang ako nitong titser ko
walang moral lesson sa paboritong kwento ni sir.
maluluma to sa pagreplay pero ganun pa rin
walang magbabago
kasi magkaiba ang kwento sa tunay na buhay
tama or tama?
well, at least nakuha ko rin! sa wakas!
wohoo! good job!

oras

kung mayaman lang ako
bibili ako ng oras the second na pwede sya bilin
minsan kasi gusto mo na lang sana mastuck sa isang oras
kahit sandali lang
tapos ituloy na lang sya ulit
kaso shempre hindi pwede yun
may times na pwede nman maging selfish
gawin mo gusto mo
masaya kahit sandali lang din yun
most of the time
kailangan mong tumakbo pa rin at habulin ang oras na tinigil mo
ganun tlaga eh
siguro kung nababalik ng tao ang oras
nasa endless loop na lang tayo
may mga msyadong selfish kasi na tao
feeling nila andaming nilang oras at andaming mo rin oras
hindi naman

ep 6

back to my other work and assignments.
bago magkalimutan, madami tayong natutunan dyan.
i-apply natin ng na-aayon sa batas.
parang panatang makabayan.
game!

do not open

pag sinabi ba talagang do not open, hindi mo bubuksan?
pag sinabing do not read, di mo babasahin?
pag sinabing pls. delete, buburahin mo ba tlga?

pag-iisipan mo?
curious?


then ginawa mo pa din. ;)

Estrella

Hindi kita malilimutan Estrella,
Mananatili kang napakagandang ala-ala sa aking puso
Tila isang paulit-ulit na palabas sa isip ko
Sa araw-araw kong pagdaan
Sa bawat pagtawag sa iyo
Isang masayang ngiti ang hatid mo.


Wala lang. Ü

mixed tape

Ayon sa wikipedia:
A mixtape or mixed-tape is the generic name given to any compilation of songs recorded onto a Compact Cassette, Compact Disc, music file, or any other audio format.^[1]
A mixtape, which usually reflects the musical tastes of its compiler, can range from a casually selected list of favorite songs, to a conceptual mix of songs linked by a theme or mood, to a highly personal statement tailored to the tape's intended recipient.

version 2.0 i never wrote about this (i think) or the first one (kasi wala pa akong blog ng 04).
sayang nga wala na akong copy nung dati. aba! binigay ko kc tlga yun. (yung playlist baka mahanap ko sa baul) actually, project sya sa school. dahil corny ako minsan, nagpaka-keso nman ako. (pro di nman nakakaiyak ang mga kanta dun pro kung naiyak sya. tatawa ako.)

so dito sa second time around sabi ko mag-stick ako sa 100 songs but 228 songs as of to date. sinimulan ko bago ko mag-bday. hanggang ilan kaya to aabot? para dapat ito sa kaarawan nya. pero di na kc sya kasya sa cd e. Haha. Onti naman para sa isang DVD. so, sa next next next bday na lang cguro ni sir.

so what about this playlist? wala nman. natutuwa lang ako sa ginawa kong compilation. so, anyway, here's what's playing now.

Your Universe - Rico Blanco
sincere and thankful. like the video too.

Next to You - Chris Brown (feat. Justin Bieber)
nice words. nice beats.

Don't Worry Baby - Beach Boys
feel good song. oldies but goodies.

Dreaming - Mayer Hawthorne
really good tune to sing.

Ikaw Lang Ang Aking Mahal - VST & Company
sa tingin ko self explanatory.

Linger - The Cranberries
i actually sang this once for a Christmas party. (kahiya!) this song fits more nowadays compared before.

All Around the World - Oasis
very long but very good song.

ok. tama na.

Cook Experiment #1: Quick Mock Arroz Valenciana

i hate it when my cooking didn't turn out the way i want to
after all my google search and "resourcefulness"
i could start with the missing ingredient from the grocery
which was frustrating
after my efforts through the rain
tried to come up with alternatives
but i knew that wouldn't really work either
put on extra of my secret ingredient and still i wasn't satisfied
my sister told me it's ok. 
this or no dinner.
haha.

crying lady

well, we all have our weaknesses
the weak moments of your life
na hindi ka man lang nabigyan ng warning
hindi prepared
pero kelan ba kasi magiging prepared?
been hard to put and maintain a game face
about that particular subject
siguro kasi ayokong pag usapan
shempre ayoko kc mag explain sa ibang tao
or sa sarili ko
kumbaga iaabsent ko na lang yan!
hirit pa e! paulit-ulit lang nman.
i never knew i had so many tears
bat ganun?
wagas lang.
haay, Regina.
tama na yan!

N & M

he said: "i have to do this right, and to do this right...."
so she said: "you had me at give me the damn glock"

love the couple. ;)

yesterday, i wore skirt.

first of all, because it was an agreement.
second of all, i liked the idea too.

hindi kasi ako madalas nagsskirt
kasi madalas akong namamasahe
madalas pag feel ko lang
or wala na akong pantalong maisuot
tshirt and jeans kahit kelan, kahit saan
blouse and jeans pag weekdays,
at least i try to
(sayang ang office blouse)
pero i like wearing skirts
mas nagagawa ko yun pag may travel
dati every wednesday
the office girl look
dahil din sa isang agreement (haha)
sana nga yung panahon ngayon gaya dati
kung saan ang mga babae nakapambabae
casual dress everyday
minsan balloon dress
ang cute kasi

out of reach

Detachment is a skill.
Also not a sport.
Me? I'm not a pro.
Probably always a newbie.
Not easy.
But doable.
You got this!

Dear friend

i finally watched a movie today.
i really like it.
but it might not be your type of thing.
i love love the typrewriter in the film.
ok. i also kinda like the lead guy.
here are a few lines.
i really want to turn things around this year.
this is what fun looks like.
welcome to the island of misfit toys.
be agressive. passive agressive.
do you think if people knew how crazy you are, they won't talk to you?
let's go be psycho's together.
C -  ladies and gentlemen. I'm below average! Below Average!!!!!
why do i and everyone i love, pick people who treat us like nothing?
we accept the love we think we deserve.
you see things, you understand. you're a wallflower.
i know that there are people who say all these don't happen.
i know all these will all be stories one day.
but right now, we are alive.
and in this moment, i swear.
we
are
infinite.

Love always,
Reg

juno

Yun oh!
I finally get to watch it.
At one point, Juno and i have the same question in mind.
Well, can't really avoid it.
But it all worked out.
You go girl! :)

chix

may kanta eh.
yung it's a man's world or
this is a man's world
dapat madami akong natutunan dun.
hehe.
bakit nga ba kasi ako andito uli?
where are my girlfriends when you need one.

i'm a girl in a man's world
dunno if im really welcome here
or if i fit the profile
but i didn't remember trying to ask anyway
i wonder how they really think of me
coz im just a girl
im not really different
what i do, some else can too
i still love that girl power
and a solid bsb fan
i enjoy being with my guy friends even if it's pretty weird for some
or even personally for me
i partly blame ms. tatcher for further encouraging me too
being the rose among the thorns

kung naging lalake ko, hmmm.
malamang mahilig ako sa basketball
magulo din cguro ako kausap
suplado
maginoo pero medyo bastos
iisipin ko rin ang mystery nyang si papa p
(pero di ko sasabihing gwapo sya)
pati ang bitin na pants ni john lloyd
shempre yung bad boy na si idol
pero for sure,
di ako magiging chix. ;)

panaginip

at napanaginipan na nman kita..
Grabe!!!
Ang kulit!
Gulo!
Kainis.

working girls

Hindi ko pa napapanuod yang pelikula na yan, either yung bago or ung luma pero siguro dapat kasali ako dun. 

6-10  Work online or meeting elsewhere with DevTeam
11-4  Kailangan ko nman magpaka-mature para maging Manager at iwasan maglaro in between, gumawa ng madaming paperwork at maging mabuti at huwarang HR, at maging IT Department
5-9   Pumasok on-time at maging productive sa part-time job at siguraduhin na magpakita kay Boss. Laging tandaan Regina, di ka mayaman! kailangan mo pa rin maging empleyado.
10-1 free time and other projects
2-6   DAPAT tulog

"Adika ka noh? Masukista ka pa! Baka yumaman ka nyan" , sabi ng kaibigan ko.

"Eh sana nga yumaman ako!"
Kahit onti para hindi nman ako laging mukang may black eye sa ilalim ng mata ko. (ano bang tawag dun?)
Muka na kong natutuyo ah. (nakita ko yung sarili ko kanina sa salamin)
Pero ang galing ko pala.
Then napagod ako bigla. 3-4 jobs. Grabe!!
Minsan na-iimpress ko rin ang sarili ko. (haha)
Para kasi akong may thesis gabi-gabi.
Minsan kailangan tlga natin magtrabaho ng madami.
Hindi naman corny or KJ ang tawag dun.
Hindi ko naman iniiwasan ang mga kaibigan ko.
Hindi naman ako naglalaro at gusto ko lang magpaka-looser.
Busy lang talaga ako ngayon.
(Wag nyo ko i-tempt mag-sine, marupok ako. haha)
Sing: "You wanna be a looser like me" - Glee (cool talaga si lola)

Ako na ang working girl. :)

anong kailangan ko?

time and space. (chos)
baka sya may kailangan sa'kin. (chos ulit)
baka oras na para kumanta ko ng makapagdamdamin na..
"i did my best, but i guess my best wasn't good enough."
pa-advance ng sorry.

kakanta ko:
This one's for you and me, living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters

this is what happens when im awake more than 24 oras.

super proxy

Refrain:
Ito ang kailangan mo
Idial lang ang telepono

Chorus:
Hindi na dapat maghirap
Sa iisang iglap ang buhay mo ay sasarap
'Wag nang mag-atubili kumuha ka ng
Superproxy


Pa-proxy naman kahit sandali!
Hindi nman ako nagrereklamo na madaming trabaho pero baka nman pwedeng mkpg-sine man lang. 1.5hours to 2 breaktime lang yun.
Napapagod din.
Baka maubos tong utak ko.
Andaming nangyayari!
Nahihilo na ko.
Sana kasing tangkad ko ang assignments ko, yun ok yun.
Makapag-pahangin nga sa labas.
Kailangan ko mag-isip.

sweet 16K

wohoo!
16,000 and counting clicks of love.
of coarse, we never knew we'll get here 6 years ago
when multiply was still popular
but thanks to them we started our endless new friends everyday
a small bunch of amateur yuppies who wanted to travel
first, the Philippines. second, the world.
share and create the same experience for others
yep. that was the dream.
thanks to our day jobs
thanks to our raket jobs
thanks to our VLs and SLs
thanks to our partners
thanks to our clients
thanks to all our invites
thanks to all the emails
thanks to all the proposals and partnership (more! more!)
thanks to all our imitations and competition
thanks to all the guestings and upcoming ones (feeling)
thanks to all our fans (feeling ulit)
thanks to our team (kahit minsan sobrang nakakainis talaga sila)
thanks to the chances He gave us
we are still trying to make it for all of you guys.
we hope to be better.

faster forward

Ang pakiramdam ko ngayon ay..
parang Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata
Minsan kasi...
May mga events ka sa buhay na sana sa ganitong panahon siya mangyari,
sa ganitong sitwasyon or or
events sa buhay na gusto mo mangyari na, agad agad! Now or never!
Para matapos na at makapag-move-on ka sa kung ano mang next event ng buhay
kesa magtagal ka sa current event mo at may maihirit pa sya syo na di mo matangihan.
In short, shempre gusto natin laging may mangyari
Yung tanong na kelan, minsan kaya mo naman sagutin.
Then may tanong pa na paano?
Minsan kailangan din ng ibang tao para sa kabuuan ng sagot
Dahil kahit san mo pa daanin, ang hirap mag-intay
Pero ok lang yun, basta ba may dadating. 
Kaso sabi nga sa movie, "Hindi dahil gusto mo makukuha mo."
Sa totoong buhay talaga mas maraming pwedeng mangyari na di ayon syo
vs. dun sa isang chance na aayon syo na dapat may celebration
Anyway, san ba galing tong sinasabi ko?
Ang point is may time na kailangan natin magreact sa mga event ng buhay
na mas mabilis kesa sa nakasanayan,
gawin ang mga bagay ng ibang strategy naman,
kumunsulta this time sa unang decision making body ng tao
malay mo, mag-work.
So, sana maging ok naman ang lahat.

writing it down

i keep forgetting that you are in good hands
especially on certain days
like today, so.. i'm gonna write it down.
it's a cliche but...
"i really do hope you're happy."
always. 

super hero

i'm not really sure if he wants to save the world
sometimes when i listen to him i felt that it was his duty
to make a difference
and he's been planning it for so long
leaves me smiling while he finish
always got me speechless

a theory

so, i heard...

(a similar kind of conversation)
i just wanted to help
guess no one warned your friends about the noble you
that's how you operate
you're the only one who can handle the truth
you're the only one who knows what's the right thing to do
there's a theory on that
you need people but you don't trust them
you withhold information so they won't depend on you
but make their choices for them
so they can't disappoint you
..you're not responsible for them.

maybe yes. i do that.
i do always feel responsible because i feel it's right.
i make decisions for the people dear to me
or just remove myself from them whichever way i can, without telling them
in my head, that is best for us.
but hey, they're free to tell me im wrong.

kunwari

yan yung mga linyang pang "in a perfect world"
so enjoyin natin yan
minsan lang ang mga moments para sa kunwari
minsan ka lang sisipagin sakyan yung idea ng kunwari
at minsan ka lang mabibigyan ng chance sa kunwari na yan
wag mo na pigilan
masaya naman
at least meron ka babalikan
kahit kunwari lang. ;)


(oo na. panalo na si JLC today.)

maiba lang

may libro si ramon bautista
di ko lam kung totoo
ang titolo ay...
bakit hindi ka crush ng crush mo?
(cover pa lang, bibilin mo na)
mukang madami tyo matutunan dun
pero teka teka teka
ang tanong
bakit nga ba hinde?
di ba?
rebelde ba sya?
hindi naman sa dapat masyadong tyong bilib sa sarili natin
kailangan lang maging cheerer tyo ng sarili natin
bakit ba kc ang focus lagi ng mga tanong sa ganyang bagay eh harap sa salamin
ok cge maganda syang unang tanong
kaso wag natin ibuhos dun
sayang ang pagddrama at soul searching
sya kaya tanungin mo at pagisipin mo
di ba pwedeng mali sya sa role bilang crush?
it's not you, it's him/her
so sa palagay ko
mas maganda kung ang libro ay....
dear crush, bakit di mo crush ang may crush syo? ;)

mas sakto.
mismo.

to be continued...

sa suking tindahan

sana nabibili ang lahat ng kailangan natin sa suking tindihan:

ate, isang supot nga ng Kasipagan
kuya, isang bote nman ng Kaseryosohan
manong, isang tumpok ng Katiyagaan
at manang, isang guhit ng Katahimikan, yung Inner Peace ganyan.

ang saya di ba? ;)

disappointed

i believe i don't have high expectations about people
but i have high hopes in them
i like to see them make it
i don't like the idea of being dependent
but neither being too independent
i love the magic i see from interdependence
the concept of what makes a team
an organization
or those dynamic duos
i like being able to play the part of my role
that's why
at certain points
i just can't let it go
and push the matter away
when i see one part failing or slacking around
worse to not even care or notice
i feel like screaming

violation of an arrest

now i know why i wanted to be a doctor
because im a very difficult patient.
yep. guilty as a girl can be.
sorry self.
wish you the best of luck in your future years
and may the odds be forever in your favor.

sleepless

in seattle? haha.
ang title na asa isip ko knina is:
at times when i couldn't sleep (haba)
then first line, i still replay you..
soz! baliw.
i watch too many movies.
hindi na ko makatulog.

procrastination

Find ways to inspire yourself.
procrastination is not wasted time.

I'm sure i got what that really means today.

I'm Reg and I'm an adik. ;)

fever

now is not really a good time to be getting a disease
i shouldn't have this virus
im not a big fan of meds
unlike my parents who enjoys giving them to me
because of this conflict
most likely, im gonna be stuck here for a while
well, it's been a long time since the last time
so, im trying to enjoy the so called "break"
working on and off times
staying quiet and silent
listening to music
sitting still off a plastic chair
observing the world

song of songs

4:9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.

I don't really remember much about verses until this one. And i can't deny the fact that it reminds me about a song i like. ;)

1754 km

i remember a time when i was growing up,
in a really small home built by my father
few plants, big tree
couple of pigs and chickens around
a rusty "poso" and pails
running with my cousins to the town plaza
playing hide n seek under the moonlight
going in and out of our neighbors' houses
everyday, was that simple
which a part of me wishes to go back to
would love to just walk to school
would wanted to be teacher in that place
put up a sari-sari store
marry and start a family in the same community and grow old in it
just like the same stories we hear from several provinces and several cultures
there's nothing wrong in having a much much simpler life
as long as you're happy and complete.

4:15

Actually kanina pa kong 4:15 nagpapanggap na natutulog, iniisip ko bakit ako gising or hindi inaantok. Since masyadong maaga at may ilang oras pa lng nung humiga ako dito sa sofa, hindi ako bumangon. Haay aantukin ako nito mamaya eh, feeling zombie na naman ako. Pumikit ako, gumilid, umakap sa unan at nag-attempt muli. Fail. Nagrepeat lang yung steps na yun hanggang 5:00. Epic Fail. O cge fine, try nating umupo. Ayos ng bentilador, unan ulit. Di na ko pumikit kasi feeling ko, mas ok kung babagsak na lang ang mga mata ko sa antok, kaso hindi nangyari. Antagal kong nakipagtitigan sa sahig hanggang nagising na si Mommy. 5:30 suko na ko wala ng mangyayari sakin nito. Kumuha na ko ng tubig para sa kape, bukas ng kalan, kumuha ng baso, gatas, asukal, kutsyarita at shempre kape. Nag-check ng pwedeng kainin sa ref, may parang cupcake na may kagat na, malamang si Daddy. Balik sa sofa, di pa rin masyadong gumagalaw. Pagkaraan ng ilang segundo, minuto. Oh well, gising na ko eh. Twitter. Yan! bumilis-bilis ang oras, 6:00. Parang feel ko magsulat kaya ito, 6:31. After 4 days, papasok na ko ulit --- pedicab, jeep, bus, mrt, jeep tapos jeep, mrt, lakad then bus, jeep, pedicab. 6:56

hello stranger

hey you
how are you?
you awake? busy?
how's your day?
the new toy?
how's my english? haha.
it's late.
we should sleep.
good night weirdo.

nagsimula ang lahat nung biyernes

surprise!!!
kulang pala ang natutunan ko sa girl scout
hindi ako handa dun
hindi nman ako nagwalkout o ano
nung bigla syang dumating
aaminin kong naiiyak ako
sabay concentrate sa computer para wag bumagsak ang baka bumagsak
wala akong sinagot sa mga tanong nya
wala rin akong kinomment
wala akong nasabi
ayoko ang mga nangyari
pati nung nakasalubong nmin sya ulit
pero sino ba naman ako para masunod tungkol sa mga pangyayari sa buhay ko?
alam ko na to eh
birthday gift nya cguro sakin
infairness
tingin ko kinaya ko naman maging maayos
hanggang makauwi ng 3am
gumana ang auto-ignore
Sabado, Linggo, Lunes ok pa rin
tapos dumating ang Martes ng habagat
yun!
bakit ba nman kasi Universe?
lagi mo na lang akong hinahamon
panandalian lang akong hindi nagpatalo
hindi rin nakatiis, sabi ko nga
para kang isang Gary V song
"Nandyan ka na naman..."
ang labo ko din eh
ang labo!!!!!
pero maraming maraming salamat sa saya na parang walang nagbago ngunit gaya ng nakasanayan,
kailangan ko isipin na isa syang commercial break
na matatapos din paglipas ng mga araw
mawawala din sya ulit
ang life cycle naming dalawa.

mahirap tlga iwasan ang di mo gustong iwasan
pero hindi naman sya cguro impossible.

malabo ba?

yan ang linya ni ces.
napagkatikatihan ko mag marathon kagabi este kaninang madaling araw
ng mga pelikulang kinapulutan ko ng mga aral
parang review ganun
madami kasing nangyari nitong lumipas na linggo
eh baka kc nagkalimutan na
mabuti yung pina-aalahanan mo yung sarili mo minsan
aba! matanda na tyo para bumagsak noh
di na kaya ng oras, pera at nito
kaya ikaw Regina, makinig ka ha!
matatapos mo to with flying colors. ;)

Quotes from Batman

when you've heard a lot from the "man behind the mask", it gets harder to choose the most memorable ones. ;)

1. I'm not scared. I'm angry.
2. Secret identities are important - it protects who you are and the ones you love.
3. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I can do those things. Because I’m not a hero.
4. I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be.
5. Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

new kids

the kids today are getting smarter and smarter
and i don't know if that's a good thing or not
i feel that they are getting smarter for the less important reasons
maybe because this is the world present to them today
can't fully blame them
i turn to their parents and older siblings too
it always bothers me to watch them
and i don't think i will get use to it
most of them don't act their age
i don't understand their priorities in life
mainly their take on fashion and language
i believed most of them embraced too much the idea of "living young wild and free"
that they're too selfish to really care about anything other than the things they want to do now.

but of coarse, that's what i think
i live in a different time.

help

ok, that was called my caught unaware moment
but will do better next time
promise.

well, it's completely a different celebration for me this year
i know it always rain on my birthday,
but it got carried away this time.

then..
i called for help
it's a surreal feeling to instantly received an answer and answers
i honestly didn't know how to respond
everything became overwhelming after
and my silence broken
for a short while, i replayed what it was like,
i miss that
and i seriously appreciate it.

john lloyd vs robin padilla theory

ang tunay na babae at lalake
alam ang john lloyd vs robin padilla theory
di ko makakalimutan ang araw na to.
;)

lh 0803

You fit someone's ideals so perfectly that it's hard to believe. This person's afraid of falling in love with you, for fear that you might disappear.

(well, as that person can see. i'm here.)

from the movie Last Night

I liked the movie.

It has a realistic lesson to teach.

I'm reminded a lot, again.
I'm not insane.

There are many defining parts that I enjoyed.

Many defining lines too.

Honestly, to be in that storyline is hard. 

I don't think i can.

But i'd go for Alex's character.

The Lesson: "Be smart. Keep it as it is."

lab 101

There is a huge difference between a love story and a story about love.
Everyone should choose the later.
If you can't picture the idea, this is why you should watch 500 Days of Summer.
A lot of people dislike and avoid this movie.
Well, you shouldn't.
There's a lot of things you'll learn about love until your dying days.
A good start, is a story about it.

what dreams may come again

i had a dream today about me and Sir
i was in an open space
then i notice, i was standing on a basketball court
wearing tshirt and jeans, no bags
then Sir entered the frame
(ok. that's it! im dreaming)
i was surprise to see him
he was in a yellow shirt and jeans with a BIG backpack
i said, maybe he's going somewhere
he was walking towards me
looking very lean and nice
and then it's that smile again
i turned around to search for other people but all i saw was empty spaces
after my 360 turn, i turn back to him and smiled back
at that my point, i didn't get what was going on
we haven't seen each other for a long time and i really don't want to see him
but we were going somewhere together
somewhere, i don't know
yet all my concern was, to ask him where are my things?
and he wasn't answering
he looks at me once in a while then goes back looking in the bag
he hold me and said, it was time to go
and my father appeared
on the cement bench with field of trees on his background
he was mouthing some words but no sound, as he was looking at us
we could not figure out what he was trying to do
it was worrying for me, but i didn't even move
i was just staring at my father
Sir was trying to make some explanations and tried to be entertaining for me
(He was being weird again)
I smiled at him
grab his arm
and we walked.

primetime bida

Ang akala ko yung mga nakikita kong kadramahan sa teleserye,
hindi mangyayari sa tunay na buhay.
Yung mga bigla na lang maiiyak mag-isa,
nung may nag-play na music.
Di mo malaman san nanggaling yung luha,
kanina ok naman sya.
Araw ba ng San Juan?
Anong meron?
Walang ibang tumatakbo sa isip niya kundi makauwi.
Ngayon mo lang narinig ang kanta.
Parang tanga lang.
Eksenang pang primetime bida.

the narrator

there are 5 of us here sitting on this steel bench
currently not enjoying leaning on this hard chair
my other 4 seatmates are busy doing something on their phones
i am listening to fun's album for the 1st time
while staring blankly at a parking lot
we are all waiting for a ride home
3 girls and 2 guys
the 2 on my left are playing games
the other 2 on my right are on facebook and contacts exploration
and then a guy came along
so, were 6.
looks like it's gonna be a long wait.

big stuff

i realize that i really don't like
big words
big gestures
big houses
big surprises
big people
big issues
big food
big news
big drama
big cars
big motorbikes
big dogs
big sacrifices
big gifts
big riches
big responsibilities
and all the like
because i don't get the point of it being big
(except on a few instances like an elephant or a big pillow)
it's not that i don't appreciate the idea
im not saying it's bad
it's just always been hard to get my head around it.

i met 4 guys

the idea came to me when i was inside the bathroom (haha)
i know. i'm sorry.
anyway, it just came to me.
if i would be able to write and finish a short story, this could be it.

starring:
The Pope, The Boogie Man, The Professional and The Weird One.

i think this will be fun. :)

deal again

i could have chosen the easy way out
but i didn't.
i did have other opportunities waiting on me
but i didn't.
i should have played safe and double safe
but i didn't.
though realizing how things could turn out if i did
doesn't really say to me, everything would be different
might be less difficult
but where's the fun in that?
so, either way
i just have to..
Deal Again.

Background Song:
I'm wanted dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive

the old general rule

i genuinely want everyone dear to me to be happy
if i can be the reason or contribute to that, in any way
i will do it
favorable or none
i will rest my case
and the other rest, i leave to history.

im impress

not everyday that i find a reason for the term
but today, i don't think another word would fit.
you are still amazing!
you is smart
you is kind
you is important
(okay, that might come from a movie.)
(coz it is.)
but you are all that.
you are getting pretty good at this.
you look confident.

Nagtitipid. kaya sa bldg canteen lang kumain.
Text nyo ko pag game na.

Untold Pinoy Stories. Huwaw!

So, Chasing Pavements ni Adele. (awts) Now, i understand her.
Indeed, the worse parts in your life make good stories. or an award winning song. deserving of a new loving lover and a baby.
Good Job!!

Dahil tag-ulan. Pa-uulanin pa namin. :)

si lolo

kanina nakita ko ulit si lolo
gaya ng dati,
nakapolo
khaki pants
tsinelas
tapos may hawak syang papel na pinapabasa sa tao
hindi ko pa din alam kung anong meron sa papel na yun
isang beses nasalubong ko sya sa paglalakad ko sa Shaw
papunta pa lang sya sa pwesto nya
sinundan ko sya sandali
pero nahiya akong harangin sya para magtanong
gusto ko talagang malaman bakit siya nagpupunta dun
bakit sya nagbibihis?
san sya umuuwi?
anong nakalagay sa papel
hindi ba siya nagsasalita?
may anak kaya sya? pamilya? asan na sila?
bakit nila siya iniwan?
ang payat payat na nya,
malungkot ang muka
walang pumapansin. walang gustong magbasa ng papel.
hindi ko alam kung bakit affected ako sa kanya
pero sana nga matulungan ko si lolo.

alam ko na

alam ko na

mapapagod din si Universe sa'kin
titigilan din nya ang pang-aasar.
dahil hindi na ko ma-iinis.
hindi na magiging effective sa kanya,
maghahanap sya ng ibang guguluhin.
matatapos din ang ulan.
mauubos din ang tubig at di na ako mababasa.
or babahain.

Cheers!

sumuko ka na

ito ay isa sa mga palaisipan sa isip ko.
ito ay isang entry sa aking drafts na hindi ko mapublish-publish.
ito ang aking pagsuko.

"Sumuko ka na, napapaligiran ka na namin."
gumawa din ako ng design. maganda syang shirt.
bagong taon. dapat bagong buhay.
enero 10, 2012. (after 10 days)

Bro, alam mo naman ung dasal ko.
alam mo na kung anong hindi ko kaya pagdating sa mga bagay bagay ng buhay.
napatunayan na rin natin yun.
ito lang naman ang ipinauubaya ko sa inyo.
kaya ko na yung iba. kaya yan.
mas kailangan kayo ng ibang tao.
pero dito, kailangan ko kayo.

Bro, mali kasi ako ng pagkaka-gets sayo.
akala ko kasi binigay mo si Sir sa'kin.  (ok, malabo. ulit.)
akala ko kasi ibinigay mo sya para din dun.
naniwala ako na ganun. hindi mo ba binulong sakin yun?
feeling ko tama ako. nakuha ko kayo, this time. kaya sabi ko: go! fight!
bakit ganun?
ansaya ko kasi. sobra.
nag-rereplay silang lahat sa akin.
di ako matapos-tapos.
1 taon na. (at 23 days)
mahirap pigilan.
di ko na maintindihan.
ayoko ng tumakbo.
hindi ko na kayang iconvince yung sarili ko na ok ako.
hindi ako ok.
pag hindi ko to tinigilan ngayon,
mas sasakit lang, masakit na nga.
andami ko ng nabuong pangarap.
hindi ko naman na ginagawa yun d b? (bakit ko ba kasi sinimulan ulit?)
ang problema, ako lang yun. selfish.
oo na. kasalanan ko na.
basta tulungan nyo pa rin ako.

Bro, sabihin nyo na rin kung di ba ko talaga para sa mga ganitong ending. para malinaw.
kasi lagi na lang akong mali sa kwento.
hindi nman madaling ulitin from scratch.
yung hatian ng responsibility natin, hindi nyo ginagawa.
andaya nyo.
wala nman akong ibang wish sa inyo simula nun.
kaya sige na Bro, bahala na kayo dito.
Please. Salamat po.

understanding emoness

3 years ago. Myself and 3 others went to Boracay to getaway from Manila. Today was our anniversary. I'm mostly there for moral support for my bestfriend who was self-destructing in-front of me. (i hate it when my friends do that to me. it's not fair.) A lot of new things happened on those 4 days. A number of things went down on those 3 nights. A lot of crying, that the weather also shared. I've never seen the place on such as a sad atmosphere. For the most parts i was a babysitter, a friend and a mom. But you know, maybe we all get a moment like that. We all get a right to self-destruct at one point. What's really hard for me is to see and let them do that until it's over because i know they have to do that. To be broken. So, they can be fix and be new again one day.

It’s nearly impossible to figure out the motivations of another person, so naturally much of this is just speculation. My problem, was to always need to understand them because i really don't and i care. Too much living in the moment can save a number of moments to only be left at that. Sometimes we are with no regard on how we affect people. First we will say, why should we? --- but why not? We must believe we have an effect on other people, even a small one, which is a good thing. We must be concerned too. We are a part of a flow of life. Someway, somehow.

Be a responsible cause.

Ang Tunay Na Lalake
mula kay Regina

(haha)
Una, gusto kong magpasalamat sa mga kaibigan kong lalake.
Madami sila at maswerte ako dun.
May mga single, merong may girlfriend, meron ding may asawa.
Kung kailangan mamili, mas pipiliin ko ang kaibigang lalake.
Bakit? Kasi kahit anong pareho namin magkaiba pa rin kami.
Parang instant source ng kodigo sa exam.
Kahit madalas naman magbago ang mga tanong, at least pasang-awa minsan.
Mas masaya ang kwentuhan kahit umiiyak ka na.
By default, nakakahanap ako ng kakampi.
Kaya ang Tunay Na Lalake, ay isang kaibigang maasahan.

Pangalawa, salamat sa tatay ko.
Isang larawan ng pagiging maabilidad at madiskarte sa buhay.
Siguro mahirap pumili ng isang kwento para isample
Secret na namin yun.
May pagka-comedy din sya.
Minsan matigas din talaga ang ulo nya.
Minsan nag-aaway rin kami.
May mga bagay din nman na ayaw ko sa kanya at sadyang nakakapikon.
Magka-ugali nga daw kami.
Pero lab ko yan!
Lagi nman nandyan si "Senior".
Yang mamang di bigote at malaking tiyan na yan.
Kaya ang Tunay Na Lalake, ay isang maaasahang Ama.

Pangatlo, salamat din sa mga lalakeng hinangaan, hinahangaan at hahangaan ko.
(mga individual na hindi na kailangan pangalanan)
Dahil sa contribution nyong inspirasyon.
Sa mga natutunan kong bago.
Sa drama ng tunay na buhay.
Sa mga pangarap.
Sa moments.
Sa pagiging kaibigan, tatay at special all at the same time.
Magaling mga Papi!
Wag na masyado isipin sina Papa P. at yung sikat ngayon na si Channing Tatum.
(pero crush ko pa rin sila)
You're fine.
Maswerte nga ako sa inyo
Pero shempre mas maswerte kayo sa'kin. ;)
Kaya ang Tunay Na Lalake, may bilib sa sarili at isang maasahan na inspirasyon sa buhay
and hopefully, isang araw habang-buhay.

Para sa Manila

Maganda pa rin naman ang Manila ngayon
Mas maganda nga lang siya dati
Masaya kung mairerestore nila lahat ng lumang building
Mga lumang tanggapan, tanghalan, sinehan, paaralan, ahensya, simbahan, atbp
Maayos pag may ilaw ang lahat ng kalye
Makakapaglakad ako ng maayos pag gabi
Makakapag-bisikleta
Mag d-drive
Marami rin pala akong alam na daan sa Manila
Malaki, maliit, masikip, malapad
Madaming tao, onting tao
Matrapik, hindi trapik
Madilim, maliwanag, malinis, marumi
Makulay ang daan pauwing Manila
Maaaliw ka kakatingin
Madaming papasok sa isip mo
May matutunan ka sa sandaling pagdaan mo
Mapapangiti ka ng Manila

a very famous question

Why do people break up?

To me, "the break up" is something like a milestone on a project.
I'm not saying couples are bound to get to that, i'm saying it's there.
We all hope not to get there.
Projects run short or long depending on its specifics.
They can be extended.
New team mates go on board.
A need for lots of extra work.
Sometimes, projects are even on hold.
One way or another, a project will go on or end.
A lot will happen in between
So, when you still get to the point that you reach that milestone,
you know the project is finished.

Let's not depend on time in deciding over a project's coarse.
The man hours rendered does not necessarily equate to a reason to continue.
There are times that you become unfit for the job and you know it.
Everyone will hate the villian.
Still, don't settle.
Never too late.
No one wants unfinish projects.
Not every project needs to be redesign again.
There is a choice.
Decisions will be made.
Whatever they maybe,
it should be for the project's future.

(Anyway, i hope my friend knows what she's doing before the window closes.)

expectation vs. hope

When does hope become an expectation?
Or is it the other way around?
Can you pick one and promise that it won't lead to the other?
Would you rather expect first then hope later
or hope now and expect soon?

If i may answer and i'm not preaching.
I've always chose to hope, first.
It does look a lot like expectation to some but that's their expectation too.
Don't worry. It's not for all.
We should know when and where to expect.

Maybe some people don't hope for things nor expect anything.

"I don't get why people are able to just sit and take things as they are.
But then again, i know they are also wondering why can't i just sit and take things as they are."

All is fair.

when he smiles

look at that face
that grin
can't really tell what
it maybe a smirk for all i know
or an involuntary muscle
a defect maybe
whichever would be similar to the word
like he's trying to be smooth
keeping it cool
being amazing
and just waiting there for you to see it.
of coarse, yes!
i like it when he smiles.

moments

Ayon sa status ng kaibigan ko:
"When you can enjoy a moment you should enjoy it well."

Tama yan.
Pero.. (shempre may pero)
Onting paalala kaibigan.
Minsan kasi yang "can enjoy" part at "enjoy it well" part debatable, dadating yung time na di mo na alam kung enjoyin mo ba talaga o hinde.
Baka naman ikaw lang nag-eenjoy.
Hindi dapat selfish ang bagay na yan.
Pero mananalo pa rin ang go for the gold idea. Masaya e.
Then ang dating moment ay momentS na ngayon.
Tapos malalaman mo na, may di ka pa pala gets tungkol sa moment na yan.

"When you can't enjoy a moment, you should not enjoy it."


Ingat tayo sa moments. Pwedeng hindi select all. :)

sabi ko nga

Sabi ko nga, sometimes we fear to start things.
Don't worry that's ok.
The world can take it.
It's not that we fear beginnings,
It's just that some things, we don't have to start alone.
Some things, should be done -- together.

titanic

bakit nga ba minsan may mga bagay na alam na natin pero nagppretend tayo as if hindi natin alam?
dahil ba baka this time, maiba naman?
baka this time, iba yung mangyari?
baka sa delayed telecast, panalo si Pacquiao.
well, siguro yun nga.
kahit kabaliwan yun, gaya ng sabi ni Einstein, gusto pa rin natin minsan yung paulit-ulit.
Malay mo mag-work.
Pero kids, tandaan natin na hindi yan para sa lahat ng bagay.
Masaya naman manuod ng replay basta manunuod lang.

laptop o iphone

Di masyadong busy kanina,
May oras ako para sa mahaba-habang kwentuhan.
Isang session muli ng Guy Talk (usapang tungkol sa Guy mula sa Guy)
May 3 katanungan akong tinanong, sinagot naman niya.

- Mahirap daw talaga mamili lalo na kapag ang pagpipilian ay gaya ng laptop o iphone. Parehas mo kailangan. Parehas mo gusto. Pero sa huli, dapat ka pa ring pumili.
(Eh kung, may laptop na siya)

- Nasa kanya na ngayon kung gusto niya pa rin ng iphone. May mga promos, discounts at kung anu-anong freebies na ang lumabas, magkakaron siya nun kung gusto niya.
(Agree.)

- Bawal na syang pabalik-balik sa tindahan para sa iphone kung alam naman nyang hindi sya bibili. Paulit-ulit yung sales lady.
(Tama.)


Ang galing ng naisip nyang metaphor.
Usapang lasing na yung sumunod.
Uwian na.

same same but different

funny when you see something and think it's history repeating
persons, situations, things.
maybe universe is trying to tell you a message
or not
if someone up there can just come down here, talk and explain
no connection should be linked
but you know you can't help but think
there's a lot of other people that could do the same thing
so universe, why not pick them and have them do it?
why do you let the same things repeat infront of me?
is this my fault?
why?!?!


Moral Lesson: Ok. Don't go back there, regina.

moral lesson

Ang palagi kong sinasabi ay:

Life is never complicated enough.

Ngayon, naisip ko na kulang sya

Life is never complicated enough,
pero simple lang dapat ang life.

Yun lang po. Tapos na po.

truth or consequence

people expect many many things in life
and learn from it
like failures and success
it may influence,
or inspire them
or it may not matter
it's normal
people are in constant search for something
looking for something new
as if they're bored always
people asks for the truth
but don't know what to do with it
people always want change
when things go wrong
yet sometimes people don't know how to handle what they wish for.

maybe a little consideration,
don't make it too hard always, universe.


(anyway i did say, i have lots of drafts)

the explanation

first, this might sound crazy
i admit it.
i love you first.
how you make me happy?
it's weird. really.
in the beginning,
i don't know how to call the feeling
or maybe i don't want to call it at all
because we're just friends
a nice wall was in place until
the unexplainable things
that i decided i wanted a door

second, sorry for the cheese
when you love someone
of coarse, you should be with them
tell them a corny joke once in a while,
wish they remember it everyday
write about them and call them names,
hopefully they get it
see them on their birthdays,
christmas and new year
smile on their weirdness
remember the small things you don't get from each other
try to read the book they like and wonder why they like it
download their songs and make a mixed tape
build wishlist from notebooks and check them together
even when i already knew we can't.

third, the plot continues
guess that's the reason that i'm
confusing
constant debate on what to do is in my head.
no OFF button was included.
random crying
tried to keep myself busy
fill up the timeline and do other stuff
thought i could maybe ignore things
but i can't.

fourth, perhaps a resolution
i know i can't make it go away instantly
and make everything right
so, yes im avoiding you
but i will have to get back to you some other time
maybe when i have that OFF button.
i learned a lot from you.
i told you that before.
i still wish i can meet your good job Lola.
sorry for the delay of this explanation
i'm on indefinite leave, Sir.


fifth, here goes why
(Harry of Harry Met Sally said:
"Because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody you want to start the rest of your life as soon as possible.")

small small world

have you seen how small it is?
i keep bumping into people that are somehow connected to you
keep finding new songs that tells the same story
keep hearing that name without asking (you got a very common name)
like the song,
always something there to remind me
on repeat mode
no matter how far
how long
how busy
how fast
how different the path i take
couldn't make this world any bigger
so, i guess
until we meet again


(been keeping all these drafts. time to post. coming up next, "the explanation")

leonor rivera

i never really knew her
so i searched
her, him and him & her
then i read what she did
what she did to the letters that Rizal gave her
they say she burned them
hem the ashes to her wedding gown
or her burial gown
as a reminder of a love that can't be
tricked to marry a man
who's a stranger to her heart
mother of two
died young
i paused
overwhelmed by her story
then sadness
they said she was his great love
so the question is, to be or not to be leonor rivera?
i choose. . .

Daddy and me

 

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

rewrite

Once upon a time, i made a short wishlist for two.
Yesterday, i accepted that they were unachievable.
Today, i rewrite.

in your shoes

why are you doing this?
what are you doing?
anything you're looking for?
do you need something?
you do this
it's not funny
you keep sticking around
but like a stranger
i don't understand that
you should go
don't have to be here
go home
you can stop coming back

make it happen

we all develop a certain kind of addiction
we can't seem to let go off
undeniably, we became dependent to that certain idea
like an inception
and we wait
we wait until we satisfy the addiction
we all wait for something
guess, it's hard not to
there's always a number of reason why we should wait
by numbers, it's a winner
no wrong in waiting
we should take all the time we need
yet we can't forget
the addiction
like a cancerous disease
it creeps up on us
we can always choose to not wait
change plans
do a rewrite
make it happen

amazing race

since madalas di ko naman maintindihan si Sir
at for sure wala naman paliwanag kay google
minsan nagtatanong din ako
sa ibang tao
malay ko kung sila may explanation
may times kc na kailangan mo nun eh
anyway, tingin ko kasi magkaugali sila sa parts na yun
baka magkakilala sila nung past life nila (haha)
sabi nya, wag ko naman daw i-off. wag naman akong maging cold.
masakit din daw sa knila kasi invested din sila kahit papano at kung pareho nga sila ng iniisip...
ginagawa nila yun dahil isa pala itong unahan.
kesa maunahan pa raw sila sa paglayo.
hmmm.
medyo malabo ang intindi ko dun pero parang malinaw na rin.
parang ngayon mas nagets ko na sya kahit papano.
may race pala akong nasalihan at huling-huli na ko
pero kung ganun hahayaan ko na lang siya ngayon
ang finish line naman ay start line din
so dito lang muna ako tatambay.
maniwala man sya o hinde,
wala akong lakad.
malinaw yan a. ;)

mahabang jeepney ride

Sira ang LRT
kaya nauwi sa jeep
byaheng Gil Puyat - Monumento
P20 na pala ang bayad
nagmamadali sana ako makarating ng bahay
pero hinde
andami ko pa sana gagawin
pero hinde
nakinig ako ng radyo para maiba
inabutan ko si Jojo
Si Jojo ay isang guest sa Boys Night Out
sawi sa pag-ibig ang kwento niya
ngayon sikat na sya
laftrip tong si Jojo
may matutunan ka rin sa kanya kahit papano
well ganun lang talaga ang buhay
minsan sira ang LRT ang choice mo ay mag-jeep
minsan magiging radio DJ ka at
taga-payo sa lab kahit hirap ka mag-english
minsan wala ka lang magawa at maiisipan mong tumawag sa radio station para magpacute lang o baka magpapansin
kung ano man ang dahilan para sa mga bagay bagay
wala na tayo dun
gawin mo na ang gusto mong gawin
minsan ayoko ng rin isipin
pigilin natin, paka-busy ka
mag generate ka ng sarili mong fun sabi nga ni Ramon Bautista
itulog mo o kaya itweeter mo si Jojo
sure, wala yan.

(Sa sobrang kaantokan ko kagabi, di ko pala napublish. Wala kong nagawang assignment at late na ko ngayon. Haha.)

May fun sa mahabang jeepney ride.

"Pride goes by if buried, six feet under the ground"

drowning

everytime i breathe
i take you in
and my heart beats again
maybe i can't help it
i keep on drowning in your love

everytime i try to rise above
i'm swept away by love
maybe i can't help it
i keep on drowning in
your love.

ridiculous

i'm not sure why i get a teary feeling when going to church
maybe because i know exactly what im going to say
exactly like the last time
i hope to be discussing something else
but i already know that's not gonna happen
it get's boring after a while
i know
like an annoying broken record
or talking to a mirror
that's why i stop asking a long long time ago
and live it be
focus on being thankful
but then again,
still, i get so emotional.

a normal life

wake up at 8
business office by 10
lunch at 12
second office at 5
out by 9
random gimiks, 10 onwards
bed by 1
weekends at home
tv on saturdays
chores on sunday
internet in between
photos and artworks
movie time with family
accoustic session with sis
hangout with friends
occassional roadtrips
polaroids with lover
the coolest wedding ever
cozy home
interior design decisions
2-3 kids
n grand kids
and a classic family picture
why not?



all i ask and pray for is
a chance on a normal life.
i can do the rest.

skip train

on that ledge behind the yellow line
i wait
for the next train to take me
sometimes i even make a run for it
or choose to missed it
what i hate is when it skips
passes right by and ignores me
once
twice
sometimes more
i don't know when
i don't know why
or how long
be patient
it's annoying
but that's his job
the train has to skip
skip skip skip
until it doesn't
until it's ready to take me
so i learned to take the moment
forget everything
and enjoy the short ride,
after the long wait
unfair but i get used to it
just like every ordinary passenger.

changes

Been a year
Got a new one ahead of me
If there is one thing i really learned,
that is to let go
Let go, reg.
It's a new year.
