Ang hirap kasi kapag hindi mo na alam ang gagawin mo sa buhay. Kung saan ba patungo ang biyaheng ito. Ang hirap din kasi ikaw lang ang nakakaintindi sa sarili. Pero ang mas masaklap pa kapag hindi mo na nga alam ang gagawin mo, hindi mo pa kilala ng lubusan ang sarili mo.
Siguro lahat tayo naranasan na ‘to. ‘Yung feeling na para ka ng nasa dead end. Nahaharap ka sa isang pader na alam mong wala ng mayroon sa kabilang banda. No choice ka kasi kailangan mo na naman bumalik para subukan ang ibang daan.
Minsan, hindi lang pala minsan. Madalas naiisip ko pwede na lang ba akong mawala dito sa lugar na ‘to? Gusto kong umalis dito at pumunta sa ibang lugar. Sana makapaglakbay ako. Hahanapin ko ang sarili ko. Baka wala dito sa Pampanga.
“Nawawala ako. Palutang-lutang lang. Bahala na kung saan ako dalhin ng hangin.”

clouded mind, restless soul.
Oh yeah, that’s right. Just like what I always say, it’s your choice don’t blame it on destiny.
She’s with her boyfriend, riding on a jeepney. She’s just right behind the driver’s back when suddenly she noticed the lines on the road. It might be enticing to look at how the jeep glides through the road but suddenly she had realized something. That is we are the driver of our own jeep. We got so many roads to take. Sometimes you’ll drive smoothly. But sometimes you also get bumpy rides.
And because of all of these realizations, my friend and I came with this: we think our life is going nowhere. No sense at all. I thought I was just the one who’s thinking this way but surprisingly, she’s experiencing this too.
Even on Sundays, my favorite day of the week, it’s becoming less and less fruitful. Four years ago every time I go to the church, there’s this excitement that again I’ll be able to serve God in my own way. But now, ashamed and alarmed as I was, I’m beginning to think that my relationship with God is coming to that thin thread where faith is already slipping. I don’t like that! I mean, I’m afraid if that will happen. It’s as if it’s all becoming a habit. No deeper feelings attached.
I enjoy walking by myself; it may be in the mall or on my way home. That process helps me to be self aware. I think more. I battle with my inner self. But I don’t think it’s enough.
I want to find myself. I want to seek my purpose. I want to know if I’m going anywhere. I need to get together with God again. Maybe in the future I would just give the wheel to Jesus and just go with Him. He knows everything. I’m in the safe hands.

what if?
what if i've seen the world?
will it open my heart,my eyes?
or will i be disappointed 'cause it's not what i thought it was?
what if i've walked through life?
what if i've traveled by feet?
will the path i'm choosing will lead me to that place?
or will it drag me to a dead end?
what if i swam the sea?
what if i dive and glide with the dolphins?
will it bring me to a calm river?
or will its wave splash me to the sharks?
what if i've flew in the skies?
what if i've soared with the birds?
will the air bring me to a nest?
or will the wind blows and turn into a hurricane?
what if i've floated in the space?
what if i dangle there like the stars?
will i found my own galaxy?
or will i stay in the nothingness forever?
contrary and beyond
Simple truths turn to complicated lies
Tranquility felt, clatter now sensing
Organized then chaos.
Antonyms, every experiences
Closed eyes, open and wondering later
Smile afterward, then frown the next
Sitting like no other, get bored and walk away.
Contradicting beings
North and the south of the magnet
The east and west of the compass
Intersection point guaranteed.
Difficult pulling strings together
Maximized effort required
Best tool? Center of entirety
Knowing from within
This beginning to end meeting middle.

moon of the sun.
He is the sun.
I am the moon.
He can shine on his own.
I could do with his brightness.
He has his own warmth.
I need his heat.
He is conspicuous.
I can be concealed.
He is vast.
I am little.
He is everything.
And I am nothing.
Without him, I won’t exist.
Without me, he can live.
Isn’t pathetic?
He exists fairly on his own.
He can survive without aid.
When every part of me screams for his protection.
Every gist of my subsistence calls for him.
I am just his shadow.
And never will I be his light.
He will always be my sun.
And forever will I be the moon.
The Moon, not entirely his.
And the Sun, selfishly mine.

inevitable, i guess.
They say life is full of twists.
You go right; it will bring you to the opposite direction.
You go forward, but it seems it drags you back.
It’s as if no matter what you do, no matter how you try, it won’t let you go to that path you want without facing the worst.
Without you feeling hopeless.
Sometimes life will make you experience every possible wrong turns.
Yet, many will find their way back.
Many will discover the right track.
But some will get stranded.
Some will be trying to move ahead but can’t go on.
Yes, life is so curious.
It can bring sufferings, it can also bring injustice.
But these must not be the reasons to stop, to give up.
It can be difficult, it can be chaotic.
Someone must be strong.
Someone must be able to bounce back.
Someone must know the rhythm of the song, the steps of the dance, and the lines of the poem.
Someone must be able to follow the current of the river.
For all of these have to happen.
For people to understand their existence.
For them to finally reach the ends of the world.
And for them to finally be at the place they ever dreamed of.

exhibit A of a fickle minded person.
You’re probably saying to yourself as you read this that if I really hate those things, why am I providing this "emoness" then? hah! I really don't know. I can be charlatan sometimes you know.
I don't know if this has something to do with my being 19 already. I’m pressuring myself to do extreme things, those things outside of my box, to make the most out of my last teenage year. Oh yes, I want to know my confines and surpass the expectations of the people around me. I don't want to think that I was born to feel pressured, to think that others are expecting too much from me. Hell! Give me a break. I’m not a cyborg you know, or a robot! I’m just a young lady. I want to do things on my own will. I want to be familiar with myself even more. I want to experience the bliss of a teen life! I don't want to come to a point wherein I will regret the things that I didn't do in the time when I should have done them.
Enough of the pressure things.
Let’s talk about what I want to do this year. Hope I’ll be able to accomplish them and certainly I wish that there'll be someone or some persons who will help me in order to attain them. These are :
b. I want to go places. I want to climb the Arayat or Pinatubo. I want to experience island hopping. ahihi.
c. I want to experience night life with my friends! drink anything until I pass out! haha. 'kidding. and go home before dawn! hahaha!
d. I want to love and be loved. haha! naks!
that's all I can think of right now. but I really want to do things that are out of my character.
oh wait. how come I came up to this point of sharing my goals this year?
I thought I will write about something of the plummeting thing. the falling in love thing. the pain and bitterness associated with it. haha. I guess I diverted myself unconsciously. that's because I don't like melodramas right? aha. but really, the whole point of this blog entry is to share my inmost feeling about falling and maybe failing again.
Pardon me. I’m a little bit crazy right now. haha.

my prince with his shiny black volvo
as i have my very own basketball hero: Chris Tiu, a dreamboy with a sleek black volvo!
oh my. i'm soo happy i saw him even if i didn't get a picture with him.
but who's complaining? i still got the chance to take a glimpse of him eventhough i didn't went to Manila just to see him. he went here in our school. i'm frustrated though because i didn't hear him speak. based on the guard that i asked, he made some talk in one of our buildings, san francisco de javier at the fourth floor with i don't know who the audience is. haay. sad.
but still i got a video of him as he made his way to his volvo car. haha.
when he arrived, i didn't realize it was him who got out of the car. he's so simple. gush.
i playfully thought that i should have been bumped by him so we can get contact. but then, i'm not that type of girl. i admire him yes but i won't do anything stupid just to catch his attention. i respect him so much. i know he values his privacy. but i just can't help to take a video of him. some sort of a remembrance for me.
i hope i'll be seeing him for the next days of my life. i'll be contented just by looking at him. he has a calming effect on me. oh my, but my knees buckled when i first saw him. as if all of my energy were suck out of me. hahaha!
i won't forget this day.
december 13,2008.
he arrived at around 9:30 am and he left 11:30 am i guess.
so there. my first encounter of my dreamboy.
*yeah,for many i am so baduy. haha. i don't care!
---lingling. c;
i give up!
it's the most rational and logical thing to do.
yeah,i know I'm super weak...
haay.
about my last entry pala.
i know i suck at poetry!
gush.
ahaha.
well, i will see chris tiu naman tomorrow.
he's gonna visit our school.
so excited.
aha!
it's my best friend's debut today. but we can't get to be with her on this special day.
so sad...
but well. Happy Birthday, Sheen'Sheen!

random poems/entries while sitting in our primar class.
it's a place i can't fathom
a sudden feeling i can't control
i might be insane at this moment
i don't know if i want to fall
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my only problem is whenever i tend to like someone deeper,
something would surely make me hold back from flourishing that
feelings to something much much deeper.
(do i make sense?har)
--being so.so confused if i will continue this feelings i have for him--
he's as bright as the moon
when darkness fill in
you may see him or you may not
he's so unreachable
as any stars could be
-----------------------------------------------
he's the sun
i am a meteorite in space
every planet revolves around him
and so do i
i can't go near him
i might burn myself
i can't stay away from him
i need his warmth
he's special
i am a waste
he's very much needed
when i am not much of a help
we are in the same place
yet we function differently
he's so important
and i will be spending my life unnoticed.
--just for him. i always feel that i am not good enough for him. *sigh*
Ambiguous
she's boring
she's dry
she's moody
yet i don't know why
she's bubbly
she's sweet
she's a darling
but sometimes runs deep
she's a mess
she's complicated
she couldn't care less
though now she's wondering
she thought she know herself
she thought forever she can be like this
but now she's confused
if ever she'll find happiness soon.
--------------------------------------
for the record, i've never felt happiness in my entire life
sure there are happy moments where i laughed all the time
yet i know deep down inside of me, there lies an empty space needed to be filled.
--------------------------------------
sometimes i want to be a child sleeping in the street
all she ever mind is how to survive the day
she doesn't care about people around her as long she's gotten help from them
i wish i'm the one just receiving and not thinking what i must give in return.
--not being so contented with what's happening in my life now.--
Dearest
he's my dearest
'cause he's the only one who had dig a deep hole in my heart
he may not know this
but he left a big imprint in my life.
i want to call him my dearest
'cause he's the first person i tend to care for the rest of my existence
he may not like it
but it's the only dream i've ever hoped.
he can't be my dearest as long as i live
'cause i want to find somebody else that will make me feel loved
he may never care
but i know i'm better off without him.
--for my first love. hahaha. --
and so, that was it. i didn't listen on what my teacher is babbling. i just keep on writing and writing. i don't know. i feel a little bit left out.

a new one?perhaps...hope so?ahw.
he's another guy but i don't think he's just any other guy.
he's my only guy classmate in college that had really intimidated me. i don't know why it's like that.
as the day goes by, i find him more intriguing. i might not know him better, but i just think and think and think. i'm really confused.
i'm beginning to like someone that i don't want to like!
last night, he's on my dream. maybe that's because i thought of him before i went to sleep. gush, what's happening to me? grr.
i don't know what will become of this. i must not think about it. come what may.
go,girl! c;

why august 18, 2008 is a happy day?
But, it became a wonderful day for me when one of my best friends reminded us that it is our 3rd Anniversary as a barkada! Woah! I totally forgot that it is August 18, 2005 when we made a contract for our story and we all signed it. Oh, that was so fun.
And that's it. An important date for us the Go Go Galaxy Girls.
I love you so, my girls! muah!
Another good thing that had happened in this day was that, my "ex-crush" and I became textmates na! Haha! He said I am cute. Haha! So laret. hahahaha!
Then, the most important event that had happened for this day was when my best friend(my dear) texted me and he wants to make ammends. That was the best holiday gift ever! And so, we're okay na. Back in each other's arms na. Awh. Never felt this great. I miss that guy sooo much. And he missed me too! Haha!
*another thing that made me happy is when I saw Tiu in his new TV show. waah! I'll get to watch him once a week since I can't watch his games and his other show. haha.
*i got my new haircut too! at ystilo salon.haha.
This day is really a blessing. I can't ask for more. Thank you my Lord. muah!

August 03, 2008 Sunday
For me, a heartfelt mass comes to me rarely. Or should I say, it is just once in a while for me to enjoy and really learn from a mass. As being a choir member, I seldom feel that I’m really into what I sing. Shame, but I don’t often experience such a wonderful mass wherein I really listen in the homily and sing with my whole heart on it for God. Yeah, I’m ashamed of being like that sometimes. I always ask God for his forgiveness about all these things. *sigh*
A great factor maybe for this is the diversion my mind creates, and so as my fellow choir mates. We usually chitchat about our week whenever the priest is doing his homily. Shame on us, don’t you think? Awh.
But the rare heartfelt mass that I was mentioning came to me unexpectedly last August 03, 2008. I don’t know but maybe because of the celebrant of the mass which is my favorite priest ever, I settled myself to listen to the whole mass, participate on it, and sing as if I’m not the one who’s singing. It is a great mass indeed. I learned so many things and I felt that God is beside me, listening to my song for him. I don’t even care if I sang the wrong notes.
The priest asked us about on what we usually want to find. Money? Work? Our other half? No. it must not be like that, he said. He mentioned that what we must really find is freedom. But then, what is freedom for us? Doing what we want? Going to the place we want? No. Not really like that I think. From what he said, find freedom. You are free when you can do what you have to do. Right, isn’t it? We must not do what we just want. We are not free then. You just make those things that you want to do but you don’t have to act that way necessarily. Personally, I think I’m not free. Why? Oh, just because I cannot perform things that I have to do. I know that I need to help people in my own way but I just can’t bring up myself to accomplish it because I think I don’t have the means. And so on, and so on…
Next, find joy. Find happiness in others. Surely, you’ll be happy also. You cannot discover happiness only with yourself. Have you ever saw a person who has this big smile and sparkling eyes you can’t help but smile, too? Did you ever experience to see an elated group of people and suddenly you also feel you can jump for joy and join their feast? Oh, maybe I did experience it once or twice. But I think it’ll be great if every time I’m sad I will encounter one person who can erase my sadness.
And lastly, seek God, the true happiness and peace. Find Him at the bottom of our hearts and everything will be okay. He’s our only refuge. When you can’t find anyone else to turn to, find Him. Call Him in the middle of your darkness. Surely, He won’t turn you down. He’s the only reliable one. I do this, really. Whenever I feel alone, I’ll just talk to Him. I know He listens and that gives me comfort.
He ended the mass with his usual "assignment" that we must do for the week. And that is we must do our bucket list. Hm. I wrote 10. But I can't help but write and write more. haha.
After that mass, it elevated my feelings. I felt light. I hope I’ll experience this every Sunday. It’s a great feeling.
--shey--
just a tumble of my thoughts...
and here they are:
+i can't decide if i'll challenge myself on having a boyfriend or just stick to my studies. there's weighing of options here. pros and cons.
--if i'll have him as a boyfriend, it'll be something of an experience for me in my college life which my friends consistently trying to make me do it. but if i don't, they'll think and subconsciously i can say that yes, maybe i'll miss half of my college life if i won't have boyfriend during these days of my life. but then again, i don't think i can handle such situation. who or what will i prioritize? him or my studies? yeah, i know it must be my studies. so what's the point of asking? but then there is this what they call balancing of priorities. yeah right. i don't know if i know how to do that. hell. *sigh*
+another thing: the incoming induction night of our organization. it's a lot of work, yes. but i don't think i do much about it. i mean, it's as if i can't do anything about it. only my other officers are working. where's my contribution then? i think of myself useless. i also think that we'll gonna screw this up because our advisers have so much to say about our preparation, coordination, and communication. i always think, don't you think! harhar. i'm losing my head here.
+next is about my grades. hell, but i'm becoming a grade maniac. what's been happening to me? har. but i can't blame myself. there's so many of them that expect i can make it again this time. but another part of me says that why should i think about them? okay, i'll set them aside. but what about my self disappointment? a dilemma in here again. but come on! why do i have to think this way?! this is just sooo.
+then another one is my not being exactly a friend to my barkada. i don't know. i hardly see and be with them now. i'm even having a hard time opening up with them. waah! what's been happening to me? but i guess, this is another point in my life wherein i have to experience all these things just to make it to the next step. i love my friends, i really do. but sometimes i just don't think i'm worthy of their friendship.
+ah! another big hit! there's this someone older than me and older than my aunt whom i feel he's attracted to me! to think i just see him as a big brother. awh, he's becoming annoying and persistent. i don't think i must say rude things about him considering he had done so much for me, which is more alarming! i don't know if i'm just assuming or there's really something that can be of evidence in my theory. argh! i don't like this. i don't feel that i can handle that situation. i mean, hello? but then again, my friends tell me, "why not?" yeah right, why not...why not kayo dian! hahaha.
maybe i just think too much to the point of thinking something of no importance. maybe i'm wrong about my presumptions, more on the latter part that i've mention i guess.
haay. this is such a stressful period of my life. i just don't want to worry myself about them. what will come, will come. one day at a time.

But all the same, we’re over. It started when i texted him:

10:32:28 am 15.07.08
And that was it. This is the reality. The real turning point of my life. I've loved him for so long. But all I got were heartaches and of course unforgettable experiences. And I have to tell myself that this is the most favorable time to move on because I can no longer hope that maybe someday we can be together. Because we're sooo over now. The most beautiful and painful chapter of my life is now officially closed. :(
Well, I know I can get by. GO!
