Finding my place under the sun

“Wag ka kasing gumaya sakin, lahat na lang sinubukan.”

Somehow, that is a reflection of what I have always been. Plunging into everything and having a feel of satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

As the familiar song goes, “I wanna be a rockstar!”

And me? I wanna be a writer-judge. Yeah, in the near future.

Writing? There is so much more for that. I want to believe that right now I am in the four-tenth of earning it. I only need a book authored by myself.

I want to be a judge. I want to be the one who gives the final decision. Your honor, someday I’ll be sitting there where you are in right now.

And take note, a beautiful and young, or otherwise, youthful, judge for that matter.

Rizal, palayain mo ako!

Ako ay isang alagad at mananatiling alagad ng pluma. Pilit ipinagpapalagay na ang panulat ang susi sa kamulatan, at ang kamulatan ang magiging solusyon sa lahat. Lahat ng suliranin ay dinadaan sa panulat, kalungkutan, kaligayahan, paghahangad at kabiguan.

Pinipiga ang langis ng utak upang maisalin sa panulat ang lahat ng kaisipan at saloobin, nilalahukan ng katapatan at pagkamalikhain. Subalit sa kabila ng mabubulaklak na mga kataga, maliwanag pa sa katanghaliang masasalamin ang sinag ng katotohanan.

Rizal, palayain mo ako! Tama ba ang landas na aking tinatahak? Sa dulo ba nito’y masisilayan ko ang bukangliwayway? At aakyat sa langit, lilipad tulad ng malalayang ibon sa himpapawid?

Rizal, palayain mo ako! Di ko hangad maging bayaning tulad mo, subalit kung iyon ang nakatadhana, halina’t ibulong mo sa akin, na tama nga itong tinatahak ko, na sa dulo’y nasisilayan ko ang bukangliwayway, at tulad ng mga ibon, ay malayang lilipad sa himpapawid ng liberasyon at kamalayan.

I love you…

I love you because you bring out the best in me, and holding on to that thought, I sincerely believe that just by being with you shall bring out the best life I ever could live.
-with this I remember my OAO!

I want to be a phoenix!

“Ngayon ko lang na-realize na ang sama pala ng pakiramdam na walang patutunguhan ang life mo.” These are the words that reverberate from a late night conversation with a friend from a far away island. Truly I commented that it seems like 70% of the all people feel the same way. Hear hear?

Admittedly, I, for one. So my dear friend, you are not alone. Yet both of us are alone in search of the thing that would give meaning to our existence. Someone with whom to share the beautiful things in life, for example. And someone with whom you are going to build dreams even though the future is uncertain.

Sometimes I rather lie down and gaze up at the sky, think deeply of how life could have been made better. But seconds afterward, terrors begin to sink in, and haunt me with the mistakes I have made in the past. Hoping against hope that I would find my track back. It reflects, yes.

“Walang sense of fulfillment and purpose lahat ng ginagawa ko. People here idolize me and all, naiinis lang ako.” A follow-up to that one. Taken from Bread’s Lost Without Your Love, I am a ship without a wheel, a touch without a feel.

This happens when the things we do are not rewarding at all. And when everything does not seem to be worth a try. When all the books would not give everything we need in life. When happiness is never an inch away. When two people could have been happy together but either refuses to.

Finally, this goes out to people who have found love in their lives. Bear in mind, we’ll only know its worth when it’s gone. So cherish every moment you have, show love every chance you get. Life is too swift to let love slip away. Some people regret for the rest of their lives because of that one love they let slip away.
