A trip down memory lane

28th Jul 2010 by Chris

Sa totoo lang, wala kang dapat ipagmayabang dahil wala ka pa sa kalingkingan ng pagiging ina ng nanay ko sa amin!

That’s me, imagining the worst line I wanna deliver to the biggest b*tch of them all.. and I’m daydreaming.

I’ve been too tired, and it felt like I’m punishing myself at work. I needed to attend to some personal matters that really matter. Today, I thought of throwing stuff away. Yeah, I like to throw stuff away. Its a new habit that I have suddenly formed out of the Ondoy experience. The whole tragic experience brought me to an understanding how life can be short and that there are far too many things that should be experienced.

I lost a lot of things that were very important to me that time. I’m quite a sentimental person, but in the end, when Ondoy washed them away, I learned something important. VERY IMPORTANT. Its that life isn’t about the material things that you think matter to you, but the memories that you have for each event, each page of your life.

Some of the most painful things I had to throw away were books. Imagine how loudly I screamed when I saw my whole cart of books swimming inside the house! And it even included my precious yearbook (wherein, I dearly hate the editor for editing my eight-worded self description–as if she ever understood about individuality! Gaaahh, I’m so not talking about it here and now.. hmph!!!). It had a whole collection of best seller books I haven’t even touched in years, yet I kept promising myself I ever will complete reading them all. more…

To become a woman

26th Apr 2010 by Chris

To become a woman is hard
You work hard to earn your own so you can be independent and self-sufficient
You workout to keep a slender figure, and complete your confidence
You train yourself to be intelligent so you will never be left behind
You join workshops to stay sane and have fun
You remind yourself about groceries, birthdays, special occasions, etc
You don’t forget your bills no matter how busy you are
You pick the clothes you wear to make sure they highlight your physical appeal
You practice smiling because thats what attracts friends and goodness
You moderate your food intake to stay healthy
You pray heartily to thank God every morning and night
You make your partner happy and content and proud all the time
You do your chores diligently because you exercise cleanliness
You make time for your pet and your family because without them, you are less loved
You come to work and give it your best everyday because you gain experience and friends from it

With all these things, though challenging, its always fun to become a woman. I’m loving each day of my life.

Smile

17th Feb 2010 by Chris

The song is inspiring. Heard it at 96.3 while I was working.

Artist: Uncle Kracker
Title: Smile

You’re better then the best
I’m lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that’s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it’s ok, yeah it’s ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Even when you’re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

Don’t know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

The lessons we can’t deny

9th Feb 2010 by Chris

I’ve been through many ups and downs. But I can say I’ve never been to so much pain and crying in my life as I have experienced in the last six months of my life. I don’t ever want to go back and reminisce any of them anymore. With all these things, its still undeniable that things happen for a reason. If there is just one thing I could ever believe in, there are things in life that we do not choose for ourselves, but they do happen nonetheless, and somehow, even if you run away from them, they have a way of finding themselves back to you until you take it. more…

If my thoughts can be contained here..

19th Nov 2009 by Chris

If my thoughts can be contained here, I would say everything. I would share everything. I would spill my emotions.

What can I say? What can I do? I feel like I want to escape. Live alone and let the world be.

I don’t want to be depressed. I want to be alive, I want to be me. I want to be free. The world has put blocks on me. On me, and in me. I can’t find that I am really at peace with myself and the rest of the world.

No, this is not a suicide note. more…

A love that was in my head

4th Nov 2009 by Chris

I fell in love with a celebrity.

I thought the only way out of pain was to feel joy. The love was the bonus part. I fell in love and it took me out of pain.

How could it be that he was physically beautiful in my eyes? I loved his hair, I loved his eyes. I loved his color, I loved his physique. His height, his smile, his voice. Could you be my angel? Yes and No.

I came to you at the wrong time, at the wrong lifetime. You were the stranger I needed to wake me up. Your love was the strangest of all. It was a mixture of pain and delight. I’m like the little girl who was taken by the stranger holding a beautiful balloon. Struck in awe and obedient in amazement. more…

I thank all who have loved me in their hearts

29th Oct 2009 by Chris

I thank all who have loved me in their hearts
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I thank all who have loved me in their hearts,
With thanks and love from mine. Deep thanks to all
Who paused a little near the prison-wall
To hear my music in its louder parts
Ere they went onward, each one to the mart’s
Or temple’s occupation, beyond call.
But thou, who, in my voice’s sink and fall
When the sob took it, thy divinest Art’s
Own instrument didst drop down at thy foot
To harken what I said between my tears, . . .
Instruct me how to thank thee! Oh, to shoot
My soul’s full meaning into future years,
That they should lend it utterance, and salute
Love that endures, from life that disappears!
