Sarah's

Marahil ay hindi kumpleto ang buhay estudyante ko kung wala ang Sarah’s. Isang kahunghangan kung ni isang beses di ako pumunta dito. Ang Sarah’s lang marahil ang lugar sa UP Diliman campus na nagpapadama sa akin ng essence ng UPLB campus, ang essence ng inumang walang humpay. Kaya naman di ako masyadong naho-homesick noon.

 Parang UPLB din ang atmosphere sa Sarah’s. Napakasimple ng disenyo ng lugar, samu’t-saring mga lamesang gawa sa kahoy o semento ang nakakalat dito. Nakapalibot naman sa mga lamesa ang mga monoblock chairs o kaya’y mga bangko kung saan ang mga Isko at Iska mula sa iba’t-ibang kolehiyo ng Unibersidad ay nakaupo at nakabilog.

 Pati presyo ng alak, presyong probinsya. Para sa mga katulad kong di mahilig sa mga bar, kung saan di makatarungan ang presyo ng beer, Sarah’s is the place to be pag nasa Diliman area. Malayo na ang mararating ng isang daan mo.

 Hindi masyadong maingay sa Sarah’s dahil residential ang palibot, bawal ang sobrang ingay. Pinapagalitan ka nila ate Emma pag maingay ka. Wala din masyadong mga burgis dahil karamihan ng nandoon ay mga anak-pawis. Karamihan pa ng nandon ay estudyante ng Unibersidad kaya alam mong may sense sila kausap.

 Pag nandon na ang tropa at nakabilog na sa lamesa tuloy-tuloy na ang saya. Minsan magkakantahan pa. Parang pamilya na ang turing sa mga tagapamahala’t serbidora. Kung gabi-gabi ka pa don, kilala ka na ng lahat.

 Sarah’s napakalaking puwang ang pinunan mo sa aking pagkatao. Isa ka sa mga dahilan kaya okay lang na di na ako nag-transfer sa eLBi. Nandyan ka naman eh. Kaya naman kahit ngayon, panay pa din ang balik ko sayo.

Subalit, hanggang ngayon di ko pa din kilala kung sino si Sarah.

I'm half gay. That makes me 1/4 female.

(Inspired by a conversation with Angge last Sunday and Jeco's Guilty Pleasures.) That's what I told people back in college when they asked me why I was the way I was. Now, I conveniently tell people, "Mass Comm ako eh," to explain why I can appreciate the clothes worn by the characters in Sex and the City The Movie. But those are just excuses. They say it's being in touch with my feminine side. Well, whatever. I read Sweet Valley Twins and Sweet Valley High back in elementary school along with my Marvel and DC comics. I never got into that Hardy Boys bit though. I played and still play basketball, tatsing, habulan, luksong baka, soccer and other physical sports. But I also played and would probably still play 10-20 and Chinese garter. I've cried and will probably still cry in some movies (Patch Adams immediately comes to mind) and have voluntarily watched my fair share of chick flicks. But I didn't flinch during the battle scenes of Braveheart and haven

Adventure update

After a week it seems that, aside from me and Frank, no one else could commit to a November 30 trip. We kinda forgot that most of our media practitioner friends do not have holidays and often have work on Saturdays. Therefore, we have decided to reschedule the trip. However, kami naman ang di pwede ng December 2, which is when most of you can go. Hehe. In any case, paguuntugin muna namin ulit ni Frank ang ulo namin to come up with a schedule and itinerary that will benefit the most people (note: most, hindi lahat, as we have agreed that it's impossible to please everybody). we will inform you ASAP what we come up with. Oks ba yon? Maraming salamat. :) Meanwhile, Tarra has an outstanding invitation to watch Enchanted. Anyone want to watch a movie? Moreover, I heard through the grapevine that Tarra is going to organize an Enchanted Kingdom trip. Di ba Tarra? Hehe.

Inanities

You told me to sit still. And I tried and did for a while. But then a twitch and an itch happened. And stillness eluded me. So go back to being still, you said. But running and jumping seemed so fun. I thought you'd get angry but you just watched. Aren't you going to stop me? I asked. A simple no you uttered. You're free to do what you want, you said. So I ran and I jumped and turned cartwheels and all. And I felt free. I felt light. I felt right. Then I got tired and my jump became a skip. My run became a walk. And I turned to you and asked, May I sit once more? You smiled and pointed beside you. My child, your spot has been waiting for you Until you have chosen to sit once more. That's what you said. And I walked towards you, With your hand you reached out. Sit here with me, you said. Sit and be still. And I tried and I did. And rest came to soothe my weariness. And balance asked if it may sit with me. And you smiled. And I felt free. I felt light. I felt right.
