Sinking Stones

I know it's my own fault and I'm sorry. But I'm more sorry for me. I could have. I really could have, couldn't I?

But I could only heave a sigh now. A long, drawn out sigh. On the other hand, I could still smile and even laugh as I shake my head. At least I could still do both.

Well, as they say, "Ces't la vie." And as we say, "Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be." You know, we really ought to give credit to that song's composer.

I could still smile when you smile. I could still laugh when you laugh. But there's something new I could do now. I could let it go and let you be happy.

Don't worry about me. I can still be happy. I choose to be happy. And it's not like I'm gone or you're gone. I'm still going to be just around.

Take care, my friend.

I should've known, stones could only skip for so long.

    Awww... finally a sequel to "skipping stones" kaso sad.

    Haaayyy.. ganun naman eh, we just have to choose to be happy. Yakang-yaka naman 'yon. Goodluck.

    ^ hehe. if i'm right, it was gidge who first broached the idea. And now, my friend insists that 'this' is what's happening: quarter life crisis. haha.

    maybe that's the "something."

    Hehe. Thanks, Donna. At wag ka mag-alala. Di mo ko kailangan sabihan na ingatan ko puso ko (siyet yan ang power lines! hehe). I have lots of "happiness" reserves, gusto ko lang mag dramatics once in a while. haha.

    hehe. yun kasi sabi ng friend ko sakin kagabi. sabi ko nga sa kanya di ako naniniwala sa ganon. hehe.

    siguro mas magandang i-address ito as: meron lang akong need na kailangan irelease. haha.

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. ...
