20 things
I can't sleep -- and to waste time, I am sharing the top 20 things about me. Some are known by most people, some only by my closest friends.
Nothing trivial -- i just feel like writing. Spur of the moment perhaps.
1. I am addicted to music > literally. There were very few occasions that I slept without music. Maybe during retreats, or during antioch weekends when I need to sacrifice something. When I was away and share rooms with other friends, I use my celfon or my ipod. Without music, I get nightmares. I swear.
2. I have a comfort blanket. Pink. But it has nothing to do with the color. It's the texture. Something I can rub my feet before I sleep.
3. I am a lotion addict. I am restless without it. Only few close friends share the same thing with me, and they can only understand. Hehehehe.
4. I am poor at sports, but I love watching them.
5. I will never get tired of having coffee with my friends. Get thoughts from them and let them hear mine.
6. For me, wave89.1 is still the best station.
7.It takes me 10 minutes to take a bath.
8. Lately, I have managed to get the courage to clean the clutter. But it took a lot of effort to differentiate what has to be thrown away and what has to be kept.
9. I want to start reading Twilight. It will be my next project.
10. I haven't continued watching prison break. I don't know why.
11. Mornings are when I feel the strongest. Late nights I feel the weakest.
12. There was a time when I loved sunsets. And there came a time when I just can't look at it anymore. It depresses me big time.
13. The best sunrise I saw was -- 2 hours before landing home. Breath taking.
14. I am a Bo Sanchez fanatic. I believe everything he says.
15. When I was young, I kept a list of "things I need to achieve before I die". I can't find that list anymore. I don't know why.
16. I have been looking endlessly for the Runaway Bride soundtrack. Until know, I cannot find one.
17. Here are my frustrations: singing, painting, drawing, figure skating, playing good music on the piano.
18. Maybe I won't get tired of watching La Salle-Ateneo games.
19. My best stress reliever -- washing the dishes.
20. A song that I felt was written to describe me -- A Warrior is a Child.
It's time to sleep.

Waiting
There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What advantage has the worker from his toil? I have considered the task which God has appointed for men to be busied about. He has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into their hearts, without men’s ever discovering, from beginning to end, the work which God has done.
During one of those spare times, a thought hit me.
That we spend most of our time waiting --
Waiting in line
Waiting for the coffee
Waiting for lunch
Waiting for weekends
Waiting for a text message
Waiting for a call
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for sunshine
Waiting for sunset
Waiting for a ride
Waiting for another chance
Waiting to get tired
Waiting for miracles
Waiting for the questions
Waiting for the answers
Waiting in vain..
Perhaps, it is but human nature to wait for something better, to anticipate for another day, another chance, another sunshine.
And maybe, if we would look into another perspective, waiting teaches us good lessons too. On patience. On understanding. On faith. On hope. On surrender.
And just as the passage above holds true -- that there is time for everything -- maybe, there is nothing wrong in waiting. As long as we do not lose hope, and we keep the faith that soon... the wait will be over

Sem-break!
It's been 2 weeks -- enough time that i gave myself in pinas to finally be back in circulation!
It has been a good 2 weeks for me -- spent most of my time at home, enjoying Angel's kisses, eating my comfort foods, catching up with the usual tv shows I missed -- bottomline, getting back on the simple doses of life's little delights...
***************************************************************************
August 30 2008 -- the Fort Open grounds -- Me, badot, hyds,
len and mund were lucky enough to secure tickets for the most awaited Eheads reunion concert.. For most people our age, this is once in a lifetime, and a spectacular event every "90's-teen" shouldn't miss! Well, melodramatic as it may sound, but Eraserheads has been more than a "band" to our generation -- they practically became part of our lives during our younger years.. They were legends! For avid fans like me, this reunion concert has long been overdue --
It was almost 6 years after they disbanded, and you could imagine how crazy and unbelievably giddy the crowd felt when the screen flashed a 10-minute countdown! It was like new year's eve! Everyone stood up, shouting everytime the timer came close to 00:00.. The crowd's energy was unbelievable when finally -- Ely came up the stage and sang Alapaap. I had goosebumps!
It was as if doing a trip back to memory lane, everyone was singing along, absorbed in our own eraserheads' worlds!
It was sad though that the concert had to be cut short because Ely had to be rushed to the hospital. Well, at first we thought that it was some kind of gimmick, or maybe, we were just in denial that this can't be happening! They haven't even sang the most beautiful songs yet! But when the promoter spoke, asking for a moment of prayer, it started sinking in. The night has to come to an end, unexpectedly.
Me and my friends were so frustrated we were just silent the whole time. It was an unfortunate event, and no one wanted it to happen... just so, we were still glad that we were able take part on that once in a lifetime event--something that might not happen again.
***************************************************************************
Usual sunday routine --
Mass, lunch, ASAP, town center, coffee.
When I was in brazil, I can't count the times I imagined myself doing this sunday routine again... and today, my heart was filled with joy for having spent my sunday with len and badot, doing exactly what we were doing before.. I knew it, some things just don't change. we didn't see each other for six months, but the comfort they give my spirit is overwhelming. The stories were endless, the laughters were contagious. Truly, I have to thank heavens that I am showered with good friends. They fill my soul. They give warmth to my spirit. They saw right through me, and they loved me still.
**************************************************************************
I don't know still until when I will be staying here.
But even if I have to admit that there were moments of anxiety -- I am still enjoying every minute of my stay.
This is home! And I am still on my sem-break :)

touch down pinas!
I left Brazil at sunset.
I arrived Philippines at sunrise.
What a wonderful circumstance!
It's good to be home. Well, good is an understatement... I have been away for 6 months, and there was nothing more exciting when I heard the plane's wheels made the 'touch down'.. Pinas! I am home!
I missed this place. And even if there are a lot of ugly things to say about this country, I have never imagined settling down to another place other than here.
It has only been a week since I came home, and I am still re-charging. But, even with the little time spent here, I have done some of the things I have longed wanted to do ---
-- eat century tuna. have milo on the table when I wake up. get a massage. share long overdue stories. get kisses from angel.
It's amazing how simple things could fill my heart with so much joy. Without much effort. :)

3 weeks
It's a good Saturday in Rio. Jaja and I just arrived home, after the usual laundry day at Barra Bella. I sit here, in the usual spot, overlooking rio's beauty, with the sun opening its rays over the cariocas, and the birds keep on dancing with their carefree trance.
Maybe, the time has come. New doors are opening, people are moving forward, and I can feel the changes through my bones.
I came here february, and people started coming too. It was as if Brazil has opened up its doors to people like us -- peope who are looking for better chances, people who have different yet the same reasons for going out abroad and riding the big waves of risk-taking.
I made friends, and I know that I will forever be thankful that God did not leave me a single minute in this crazy world.
I was able to meet most of my dearest friends too. Who would have ever thought that the conversations at the 5th floor canteen became reality? Our dream of meeting each other in Brazil was once a far a way dream -- up to the point that we thought it might be hopeless, since the world is supposed to be big. But heavens heard our prayers, and even if we are not in the same city now, we were given the means of meeting up each other to exchange long overdue stories.
I might have succeeded in adapting to this new city, embracing slowly the comforts it offer. I cling on to the core of my being, constantly reminding myself that even if I am a day behind from the place I called home, I know I can survive.
My stay in this big city will have to end soon -- at least for now. I know that I need to go back, to get strength again, to re-charge and to take a little rest. Anyway, my leaving has long been overdue.
Three weeks left for me, and I can't help but anticipate and hold my breath to the little surprises that may come. Jaja will be leaving tomorrow for Brasilia, one thing I never pre-empted a few months back. The rest of the usual main-stays in Rio are out for field, and the uncertainty of seeing them before I leave is reality. But just as I always say, life will always be like that. It gives you surprises, and at some point it will shake a little of your senses. But at the end of the day, I know that all will be well. I may not be able to say goodbye to them personally, but I hope that they are all so dear to me. Besides, they kept me sane. We kept each other sane.
And now, as I drink the last sip of my coffee, I feel rio's warmth and tenderness.
I smile, even if I know that there will be changes, I am certain that everyone of us will be fine. And soon, someday, we will all meet again.
