the boat is sinking
When I was a kid, I always hated playing the stupid game called "the boat is sinking". The one where you have to group yourselves into the number of members the game facilitator would tell you. Gets nyo na siguro kung anong game yun diba? Lahat naman siguro tayo ay nakadalo na ng children’s party! Going back, I remember I do well on the first few rounds of the game. But when it comes to the last round, alam kong ma-a-out na ako! Naalala ko nga nung bata ako, sumali ako sa laro na yun. Tapos nakahanap na ako ng mga ka-group pero yung isang bata tinulak pa ako tapos iba yung sinama nya. Natalo natalo tuloy ako. Ewan ko ba. Basta palagi nalang ganon. Pag narinig ko na ang mga katagang "the boat is sinking, group yourselves in to TWO", I know that I'm gonna be the odd one out. Kilala akong friend ng lahat ng tao. Close ako sa lahat. But I realized na wala akong isang kaibigan lang na may one-is-to-one relationship sa akin. Hindi katulad ni Krista at ni Shane, si Joey at si Keian, si Karyl at si Manoy, si Elbert at si Jowell. I’m sure pagnarinig nila ang "the boat is sinking, group yourselves into TWO" kahit nasa Taft si Shane at nasa Makati si Krista ay pupunta sila sa isat isa. I get along with everybody, but when it comes to the point that everybody goes to their respective partners, I find myself alone.. When the boat sinks, I sink alone..
mabuti nalang marunong ako magswimming.

forever on ink
i always hated writing the good memories ive treasured over the past years of my life.. i feared that i might waste these great memories knowing that words could never do them justice. But two great people convinced me into making this blog.. ms. d and shakespeare. o db? sushal. pinilit ako ni ms. d gumawa nito. so eto na. hehe.. sabi naman sakin ni shakespeare, (close talaga kami..)
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o'ersways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
O! how shall summer's honey breath hold out,
Against the wrackful siege of battering days,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?
O fearful meditation! where, alack,
Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid?
Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
O! none, unless this miracle have might,
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
naintindihan niyo ba? ok lang yan.. ako kasi di ko rin naintindihan.. buti nalang inexplain yan samin ng prof ko sa english.. ang gusto palang sabihin dyan ni shakespeare: kung ang bato, ang mundo at ang walang hanggang dagat ay may katapusan din, edi lalo na ang mga munting bagay katulad ng mga bulaklak at kagandahan. hmm.. so what do we do? we put them on ink. (sa case ni paul, on frames..)
so here's my desperate attempt to turn moments from yesterday to memories that would last forever.. i hope you'd enjoy reading "bandaids for the heart".. coz maybe you'd need some "bandaids" too..
