I and Usual Mornings

3:07 "Bababa babananana bababa babanana..." It was loud enough to wake me up. Of course, I put my phone under my pillow and set it on full volume. I jumped off my bed, paused for a quiet time, said a prayer, and headed to the bathroom. 3:17 Because I live in a typical house, I got no shower. I was staring at that pail of water. I touched the water. Man! That was cold! Again, I live in a typical house I got no heater. I went back to my room and put on clothes. A navy blue polo shirt - ironed, faded black jeans, dark green sandals, and silver watch. I picked up my black sling bag with stuff I prepared last night. 3:52 I sat next to the dining table and prepared myself a coffee and a piece of bread with margarine sometimes cheese or mayo. These I think are enough for a day's routine. I went out from the house and started walking until I would reach the next street.  4:11 I was the only one walking on the road. I can only hear kroo-kroos, twit-tw...

Panamilit

Daw wa ko damha sa kalit, Ang akong higala buot na nga manamilit, Pagbati ko wa ko gayud masabti, Susama sa suwertres diin ako napildi. Dili ako katuo, Naghandom nga unta usa kini ka damgo, Higala ko ayaw ako og tiawa, Kapiit sa dughan di na ko maagwanta. Tuod man dili na mapugngan, Imong paglakaw sa bag-o nga dalan, Hangyo ko lang, Unta ako di nimo kalimtan. * out of boredom I made this poem for a friend who had a hard time dealing with goodbyes (evil laugh) but it turned out that I'm making this for myself ^_^

Bittersweet Good-bye

Why goodbyes are painful? Every time I hear of goodbyes I feel a sudden numbness. I cannot move. There is always this feeling of loneliness. Some call it separation anxiety (sepanx) I call it parting forever (pafore).  I must admit that I easily get attached with kind and unique people. When you get along with me and we'll spend quality time together then I'd easily open up myself to you.  It was on a Sunday when this certain person we call Ate Claire told us that she'll be leaving for UAE. :'( I was really very shocked. Weeks before, we were just planning for her church wedding next year. They just had their prenup and she already had almost every detail for the d-day planned out. I too had to prepare because she wanted me to be the emcee  at the wedding reception.  We even joked about our gift for Ate Claire on her wedding day. We'll be looking for a huge arinola  hahahaha She doesn't like it. She would rant on us and tell us that she can't imagi...
