Stoplight

STOP LIGHT

Malayo pa lang kitang kita green na ilaw. Humarurot ang kotse ko palapit ng palapit naging yellow…bumagal ang takbo ko. dahan dahan ko ng inaapakan ang breaks. Tapos pula…hanggang dun lang ako sa linya.

Sa malayo maganda siya, nakasama mo ng matagal nakikita mo na ang detalye ng mukha at pagkatao niya. hanggang huminto ko kasi hindi mo pala trip.

Ang dami mong alam salita ka ng salita. Sa dami ng makakausap sa mundo nagsasawa ka na kakapaulit ulit. Ayan na nahimik ka.

Uyy uso bili ka, suot ka naman. Pormado. Lakad ka ng lakad sa mall may dip ala bagay sayo. di mo na sinuot ulit yung “uso”

Bagong yosi ka lang. isang stick pa, isang stick pa. isang kaha pa. isang rim pa. hala sige hits lang. hanggang sa hirap ka na huminga. Titigil ka o mamamatay ka.

Isang shot lang, isang bote ng beer. Masarap? Shot pa shot pa! isa pang case ng red horse. Hanggang gumegewang na lakad mo…dahan dahan ng prumoproseso ang utak mo. tapos wala na, past out.

Sa umpisa masaya kayo. harurot ka naman “forever na toh” Tumagal ng tumagal nawawala na ang kilig, dahan dahan ng nawawala ang pagmamahal. Tumigil ka hinayaan mo na siya tumakbo, dun ka na lang kung saan ka huminto.

Go bata ka pa, slow down tumatanda ka na, stop matanda ka na

____

bakit ba tinawag na stop light kung may go at slow down?

kasi kung walang go at slow down, walang silbi ang stoplight.

kung walang stop, lahat na lang naka-go, lahat naka-slow down. di na natuto tumigil

Usapang lasing

Nagkataon na araw ng puso ko bukas. araw ng mga puso natin.
naiwan kaming tatlong magkaibigan, hindi kami iniwan pinili lang namin na hindi sumama.
Dala ng lungkot, nagkayayaan uminom. takte tatlo lang kami uminom.

Inuman friend 1:
"Namimiss ko siya" wala ng lalabo pa sa statement na yan pag ang nagsabi niyan ay isang lasing. malabo kasi bibitaw ka, tapos mamimiss mo. malabo kasi kaya mo sabihin samin pero sakanya hindi. malabo kasi hanggang hangin lang ang abot ng salita mo, walang pupuntahan.

Inuman friend 2:
"baka mapakilala mo naman ako sa friends mong girls?" sagot ko "mahalin mo muna sarili mo kasi hindi mo kakayanin na pag nawala na yung taong mahal mo. yung lalagyan mo ng pagmamahal, pag nawala yun mawawala ka din"

Ako: sa bawat tagay at shot na nilalagok natin...onti onti natin natatanggap ang mga katotohanan na pilit nating tinatago, at tinatakpan ng ngiti at saya.

Inuman friends: wow...lasing ka na nicole

ako: siguro nga. Cheers

Idol

Idol,

sa buong buhay ko lagi kitang tinitingila. ang lakas mo kasi, walang makabara sayo
ang talino mo lahat ng maabutan mong problema nalulutasan mo...pero kung hindi man nalulusutan mo
pinapanuod kita. lagi akong natutuwa at natatawa sa mga pinag gagawa mo

nasabi ko ng i want to be like you
a person who tries everything, knows have to fun, knowledgeable, knows what to say, wise, family person, at higit sa lahat ang iyong pagiging strong.

Idol, ang galing galing mo. kaya ng makita kita nakahilata sa kwartong yun nanghina ako.
Hindi ko alam gagawin ko, ayoko maawa kasi alam ko kaya mo! malakas loob ko na dadating ang susunod mong episode.
Strong ka!! strong din kami. strong din ako...para sayo.

Wag kang bibigay agad, lumaban ka. Dont give up easily, we're no quitters. we always give up a good fight.
pinapanuod pa rin kita. aabangan kita.

- fan

ang hirap hirap makita ang idol mo na nahihirapan. buong buhay mong tiningala, tinamaan lang ng ligaw na bala, nanghina na. pero hindi magbabago ang tingin ko sakanya, kasi ang mga idol kelangan din magpahinga. onting pahinga lang yan idol!!

Pag-tao nga naman ang idol mo...

Masarap kang magmahal

Labi mo't labi ko'y nagdidikit
Hawak ang katawan mo ako'y nanginginig
Iisa ang nilalaman ng ating dibdib
Parehong nilalanghap na hangin

Ikaw ang hanap sa araw at gabi
Dating mo ay nakakahumali
Sa haplos mo dahan dahan akong namamatay
Wala akong kalabanlaban, walang kamalaymalay

Bakit sa bawat kanto ng buhay, dumarating ka?
Nakakabaliw ka, tama na
Gusto kong tapusin na ito
Ayokong dumepende sa iyo...

Masarap kang magmahal
Pero ako'y nasasakal
Nahihirapan, nanghihina
Ikaw ang nagiisang dahilan

Gusto kita pero di mahal
Masaya akong nakilala ka
Hanggang dun na lang aking makakaya
Wag mo na sana akong akitin pa...

regret

because of that question i got myself thinking for 3days now



i have had quite a number of relationships. some of them just flings but never the less didn't just play around. i took the chance, the risk with my whole heart and never regretted anything.
until last tuesday...

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST REGRET..
i was thinking and thinking...wala naman...then thinking and thinking...ok nagiisip ako meaning meron...thinking and thinking... WHY? ... think...
WHY!
yun na yun
I DIDNT ASK WHY

i had 4 boyfriends and quite a number of flings? ok madaming flings fine. when they all left me..i never bothered to ask WHY.

Grade 6.: Together for 4 months, i think. it was a puppy love text thing and good lunches together :) it was cute. Months passed, i felt something wrong :) i was all giggly about it because I knew before hand. i had that sneaky feeling, i was a kid...i barely call this a relationship (now). so there, he called me and told me he's been thinking about this girl lately..i giggled because i knew it wasnt me.. he got kinda pissed so i tried to stop the giggling. Then he told me he liked my good friend dyan, and i said "go! crush ka din nun eh" it was that easy.
but i never asked why her not me

2nd yr HS: My loves for 3 months. i broke a lot of hearts when the world knew i have him, i had 4 suitors then. it was unexpected. it was all of a sudden, it was him and me, it was us. it was a funny relationship. this was a chat, talk, eat thing and sweet see you laters. it was summer time, and if you're a student hiding a relationship summer time was just the hardest. i missed him but...i knew he didn't. we got to talk over the phone. i tried to lambing him but im not really good at that hahaha. (fastforward: back to school) i called him using my cellphone (to their landline he didnt have a cellphone) i asked how he was and all then
he asked "gusto mo pa ba?"i said "ng?" "eto,tayo. gusto mo pa ba ituloy" "ahhh ikaw magdecide" "ehhh ikaw babae ikaw dapat nagdedecide" "sino ba nagsabi na babae dapat magdecide? Go." "wag na lang?" "okay" "okay ka lang?" "yup" "ah cge bye" (drop call) then i found myself singing...IM FREE, FREE. IM FREEEEE yeah.
now, i think. i never asked why it was all of a sudden

4th yr hs: highschool sweethearts for 2 years and 5months. i love listening to problems, he had a lot. i listened. he talked and wept and smiled. i looked at him and thought about it. his heart was pure and all he needed was someone who will accept him and be there for him, little did i know, ill play that part. from his broken heart we started to be friends, then i became his girlfriend. lesson learned: its not my role to mend a broken heart, because i can never patch things that he lost with the other...i didnt hear from him for a month...it was over...then he called...not directly saying it but he wanted me to wait for him til he finds himself. again not my role to play. I said "thank you at least now i know" thats all that mattered to me, to hear him talk...well he didnt say it directly but knowing him i understood.

but i never asked why he didnt contact me for a month.

4th yr college: my source of happiness for 3months. we just clicked, he was adventurous, a thrill seeker, fun, game, mature... he was somewhat like me. it was all so fast. i didnt even see it coming. it was a rollercoaster ride, and oh how i love roller coaster rides. i knew we can deal with anything...hindi pala. I can deal with anything...he couldnt. He was strong, but his heart for me was weak...i understood where he was coming from. it was normal, and i somehow expected the break up but didnt really embraced the thought. mind over matter, but i loved him...it was heart over matter...or maybe it was denial...1 cold week...then my hatest words came out from his mouth "ayaw ko na"...i understood and accepted.

i listened to solemn music and thought "WHY?"

im a hopeless romantic. when it comes to love i never ask why.

why? because i knew them well and i never wasted any moment.

it was a good run... :)

(but i still regret it haha)

UPOS

sindi. may simula ang lahat. ang patikim na magpapalibog na gustuhin pa ito, gumagapang na apoy na lalagablab sa iyong puso. aakitin ka’t di mo mamalayang nabibighani ka na, may ngiti na patagong papaslit sa iyong mukha. inaasamasam, nanabik. susubukan mong abutin, makahawak man lang. simula na ito.

hithit. buo ang loob mo, binitawan ang mundo sa iyong paligid. tungkol sayo, storya mo. desisyon mo, according to you ang lahat. may ngitng di mapinta ang saya, parte na siya ng iyong sistema. eto na yung gusto mo. iisa kayo. yakap yakap ang sandaling ito. gusto mo pa sanang patagalin, pero di ka na makahinga.

buga. eto ang mundo mo, binalik ka sa realidad. titignan ang upos ng yosi na kinalat mo. ngingit at masasabi sa sarili "tapos na"

nakita ko ang yosi, at ang mga nagyoyosi. ang bawat stick na maubos ay parang bawat sandali na pahinga na magkaroon ako. maikli. bubunot pa ng isa pang stick, nakakatakam dba? gusto ko yon, gusto ko makasama ang pahinga. desisyon ko naman kung magpapahinga ako eh, nasa akin yun. pahinga. dito ka muna. kaso pag tumagal, nababagot ako. maypagka workaholic ako. at ayun babalik ako sa realidad.

nakakapagod mabuhay pero we still choose to live because there is so much more to do, to experience, to have and meet. Nakakapagod, pagod ako. oo, pero di ko pa rin mapakita. Lagi akong on the go, hyper, people see me play and goof around. I am actually pero may ginagawa ako. ang pagiging hyper ako ay isang wall na tinayo ko para matago ang pagod na nararamdaman ko. pahinga, pahinga ang salitang dapat ibalik sa vocabulary ko.

pahinga – maikling oras na nakalaan para makahinga ka. inhale exhale. tapos balik trabaho na.

*magsusulat pa ako tungkol sa yosi. Di pa dito nagtatapos
