calatagan and antipolo: the dichotomy of two emotions

the weekend was wonderful (in some kind of a different way).

saturday:

i went to the rx summer cookout @ calatagan. unfortunately, the people i invited with were unable to come, kaya ako lang mag-isa. good thing some famillar faces were there, kaya di ko masyado naramdaman ang pag-iisa ko. i took some pictures there, which i'll somehow post whenever that will present itself.

we left rx at around 7am, tapos dumating kami ng mga 10am. when we got there, we frolicked and had so much fun and enjoyment. the food was good (especially since it's free), then the games were fun (kahit na talo kami).

parokya ni edgar rocked the house! as in! kewlness.

got home @ 12mn. happy, content, and in bliss.

sunday:

other than work, where i learned some new things... hmmm... btw, these are very interesting things... my stomach went powderkeg on me.

still, the most important thing is that i went to her debut. we got to talk after the program, brief, but ok.

my heart still bleeds, but there is nothing much one can do.

the story will be written here soon. i promise.

pinatawad na kita. pero pakiramdam ko pa rin ang pasan ng mundo ng kalungkutan. and only i can lift myself from the pain.

pakiramdaman mo naman...

sometimes i am too abrasive for my own good. i guess kasama na siya sa katauhan ko kaya minsan ganun ako.

being isolated and alone has become second-nature.

ang buhay nga naman. at least i have the radio and other people to keep me company. also, the idea that you choose to be happy. i like that mantra. thanks gelli.

uy, sa mga gabayanong nagbabasa nitong blog. 30 years ang gabay. tulong tayo.

p.s. ako ay pupuntang calatagan. yey!

the secular times and the happiness

for the first time in a long long time, i spent my holy week @ home, rather, in the metropolis. after my fun-filled time in batangas (nasugbu), i spent thursday to sunday in the office slaving myself to work.

at least i had my cd player for company... and the fact that i won tickets to the rx cookout @ calatagan, batangas.

saya talaga...

anyhow, i keep on thinking about how i could care less about the pomp and ceremony, a sign of the secular times...

stories from nasugbu...

greetings...

i finally came back from my vacation in batangas. i took the opportunity to expunge all of the negative vibes that have dominated my thoughts and feeling the past few days...

the place was not that good. (not like bora, but we went to an island that may remind you of bora). however, i had so much fun there. medyo roasted na nga ako e. still, the objective was achieved.

the ill feelings have subsided. it's there, pero you once said happy thoughts should remain as to broken relationships.

dealing with a crushing blow

when something struck you so hard that it sent you back & affected you so much...


you just have to get up & trudge on...


nasaktan ako, pero iginagalang ko ang desisyon mo

emotional flux

as much as gusto kong maging masaya nowadays, di ko magawa... those who know the whole story, good for you.


as for her, "that" will come, i guarantee it. i just would like to take my sweet time, because i am going to very well give my piece on everything, about you, about me, and about us.
