If I could just detach my heart from my body for a few minutes, show it to her so that I won't have to say the words.

This calms my less than intrepid self but worries my soul.

For it sounds so foreboding.

I might really end up losing my heart... left shamed and dying again.

At the mercy of someone who'll have to resurrect me.

The Color Yellow

Sometime before the elections in 1992, I remember standing by the window worrying; it was the innocent kind of worrying and emoting.

President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino's term is about to end. She will be leaving the country's top post and will start living the life of an ordinary citizen.

I felt sad then because she would soon be replaced by another unknown entity. Even at a young age, the uncertainty of it all was a scary thing.

NOw, about 26 years later, I find myself feeling the same kind of sadness and anxiety. Perhaps, most of my fellow Filipinos feel this too.

Cory, as she is more popularly known is leaving us. Again. This time, permanently.
And at a time where people's disappointment over the misdeeds of its elected public SERVANTS have exponentially increased.

But more than the sadness are the feelings of amazement and sense of unity at how the nation is reacting over her death.

At this very moment, I don't feel like saying "I am Proud to be Pinoy".

It is more like, "At this very moment, I feel MORE proud to be Pinoy!"

That four-letter word

This must be post-exam stress but I suddenly remembered something that suddenly occurred to me when I (no this wasn't sudden) reviewing for the insurance finals.

In fire insurance there are what you call friendly fire and hostile fire. Friendly fire is one which stays where it is meant to burn. Simply put it, hostile fire is one which burns where it shouldn't, leaving destruction and chaos. Oh I'm pretty sure Sir Hector De Leon did not put it that way. It's just my "rainbow attempt at drama" overcoming me.

Anyway, since my mind has this terrible proclivity for getting itself distracted; interconnecting things which creatures of compos mentis state would not normally do... I suddenly (there it is again) but very calmly realized...


For some, Love is something that starts out as a friendly fire that ends up into a hostile one.

How dreadly. I should risk-distribute and get an insurance policy.

Oh and of course pray harder I get a passing grade... Grrr

Finest Creatures ;)

Just had my dvd shopping madness. First stop, the movie It's all about... THE WOMEN

Only from a woman's mouth...

Annette Bening: This is my face, deal with it

Meg Ryan: There should be a pill to make love go away.
Candice Bergen: Why would you want it to go away? It's hard enough to find it in the first place.

Annette Bening: Betrayal is inevitable in every relationship

Meg Ryan: I don't look at clocks anymore. It's very liberating.

Bette Midler: You didn't lose a husband, you earned a closet

And that is why, the only man (and yes the typical misguided soul) in the movie couldn't help but say...

I want to get to know you again. Have I missed my chance?

take a slurp err sip...
