Calendar Girl

Around 6 of my friends/acquaintances
have gotten married just this month.

And thankfully only 1 of them
was actually pregnant.
They all had long engagements prior
to the event.

Sheeesh, fate is rubbing salt to my wounds.
Thank you for reminding me that my
biological clock is hastening to its doom.

I am happy for them, I truly am.

For a woman I think, nothing
is more flattering than having a man
profess his devotion and offer his entirety to you.

His mind, soul, heart.
His past, present and future.
The goodness in him, the evil
and the gray state in between.

For some it was a long wait for the 'right' one.
For others, the choice was by chance or
perhaps by circumstances.

Back in highschool, I kept telling everybody
that I would not be getting married,
somehow it is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, ugh.

I am now engaged only virtually to my partner
in crime of 9 years.
A perpetual state.

I was watching PBB earlier,
(there is nothing but TFC here)
There was this one guy who always
tried to hold this particular girls hand.
And what's most dear about it is
that they even tried to hide it
from their housemates -
holding hands behind a friends back,
holding hands underneath a pillow,
touching hands while innocently doing
another activity.

Ah youth, you magnify my loneliness
in this infernal place.

Where back home I am free, out here
I am caged - bound and gagged.

There is no happiness where one's basic liberties are shackled.

The simple interlacing of our fingers,
the lightest touch of his hand,
his embrace cocoons me from the terrifying
reality of everyday life.
He is my assurance.

Lord grant me sanity,
this place is getting to me.
Lord, grant me sanity,
this place is getting to me.

Something Fishy



After our PDOS my batchmates 
and I ate lunch at KFC and
went to Quiapo to shop for 
abayas and tarhas.

After purchasing we parted ways
and I went back to Quirino Ave
for my bus ride home.

It was so uncomfortable
because the local bus companies
tend to pack us passengers like sardines,
dangerously overloading the bus.

Imagine if the bus had to brake suddenly
everybody standing would fly
straight out of the windshield.

So going back,
I had a major headache
because the weather was really 
awry -  very sunny one minute
and then rain afterwards.

I rarely get headaches
but it is unbearable
when I do I have them :(

I stopped by at Mcdo
to buy some junk food dinner
and saw a uhm
friend?
acquaintance?

I do not know where to qualify him.

He is nice and all,
very chatty and brutally frank.

But...

He would always start the conversation
with a polite how-are-you first
and then
ask about my love life the next.

Parang ganito...
"Kayo pa rin ba ng boyfriend mo?"

"Uhm oo."

"Ang tagal niyo na no?"
or
"Balita ko wala na kayo ng jowa mo?"
(or something along those lines)

I know he is gay and all,
pero sana wag naman obvious.
Kasi hindi ako comfortable sa
ganong pagtatanong.

I mean alam ko may mga masasamang balitang
sumisingaw pero sana hindi
sa relasyon ko magfocus.

Sobrang uncomfortable ang ganitong
scenario sa akin.

Pakiramdam ko kasi may hidden something 
siya para kay hubby.

Hay, ano ba ang dapat kong 
isagot o gawin?

My titser, my pren

my titser, my pren

AN ODE TO MY FORMER CLASSMATE NOW FRIEND AND TEACHER...
ang hirap no
maging hidden pasaway
tulad ng hidden tapsi
andyan ang karatula
pinapatalastas ang pagiging pasaway
pero bihira mo makitang magmanifest...
pero sakin lahat ng pasaway
flock together...
ganon tayo noon pa man
actually till ugod-ugod na tayo.
ang hirap din magsaway alam ko
lalo nakung gustong mo ring
pagtawanan yung kabalbalang
ginawa ng student mo
kaso, ngiti ka na lang
sabay sabi ...
"kayo talaga, pasaway kayo!"
pero deep inside gusto mong
ulit-ulitin gumulong sa pagtawa
try mo kayang tumalon
habang tumatawa
mahirap din magkaroon ng kaibigan
na tinuturuan
you might be accused
abused
and worse
used
pasalamat ka,
di ka carry ng mg students mo
mas napapaikot mo sila
di tulad ng iba
may favoritism na
sunod-sunuran pa sa students na kaclose nila
tipong namimili
di man lang i-uplift ang morale ng student
lalo pang nilulubog sa putik
tipong tulad nung isang episode ng Marimar
kung saan pinakuha ng bruhang kalaban kay Marimar
yung alahas sa putikan...
sa pamamagitan ng ngipin
basta parang ganun kasidhi...
siguro it comes with youth
pero tumatanda na tayo
lalo lang tayong nagiging open-minded
yung iba makitid na nga
wala pang mind so to speak-off
kaya sayo
saludo ako!!!!
dahil andyan ka
para magcapping sa kin
andyn ka para pasayahin at
libangin ako
andyan ka
para patabain ako
sa junk/street food
KWEK-KWEK
and most of all
dahil lang sa...
ANDIYAN KA
salamat!
