ang realidad para sa mga sawi...

Ibuhos na ang beer sa aking lalamunan
Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan
Bawat patak anong sarap
Ano ba talagang mas gusto ko
Ang beer na 'to o ang pag-ibig mo

He saw it coming. His girlfriend just broke up with him that night. There were mixed emotions – undecipherable, indescribable. I didn't know what to say to my newfound friend whom I treated as my long lost younger brother (because I did not have one). I didn't know how to comfort him. I thought I just have to listen to whatever he would say, hear the cold laughter and feel sorry when he cries.

He shared how he felt with all the burdens that he has right now and burst into tears. I cry when a friend cries but this time I held my tears back. I don't know. I just did. Maybe because awe outweighed my sympathy towards my brother. I was happy to see that he knows how to handle disturbing situations like family and love problems pretty well. In his words, "mahirap palang aliwin ang sarili."

We spent the whole night laughing while he mimicks various pop/rock bands with his favorite songs as background. We discussed anything under the sun over a gallon of iced tea – yoga poses, cartoons, dance steps, alternative music – and laughed on them. Just about anything. Good thing, we didn't drink beer. I was actually amazed how he did it with just some glasses of iced tea when every man in a situation like his would definitely crave for alcohol. (Kakaiba ka talaga, bro. Pero saludo ako sa yo. You rock, RE.)

It certainly was a night made for us to feel the cold – a night of tears, music and iced tea.

**Kaya ko kayang aliwin ang sarili ko pag broke ako?

I watched Tulad ng Dati at Cine Adarna in UP. [I was not able to watch it in CCP. Kainis.] As you all know, it won Best Film in Cinemalaya '06. Hmmm. I won't say it's disappointing because...well...it made me laugh at 10:00pm, especially the "Eheads scene" and the fact that Ratbunitata, The Dawn's rival band in the movie, really exists. If making its audience laugh is the movie's primary purpose, I would say they just achieved their goal. Pwede na, next to Big Time.

Watching it with Tits and Iggy and with The Dawn performing at the UP Film Center's lobby after the screening [at supported pa ng Sandwich at Urbandub na di naman tumugtog at nanood lang din], pwede na. hehehe

The Dawn, who were also the actors in the film. 
Mga bandistang natural ang sense of humor, in fairness.

it saddens me
that we now don't remember
special days
that we don't even
drop a line online,
the only means
after you walked away
that was sudden

it all started
that fateful day
when you remembered
“how are you, my dear”
and so i replied
“i'm fine my dear friend”
did you choke?
or weren't you surprised at all
that was sudden

now i remember
a couple of years ago
you wanted to settle
i begged off
silence
i just felt
t'was right love
right person?
i did not know
if you or I
that was sudden

uhh, none on my list
enumeration
oh, none on my list
cleared
that was sudden

it saddens me
to loose
a dear friend
that was sudden

'kaibiganin mo
ang iyong buntonghininga"
si padre talaga
nakakatawa
sa pagkakataong ito'y
literal
ang aking pag-unawa

naalala ko
sa may likod
habang pinakikinggan
mga awit ng papuri
mula sa isang alagad
na matagal ding
naging kaibigan

alam ko na
ang pakiramdam
kung mababaw
dagling napapawi
kapag malalim
dinuduyunan ng luha

tama si padre
"kaibiganin mo
ang iyong buntonghininga"
dahil alam niya
ang grado, ang antas
ng bawat nadarama

ngayong kaibigan na kita
nakasalubong mo ba
ang pintig
na gusto kong ibahagi sa iyo
kanina pa?

this silhouette
was caught
unprepared,
perplexed,
no, puzzled
worse, blank
certainly
darker than her tincture

loud
but ever calm
advocate of peace
reality bites
uhhh, cliché
to fault this silhouette
for giving
only precepts

chaos
this silhouette
is not into it
driven
by compassion
yet guided
by uhm, let's just say
maybe invalid
but sound reasons
now
will u fault her?

lest i forget respect
i must go before dawn
and throw away simple things
those that trigger squabble
to pick out good memories
and trash moments of indifference
for you are my next Mama
what best way to square off

but i must go before dawn
to leave – the best way to square off

You left us
bruised
with swollen hearts,
confused minds
You don't recognize
the voice that made you

Now there was you
uncold, enlightened
closer, deeper
No one asked
the sighs
all turned into smiles.

My Romance Pie

Romance is most important in a boyfriend/girlfriend (I know.). You love the extra dimension that romance brings to a relationship and you tend to fall in love very quickly (Talaga?).

I find it interesting that intelligence and romance both occupied 31.3 percent of my romance pie. Hmmm! Interesting!  

 

What will I go to jail for?

I just took the quiz, wrote my name and I was like huh?

What kind of smart am I?

All-Around Smart You are all-around smart. Essentially, that means that you are a good combination of your own knowledge and experience, along with having learned through instruction - and you are equally as good with theoretical things as you are with real-world, applied things. You have a well-rounded brain. 20% applied intelligence 0% learned intelligence

My Celebrity Match

Your celebrity match is Diego Luna (Sino siya?). You like your men soulful and passionate (Hmmm!).

Pwede! Wehehe!
