The Sunday Currently | 15

Walked around aimlessly today without any plans and it couldn't be any better, since i didn't really want to do anything. And I was so surprised discovering something i supposed everybody knew. So surprised I couldn't find words for it.

Currently I am...

Reading 

"Crossings" still. Still stuck on it because i'm such a slow reader and i was quite busy last week. I also bought a new book "the Artistic Mom" which i'm excited to read later. Really? Excited? hmm

 

Writing 

The Sunday Currently 15 and a new poem i dedicate to mi madre.

Listening 

to Adele's "Hello". Hello Adele, it's me. Today i learned something about you and i feel stupid not knowing it long before : ( ... love you.

Thinking

about March 1st. Will be starting a new job. Nge! I don't know yet the task that will be assigned to me so I'm kinda anxious and curious. I just wish i could do my duty well.

Smelling 

nothing...runny nose prob.

Wishing 

everybody a good week ahead, and wishin myself more passion and dedication for my new job.

Hoping

everybody is having a great weekend, that they are spending it with the ones they love : ) 

Wearing 

pink polo shirt, shorts and pink cork slippers. 

Loving

yesterday still. The friends and i went to the country at a friend's place. We ate lunch and had a good talk and took pictures. The place was beautiful and the weather was rainy. That's all ~_~

Wanting

to get rid of this runny nose. Med doesn't seem to work. But i like the feeling of sneezing though.

Needing

to claim my renewed license as soon as tomorrow. Pls make me forget the thing "procrastination" even just for a day please!

Feeling 

surprised and dumb-stricken and amazed . For one reason. I found out ONLY today that Adele is only 27. I mean seriously I've known her long enough and i adore her and love her songs but i never really bothered to check her bio because all i cared about was her voice. But today i happened to check out more about her after watching her carpool vid, and yeah i was left speechless. :( Also didn't know that she has a son. How could i not know! Why didn't I know! 

Clicking 

YouTube and Facebook. Am watching proposal and carpool vids ~_~ kkkkk.

some friend

and one day we met

no words, just smiles

she's genuine, she's best

her eyes can't lie

she's a story to tell

that goes "once upon a time"

she's a song to remember 

like Alicia's "girl on fire".

love u omma kkk

DREAM

DREAM

It was just like yesterday once more

Great dreams galloping like waves ashore

Hopes streaming in the bottomless galaxy

As we slept in the warmth of milky way.

It was our childhood so vulnerable

Like a prey innocently susceptible

Soaked from the sweat of morning dew

Painted with mud from that scary show.

We were once kids flying kites

Up and away like dizzy dragonflies

We cried and wailed when almost lost

And had nightmares of a smiling ghost.

We once spilled milk on a kitten's head

Licked salty butter on a toasted bread

We caught bugs sleeping on a petal

And sipped the sweet juice of a nectar.

We sang like birds humming together

We crossed, we flew, we sailed and traveled

We went to places hard to forget

Like a shy smile of a lovely guest.

We even asked where's the pot of gold

Searched for those bars no one can hold

We listened to the snores of clouds uphill

And sobbed with the raindrops on our windowsill.

We tried to define the mysterious beauty

Like a paradise molded from a piece of clay

We painted walls with vivid hues of blossom

With no fear of any threatening doom.

We slept and dreamed on the green grass

We splashed water tumbling over rocks

We laughed with the sun casting a shadow

With no pain or worries of tomorrow.

We witnessed births and deaths and storm

We walked like queens and cried like a newborn

We sat on the rooftop and waited for love

And walked down the aisle with unpaired dove.

We knelt beside the sleepy half-moon

And prayed to find our runaway groom

And prayed for a safest place to hide

And prayed for a second chance to survive.

We began our journeys with endless end

We were hurt and broken and hard to mend

The dreams we wrote in an old scroll

Were shattered at the corners of a wall.

But there also were moments when times had stopped

Our ears filled with deafening claps

We stood silent yet we made a name

And almost mastered how to play the game.

As we recall on our fruitful past

We keep memories and make them last

The tears we shed should bring no shame

For we have earned this humble fame.

We give and take, we laugh and cry

We come and go, we live and die

As you wake up, remember please

Our beautiful story in this masterpiece.

The Sunday Currently | 14

Stayed indoors most of the time again today, lurking through the internet and writing nonsense stuff. I just went out to buy iced coffee and I couldn't help myself to enter a bookstore again. I tried to resist the urge to buy but i gave in. I bought a novel and it's entitled 'Love in Another Town.' 

It started to rain when i exited the building, but i didn't want to stay there any longer so i just walked in the rain and got drippin wet. It felt good though. And today's valentines day. Seeing some people in red got me feeling' awkward...funny. 

Currently I am...

Reading 

"Crossings" by Danielle Steel. I just grabbed it from the curver this morning. There's a folded page in it. Probably i left it unfinished so i'm reading it again to give it hustisya. 

Writing 

The Sunday Currently 14. Still working on the notes i'm always promising myself to finish and it seriously takes forever.

Listening 

to Cristian Bautista's songs again. 

Thinking

about last weekend. Still. I had a quite long break and it gave me enough time to think and spend time with wonderful people (friends and people at home) kkkkk

Smelling 

coffee.

Wishing 

to go home again. I wish to feel how it was like last weekend. I wish to see my brother, my little nephew, my father and aunt. 

Hoping

everybody is havin a great Sunday. Valentines day. Whatever it means to them. 

Wearing 

black v-neck tee, shorts and a cap. 

Loving

today's weather. It started out sunny and it rained. Perfect. 

Wanting

coffee forever. 

Needing

to get this feeling of weariness out of my system. It's really all over me and it keeps me from doing what i am supposed to do next. Actually I don't know exactly what to do next, but i guess once i completely erased this feeling of lassitude, i could figure it out. I need to get rid of the barrier first. 

Feeling 

moderately well???

Clicking 

the messenger. Just reading past messages from friends and family.

In Another World

I just spent a really fun holiday last lunar new year! Usually on a holiday i just visit home and sleep all day. For 2 days i don't go out, i'm literally inside the house the entire time. I eat complete meals, I sit on the balcony for hours when it's too hot in the afternoon, or I force myself to sleep because there's really nothing to do.

But this holiday was different. And it's longer than the usual holiday that our company allows. Lunar new year was for 5 days, from Saturday to Wednesday. I hadn't made a concrete plan for the first 2 days, Monday was for canopy walking at an inland resort in my friend's hometown, and no plans for Tuesday and Wednesday again. So on Saturday i just stayed at my boarding house, prepared my backpack, and slept most of the time. Then on Sunday a friend suddenly called for a small gathering, so another friend and i traveled there for an hour and thirty minutes. We went to a swimming pool, we brought some foods and beer, we ate and talked and laughed and sang and danced. We were only allowed to stay until 10:30 so we just proceeded to another friend's house who lives in that town, and we continued drinking there. Everything went well, and we were complete.

*others were not in the photo

The next day we woke up feeling so dizzy and exhausted and we wanted to sleep more. But we had a planned activity for that day. So we prepared breakfast and had coffee. It was a good morning to start with, but the sad thing was most of them suddenly just cancelled the plan. Originally, 10 of us planned to go for a canopy walk. But Nico had to accompany his sister to the city, Giselle's boyfriend called and they had to meet, Therese and her boyfriend also had to cancel because she and her father had to meet a lawyer for some settlement. Bev and her boyfriend had to go home because her mother had been looking for them since Sunday night, Lovely and Ram already left early in the morning because Ram had an appointment. So only Anne and I could make it. We’ve been planning for a month and we didn’t want to just miss the chance because we knew we wouldn’t have a long break again in a long time, so the 2 of us continued the plan anyway. We ate late breakfast and had coffee, and readied ourselves. 

We took a tricycle to get to the resort known as Damires hills. It is an inland resort located in Janiuay Iloilo, about 15 minutes from the center of town. It features 2 swimming pools, bamboo and wood-made cottages, cafes and restaurants, some shops that sell local products and goods, and the beautiful nature view itself. Outdoor activities could be enjoyed such as zip line, swimming, ATV biking, fruit picking, and canopy walking (which was the very reason why we wanted to go there). We paid 100 pesos for the entrance fee. 

As soon as we got there, we took pictures and filled our eyes with the nice view. The place was really 'pretty'. The aura was different once you’re in, the air was so cool and clean since the place is at a high elevation. The landscape was very neat and organized. I felt so peaceful, and I was happy that I spent the third of my 5-day break there. 

After taking some pictures at the main area, we decided to go for a canopy walk. First we had to walk for about 20 minutes to reach the canopy. There was no guide so we just followed the trail. We were in nature! We saw different kinds of plants and trees along the way, and from the top we could see a village below. 

*Anne

The weather was so hot we were sweating and running out of air. So we had to stop many times to sit for a while and continued walking again. As we neared the starting point of the canopy, we got excited even more. 

 

  

Finally we’re here. 

We just walked the usual way, except that we’re quite slow. Then when we reached the middle it started swaying heavily from side to side. We realized there were some kids following us and they were running. It was crazy because I felt I would fall anytime. Also I imagined the wood would break when I stepped on it and I would fall 90 feet below. Anne was annoyed and she started screaming at the kids to stop running. I couldn’t take a lot of pictures as I had to focus on my steps and I wanted to reach the end of the canopy as fast as possible. It took about 15 minutes to finish the 240 meter long walk. We were catching our breath when we reached the end, we stopped a little and we walked down back to the main area. 

 

We’re a bit scared but we enjoyed anyway and we just laughed with what happened. We stopped at one of the cute canteens and treated ourselves with mango and buko shake. 

We just sat and relaxed and talked about so many things…friends, career, life, future and everything. I was feeling different emotions at that time. I was happy and glad, I was confused and sad. I was tired but excited, and I had many things mind. We were alternately talking and silent. We just seized the moment. 

We took some more pictures...of course...

And i just could not resist this before we left...

It was quite a tiring day but i had so much fun. For a while i felt nothing could harm and nobody could hurt. I thanked nang Anne for the great day I bade her goodbye. I was very grateful to her because she’s really a good company. As I went home, I kept thinking about what I did and what I saw. My heart felt very light.
