Cradle Me, I'll Cradle You

And yes, when we first met, when you first went to grapes street, I knew already there was something ahead of us and it was something bigger than we could ever, ever, ever imagine.

Nakakatuwa. :-)

Thanks JC.

Sunday Afternoon Post

It was raining, there was nothing good on TV.

I didn't like the idea of sleeping the whole afternoon off.

When this is the only time that there is no work,

You would kind of think twice to sleep,

Although the weather seems to be calling for it.

So I did what I have been meaning to do,

CLEAN UP!

The mother was of course delighted,

She said this only happens ONCE a year.

and she's glad it's happened now.

(and the room badly needs a good cleanup! )

There, I moved all the heavy storage,

Took a rug and started mopping,

Got a broom and started sweeping,

Two hours and some minutes after,

The room can finally breathe again.

My back ached after.

But it was all okay,

Sometimes, you need to do things

you don't normally do.

Sometimes, no matter how difficult

it can be,

You push your luck, you gather up

all your guts, and you just do it!

To move forward, there is only thing

left to do,

as my French teacher always said

back in College,

"Move your pwet!"

No need to lie around, pretend all is ok.

"Move your pwet!"

The cleanup, however gloomy this afternoon was,

had turned the day bright and sunny.

And a Sun girl like me,

absolutely loved it.

Now what to do next?

Little Miracle

Always keep your eyes open to little miracles.

They are our automatic mood shifters.

Today, my little miracle is my quilt --

having it hand washed,

by me.

The quilt is almost ten times heavier

when it's wet. or even more?

And to wash it with bare hands can be due to the

following reasons:

1. no washer big enough to load it

2. sense of urgency, the sun's all up today, it'd

dry fast i can actually lie down on it tonight!

3. no more number 3 i think.

so there, i washed it. and no matter how heavy

it got, i didn't complain.

gusto ko siya maramdaman sa balat ko. mukang kumportable.

that same afternoon, it's already dried up :)

immediately, i removed my old bedsheets,

and hello there cozy quilt... :)

this entry may not even have a point,

but i do feel great whenever I lie down on my new quilt.

and what is the better feeling in this world,

than feeling great?

some travel to far places to feel great,

to feel at peace,

to be happy,

and to find who they truly are..

i haven't been to those places before,

but i do know how to get to my destination,

"handwash the quilt".

have a great week everyone. :)

swing two times

hello,

back in high school, there was some girl who called me up on the phone and cursed me. telling me to back off. the girl's voice was of course familiar, although i am quite sure it was one of her friends who really wanted to say those things to me. i never got afraid although it was my mom who was listening on the other line who cursed her back. i am never good in confrontations.

some years later, i got a phone call again, from another girl, telling me things. it hit me and after that call, i really cried.

some years later again, i received a call, and your guess is right, from a girl again. this time she was crying, asking if her boyfriend was with me (i used to give him rides). at that time i was driving, and i told her, "no". after some weeks they broke off. the guy asked me out and so I went.

then after several years, i came across someone who wrote me a letter telling me she wanted me to be her friend, and when i was about to reply, she was just... gone.. and that's the end of her.

those girls. in your life, it's not impossible to come across someone who can really weaken you, piss you off, or well, on the good side, inspire you. those girls probably loathe me, i don't know if they still do, but i'm sure they would never forget about me. and i would never either. those girls, they can be scared of you too.

all i know is, they're all from the past, old and dingy. and like what you do with your old stuff, either you throw or give them away, you bury them somewhere.

and then you step away.

sayang ang ganda ko.

at ang ganda mo.

=)

Heto Na

And so we are booked. :)

"magbukas ka NA ng tuna..." hehe.

Sorry, "Inuman Na" was the first song that came to mind. :)

But, yep yep, it's official.

(btw, a lot of things are meant to be blogged, however, my brain cells are not just working lately, i promise to come up with something more boring than this one, till then! )
