sana may free...

it's been ages since i last had a taste of "ice drop", and i definitely missed this. i remember when i was a kid, sometimes the ice drop vendors would have a promo wherein if you get one with a specially marked popsicle stick, then you get another ice drop for free! cool, wasn't it? i wonder if they had dti permit numbers that time...

farewell, friend of God...

sometimes God calls back his angels too soon. and sometimes the answers to the questions in our minds lie beyond pain. it's not always clear why. perhaps it's not for us to understand. but it is clear that we can never be sure what's in store for us. so we all must learn to live each day like we know that it's our last. sigh, how we all wish it's that easy...

"fly" (celine dion)


fly, fly little wing
fly beyond imagining
the softest cloud, the whitest dove
upon the wind of heaven's love
past the planets and the stars
leave this lonely world of ours
escape the sorrow and the pain
and fly again

fly, fly precious one
your endless journey has begun
take your gentle happiness
far too beautiful for this
cross over to the other shore
there is peace forevermore
but hold this mem'ry bittersweet
until we meet

fly, fly do not fear
don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
your heart is pure, your soul is free
be on your way, don't wait for me
above the universe you'll climb
on beyond the hands of time
the moon will rise, the sun will set
but i won't forget

fly, fly little wing
fly where only angels sing
fly away, the time is right
go now, find the light

P5.00 na sya...

last night, i hangout with a friend at megamall. wala lang... tambay lang... people watching. we had dinner @ chowking. as usual, i ordered pork chowfan with dumplings and large cola... (naks, ayaw pang sabihing coke, as if naman sponsored ako ng pepsi, hehehe), while my friend ordered shanghai lauriat. as always, we requested for extra soup (that's what we like about chowking, because of the free soup)... but to our surprise, the soup isn't free anymore. it costs P5.00. the crew told us it's because they have improved their soup by adding veggies. but my friend and i agreed on a theory: naningil na ang chowking kasi siguro maraming umoorder sa kanila ng rice lang then humihingi na lang ng sabaw... lol

tenchu bewimach...

@edg for this very nice coffee mug, and its very nice contents ;)

@bingo, pa'no mo natsambahan? fave ko swiss chocolates

@ardee for making my life easier carrying my laptop

@my social_eyes family for fulfilling my childhood obsession (naks!)

but most of all, for the friendship you shared with me. that alone made my natal day extra-special.

exhaustingly fun...

i never thought having barely 1 hour sleep for two days will be so enjoyable. evidently it had something to do with the company i was with that made our out-of-town weekend gimmick very delightful. from caltex gate5, to gstar complex @nlex, to “isdaan” restaurant and a-max gas station @gerona tarlac, to inn rocio – volante pizza parlor – back to inn rocio – public market – harry’s – back to inn rocio again – camp john hay commissary – house of waffles (camp john hay pa rin) – all @baguio city, then back to manila still with series of stops for cigarette and bathroom breaks. lutang na lutang ang utak ko… yet it was so much fun!! thanks edg.

matamis mabango...

it's been a while since i last made an entry in this blog, just as it's been a while since i last had dinner at G4 food choices. bago na pala seats nila. they look like half-open egg shells. when you're sitting on one of them, you'll also look like one of the old mascots of chiclets... hmmm this got me wondering, why did a gum brand used chicks as mascots?

deception point...

my family and i went on a picnic at pamulaklakin in subic. while listening to the sound of rushing water and experiencing a rare kind of natural foot spa (submerging my feet in the water and allowing tiny fishes to feed on calluses and dead skin cells), the ambience made me recollect the recent events/situation in my circle. indeed, it's like a roller coaster ride for all of us, but with different intensity for each of us. now i won't speak for everyone, but as for me, it gave me a mixed emotion of indignation and delight... spleen because of all the lies and deception of a certain person, which made me realize that i really don't know him at all. had this person been at least honest, things wouldn't be this irksome and disappointing. but i'm glad as well, because i got over this person in almost a snap.

i hope we'll all be able to fix everything soon. this will really put the circle's resilience to the test. i really pray we'll all surpass this.

balance

after everything, somehow i'm still fortunate to have a friend who slapped me severely to reality, and another to mend the excruciating pain of the slap. nothing more i can do, but to keep crossing the wire, and most likely move on to another... kahit paulit-ulit na lang ang nangyayari, eh ganun talaga eh... but if there's any consolation, at least i know i have a circle of friends underneath who are there to catch me everytime i fall... to the circle, thank you all for being happy with me and for me for the past month... to some, sorry for the disappointment... to one, thank you for the joy you gave me that i never felt before... what matters now, is i still have you with me in facing what ever may come my way...
