WITH so many things happening right now,
I would surely wilt if I began to cry.
A foray into the thoughts and reflections of this bipedal Homo sapien with opposable thumbs

welcome 2013!
INVICTUS
William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

goodbye 2012.
THIS years has been very difficult. In the 22 years of my existence, this has got to be my rock bottom. A lot of things have happened that made me realize the realities of life. Nevertheless, the most valuable lesson I learned this year is to never ever let yourself be vulnerable.
Goodbye 2012. I hope I never have to go through you again.

waiting.
IT'S been five months since you left and nineteen more months before your return. In the five months that you've been gone, my life has been series of waiting -one post at a time;
one message until the next. There were days that I would just spend my time sleeping, waking up only to check if you had already left a message. These were the moments wherein your absence seems almost unbearable -frustrating that no matter how much I will it, you won't be here anytime soon; that if only I could sleep and everything would be okay.
Since you've been gone, I felt that my life has come to a halt. I refused to go to parties because I wanted my next drink be with you. I refused to go on mall sales because I wanted to shop clothes with you. I refused to have my glasses fixed because I wanted to pick out a new frame with you. I refused to go to Cebu because I wanted my first plane ride be with you. And sometimes I think that I want to delay school so that I could experience medschool with you. It's just that in two years, a lot of things would happen in my life -big family decisions, clerkship, the prime of my youth! -things that I consider milestones, things that I would later remember years from now. And these are the things that I don't want you to miss out in my life. I have already missed out on most of your youth, when you were still young and idealistic and passionate and crazy. Hence, I don't want you to miss out on my youth too. And so, I try as I might to put them off, all of them off, even the very little things until you're here.
Nineteen more months of waiting.

happy one year!
To my dearest A,
Today we celebrate our one year together.
Who would have thought that this impulsive-kind of love would last this long. Just 6 days before we became together, we were complete strangers.
A year has already passed, and indeed, we have been through a lot.
I remember the soft iloveyou's that we whisper over our meals in Mang Inasal. I remember our short walks along España and trips to the market, our lunch dates in TMC wherein you would wait for me by the lobby fountain and we would eat pasta in the cafeteria. I remember the time we had baked mac + orange juice in your room while talking about random things and feeling safe, happy and content. I also remember our fights, big and small, and how those didn't stopped us from loving each other.
It's sad that you aren't here with me nor I am there with you to celebrate this day. I really miss you so much. But as they say, distance means so little when someone means so much.
Happy anniversary my dear! I love you so much! Take care!
