Sa tingin mu, ano?


Kikinig yan ng "KUNG AKO NA LANG SANA":)

Kagagaling ko lang kila Sarah, one of my classmates na vibes ko, kasundo, kasindaldal at kung anu-ano pa.
May nagtext sa’kin na new number, sabi:
“musta kayo jan?”
Ako:sino to?
Texter:Ate Shasha mu to.
Hayun! Si ate pala. Ugh. Nonsense ba?
Nah! Ganito kasi, sa tinagal-tagal kong nawalay sa sis ko, pati sa iba pa naming kapatid, di man lang ako makaalalang mangumusta o kung anu pa man. Kung napapatext man ako sa kanila, iyon ay kung may kelangan ako. Hay! Sabi nga sa’kin ng bunso namin minsan, “Saka ka lang naman mag-text kung may hihingin ka.” Tawa lang ako sabay sabi ng, “Wala nga akong ibang sasabihin, bakit pa ako magte-text?” sama nu?
At sa conversation namin ni Sarah, naisingit ko yung tungkol sa best friend kong si Joy. Best friend ko for more or less 15 years now (she’s 19 and m 20). Feeling ko kasi anlaki na ng aking pagkukulang. May time ako sa not-so-close barkadas, jamming, shot shot with kakilala lang at kung anu-ano pa man. Pero sa kanya? Ewan ko ba. Matagal-tagal na din kaming walang communication at hindi nagkikita dahil sa nasa work siya sa ibang lugar at nag-aaral naman ako. These past few months, di ko pa maalalang ako unang nagparamdam at nangumusta sa kanya. As in hihinrtayin ko pa talagang siya ang una magtext o magpa-ring sa number ko, at pagkatapos ng isa hanggang tatlong reply, dedo na naman komunikasyon namin ng ilang century.:)).. Medyo mahaba-habang usapan na namin yun aabot ng lima o sampung replies sa pagkukumustahan. Naitatanong ko nga, “asan ang essence ng firendship namin?”, at dahil napi-feel ko talaga na may pagkukulang ako na di ko naman alam kung papanu makakabawi, naiisip ko nalang, “Ano ba talaga ang pagkakamali ko?”, “Ako ba tong may kung anung problema?” Di ko din mahanapan ng kasagutan ang mga simpleng tanong na yan saking isipan pero isa lang naman ang masasabi ko, hindi siya mapapalitan bilang “bestest” at “truest” friend ko. All my life, di pa ako nakakita ng taong tutumbas sa pagiging totoo niya as a friend. PERO sa tingin mo, may mali ba sa’kin?
Kung sa loob ng pamilya naman namin, sa mga kapatid ko, di ko idedeny na mas may time pa ako sa barkada at kung anu-ano pang walang-kwentang (nga siguro) libangan. Kung may matatanggap man silang text galing sa’kin, asahan nilang ang laman, “Dy, padagdag ng allowance.” O di kaya naman “Pambayad ko ng ganito o ganyan.” At kung mga kapatid ko ang itetext ko, “Pakisabi wala na akong allowance.” Hay! Kung ikukumpara mu naman sa pakikipagpalitan ko ng text sa mga di ko naman close na barkada, kukulangin pa ata ang isang araw na balitaan ng mga walang kwentang pangyayari.
Saan at ano ba talaga ang malin sa ugali ko?
PS: pasensya, di ko talaga alam kung papanu ilabas ng buong buo yung nasa isipan ko.

capital "B" for bathoom..:)


It was just last Friday that I felt so happy, blessed and it really was a mirthful moment with my few classmates. We celebrated for something not-so-special. We enjoyed each other's company and made a memorable bonding that had made our first semester worth remembering.
A thought occurred to me, "tomorrow or the day after it might come a crestfallen experience." Then really here I am. This doomed feeling had started yesterday and I couldn't help but cry my heart out to lighten up my encumbered spirit. Being in a shoestring is practically a challenge, most especially because it is so new to me.
A Filipino belief as goes, "saya ngayon, bukas makalawa problema naman" for it has been clearly observed by many, though scientists would definitely do not give an effort to study about, I really believe in it. But why is so this happens? Well, like in spiritual beliefs, it cannot be scientifically studied.
Really was so down and depressed just a while back. Throwing my pillows there, messing up the whole room and fixed it up after a few minutes—my coping mechanism when cheerless moments like this come. I vividly call to mind what all I wanted to do—to go very far as I could possibly do—to escape a problem. I would say that I was thinking of doing rebellious deed. I really am easily gets blue and instead of assuming great moves to get over such circumstances, I often almost kill myself with such devilish imaginations that I would faultily identify as the "answer". It's so bad of me to think of.
BUT, just an observation in me, when times like this come, taking a shower or being inside the bathroom rather, would be a perfect means for me to find a solution to get out of despair. I was just so unflinchingly visualizing of going away then decided to have a shower to freshen up myself. Maybe it's really not my habit to wash for almost an hour (sometimes, I exceed an hour), what takes me long inside the room is that I find it (being inside the bathroom) helpful to meditate good moves. Amazing is it! And I really love it. I even got to the point that I compared this instance to a friend. A helping hand of a friend can't be always around, when I badly need someone to confide in and cannot find one, there is my best friend—the bathroom. Nice, isn't it? Best friend is not only applicable to humans, to a favorite pet or thing, mine is a proof that it can be a part of the whole. :)
