Nightmare
Nightmare i had last night.
Superhero's a vampire. He was protecting me all the time. Then the villain came. Superhero disappeared. I was crying to death. The villain tried to kill me. I cried harder. Gasped deeper for breath.
130am.
I woke up with a heavy heart, tears rolling down my cheeks, convulsively catching my breath.
God I'm still alive.

FAITHFULNESS
One day, a woman began to forget things.
Where she went.
What she said.
Where she was going.
Her husband brought her to a doctor, and sure enough, their worst fears were confirmed: She had Alzheimer’s.
After some time, her sickness progressed until she needed nursing care 24 hours a day.
Her husband didn’t want to, but he had no choice. He transferred his wife to a home care facility for patients with Alzheimer’s.
But he promised to visit her everyday.
Every 3pm, he’d visit her and spend the afternoon with her.
There came a point when she no longer recognized him.
It was so painful for him to enter her room, and she would just stare blankly at him.
One day, the husband was in a business meeting.
At 2:30pm, he stood to leave, saying he was going to visit his wife. One of his friends took him aside and asked, “Can I ask a question? Why do you still visit your wife everyday when she doesn’t know you anymore?”
He looked at his friend and smiled, “She may not know me, but I know her. And that’s enough for me.”

He may not be around, but I'm still here for him. It's enough that i know that i love him.

FLIPPED
FLIPPED 2010
You have to look at the whole landscape. A painting is more than a sum of its parts, a cow by itself is just a cow, a meadow by itself is just grass, flowers, and the sun peaking through the trees is just a beam of light... but you put them all together and it can be magic.
- FLIPPED
i know. i know. i've been flipped.
and i love the way i've been flipped.

When a massive wave of depression struck me, i had no way of articulating what would happen to me.
I was wallowing with my depressing emotions yesterday that i needed a breathe of fresh air and a few moments to spend in reflection.
I know that God had long been testing my faith and that i must never give up no matter how difficult the burden is. It has been a very very long day, working on a holiday with a big and heavy heart must have been a herculean task that i have gotten myself accustomed into. A few times i have to slump myself inside the bathroom floor and just let the tears ran down my cheeks, after which i have to stand up and face the entirety of the world.
When a massive wave of depression struck me, i had no way of articulating what would happen to me.
As the cold wind of Christmas seeps through my skin, i am thankful for the moon and jupiter above for being with me last night.

Live Like You're Dying
One of these days you'll be under the covers
You'll be under the table and you'll realize
That all of your days are numbered, all of them one to one hundred
All of them millions, all of them trillions
So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for more, no, no
Take every moment, you know that you own them
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you
Gimme a reason to fight the feeling
That there's nothing here for me
'Cause none of it's easy, I know it wasn't meant to be
I know it's all up to me, it's all up to me
So what am I gonna do with my time?
I'll take every moment, I know that I own them
It's all up to you to do whatever you choose
Live like you're dying and never stop trying
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you
All of the moments you didn't notice gone in the blink of an eye
And all of the feelings you can't help feeling no matter how you try
Take every moment, you know that you own them
It's all up to you to do whatever you choose
Live like you're dying and never stop trying
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you
Live like you're dying and never stop trying
It's all up to you, use what's been given to you
Live like you're dying

OVERHEAT
I clocked in late for work today. I had to stop right after exiting the slex because my car's temperature had fast risen.
Before the gauge hit the red line, i switched off the engine and parked on the side. Not that my heart is racing, but i wasn't too tough to open the radiator for fear of getting splashed by hot water. I called Kuya Manny and he was indeed very kind enough to rescue me, though it would mean tardiness for both of us. In less than 15minutes he was there for my call, my cousin also happened to pass by and spend time to help us out.
The expansion reservoir was full but the radiator was drained. My bad. The radiator cap is faulty enough for the circulation. But i still need to have my radiator cleaned to prevent further problems. Foremost, i have none to blame but myself for failing to check the car before using it. That's a real shame.
Nevertheless, I'm one blessed girl in a friday morning for having God's favour and protection channeled through His pipelines in the form of Kuya Manny and Kuya King.
Thanks be to God.

Till I Hear It From You
I didn't ask
They shouldn't have told me
At first I'd laugh, but now
It's sinking in fast
Whatever they've sold me
Well baby I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
It gets hard
The memory's faded
Who gets what they say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
Until I hear it from you
I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know, nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
Til we're talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you...
Till I Hear It From You

Don't take it against us, dear MTD
Does reducing lights and other convenience features tantamount to PRIORITIZING SAFETY?
Tant pis.
Why not try improving your services for total customer satisfaction before augmenting the toll collection?
Don't take it against us, dear MTD.
Until further notice.
This is one of the reasons why the Philippine government sucks.
KENNY ROGERS SMOKERS
I think the people behind Kenny Rogers Roasters in SM Calamba don't realize the importance of safety in their store.
I went there last night for a grilled fish meal that wasn't available on any other food chains there. I almost got suffocated in the smoke that was coming from their grill and was spreading in the dining area. For a moment, i thought of it as an isolated incident at that very moment, and the smoke would gradually cease to exist, so me and my friend decided to pursue our dinner and just chose a table that was a bit farther from where the smoke was coming. We happen to find one in the right corner. So while my friend is queued for our orders, i just sat and started to tame the curiosity that was brewing inside me.

We happen to find one in the right corner. So while my friend is queued for our orders, i just sat and started to tame the curiosity that was brewing inside me.
But the odds are great. If i am a cat, i would have used up my seven lives for entertaining my curiosity. LOLS. While the smoke was spreading faster and bigger in the dining area, i began to wonder if there were any smoke alarm/ detector installed in the store.
And i found not ONE, but A LOT. It was installed in an array, a perfect matrix of rows and columns in the ceiling.
But lo and behold, it's either they were intentionally turned off, or not even working.
For a smoke that full and fast spreading, i wonder how silent and how numb their alarms were.
For a business that is just operating for barely two weeks with a situation such as these, i wonder if any one from the safety department is concerned. Or were they even given permits to operate without proper safety inspection? For crying out loud! They were in grilled food business and they should have at least fine-tuned their operations so as not to suffocate their customers!
I just dawned on me how in the hell could they operate on such situation where they see their customers being suffocated. It's so frustrating how business thrives well at the expense of the comfort of the consumers. Even more frustrating that consumers are still willing to shell out some bucks to satisfy their cravings served at that specific dining.
I was still in college when an incident in Waltermart Calamba about a small fire from an alleged leaking gas tank in a food chain caused alarm and panic to the consumers inside the mall. Some of my friends who got caught inside were forced to their way out through the cinema's exit, after which they have to jump through a wall to get to the other side of the fence for their escape. No one would ever want this to happen again.
With the swarm of people frequenting SM Calamba since its opening two weeks ago, we just hope that the proper authorities will do their part in securing the safety of their people, beyond profit and gains.

And i found you
Exactly a year ago, i was waiting for you right at this very hour.
We were about to meet at 5pm, but it's way past 5 and you still weren't around.
I whiled away the minutes at the bookstore, and didn't notice that time had passed so quickly.
T'was 6 and you were around, but you got me nowhere to be found, an unfamiliar place beyond your grasp! lols.
So i agreed to meet where you were standing.
And i found you.
:)
Just reminiscing. Ang traffic talaga lagi ano?

Tell me something
When the rain falls on my face
How do you quickly replace it with
A golden summer smile?
Tell me something
When I'm feelin' tired and afraid
How do you know just what to say
To make everything alright?
I don't think that you even realize
The joy you make me feel when I'm inside
Your universe
You hold me like I'm the one who's precious
I hate to break it to you but it's just
The other way around
You can thank your stars all you want but
I'll always be the lucky one
Tell me something
When I'm 'bout to lose control
How do you patiently hold my hand
And gently calm me down?
Tell me something
When you sing and when you laugh
Why do I always photograph my heart
Flyin way above the clouds?
I don't think that you even realize
The joy you make me feel when I'm inside
Your universe
You hold me like I'm the one who's precious
I hate to break it to you but it's just
The other way around
You can thank your stars all you want but
I'll always be the lucky one
You can thank your stars all you want
But I'll always be the lucky one
I'll always be the lucky one
I'll always be the lucky one
