Bucket List (series 1)

organizer/planner is part of my life- to sort things out and to prioritize schedules and basically to make my life easier.
the first page i write on is always the last page of my organizer. i filled it out with my bucket list- things i want to do, varying from great to non-sense, significant to unnecessary and even impossible to weird.
the bottom line is i want to experience them in a year’s time. i am now halfway of year 2009. herewith is a parcel of that bucket list and glimpses of tresured stories on how they happened.

SPLURGED. SPLURGED.SPLURGED. I bought a pair of levis jeans and a pair of crocs in one day. i am an advocate of “go local. buy pinoy.” hehe maybe i was not myself then. but i love wearing them.

VISIT A SHRINE. i did. I had a chance to visit Simala in Cebu province with my IIPOD classmates. It was a long trip going to the mountain-we sang and chatted going up. We slept all the way down. It was a heart moving experience of community in faith and boundless hope in God’s providence. deep within i know miracles do happened.
STARBUCKS TUMBLERS. I collect them. I now have 12, lost 1, broken 1 and discerning to give away 1. in the span of 30 days i got new 4 tumblers- 2 collectors item ( manila and cebu), 1 do your own ( thank you small) and 1 classic star (thank you jayr). i am hoping to have more in the future.

SNEAKED OUT. yes i did and done it with style (for lack of better term). We are not really breaking rules (specially when they are silent). A long rough road walk under the 12 noon sun, uncomfortable habal-habal ride in an unfamiliar place all for the mouth watering da vinci’s pizza, sweet chocolates and my heart’s desire- starbucks mocha frap amidst kwentong buhay (drama at saya), risks and carefree moments and igat. hehehe it was really fun. i enjoyed it.
the aforementioned are just few of the beautiful stories treasured in my heart as i took the adventure of my life and fulfilled each item in my bucket list. i am grateful for the people who accompanied me and more for the opportunity that allowed them to happened. they were indeed perfect moments.

i know that before i came into your life you are already at the crossroads. if my presence adds on to the confusions and complications, i apologized. i did not planned to allow you to come too close into my life and nor did i envisioned to enter into your heart.
whatever it is that lies ahead choose the desire of your heart and embrace it. your happiness no matter what it takes is more than enough for me.

jeepney

naoogma ako na sa istoryang ini ika an kaiba ko
minsan nang nagkasabatan, nagtinohan
parehas an padumanan pero magkaiba nin dalan
nag pustahan pa kun sisay an maeenot sa padudumanan
pero an mas maogma ako ta sa katapusan kaini kita nagkanumpungan
asin sabay na mabalik kun sain man naggikan.

isang pangarap na sapatos na minsan nang natagpuan
at minsan pang hinayaang palayain ang pagnanais
na ito ay maangkin at ariin...
isang simple ngunit makahulugang kwento, karanasan at aral--
hindi lahat ng ninais ay pwedeng makuha.

run

in life there are many things we are running away from
for the reasons we think important
when we come to a point that we are so tired
that another step,
another breath
and another leap is a lifetime away.
we will be compelled to rest for a while
then sanity comes in
and reality sinks in
most of the times
it is the running thing that make us really tired
not the things we are running away from.

you exist unnoticed
you bloom unappreciated
yet the beauty in you
grows within
simple as it is
the true essence
of the wildflower...

libod

libod is the place where you can have glimpse and pieces of miracles...
let it touch your heart and lead you to a wonderful feeling of joy
allow the little wonders of creation amidst ordinary things
be one of the reason for life's celebration...

soundless tunes

i am sitting in front of the piano
but the pianist is not here...

the sight of a soundless piano is deafening me
for all I am hearing is the noise within...

it is hard to go through this transition but i'll make it...

one day the piano will make me happy again.
because i know a new melody is coming my way...

meanwhile, i'll let the soundless tunes play on

the piano and the pianist

what a joy to hear a wonderful sound
what a bliss to listen to a beautiful song
i hate the piano
and
i hate the pianist.

i ask myself
is it fair?
is it right?

no

there is no reason to hate the piano
and it is not right to loathe the pianist
because no matter how melancholic the sound
and how sad the song
the piano and the pianist still capture my heart
and will always be.

I guess I detest the piano
and the pianist now
because of the bitter and broken me.
