swings
Friday, April 16, 2010

Another Friday, another week almost over. I can't seem to move today, guess I need to do some yoga. I still can make it.. okay I'm turning my cellphone off soon as I post this. The narrative can wait. I can not concentrate on what to do..bummer.

I was talking to a friend earlier, asked me if its hot in PI now. Is it just me or have you noticed too, its not that humid this year. I even put the ac on timer at nights. Good thing about voip you can talk endlessly without worrying about charges. Provided its past 9pm EST it's okay to call. I guess we won't be complete this summer. The thing is we usually hang around more often on summer at the park. It's great to hang out at our park.When it's late we make the swing groan.Yeah we do that haha. I can not explain it but there is always a breeze. Must be the way the buildings surround the park. Okay now next summer then. Hold on, do I drive north later?

permissions and posts
Wednesday, April 14, 2010

I have been asked by friends (college buddies and facebook friends alike) why I deleted my old posts. To this I have no clear answer at all. Were the posts dark and gloomy or bouncy and jovial? I guess you guys are the ones who can answer this. Anyways since I started writing again I already received messages from 62 different facebook friends. Some sharing their own perspective on things, some just commenting, others giving suggestions others just thanking for the laughter. Some said they came for the songs :] Oh some did ask how to start to write. One particular message stuck with me though and this came from someone I was not personally close to. She went on by saying that she read my posts even from my old account. She's in Europe now, can't tell you where though..that would be a dead giveaway:] This is a testament that somehow we can connect with others if we wish to.

I still have access to my old posts, to publish them again I have to give it a thought. Oh today I'll post a photo by Mariel Chiong, saw it on the home page and loved it rightaway, check her photos out. Thanks Mariel and cheers to your photo. Another example of connecting with our friends.

three dimensional e-maze
Tuesday, April 13, 2010

I chanced upon this conversation as I was searching for a particular email in my inbox.Such wit she would match you point to point and won't back down :]

..i have so many things that i'd like to do but i am doing something else that i don't have to do that leaves me not enough time for the things that i want and have to do!!! - this is like a puzzle, a maze of words. u lost me on the 20th word hehe :) anyways there are two assumptions one can derive from this maze.

A. u are literally swamped with work. when the little extra time u have comes u got no more energy to do the things that u want and have to do.

B. u are avoiding the things u want and have to do..u said it urself u are doing things u dont have to do..meaning u have time on ur hands to do the things u want and have to do..lol that maze made me sound like u

good to hear from u.
take care now :p

fortunate accidents
Sunday, April 11, 2010

Have you ever had a series of fortunate accidents? Of all the unlucky people in the world, to which I belong to, I ironically am probably the luckiest when it comes to matters regarding chancing upon the prettiest of the lot.

This is a fairytale I tell you. It was August this I'm sure of, after a long drive I proceeded to a street near Ateneo, parked across a house just beneath a tree. As I got off my vehicle I heard some chuckling behind me. I said my first hello looking up a tree! What she was doing there I had no idea at all and it did not even matter.

It was supposed to be a simple moment shared by strangers who happen to be passing by. But this one was never meant to be a stranger. She's one of those who speaks while smiling at you. All you can do is stare and smile back. Considering this as a stroke of fate, flowers were an absolute requirement, which I promptly did. Thus the fairytale started.

It was so hard not to call. We both realized there was something with this fortunate accident. Good morning calls soon became tell me about your day calls. August 19 was the first day I took her out. August 22nd, a stormy night, we sneaked inside Ateneo. The campus was deserted not a soul stirred. Time and again there are times we do not wish to change this was one of those. First kiss which happens but once. I remember running my fingers through her one length hair. She put her index finger to my lips saying I always bite my lower lip when I look at her face. I so badly wanted to let that night stay as it was.

The next 7 years was a continuous symphony of these fortunate accidents. We never formally agreed on it but the 1st of January was always ours to share. Boyfriends and girlfriends are set aside for a day. Funny how we never argued and converse as if not a day or a year passed by. I even watched Reality Bites with her. In the midst of this 7 year stretch was our annual May 1 hike. On one hike we silently agreed not to mind other hikers and went together. With us it was as if things never skip a beat. It was such an easy thing to do, though it's been quite awhile we had/have this unique style of just smiling and knowing what to do.

Told you this was a fairytale!
oh her name is ________

i guess this is fitting :]

rants and grunts of a single dad
Saturday, April 10, 2010

Woke up to the tune of bones cracking, ligaments popping lol kidding! Heard Jennifer Love Hewitt's barenaked playing, yes I like the song, I set it as my cellphone's ring tone so I don't rush to pick it up. I usually get 2-4 missed calls before I answer :]. Anyways got to get Elijah back to the doctor for follow up. We got there too early.
I had my haircut. As I was sitting down staring blankly I came to realize that a room full of barbers and men young and old where intently discussing ...of all topics the Miss Universe controversy!!! I came so close to literally laughing out loud. That one group was defending and giving points of argument for a candidate did not really help, at this point I was controlling,not very successfully, my shoulders to avoid a full blown laughter. It was for all intents and purposes a real live debate. The topic may be argued as valid and has its merits. The irony was looking at men with scissors and razors argue about the right and proper age of entering a beauty pageant. They suddenly became authorities in the what and what nots of beauty pageants haha!
OMG the doctor is not yet in! Good thing Elijah can get in and off the car with ease considering its just a day since the operation. went to the mall since I promised to buy him a new cellphone. It was actually a bribe to get him circumsised. As luck would frown on him his phone of choice was out of stock. This day is not going well at all..not at all. To top it all we are at this point of time getting hungry. Now a hungry father and son is not a good mix add to this I'm walking with a limp and the little fella walking with a duck like motion plus the frown! We can't even get to the foodcourt from the theater area without bumping to someone asking us what happened to us. Instead of going through a four day explanation I simply tell them I forgot my vitamins. They would leave with blank expressions haha. We decided to head to the car and leave the mall go to a buy one take burger counter and ate in peace in the car. Things do get better

My foot still hurts! Every morning my left ankle has this crazy swollen feeling...bummer!

Exploratory meeting at around 9am. Franchise agreement, service agreement,profit and loss such a complex topic, good thing been doing this for years. Cheers to my partner fast worker like me, multitasking and all. Cross your fingers we get both accounts.

Hey today Elijah got circumcised. Lunch at Max's then took him to the doctor. Oooooh he got nervous a bit at the start. I was wondering what was going trough a little boy's mind at such a life changing event.I can see tears rolling down his cheeks but not a word or grunt came out his mouth. He just locked his gaze to mine as the doctor was doing the procedure. I badly badly wanted to hug him.

Another step towards his manhood. He was cheerful though when we were walking towards the car, even managed to crack a joke. One more cheer for the day this time for the little fella.
