LIHAM NG ANAK SA LUMAYONG INA
posted by loveless_poet (Sep 11, 2003 @ 9:25AM) views: 5216

Ma,

Alam mo Ma, ang hirap-hirap ng ginawa mo sa akin. Iniwanan mo akong nag-iisa alam mo namang ikaw lang ang lahat sa akin. Sa iyo lang umikot ang buong buhay ko nung naandito ka pa. Hindi mo man lang ako binigyan ng pagkakataong ihanda ang sarili ko sa pag-alis mo. Ang mahirap pa non, hindi man lang kita nakitang naratay sa sakit dahil nagtatrabaho ako sa malayong lugar nung umalis ka. Sana pinahirapan mo na lang akong magbantay sa iyo sa hospital hanggang sa mapikon na ako’t payagan kitang umalis. (Kahit imposible yatang mangyari iyon). Pero hindi eh. Itinaon mo pa ang pag-alis mo na wala ako. Siguro natakot tayong pareho sa lungkot na mararamdaman natin ano? Kaya lang sinolo mo lahat ang mga paghihirap. [...]

random sadness
posted by deejay (Sep 09, 2003 @ 6:09AM) views: 2141

It’s funny how sometimes, nothingness affects me so much, like an illness that creeps through my veins and cripples my brain. It brings me to a sense of narrow-mindedness and sends me into a whirlwind of emotions that, sooner or later will be forgotten unless triggered by another similar event. It’s a disease. My being so nonchalant at times.

It was a day not different from the countless mornings I woke up to. My eyes open slowly, wishing tomorrow won’t come, hoping this will be the last. [...]

ano ba talaga?
posted by ice_on_fire (Sep 06, 2003 @ 6:44AM) views: 5274

Naninikip ang dibdib ko... Di ako mapalagay... Naghihintay ako... Ng tawag mo, text, missed call (i wonder, kaya ba missed call ang tawag kasi namimiss ako? Patawa lang), o kahit missent message man lang.

Oo, pathetic, alam ko. Pero di ko mapigil, ito talaga ang nararamdaman ko. Chineck ko na email ko baka sakaling nag-email ka sa akin, kahit alam kong bihira mong buksan ung email account mo na sinet-up ko para sa yo... (Pangalan ko pa nga ang password mo eh). At kahit na alam kong ako lang rin ang nagbubukas ng email account mo para makita kong di mo nababasa yung mga emails na sinend ko sa yo... Binubura ko na nga lang yung iba kasi puputok na inbox mo.

Mr. Could Have Been...
posted by ponkai (Sep 04, 2003 @ 7:31AM) views: 5547

"It was nice talking to you again."

Iyon ang huli niyang sinabi before we hung up on the phone last night. Right after his phone call, tinext ko agad ang mga barkada ko para ikuwento ang nangyari. Hanggang ngayon, nangingiti pa rin ako kapag naaalala ko ang conversation namin kagabi. It has been two years since we last talked on the phone. At mahigit isang taon ko na rin siyang hindi nakikita pero, thinking of him still makes me feel so good. Siya si Gian, ang aking Mr. Could Have Been, ang isang malaking "What If" sa buhay ko.

Nagkakilala kami sa birthday ng barkada ko, four years ago. Hindi ako naniniwala sa love at first sight pero unang kita ko pa lang sa kanya, nagkaroon na agad ako ng interest. [...]

"Good Enough"
posted by genetic_freak (Sep 02, 2003 @ 5:20AM) views: 958

I was never ever one of the cool kids. I was never popular or impressive or particularly striking. During high school I was just "one of those guys". One of those guys who you'd invite to your party and you wouldn't really care if I showed up or not. One of those guys from whom you'd ask a favor this week and be grateful to, then when you pass me by the hall the following week you wouldn't even bother to say hi.

Let me do a little impression of Rosemary from the movie Shallow Hal to present a clearer picture: "In high school I was one of those kids who wasn't afraid to be smart and get good grades, someone who'd make you laugh and you'd laugh at, someone who had a lot of friends who were girls but no girlfriends".

Huling Ulan Sa Tag-Araw
posted by loyalista (Aug 30, 2003 @ 5:35AM) views: 3245

Naranasan mo na ba yung pakiramdam na para bang mayroon kulang sa buhay mo? Naranasan mo na ba yung mga araw na natutulala ka, yung tipong minsan e naluluha ka na lang kahit hindi mo maintindihan kung bakit? Yung para bang hindi mo na kaya at gusto mo nang sumuko. Kung oo ang sagot mo, marahil pareho tayo.

Nung bata pa ako, sabi ng kaibigan ko, ang ulan daw ay ang luha ng mga tao. Kapag tag-araw, lahat ng luha ng tao ay naiipon sa ulap. At kapag masyado na itong mabigat, bumabagsak ito bilang ulan. Noong una, hindi ko siya maintindihan. [...]

Hindi na lang sana
posted by deadhungry (Aug 28, 2003 @ 5:50AM) views: 4571

Ganito ba talaga pag na-in love? Kung alam ko lang na masasaktan ako, hindi na lang sana. Kung alam ko lang pabababain mo pagkatao ko hindi na lang sana ikaw.

Ano ba kasi pumasok sa kukote mo at naisipan mong guluhin ang maayos kong mundo? [...]

NOONG IN-LOVE KA PA
posted by potchie_cute (Aug 26, 2003 @ 6:45AM) views: 2284

Ang sarap yatang ma-in-love. Pag magkasama kayo, ang lakas talaga ng "spark", kasing lakas ng tibok ng puso mo. Magkaharap pa kayo ay naiisip mo na ang bukas para matawagan mo na siya at maayang makipag-date ulit, at mabigat talaga ang feeling pag maghihiwalay na kayo for the day, kasasakay mo pa lang ng jeep pauwi ay miss mo na sya agad. Hindi ka mapakali pag hindi mo siya nakakausap sa loob ng isang araw, siguradong tatawagan mo siya sa opisina, sa bahay at pag wala doon maglo-load ka sa cellphone mo at uubusuin ang 300 na prepaid sa mga tawag na wala naman ibang laman kundi bungisngis, kamustahan, at mga "sweet nothings". At ang goodbye sa telepono ay hindi matapos-tapos, hindi nyo malaman kung sino ang unang magbababa at umaasa kang may "Take care" sa huli, at kung may "I love you" pang kasama ay naku! parang nasa langit ka na.

Two Stories
posted by Ocho & Bob (Aug 23, 2003 @ 6:22PM) views: 686

A couple of superbly-written literary pieces from a couple of bloggers extraordinaire. One essay sings a bittersweet paean to a girl, while another tells of a poignant longing. Excerpts:

A few exact centimeters separated their touch. They were a fragile, plumpish rose red. They were moist, soft and subtle in all their innocence. They were licked and they were bitten. But above them all, they defined her as the person that she was.

***

I have my father's face. That's what most people who knew him would never fail to mention. I wouldn't know if that was true. I derived my limited memories of him from a 10inch-by-14inch framed portrait that Lola had commissioned someone to paint [...]

Fire & Ice
posted by ice_on_fire (Aug 21, 2003 @ 6:02AM) views: 2908

Two essays and one gorgeous poem from the prolific ice_on_fire. An excerpt:

I would have wanted to dance under the moonlight with you,
and see if you would go wild with the glory of freedom
and celebrate life by shouting to the stars
and if you would be naked with love.

I would have wanted a lifetime with you [...]
