A Love Like Yours

I was about to type an entry about the Anti-GMA SONA Rally I attended, but a whiff of the favorite perfume of a dear friend drove me to click and open my personal folder.

Point. Double-click. Look. Point. Double-click. Search. Assorted Documents.

It was then that I saw a poem. Thoughts of my friend came up suddenly like mushrooms during the rain.

I opened it and I remembered this poem came in an email. Alongside the poem was a very touching heartfelt message. I decided to read the poem again. Just so.

A Love Like Yours, the title said.

Damn. I don't think I ever want to read this again. This poem that touched my heart, this poem that came from a friend, this poem that aptly described the then situation. Reading this would bring back haunting memories... and I'm quite sure of that.

But I persisted, I continued to read.

You came into my life
when I needed you the most,
you offered me your heart,
your support and held me so close.
You guided me out of all my misery,
you cared, you listened
and you set all of my worries free.
You gave me strength when I was weak
you reached for my hand
to guide me back on my feet.

You offered me your shoulder
when I needed to cry.
You encouraged me to stay strong
and to always try.
You are like a sweet angel from the sky.
You bring me so much joy
and you lift my spirits so high.

Should I go on? Yes? No? Yes.

You always were the one that stood by me
you assured me how beautiful my life could be
you took away all my pain and sadness
you gave me hope and showed patience
and erased my sorrows and madness.

You have captured my heart and soul,
you are what I need, you know.
You are truly my very best
and you stand out above the rest.
You really mean the world to me,
you are everything that true love should be.
You are not only my friend and lover,
you are the one that I want to be with forever.
You are truly my one soul mate,
you are my destiny, my everything
and you are my faith.

Alas, I finished perusing the long-forgotten poem. After reading, I pondered on our past. You were the one who walked away, not I. I know I was selfish. I thought of nothing but myself. I never realized that I hurt you... until now.

The past is past. How many times have I told you that? And yes, we could never be more than friends. So I guess now you know why I told you that shocking words over a serving of Jollibee Ice Craze. Those words you heard were of concern. I don't want to hurt you more. I just want you to stop hoping... that someday we could be together. It's all for the better.

For all those is just a dream. I hope you understand. Kisa, it's time to move on.

Looking forward to...

Toxicity

This week had been very toxic for me. (Actually, the following week would be too.) Acad Exams, Manila Collegian activities, and everything else kept me really busy.

Want to know what I really want right now?

Sleep beside my love.

That's all and I'm happy already. I just want to detoxify... Hopefully, I could detoxify soon after the exams. Darn. I sooo want to rest for a whole day! Save me, you guys. Where are you when I need you? (Heck, how dramatic.)

Anyhoo, just wanna tell you guys that I'm still alive. (As if you all care.) Hahaha.

I want to sleep. Imma post a really good entry when I have time. So sorry for not being active in Tabulas. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you guys ASAP.

Love ya guys. Mwah!

An hour and a half at Taft Ave.

Yesterday, I had the misfortune, rather, the pleasure, of spending an hour and a half at Taft Avenue. I was assigned by Claire, the News Editor of The Manila Collegian, to cover the Youth DARE Walk-Out/Human Chain at Philippine Christian University. Nery, another writer for MKule, was asked to accompany me.

Nery and I arrived there at around 4:45 in the afternoon, we met Gia and this other girl of Anakbayan, I think. We were there to cover the event and, of course, write about it.

The event was covered by ABS-CBN and GMA too. If you weren't watching the news, you would think, "Too bad. I missed seeing Monique on TV." But you should be thankful coz you missed nothing. LOL Why? I'm a low-profile person so I kept myself behind the camera. Hahaha.

I have an amusing and annoying story to tell. There was this guy, who I think was from PCU, who kept on asking people really weird stuff. First, Nery and I saw him talking to a reporter of GMA. We thought that he was also a writer for a school paper. He then went to our group then asked each of our names and from what school we were. When everyone was introduced, including I, he shot this shocking question at me: "Are you alone?" I don't know what his definition of alone was. I couldn't be "alone" because I'm surrounded by my colleagues. I answered, "Huh?" He then answered back, "Are you single?" Woah. Now that's extreme. What is this guy doing in Taft Ave. asking a girl like me if I'm "alone"? We then ignored him after that. I thought that was the end of him. Wrong. He came back inquiring about personal info this time. Freaky. I pretended that I was writing something, in short, I snobbed him. Call me bad, but he's rude.

Anyway, I don't think I'd want to stay there at Taft again. People are touching me there... holding my hand... caressing my arms... etc. It's freaky. It's like you're being harrassed and you're not even aware of it. Oh well, I might just be exaggerating, my bad.

Anyway, the activity was stressful for there were a lot of noise, pollution, smoke, etc. Plus, we had to run from one end to another just to interview representatives of different orgs. That's part of the job and I loved that part. :-D Aside from writing, walking is one of my favorite things to do. Let's just say that it's part of my daily exercise. LOL

Oh well... that's most of what happened yesterday. Was really tired by the end of the day. :(

By the way, wanna know what made me feel less bored while waiting for the Human Chain to start? It was chatting with the cameramen and with Nery. Plus, I met lots of new people there so having small talks kept me sane. LOL

Hopefully, I'd get to write again at my blog more often. Help me find time. :P

I haven't had dinner yet and I'm hungry. Hahaha.

See ya guys! Mwah!

Busy Butterfly

That's the right word to describe what I am.

Let me list the things that are keeping me busy.

Acads

Whoever thought that college life is easier? It certainly is much more fun but the work sure is heavy. For almost every subject, a reaction paper must be passed every session. Argh. Aside from reaction papers, there were homeworks, seatworks, quizzes, seminars, orientations, and other stuff that really make acads toxic.

The Manila Collegian

I know you all guys have been wondering what happened to my application. I passed the 1st part of application and I'm now in the second. :) Pray for me y'all because I really want to get in here!

PhilippinePets.Com

Well, I haven't been posting lately because I have not much time to do so, but I read posts! I post from time to time though. And recently, I won a book! :) It's like an all-you-wanted-to-know-about Shih Tzu type of book. :-D I'm so excited to read it!

Lucius

Yes, my wonderful, ever-loving dog. :) He's fine, if that's what you want to know. He's getting big, even for just a fraction of an inch. LOL I wonder when he's gonna get really big. He's on Cherifer and he's eating a lot. I wonder why he hasn't grown big yet. :( He's due for his last vaccination shot and anti-rabies shot anytime this week. I haven't gotten hold of a camera yet so no recent pictures for now. Hmmm... Come to think of it, I have pictures of Lucius taken using our digicam. Problem is, I have no memory card reader. I can't find the USB cable. :(

Meeting with NEW Friends

I've actually met lots of NEW friends. :) Some were from Tabulas, some from other places. I've met Toni aka ~wynette from Tabulas and even had lunch with her (at Karate Kid). Had so much fun!!! (Toni, the pictures ok? :D) I've met lots of other people but some are not worth mentioning. LOL *peace*


So that's what's keeping me busy...

And now sorry to all my friends in Tabulas who I haven't visited in a long, long time. I'll make it up to you, guys. :)

By the way, I'm sick right now. I have the flu. :( I've had this for 3 days already. Huhu.

Another thing, I already have Harry Potter Books 1 to 5 and thank you a good friend. You know who you are. :)


[What follows is pure ranting.]

How could you do this to me? I trusted you and you betrayed my trust. What have I done to deserve this kind of treatment from me? Why are you doing this to me? Why are you trying to destroy my life? Answer me. And please, stop stabbing me behind my back.

Interview Me

1. Leave me a comment saying "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions.
3. Post the answers to the questions on your Tabulas/LJ/Xanga/Blogger or any other blog host.
4. Include this explanation.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, ask five questions.

From Chuchay:

1. What do you think makes you unique?

I think it's my patience. It's because it would take a lot of effort to really make me mad. So if you want me to get mad at you for a simple thing, then sorry, you're efforts will be in vain. :P Or maybe my ambition, I've been told that I'm unlike most teenagers because they see that I have a cause for life. They see me around pets, helping others, doing web designs and other stuff that are unlike what other teenagers do -- chatting, texting, gimmicking, etc.

2. Who is the most influential person for you? Why?

Hm... There are a lot of influential persons for me... First person that came to my mind is Confucius. :) I live by some of his philosophies and he really IS influential -- in a very good way.

3. Do you think Tweety Bird and Winnie the Pooh are gay?

Now that's a funny question! I don't think so. :P

4. What do you prioritize the most? And would you you go out of your way to meet that priority?

Right now, the #1 in my priority list is my acads. (That's academics for you guys.) I've been out of school for a year so I really need to catch up on my acads. *wink* And yes, I would go out of my way just to excel in my acads. What I mean is, I'll do everything possible -- in a legal and honorable way -- just to excel in this field.

5. How would you define love?

Whenever asked, I say this... "Love is like an uncut diamond. One false stroke and it can shatter into fragments. And all that remains is a scatter of tears." I got that from a Mills & Boons book. :)

My Mommy Chuchay

Chuchay has been my friend since last year. You might want to ask how we exactly met? I guess we could say that she found me. I remember her placing a tag on my then tagboard asking help for her blog layout. Since I was offering my free service that time, I tagged back at her and that was the start of our friendship. She asked me to make a layout featuring Top Suzara of Freestyle. Since then, we've been constantly chatting on the net and she even started calling me on the phone. I was so shocked and honored then when she opened up herself to me, and yes, I was so willing to accept her as my friend. We treat each other as bestfriends; that is, together with Rizzie.

Over time, we've been always in touch with each other. It was hard then since I didn't have my own cellphone. Anyway, we talk via Y!M, email, and landline. I really value our friendship. I run to her for advices about love, friendship, work, school, and other stuff. She was like a big sister to me and me like her little sister. That's when she started calling me "shobe" and me calling her "achee". We've been calling each other that for weeks when I was introduced to her "Mommy" Aelainee. I can't recall what exactly brought Chuchay to call me her "anak." It was fine by me, it was really great. She's actually younger than me (by 2 years) yet she's my "mommy."

Anyway, I just want to thank God for bringing her to my life. My world was brighter when she entered. She was like the "angel" that she is. Thank you Mommy Chuchay for being a good mom to me. *wink* We've been together through good times and bad. And though we still haven't met in person, it's like we've known each other for years. I'm just thankful that you're there for me, always. And remember, I'm here for you too. Love you lots!
