4 years and 9 months of being together made him sure that she is "The One." Yes, he knew it in his heart that somehow they are meant to be together. Ryan always finds it unfair that Jasmine wouldn't even give him a kiss. Not insulting, he was too understanding for that. Just...unfair. Besides, they have been together for almost 5 years."It's just...
(Warning: Cheesy Lines ahead. Don't say I didn't warn you.)Matigas talaga ang ulo niya.Ilang beses ko ng sinabing maghanap na lang siya ng iba. Yung kayang pantayan ang kaya niyang ibigay.Pero sino nga bang mas matigas ang ulo--siya na ayaw maghanap ng iba? O ako na pinipilit siyang magmahal ng iba kahit hindi naman niya kaya?This pretty much sums up one of my...
Excitedly she awokethis twenty-second of Decemberfor she received a message the day before.She showered and got dressedand went about her usual day,counting hours to four.And when at last the hour cameshe almost skipped had she not contained herself.Bought herself some icecream coneand stumped her feet to a song.'Ah, he's here.' she thought beaming.'Happy Birthday.' he said. Not looking at her.'I came by to...
Iniisip ko na kung ano ba talaga ang hinahanap ko sa librong 'to. Nang bilhin ko ang Kapitan Sino ni Bob Ong, inaamin ko. Nag-alangan ako. Iniisip ko kung sulit ba talaga ang 175 pesos ko. Una pa lang kasi tumingin na ko ng mga book reviews tungkol sa latest release ni Tito Bob. (haha. I'm really used to calling him names as if we're close.) Dahil dito, hinanda ko na ang sarili ko sa isang matinding disappointment.
Last page-pahid ng luha. Tapos ngingiti. Isang malaking buntong hininga. "Ibang level na si Bob Ong." naisip ko. Mali ang review. Hindi boring ang libro. Hindi lang siguro nila makita ang gustong iparating ng libro. Maaring nakita nga nila, ayaw namang tanggapin. Mukhang kagaya ng kadalasang pagkakamali ng isang fan (base sa pagtanggap nila sa huling 3 libro ni B.O.) ikinulong nila ang paboritong maunulat sa isang istilo. Typical. Karamihan ng mambabasa gusto na ang storya, ang moral, parang hapunan na ihahain sa harap nila. Ayaw na nilang mag-analyze. Wala ng isip-isip pa. Tapusin ang dapat tapusin.
Ang tanging reklamo ko lang sa libro ay ang setting nito. 1980's mga pare! Sabi ni B.O. star-studded daw ang Kapitan Sino. Oo nga. Pero tanong pa din ako ng tanong sa mama ko kung sino si ganito, ano ang ganyan at kung guwapo ba talaga si Jograd dela Torre.
Sino nga ba si Kapitan SINO? Siya ang sundalong tinitiis mawalay sa pamilya para protektahan ang bayan, ang doktor na wala sa mamahaling ospital kundi nasa liblib na baryo kung saan ang maibibigay lamang na kabayaran ng mga tao ay mga sariwang prutas, gulay at manok. Maaring siya rin ang pulitikong pinipiling manatiling mahirap kesa tumanggap ng lagay. Pero hindi natin alam, siya rin pala ang metro aid na masipag na nagwawalis sa ilalim ng matinding sikat ng araw o ang pasaherong nababa sa tamang babaan (malamang hindi ako yun!) o kahit na ang batang nakapulot ng wallet at ibinabalik sa may-ari.
Maaring kilala mo sila, maaari ring hindi. Kadalasan hindi. Pero pwede ring syang siya, sila, ako at lalong pwedeng maging ikaw. Kailangan pa ba talaga natin ng Rogelio Manglicmot para ipaalala sa atin na lahat tayo pwedeng maging bayani?
Ito ang hamon ni Kapitan Sino sa bawat isa sa atin. Ang maging "Bayani ng sarili mong buhay". Magsimula tayo sa sarili nating mga kalat, at kung may lakas pa tayo, tumulong na rin tayo sa iba.
Pero sana naman, sana lang, balang araw, maging Kapitan Sino rin ako. Hindi lang ng mga mahal ko sa buhay kundi sa buhay ng mas marami pang tao.=))
Yikes! I haven't practiced my right for freedom of speech and self-expression for a few weeks now! Terrible! There's no excuse for this. (Okay. I'm overreacting. hehe.)Updates?

Nag-iisip. Nag-iisip ka na naman. Tahimik uli sa isang tabi.Nakatingin. Sa kanya. Pinapakinggan mo ang kanta. Hmm. Oo nga pala. Kakanta daw siya para sayo. Napangiti ka sa sarili.

In keeping with the love month atmosphere,let me tell you a story. Read this at one of the Men's/Gadgets Magazine my dad brought home when I was in 2nd year high school-entitled as "FATAL ATTRACTION". (Okay, I read almost anything I get my hands on. Hehe.) There was this couple who met when they were in graduate school at some Ivy League University...

I'm sharing. Again. I know Senator Roxas' P.I issue is so 2008 but cha-cha, while Pres. GMA is still in Malacañang, will still be a threat till 2010.
