Y de pronto, no estás. Adiós, amor, adiós.
Ya te marchaste.
Nada queda de ti. La ciudad gira:
molino en el que todo se deshace.

At bigla kang nawala. Paalam, pag-ibig, paalam.
Nakaalis ka na.

I'm still seething in annoyance.

I thought I'd be able to get in and log in to work on time. You know how just when you're rushing to meet a deadline, stupid coincidences keep popping in and causing delays and frustration all around? Of course, those things will happen.

So. Elevator. I saw one of the open lift doors about to close and was walking ( Read more... )

I will not apologize for the juvenile behavior. I threw away my pair of green Gazelles after I found out someone in the family washed it while I was away in Quezon.
