it is a bit funny how memories appear suddenly, sometimes.

it was raining hard this afternoon and i was walking down some roads and in the throng of strangers, i thought i caught a glimpse of you, in a red shirt and then everyhting flashed back to more than a year ago.

i saw you on the street, alone, it was night and we caught each other's sight and ( Read more... )

Towards your island of magic

slowly now,
we are again being separated
by the wind that whispers your name
by the waves that call on me
and the ripples are well-lit
even with invisible stars

songs are sang
by strangers i may never know
crowding the space betwee us
that grows wider each second

only for now though,
only for now.

i listen to my heart
and it beats ( Read more... )

pati ang mga tala
na dati-rati'y iginuguhit
ang iyong pangalan
ngayon ay tila
sadyang kinalimutan
ang pangakong
habangbuhay magiging saksi
sa pagsintang inialay sa iyo

ang mga alon ng karagatan
hindi na inaawit
ang mga tula ng iyong pag-iral
o ang mga hinagpis
ng aking sa iyo'y bawat saglit
na pagtangi
o ang mga umagang pinangingiti
ng iyong yakap
ang aking puso

in a few hours, i'll be leaving cagayan de oro, the golden city that has completely inflicted my heart with so much magic that i am definitely coming back here.

i will write about my travails when i get home tomorrow. or few days after that.

let me just say two things: mindanao is magical and i am coming back.

 tinutukso ako ng umagang ito
ang mga silahis ng araw ay nanunutil
pilit binabalik
ang bawat mong pagngiti

umiindayog sa aking mga mata
ang liwanag
na unti-unting hinuhubog
ang iyong
maalindog na mukha

bakas sa mga ulap
ang iyong mga matang
minsa'y nalulumbay sa dilim
minsa'y maligaya sa madaling -araw
minsa'y mapang-akit s abukang liwayway
minsa'y tila walang ( Read more... )

to  say that i am struggling right now to stand firm by what i have decided is a staggering understatement.it is almost like i am in purgatory wishing for either hell to come fast or heaven to rescue me right away.

but it's not easy.tears form oceans.nights are sleepless.heart is crushed. i almost believed it will take me three lifetimes.

but i was willing.
i thought i can never do it.but i did it.and i'm glad it's over.

now, i can fly.
