Late Night Sleepy Thoughts 2 (Because I can't think of a good title)

As I lie on my bed waiting for time to speed up and my sleeping pill to be on effect, I drown myself in PC games and internet while I still can. I am stressed but I'm not, I'm scared but I'm not, I'm angry but I'm not. I don't understand why I feel like I don't know how to feel the moment. Well, I feel the moment, but worry about the future. I think of the future at the moment. It's stupid and it's really annoying. For now, I'll be optimistic whatever happens. I believe things could be better. Happiness for now is the best illusion I could project.

Late Night Sleepy Thoughts 1

We are who we aren't. There's always more than meets the eye. In fact, it could even be less than what we think it already is. We always expect to be able to read everything from just using what we see as the sole basis for making conclusions. We always want to believe in something that could be wrong. We always want to feel right by manipulating the world. It's funny, how we reluctantly smile at strangers we come across daily, how we say sorry even though the other is at fault, how we make impulsive decisions that hinder long-term goals, how we don't hesitate to deny others' requests, how we let ourselves be obedient even to the silliest of laws. It's also funny how the human mind has an optimistic side where our subconsciousness runs to when it needs to feel safe. It's where the mind drowns itself with all these happy thoughts that aren't always true. *** On the other hand, what we are inside is never fully revealed, needless to say. It'...

Role Play

In Manila, most of my friends and close friends in general were girls. When we were in high school, we would usually hang out in the tree houses we have at our school until the first class starts. Every lunch, my group of friends consisting of a dozen girls would squeeze into a table fit for eight. We would talk about our funny moments or even some embarrassing ones that we don't usually share with everyone else. We would laugh together and even throw some crumbs of food at each other when we end up being too crazy. We would eat each other's food, with or without the other's consent.  Everything was fun, maybe except for the drama that came along with our tight bond. I, myself, was doubting the very core of our friendship. But hey, we've been close and there's nothing I can do about that now.  At certain times I would cry myself to sleep because of that doubt that turned into true deception. It's unlikely for me to cry because of petty things, ...

Distance Matters

dis·tance /ˈdistəns/ An amount of space between two things or people. The amount of time for communication and how far two people are from one another actually matter. For the record, not every "absence" makes the heart grow fonder. It's usually the opposite. Only a few things are worth the wait. 

Happy Independence Day!

Paglingon sa Pinanggalingan

First post ever written using my native language. Sometimes it's easier to express yourself in your mother tongue. Mothers know best, right? *wink* I'm using modern Filipino here so if ever anyone wants to open a translator, everything might not be translated correctly. 0:) __________ Minsan hindi mo aakalaing may mga pangyayari sa buhay mo na babalik-balikan mo lang talaga. Alam niyo yun? Yung tipong mangingiyak-ngiyak ka na sa kakaisip? Sa sobrang excited mo makaharap yung kinabukasan mo, minsan iisipin mo na lang kung bakit nangyayari yun. Dahil ba sa mga pinaggagawa mo dati? Tadhana? Gawa ng Nasa Langit? O sadyang ganito lang ang daan ng buhay mo? Akala mo may mga daungan pa at pasikot-sikot sa daan ng buhay, pero 'yun pala, kasama lang sa mga pagdadaanan mo yung mga problema. 'Yun pala, tuwid yung daan talaga. Hindi mo lang napapansin. Isa 'yan sa mga misteryo ng buhay na hindi ko gusto suriin pa. May mga bagay sa mundo na mas mabuti pang hindi mo al...
