[not] Happy Birthday!

This is my second lonely birthday. Nothing special. Nothing exciting nor surprising. Greetings? Nah... they're just words. Just 7% of the total expression of feeling or emotion of a person. Though I still had appreciated the people who greeted me.

I tried to be happy. Believe me I did! After waking up, I talked to God [like I always do]. I thanked Him for my life and that I'm still alive. I also thanked for the loving people that I have now.
After that, I made my own breakfast. If there's a god or goddess of coffee, I'd be a devotee.. :D Anyway, family members, friends, and a best friend greeted me. And then, blah... blah... blah... yadah... yadah... yadah...

The sad part? It was another gone-in-the-calendar date. By the way, few days before this, I cut out the blocks that dated September 23 in all of the calendars in our home. So I guess that makes sense...
However, there's still one thing that kept my hope up. I was expecting for a very special gift from a very special person. Unfortunately... ... ...

Yeah! That's it! You got it! High five! :D

So, ummm... I'd probably start saving money now for my next birthday and I'll make sure it will be memorable and I'll enjoy every moment of it. After all, nobody knows my true happiness but me.

Contract of the Devil

I will give you the best of the thing you desire most. I will include everything you ask me in it and show it in front of you exactly as you told me to prove to you that it is real. But the moment you touch it, the person you love most will forget everything about you. You will be completely erased in that person's memory.

Come on! If I were you, I will accept this once in a lifetime offer without any hesitations! After all, I don't deprive you from loving anybody. It's not part of the contract. See? I'm still good. Anyway, you could start again. I know you can!

Amnesia

Ï: *Came in.* Hi honey!

Ü: *Lying on the floor.* Who are you?

Ï: What?

Ü: Who am I? What am I doing here?

Ï: What happened to you? Are you ok?

Ü: I can't remember anything.

Ï: Come on... don't be silly. Don't act like you have amnesia. *chuckled*

Ü: I... I can't... remember anything.

Ï: Are you serious?

Ü: Yes...

Ï: *Panicking* Oh my God! There's blood on your head! *Knelt down* Do you feel anything?! Something hurt?! What?! Tell me! Please!

Ü: My head hurts.

Ï: Ok... *trying to be calm* ummm… Let me call an ambulance.

Ü: No. Just stay here.

Ï: What?! You are bleeding and you want me to stay?! What am I going to…

Ü: Please. Calm down.

Ï: *Sighed* Ok.

/Silence./

… so... can you still remember what happened?

Ü: I told you I can't remember anything.

Ï: Then what else do you know? How can we...

Ü: All I know... is that I love you. *grinned*

/The world stopped./

Ï: *blank faced* Shut... up.

Ü: Gotcha! *laughed*

Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) by Baz Luhrmann

I've heard this on the radio station, my favorite, Magic 89.9 one afternoon in their program called 'Positive Note.' The first time I heard it, I felt chills in my whole body… but in a positive way of course. :D I was instantly rejuvenated like all the negative thoughts came out in me and disappeared in the air. It gave me energy and a positive thinking that life is sweet. Hell yea! You will appreciate your life when you hear this! :D

Here is the lyrics:

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99, wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.

A long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists.
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or reliable
than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice... now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Or never mind… you will not understand the power and
beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me.
In 20 years, you’ll look back at photos of yourself
and recall in a way you can’t grasp now
how much possibility lay before you
and how fabulous you really looked.
You’re not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future or worry,
but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an
algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind...
The kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing, everyday, that scares you.

Sing.
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts.
Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy.
Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind.
The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults.
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn’t know, at 22,
what they wanted to do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t.
Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t.
Maybe you’ll divorce at 40.
Maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much
or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance,
so are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body.
Use it every way you can.
Don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it.
It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.

Dance.
Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings, they are the best link to your past,
and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go.
But for the precious few, you should hold on.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
because the older you get, the more you need
the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.
Accept certain inaliable truths.
Prices will rise.
Politicians will philander.
You too will get old.
And when you do, you’ll fantasize that when you were young,
prices were reasonable,
politicians were noble,
and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse,
but you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair
or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but,
be patient with those who supply it.

Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Meet and greet. [ver.2]

Ü: /Bumaba sa airplane./

Ï: /Nagaantay sa arrival area. May dalang placard with "WELCOME Ü!" written on it./

Ü: /Nakita ang placard. Lumapit kay Ï/ Are you Ï?

Ï: *smile* and you're Ü, right?

/They hugged. Agaw atensyon sa mga taong malapit./

…so, tara na?

Ü: Saan?

Ï: My place of course! O, ako na magdadala ng isa mo pang bag. /kinuha ang bag./

Ü: *smile* Salamat.

/Nakarating sa bahay ng 6:36 pm./

Ï: Er… so… eto ang bahay ko. /binuksan ang pinto./ Come in… you are very much welcome. *smile*

Ü: /Pumasok. Nakaramdam ng bizarre warm feeling. Feels like second home daw./

Ï: Pasesya ka na ha! Maliit lang 'tong bahay ko.

Ü: hah? Maliit ba 'to? Ang luwag nga e... maaliwalas. Pero mukha namang kumpleto sa gamit.

Ï: Kumain ka na ba?

Ü: Yup! Gusto ko lang magpahinga.

Ï: Oh sure! Dun ka na sa kama ko matulog… dito na lang muna 'ko sa sofa.

Ü: 'deee… ok lang ako dit…

Ï: hey! You are my guest kaya sige na… ok lang.

Ü: /Nahiga sa kama./ *sigh* haaay… sa wakas. Teka, ok lang din kung dito ka na rin matulog. Tabi ta…

Ï: Wag na…

Ü: Ay nako! Kung 'di ka dito mahihiga, sa sahig ako matutulog.

Ï: *Hmp!* Abnomal ka talaga!

Ü: *Hehehe…*

/Nakahiga silang dalawa sa kama with a pillow in between./

…O di ba? E di masaya.

Ï: /humarap kay Ü./ *smile* alam mo ba, nung una kitang makilala, lagi kong hinihiling na sana pumunta ka dito. Pero nung tumagal at naging busy ka, parang 'di na ko umaasa na makakapunta ka pa dito. Pero ngayon, 'di pa rin ako makapaniwala. *giggle* parang wala na kong maisip na mas masaya pa kaysa dito.

Ü: Ganon? *laugh* E ako rin ata… akala ko nakalimutan mo na ko kasi simula nung naging medyo busy ako, di mo na ko masyado kinakausap.

Ï: Ano ka ba? Alam ko nga kasing busy ka kaya ayokong maging abala pa sa'yo.

Ü: *lol* Pwes, gusto ko lang malaman mo na gusto kong inaabala mo ako kasi kahit papano, panandaliang nawawala ang pagod ko and at the same time, nakakahugot din ako ng inpsirasyon para lalo ko pang pag-igihan ang ginagawa ko. Kaya nga nalungkot ako ng konti nung hindi ka na nagpaparamdam.

Ï: *frown and sigh* sooorryyy…

Ü: *Hehe...* pero wala na e… tapos na yon. Kalimutan na natin.

Ï: O sige. Pahinga ka na. Bukas na lang ulit.

Ü: *smile* Di ako makatulog e. Di na ko makapag-antay.

Ï: *Hmp!* Bahala ka! Basta ako matutulog na. Napagod kaya ako sa kakatayo at kakaantay sa'yo no! /looked away and turned on the other side./

Ü: /took away the pillow in between them and hugged Ï./ Yan, makakatulog na ko.

Ï: *sighed in relief*

Helpless

Words racing through my mind,
their destinations
hidden from my cognitive interogation...

I find myself
full of emotions,
yet empty and helpless
as fear casts a shadow
upon my heart...

I try to catch the words
as they pass by,
so I could show my love
how my heart does cry.

Please remove this fear
and take it out of here...

Allow love to restore
our faith and hope,
for very soon
we will hug and grope.
