child's play

Hindi ito tungkol kay chucky, tungkol ito sa literal na child's play. pinoy way.

Naalala mo pa ba nung mga 5 o 6 na taon ka pa lang kung saan nakikipagtakbuhan ka sa mga kalaro mo at tinuturing niyo na na isa yong masayang laro, ang tawag... habulan. Matatapos lang ang laro 'pag napagod na kayong lahat o kaya kumagat na ang dilim at tinawag na kayo ng nanay ninyo para pumasok sa loob ng bahay.

Eh 'yung, tagu-taguan? At kailangang kantahin nung taya 'yung themesong ng laro na "tagu-taguan maliwanag ang buwan, masarap maglaro ng dilim-diliman. pagbilang ng sampu nakatago na kayo, 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10. Kung sinong huling magpunta sa base at magsabi ng "save" siya ang taya o kaya naman kung sino'ng unang "ma-boom" ng taya.

Meron ding medyo relihiyoso na "langit-lupa" at gaya ng taguan eh meron din itong soundtrack na may lyrics na "langit-lupa, impyerno,im-im-impyerno, saksak-puso tulo ang dugo, patay-buhay, umalis ka na diyan sa pwesto mo...". Para lang din 'tong habulan pero level-up ito... hindi ka pwedeng tayain kapag nasa mataas na lugar ka kasi nga langit 'yun! Gaya ng langit-lupa, meron ding sili-tubig na deviation lang din ng larong habulan.

Kabilang din sa listahan ang patintero (kung saan nauso ang salitang patotot), tumbang preso, piko at kung anu-ano pang laro na hindi na nalalaro ng mga bata ngayon sa siyudad...

Sayang, hindi nila natutunan ang saya ng pagsabi ng time-first lalo na 'pag matataya na, pang-aasar ng BUROT sa mga kalarong natataya nang natataya nang paulit-ulit. Sayang talaga.

Nasa inyo ang kakampi ko, nasa akin ang kakampi nyo...gusto nyo palit-bote tayo?

Pondering: imagine the good times, feet the bad times

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
- Falling Slowly, Kris Allen

I love her...but she doesn't know about it.. she doesn't even have a single clue...but I do not intend to let her know... I want to keep it as it is... we are better off as strangers.. I think.

Have you ever been in love?

People from different parts of the globe and from all walks of life have always imagined to find that one person who would complete them but along the way things will not turn the way you imagined it to be and that one person you feel love for isn't the person you imagined to give it to...

It is very much exciting to talk about the exchange of sweet nothings between you and your loved one but oftentimes, people end up having nightmares or sleepless nights because of a failed love...

We look tirelessly for that perfect person yet when we found them we just can't say to them the words we have memorized from the moment we learned what love was...

You can go half-way around the world just to follow our special one but when we found them, they already belong to somebody...

You flirted with numerous girls and tell them how sweet and beautiful they are and just how much you like them but your tongue got twisted upon seeing the only person you wanted to spend life with...

Many girls dream of having a prince who will come at their rescue and sweep their feet off but in the end they will settle to be the bestfriend..."just bestfriend" or worse, the other woman...

Sometimes, they are just beside you waiting to be noticed but when oyu finally take a glimpse of her angelic face and started falling for her, that's when you realize you don't stand a chance on the person because of two reasons...(1) you're not her type and (2) she is going steady with someone who's so better than you...

We anticipated and practiced each sweet line not knowing they will never come along ...

We waited for love to come along...yet when it came... you let it pass... or it took a pass on you...

Girls can kiss a lot of frogs to find her prince just like a man can try that glass shoe to find for that lady who would have the perfect fit but how long are you going to do it? How far can you get?

Pondering: Bestfriend

Sinong bestfriend mo?

Naaalala ko pa kung paano ko tinatanong iyan sa lahat ng mga kaklalase kong napapalapit sa akin sa pag-asang bestfriend nila ako...nakakatawa kung gaano ko pinahahalagahan NOON ang isang tawag na hindi naman talaga ang importante, gaya nga ng sabi ng kaibigan ko "ang kaibigan ay kaibigan, kahit anong tawag mo basta kaibigan mo, yun sya!". Pagdating ko ng hayskul, nagkaroon ako ng tatlong bestfriend, 'yung isa pareho kaming weird kaya naman nagkakasundo kami, 'yung isa super bait at massayahin kaya gusto ko siyang kasama madalas at ang huli ay napakamapanlait at masungit pero siya ang ultimate bestfriend ko at kahit di kami masyado magkita kahit malapit lang ang bahay namin sa isa't isa eh parang hindi kami naghiwalay kung mag-usap 'pag nagkita ulit.

Kanina sa pagtingin ko sa Friendster at Facebook account niya eh nakita ko ang bago niyang group of friends sa mga pics na in-upload niya at nakaramdam ako ng lungkot. Naisip ko, gaano pa kaya katagl kaming magiging magkaibigan kung ngayon pa lang eh may kanya-kanya na kaming mga buhay at iba na rin ang mga grupo ng kaibigan na meron kami...Nakakatakot na mawala at masayang na lang ang halos 8 years naming friendship at ilang taon ng pagiging bestfriends.

Ano nga ba ang bestfriend? Sapat na ba na magkasundo kayo palagi o madalas kayong magkasama? Okay na ba 'yung hindi kayo nagtatalo at masaya kay o'pag magkasama kayo? Kailangan bang isa lang ang bestfriend?

Hindi ko alam ang mga sagot pero sa tingin ko 'pag bestfriends kayo eh hindi naman pwedeng magkasundo kayo lagi at hindi na nagtatalo, ang kailangan lang eh nagcocompliment kayo sa isa't isa. Okay na 'yung magtalo basta sa huli tanggap niyo na mayroon kayong mag pagkakaiba at hindi niyo na dapat pinagtatalunan kung sinong tama o mali, ang importante nasasakyan ninyo ang tama ng bawat isa. Hindi rin naman maganda ang lagi kayong magkasama dahil hindi naman kayo magsyota...bestfriends lang. Alam ninyo dapat kung anong posisyon ninyo bilang bestfriend..may mga pampribadong aspeto sa buhay kasi ang bestfriend ninyo na hindi niyo dapat hinahakbangan. At higit sa lahat, hindi naman importante kung ilan ang bestfriend na meron ka basta alam mo kung paano sila pahahalagahan pero darating ka talaga sa punto na merong kaibigan na pinakaiintindi sa iyo at makakasundo mo, kung sino man iyon, hindi naman kailangan lagyan ng label na bestfriend mo siya...it happens naturally. At hindi porke't bestfriend mo eh bestfriend ka rin... hayaan mong 'yung kaibigan mo ang tumuring sa iyo... hindi mo dapat ipilit dahil treasure ang kaibigan hindi lang basta possesion na dapat may pangalan, iniingatan ito at tinatago ng mabuti ang mga ala-alang naipon ninyong dalawa... dahil kahit hindi man kayo maging magkasama sa huli, ang mahalag naranasan mong magkaroon ng kaibigan na kaya kang suportahan at tulungan sa mga panahong kailangan mo sila at makisaya sa oras ng iyong tagumpay.

Reminiscing: remember the old songs (boyband fever)

I am a part of the generation who got so caught up with the boybands and that their songs ruled over the radio airwaves since I got in my sophomore year in highschool. Among my batch, who would forget the songs like This I Promise You, My Love, Like A Rose, Shape of my Heart and All or Nothing? My girl classmates all shouted for the names like Ben, Shane, Bryan and Justin with the big posters they bought somewhere not to mention that these posters cost more than the amount they get for their dafily allowance.

Recently, I browsed some of my old stuffs and found a copy of my favorite boybands album but it cannot be played anymore since it has a lot of scratches already in it which makes me a little sad considering that I spent some hundreds to buy it and now, I can't even listen to it. Sad. Makes me believe that at 20, I am so old...haha. But my optimism never failed me, I logged in to YouTube and tried to look for the songs and I found copies of it. Haha. Lucky me!

When I listened to the songs, I can't help but remember the grueling times I had upon graduating elementary and entering a new phase they call "highschool". It makes me reminisce the time when I go to the nearest bookstore or newsstand just to check if a1 (my favorite boyband,THEN!) has released a new album or the song magazines have had a new interview about their private lives or anything like that which may fancy me....hmmm...I wonder how much I spent buying those things... I hope I just saved it so that I could watch their concert here in the Philippines in 2001...

When you were a kid, a young kid with no real responsibility and has little obligation and has all the liberty to do everything you want as long as it does not interfere with your parents' parental power and does not require you to be out of their sight. You can mess with a lot of people and still, they won't mind you because you are young....But reality strikes... just like your favorite boyband which got disbanded because of their own personal reasons.... we also grow old... we need to grow up and we will never be boys forever...never be LITTLE boys forever...

Wanted: Mr. and Ms. Right

Have you found....THE ONE?

Sa pagtingin ko sa sari-saring sites sa internet sa pagbabaka sakali na makakuha ako ng mga trivias, eh tungkol lang sa paghanap ng true love, soul mate, mr or ms right o perfect one lang ang nakikita kong mga posts at paminsan-minsan eh ads ng mga astrologer. I have nothing against waiting for it pero to go crazy about looking for the one...medyo mali na yata iyon. gaya nga ng sinabi ni radley, isa sa mga sumagot sa tanong na ito sa Yahoo Answers which I quote " don't think that there is 'the one' out there, but maybe a few. You should enjoy being with the person you're with and when you stop being happy you move on. I also don't think you should waste time looking for the 'perfect' person, because people aren't perfect and you could bypass someone that could make you really and truly happy. I think it's a case of the grass being greener on the other side most of the time." Pero sabi nga nila, kung minsan-minsan lang, wala namang masama. Go ahead look for that person...he or she may be looking for you as well...who knows?

_______________________________________________________________________

Sabi ng teacher ko dati, hindi raw totoo ang ideal person...parang make believe kasi "ideal" daw, imagination pero in the end ni wala sa kalingkingan ng ideal person natin yung nakakatuluyan natin. I agree. Love after all isn't about finding the right or the perfect person for you, it is about making everything perfect and right with the person you chose to be with.

____________________________________________________________________

At, eto na ang dahilan kung bakit ko ginawa ang taglish na post na ito. Nagsend kasi ang friend ko sa'ken ng message tungkol sa kagustuhan niyang magkaroon ng boyfriend at gusto niyang tulungan ko siya sa pagsasakatuparan ng kanyang nais. Hindi pa siya nagkakaroon ng special someone ever pero hindi naman siya 'yung taong babangungutin ka 'pag nakita mo, in fact, she has her way of presenting herself pleasantly to the people she meets. Ilang beses na rin siyang hinanapan ng date ng mga kaibigan namin pero mukhang hindi niya pa talaga oras na magka-alam mo na. Medyo choosy rin kasi, at ang gusto niya raw eh isang taong intellectually stimulating... as in brainy pero hindi naman weird ang dating...need not to be hot pero presentable. Bihira lang 'yung ganon, sabi ko sa kanya pero mapilit pa rin. Minsan kahit gaano kababa ang isineset nating standards given the circumstances, mahirap pa ring makuha.

I haven't met Ms. Right yet, but I do not rush... I know she'll come. I just hope she won't come at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Some people leaves with a sigh or a tear in the eye. Some just leaves without a trace. Some leaves with a smile and a promise to come back. Some people doesn't leave because of love, I wish I would someday be forced by love to do the things I dare not try... but for now...
