dahil sa'yo natagpuan
ang kasiyahang inaasam
binigay mo sa akin
ang dati laging pinapangarap
ipinadama ang yakap
na walang kasing-saya

hayaan mo akong umawit
ako lama'y nagpapasalamat

tulay ng Maykapal
inuugnay ang ating pagmamahalan
gawa ng lakas na di guguho
sa minsang pagsubok
na napagdadaanan ng buhay

ikaw ang pag-ibig na aamining
pinangarap at hiniling
panghabang-buhay na ito
dati laging pinapangarap
walang pagdududa sa yakap
na walang kasing-saya

hayaan mo akong umawit
ako lama'y nagpapasalamat

tulay ng Maykapal
inuugnay ang ating pagmamahalan
gawa ng lakas na di guguho
sa minsang pagsubok
na napagdadaanan ng buhay

ikaw lamang ang kailangan ng buhay
sa lungkot at ligaya
tayo'y magkasama
lalalalalala

hayaan mo akong umawit
ako lama'y nagpapasalamat

tulay ng Maykapal
inuugnay ang ating pagmamahalan
gawa ng lakas na di guguho
sa minsang pagsubok
na napagdadaanan ng buhay

I miss my Blogger. Maybe not the blog itself, but of course the memories compacted in this small Internet space I own-- or should I say, I owned before. This, for me, is my favorite blog. My maturity as a person was evident in my writings here. Because of this blog, people loved and hated me. Because of this blog, I became firm with my principles. Because of this blog, writing became my interest. More than a blog, this had served as a mirror of my individuality.

I won't come back to this blog. But maybe, just maybe, after another year and five months, I would again be posting an entry here. I promise, I would not neglect this blog. You don't want to break a mirror, do you?

tinay. (:

YESTERDAY
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it look as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday, hmm
Sitting in front of the computer, I remembered this song which was sung by Leanne during our Class Party in Laguna. With that I remembered myself as well, sitting just beside her, listening to each and every word of the lyrics. God, I loved it. I'm near to crying for no reason except because of the song. You should agree with me, shouldn't you? One way or another, I could relate to the song. And I believe, everyone could relate to it at one point of his/her life. God, it's so good. Emotional. Rich.
Are you now convinced? :)

Hell ang Fourth Quarter. Kasi naman, tambak na sa requirements. At syempre, bilang isang ultimate crammer, wala pa kong nauumpisahan na project. Ayoko na isa-isahin pa. Kawawa ka naman.

Third Quarter Grades. Binigay yung card weeks ago. Ayun, bumaba ang Pinoy, Music at Biology ko.

Ay. Oo nga pala, nagovernight kami nina Maeka, Hera, Joh, Buban at Leanne sa Grand Boulevard Hotel nung 20 ata yun. Ang saya, sobra. Nagbaywalk pa kami courtesy of Joh's parents na pumunta pa dun para ihatid yung mga damit niya. Kasi naman, take note, nung night before ko lang plinano yun at the day itself lang sinabi sa kanila. Nice. Haha! FUN FUN FUN! Sana maulit!

Naganap nga rin pala ang Math and Science Olympiad. Team Punungbayan ako kasama ng dalawang First Year at ni Rona Po. Ang galing namin tsumamba! First Place kami sa Quiz bee at Overall Champion ng Olympiad. Toink!

Nagkaroon nga pala ng malaking kaguluhan sa kada namin. At muntik na ngang mawala ang tinatawag na "Popperz". Pero salamat, naayos din. Iyon ay sa pamamagitan ng isang yakapan sa Yellow Cab. Oo, walang usap-usap.

Palihan kanina. Nagpunta kami sa Rizal. Ang saya, bitin nga lang. Nakipagsalamuha kami sa mga pamilya ng mangingisda. Sayang nga lang hindi pwedeng mamangka. Hmph.

Tapos na ko magpractical sa Speech. Debate. At ang motion namin, "THW rather change the government rather than change the lifestyle". Deputy PM ako. Ang hirap! Pati ang audience nahirapan. Tsk.

Sige na, awat na. Haha! Paalam.

This might be my last post for this blog. New blog, coming soon. Watch out. Ha-ha.
Yesterday evening, I had a very sensible chat with Ikay. You know her? She was my best friend. Well I thought she was, but I realized she is still my best friend. In all honesty, I forgot how everything came to be like this, not until she refreshed my memories. And the next conversations were so funny. We realized how stupid we are for believing in our own "akala" without clearing each other first. We realized how our friendship was ruined by a shallow and another stupid chat. We ended laughing at our own stupidity.
But then there was also the other side of the chat, which was, of course, the "drama" side. I asked her, "Pano mo ba masasabi na best friend mo ang isang tao?". She answered me with a reason or two. Then again, I realized, "Eh di ikaw yun!". So that was it, the other parts of the chat would be kept between the two of us.
"You would only realize the worth of a person when she's gone" - Yes, there would be times you would get to compare your life with that person, and how you are still living (or should I say, dying?) wihout her. More often than not, in her presence, everything would just be "routinary" to you - that she's always there. Nothing more. Sometimes, with all uncontentment, you would try to look for other persons who you think could replace her. But no. Not until she's gone. When the time comes, you would get to realize that it is still different to be with her or to have her. Then, you would blame yourself for letting her go. And would hope that your paths will meet again...someday.
Iba pa rin 'pag orig! Ha-ha!

I have not been upadting this blog anymore since I'm really planning to have a new blog and another thing is that I was sick during the whole vacation and was confined in the hospital for eight days.
It was the 4th day of January when, in the Emergency Room, the doctor uttered, "I-admit na po natin siya." So I was brought to my room (307) after my xray. That xray revealed that I have bronchopneumonia with pneumatocoele. "Pneumatocoele" is really dangerous and two very expensive 7-day antibiotics were needed to stop it from infecting my blood.
Not just that, I got high fever (39-40 degrees) that won't go down even if I'm taking Paracetamol every four hours. I also had a terrible cough, which I already have for three months. The last would be my asthma which was just cured last Monday.
But, with all mercy from above, 11th of January I was able to go home, but still, having my continuous intake of medicines.
Thank God.
A heartfelt gratitude to all those who gave time to visit me in the hospital. Hera, Hedda, Dhanika, Kat, Ashley, Manuel, Tristel and Hazel, Tito Liit and family, Tita Icay and Tito Dennis, Tito Lake, Tita Alma, Ninang Beck, Ate Ligaya and Ate Bebe (also our neighbors), Tita Chang and husband, Tita Lani and husband.
Thank you to those who weren't able to visit but still showed so much concern. Kwik, Andie, Joh, Ikay, Pamie and her mother, Erika, Gemeile, the whole class of ii6, Ilena, Rona, STC Co-parents, Ate Lyn, Ate Princess, Maristians, Ms. Fronteras, Ms. Garcia, Ms. Tilaon.
My most gratitude to Ashley's grandmother, BSD, Tita Mai, Tita Icay, Nanay (Lola), and my parents.
Sorry to those I haven't mentioned. Thank you SO MUCH.
I love you all!
For ii6, I realized our section is still a class to be proud of. NO TO RESHUFFLING!

*This entry should have been posted yesterday. I was not able to finish it since someone who's really in a bad temper told me 'Meron bang hinihikang nag-iinternet?'. So, anger more than obedience rose in my very soul. At once, I turned off the monitor, the CPU, then the AVR. Yes, without shutting the computer down and all the programs still opened.*

...

Thank God I survived that fucking asthma attack.

My sickness started during the exam week. Hell. Wrong timing. Then, the day before yesterday was the biggest shock of all. I had fever, cough, colds, and worst, asthma. I drank and inhaled any means by which I could breathe properly. Finally, a really expensive nebule saved me from hell.

...

By the way, I also watched High School Musical. Before, I was actually an "anti" of that Disney Channel Original. But because of sheer boredom (since I cannot do any activity, even walking for just 10 meters) and the influence of my sister who's addicted to it, I tried to watch it. And I did. It is awesome, I tell you. I adore the director, Kenny- I believe it is not a joke to direct any movie of that kind. The theme of the movie was "starting something new". Music vs Sports, Music vs. Education/Intelligence. Can we not be two persons at a time? Why not?

...

This is a reiteration and addition to a friend's entry.

The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19 #3 provides that:
The exercise of the rights provided for in paragraph 2 of this article carries with it special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are provided by law and are necessary:
(a) For respect of the rights or reputations of others;
(b) For the protection of national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public health or morals.

Blogging is one way through which freedom of speech could be expressed. And it is also one huge space to advertise the abuse of freedom of speech.

Yes, it is your blog- an online journal where you can actually put in everything. But, there's a really big difference between having the freedom to write and having such freedom with the attachment of your responsibilities.

Hammer your heads with the fact that billions of people could read it, and could be influenced by it. Unless you have a private blog, which could be visited by less than 10 persons only, you're forgivable.

I know, in my previous blog, I became very abusive of that freedom, and that was the reason this second blog exists.

A simple advise: If you want to talk about any person you hate in your blog, why not do it diplomatically? Rather than saying bad words about him or destroying his reputation, just write about how you think you could help him change. Or, we have lots of means to have private conversations.

You're not losing anything, anyway. In fact, you're gaining a lot with that.

...

Spirit of Christmas, where are you?

How many times did I hear or read the line "I still can't feel the Christmas coming? (Hindi ko pa nararamdamang malapit na ang Pasko)"?

I've also said that in my entry...until I realize...

Hindi naman lalapit ang Pasko para magparamdam sa'tin. Hindi rin naman yun papasok sa mga utak natin para imulat o gisingin tayo.

Can't we make the move? We're just being preoccupied with our businesses. Why not do something extraordinary?

Let me share this with you. I have a friend whose birth date fell on the day before Christmas. She's now fifteen years old, and for the past years (including this year, I think), she would celebrate her birthday (and Christmas) with the less-prvileged children in their place. How could she do that? She would save her allowance by sacrificing her eating. Indeed, an heroic act!

Yes, it's her birthday today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISTEL! I am so much grateful to God for giving me such a friend (well, a best friend) like you!

...

We would go to Bulacan after three hours. Christmas spent there is always fulfilling. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Pinoy exam was hard. Not as expected. Most of us, including myself, didn't review for it because we really thought it would be easy. But hell no.

Algeb exam. Average. On the other hand, we expected that this would be really really hard.

"People die because of assuming"

Oha!

...
Tomorrow, I'm going to buy gifts for my classmates, friends, teachers, and relatives. Ho-Ho-Ho!
...
For a friend. First of all, we are not being killers of your joy...it's just that we don't want you to be involved again in such cases. Huwag mong sabihin na minsan ka na nga lang magiging masaya sa buhay-HS mo. Okay sige, tama ka. Pero okay lang sana kung walang nangyari these past few weeks sa klase natin - sa karamihan ng mga kaklase natin, at lalung-lalo na sa adviser natin. Tama yung sinabi mong hindi ka namin naiintindihan. Hindi talaga. Hindi na talaga. Hindi ka pa ba nadadala? Hihintayin mo pa bang kuhanin yan at magkaro'n ng NF sa card? Wag na. Tama na. Tama na na involved ka sa dalawang kaso. If you think that's being cool, then we're telling you it's not. Hindi kami nagmamalinis o nagmamarunong, mahal ka lang talaga namin.
Ikaw pa ba yan? Hindi ka na namin kilala.
...
Yesterday, I tried to look back, wanting to refresh my memories of the past. My previous blog gave me what I want- being footprints of the long journey. As I was reading my posts, feelings summoned up- both joys and sorrows. Later on, I realized how funny, foolish and stupid some of my posts were. Or if not, how cruel and wicked am I to my blog to rant in it.
Then i noticed, most of my posts were about Ikay. Either happy experiences or shallow quarrels I had with her. I missed it. I missed her.
By the way, the day before yesterday, I reread all the letters from my friends- those of which I kept in my cabinet and file case. I became teary-eyed. A lot of people I am terribly missing. 6-2 classmates, where the hell are all of you? Kimberly Flores, show up darling. Miss Brocoy, my only teacher who became really close to me. We still had communication in the early part of this year but not until she went to a place so far. Mrs. Opena, with her letter saying "Thank you for being my ever-responsible president..." written in front of an envelope, inside it was a rosary. The letter of my class adviser..."Hawak mo pa rin yan, Tin- you can still recover". Gemeile's reco letter. Ilena's reco letter. Ikay...your letters...the big card...the one with the revelation about him...the letter with the "khristine" given just this July. And lots more.
I will forever treasure those letters- so that someday I would remember that my life would never be that way without all of you. That once or twice, you became part of my being, and hopely, I became part of yours too.
...
Tomorrow's exams would be English and Religion. I would start reviewing after this. So now, good-bye.

tinay. (:

Why can't I hate you? Tell me.

...

Biology and Social Science were the exams a while ago. God, why'd you give me a headache?

Math and Filipino are up for tomorrow...next in line to give me another headche. Thank you very much.

Lyrics of You Got It All - revived by MYMP (for YOU)

I, I was a game he would play
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
Don’t you know, don’t you know

You got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it’s true
There’s just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb
And you’re all that he’s not
Just look what I got
Cause you got it all
Over him

No, don’t let him worry you so
Once I met you I let go
Oh you can surely see
You’re so much more to me
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
You’re better than all the rest
Who do I love the best
Don’t you know, don’t you know

You got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it’s true
There’s just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb
And you’re all that he’s not
Just look what I got
Cause you got it all
All over him
