2009-06-21T18:01:00.005+08:00

bakit masarap kang mahalin kahit bawal? dahil mas may challenge ang pagkamit ng isang prohibited good o dahil masokista ako? o dahil ba ito sa katotohanang simula ng makilala kita at amining hindi na ko pwedeng mabuhay ng wala ka - biglang nabuhay ang mundo kong matagal ng naiidlip?

marley and me, 020809

2009-02-09T00:24:00.001+08:00

A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things — a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity.

who would have thought that we have been in each other's life ONLY for 12 years? i think it's longer... we could've been together forever, only however, there is no standard measure for how long eternity is - that's why we don't know. still, i am only too happy you are with me - and that you are in my journey, just as i am in yours. and since you were the one who started the analogy between life

can you remember a time in your life when you took matters into your own hands? i did that the other day. i decided to look for destiny in a speed dating website. do you remember that time in your life when you took a chance and you realized, it basically confirmed your worst fears which initially stopped you from taking risks? well, the site confirmed everything that i was hoping isn't true.

what do you do with a second life? from watching the news about the survivors - of both the m/v princess of the stars' capsizing and typhoon frank's rampage - i cannot help but think of what the survivors will do... it sounds dramatic (my thoughts just always have to be madrama. bugubug!), but after a brush with death, i guess it follows that those who lived will reevaluate their lives and just

your vision is clearest this month, perhaps because the feelings reinforce the memories. i have to say though, your face looks different - even in dreams, the 8 years that had passed showed. hey - you know, and i know that i promised never to write about you again nor snoop, nor consciously make an effort to learn about how you are. please believe me that i tried, tried so hard - but i guess
