Behind this Grafitti
Coming of age in the 21st century is all about apathy to miracles. Not that I'm losing my thoughts to apathy. Or angst - ridden subjects of loss. Failure. Pain. Self reproach. Silly moments. Washed in my signature haze of luminous tenderness. Of my uncanny skill of taking venom out of painful, somewhat emotional experiences...... leaving only the sweet exhaustion of having lived through it, and the compassionate promised of moving on. Far from it. It's just that the miraculous, being so routine, easily fades into the background. In this blog, I'm exposed. My strengths, my ideas, my personal space in life.

have i searched too hard?
through the darkness of misery
that looms over millions of souls

have i screamed loud enough?
for sleeping madness to awaken
is it possible, that within the shattered ghosts of my mind
there is nothing more than my pain?

as the smoke lingers on towards the sky
my body weeps for my soul
as it wanders away in aimless journey towards you.
where is it
that you lay yourself down to slumber?
where does your heart reside?
only you can give me glimpses of your own world...
and yet here i am
still searching......
though...
there is no you...
only i

Memory is a funny thing. It allows you to gaze snippets of your distant past. Every single sight, every feeling, every thought will hit you like a boomerang. They will come with absolute clarity. If I could just erase those negative memories that happened to me, I would but well, we wouldn't learn if we don't experience life's travails of what not.

What I have for I.Q. I lack in E.Q. I'm soooooo damn immature and I hate it. Bigtime. I just can't stay still. I'm sensitive as in super. I'm too hyper. Should I blame that for drinking too much coffee? Gahd. I'm so addicted. I need a caffeine boost everyday or I'll be damned. I'm trying to tone it down though but whew, it's hard. When I get tense, I turn to smoking. Smoking lessens up the tension that i'm feeling. Hell, I try to forget that I'll get cancer when I do that but I can't jog wearing high heeled shoes can I?

Sarcasm personified. I got that term from geek god. And sometimes, I think that it applies to me. I easily get angry. When I feel like I'm about to burst, I bite my tongue. Hard. But a while ago I didn't. I've uttered a statement that left me bewildered. Argggh. I've said "Go to hell!" to a friend who was teasing me. It's nothing actually but my former crush heard that and he thought that I've said that to him directly because I was looking on his side. He stopped and stared at me but I didn't apologize. I just kept on walking. Err. I can't help it. She was teasing me endlessy and I hate being teased. I think I should change my name to "Summer" instead.

Wow. Almost 2 weeks without blogging.  Tintinnabulation!

-----------------

Dear You,

Today, my life has been changed in a way I cannot yet accept. I have so many questions running through my mind. Please consider my delicate heart. I am as a glass child and to lose you would shatter me.


How is it that so much time spentloving and caring for a person can suddenly crumble to the ground? How can words of tender endearments suddenly be turned to comments of blind hatred and revenge? Why is change such a feared presence? Where is it we go when we step outside of the comfort of familiarity? How do we recreate joy when so much is trapped beneath the rubble of failure? Where is the strength to pick up all of the delicate shards that reflect the beauty of true love? Is there a cloth thick enough to wipe away the blood of our bleeding hearts? How can we absorb the surrounding happiness of our friends when our closest friendship has been sapped of any reminder of happiness? Why, if we still breathe, does life end until the rocky moment of acceptance? How does love end?

It takes some getting use to. The transition between love and friendship is a blurry path. Please remember you have been in my shoes once before. And remember that time is of essence for our friendship, and our friendship is of essence for our survival.

Signed,

ME.

At long last, I've met Techie Idiot or Rainne. The fashionista gurl/lifestyle editor/hairdresser/make-up artist/Boracay lover/loving friend/girlfriend after planning for ages. Again, it's better if sometimes, we do things unplanned because if we plan one, chances are, it won't push thru. We did plan before to meet but unfortunately, our sched doesn't match. Good thing that the cafe that I was visiting is only a stone's throw away from her place and that's it. A couple of text away, I was with her already.

Techie is really a certified fashionista. I've imagined this gurl saying these phrases. "Sorta" "Dearie" and the like. True, true, true eventhough she didn't say them. I told her that we miss her entries. She's just soooo busy because she was transferred to another department. Anyway, she's cool. Very warm. No airs at all. When we've met, it seems that I know her for years already.

Thanks for being so nice Techie! You're really a "kikay" one. Love your orange dangling earrings!!! =)

-----------------

I wanted to die when the peepz at our office voted me to date this hunky dude. Err. I'm sorry. I'm not into blind dating. I'm not into guys who play ball especially volleyball. He's a spiker. A good one. Very athletic. Clean cut. So fair. Tall. Great abs. Looks like a model.

Not my type.

I want a rocker looking dude. Piercing eyes. Goatee. Long hair.

It's a joke. A big joke. Embarassing. Why did I won that stupid dating game where in the first place, I don't wanna join it?!!!! It's a popularity contest. Choose this single girl to date this singly guy. We were like 15 gals and there were also 15 guys. If you like this gal or guy to win, place a sticker on her name. When I saw my name there with no sticker, I've wished that someone will at least place a sticker or two and I'll be happy. It's like an ego thing you know. Anyway, I don't want to date somebody, all I wanted to have is a little sticker or two to prove to the world that at least, they know this little old me. But hell, my name was bombarded with stickers! Unbelieveable. What am I going to do? Suddenly, this little old me was being stared at. Yeah gurl, heads up. Miss Congeniality! I had my 15 minutes of fame. I had it before too but that was when I've hit our goals but a date with Mr. Toothpaste Ad Model? Yikes!

"Hey gurl, what dress are you going to wear?”  “What shoes?” “Let's have your hair relaxed again.” “Who's going to do your make-up?” “Don't be too hyper okay?” “Be demure for once.” “Pretend that you're a bit stupid.” “Don't act like a cowboy etc. etc."

Sigh. Good luck to me! =(

Sometimes, you need to understand
Take a step back and look at another
Live a day in their shoes and see how you truly affect them.

Sometimes, you need to feel alive
A pinprick of pain to swallow the ache inside
Realization that nothing is exactly how it was supposed to be.

Sometimes, you need to feel loved
A warm embrace and soothing words
Destroying your carefully constructed desolate atmosphere.

Sometimes you need to see
Nothing actually works out for the better and your left where you started
With every ache and every pain kept masked by a smile.

Sometimes it's just too much to handle
When the cycle relapses on itself and there's nothing you can do
but sit in remorse and watch it go...

------- 

I'm twisted because one side of me is telling me that I need to move on. On the other side I wanna break down and cry .

If pain must come, let it come quickly.....because I have a life to live.... and I have to live it in the best way possible. If she has to make a choice, may she make it now.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
