Good Morning, Sunshine!

Oh hello, Mr. Sun!

It's a brand new day, and I can't wait to make the most of it. Still got a lot of work to do. Tomorrow's a big day for our department since we will have having a Coordination Meeting with our VP, a series of lectures and reporting from different mall branches.

I would not be presenting, though I'm a bit disappointed. But it would be nice NOT to have butterflies in the stomach for once.

I think I'd just doodle away....

The Moon and Money

Took a picture of the receipt while walking
back to our office at noon

When I was a child (maybe 4 or 5 years old,) I remember I was taught by one of my Titas to reach out my hand to the Moon and utter these seemingly magical words especially when I see it is fully round and yellow:

"Moon, give me money, Moon..."

Lo and behold! Those magic words seem to work, fast track 23 years! Thanks to my "Moon," my ate, Lia.

Amidst the chaos around me...
Busy people...
People soaked in their computers...
Not minding each other's business........
The world's in topsy turvy...
Ringing phones... hurried footsteps...
Yet... all I can think about is what I left at home..........
Can't wait to hold you in my hands....
and feel your every curve.
It's too soon, I know.
We've just met last night... yet you're all I ever think about.
Obsessed? I don't reckon so.
I can't wait to travel the world with you...
To see its magnificence through your eyes.
You are one of those dreams that came true.
Tangible albeit surreal.
I never doubted it, yet I am surprised that it's this soon....
Maybe it's just meant to be.

Starting Out

I was in 5th grade when I started to write. Writing has always been a sort of escape for me, an expression of my innermost feelings and desires. Stuff that I dare not tell or share to anyone, I wrote in my journal. It was then that I also learned the "art"of infatuation and crushing on someone (which I think is normal at that age,) so I began to write poetry as well. And as you might have guessed, puppy love and overwhelming feelings of admiration were the common themes.

Ulan at Gabi

Nakita kita kanina sa jeep
nung kami'y pauwi na
Tumibok ang aking puso
May pamilyar na kabog sa dibdib na di mawari
Di ko matanggal ang titig ko sayo
Tila ikaw ay nagbago.
Pilit kong sinilip ang iyong wangis,
dahil braso mo'y nakasabit
Ilang pulgada lang ang layo natin sa isa't isa,
ngunit tilay ako'y taga ibang planeta.
Naalala ko bigla yung una nating pagkikita,
sumakay tayo sa jeep patungong Baywalk,
di ko akalaing tahimik ka,
na tila walang kibo.
Mahirap basahin ang iniisip mo,
takot akong magkamail o may magawang ika'y magalit.
Pareho pa tayong kumakapa sa dilim,
pero lahat ng takot at pagaalinlangan ay nawala
Pag hawak ko na ang malalambot mong mga kamay
Gusto kong tumigil ang oras pag kasama kita
Susungkitin ang buwan at mga tala,
at iaaahin ang mga ito sa iyong mga paa.
Screeeeekkkkkkkkk...................
Biglang prumeno ang  jeep,
sa kalagitnaan ng ulan at trapik.
Pinilit kong itago ang pagtitig ko sayo,
ngunit sa yero nauntog ang aking ulo.
Kamukha mo lang pala yun.
Magkapareho kayo ng mga mata,
yung mga matang minsa'y nagpatunaw ng aking puso.
Naglaho ng parang bula ang mga pangarap,
nung pumara ang jeep sa may kanto.
Bitbit mo sa iyong bag ang aking puso.
Eto lang ang pakiusap ko sayo,
pakisauli na lang
Kung magkita man ulit tayo....

After Three Days...

Finally! After three grueling, brain-wrecking days of thinking of a decent enough title, I was able to come up with this one. Though searching through Google, I've found out that some bloggers have already used it. What the hey, I like it. Plus, it has my initials in it, so I guess I'm gonna stick to it...
