Ilang araw ng mulat ang aking mata kahit mag-uumaga na...
samo't saring dahilan...

nariyan ang paglisan ng kaibigan tungo sa pula't puting watawat...
nariyan ang pagsagot sa sudoku...
nariyan ang pagtapos sa mga reports at kung anu-anong gawain sa eskwela...
nariyan ang pag-edit at pag-aayos ng mga larawan...
nariyan ang kape at usapan kasama ang mga kaibigan...
nariyan ang panonood ng mga series na lubhang nakakaadik...
nariyan ang walang sawang kakapindot sa celfone...
nariyan ang paggawa ng diary na dapat noon pa...
nariyan ang pag-iinternet...
gaya ngayon andito ulit sa IYA hall, nakikigamit sa pasilidad ng mga inhinyero...
(salamat nga pala chuck sa pag-imbita at pag-aayos ng aking laptop)...
bukas mulat muli ang aking mata para sa thesis...

mahirap labanan ang pagnanais na huwag magpuyat dahil minsan pakiramdam ko kulang na kulang ang isang araw sa buhay ko...
kaya ginagawa ko ang lahat para maisabuhay ang mga gawaing gusto ko...

kaya huwag ng magtaka sa namumuntog na laman sa ilalim ng mata...

Going Home

8:05 PM | Posted by cha_jedidiah

After almost a year, I had the chance to go back home for my nephew's 1st birthday. I had apprehensions because of unsettled family issues. but I can not delay my coming home so the only thing I can do was pray and hope that everything will turn out right... and it did...

I super duper miss solano and so much has changed since the last time I went home. New buildings, New faces but still the same old happy and sometimes sad memories. The two days I stayed there was worth it! I had received timeless gifts like the hugs and kisses from my nephews and nieces, chatting with with my friends, cousins, brothers etc and the care I received like having a delisyoso home-cooked meal c/o my kuya... YUM!!!

The highlight of it all was that Sunday noon as we were having lunch at the family table. My dad and I had a spontaneous talk and ended up talking and crying... When I was still in Manila, I realized that my dad is the only man that hurt me the most... BUT I also realized that my dad is the one man that I will never ever give up because despite his mistakes and shortcomings, I still love him for who he is... and will continue on loving him... and I was right on not giving him up. I heard his side of the story and respected his decisions... I also told my views, what I want to happen in my life. what I want to happen in our family... I am glad that he respected what I said and that he agreed to my wishes.

My dad can be really scary and hard to talk, too. But I guess if your intentions are pure, clear and that you really live up to it, he senses that and have the time to really listen. I do hope my Mom, Kuyas and Ate will have the courage to say how they feel and renew their relationship with him.

Now, I am looking forward to my "next going home days".

Are you who you want to be?

THIS IS YOUR LIFE
by Switchfoot

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose


* Yes, this is my life and i am who i want to be. Today may be the day i have got left and that's fine because I had fixed my eyes on Him who is eternal. =(n_n)=

Snowflakes

Like snowflakes, no two person are alike.
Celebrate your individuality.
Embrace the unique creation that you have become.

And learn to respect other's sense of individuality, too..

Katotohanan

10:59 PM | Posted by cha_jedidiah

After a long time, I saw Garner again... I had this feeling of wanting to hug him so tight but then the time and place was not right. We were in Jollibee Philcoa (hope you can see the picture) and he was engrossed in writing in our Navs' logbook. So i just said my usual bubbly hello to Seylo and Garner. I can't wait to read his entry as i see him scribbling intently. Our logbook was now dubbed as "the traveling logbook" (taken from the sisterhood of the traveling pants) and now it's with me. I was teary eyed when I finally read Garner's entry.
His story is for him to tell but my reaction to his entry is for me to write about. Garner is one of my closest friends ever! We have seen each other's struggles and triumphs in life. We even made this "world domination" theme and traveled to different places. I greatly appreciate Garn's honesty no matter how blatant or scary it might be. And it's one of the things I value, honesty - truthfulness.
I deeply appreciate Garner! What he is going through a tough time and admitting that he has those issues is even tougher. I do hope that during those "hibernation period" of his, he will be enlightened and may he always remember the great friendships he has! Iloveyou Garn from the bottom of my bottomless heart! :P

"Isang hubad na kariktan ang katotohanan, tulad ng iniidolo na lantay na kahubdan. Dinadamitan ito ng iba't ibang kulay upang pagtakpan ang totoo at di totoo"
---Teo T. Antonio

There's beauty in truth... and i do hope we have the courage to tell it. and that we may have the courage to be honest about the truth we are telling.
