A Year Ender Anime Note From An Anime Fan

Can you still remember the first anime that you watched? How about the first anime character that you really liked or, well, fell in love with?

Anime was quite famous during my time. Well right now, I am 22 years old (even though people have been doubting if I am really 22 because I act like 16 and look like 25 :p). This only means that I am a 90’s kid. Yeah, 90’s. The Golden age of Anime in the Philippines.

During that time, a lot of new anime came. It was the time when children who doesn’t have school will open their television at 9am. A quite shock right? 9am. I know it’s difficult for you to remember if there were animes being shown at that time in the 90’s. Well actually there’s quite a lot. Those were the Classic Animes. I know you’re still confused, now I would like to name some. Can you still remember ‘Daddy Long Legs’? How about ‘Julio at Julia’? I know you can remember ‘Princess Sarah’ and ‘Cedie’. You maybe wondering if these are really animes, well guess what! ~They are. These animations are from Japan, so yes, we can consider these as animes, all though they have been labeled as the classic ones. Actually I was fond (I am fond can also be used because until now, I love them) of these animes. I watched every episode of these titles since I attended the afternoon class when I was in Grade School. I actually learned a lot from these animes like being humble, kind, generous and more. The early types of anime focused more on developing the moral of every child. Every episode has taught me something new.

How about animes being shown in the afternoon during those times? Who can forget the great Voltes V with Steve, Big Bert, Little John and others. Or Daimos? How about BTX, Blue Blink, Magic Knight Rayearth or Zenki? If you’re a 90’s kid like me, I know you were able to memorize the translated version (*tagalized* :p) of those anime’s opening songs. I know right now you are trying to remember the lyrics of those songs. I know too that right now the songs are playing inside your head. “Maglalakbay ako patungo sa kawalan” (for BTX). “Ako si Blink sa bawat oras nariyan, tutulong sa nangangailangan, ako’y maasahan..” (Blue Blink). And of course this one “Kami, narito, asahan nyo, magtatanggol. Makikipaglaban, para sa kapayapaan.”(For Magic Knight Rayearth). These animes certainly completed the afternoon of a child who came back from school.

Now who’s your first anime crush? I know that we sometimes fancy an anime character, up to the point that we wish that they’re real or even to the point that they tend to be the basis of our crushes/ ideal boy or girl. In my case, my first anime crush-> Saber Lime from Saber Marionette <- She’s a caring one, she’s reliable and she’s good looking. I also fancied Jane from Voltes V and for my ninja crushes, she's the very first one. I actually bought their pictures, wall scrolls, dolls and figurienes. Well who can blame me, I was young and really into anime. How about you? Who’s first anime crush?

The early anime shows became the foundation of the, well, adult or young adult otakus/ anime fans, in the Philippines. There may be differences with the past and the current anime that has been and are being shown but these animes will decide what kind of anime fans that will exist in the future.

Some Year Ender Quotes

not everybody leaves. some stay. some are worth the poems and the pain and the love you pour into them. just wait. you'll see

accept something that you cannot change and you will feel better.

no one falls in love by choice, it is a chance. no one stays in love by chance, it is by work. and no one falls out of love by chance, it is by choice

Coffee; Like Love

I hate how coffee turns into addiction
And how it keeps me up all night
How it burns and makes my heart beat fast
Especially how it makes me crave
For its rich and sweet promises
Of grains, milk and sugar
Moments later, it puts me into a melancholic mood of coldness
But before i have realized it
It has consumed me before i should have consumed it

Empty
Hollow
Bitter

But then again
I crave for another cup
Just like love

The Thing That I Have Learned

after a while you learn the subtitle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

and you learn that love doesn't mean learning and company doesn't mean security,

and you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,

and you begin to accept defeats with your head up and your eyes open,

with the grace of an adult, not thee grief of a child,

and you learn to build all your roads on today beacause tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.

After a while you learn taht sunshine burns if you get too much.

so plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,

instead of waiting someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you can really endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.

A Promise From Kulet

a text message from my dearest "KULET", Christine Joy Bernal Matic. i just wanted to show it to all of you guys kasi this one made me smile like this one (o^________________^o).

naisip ko nalang din i-repost to ulit kasi i miss her so much na talaga.

Thoughts

feelings and emotion change

it doesn't mean that if you don't feel something for each other anymore, the love is gone

if love were only feelings, then there is no such thing as lasting

love can sometimes turn numb or even be boring, you just have to be patient

'cause love itself is life, not all the times you were meant for happiness

sometimes you also have to give in for its bitterness,

but no matter what as long as you decided to stay and continue,

it will be more beautiful...

The New Inspiration

Kasama ko lang naman yung isa sa mga inspiration ko ngayon para sa December 2011 NLE at sya ay walang iba kundi si Ms. Raei Faye Q. Mercado.

This photo was taken last November 18, 2011 at Succeed Review Center, Boodle Fight namin nyan and yung night na yun yung isa sa mga best night ng buhay ko. Uhm, i really like her so much and yung mismong day din na yun ako nagtapat ng feelings ko para sa kanya. Alam ko maraming magbabago sa pagtatapat ko sa kanya ng nararamdaman ko pero kahit anong mangyari, di ako magbabago sa kanya at palagi lang akong nasa tabi nya.

F.A.C.E

Eye Of The Storm

The Streets they smile

When traffic light turn green

Counting cars as they pass us by

1,2,3 baby count on me

And i know it's been raining so hard these days

And you've been dying to true love's face

And it's cold, And it's cold

I know, I'll keep you warm tonight

Despite all the storms

I seem to find some refuge in your smile

The glimmer in your eyes, my angel in disguise

My angel is staring at me now

And its cold, and its cold

I know, I'll keep you warm tonight

- a little something after the July 2011 board exam. wala lang, i just wanted to dedicate this one to you, kilala mo naman kung sino ka, i know naman na mapapadaan ka dito at makikita mo 'to. ayun, sana lang nagkasama tayo kanina kaya lang may kasama ka din. ayun, i wish the best for us and i know by tommorow, RN na tayo. thank you for believing in me, sa support at sa prayers.

Panalangin Sa Panahon Ng Bagyo [Prayer In The Time Of Storm]

aming ama sa kalangitan

[our father in heaven]

diyos ng ulap, hangin at ulan

[god of the clouds, wind and rain]

lubos kang makapangyarihan

[you are most powerful]

sa iyo'y nagkukubli

[we seek shelter]

nawa'y pakinggan

[hear our pleas]

ngayong araw ng di katiyakan

[on this day of uncertainty]

hanap nami'y basbas

[we seek your blessing]

pagbuhos mong gabay

[pour forth your guidance unto us]

sa pahamak, ilihis

[lead us away from danger]

iadya sa sakuna

[protect us from disaster]

iligtas sa panganib na bumabadya

[save us from the coming perils]

nang sa agos ng dalamhati'y, di matangay

[that we may not be swept away by the deluge of sorrow]

patawarin kaming may sala

[forgive us sinners]

sa aming kapabayaan

[for our carelessness]

sa aming kakulangan

[for our shortcomings]

marapatin ninyo na sanang

[may you let it come to pass]

kami ay magising

[that we wake up]

sa muling pagsikat ng araw

[as the sun rises anew]

umaapaw sa pananampalatayang

[overflowing with faith]

sa inyong kadakilaan

[that in your greatness]

walang hindi maaari

[nothing is impossible]

amen.

Still Fly 2011

now playing: Friends Forever by Vitamin C

Its been a while since my last one! Well, the past few days and weeks have been busy, man it was so tiring! (i was skateboarding the whole week). But I still have some time for this one anyway. And you care to ask me what’s up? Well, not much. I’m still the same old brand new me... Hahaha. (parang A1 yata yun ah). Heto, I’m still listening to my old records (Kamikazee, Chicosci, Typecast, Hawthorne Heights, Urbandub, Alesana, Killswitch Engaged, Silent Sanctuary, etc.) and it so BORING! (haha, joke lang). I was wondering when will I get a new one kaya? Ay, hindi pala, pera nga pala ang kailangan ko. Haha. I demand a re-fund! kahit 1k lang. Haha. (if you know what I mean). Well, I just finished cleaning my white shoes and preparing the clothes that i will wear tomorrow and I’m so happy to say, and I’ve come to realize it just lately, that "I JUST GOT PASSED COLLEGE!" It’s almost over. I deserve a pat on the back. Wuhoooooo! Now I can say that the Nursing Course is "EASY". Haha. Well… actually "IT’S NOT". I’ve suffered a lot together with my other batchmates (if you also know what i mean). So for those thinking to take-up BSN, 2 words: "BE PREPARED". Be very prepared ‘cause you’ll experience a lot of epistaxis, syncope, vertigo and a lot of f****ng variety of mood disorders. Kung mal-adaptive ka pa eh baka mauwi pa sa suicidal attempt and substance induce psychiatric disorder. Buti nalang I live by the principle “It’s better to cheat than to repeat”. Haha. Ayun, nakaraos kahit papano. Joke. Anyway, it’s been one hell of a journey. As I always say to myself, it’s the trip, not the destination and "experience is not what happens to a man, it's what a man does with himself." Yan ata mga motto ko sa yearbook. Hehe. Hay... namiss ko tuloy bigla yung hospital duty, lalu na graveyard shift. Sarap matulog eh. Pati narin yung naging make-up duty ko, namiss ko din bigla. Haha.. wala lang... nagrereminisce lang. Well... watch out on April 9,2011, tomorrow, because... it’s our Graduation Day. Yeah! you've read it right, graduation na talaga namin bukas. And after five years, nakagraduate din. If it so happened that you guys and gals read this blog accidentally, whoever you are, whether you are a friend or foe, relatives or not, gays or lesbians, saints or demons, virgins or sluts, rockers or hip hoppers, super heroes or villains, don’t hesitate to congratulate me, ‘cause it means a lot to me.

bang! bang! bang!

Every once in a while people step up, they rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you, and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes, it can push pretty hard, but if you look close enough you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, and if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.

Perfect Tears

EVERY ONE WANTS TO LOVE AND BE LOVED. LOVE COMES IN MANY FORMS AND IN DIFFERENT INTENSITIES; BUT WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF LOVE THEY THINK OF THAT BETWEEN A COUPLE AND A LOVER. BUT DOES LOVE REALLY THE ANSWER TO AN EMPTY SPACE IN OUR HEART?

Russell IS TOTALLY COOL, ROMANTIC, NICE PERSON, A WISE MAN AND MOST OF ALL HE IS GOOD LOOKING. MANY GIRLS ADMIRE HIM BECAUSE OF HIS WELL-BUILD POSTURE AND FOR BEING ATHLETIC and for being good in playing instruments. HE IS A skateboarder, A Power forward in the school basketball team, an excellent vocalist/guitarist AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF HIS SCHOOL. A PERFECT GUY WE CAN SAY. BUT ONE THING IS STILL IMPERFECT WITH HIM. HE CAN’T LOVE PERFECTLY. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL MORNING; THE SUN SET-UP HIGH; SMILING TO THE FLOWER AND LOOKING TO THE CHATTERING BIRDS. IT IS A GOOD DAY FOR skateboarding or playing basketball in the PARK. he CAN HEAR THE BALL TOUCHING THE RING HEAR ITS GOOD HARMONY. he IS TRYING TO ENJOY THE DAY BY PLAYING BASKETBALL or skateboarding AND FEELING THE BLAZE OF THE SUN AND THE MILDNESS OF THE WIND. HE IS PLAYING ALONE. NO ONE IS DISTURBING HIM. MEANWHILE, A GIRL IS WATCHING HIM FROM BEHIND. LOOKING AT HIM; ADMIRING ALL HIS MOVES. SHE REALLY ADMIRES Russell FROM THE FIRST TIME SHE HAD SAW HIM IN THE PARK. ONE NIGHT; IT WAS RAINING HARD; AND THE FLOWERS ARE CRYING WITH TEARS. A GIRL SAW A BOY, PLAYING UNDER THE TEARING CLOUDS. HE WAS TOTALLY WET, BUT STILL CONTINUING PLAYING. BUT BEHIND THOSE RAINDROPS AND BEHIND THOSE DRIBBLING BALL. A CRYING HEART CAN BE HEARD. THE GIRL SAW THE BOY CRYING WITHOUT TEARS. SHE FELT WEIRD. WEIRD BECAUSE SHE BECAME SAD. SAD BECAUSE OF THAT GUY? BUT WHY? SHE CAN’T EXPLAIN. BUT FROM THAT DAY; SHE SAW HER SELF ADMIRING THAT GUY. THAT GUY WHO CRIES WITHOUT TEARS. BACK TO THE PRESENT TIME. Russell STOP DRIBBLING. HE LOOKS AT THE SKY. CLOSE HIS EYES AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH. FEELING THE CALMNESS OF THE WIND AND THE HEAT OF THE SUN TOUCHING HIS SKIN. HE RETURNS HIS SIGHT AHEAD; LOOKING AT THE GIRL BEHIND HIM. HE LOOKS AT HER CURIOUSLY. THE GIRLS FACE WAS FAMILIAR TO HIM; BUT; HE CAN’T REMEMBER WHERE AND WHEN DOES HE SAW THAT GIRL. HE TOOK THE BALL AND SIT BESIDE THE GIRL. A QUIET CONVERSATION TAKES PLACE. A COLD WIND IS PASSING THROUGH THEIR VEINS. THEY WANT TO TALK EACH OTHER, BUT THERE HAS A BIG WALL TRYING TO FORCE THEM APART. Russell BRAVELY LOOK AT THE GIRL. BUT HE IS SURPRISED WHEN HE SAW THE GIRL LOOKING AT HIM. HE SAW THE GIRL’S EYES, CALM AND PURE. HE CAN SAW THE DEEPEST OF THE GIRL’S HEART WITHIN THOSE EYES; PEACEFUL BUT SAD. HE CAN’T UNDERSTAND HIS SELF. HIS HEART BEATS FASTER; LIKE A RUNNING CHEETAH ON A FOREST. THE GIRL SMILED AT HIM. A MAGICAL SMILE THAT MAKES HIS SELF FELT SO WEIRD THING. THE GIRL WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE CONVERSATION BY THOSE SMILE. A SMILE THAT GIVES WAY FOR BOTH OF THEM TO KNOW EACH OTHER WELL AND TO START THEIR ROMANTIC INTERLUDE. DAYS PASS; WEEKS AND THEN MONTHS. AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP BLOOMS. THEY are MADLY IN LOVE AND THEY DON’T WANT TO LOSE EACH OTHER. Russell; A GUY WHO CAN’T LOVE PERFECTLY. IS NOW BADLY IN LOVE WITH THAT GIRL? A GIRL WHO TOUCH HIS HEART BY THOSE SIMPLE SMILE. HE KNEW WITHIN HIS HEART THAT HE REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT GIRL. AND THE GIRL REALLY LOVES HIM, TOO. THEY NEVER FIGHT. THEY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER LIKE A FREEZING WIND TOUCHING A MAIDEN HAIR. THE FLOW OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP STARTS TO GROW. THEY FELT THE SAME WEIRD FEELING WHEN THEY FIRST MET EACH OTHER. THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY KNEW EACH OTHER FROM THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD MET. BUT; THEY DON’T KNOW WHEN AND HOW. THEY JUST LEAVE THAT QUESTION IN A CORNER. JUST LEFT IT WITHOUT AN ANSWER. BECAUSE FOR THEM… NOW IS NOW AND LEAVE THE DOUBTFULNESS BEHIND.

AS DAYS GOES BY THEY KNEW THAT TIME NEVER STOPS AND THEIR LOVE WILL LAST LONG AND NO ONE CAN BLOCK IT. NO ONE. BUT ON THEIR FIRST ANNIVERSARY, WHERE THE RAIN IS DROPPING SO HARD; AND THE WIND IS CARRYING A LONELY SOUND. AN INCIDENT CAME AND MAKES THE WHOLE TIME. STOP. IT IS the 22nd day of October; a very QUIET AND PEACEFUL day. YOU CAN ONLY HEAR THE SOUND OF THE RAIN. DROPPING SOFTLY; FULL OF MEANING. Russell IS SITTING ALONE IN A RESTAURANT; LOOKING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND WATCHING THE UNLIGHTED PILLAR THAT MAKES THE WHOLE PART DARK. IT IS PASSED 7PM ALREADY. BUT NO SIGN OF THE GIRL. he RETURNS HIS SIGHT TO THE OUTSIDE; AND SAW HIS GIRL AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE IS HOLDING AN UMBRELLA AND WEARING A BEAUTIFUL DRESS. SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. THE GIRL SMILES AT HIM MAGICALLY. HE RETURNED A SMILE ALSO. BUT SUDDENLY; WHEN THE GIRL IS CROSSING THE STREET. A RUNNING CAR PASSED THROUGH AND HIT THE GIRL WITH A BIG FORCE. he SAW THE WHOLE INCIDENT. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE TIME STOP. HE MADLY STANDS FROM HIS SIT AND FINDS HIS SELF RUNNING TOWARDS THE GIRL’S PLACE. HE HOLDS THE GIRL VERY TIGHT. THE GIRL WAS EYE-OPENED. LOOKING AT HIM. Russell LOOKED AT HER. HIS EYES ARE STARTING TO FILLED WITH MOIST. A WATER. A TEAR. THE GIRL SMILED AT HIM. SHE WIPES Russell EYES AND TOLD HIM. “AT LAST; I SEE YOU AGAIN CRYING, CRYING WITH TEARS.” AND THEN HER HANDS FALL DOWN. HER EYES CLOSED SLOWLY; HER BREATH GONE; AND HER HEART STOPS BEATING. NO SOUNDS. NO BEAT. russell IS UNCONSCIOUS BY THAT TIME. HE CAN’T TALK. HE CAN’T MOVE HIS BODY AS WELL. UNTIL. HE SAW HIS SELF. SHOUTING VERY LOUD. CRYING AND HOLDING THE DEAD BODY OF THE GIRL. THE GIRL THAT SHE LOVED. THE GIRL THAT GAVE HER A WEIRD FEELINGS. A FEELING OF LOVE. A PERFECT LOVE. DAYS HAD PASSED AND WEEKS STEP AHEAD AND he IS TRYING TO MOVE-ON. HE CANNOT FORGET THE GIRL THAT SHE LOVED. UNTIL ONE DAY. SOMEONE CAME TO HIS HOUSE. THE GUY IS HOLDING AN ENVELOP AND GAVE IT TO HIM. HE OPENED THE ENVELOP AND SAW A PICTURE. A PICTURE OF A TWO CHILDREN. A BOY AND A GIRL. HE IS SURPRISE ON WHAT HE HAD SAW. THE BOY. THE LITTLE BOY IN THE PICTURE, IT WAS HIM. HE CRIEd. HE REMEMBER AN INCIDENT FROM HIS PAST. IT WAS RAINING. A LITTLE BOY AND HIS FAMILY WENT TO A VACATION. BY THAT DAY; HE LEFT THE REST HOUSE WHERE THEY ARE STAYING. HE GOES TO THE NEAREST RIVER AND SAW A BEAUTIFUL RABBIT. HE FOLLOWED THAT RABBIT WITHOUT NOTICING THAT HE GOT LOST. LOST IN THAT TOWN. HE STARTS CRYING. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. UNTIL A YOUNG GIRL CAME. SHE ASKS HIM WHY HE WAS CRYING. THE GIRL LENDS HIM A LOLLIPOP. AND THEN HE STOPS CRYING. THEY BECAME FRIENDS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THEIR FIRST MET. THEY RUN UNDER THE RAIN AND THEY GOT WET. THEY BOTH LAUGH. AND THEN THE GIRL BRINGS THE BOY BACK TO HIS HOUSE. BUT BEFORE THEY SEPARATE APART. THEY TAKE A PICTURE; AS A SIGN OF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. AND THEN THE NEXT DAY. THE BOY LEFT THE TOWN. BUT HE PROMISED TO THE GIRL, THAT HE WILL NEVER FORGET HER. AND HE GAVE THE PICTURE TO THE LITTLE GIRL. AS A REMEMBRANCE. THE GIRL IS HIS FIRST FRIEND AND HIS FIRST LOVE. he CAN’T BELIEVE THAT HE FORGOT HIS FRIEND. HE FAILED HIS PROMISE. AND NOW HE REALIZE. THAT THE LITTLE GIRL IN THE PICTURE AND THE GIRL THAT SHE LOVED AT THE PRESENt IS THE SAME. HE CRIED AGAIN. TEARS FELL DOWN FROM HIS EYES. HE HOLDS THE PICTURE VERY ON HIS CHEST, VERY TIGHT AND A COLD WIND TOUCHES HIS FACE. HE CAN FEEL THE GIRL’S HAND WIPING HIS TEARS. HE KNEW IT WAS THE GIRL. HE CLOSES HIS EYES AND SMILES. HE NOW REALIZED THAT IN EVERY TEARS THAT FELL FROM HIS EYES THE GIRL WILL WIPE IT. HE WILL NEVER FORGET THAT GIRL. THE GIRL WHO IS ALWAYS THERE IF HE WAS CRYING, THE GIRL THAT MAKES HIS WHOLE WORLD UPSIDE-DOWN.

THE GIRL THAT GAVE HIM A PERFECT LOVe AND A PERFECT HURT…

The Single Ones

Tinanggap ko na sa sarili ko na kapag sinulat ko to, eh siguradong tatamaan ako sa isa sa mga criteria na gagawin ko kung single parin ako. Haha. Pero syempre kung single man ako ay hindi naman ako aamin kung saang part ako tinamaan ng todo. Yung tipong saksak puso, tulo ang dugo. :D

Bakit nga ba merong mga single na tao na palakad-lakad sa school, sa labas ng bahay, sa mall, sa simbahan, sa kubeta, sa balon, sa kweba, sa taas ng puno ng niyog, sa bus, sa tren, sa Afghanistan at kung saan-saan pa? Siguro kase isa sila sa mga ito.

( O baka isa ka din sa kanila.haha.) :P

1. Inugat ng Tadhana

Meron kaseng solid fans ng destiny. Yung tipong hindi talaga sila gagawa o aaksyon para magkaroon sila ng special someone. Maghihintay lang talaga sila ng ibibigay ng tadhana, kumbaga hinihintay lang nila ung pagkakataon na may makakabunggo ng gamit nila sa school, babagsak sa flooring, tutulungan, mag ha-hi and then boom! they became coco crunch! :)

2. Wala akong Panahon sa Love!

Ito naman yung mga palaging busy sa ginagawa nila at wala na silang panahon sa pag-ibig. Kung engineering student, burado na yung keypad ng calculator at ultimo problema mo hihingin nya may maisolve lang. Masaya ang mga tao na ito na pumapasok sa school at kontentong gumagawa ng samu’t saring requirements kahit na sa susunod na taon pa ito ipapasa. Lahat ng gagawin nila ay may nakalaang time, sa isang aspeto lang wala, at tama ka sa iniisip mo.

3. Like a G6

Ang mga single na ito ang may pinakamasayang lifestyle. Basta masaya lang, kung pwedeng araw-araw eh party, sige lang. Pwedeng kiligin, magpakilig, magpapaasa at kung ano-ano pa isa lang ang hindi pwede, ang makipagrelasyon. Hindi ka na pwede sa kanila kapag sumeryoso ka dahil ang feelings nila ay mas mabilis pang magbago kaysa sa pagpapalit mo ng underwear. Aamin silang gusto ka nila pero susundan nila ito ng isang malupit na dahilan kung bakit hindi kayo pwedeng magkarelasyon.

4. The Idealist

Mga taong hindi nabubuhay sa reality at may napakagagandang idea sa pakikipagrelasyon at sa paghahanap nito. Meron silang kongkretong basehan ng tamang taong mamahalin nila na kahit korte suprema ay hindi kayang mabago ito. Kung kaya naman kapag nalisya ka ng kaunti sa kanilang criteria, pipituhan ka nila na para kang may violation sa kalsada.

5. Ooops, Wrong Timing!

Ito yung mga taong palaging sinasabing may tamang panahon at pagkakataon sa love. Ito ay dahil masyado pa silang bata o kaya naman ay masyado ng matanda para sa pag-ibig. Madalas hindi lang talaga tama ang pagdating ng pag-ibig sa kanila o minsan sadyang wala lang talagang tamang panahon para sa kanila.

6. Rated PG

Hindi pa pwedeng makipag relasyon dahil ayaw pa nila papa at mama. Kahit sabog na sabog na ang hormones mo sa katawan dahil inlove na inlove ka na, nananatili kang single dahil mahal mo ang iyong mga magulang. Maganda lang ang ganitong tipo ng single kung ikaw ay edad 20 anyos pababa. Karaniwang highschool-college freshmen lang kasi ang binabagayan nito.

7. Dahil may check pa si ex

Ang pagiging ex ay hindi lang yung naging bf/gf mo dati, kasama din dito yung nakarelasyon mo ng higit sa kaibgan kahit hindi naging formal na kayo. Ito yung tipo ng single na ipamamalita sa buong sambayanan na siya ay maligaya bilang isang single, nakita lahat ng advantage ng isang pagiging single, nakamove on na pero kapag mag-isa ay umiiyak naman at walang sawa sa pagrereminisce ng harutan nila noong araw ng kanyang labidabs kahit pa currently ay (use desired word here) na siya sa iba.

8. Single yet in love

Mga taong alam na hindi lahat ng love ay nakukuha sa pakikipagrelasyon, naniniwala sila na pwede namang maramdaman ang pagmamahal sa isang tao kahit sila ay single. Karaniwang martir ang mga ito pero may iba naman na sadyang naghihintayan lang sila ng kanyang minamahal pero for the mean time, single muna pareho.

9. Tinamaan ng Trauma

Dahil sa narealized mo na ang mga love songs, tele novela, soap opera, chick flicks at mga nakaraang relasyon mo ay hindi naman totoo lahat, itinatak mo na sa isip mo na hindi ka na talaga magmamahal at nagpatatoo ka na sa braso ng “Never Again.” Sawa ka na din sa mga luha mong kayang higitan ang tsunami sa Japan at ang paglalagay mo ng makapagbagdamdaming post sa facebook at twitter.

10. Kaibigan ko kase eh..

Mga tipo ng unrequited love, single ka kase mahal mo yung kaibigan o best friend mo pero talagang naturukan lang siya ng dalawang litro ng pampamanhid kaya wala talaga siyang kamalay-malay na siya ang buhay mo. O di naman kaya ay nanghihinayang ka sa inyong pagkakaibigan kung kaya mas pinili mo nalang na mahalin siya na para kang secret agent. Ikaw din yung palaging gumagamit ng “I’m really happy for the both of you” at “Malay mo meant to be nga kayong dalawa (sabay bulong ng p*ny*ta!)”

11. Capital A-Y-A-W

Mayroon lang talagang taong ayaw ng special someone, hindi naman dahil ayaw nilang magkaroon ng partner o dahil wala sa tamang panahon, meron lang talaga silang nakakalunod na dahilan kung bakit ayaw nila at wag na nating paki-alaman yun. Medyo weird pero may mga nageexist na ganyan.

12. Pinanganak Akong Single!

Sino nga naman bang pinanganak na meron nang kasamang special someone? Wala diba? Yan ang prinsipyo nila, pinanganak na single, mabubuhay at mamatay na single. Tanggap nila na ang buhay nila ay nakalaan para sa ibang bagay at hindi pwdeng makihati dito ang sinuman. Sila ang karibal ng mga pari at madre sa gift ng celibacy.

13. Kunwari Ayaw

Ang panghuli sa listahan at naniniwala akong madaming ganito, mga single na nagkukunwari ng ayaw sa relasyon pero ang totoo ay wala palang talagang may gusto sa kanila o kaya naman ay may gusto sila pero ayaw naman sa kanila. Ginagawa nila lahat ng paraan para magkaroon ng bf/gf pero wala talaga. Kaya for the mean time, kunwari na ayaw pa muna nila ng relasyon. Sana lang ay wag silang habang buhay magkunwari.hehe

So ngayon, alam mo na siguro kung anong lahi ka ng pagiging single Pure breed ka ba? Half o Mixed? :)

Cheers!.. :D

Diwata

G - Bm - C9 - D

Ilang oras pa lamang ng tayo'y nagkita, sa'yong mga yakap agad nangulila, ikaw ang sigla nahumahaplos sa aking buhay pagnalulumbay

Ang iyong mga labi humahalimuyak, pagnasisilayan parang ginto at pilak, ikaw ang diwatang tumapak sa lupa na wala ng papantay

Bm - C9 - Em - D - C9 - D
Tumatanaw sa'yo ang langit, ang iyong ganda'y kaakit akit, pangarap ko'y ikaw

G - F#/D - Em - C9 - D - Cm
Dalangin ko ay mahagkan ka, sa paglipas ng panahon, ang tinig mo'y parang agos ng sapa, hinding hindi magwawagas ang pag-ibig...... mahal kita

G - Bm - C9 - D
Ang iyong mga mata'y kasing kulay ng punong mahinhin, sumasabay sa agos ng hangin

Bm - C9 - Em - D - C9 - D
Tumatanaw sa'yo ang langit, ang iyong ganda'y kaakit akit, pangarap ko'y ikaw

G - F#/D - Em - C9 - D - Cm
Dalangin ko ay mahagkan ka, sa paglipas ng panahon, ang tinig mo'y parang agos ng sapa, hinding hindi magwawagas ang pag-ibig...... mahal kita

as usual, i dedicate this one to her. to the one who will always be my inspiration in doing things like this. to Ms. Christine Joy Bernal Matic. i hope you'll read this soon and i hope that you will gonna hear this one soon. bakit "Diwata" ang title? its because i've seen a fairy in you from the very start, from that day na nag Mcdo tayong dalawa. ayun, i just wanted to say that i already miss you so much. hindi ko padin alam kung ano yung ibibigay ng time at fate sa atin, basta all i know is that my feelings for you are true and that will be forever. i also really wanted to see you and spend some time with you again. ang dami ko ng utang sa'yo ah. basta, i'll make it up to you kapag magkasama na tayo, ok? i'll spoil you again like i always use to do. i miss you my dearest

"KULET" and "SOULMATE"...

Moon On The Water

Moon On The Water

Full moon sways

Gently in the night of one fine day

On my way
Looking for a moment with my dear

Full moon waves
Slowly on the surface of the lake

You were there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

What a fool
I don't know 'bout tomorrow
What it's like to be
Ah...

I was fool
Couldn't let myself to go
Even though I feel
The end

Old love affair
Floating like a bird resting her wings

You were there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

(I realize, I need you, I realize)

Sotto me wo samaseba anata ga yonderu
Hoshi ga kirei da to massugu na egao de

Doushite (Why wouldn’t I see?)
Ima made (long time)
Kizukenakatta no kono yozora ni (I won’t never let you go)

Anata ni deaete wakatta no
Sugu soba ni aru kagayaki sae mo miushinatte ita koto

Tozashiteta mune wo yasashiku nadete kureru

(Kono omoi ga kieru sono mae ni nagareochita nagareboshi ni negatteta
Itsumademo zutto tomo ni aru to yozora ni hoshi ga aru kagiri kitto kitto)

Zutto mitsumete hoshii watashi wo terashite

Kono natsu ga sugitemo anata wo motto shiritai
(Ikue no kabe ga saegitte itemo norikoe)

Mukiatta (I could realize)

Katagoshi ni mita ano yuuhi…(I won’t never let you go)

Tsutaetai koto ga wakatta no
Soredemo mada fuan ni naru keredo

Anata ni deate nakereba watashi wa watashi ni narenakattan da
Sou omoeteru (I found kimi ga boku ni kizukaseta it’s my true heart)

…everlasting love

Yousha naku
(That's the endless pain)
Toki wa nagarete

Watashi no naka de wasurete ita

Kimochi wo yatto ima mukae ni iku kara…
(I could realize I won't never let you go)

Tsutaetai koto ga wakatta no anata to futari
Kono saki mo tsuzuku michi wo zutto
(I wanna be with you)
Aruite ikitai kore ijou no negai wa mou hoka ni iranai yo shinjite iru…
(I don't need anything else with out you)

Anata ni deaete wakatta yo
Anata ga ireba nanimo kowakunai sou omoete kuru
(Ugokidasu our story)
Anata ga iru nara tsuyogaru watashi no kimochi mo
Subete sunao ni nareru no kitto…

(Kono omoi ga kieru sono mae ni kokoro no itami iyasu hikari
Ataete kureru sasaete kureru hibi soko ni kizuketa masa ni ima
Kono omoi wo todokeyou kimi ni nagareochita nagareboshi ni negatteta
Itsumademo zutto tomo ni aru to yozora ni hoshi ga aru kagiri kitto kitto)
