a love story

nakuha ko to sa blog ni nakanampucha: steeg!

We’ ve been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother. Actually, our paths crossed one time on another. But it’s only now that I gave him a second look. I realized that beauty is in the eyes. The pulpbits of my heart went fast, really fast. Cute pala siya. And then, he came over with me. He said, “I hope you don’t mine. Can I get your number?” Nag-worry ako. What if he doesn’t give it back? He explained naman na it’s so we could keep intact daw. Sabi ko, connect me if i’m wrong but are you asking me ouch? Nabigla siya. Sagot niya, The! Aba! Parang siya pa ang galit! Persona ingrata!!! Ang kapal niya! I cried buckles of tears.
Na-guilty yata siya. Sabi niya, isipin mo na lang na this is a blessing in the sky. Irregardless daw of his feelings, we’ll go ouch na rin. Now, we’re so in love. Mute and epidemic na ang past. Thanks God we swallowed our fried. Kasi, I’m 33 na and I’m running our time. After 2 weeks, he plopped the question. “Will you marriage me?” I’m in a state of shocked. Kasi mantakin mo, when it rains, it’s four! This is true good to be true. So siyempre, I said yes. Love is a many splendor.
Pero nung inaayos ko na ang aming kasal, everything swell to pieces. Nag-di-dinner kami noon nang biglang sa harap ng aming table, may babaeng humirit ng, “Well, well, well. Look do we have here.” What the fuss! The nerd ng babaeng yon! She said they were still on. So I told her, whatever is that, cut me some slacks! I didn’t want this to get our hand kaya I had to sip it in the bud. She accused me of steeling her boyfriend. Ats if! I don’t want to portrait the role of the other woman. Gosh, tell me to the marines! I told her, “please, mine you own business!” Who would believe her anyway?
Dahil it’s not my problem anymore but her problem anymore, tumigil na rin siya ng panggugulo. Everything is coming up daisies. I’m so happy. Even my boyfriend said liketwice. He’s so supportive. Sabi niya, “Look at is this way. She’s our of our lives.” Kaya advise ko sa inyo – take the risk. You can never can tell. Just burn the bridge when you get there. Life is shorts. If you make a mistake, we’ll just pray for the internal and external repose of your soul. I second emotion.
I thought Jay’s ex-girlfriend was really out of our lives. But heaven only goes that I was wrong. Kakakasal pa lang namin nun when Jay received a uninamous text. “Meet me at the clinic.” I had a stinking feeling in my butt. I told him not to go. It might in danger him. Pero sabi niya, ok lang daw because life is what we make. Tumahimik lang ako. Sabi niya, “Penny for you talks.” But I didn’t know what to say. Beggars can’t be losers. Isa pa, worried talaga ako na baka yung girl yun. Jay said, “Can’t got your tongue?” I tried to smile at him. Kahit di ako nagsalita, actions speak louder than works, di ba?
Be that as is may, umalis pa rin siya. I was out of the loophole. After a few hours, I called him on his cellphone. But my calls fell on Jeff’s ears. Lalo akong nag-worry kasi I didn’t even know Jeff. Sabi na nga ba di na dapat umalis si Jay. That’s what I’m talking about it.
So I tried calling some friends who will help me find Jay. That’s what friends are for naman di ba? But I just faced a blank mall. I had to do this alone. Nag-taxi na lang ako. Pero ang mahal na pala ng plug down rate.
When I got to the clinic, the security was really buffed up. Di basta-basta makakapasok. So I said, “I beg your cordon. I’m patient. It’s my favorite virtue nga e.” Nagduda yata yung isang guard. Hinawakan ako sa arm. The nerd! I shouted, “Don’t touch me not!” Buti na lang the other guards were nice and said, “Come on, let’s join us.”
When I went inside, parang I’ve been there, done there. Nung walang nakatingin, nag-explore ako. Nakarating ako sa top floor and I had a bird’s IQ of the clinic. I could not explain it but I was drawn to a room on the floor. Siguro Divine Intermission na yun.
Parang may narinig akong umuungol. I was thorn. Di ko alam kung aalis ba ako o papasukin ko. It made me stick in the stomach to think that Jay and his ex-girlfriend were there. I tried to tell myself to slower my expectations. But to tell with it! I had to strike while the iron is not. I had to hear the truth from the corpse’s mouth. I barraged in. O my gas! Si Jay, naka-strap sa operating table, parang genie pig sa isang nakakatakot na experiment. He was on the cutting edge. He was bleeding. At ang doctor na nagpapahirap sa kanya, ang ex-girlfriend niya at ang bago nitong boyfriend, ang nurse na si Walter. Doon ko napatunayang blood is thicker than Walter.
Guess watch? Di ko alam kung paano ko nagawa pero I was able to search and rescue Jay. Siguro adrenaline brush na yun.
Now, he’s recovering. Nag-sorry siya na hindi siya nakinig sa akin. I know it’s a better pill to swallow your fried so it’s forgive and forget me not. All swell that end swell. I know we should kiss and put on makeup.
Ang ex-girlfriend naman niya at si Walter, nakakulong na. Detention is really better than cure. So the moral of the lesson is: if symptoms persist, insult your doctor

_makasawa_

Drinking a cup of coffee, taking a bath, opting what to wear off, waiting for the service, arriving at my workplace, making a little chat with my co-workers, starting to open all my files... just some of my everyday routine that makes it irksome. I'm a bit feed up having a routinary life. I can know the things that will happen for the days to come, geez! My pinnae are quite wearied of hearing those too hoity-toity-la-di-da phrases. Seeing the same things, people, enocuntering same problems indeed makes me feel so tired. Sometimes, I want to cease having this kind of life but I have no alternative, so no matter how I quetch about it I still nees to deal with it. There is no excitement, fervor, hullabaloo in this kind of life. Life seems so pale and blanch..wheew!

my pEndzzz dEar

There is that acquaintance
that is so much a piece of you, that you feel solo just thinking about the idea of her not being there.
There is that friendly relationship
that has so much that it is grounded on that nothing could ever break up or even menace it.
There is that acquaintance
with whom you partake so much chronicle that one fight or being amiss rolls off nearly instantaneously, because one issue is so insignificant, and could never come close to shattering the bond.
There is that friendly relationship
That cannot always be explicated, but only understood and treasured by the two people that share it.
There is that acquaintance
that mean so much to you, that you honestly believe you would stop studying for a final exam, break a date with your crush of five years, or risk being grounded just so you could be there to lend a shoulder to cry on, offer a clinch, or spend three hours just sitting with her if that would make it at all better.
There is that friendly relationship
that has lasted through ten years of your life, and is still growing.
There is that acquaintance
who you can talk to about something that happened when you were eight years old, and she can relive that moment so vividly along with you..
There is that acquaintance
that knows you as well as you know yourself, and finds it special that you know her just as well.
There is that acquaintance
who can make you grin through your tears, or cry out of happiness.
There is that acquaintance
who is always there for you, and just realizing that she would be there is more than enough to make it better.
There is that acquaintance
who cares about clearing away your tears no less if you are crying over absolutely nothing or over something she may have done to hurt you.
I have friends like that,
and it is that friend that will always occupy a treasured piece of my heart and soul.

my sentiments

distressing sentiments

invades my head

filled with vanity,

forlornness,

and diffidence

when will it cease? will it ever end?
sad thoughts

im now collapsed into parts

with these visual modality in my mind

when will it stop? will it ever quit?

pitiful thinkings

stop wounding me now

its your retentiveness

that haunts me every night

when will it give up? will it ever LAST...

my nHar-- yna

when you came into my life
you added so much felicity in my spirit,
you taught me how to love and beloved.
you showed me how to give tongue to my emotions...
some say loving you is quite perplex
others told me to forget you
but i refused
they have tried to break us
we are conftonted with many troubles
we had been in a state of affairs
but i'd fight for you against all odds
i want to grow old with you
i want to take good care of you
i want to show you how much significant you are
i'm blessed,
i'm lucky
i'm thankful to you have you

you lightens up my mood when i'm so weary
i feel so secured when i'm with you
all my vexations, dreads and uncertainties faded...
you gave me hope,
you boost my confidence,
you gave me strength
and most especially,
you gave me my everything-- YNA!

2009

I'm a happy-go-lucky person, I do what I like to do and I go where I want to go. But who would thought that this laid-back-couch-potato-do-nothing brat would turn out to be a responsible and loving nanay to a colicky child. I used to envy my friends who already have babies 'coz I saw how happy they were, but bearing a child was the last thing on my mind. I know I'm not ready yet. Isn't it obvious?! I'm not mature enough to handle a family of my own, and even to act according to my age was somehow hard for me. I'm young at heart and at my age I still love to play with my brother, cousins and even our neighbor's children. I always laugh my heart out that annoys everyone that can heard and see the way I act. I was always being scolded by aunt's and by my ina of my attitude and they keep on telling me to “grow up!"

I had past relationships, some of which were to be cherished but most was better left forgotten. The last one was I think the most unforgettable but somehow a little complicated. We have been beau for almost six years. In our six years, we have encountered lots of problems in our relationship.

Year 2008 is not a good year for us because when it was the year that we almost parted our ways. We had lots of misunderstandings, we argue much and we never had peace of mind. March 2008, when we both agreed and decided to cool-off. We try to give each other space and we cut our communication. I tried to be brave and strong. I controlled myself to cry even if it's the hardest thing to do but I did. After two months, I had received a text message and he was the sender. His text goes, “Hart, can we please tok? Two mos had passed and I realized all my faults. Can u please give me another chance?” I still love him so I gave him another chance but with a little “pakipot”at first!LOL! To cut the story short, we're back in each others arms. After just a few weeks, we're starting to have problems again. He was based in manila so we are in a long distance love affair!haha... I was shocked when I went home that he was there at our house. He said he was there to solve our problem.(eu na plan i2! taienah!)

Weeks passed and I was doing fine as days went by, but some changes occurred. I was eating twice as much as I was eating before, and I was craving for some foods and early in the morning. Then, I loved to eat milo instead of drinking it. I feel hungry in just few minutes after I ate, imagine I just finished eating but still I'm hungry. I use to eat calamares and its aroma really, really makes me crave for it, 30 pieces of calamares is enough for me. I even drink the sauce of it!weird! By that time I had a feeling that I'm pregnant. So I decided to buy a pregnancy test. while doing the test, I was nervous but at the same time excited to see the result. Finally, I saw 2 red lines, it's positive---I'm preggy... My initial reaction was to shout and then I was stunned.

I told my friends about my situation but they considered it as a joke! I let them see the kit, then they just stared at me and they said, “Ayup, nyata ta nagpasapol ka!” then they laugh their heart out! There's no problem in confiding with my ina about my situation because she is very understanding. When I went home I told her that she was going to be a lola and became speechless. And a few minutes, she just said, “kidamlag magpacheckup kana.” I hugged her tight. When I tolf baby's dad about my situation, he was so happy and said, “see, naaus ta problema ta.” Ngeyk!un pla un! And he immediately offered me to marry him but I turned it down. I was not yet ready to be tied!hahaha. We have discussed it a lot and we even quarreled about it a hundred times. He keep on offering me that but I always said no! Time will come maybe!hehehe, I'm waiting for Albert Martinez kc!bwahaha...

As days went by, my cravings became more unusual and strange. Pineapple is my favorite and I will feel so depress if I couldn't eat even a single slice. Burger, spaghetti, french fries filled my stomach and baby liked it. I had the desire to eat "santol" but it was not yet in season that time. I also crave for buko and I'm flattered 'coz my friends were very supportive. Tin and Juju would drop by the buko store before going to work so that I will have something to eat. I even ate the “nagaraya” of Vann when I saw it, hahaha. Why? Why? Why? I also crave for Avocado good thing the canteen offered it and Ate Cecile and I ate because that time she was also pregnant. I really vomit everytime I smell the aroma of our dear canteen. And whenever I see their foods I'm starting out to be sick! Nang would usually give me star apple and I really, really appreciate it. And would you believe that when I was just two months pregnant I hate to take a bath! (Ewww, yucks. Baglaon) I hate the scent of soaps, shampoo's, cologne and the like. That time all the bawal the best for me, ice cream, softdrinks and junk foods. It feels so good when I have those. I was also so moody. I had a hard time dealing with my situation, I had to cope with morning sickness and vomiting, dizziness and laziness too, hahaha... Taba, is my greatest enemy when I'm pregnant!hehehe, I just hate him that time, I even don't know why and also Sir Jason, hehehe (peace men). It's really, really, really weird when one is pregnant. Wheew, good thing it ended.

Loosing the baby inside me was my biggest nightmare. It was my biggest fear. Getting rid of my baby never crossed my mind, the hell with the people who can't accept my situation. The mere thought that life was beginning to blossom inside me gave me enough courage and strength throughout my pregnancy. I used to feel so alone but as my tummy was growing bigger and my hips wider, I feel like a complete woman. When I have no one to talk to, everyday, I used to tap my tummy and tell my baby to wake up so that I will have someone to talk to already, funny but that was the most depressing days of my life. I was happy particularly when I felt movements inside my tummy. The feeling was kinda odd, but it made me smile. There was even an instance that I was sound asleep, when baby suddenly moved and won't stop. Maybe my baby was playing inside my tummy. Maybe she was braiding my intestines! Hahaha! Thoughts of her filled my mind throughout the day, 24/7. I was so excited.

When I was 8 months preggy, I went through ultrasound and we found out that it's a baby girl. During ultrasound, my OB said that baby was staring up when I laugh. Maybe she's happy too. Unexplained emotions filled me when I saw her on screen and heard her heartbeat and saw her move. Hayy, the feeling was so peculiar, I wanna buy all the pink dresses and other baby girl stuffs right away.

March 18, 2009, oh my gosh! The moment of truth, hahaha. After attending the perpetual mass, I went home and eat “kalamay” hehehe, yummy! After a dew minutes I fell asleep. It was almost 7:30 in the evening when my ina wake me up to have my dinner when I felt that I have squirted. I checked it and walah, there was a streak of blood in my undergarment. I was so, so, so nervous. I can heard my heartbeat and I'm also shaking. I knew that baby already wanted to see me. Ina made me calm. I said I'm okay, there was no pain yet. But the most memorable experience is yet to come. Hours later, I felt pain already but it was still tolerable. I even fell asleep. But as the pain grew, I thought that I will give birth already but it was false alarm. Believe it that time, I still managed to send text messages. I still can run a bit when the pain is there it's my way of battling the pain but labor was indeed so painful. It's a burden that no one could help me, except myself. I remained calm but I wanted to cry but my brother would say, “sus, uno na yang awong mo di na mapinta,” then I laugh. He repeated it and the third time he said that, I yelled at him because the pain is really killing me! I don't know what to do to ease the pain, but of course the only way was to let my baby see the world already. But it was not the right time yet, my only recourse was to hug ina when the pain attacked. But the pain just grew intolerable labor after labor.

When the doctor called me, I was again nervous, feels like I have committed a big crime and I was guilty...hehehe! The doctor asked me to lay down. I was so shy, oh my gosh, shy talaga parang virgin ba na wala pang nakakakita!hahaha... Then they put a catheter, oh damn it hurts so much. They are adding pain, gudness, masisipa ko pa, hay! I'm really begging if they can help me not to feel the pain, please give me a tranquilizer, but they just laughed. I even told the doctors that I already want to undergo euthanasia (mercy killing). They all laughed. But how could they laugh when I'm in so much pain?! Grrrrr. They told me that if I will be nervous they will be forced to have it caesarian. After hearing it, gosh I said, Doc, di pwede, kaya ko yadi, then ireeeeeeeeeeeee! That was my first attempt to do it, baby is still inside my womb. Then I touched my tummy and talked to baby, I said that she should not let nanay any longer, minutes later the doctor said that baby is ready to say hello to the world. They told me to tell them if there's pain and they told me to force it. They counted, one, two, three, push! Second attempt, still not successful. I even told them that, “doc, wait, nauudo ako! Time first!” they laugh out loud while I was starting to cry.

March 19, 2009, 6:31 P.M., in just a few minutes, I already heard my baby cry. I wanna cry too. The doctor let her lie on my tummy... So cute.. She's so big. The first thing that I uttered when I saw her was "Oh my God, galing ba tlg sya saken?" She was facing the other side so I did not see her face yet. All the pain and weariness vanished. When I saw ina I gave her a thumbs up. We were all so happy that at last, after the difficult labor, I made it! That was the hardest yet the best moment of my life. I named my baby, Yna Naomi Faye de la Torre Paguio. And now, she brings so much joy in my life. When I arrived home all my stress and tiredness after a day in work disappears when she smiled at me. Hayy, basta di ko tlaga maexplain ang namamatian! Basta yun na yun. You can feel it too when you become a mother! And for those who are already mothers, di ba I'm right or right?! bwahahaha

uoy evol i

I love you,

Not only for what you are,

But for what I am

When I am with you

I love you,

Not only for what

You ave made of yourself,

But for what

You are making of me.

I love you

For that part of me

That you bring out;

I love you

For putting your hand

Into my heaped-up heart

And passing over

All the foolish, weak things

That you can't help

Simply beeing there,

And for drawing out

Into the light

All the beautiful belongings

That no one else had looked

Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you

Are helping me to make

Of a lumber of my life

Not a tavern

But a temple

Out of the works

Of my every day

Not a reproach

But a song.

I love you

Because you have done

More than any creed

Could have done

To make the good

And more than any fate

Could have done

To make me happy.

You have done it

Without a touch,

Without a word,

Without a sign.

You have done it

By being yourself

Perhaps that is what

Being a special friend means

After all.

letTinG gO

By letting go, we actually allow more

of the mystery of life to come in for us.

Isn't that what we wanted all along

Freedom like a stone

Maybe we were wrong

But I can say goodbye

Now that the passion's died

Still it comes so slow

The letting go . . ."

Letting go. It is difficult for us in so many ways and on so many levels. Yet life calls upon us to do it, over and over again. Letting go is part of our growth process. We cannot move on to the new while continuing to cling to the old. There come times, in the context of love and romance, when we must learn to let go. For some of us, as described in the song, we must let go of a past romantic relationship. Maybe the relationship was not meant to be: perhaps it was hurtful to us, or perhaps it was hindering the personal or spiritual growth of one or both partners. In this case, even when there may still be feelings of passion, or attraction, or just the comfort of the familiar, we must be strong in letting go of something that is unhealthy for us.

“I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman,

because we are terribly strong,

we know what we want

and we are not fragile enough.”

Perhaps we have no problem leaving the person behind, but we continue to harbor animosity. In this case, we need to let go of the anger: holding onto anger does not serve us - and it might even serve to create problems in our physical health or emotional well-being.

In the realm of romantic relationships, some of us need to let go of unrealistic expectations. Whether we have idealized a past relationship or just read too many romance novels, some of us need to let go of the myth of the perfect lover: the fantasy of a relationship that requires no work and just brings us "happily ever after." By letting go, I am not implying "to forget" or "to ignore." By all means, we should carry with us the happy memories and the lessons we have learned from our past relationships. However, we need to let go in the sense of releasing emotional baggage we may be carrying around with us, so that we may be open to, and present for, a new relationship. The difficulty of letting go can be like a dark and ominous cloud that -- even on a sunny day - looms on the horizon.

Many of us have trouble letting go of old ways of viewing people who have been part of our lives for an extended period of time. They may be changing, and yet we do not let go of viewing them in the same way, and/or we try to discourage that change. We refuse to let go of the labeling, categorizing, and pre-set expectations we have of those we know, and of ourselves. This seems particularly true of many parents of teenage or young adult children. There is a saying: Let Go, Let God. For most, if not all, of us, the letting go that we most need to do is a type of surrender. We need to surrender to life, itself. This means that we need to let go of our illusion that we actually can control most aspects of our lives. In many cases, rather than to fight "what is," we need to learn to accept and to be at peace…

Too many of us are trying to keep a tight grip on things that are out of our control. This is like trying to grip the water flowing in a river. Put your hands into the river. If you try to get the water by grabbing it and clenching your fists, it goes right out of your hands. If you relax and open, gently cupping your hands, the water flows into your palms. By relaxing, opening, and trusting, we can hold onto more of what is precious to us. By letting go, we actually allow more of the mystery of life to come in for us.

Maybe we really need to let ourself grow, let's give each other a chance to have peace of mind. Let's try to keep a bit of respect for ourselves for us to gain the confidence we've lost. I think this could help us to know ourselves better. Maybe if we try to give each other a spcace we can realize the things we have done in the past. You know how much you mean to me and I'll keep it that way!

"Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about

love you will find that you are left

holding only yourself."

We had the right love

At the wrong time

Guess I always knew inside

I wouldn't have you for a long time
Those dreams of yours

Are shining on distant shores

And if they're calling you away

I have no right to make you stay

But somewhere down the road

Our roads are gonna cross again

It doesn't really matter when

But somewhere down the road

I know that heart of yours

Will come to see

That you belong with me

Sometimes good-byes are not forever

It doesn't matter if you're gone

I still believe in us together

I understand more than you think I can

You have to go out on your own

So you can find your way back home

And somewhere down the road

Our roads are gonna cross again

It doesn't really matter when

But somewhere down the road

I know that heart of yours

Will come to see

That you belong with me

Letting go is just another way to say

I'll always love you so

We had the right love

At the wrong time

Maybe we've only just begun

Maybe the best is yet to come'Cause
Somewhere down the road

Our roads are gonna cross again

It doesn't really matter when

But somewhere down the road

I know that heart of yours

Will come to see

That you belong

With me . . .

***if we are meant for each other, we really are..

no matter how hard trials and challenges may come our way

we can face and overcome it...

*** our relationship today is really in a make or break situation...
