The Words About You and I

“The best way to get over a woman is to turn her into literature.”
-Henry Miller

And that’s why I guess I kept on writing, and writing, and writing, and writing.

To get over.

Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn’t.

But then again, I do agree that it is the best way of getting over someone.

Why?

Because one day, you will know that you are over that person when while giving all those chronicled feelings a read, the feelings that accompanied a piece don’t come back.

Yes, you will know to whom you dedicated a certain piece, but you won’t feel anything about it anymore.

No more sadness, no more guilt, no more remorse, no more helplessness…

No more love.

You are over a person when the words you have written start to make no sense to anyone anymore. Not even to yourself.

And then you are ready to write anew.

What 2008 has been.

Sinusoidal has always been the adjective I use to describe what had been. Saying that things have been roller coaster rides has always been a cliché, and I just want to be nerdy just like that.

Anyways. Shall I describe 2008 besides using the word sinusoidal? Ang bitin at ang nerdy pakinggan e. Heehee.

So here goes.

2008 has been the year of reclusive blogging. Compared to 2007 wherein I had around 275 public blog posts, I wrote only 122 public blog entries this 2008. I think it’s because I found it more comforting to write in my Multiply site, wherein I could easily cater to, write about, and write to people whom I know better. And another thing, my entries have been a little more personal. So took advantage of Multiply’s option to filter who could actually read my entries. Which I found very very satisfying.

2008 has been the year of ficlets, short stories, reflections, music and personal stories. Writing has always been an escape from reality for me. So whenever I found myself in a real life situation wherein I wanted to escape a while, I write about it in a “fictional” point of view. It’s therapeutic for me, as it can take some of the pain away (because you can actually control what happens in a fictional account, unlike in real life). But if I can’t really express myself in writing, I express myself in song. And that explains the numerous copy-pasted lyrics.

And that is because 2008 has been the year of hello and goodbye, and hello, and goodbye, and hello, and finally a goodbye. My heart has been stuck in a harmonic oscillator this 2008. I tried to keep my spring constant high, but the attached person has applied too much force. And eventually it hurt too much. I allowed the spring to break, and my heart ended up breaking too. I don’t know why I held on that long.

2008 has been the year of faith. While enduring all the emotional pain (wow how emo!) I had nothing else to hold on to but my faith. I was not allowed to talk about what has been happening to me emotionally, because I was in a forbidden relationship, to begin with. God has always been there for me, and that’s why I kept on writing about Him.

2008 has been the year of academic adjustment and breaking in. I was finally able to take up regular Physics subjects, and of course, being the Physics noob that I am, some parts ended up as epic fails. Figuratively and literally. I dropped 1 subject, and then failed another, and then crawled my way through a few others. But I did do good in a few subjects though (I had 6 line of 1s, two of which were flat 1s). And I got myself in a laboratory! And most importantly, I got myself a whole lot of new friends, my Physics friends. :D

2008 has been the year of friendship. Friendships have been tested, celebrated, and made. Because of the relationship I was in back then, I started asking myself who my friends really were, and I started avoiding people (which I really really regret doing). We were both trapped in this bubble of insecurity wherein we thought that everyone was against us. But then coming to my senses and ending that relationship, I sought out my friends. I went out with them, had lunch with them, went out of town with them, went videoke-ing with them, went drinking with them, and so on. And I’m so happy I realized what has been happening and didn’t allow these people to fade away from my life. And oh, I made a whole lot of new friends too! (as mentioned in the previous paragraph).

2008 has been the year of family. Every family goes through tough times, and it’s these tough times that make the family stronger. Each member might not see eye to eye sometimes, but at the end of the day, these are the people who will truly love you no matter what.

2008 has been the year of love. From family, friends, God. :)

2008 has been the year of happiness, sadness, blissfulness, cheerlessness, joyfulness, heartbrokenness, etc etc. O diba, up and down?

So being up and down, and as I mentioned in the first paragraph, I can now say that 2008 has been the year of sinusoids.

And I’m very very thankful that this year will be ending with the sinusoid at it’s highest peak. And I do hope it’ll stay there longer than I expect it to.

Farewell, 2008.

Hello, 2009. :)

… sembreak na.

Tara guys, labas naman tayo o. Gusto kong mag-out of town.

Physics people, tara sama tayo sa SPP sa Baguio! Makakahanap daw ng bahay na matitirhan nanay ko. Yung problema lang ay saan ako maghahanap ng mga titira. Hahahaha. Well, kahit ndi na tayo sumama sa SPP proper, basta lang makapaglakwatsa tayo. Sabihin agad kung game! Yung mga under ata kay Doc Blanca required daw diba? :) ) Pero ako kahit ndi ako required gusto ko pa rin sumamaaaaaaa.

BWI, tara Tagaytay! Hahaha. Ilang beses nang naka-cancel yun (o narerelocate). Sana naman pwede tayong lahat. At ang inuman na palagi ring ndi natutuloy! Miss ko na kayo!

Josie, Ephy, Louj, Pat, Kia, Dors, Pet, Nicai, Gelo Lem, Ronin, Carl, birthday season na naman ngayong Oktoberfest. Magpapainom kaya si Pet o Gelo o Nicai o Ephy? Ubo ubo. Hahaha. (Ilabas ang Tosca!)

A 3 year old boy: ABDUCTED.

I do hope they find the kid soon. Y’all know that I have a soft spot for kids. It just angers me that someone has the gall to snatch this 3 year old boy for their personal gain. Diba? Tatlong taong gulang na batang walang kamuwang-muwang sa mundo, ilalayo nila sa magulang nila? At may sakit pa ang bata sa lagay na yan.

Anyways. I’m reposting his tita’s article here in my blog just in case someone out there in the blogosphere knows where the kid is.

Taken from: http://melquita.multiply.com/photos/album/348/HELP_My_Nephew_Was_Abducted

My pamangkin, Kuya Ken’s son Matthew, where we took the other half of the business namesake was abducted last night at Festival Mall in Alabang.

Name: Matthew” Chu-chu” David Samudio
Age: 3 Years Old, Can barely speak straight.
Address: 16 guyabano st umali rd. summitville subdivision putatan muntinlupa city 1770

He was last seen at Tom’s World Arcade in Festival Mall Alabang, around 8pm yesterday July 22, 2008 wearing Green Checkered Polo, Maong pants and Green Mr. Bean Slippers.

When we reviewed the surveillance camera in said mall, there was this chubby impoverished looking girl around 12-13 years old wearing a dirtied pink top with floral design and a reddish jogging pants who summoned my nephew and then whispered something to him, then my pamangkin who is very “bibo” readily took her hand as they went out of the said premises.

Guys, I need your help with this, if you know people in the media, police or government agency who might be able to HELP us locate my nephew, I’m begging you, please, please help us. Or at the very least, please pass this message to as many people as possible, who knows where the abductors might have taken him… Matthew is a very sickly kid, he rarely eats unless his yaya feeds him and he was about to have an operation for fluid in his right testis.

If there are any news or lead that can locate my nephew, please help us… Sobrang kawawa ang pamangkin ko, who knows how they are treating him…I dont want this thing happening to any kid so please help my nephew. PLEASE. You can contact my brother at 0923-638-4632.

Thank you so much and God Bless you!

I’ll Be There For You Through It All

Besides random Bible passages and naturally occuring beautiful phenomena, God speaks to me through song. That’s one of the reasons why I always keep my iPod on shuffle mode, because who knows, God may have planned that seemingly random playlist of mine.

And this afternoon He did not fail me. While Josie and I were hanging out this afternoon, earphones plugged into our ears, Josie asked me to turn up the volume in one of the songs. She almost burst into tears as she felt it was Kuya Jess speaking to her through the song. And indeed, it did feel like it was Him singing the song, not only to her, but to me, to you, to all of us.
