Hindi Makatulog

Hindi ako makatulog. Galing akong bloodbath sa Rep. Haggard ako. Happy din ako. Pagod din ako. Alam ko wala kayong pakialam. Basta. Nakikinet na naman ako kay mariani. Addict na talaga ako sa blog. Shet. Ang dami ko pang babasahin. Wala na akong pera. Sana magkaraket na ako. Sana makapag - unwind din ako as soon as matapos ang prod.=D Isa lang masasabi ko, kahit pagod na ako, alam ko masaya ako sa ginagawa ko at pinagpapaguran ko... hoo.... plastic aika! heheehehe.

But this is true. =D

With or Without You

Currently, I love the Gregorian Chant version... (courtesy of my roomie=D)
Although nothing beats U2's original version!


See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you

jigsaw

I am at the point of confusion. A point where not even myself could fathom what has been going through my mind. But still the following aligns with self analysis. Narcissism.

I was thinking about Valentines Day and how I hated myself for not being able to attend the MOB. I don't need to reiterate how budget cut sucks. I just felt a genuine sense of disappointment. That fateful Feb.14, I woke up at one in the morning and didn't go back to sleep all through out the day. I had a 7am class. I wore my bright red, plain shirt for the mobilization. I had a major report. I had my final exams in Italian12. I was supposed to attend the rally. But obviously I could not. I was thinking maybe I am really a weakling. For not being able to prioritize the things in my life. And i stayed late that same day for about 10pm for Rep prod rehearsals.

Everytime I go home in Yakal Hotel, I want to smash my red pail. It reminds me of robots. Unfortunately, I am the robot. It's the whole process of taking a bath, arranging my bed and table until it's spic and span, drinking Nescafe ice (current addiction) and 20 minutes later I'm off to dreamland. almost every night, I do this. And in the morning, I wake up and take a bath with my red pail.

There's no text message in my 3310 cellphone. Nothing new.


I love acting. But somehow, I got tired of rehearsing everyday. I adore the limelight and the fact that I would be performing onstage. And it has always been my belief that as long as I love what I am doing, I would endure whatever sacrifices and risks it entails. Sadly, everyday I feel the need to escape. I dream of vacation. I am running away. From the simplest notion of waking up on a Saturday morn with nothing to do up to wild imaginings of Baguio and Venice. I just want to do nothing. Be idle for once.

Professor Carlos Aureus is a very inspiring man.

I never thought I would thirst for so much knowledge. In my entire high school life i was not that exposed to a world that would conjure freedom, knowledge, social events, politics, culture and everything in between. Back then I just know they exist. But now I want them learned and experienced by me before I reach 20. I want to learn. Literally, I thirst for books.

I have always loved foreign languages. especially the romance languages. Especially Italian.


Ma, nganong pobre man ta? (translation: Ma, why are we poor?)I am poor and so is the world. Every night in my orange bed I think about the poor. (Which would also mean I think a lot about myself) Really. My subjects in the university always talks about 16th and 17th century England. The time of Industrial Revolution, Renaissance and unstable government. The time when the people from the countryside rushed to the cities to seek for jobs as the Industrial Revolution arose. Poverty super existed. What I am saying is that our country resembled the 16th and 17th century England.Ha.

I sleep a lot. I sleep during my free time. Like one and a half hours before my classes and before rehearsals.

I am complete with or without you. But having you is a bonus. I heard that somewhere.

Kahit gaano man kalalim o kababaw ang ilog, hanggang sa dibdib pa rin yan ng mga bibe. I read that somewhere. And I laughed. Nonsense.

Coherent?

Canon in D major. =D

a bicycle, a sunny day, an open road

Somewhere in the countryside of Austria there was this open road. No people at all. Just the open road and the green, brown plains at both sides of the road. It was divided into two lanes. Concrete cement. At around 8 o'clock in the morning when the sun has just started to shine for that day, I rode my bike with no particular destination. Japan perhaps.

I pedaled and went on and on all through out the smooth, wide road. It was like yoga. I thought only of how wonderful it is to be riding my bike in such a fine weather, in such a desrted place where no one would care, no one to bother me. As I biked, the wind was blowing through my cheeks. Although I could not see it, I know it flushed pink. It was healthy like apples freshly picked. Surprisingly, my feet never tired. I felt free. Free and dreamy...

bud jet kut

Hindi man lang ako nakasama sa mob noong ika – labing apat ng pebrero. Nasa plano ko na talaga ang magwalk out sa klase ko. Minsan lang ako makaramdam ng sobrang pagka – agit. Chet (pronounced as “syet”) talaga. Umaga pa lang pulang – pula na ang suot ko hindi dahil valentines.

Grabe na yang 357 M na budget cut. Ito na yata ang pinakamalaking budget cut sa kasaysayan ng UP. Sa totoo lang yan na talaga. Chet. Ibang klase talaga ang gobyerno. Ibang klase sa pagpraprioritize. Hanep. Kaya ba lalong naghihirap ang bansang ito? Talaga. Isipin mo na lang kung gaano hindi pinapahalagahan ang edukasyon. Para saan pa at isa tayong State U kung unti – unti ng pinapabayaan ng pamahalaan ang responsibilidad nito. UP naming mahal. UP naming unti – unti ng nagiging mahal. Chet. Noong biyernes, nag – ED sa akin si ate Jet tungkol dito. Maliban sa mga statistics o konkretong mga figures na sinabi niya sa akin, nakakalungkot at nakakagalit na talaga ang pagpapabaya ng pamahalaan. Inuuna ang mga pagbabayad sa debt servicing bago serbisyong sibiko at panlipunan. Naaprove nga nong Disyembre 2004 sa Kongreso ang budget na umano’y 4.162B na lamang mula sa 4.52B noong nakaraang taon. At kung tutuusin, mahigit kumulang 4.9B ang prinopose ng UP Administration ngayong taong ito. Grabe. Kahit di ko na ulitin, lahat ata ay tutol dito. Malamang.

Gusto ko lang ishare ang natutunan ko sa ED kung saan ba o paano naipapamahagi o naitutustos ang budget ng UP. Ayon sa natutunan ko, may tatlong prinsipal na pinapatunguhan ang pondo. Una na doon ang personal services, pangalawa ang MOOE Maintenance and other Operating Expenditures, at pangatlo ang Capital Otlay. Ayoko naman talagang maging teknikal pero gusto ko lang talga i share ang mga ito. Walang pakialamanan. Ang personal services ay tumutukoy sa serbisyo at pagpapasweldo sa mga UP faculties, ang MOOE ay sumasaklaw naman sa pagpapanatili ng mga pasilidad ng unibersidad tulad ng elektrisidad, tubig, ilaw, upuan, blackboard at lahat na; at ang capital outlay ay yung pondong ginagamit sa pagpapatayo ng bagong mga gusali at imprastraktura dito sa unibersidad kasama na dito ang mga colleges at waiting sheds atbp. Gayon (wala lang) mas malinaw kung saan napupunta ang pondo at mas malinaw na talagang importante ang sapat na budget dahil nanganganib na talaga ang kalagayan natin at ng pinakakmamahal nating UP. Alam ko na alam ito (dapat alam ito) ng bawat estudyante, ng mga tunay na iskolar ng bayan. Ini – emphasize ko lang. At eto pa, sa budget ngayon constant ang sa personal services, ibig sabihin walang pagtataas sa sweldo ng mga empleyado, mas malaki ang naka – allot sa MOOE at mas konti ang sa capital outlay. Ibig sabihin mas malaki ang ginugugol sa pagpapanatili sa mga kagamitan at pasilidad ng unibersidad ng sa gayon ay hindi na bumili ng bago at magmaintain nalang habang buhay. (Ginagawa ko ba kayong bobo? Pasensya)

Basta yun. Chet talaga. Kailangang dagadagan hindi bawasan. Chet. Dapat nating ipagpasalamat at maraming progresibong propesor ang ating pamantasan. Paano na lamang ang kalidad kung sa kalaunan ay mapipilitan ng magsialisan silang mga nagtuturo. At paano na tayong pag – asa ng bayan? (Cliche) Paano maisasakatuparan ang mga pangarap sa tuluyang kapabayaan ng pamahalaan?

Chet. Hindi ako naksama sa rally.
Lucer. May MOB ngayong huwebes. Hindi na naman ako makakasama.
Lucer.
Chet. =(

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." -Ralph Waldo Emerson-

"Being happy in each others company doesn't necessarily mean being in love" aika

I just thought of this in the last ten minutes

Could anyone slap me and cup my face
and tell me for the hundredth time
that waiting is a virtue.
Yes cupping my face is a must.
No specific reason or rather a hidden reason.
Just a fantasy reality check.
I don't want my angsts anymore.
I don't want my angsts anymore.
How does one get rid of something
which is continually felt?
Maybe a yellow tshirt would wash away
a couple of my sadness

Poor

Mahirap walang masabihan. Mahirap ang walang kakampi. Mahirap yung pakiramdam ng nag – iisa lalo na kung alam mong pinapalibutan ka ng mga tao. Mahirap ang paghihintay. Mahirap walang pera. Mahirap maubusan ng panahon. Mahirap magdamdam at magtago ng saloobin. Mahirap tumawa kung hindi ka naman natatawa. Mahirap umiyak na walang tumutulong luha. Mahirap gawin ang mga bagay na dati akala mo siya ng magpapasaya sa iyo. Mahirap paligayahin ang tao sa paligid mo. Mahirap umasa. Mahirap magpanggap. Mahirap ngumiti pag alam mong di kusa. Mahirap matulog ng maraming iniisip.

Mahirap tuparin ang mga pangarap.

Mahirap maghintay sa mga bagay na matagal mo ng ipinagdarasal

Mahirap ang maging malungkot.

Baka regla lang to…

Sana nga regla na lang…

Time will tell the Clock

in filipino "Ang Panahon ang Magsasabi sa Orasan"

Naramdaman niyo na ba yung feeling na hinahabol yung oras? Literal na hinahabol. Yun bang kulang na lang pati paghinga ay wala ka ng panahon. At ang nakakyamot pa ay ang pag aaksaya mo ng oras sa mga sandaling libre ka.( ang tawag ko sa mga sandaling yan ay to-good-to-be-true)

Simula pa lang ng linggo hinahabol na ako ng sandamakmak na readings, papers at org activities. Minsan nakaklimutan ko ng tumae, sa totoo lang. Pagod na pagod na ako. Gusto ko ng mag - aral pero inaantok na ako. Gusto kong mgbasa ngmaraming libro hindi na kaya ng malaking mata ko. Gusto kong mahiga sa kama ko at makinig ng taimtim hindi ko naman nagagawa yun ng hindi iniisip ang mga nakabinbing trabaho. Gusto ko mang pumunta ng SM at manood ng "a long engagement" wala na talagang panahon. Kahit nga gustuhin ko lang pumasok na handa sa discussion, hindi ko rin mgawa dahil sa sobrang dami ng gagawin wala akong masimulan.

Love ko ang sinabi ni kenikenken sa Kule ngayon. "Lulubog ang araw na wala akong nauumpisahan at sisikat ang araw na wala akong natatapos". Close ba tayo kenikenken o sadya lang akong tanga at hindi ko man lang maisip na ang nararanasan ko ngayon ay ang pinakanatural na ngyayari sa isang estudyante? Sa tingin ko, tanga. ako.

Pero kahit tanga ako sa pagbubudget ng oras ko, hindi naman siguro ako ganun kasama para naising sana magkaroon ng dalawang sabado at dalawang linggo o di kaya para mas masaya maraming sabado at linggo. Sunod - sunod yun ha. Haaay... hindi na palaako tanga. tamad.

Time will tell the clock kung kelan kaya mangyayari na sa isang umaga paggising ko: masarap sa pisngi ang pagsikat ng araw. maliligo ako at mag - aamoy bulaklak, kakain ng cinnamon para sa aking agahan, magsusuot ng puting damit at sumbrero na may pink na bulaklak at lalabas ng bahay na nakatsinelas at hahayaan ang oras na magsabi sa mga susunod kong gagawin.

Aksaya talaga ako sa oras. Tulad ngayon.

Time will tell the clock alam mo yun, parang you can never can tell. Basta.
