THE UGLY TRUTH

Exactly 16 days since my last blog post. Time has been very erratic and I have been very drastic. I am currently undergoing a phase primarily described by not having any control on things. Basically, I am scared. I guess it’s normal to be scared after being placed in a very comfortable zone for such a long time.

I am a planner. I usually take a lot of time studying everything before I take any step. I usually calculate and predict every possibility of error or down turn whenever I am faced by a very tough situation. But right now, there are no options and my only choice is to gather all bravery and go on with the progressing turmoil.

I hope clichés would really work for me this time.

“It will only get better.”

“Tomorrow is another day.”

“Smile and the world will smile with you.”

“Sa simula lang yan, pag tumagal okay na.”

This phase is very nostalgic of that one day in my elementary school days. I was so scared to go to school because there is a multiplication table recitation. I was prepared but I just don’t possess the natural liking for Math. I have to go to school because” I have to” and not because “I wanted to”.

I know that you are puzzled with my issue. Forgive me, but I only aim to articulate this strange feeling I currently have.

Now, all I want is a sound sleep.

Okay, sorry for this lame use of title. This is not really about the movie, but I will soon publish my review on the flick. I just find the title very fitting for my current psyche surroundings. Forgive me.

23

And so i turned twenty three.

Two more years, and I’ll stop counting my age at twenty five.

A wise friend told me, 30 is a scary age.

But I am excited to see just how my life would be during that time.

So there goes the twenty three years of me.

It’s been fun, but it’s not easy.

I’ve never been an adult before, so everything is new to me.

I realized being an adult gives me a lot of things I can and cannot do.

An adult can have a solid bank account.

An adult can have his own post-paid phone line.

An adult can earn money to spend for needs and wants.

An adult should be careful and responsible for an adult can be put into jail, legally.

It’s a cliché - kids are more carefree and adults are worrier.

But this is solid truth.

I now see the stress of life. I now see the cycles.

I am now sharply aware that adults really need to work to achieve the real definition of having a life.

Adulthood offers power, annoyingly coupled by responsibilities.

It’s a wonders, but I sometimes feel like Im a misfit for adulthood.

It’s weird, but it feels like it’s only my skin which grows the age.

Is it possible for the physical being to age, while the bravado remains outdated but young?

WILLIE HATES CORY'S BURIAL NEWS?

The controversial video circulating around the internet which everyone tags as the highlight of this guy's douche bag tendencies.

And then this. Now, what can you make out of these? Is this how we plan to preserve the freedom of media given to us by Ninoy and Cory?

PEACE BE WITH CORY

Cory Aquino January 25, 1933 - August 01, 2009

The world icon of democracy.

The first lady president of the Philippines.

The first lady president in Southeast Asia.

Being a Filipino has never been this empowering,

And its all because of Cory's sincere love affair with our country.

Peace be with Cory.
