Soon enough, I think I'll be really needing some time off. A time for myself, at least. A time when I can pause. It's been a crazy time. It's both been wonderful and challenging and I just feel like I will need time on my own - to reconnect with and find myself again. Perhaps a new place will help. Perhaps meeting a new soul would be nice. Perhaps getting away from the usual bustle is an answer.
Pangunahan ko na, sorry kung hindi ganoon kaganda yung magagawa ko. I know halos 1 year mo na din tong hinihintay and I just want you to know na kahit hindi maganda yung pagkakasulat; everything I am to write is sincere and heartfelt.
Una. Happy Birthday and I wish you all the best in life because I know you deserve it. :-bd Anyway... moving on.
Chronicle Buddy
Unang-una, salamat. Alam mo naman na sa halos lahat ng org. magkasama tayo. Pero we both know naman na una talaga tayong naging close dahil sa Chroni. And dahil dun, mas nakilala kita and Carol. Dati kasi, nung first year pa lang, diba nga may grupo and all, and it just so happened na dun kayo sa "Cool Guys" na group napunta so I think mali yung first impression ko sayo. :)
Doppelganger
Hay nako, eto talaga yung issue na siguro kailangan na lang talaga natin tanggapin. :) Hihi. It's not that bad naman din. :) Although mas komplikado lang sa part ko kasi hindi lang ako natatawag ng 'Dan', minsan natatawag rin akong 'Vincent'. Pero anyway, it's really not much of a big deal to me. I actually find it amusing... at times, kapag napapagpalit nila tayong dalawa. Lalo na yung kay Kuya Ace dati. :) Hihi.
The All Around Guy
Kung meron mang grupo ng mga taong kayang gawin ang lahat ng bagay, I think you would be one of them. You possess both talent and determination to make things possible. Even more, you have that undying will and you always have that specific goal you want to achieve which directs you and your life -- which is a good thing. Mahal mo kasi yung mga ginagawa mo, although minsan nahihirapan ka na, I know na hindi ka pa rin susuko kasi sabi ko nga -- you make things possible. You finish what you started. You always do. Sobrang dependable mo. Sobrang wala akong masabi and hands down ako sayo. Keep it up lang, pero make sure na as you pursue your goals in life; keep in mind na you are not alone in this pursuit. May mga tao sa paligid mo na handang tumulong; meron din yung hihilahin ka pababa; at meron din yung posible mong matapakan as you go up. If you need help, then ask for one. If you're being brought down, then pull yourself up. And if in case may matapakan ka man... look back, say sorry, make amends, and continue moving forward. Naniniwala ako na someday magiging sobrang successful mo. Pero hindi magiging madali yung path towards it. Lahat tayo marami pang dadaanan. The biggest challenge is who will we become once we're there, and how are we going there. :)
Real Friend
Pero most of all, alam mo... nagpapasalamat ako kasi naging kaibigan kita. You practically know me too well already. You've seen my shadows; alam mo na rin almost lahat ng darkest secrets ko (HAHA!) and you are always there when I need guidance. Thank you. Lalo na yung mga moments last year ;). Maraming salamat kasi di ka nagsasawang tulungan ako. Tapos ikaw rin yung nagpupush sa limits ko, nagsasabing I can do better. that I can do something. Salamat. :)
Brother
Although biologically hindi naman talaga tayo brothers; I consider you as one already. Besides sa ka-birthday mo yung brother ko, I think in another universe baka sakaling kapatid nga kita. Haha. :) Pero kidding aside, isa ka sa mga taong sana laging maasahan when I need help -- and siyempre likewise din. I'll always be here! :) I will.
Complex Fellow
Too many shades.
Too many masks.
A protective barrier.
With a kind and honest heart.
You carry a lot of complexities which makes you one of a kind.
Nag-iisa ka. Gaano man ka-complex, there's one thing I'm sure of, nag-iisa ka talaga Dan! :D Happy Birthday!
I know how it feels to lose faith in yourself and trust me, I know how it can become so devastating. You have to know that I’ve already been there, I already went through that. You need to know that whatever shit you are feeling right now, it’s gonna be gone once you let go of it. You have to let this anxiety and all the burdens you retain take off from your life.
I know it’s not easy. You need help.
So here I am.
At present, I've been finding myself working on a new project - helping and pushing people to greater opportunities. I really don't know how all of this became possible, to be honest. Maybe I'm paying it forward, maybe because I want to see my friends becoming achievers as well, or maybe I just want them to open their selves to all the possibilities and opportunities coming their way. My job now is to make sure they catch that they don't miss that train of chance; or if they missed it, well, I'll get them heading for another station and have them expect a ride on opportunity express. While me, I guess I'll be waiting outside the lines, constantly making sure that we all experience one fun ride.
The string is plucked,
The tone, determined.
I start to play the rhythm.
It's been like this
For three, drawn-out years;
Going through everyday
With a heart of delight,
amidst being reserved.
_ _ _
You move to your own tempo
Of illusory sound.
_ _ _
I play the rhythm,
You appreciate with a smile
With insignias of meaning
Imposed through your hands.
I take the role of the musician
With you as the conductor;
Every wave, a sign of satisfaction.
Every gesture, a language spoken.
_ _ _
You don't need to doubt,
For you shall be heard.
I shall hear you out.
Just give me the signs
And we shall continue
To be in this harmony.
_ _ _
For in the silence,
In your muteness,
We shall still create our music.
Open yourself to the world. See everything that's around you now and regret ever depriving yourself from these things. Take every golden opportunity that fate bestows upon you; it'll help you grow.
If it seems uneasy, and when it gets callous, do not fret. I'll help you. Just put your brave on and free yourself now.
