disclaimer: this entry will be wrought with incoherence primarily due to the fact that i really do not know where to start. reading on means that you will tolerate this incoherence/babbling. you have been warned.
i.
friday's night was one of a kind! the early part of the night was spent at a dance concert where the mchs sayawatha, together with the pep squad, performed their art. amazing what costumes, good music and even better choreography can do. congrats to you, girls!
the question of that hour was: how much did the pep squad spend for their stage design and costumes? (they had around 8 dances, each with different costumes, each with different sets. they even had suspension wires a la matrix for one dance!)
nyoy volante was the next item on the agenda. we headed off to eastwood and hung out at jack's loft (yummy fishbowl iced tea!). nyoy volante's music played in the background. who could want anything more?
i. (epilogue)
when i brought my friend home, i chanced upon her brother (my kabarkada) with several other common friends. even if i was dead tired at that time, i couldn't pass the opportunity to hang out for a little while. 3 or 4 glasses of wine later, i just had to head on home. still had a big game in the morning.
ii. then the morning comes
v-day. where was i? cchq, of course! it was my time to get stuff i needed/wanted for my vampire deck.
a fraction of a game later, i headed off to share a bit of my own life to 35+ dazers. everytime i get to do that, i remember why i do what i do.
iii. minsan lang…
sibol didn't stage sinta this year. what they did have went beyond expectations. it was a valentine's concert. my date? no one. i am actually happy that that night played out that way. it was refreshing to get out of the valentine's box. the box that says "you shoud have a date tonight," or "singles are losers". in particular, there was this poem that was delivered that i couldn't stop thinking about.
araw ng mga puso
(rico abelardo)
mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nagmamahal
nang makita ng lahat ang mukha ng pag-ibig
ipamalas ang tamis ng malalim na pagkakaunawaan
sa mga malabo ang paningin.
mangyari lamang na tumayo rin ang mga nagmahal at nasawi
nang makita ng lahat ang mga sugat ng isang bayani
ipadama ang pait ng kabiguan
habang ipinagbubunyi ang walang katulad
na kagitingan ng isang nagtaya.
mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nangangambang magmahal
nang makita ng lahat ang kilos ng isang bata
ipamalas ang katapatan ng damdamin na pilit ikinukubli
ng pusong lumaki sa mga engkanto't diwata.
mangyari lamang na tumayo ang nagmahal, minahal at iniwan
ngunit handa pa ring magmahal
nang makita ng lahat ang yaman ng karanasan
ipamalas ang katotohanang nasaksihan
nang maging makahulugan ang paghagulgol sa dilim.
at sa mga nananatiling nakaupo
mangyari lamang ay dahan-dahang tumalilis
palabas sa nakangangang pinto
umuwi na kayo!
at sumbatan ang mga magulang
na nagpalaki ng isang halimaw.
at sa lahat ng mga naiwang nakatayo
mangyari lamang na hagkan ang isa’t isa
at yakapin ang mga sugatan
mabuhay tayong lahat
na nagsisikapmakabalik sa ating pinagmulan
manatiling masaya at higit sa lahat
magpatuloy sa pagmamahal.
