Road Trip

I have always travelled since I was small. My earliest childhood memories were those of me and my Lola travelling on a bus from our small rural town to a more progressive town. I don't even remember what we do there, I just know that it will be a long, hot, bumpy and dusty ride -- with people and animals. Yes, we travelled with chicken, pigs and sometimes even goats.

So travelling is not really a problem for me. I like being on the road, in the sea or on air. It gives me a sense of peace, being on transit, being in that state of momentary suspension, a moment of 'in between' and 'in the meantime'.

And I say all of these tonight, when I am about to make yet again another 8 hour bus ride from Cablelandia to Gotham... another one of my genuine me-time.

Bakit UP?

I was asked this question today... "Bakit UP?" (Why choose the University of the Philippines?).

I can think of so many small things -- the sunflowers during summer, the Ikot jeep, the isaw and fishballs, the sunken garden and lagoon, the gigantic trees at the university avenue, the sablay, the carillon, that patch of greenery beside the UP College of Fine Arts, the shopping center, Chocolate Kiss, CASAA, the stone benches between the AS Pavs, si Oble, the student # which you will never forget for the rest of your life.

I couldn't give one specific response, one singe answer. It's just because... I feel safe there, like it's my refuge.

Headache, enough! please let me be!

Night Bus

I am the kind of person who seldom gets bored. In fact, my problem is that there's just so many things that I want to do, like read more books, watch more movies, have longer conversations with friends, sleep longer, visit my nieces more, paint/sketch more, exercise regularly -- but there aren't enough hours in a day. I often find myself trying to squeeze in all these things in the little gaps in my busy daily routine. What I don't usually have time for, is the worry-less, free-spirited, spontaneous time for doing nothing, or pondering about life and the universe. And the only time that I am able to do this is when I'm in a long night bus ride to or from the province. The anonimity and aloneness, coupled with the darkness and the lull from the moving bus somehow gives me comfort and a sense of calm -- an almost tranquil state that I am able to think about things and ponder about the future, or the past... Almost completely forgetting about the present. Such night is tonight. July 9

Sabi ni Daddy...

I grew up always hearing these wise words from my father...  

"Live within your means." and "Live a simple life."  

"One can never be successful without humility."  

"Live an honest life."  

"Always be prepared."  

"When you plant your own garden, you can never go hungry."  

"Don't be dependent." (particularly about learning new things)  

"Take care of your car." and "Always check the brakes, water, fluid, tires, etc."  

"Organize and get rid of the clutter."  

"Practice. Practice. Practice."  

  Thank you, Daddy, for the guidance. Happy father's day! I miss you! 

And then some...

I am not a sinner. Nor I am a saint.

I don't like black. Nor hate white.

I am selfish. I love to share.

I am bold. And I am shy.

I am complex. But I am pure.

I am simple. But I am complicated.

I am not one. Or the other. I am the beginning. And the end. And all points. In between.

I am 32... No, 322 favors. And then some.

Happy birthday to me! And this is my bday song.

Same old, same old?

I have a new job, but somehow, it feels the same. I am still in this same old airport, flying in the same old airline, going to the same city.

But somehow, I feel happier... More free.

Good vibes.
