Flyleaf (Completed)

-a blank leaf in the front or the back of a book.

—————————–

If you don’t know where you’re heading…
If you don’t know what to do…
And if you don’t know what will happen next…
Still…
Take a leap of faith…

—————————–

I’m stuck…
Here I am, doing the same thing everyday…
Going around in circles…

Sa mga taong wala ng gaanong balita tungkol sa akin…
Here’s a recapitulation…

May isang estudyante ng ECE sa isang university sa hindi kalayuang lugar…
Siguro nasanay lang siya…
Kaya’t nasisikipan siya sa laki nitong so-called university na ito…

And there he is…
Isang huwarang estudyante…
Marami na siyang bagong kaibigan…
Hindi na ulit siya nag-iisa…
Pero malungkot ang kanyang puso…

Kadalasa’y highest sa lahat ng tests nila…
At palaging taga-check ng test papers ng iba…
Sumali rin siya sa isang quizbee…
Nag-top siya sa nasabing contest about Mathematics…
Electronics…
At Communication na hindi pa niya kahit kailan napag-aralan…
1st place siya…
Take note…
1st year at 2nd year students ang mga kalaban niya…
Maraming namangha at nabilib…
Ngunit ang binata’y nanatiling malungkot…

Siguro dahil namimiss niya ang saya ng tunay na tagumpay…
Walang hirap ika nga…
Bitin…
Bitin na bitin…
Kamakailan nga ay naganap ang midterm exam…
At ito ang naging resulta…
(Blow the horns)
(Beat the drums)
Here it is…
Nothing special though…

>>>Pasig Community Life…
-Lessons: Pasig Landmarks and History…
Pakiramdam niya’y bagsak siya…
Pero wala, okay lang sa kanya…
Isa naman siyang mabait na leader…

>>>Study and Thinking Skills…
-Lessons: Library, Dictionary, Spelling, Affixes at Synonym of words…
Parang mani lang…
Top score siya…
He blasted off at the speed of light…
Kung nandoon lang sana ang bespren niya…
Pinagpawisan pa siguro siya…

>>>College Algebra…
After three weeks, pumasok na si ma’am…
Approximately 95% an bumagsak…
Ngunit ang binata’y nakakuha ng perfect score…
Bilib!

>>>Trigonometry…
-Lessons: Trigonometric Functions, Degrees, Radians and Logarithms…
Sure na sure siya sa sagot…
Biglang boom…
Kala niya top score na…
Mali pala ang check…
Makikipagdigmaan pa sana siya sa teacher niya the following monday….
Too bad…
Ayaw ni ma’am na tinatama siya…

>>>General Chemistry…
-Lessons: Physical Properties of Elements and Laboratory Precautions…
Parang elementary lang…
No sweat!
Highest ulit!
Lecture- 91%
Laboratory- 96%

>>>Physical Education…
-Lesson(s): Physical Fitness; Health-related and Skill-related Aspects…
Ang weird ng test…
May crossword puzzle…
Nagulat siya sa results…
Once again, siya ang highest…

>>>Civil Welfare Training Service…
-Lesson(s): NSTP- ROTC, CWTS, LTS; 7 Dimensions of Human Dignity…
Madali lang sana…
May essay din…
Boring nga lang…
OK lang…
Mabait naman siya e…

>>>Engineering Drawing…
-Lesson(s): Orthographic Drawing…
Simpleng Drawing Plate lang…
Palagay niya ang kaibigan niyang si lara ang highest doon…
Lagi naman e…
Galing ni IDOL!

>>>Electronics…
-Lessons: Ohm’s Law, Circuits, Voltage, Current and Resistance…
6 items…
Nakapagtataka lang, midterm exam ba talaga ‘yun?
Nagkaroon din ng remedial exam…
Para saan pa’t electronics ang specialty ng family niya?

And there it is…
Sa wakas natapos din…
He can’t wait any longer…
Gusto na niyang mag-final exam!
THE END!

High School Musical 3: Senior Years

This would be the very first entry in my blog having no relation with my previous entries. This is simply to inform everyone, especially HSM fans, about the upcoming movie, High School Musical 3: Senior Years.

Now high school seniors, Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez are facing the prospect of being separated from each other as they go off in different directions when graduating from East High. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, including Sharpay Evans, Ryan Evans, Chad Danforth, Taylor McKessie, as they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about the future.

In February 2007, Disney announced plans for a 2008 feature film sequel with a Halloween theme dubbed “Haunted High School Musical.” In September of 2007, Disney announced that they had scrapped plans for the Halloween theme and instead will focus on the senior year of key characters at East High.

Just a while ago, the official trailer was premiered on Disney Channel. The movie will feature 10 new original songs, including “Now or Never” and “High School Musical”.

Just check out the official trailer on youtube or just click this link:

This is surely another must-see movie from Disney. Its release date is October 24, 2008. Only in theaters.

A Close Look To Rizal High School 5

5th Part

3rd Year- Buhay Junior

It was just yesterday ng huli kong mabisita si Rizal. Mga tatlong buwan na rin ang nakaraan. Saglit lang iyon kung tutuusin pero mahirap ng lumimot. Kailangan matapos na talaga ito. Read it and weep! (Just kidding!)

IR Building (Close View)

Third year, for some, is the happiest part of high school. For me and my friends, this is definitely true. Junior life is the best! Lahat ng masasayang bagay that you never ever thought na mangyayari, sa buhay junior magaganap.

Sonnet 18

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair some time declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grows’t:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

by William Shakespeare

The fair youth being addressed in this sonnet ay parang third year life. If ever pagbibigyan akong muli, nais kong bumalik ang nakaraan and be that junior student once again na halos ayaw nang umuwi sa bahay just to spend a whole day with his friends. Masayang alaala ang napapaloob sa nakaraan na ito. Kahit gaano kahirap ang mga projects sa school o kahit anong problema ang aming harapin, nagagawa pa rin naming magkatuwaan, all of us. Everything seemed so perfect. No, everything for sure was perfect back then…

**To be continued**

Zoomed Out: Life in a Wider Perspective

I think I’m starting to like College Life…
It may not be like before…
But I think I’m getting used to it…

However, sometimes…
I get to thinking…
Do they still think of me?
Or is it just me who’s thinking of them?

Nah…
I guess it’s better to just forget about it…
I have more important things to focus on…

I’m fine…
A bit finer than before…
I guess…

Why?

Because from now on…

Things go a bit more easier…
Kind of…

More Mathematics… (College Algebra, Trigonometry, Electronics)
More English-oriented subjects… (Study and Thinking Skills)
More Science… (General Chemistry)
More Fun… (Physical Education and Engineering Drawing)

I also met new friends…
And befriended old ones…
I have more money to spend…
I can eat more delicious foods…
And one more thing…
There are a lot more cuter girls in our campus…

A lot of good stuffs I guess…

Surely, things go my way from now on…

However…
Some things never change…
Things we’re all familiar with…
Problems…

—If the majority of the fifth year students of BSECE studying in our university wouldn’t pass the upcoming board exam for the third time, the BSECE course will be abolished from our university…
And that will affect my studies a lot…

—Boredom still haunts me sometimes… (Pasig Community Life)

—And even until now, I’m still missing them… Each and every one of them…

Life is truly vast…
I have seen nothing yet…

Life is truly wide…
Wide enough for me to explore…

It’s easy to lose yourself…
Better tighten my grip and keep holding on…

The 25th Spring

All the used-to-be’s would never disappear and these would be with me until the day I die.
Alam kong maraming magbabago.
Kahit na.
Wala akong pakialam!

This day would be the mark of a new beginning.

I just got a whole new set of pen, each with a purpose.
I still have many things to write.
New people to meet…
More wonderful things to experience…

Hindi pa dito nagtatapos ang buhay.

I just received a whole new package of paper, each sheet for a reason.
I still have a lot of things to do.
New stories to tell…
And a much longer road to walk on to…

To everyone…

The west wind doth blow.

Digging Out the Memories

Who would have thought that the silly things I once did in the past can sometimes be useful in the future?
Hindi ko maalala ang kabuuan ng mga pangyayari though only three years had passed.
Siguro nga matagal na panahon na ang three years, it may even seem like a lifetime pa nga.

Back to my first year in high school, pinagawa kami ng aming Values teacher ng isang diary, isang bagay na maging hanggang ngayon ay iniisip kong kalokohan lang, just pure childish nonsense. Kamakailan lang ng huli ko itong mabasa. Hindi ko lubos akalain na minsan pa lang nangyari ang mga nakasulat doon dati.

Anyway, these are some of the entries I found on that diary (in choronological order):

—–

November 19, 2004

Dear Diary,

Nagkabati na kami ni Kimberly, matagal na rin kaming hindi nag-uusap. Sana hindi na kami muling magkagalit ngunit naninibago ako sa kanya.

November 21, 2004

Dear Diary,

Nagreview ako sa Math dahil malapit na ang Quizbee, naghahanda rin ako para sa kinabukasan. Pagkatapos nito, maglalaro na lang ako.

November 25, 2004

Pagkatapos ng lunchbreak namin ay pumunta kami sa Gym para sa Linggo ng mga Aklat. Pagkatapos noon ay nag-uwian na. Naglakad lang kami nila Jym-P, Lyndon, Ma. Cristina, Marites, Mary Grace, Vanessa at Jomar pauwi. Medyo napagod ako doon dahil ang layo ng nilakad namin.

December 9, 2004

Dear Diary,

Yes! Pumasok ako sa Finals, sa Tuesday na lang ulit. Nang uwian na, namasyal kami nila Vanessa, Ma. Cristina, Divine at Jaypee sa Rainforest at naglaro sila ng badminton, hindi kasi ako marunong maglaro nito. Buti na lang, tinuruan nila ako. Gabi na kami umuwi. Pinag-usapan naming bukas ay mamamasyal uli kami.

December 10, 2004

Dear Diary,

Tulad ng napag-usapan namin, pumunta nga kami sa Rainforest pagkatapos ng uwian at ngayon kasama na namin si Jym-P. Naglaro kami sa playground ng monkey bar, sand slide, rope net at iba pa. Naglaro rin kami ng chess ni Jym-P. Nagdala rin si Divine ng camera, kaso walang film. Gabi na nga uli kami nakauwi.

December 14, 2004

Dear Diary,

Espesyal itong araw na ito sa akin. Pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko pa lang sa school, pumunta na kaagad kami sa Gym para sa Local Math Quizbee Finals. Kinakabahan talaga ako. Hindi pumasok si Cherrie Lyn kaya na-disqualified siya. Kami na lang nila Kenneth, Kristina Llorca, Vanessa, Dee Jay, Karl, Roxanne, Jan Bennett at Gracejoy ang nakapag-quizbee. Nanood muna kami sa ng laban ng Second Year tapos kami na ang sumunod. Sa kabuuan ng 10 easy, 5 average at 5 difficult questions, mababa lang ang nakuha ko. Napansin ko ang mga kaklase ko na nanonood sa amin nang patapos na ang Quizbee. 1st ako sa Category B, 2nd si Karl at 3rd si Kenneth. Sana next year, manalo ulit kami.

December 17, 2004

Dear Diary,

Half day lang kami kaya pumunta na lang kami sa tambayan namin para mamasyal at sa mga susunod na araw, wala ng pasok. Yes!

December 19, 2004

Dear Diary,

Tinatamad ako ngayon. Wala akong ibang magawa kundi maglaro ng maglaro ng PS2. Nakakaboring pala kapag wala ang iyong mga kaklase.

December 22, 2004

Dear Diary,

Sana matapos na ang bakasyon!

December 26, 2004

Dear Diary,

Lagi akong bumibisita kay Jym-P ngunit palagi siyang wala, pumunta kasi siya sa Maynila. May nabalitaan ako kagabi tungkol sa Tsunami, buti na lang nasa Pilipinas ako.

January 2, 2005

Dear Diary,

Hindi ako naglaro ngayon, nag-aral na lang ako. Hindi ko pa tapos ang Movie Report sa Filipino. Ayaw pa gumana ng Stop Button ng VCD namin kaya hindi ko maisulat ang cast. Makatulog na nga lang!

January 3, 2005

Dear Diary,

Pasukan nanaman, wala pa ring nagbago sa mga classmates ko. Ganoon pa rin, maingay at hindi gumagawa ng assignments. Hay! Mas okay na sa akin ang ganito kahit maraming projects!

January 5, 2005

Dear Diary,

Dinala ko ang lahat ng paper questionaires namin sa MTAP para sa MTAP Challenge sa January 22, Sabado. Review lang kami nila Kristina Llorca kasama si Ma’am Mercado ngayon. Yes!

January 10, 2005

Dear Diary,

Lunes nanaman! Naiinis talaga ako tuwing Lunes kasi ‘pag Monday, siksikan masyado sa pila papuntang room. Ang init! Matagal pa kaming maghihintay papasok sa room.

January 18, 2005

Dear Diary,

Kanina, nang pumasok ako, naglilinis si Jym-P nang bigla niyang pinindot ang switch ng ilaw. Biglang nagliwanag. May ilaw na! Ang tagal ring walang ilaw at ngayon lang ulit nagkaroon. Hindi kami kanina nag-English nina Kristina Llorca, Karl at Kenneth dahil in-excuse ulit kami ni Ma’am Mercado. Nagreview kami sa 3rd floor at sinabihan pa kami ni Ma’am na magreview ng magreview sa bahay palagi.

January 19, 2005

Dear Diary,

Hindi kami ngayon nag-A.P. dahil sa Math review. Sayang talaga! Tumulong pa man din ako sa report namin ngunit hindi rin ako nakapag-report. Bumili kami ni Kristina Llorca sa labas. Masaya talaga kapag wala kayong ibang gagawin sa school kundi magsaya!

January 20, 2005

Dear Diary,

Kami ay nagpraktis kanina ng pag-receive sa volleyball. Mababa lang ang nakuha ko. Si Vanessa naka-19. Si Jym-P naka-6. Ako, naka-0! Kaya niyo ‘yun!? Nakakainis talaga ngunit okay lang sa akin. Nag-math naman kami e. OK!

—End of Diary—

Sana ganoon pa rin kasaya tulad ng dati, noong nagsisimula pa lang kami. Ngayon, ibang-iba na! Hindi ko alam kung papaano ko sila kakausapin. Iba na talaga! Siguro isa iyan sa dahilan kung bakit ayaw ko pang matapos ang high school. Kapag nagkita kami matapos ang ilang taon, definitely, it will never be the same!

A Close Look To Rizal High School 4

4th Part

2nd Year- Buhay Sophomore

Matagal-tagal na rin, tapos na ang graduation. Mabuti siguro kung tapusin na muna natin ang Kwentong High School bago ako mag-post ng all new entries. Just sit back and read closely!

RJ Building (Rizal Hall)

Second year ang masasabi nating simula ng kasanayan sa high school. Maraming pangyayaring hindi malilimutan. Simula ng pagbabago. Dito simulang makikita ang positibong pagbabago sa kakayahan ng lahat ng mag-aaral at maging sa kanilang capabilities na makisalamuha sa iba.

Ang RJ at Amang Building ang dalawang building na kinasasakupan ng mga nasa ikalawang taon. Kulob kung tutuusin ang dalawang building na ito ngunit hindi natin maipagkakailang masayang manatili dito.

Amang Building

Sa kadahilanang katabi lang ng Gate ng Rizal High School ang Amang Building at tanaw na tanaw ito sa kalsada, madalas kaming manatili dito ng matagal at hinahayaan lang kami ng mga gwardiya. Masarap pumasok ng maaga sa building na ito dahil sa kakaiba nitong aura. Mayroon rin itong maluwang na space sa gitna kung saan kami madalas maglaro ng badminton, dodgeball o volleyball at mag-practice para sa aming mga book presentations. Speaking of which, marami rin kaming hindi malilimutang mga sandali noong second year at ilan na lang sa mga ito ay ang masasayang book presentations, chorale interpretations at dance drama.

Ilan sa mga hindi malilimutang presentations na ito ay ang mga sumusunod:

Shakespearean Plays (Book Presentations) -2nd Grading

Romeo and Juliet – Talents Inc. (Talents.com)
The Tempest – Pentels
A Midsummer Night’s Dream – A capella
King Lear – (I can’t remember the group name)
(And another presentation…)

The Grease (Musical Presentation) -4th Grading

Character’s Parade

I’ve Never Been to Me (Dance Drama Presentation)

Trees (Chorale Interpretation)

Kung tutuusin, sa English subject napapaloob ang lahat ng ito. But these are truly unforgettable.

Other than these presentations, sa second year ko unang nakilala ang ilan sa mga taong hindi ko inakalang magiging kaklase ko pala the next year. Expect the unexpected nga talaga!

The Fireflies’ Farewell to the Sky…

Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes.
It is a never-ending cycle.
It is a general truth.
It is not just my opinion.

“We have all been through it. The long hard weeks of unrelenting study, sometimes through entire nights, boosted by the false power of caffeine. An endless punishing, soul sapping pace.”

-Freddie Chong

April 5, 2008
Saturday

It seemed like I was playing the piano. I can hear soothing sounds coming far behind the keys I press. First it was lively. Just then, it became serious. Afterwards, I just found out, that the melody of the harmonious sounds I hear was then too sad for me to understand.

It seemed like I was beating the drums. Every beat made the crowd shout with overflowing joy. Just then, silence was the only thing I hear. I kept on playing, but the solid sounds from the drum couldn’t break the silence anymore. It just couldn’t and I don’t know why.

It seemed like I was blowing the trumpet. How remarkable I played caught everyone’s attention. The tune was very playful I can’t forget it. Just then, the trumpet couldn’t produce a single sound anymore. I blew it as hard as I can. Still, there was no sound coming out and I still don’t know why.

It seemed like I was playing the flute. The peaceful and pleasant piece I played reminded me of something I would never forget. Just then, the flute broke into smithereens and I don’t want to know why.

It seemed like I was playing the violin. How passionate I played it made time stood still. But then, I stroke the string too hard. It messed up the piece I’m playing. I just don’t get it. I am always messing things up.

It seemed like I was singing a song. Everyone listened. And then, they sang along with me. Alas! I never made a single mistake or so I’ve thought. They’ve changed the words. I couldn’t keep up with them. I stopped singing.

The playing of the piano and the beating of the drum are like the good and bad times we had, everything we’ve been through. The blowing of the trumpet is like the fun and games we’ve shared and all of the laughters. After playing, we would sit down the grass and talk for a while. It is like the playing of the flute. After the games and all the talking, we would go home and do our projects and assignments in school. Well, some do. The sleepless nights are like the stroking of the violin. The singing of the song is the changes that took place, everything had changed so suddenly. Time can do almost anything.

But hey! It was just my imagination. Just like what I always say; perhaps I’m wrong, maybe I’m not.

On the night of our farewell party, shooting stars can be seen on the sky. What a pleasant sight! I can’t help but think maybe it means something. After a few days, or weeks, or months, or even years, we’ll see each other again. How would they react if they see me? I’m sure it would have been different. But I don’t mind! Things just go the way they should be. I won’t say goodbye. Until we meet again… So long!

A Sling to the Silver Moon

I have never thought of tomorrow…
For tomorrow’s just a day…
Pretty soon that’s where I’ll be…
For sure…

I have waited for something better…
Just then, I realized…
That thing I kept on waiting for isn’t good at all…
And that it will never come…

Maaaring ito na ang maging huling beses na babanggitin ko ang mga bagay na ito…
Dahil ako mismo’y sawa na sa pagbabanggit sa mga problemang ito…

Katatapos pa lang ng graduation ng Batch A this morning and so as ng Batch B…
Nakakapagod pa lang gumising ng maaga and mag-attend sa mga ganitong bagay…
Akala ko’y masaya kapag ganoon…
Hindi pala…

Everytime na aakyat ako sa stage…
I feel small…
Honor student nga raw ako…
May special rights pa nga kami…
Oo’t marami akong natanggap na compliments…
Pero patuloy itong nagpapaalala sa akin ng mga bagay na hindi ko nagawa…
Nakakalungkot…

Ito’y hindi lang dahil sa nakakapagod umakyat ng stage…
Hindi lang dahil sa magtatapos na ang buhay ko bilang isang high school student…
Hindi lang dahil nakakahiya…
Maaaring higit pa doon…

I’m very tired…
I want to sleep…
To recover my strength…
But I can’t…

After the sleepless nights…
And the endless race with the ceaseless flow of time…
That made me weak each day…
I just can’t sleep…

Everytime I close my eyes…
I feel sad…
I can feel something I had felt before…
Certain things I don’t want to feel…
Nor see…
Nor hear…
Nor speak of…
Nor remember…

Tama pala ako…
Walang masayang pagtatapos…
Matagal na akong naniniwala roon…
Pero patuloy akong umaasang hindi magiging malungkot ang pagtatapos na ito…
Pero ganoon talaga…

Tapos na ang masasayang araw…
Bye na kay Rizal High…
Bye na sa mga klasmeyts ko…
Bye na sa mga teachers…
Bye na sa lahat…

Pero alam mo?
Napakaganda ng pangyayari kanina…
‘Yung saglit na iyon…
Kung kailan bumabagsak ang mga dahon ng mga puno sa labas ng RHS Gymnasium…
Walang spring sa Pilipinas…
Pero spring ang lagay ng mga puno…

Pero alam mo rin ba?
Kapag pagmamasdan mo ring mabuti ang mga bumabagsak na dahon…
Minsan mapagkakamalan mong autumn na…
Muli, walang autumn sa Pilipinas…
Pero parang autumn ang lagay ng mga puno…

This time…
Siguro…
Wala ng crossroads…
Wala ng aasa…
Wala ng maghihintay…
At higit sa lahat…
Wala ng drama…

Cheer up!
Naturingang graduation…
Ang lungkot ko…
I should save my tears sa mas mahalagang bagay…

‘Yun lang!

Multicolored

“I’m dreeeeeeaaaaaaaaamiiing in the twiiiiiilight
Of the haaaappy days gone by…
The haaaaappy hours oof schoooools days
Are endiing heere today…”

Nice…
Napakasad ng song…

Hindi siya sad dahil maganda ang lyrics…
O dahil naaalala ko ang happy hours of school days (as the lyrics suggest)
Or whatsoever….

Kung ganoon…Bakit sad!?
Maybe because it reminds me of of my childhood years… (More of when I was still a baby…LOL)
Para kasing lullaby…
Inaantok ako…

zzzZZZZ…..

Naaalala ko ang mga nabanggit ko dati…
Ngayong march…
Everyday akong papasok…
Kahit walang pasok…
Kailangan mag-enjoy…

Pero pa’no?
Wala namang magawa sa school…
Walang matinong kausap…
Lahat sila may kanya-kanyang ginagawa…

Hatiin natin sila sa iba’t ibang grupo…

The majority…
Nagbabahay-bahay…
Manonood ng movies…
I mean, movie marathon…

May iba…
Nasa art gallery…
Still, may mga artworks pa ring ginagawa…
Yata lang ha…
Hindi ako sure…
Basta nasa art gallery sila…

Ang iba…
Kapag may praktis lang present…
Laging wala…
Nakikisama na nga sila sa amin…
Halata!

May lima naman…
Iba ang trip…
Ewan…
Wala na akong alam sa kanila…
Next please…

May dalawa…
Hindi ko rin alam…
Ganoon yata ang nais nilang gawin para mag-enjoy sa mga nalalabing araw…
Dati…
Lagi namin silang kasama…
Pero ngayon…
Magpapaiwan sa room…
Basta…
No comment na nga lang…

May dalawa naman…
Pumapasok sa school…
Tapos uuwi na kaagad…
Kasi wala naman kaming magawa sa school e…
Madalas nangongolekta na lang ng mga universities na pwedeng pasukan…

May isa naman…
Pinagtulungan noong lima sa open forum…
Madalas nagsosolo flight…
Mag-isang inaalala ang buhay junior…
Hay…
Gusto ko nga sanang maki-join e….

May isa ulit…
Hindi siya estudyante…
Basta sabi niya…
Move on…
Hiwa-hiwalay na rin naman kami pagdating ng college…

Move on…
Move on…
MOVE ON…
MOVE ON!
MOVE ON!!
MOVE ON!!!
MOOOOOOOOOVE OOOOOOOOON!
Umaalingawngaw sa utak ko ang dalawang salitang ‘yan…
Paulit-ulit…

Ganyan kasaya ang buhay senior (bilang isang IV-4 student)…
Kapag napasailalim ka na ng graduation song…
Stick to the status quo…
Wala kang choice…
Tanggapin mo na lang…
And move on…

Makulay ang buhay…
Pero hindi lahat ng kulay, mapusyaw…
Minsan, madilim…

Pero ang tao’y parang isang pintor…
Tayo ang nagbibigay ng kulay sa buhay…
Pero tanging sa buhay lang natin…

Wala sa ating kamay ang kulay ng buhay ng iba…
Nasa kanila…
Pero minsan, maaari kang makahawa…

Ikaw?
Kapag isa kang pintor…
Ano ang kulay ng buhay mo?
Paano mo ito kukulayan?

Ako!?
Gusto ko sana technicolor…
Para masaya…

“Trees in autumnal technicolor of crimson and gold turned suddenly white after a storm.”
