It seems like there is no escaping it. Sigh.
Even my escape world (which no longer deserves to be called as such) had been infiltered by it. As much as I want to; I can not reality-proof it, because it is made up of real people. They are not sims characters so I could not manipulate their lives, naturally they are bound to encounter problems because they all have real lives. And so they affect my escape world. At least there is still gossip girl, i mean, forums about gossip girl.
I genuinely wish I could solve their problems. I recently realized I'm better at solving other people's concern than my own. But I barely know this people and I don't really want to intrude, except that I sort of promised someone that I would solve it. My exact words are: sabihin mo lang, susolusyunan ko. What prompted me to say that, I would never understand. He was terribly bothered by the complications that the main issue had spawned, he already has all sort of probplems as it is; maybe I want to lighten his load. So far, on my attempt to be super problem-solver; all I have done are to create a multiply account, post a comment and text the person involve in the main issue, subtly hinting to reconsider his decision. I am not doing a very good job.
What I need to do is to convince the others to just choose the easier mountain. Atleast, we would no longer have to worry about safety (which i think is someone's main concern; which in turn makes me feel a bit guilty because I know I'm the least physically coordinated among the group), but could still have all the escape that the mountains have to offer. Save the bigger adventures for when the group is more, umm... whole. If it can ever be whole again. The thing is I don't have the guts to say that, since I don't think I have the right to tell them what to do. Or I could risk proving that I am such a princess, I just have to get what I want. They would probably give in. I know they would give in because they know I get special treatment form someone that I am not suppose to have in the first place. Which makes me guilty all the more. Argh... escape worlds should be drama free!!!
I just want 2 stress-free days on the mountains, among the trees and under the great blue sky. Be awe-struck by the view and feel incredibly small. I just want to get away form the city, from reality, from me.

Para kay Rozza
Ikaw at Iyong mga Awit/ Ikaw ang Awit
Lagi mong yakap ang gitara at pinupuno ang bahay ng musika.
Hindi ka na nagkukuwento puwera sa gitarang hingahan ng sikreto.
Pag-ibig ang sinasambit ng awit at nagulat ako na may alam ka dito.
Pag-ibig
-taksil ang salita.
balot ng pait
ang melodiyang
nagpangako ng tamis.
Ngayong ikaw ay natutulog
At walang muwang pinanood,
may luhang nakaalpas sa iyong mata.
Batid kong ikaw mismo gustong makawala.
Palihim mong binubuksan ang tarangkahan
Ng bakuran ng iyong kainosentehan.
Balak mong hanapin ang mundo kung saan
Ang mga awitin ay walang katapusan.
Nagaalangan ako
kung dapat ba akong magtayo ng tore
sa paligid mo at panain
ang sinumang mangangahas
sumakop sa iyo.
o hayaan kang lumaboy
sa siyudad kung saan
ang magnanakaw at bayani
ay magkatabi sa daan.
Kung saan ang pag-ibig
Ay sa awit lang matatagpuan.
Takot ako na maligaw ka sa pasikot-sikot.
At di matagpuan ang mundong inaasam.
pero mas natatakot akong ‘di na marinig ang mga awit mo.

Dear Jona
Mabuhay! (channeling kirai here)
Welcome back sa pinakamaganda, pinakamasaya at pinakanakakalokang bansa sa buong mundo! I'm glad you got back safe and sound. JR told me na gusto ka munang solohin ng family mo and I totally understand, I know how much they missed you. But I miss you too and since I can't see you, I'm gonna resort back to my highschool ways and write you a letter! yey!
First of all, put your right hand on your left shoulder, then your left hand on your right shoulder and give your self a big hug!(sana hinug mo talaga yung sarili mo kasi sayang naman ang effort ko). HUG!
So how are you? Tumaba ka na ba? Ako kasi tumaba na. Nacoconfuse nga yung utak ko tuwing tumitingin ako sa salamin eh. Si Kirai, normal ang katawan. Healthy looking na sya. Pero syempre feeling nya mataba pa rin sya kahit mas malaki na yung braso ko kaysa sa kanya. I don't know kung tumaba si Bheng. She looks ok. I don't think mukhang busog yung tyan nya. Si JP? I have no idea. Hindi ko pinagtutuunan ng pansin ang katawan nya. I'm guessing better than when he was sick.
Oh my gosh, nakwento ko na ba sayo? Nanlibre si JP ng sine! Nanood kami ng Twillight. Kasama namin si Kat and one of their 1st year classmates. Tapos kasama ko si Rozza. Medyo kasi nag-worry tungkol sa job nya, gumana kasi ang pag ka sarcastic, ayun nanlibre. Nakwento ko na ata to eh, pero ok lang. Parang mga feature stories lang tuwing All Saint's day, paulit-ulit every year. JP talaga, very ghostly.
Nag-exchange gifts kami nung christmas! Ang theme namin: Something Nakaw. This is how it started: Bheng and I were chatting over ym. Sabi nya she wants to do something for christmas, kahit simple lang. So yun, exchange gifts tapos she jokingly suggested na something nakaw; nag-game ako tapos kami na rin nagdecide kung pano yung flow. Yna -> Kirai -> JP -> Bheng. Hindi kasama si Joma kasi as usual missing in action sya. Si JP, kj, gift nya kay Bheng yung book ni Atalia; binili nya sa powerbooks. Bheng gave me a her officemate's Lipton Tea coaster. Dpat daw kasama yung cup kaso may laman, alangan naman maghugas pa sya. I gave Kirai a poinsettia flower na kinuha ko sa christmas tree sa isang bangko. I stole from a bank! Tapos si Kirai wala pang gift kay JP, di pa kasi sila nagkikita. Dapat magkikita-kita kami sa reunion ng ca7, pero dahil tinamad ako at di ko macontact si Kirai di na ko pumunta. At dahil dun, nakatanggap ako ng isang mapaka-makabagbag-damdaming text mula kay JP. Ang sabi ng text, "Where the hell are you guys?" Grabe, parang narinig ko talaga si JP habang binabasa ko iyon, kaya di ko sya binura.
Pero alam mo ba ang hottest news ng christmas season? Hold onto something steady kasi tiyak na mapapatumbling ka sa balita ko. Better yet, ihanda mo na ang tumbling pose mo dahil sigurado naman na tutumbling ka. Ito na:
Si ML* may boyfriend.(name had been changed, you know who she is naman di ba?)
Yes, you read it right. BOYfriend. As in certified na boy.
Ito ang kwento. His name is Cris, sa harbour nya nakilala pero hindi na daw nagwowork dun. Nagkukulitan lang sila sa text at nagmwah-mwah sila dun. Tapos bumanat yung guy, kung in person ba daw ay ikikiss din sya ni ML at ang reply ni ML ay "why not!" Kaya ayun, one time magkasama sila sa orange jeep ay hiningi ni guy ang kiss at binigay naman ni ML. Ayun sila na.
Pero break na sila ngayon. Nakita ni ML sa friendster ni guy na interested in dating men and women ang papa nya. kaya ayun break. I guess gusto nyang gayahin si ML at itry din ang ibang options, malay natin sa susunod ineterested in dating animals naman si loko. Hay... madami talagang sinisirang relasyon ang friendster. Kaya nga binura ko na yung akin eh.
eh ikaw? Kamusta ang love life? Aktibo pa ba ang bulkan? Si JP... he had always been secretive pero have you checked out his blog lately? may something sa entry nya pero as usual walang details but there's definitely something. Bheng is living happily ever after. She is shifting careers at medyo stressful ito pero pagdating sa lovelife okey na okey sya.
And me...ahh me... I'm into DB more than ever. I know little about him, but I love everything I know about him. I like the sound of his voice. Nagbabaaon sya ng lunch sa office. He is generally polite and accomodating. He has nice shoulders.
I lost interest in him some months ago and there were a lot of drama on my part which I am going to spare you from because I don't want any proof of it. Then, I felt like someone slap me on the face. I overheard his boss setting him up on with some girl. I first thought: Woah! He is so single, his boss is actually setting him up on a date. Then I thought, what if he called her, then they went on a date. Ofcourse, she will fall for him. She cannot possibly resist his heavenly smile. Then, what if he settles and they end up together, and even have a nice life.
It would be nice. but it won't be GREAT. because it wouldn't be with me!
Girl, tama ako di ba?
And with love, we have to aspire for something great, we can't just settle for the mundane, the easy or the readily available. I wouldn't be love at all. I know its silly that I'm talking about love, but that is the biggest thing I like about him; for once, I can just be a silly girl. A simple silly girl who is not worrying about the world. Minsan kasi nakakapagod din problemahin ang mundo. Ayun.
Siblings Update!
Rozza had gone back to her capitalistic origins and had finally made peace with the fact that communism wont work with her. She loves Mcdonalds too much. May bago syang racket, customized painted shoes. For 500php, you get awesome sneakers. And JR, hay nako, si JR. Ang corny ng kapatid mo dude. Kapatid mo nga. But I try to look past that, he is a really nice kid and he misses his ate so much. All he really wants is for your family to stay together. But don't tell him I told you this, you know teenage boys, not comfortable sharing their emotions. hehe, umuwi ka lang, he'll be fine.
So there, I have already used up two leaves of notebook. I hope you enjoy your stay here. Enjoy your family, they missed you a lot. And girl, lagi kang mag-iingat dun ha! para bumalik ka sa min.
Always,
Bukopie

Chronicles of Dollar Boy: The Last Edition
Palaging May Ulan ang Pamamaalam
Palaging may ulan ang pamamaalam
Kaya binabaha ng lungkot ang lungsod
Ng pananandaliang pagsasama’t lugod.
Huwag kang lilingon at baka malusaw
Ng asin ang mithing pagbabagong-loob.
Palaging may ulan ang pamamaalam
Kaya binabaha ng lungkot ang lungsod.
Bangkay na lulutang ang panghihinayang
Ngayong nalunod na ang lahat ng pusok
At kuyom sa dibdib ang basang alabok.
Palaging may ulan ang pamamaalam
Kaya binabaha ng lungkot ang lungsod
Ng panandaliang pagsasama’t lugod.
-Michael M. Coroza
So, it's over. I just hate that this poem seems to be always speaking to me. I'm gonna miss feeling like that. And right now, I just don't know anyone who smiles at me the way he does.

The Sounds of School Spirit
I wrote this stuff a year ago...
"Natalo ang UST sa Ateneo noong Linggo. Tapos na ang season nila sa UAAP. Ang mahirap lang sa UAAP, kada taon, may manlalaro na nagpapaalam. Hindi mo alam kung mapapanood mo pa ulit sila maglaro. Makapaglaro man sila sa ibang liga, hindi mo na rin sila ganoon ka-gusto kasi hindi naman na sila naglalaro para sa unibersidad mo. Hay..."
I wrote all that because I thought Japs Cuan would be graduating that year. So, now I am feeling all that again because Japs would be graduating this year. And five other players, if you can imagine that. Arrgh... So there was no way I am going to miss their last game. I just have to watch their game live. Then I found out it was scheduled the same day as the admu-dlsu game. Shit.
As in all Ateneo-Lasalle game, tickets are rarer than gold. That's what the hype make it out but in reality, there are still a lot gen. ad available and that is good enough for me. After all, I don't need to see the players up close, I already know what they looked like.
When we entered the coliseum, it was clearly divided between two colors; green and blue. Now, something is really wrong with our democracy when there are four teams playing and the tickets were bought by just two camps. But I am not going to delve into that because they are already having a lot of mileage, like the whole country cares or something. Anyway, there they were, my UST Growling Tigers warming up. Sigh. And there was my other UAAP favorite, the UST Yellow Jackets.
I am not going to try to review the game but I am going to say this; I don't think I would ever outgrow watching a UAAP game, well a Growling Tigers game in particular. I just love this team. I think its because they keep me connected to my school and everytime I watch a game, I get to be a college kid again.
The only hard part is when players graduate. I am not against it, I just think it is sad, you get attach to them somehow and right now, it seems unthinkable to find a decent replacement for Jervy Cruz. He could possibly the best amateur player in the country. The pressure would definitely double for Mirza and Ababou. And oh my gulay, a UST without Japs. When I was in highschool, I was already a UAAP fan and Japs was already playing for the juniors team. They always show the juniors champinoship game so I was already familiar with him. Now, he played his last game for UST. He is really a good leader, the stability he brings to the team is very important and we all have to admit, he improved his free throws a great deal. Sigh. I just know, I would miss him being in the team. Heck, I still miss the Gelig-Baguio tanden.
There's one good thing about being a fan, you don't graduate from it. After all, it was never about the players, it had always been about the school spirit.

The Truth with Slippers
We went to the truth festival last Friday so expect this entry to contain only the truth and nothing but the truth.
In taking long walks, rubber slippers are very comfortable but they can give up on you. After all, we are talking about really long walks here, say, from the World Trade Center to Vito Cruz-Taft.Now, when your slipper snaps; don't panic.It helps if a friend is with you when this happens. That way, he can tell you that it will be ok. Hopefully, he knows the secret of keys. Do you know that keys are important in saving the world? Well, at the very least, they saved me from walking home bare-foot.
I won't tell you the secret of keys though, because it is something you should discover yourself. Just remember to keep keys in handy wherever you go.
**********
More truth
I am now finished with my portfolio, so all I have to do is to write my kick-ass application letter. And man, I am having trouble with it. I think I am pressuring it too much; labelling it as "kick-ass" but you know, I was never good in writing formal letters. They are, you know, formal and I don't sound like me whenever I write formal stuffs. It's like I'm faking it or something. Like I'm pretending. Arggh! I really want to write that application letter and I want it to kick-ass because I really, really want that job! I want that career. I want that life!
***********
Moving on to glass slippers
Watching Cinderella was just lovely. It is surely going to be one of my treasured memories. I was trying to watch it from a little girl's point of you. Wow. I have seen the movie version of this play but it paled compared to this. It was really good, the production design was really good and I love those songs. Sigh. And the moon during the ball, is like the most whimsical thing I have ever seen. Th face of the moon had dancing partners on it. That is such a romantic thought.
***********
And lastly, as I have discovered lately, it is difficult to tell the truth when there are a lot of things you don't want to say.
