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. It 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
