I just want to share the most heart-breaking report I wrote and produced in my 5 months in TV. No words could every retell this tragedy.

I so LOVE this band singer Cathy Go! Performs at Chic Boy Timog on Saturdays. Impressive.

Someone asked me what I've learned so far about leaving

Sat, 26 Nov 2011 00:53:42 -0500

That in leaving…you get caught flat in between two pressures: letting go of the certainties of the past and conquering the uncertainties of the future. Overcoming both is a daunting task. But it could just be your tipping point.

Infatuation.

Ang totoong kaibigan, kayang sabihin sa mukha mo ang mga bagay na ayaw mong marinig—kadalasan ang masasaklap na reyalidad ng buhay.

“Hindi ka niya minahal.” Ito ang deretsahang sinabi ng matalik kong kaibigan.

“Naaliw lang siya sa ‘yo.”

Sikat daw kasi ako sa mundong ginagalawan namin noong kolehiyo (hindi ako ang may sabi nito). Editor ng university publication, kilalang leader ng aming youth organization, singer. Pero sa kabila nito, misteryoso at madalas tawaging wirdo.

At nang dumating ang malaking pagsubok, gumuho ang imaheng ito. Nawala na ang passion ko sa mga bagay na aking pinaninindigan. Napuno. Nagtanim ng galit. Natutong uminom. Balik-simple.

Masakit isipin na sa panahong lugmok ako—kung kailan sabog ang buhay ko at kailangan ko ng karamay—doon niya ako iniwan.

At sa pagsasabing pagod na siya sa mga problema ko, nakahanap siya ng tiempo para iwan ako at ipagpalit sa iba. Masaklap.

“Ganon na nga,” walang alinlangang sagot ng kaibigan ko, “Infatuation. ‘Yun lang ang naramdaman niya sa ‘yo.”

Parang hayskul lang.

Ginago ka na’t lahat sa pag-ibig, umiyak, muntik pang magpakamatay, tapos sa huli, infatuated lang pala siya sa ‘yo. At hindi niya inamin kailanman na hindi ka naman talaga niya minahal.

Wala akong kibo. Hindi ko rin tiyak kung ano ang nararamdaman ko. Malalim ang titig ko sa kisame. Nabutas ko yata ito.

Very entertaining to watch a skillful drummer. Thinking if I could get some drum lessons, though I have to beat two odds:

1. Time. I even barely have time to sleep

2. Space. If I buy a drum set and beat it hard, our condo neighbors might beat me up, too.

Now, there’s got to be some other way.

*thinks*

Sabado: Kalye Juan, MOA, atbp.

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:27:00 -0500

I look forward to Saturdays. So for this past weekend, I went to Mall of Asia to meet a friend who’s here in Manila.

We dined at Kalye Juan.

I must say, masarap itong drink nila na tinatawag na Guinilu sa Kalye. It’s made of coconut milk, sago, and other ingredients I forgot.

Pinaputok na tilapia…

Green mango with bagoong…

At pikabet.

Masarap din.

Parang artista kung pagkaguluhan itong aso sa MOA. Ang daming nagpapicture. Ang cute kasi. Mataba at behaved.

Mataba naman ako noon at behaved pero hindi ako pinagkaguluhan ng ganito.

Gustung-gusto ko itong Levis na sapatos na sale. Kaya lang badtrip kasi wala nang mas maliit na size na swak sana sakin. Kinunan ko na lang ng litrato bilang alaala.

Sa susunod na Sabado ulit. :)

On February 15 via Coping Club I said:

I will endure all the pulling-me-back-with-a-string, because I just know after you have done enough to pull me away from my goal, you’ll get tired, and the string will launch me like a rocket.
