Seq. 14

INT.Lumang bahay, malapit sa Marikina river.

BABAE: Nu’ng makiusap akong umalis ka sa buhay ko, ang ibig kong sabihin ay mawala ka sa lahat ng aspeto. Sa lahat.

Yuyuko. Mahuhulog at gugulong ang kausap na garapon ng buhay, na ilang oras lamang ang nakalipas ay pumipintig sa loob ng kanyang katawan.

Ang Oportunidad, Ang Oportunista, At Ang Kumadrona

Kalansing, kalansing

Sa kabilang dingding

‘Di wari ang nangyayari

Sa sariling nabingi

Suklob ng takot at panganib

Anuman ang kahinatnan

Iatras o ituloy man

Saksing langit ang kalaban

Walang salitang mabibitawan

Kimkimin ang galit sa katawan

Dal’hin hanggang huli

Ang sakit na kawili-wili

Kalansing, kalansing

Sa kabilang dingding

Pulang agos ng dagat

‘Di pinansin ang alat

Walang makababatid

Sa damdaming namanhid

‘Pagkat bunga’y pintig

Na unti-unting napatid

Sa oportunistang lumuha

Oportunidad ay nawala

Ba’t ‘di ipakita sa madla

Ang ‘yong tunay na mukha

Excerpts from a play that is still being conceived.

Irony

I’ve learned awful things, yet I found myself loving her more.

Love equals stupidity. Gah.

Blinded

There are certain things that make a man weak. These things hinder him to see the real things.

It was really good to be able to see again. Things are still a bit blurry, but somehow a bigger picture was painted.

The truth was in front of me all along.

It’s sad, nay painful, but everyone’s thoughts about it were true. Yes, even the closest ones. And I mean everyone.

(If it’s not Christmas, I will insert a devil’s smile here.)

We’ll get there.

We will.

Just wait.

Dear Santa

Please let me sleep this Christmas.

Or bring her back.

Even in my dreams. Or not.

Love,

Bugoy

To The One Who Taught Me How To Jump To My Song

No one sings like you do. Wish I could go back to the time when we were all alone and singing like there’s no tomorrow. Just the two of us.

Damn.

Sana’y matapos na, ‘di makapag-umpisa.:-|
