(H’s cell phone ringing, R calling… no answer)

R: sorry nakatulog ako. wanna talk?

(H’s cell phone ringing, R calling… no answer)

-----------

THE MORNING AFTER

R: my parents want me to get married and have kids, i told them ill do that when im 26 :-(

H: That’s what ur parents want. What do you want?

R: i think i like the idea too… but nothing in the future is certain…

H: That’s good. Hav a gud life then. Good luck. Apparently, thers no place for me n ur future. L find a gud spot somewhere else. Thanx for letting me know.

H: i think i like the idea too… but nothing in the future is certain… - Then that’s sumthing to look forward to. A reason to b happy. M happy for u.

R: cant we just keep what we have now?

H: Ngaun palang, ideal palang nasasaktan na ako. What more after 4 years, na u hav to leave me kc nga sa gusto ng pamilya mo?

R: that answers ur question last nyt. thats whre all my anger comes from… given a choice i can freely make w/o anobody influencing me, ill choose to be a priest.

H: “that answers ur question last nyt. thats whre all my anger comes from… given a choice i can freely make w/o anobody influencing me, ill choose to be a priest.” – Then I suggest u stand up to what you u want and not what others want for u.

R: akala mo ba madali maipit sa lahat? :-( jst thinking of it makes me sad. Also, that whatever Ill deicde lagging may party na masasaktan. haayz. anyway minsan i just wanna forget whatever bounds me and jst live in the present.

H: Maikli lang ang buhay R and we must live it happily.

H: “minsan i just wanna forget whatever bounds me and jst live in the present.” – AND THATs WHAT u SHOULD BE DOING. Dnt make life so difficult. Knw what, heres what i can do… I can knock down 1 wall that binds u. At least ul hav 1 spot na open, luk at d view and enjoy d scenery. Or i cn make a window on that wall, f u don’t want me to knock it down :-)

R: am happy as i am, i can die contented. my only mission left in life is make others happy. the problem is, its an ordeal. :-(

H: “my only mission left in life is make others happy.” – WE DNT LIVE TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY. Thats the BIGGEST misconception of living. We live 2 make a full life, 1 that we’re happy of. N d process we make other’s happy, given na un. And n d same manner, f u dnt live a happy life, other’s lyf myt not become happy too.

R: am happy na nga as i am. its the other way around for me. other’s unhappiness affects me… :-
(

H: So kung nahhrapan at naiipit ka, it myt not b a happy life. U need 2 reevaluate.

R: exactly kasi nga am affected by others’ wants.

H:Ur nt Christ. U only get 1 life. Live it and make it full. No need 2 get affected by other people’s unhappiness. U dnt need 2 please anybody but ur self.

R: its false. coz bata pa ako I already feel this way. like i always tell you, i live for others. u didnt ask why i shifted to devt studies even my parents wated me to take management. nor even thought that before depression struct me, i used to be an indigenous people’s advocate… yung lang kasayahan ko.

H: Then u should do what makes you happy. Doing what makes u happy doesn’t mean u wont care for others. Hav a gud 1 today. Ingat. :-)

H: L knock 1 wall down for u para you wont feel boxed. I promise everything will be ok soon.

R: I don’t knw abt knocking downwalls like ur saying but i think i would prefer tearing it down myself. :-(

H: I am that wall. F u want to tear it down… A hammer hitting the d wall woudnt be that painful or hard anymore.

H: Kc admittedly, m d only movable wall right now.

R: :-( well i am responsible for letting u build that wall in the first place. remember i was building one when i met u. sorry I dragged you in my messy life.

H: And ur still building that wal u were building b4 i came.

H: can we be special friendsSPECIAL FRIENDS for now? I wnt to give u enough space para maayos mo kung ano dapat mong ayusin. Wag mo muna ako alalahanin. I will be fine. Ako na mismo nagta-time deposite sa sarili ko.

R: maybe. can i just keep your wall? or is it urgent u have to go and tear it down?

H: Sure. U can keep me as long as u want, as long as u need me. U will always be special to me. No need to tear down any wall. Walang magbabago. Promise.

R: naiinis ako kasi kung kelan mahal na kita, dun ako naiipit… bsta the future is malleable naman eh. we can shape it to whatever we want.

H: Wag ka mainis. Challenges cums when we’re n our strongerst state. I will always be here. Hindi ako mawawala. Thats an assurance. Pahinga ka muna.

H: I will always b here if u need me.

R: ill also be here for u.

A Little Fall of Rain... can hardly hurt me now

Sometimes, we get hurt so bad that we don't feel it anymore.

We do things beyond our capacity, mostly in the name of love, and it's amazing how we are able to do it.

We try so hard to make everything feel alright, to make all the hurt feelings just go away...





EPONINE
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.

MARIUS
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of love.

EPONINE
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me

MARIUS
You would live a hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now...

EPONINE
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last.

The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius

I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now

That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close

MARIUS(in counterpoint)
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine,
You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I'm here

I will stay with you
Till you are sleeping

EPONINE
And rain...

MARIUS
And rain...

EPONINE
Will make the flowers...

MARIUS
Will make the flowers... grow...

Li'l Bro's Promise

I promise to keep you forever in my heart as my kuya or whatever, we'll be special friends ready to help each other.

I promise to be honest to each other. Always. But not too brutally honest.

I promise to give you your lifetime supply of hugs. I'll throw in a kiss from time to time kung sale. And even if we're far apart... Just hug the air at your place, and I’ll hug in mine. And even if miles do separate us, we'll still feel each other's hug .

I promise not to leave you. But promise me that you'll keep me in the list (if not the first) to go to if you need any help, emotional or anything.

Promise me you'll keep in touch. even if we get separated by circumstances.

Savage Garden Truly Madly Deeply ASL

Tight hug, Jollibee, Harbor Square, "My Sister's Keeper", and good memories to come.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

Quotes I liked from "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult

-- "Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it."


-- "You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not"

Robert: i have no ryt to hurt u in anyway. we’re both jst as vulnerable to get hurt.

Herman: Thanx. That’s an assurance.

Quotes from Lemony Snicket's "Series of Unfortunate Events"

Sanctuary... is a word which here means a small, safe place in a troubling world. Like an oasis in a vast desert or an island in a stormy sea. (found @ 2:11 on the video below)

-----

[first lines]
Lemony Snicket: [the Littlest Elf has just come to an abrupt halt] I'm sorry to say that this is not the movie you will be watching. The movie you are about to see is extremely unpleasant. If you wish to see a film about a happy little elf, I'm sure there is still plenty of seating in theatre number two. However, if you like stories about clever and reasonably attractive orphans, suspicious fires, carnivorous leeches, Italian food and secret organizations, then stay, as I retrace each and every one of the Baudelaire children's woeful steps. My name is Lemony Snicket, and it is my sad duty to document this tale.





[last lines]
Lemony Snicket: Dear reader, there are people in the world who know no misery and woe. And they take comfort in cheerful films about twittering birds and giggling elves. There are people who know that there's always a mystery to be solved. And they take comfort in researching and writing down any important evidence. But this story is not about such people. This story is about the Baudelaires. And they are the sort of people who know that there's always something. Something to invent, something to read, something to bite, and something to do, to make a sanctuary, no matter how small. And for this reason, I am happy to say, the Baudelaires were very fortunate indeed.
