A message to my 18 year old self

Hi! It's Dowayne, I'm you ten years ago, so basically you are me 10 years from your time now, and I have a couple of advices/cheats to be able to help you be me. First an evidence that it's me, I know that 10 years from now you will still love the girl you love today, its May 27, 2027 today, and I cannot forget the night 10 years ago, when you have just prayed so hard for her to stay in your life, it's 12:10mn and you just finished praying exactly at 12:02mn, and I know you prayed for her, so hard, so bad that you cried. You never had the best first times with her, it's a series of serious fights not so common but enough to make her walk outside the room and go back holding a traditional bread called ensaymada and she never gave you, even a tiny piece. So  believe me now here it goes. If you saw someone so beautiful that you cannot resist her eyes, the way she smiles, how eyes vanishes into a straight line while laughing please make her your best friend, I kno...

Basta

Magpaparaya ako, basta ba, sabihin mo sa'kin na hindi mo ako gusto, na hindi ako ang ibig ng puso at pangarap na matanaw mo, papayag naman ako seryoso ito'y bukal sa loob ko, basta sabihin mo na alam mo ang daang tatahakin mo 'di ako hahadlang, suportado kita. Basta titiyakin mo lang na iingatan ka niya, hindi tulad ng pag-ibig niya sa kanyang mga sapatos, hindi ka susuotin minsanan at ipapangdiskarte lang sa lansangan, hindi ka pampasikat lang na dadalihin sa harap ng kaibigan dahil ikaw ay pag-aari na niya. Ituring ka niya bilang kanyang mga paa, unang papakiramdaman sa umaga, bilang bahagi na magtutungo sakanya sa kabutihan, na kung wala ka, wala siyang mapupuntahan. Basta iintindihin ka niya pag marami kang gawain, walang magiging problema. Hindi ka isang traffic enforcer na hihinto siya dahil takot siya sa'iyo, hindi lang dahil babait siya pag nakikita mo, hindi dahil alam niyang may parusa kaya iiwas na gumawa ng labag 'to, na dahil alam niya na ikakagal...

Read and write

Before we can actually read, we first had to learn how to write. Write first our names perhaps, follow the blue-red-blue lines on a standard composition notebook for you to distinguish where to write a lower case letter and an upper case letter, the lines we're there to guide you properly upon learning how to write. When we we're older we started practicing it, on walls, subtracting on our hands, on every wooden desktop on almost everywhere, which reminds us that every blank space is a plain medium of memory that awaits colors, lines, alterations, double strokes and unending subtraction processes for it to come to life. We we're also told that reading came after writing, that you we're able to write your name before you could actually read it. Because when we we're kids, pretending to read our names is pointing to what ever character we are to see, and simply stating our names. Which brings me to my question of is writing necessary for reading? When I was li...

Metaphors of love

Who here believes in Forever? I know it's cliche, but love is. Who believes in promises? Who believes that people who tell us these things are people who loves us so much. People who sees us more than just ordinary people but treasures.  Who here believes, ironically that promises are meant to be broken? That when these people, most of the time breaks their word, we suffer from  terrible events of suffering that when the moment they turn their backs out from us they go along with their unfulfilled promises with our hearts. Irritatingly disconnecting every vein and artery from us resulting to heart failure that might lead to the agony of the soul and/or the physical body and worst, death. Emotionally, Mentally, Physically. Me, I believe that from the moment I saw you, I started to believe the unbelievable, believed in forever, that I can be someone worth loving, someone that would take good care to such a wonderful woman like you, like give you the moon and the stars, I'll g...

Beep beep

Nasanay akong habulin ang bawat pisong sukli, alam ko na otso at limampung sentimo sa unang pagwagayway mo ng para sa mamang tsuper at piso sa bawat susunod na kilometrong lalakbayin niyo, bilang ko ang dalawang kilometro at dalawang metrong layo ng Tandang Sora galing Philcoa at alam ko pag lalagpas na. Nakikipag talo ako, tuwing sabado at alam kong sa Paaralan ang takbo ko sa dalawampung porsyentong diskwento sa pamasahe, dala ko lagi ang Identification Card ko, Estudyante ako, karapatan ko ang bawat pisong sukli na dapat nasa bulsa ko. Makikipag patayan ako sa kahit piso, basta alam kong dapat may sukli ako. Nakikipagtalo ako. Kahit malaki ang tyansa na sa pagbaba ko, ay bilisan mo ang takbo at tumilapon ako sa kalye, o sa susunod na mamukaan mo ako ay hindi na pasakayin hindi na bale, ang sa'kin ay sa'kin. Pero hindi sa'yo. Iba ang biyaheng tinuro mo, malayo ang landas na tatahakin nito, ibang karanasan ang hahamakin ng pagsakay ko sa'yo. Hindi lang na dapat alam ...

If you will ever leave me

If you ever have any plans of leaving me, can you please consider some little things I want to have before, on or after that day comes. These will be the last things I want. If you will ever walk away from my life, do me a favor. Please walk a little bit faster, or run if you can, coz' I can't  promise not to beg, I cannot promise not to follow you, I will. I will always do. So please do it faster, or if possible, ride a bus, a public utility jeepney, a bicycle, a horse, a unicorn, a dragon, a ferrari or lamborghini, I don't care! just please be fast so I won't keep up. So I will lose track of your face, of your warm embrace, of your smiles of our total travelled miles. Please make it faster than usual. If you ever turn your head away from me, be certain. Never ever look back again. Do not show me your eyes, I don't want to see you looking at me at one final glance, I don't want to see your face, I cannot remember your emotions, for it will only make it so h...
