Way Back Then…
Tuesday, August 30, 2011Another one of the notes I’ve written about him… The last one I’d probably post though.
We stared into the long stretch of ceiling above us. He talked about his family. I talked about my job. It was a series of random thoughts, a parallel of intertwined life stories, and a circuit of undefined roads… We were talking of life as it unfolds in front of us. We were holding each other’s hands and with every thought of possible hurdle, hurt, and opposition, he held tighter, I did so too. We knew they’ll eventually become realities and no matter how much we try denying them, they are out there, existing, waiting for the spotlight to hit them. The reality of it all will strike anytime soon and the hands we were clasping tightly now will slowly lose their grip. They’ll slowly, finger by finger, let go. Neither of us wanted to talk about such things. Neither wanted to state the obvious or the truth. We both didn’t want to talk about the future. We just wanted to hold each other tight and assure each other that whatever happens, we had something going on. We close our eyes, half-asleep, half-awake… Just like where we are now, half-reality, half-wishful thinking. It’s going to end anytime soon, but with our hands clasped together and our thoughts wandering towards each other, we both know that despite its inevitable end, we have already weaved a life together that only us know.
Write!
Saturday, August 6, 2011
Because I have nothing better else to do tonight, I’m going to do what I love doing most since I was a kid… Writing. Haha.
I have nothing in mind today to write about.
I have been doing the same work for one year and eight months now. This is the longest employment I’ve ever had (I’ve only had two employers though, which means there’s not much to brag about).
I have been going out with the same group of people. Yeah, I’m such a social butterfly (I hope not a negative note). Funny because with the number of friends (and acquaintances I have), I shouldn’t be feeling alone. Ever. But I still do. Sometimes.
Oh well.
Am having so many random thoughts now. I don’t know which ones are worthy to be written down.
Oh… Just to get something started. Here’s a rundown of my things to have/do before 2011 ends:
1. Ride waves. I’ve been learning how to surf for more than a year yet until now, I still need an instructor to get a wave for me. I can paddle already but heck, I still couldn’t paddle hard enough to catch a wave.
2. Explore a new province. Yeah, I’ve been travelling a lot but I noticed that I’ve been going to same old places. Before the year ends, I want to go somewhere new, whether it be in the North or South. I don’t care who I am with. I can be alone if I had no choice.
3. Read a book. I’ve been incredibly busy at work this year that I have lost my precious ME time. The last book I finished was The American Gods by Neil Gaiman. This was way back March. Gahd. What happened to me? I have always thought that books are my best friends. Oh well, I’m planning to read more Haruki Murakami and Milan Kundera books.
4. Buy an MP3 player. Yeah, I ruined my iPod nano (which is really not mine because it’s Ria’s but she lent it to me for unlimited time, meaning, technically, she gave it to me) because, due to stupidty and carelessness, I accidentally downed it into our washing machine.
5. Watch a movie on big screen. The last time I did was middle of last year. I watched my most-anticipated movie of the year, Up, with Dion (who else?). I have to see another movie this year or else I am doomed to live dependent on my Torrent-downloaded .avi’s. Haha.
6. Get a boyfriend. Ooops. Did I really say that? Haha. Enough said. I don’t want to elaborate further because my life’s so complicated now that just saying something here would imply a lot to a lot of people.
Am gonna put in more next time. :)
