On My 27th

On My 27th

Oh, how fast time flies
Today marks another year
In this planet

As I contemplate
How was my 27th
I have no answer

I went with the flow
No specific agenda
As long I'm happy

Fell in-love with life again
Journey to a better place
When one I'm at peace

On Semi Cool Off

I love you both equally. You guys are my motivation to get up each day. I always look forward to spending my time with you guys after work. It disappoints when something comes up and my time is consumed elsewhere rather having quality time you guys. So disappointed that I get guilty and feel that I need to make it up to you guys.

But I have to face reality. There are days when I have to call a rain check. Days wherein family, work and health interferes. I thought I had enough passion and energy to do the things that I enjoy and love. Yet, it is unfair for you if pagsabay ko kayo like what I am currently doing. One way or another schedules would overlap. My body cannot take it. Ultimately, I would not be able to perform as I expect from myself.

I need to make a decision. It is a tough one but I guess it is for the best. So... would it be okay if semi cool off muna tayo for two months? Semi cool off meaning that I will prioritize my first love for now. Sana okay lang at hindi ka magtampo. :/ I hope you would still accept me with arms wide open when I come back.

Kthnxbye.

On Monday Blues

Boo-hoo. Tomorrow is another Monday, which only means one thing -- back to regular programming. :|

Then again, how things will turn out pretty much depends on my actions. Monday is just another day. Another period in time which will eventually be over. Time passing does not have to be stressful, mysterious or whatsoever.

As Monday approaches it calls on me to make a decision, then goes on. It is the indecision that allows me to wake up one morning wondering what, when, where, who, why and how will Monday turn out.

Let's get it on!

On "Manly" Ambition

Bunso has been dropping hints on getting a long board for the longest time. Here is his latest attempt.

Bunso: Sayang naman ang , ano pa ang ginagawa nila.
Mom: Naku, hospital ang abot mo yan.
Bunso: Okay, gloves at helmet nalang para safety first.
Mom: Bike nalang.
Me: Ako, gusto ko ng bike. Gusto ko masubok mag-triathlon.
Mom: Ano ba yan, ang boyish ng pangarap mo.

Is finishing a triathlon a manly ambition? :(

On Single hood

Before I sleep I often catch myself contemplating on why am I still single. Are my standards too high? Am I looking at the right place cause maybe the One is just right there?

Then again, I don't think my standards are THAT high. Is someone with a decent occupation, pleasing values, good relationship with the Ultimate and great physique too much to ask for? Am I too serious? Okay, the last criteria may be negated – in short husband material.

On the other hand, maybe it is not the One, maybe it is Me. Me who is too preoccupied with work, basketball, ultimate, family and friends. Me who is not pleasing enough to catch someone's heart or even one's attention. Cause if the One is really out there then the chance should have presented itself by now.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with my current situation. It is just there are instances when I feel alone. Case in point when mom told me, “Mag-bf ka na nga.”. But why should I rush? I believe I deserve the best the Ultimate has to offer so why would I settle for someone less than the best.

* Pero sana dumating ka na please para maging mas-happy.

On Perspective

In basketball, coach mentioned that I should take more attempts especially when I am free. I was open after the first pass and my teammate shouted "shot", so I took the attempt. Two more attempts from a play and an quickie sideline inbound. I also had another one from a looper from behind the backboard. Too bad for me and all of those tries did not go in. Thus, I am now tagged as "bwakaw" by some. On the other hand, if all those went in, even if it was a circus attempt then WOW, good basket!

Coach believes that I can make those baskets so I will play my role. Despite all those side comments, I will continue to take those attempts. If I don't take the risk then how would I know if my attempt will go in or not. It is better to take those attempts rather commit turnover. Of course, I need to work on my shooting. Oh well, towel, natatawa nalang ako. :))

Mga Palusot sa Scrabble

Played scrabble with my family. Even if my tandem did not reach 200 points and the other tandem kicked our butts, it was definitely priceless. Babawi kami! :))

On Love

No one
falls in love by choice,
it is by CHANCE.

No one
stays in love by chance,
it is by WORK.

And no one
falls out of love by chance,
it is by CHOICE.

The knowledge that we belong to the same group did not prevent my heart from skipping a beat when I saw you at the "farewell dinner". The smile that playfully appeared on your face as you extended your right hand as you said, "Hi, I'm *insert name* ... made me giggle. The soft brush of your lips to my cheek made me tingle. And as I walked away I felt electricity transmit into my whole body.
----
This happens each time I see you. Shallow as it may sound, you do something to me that I can't explain. Open your eyes, mind and heart because I need you to look into mine.

On Sleepy

Eyes slowly closing
Siesta you are so tempting
How i wish I can

My body clock is whacked!

On RAG-B

To play and have fun
Such a wonderful feeling
I missed you RAG-B!

It feels good to play
When there is encouragement
From every teammate

TO or what may
Accept whatever happens
No blaming occurs

No hot angry heads
Only heads looking ahead
Also held up high

Pressure is lighter
Game is steady and relaxed
Confidence emits

We may be smaller
But heart is always present
There's no backing down

Untitled

I am so so tired
Don't know where to place myself
Relax or uptight?

Pagod na ako
Di alam san lulugar
Luwag o higpit?

Ultimate Frisbee,
You think I really love you?
Oh yes, yes I do!

Err, but as they say....
Oh easy come, easy go.
Please don't let me down...

On Trying to Overcome $+|2355

Vision is blurry
Things seem to move on it's own
What is the cause?

Is this due to stress?
But, what is stress anyway?
Is this real or fake?

Fatigue over work
I miss my A.I.D.S. petiks ways
Vacation calls me

Afraid to get hurt
Survival instincts kicks in
Either fight or flight.

Things I can't control
Worrying for no reason
Am I an addict?

No-no to breakdown
Why stress when I can enjoy?
Mind over matter

Oh, stress relievers
Ultimate plus basketball
Yey, work-life balance!

Please do your magic
Cause so-called stress is winning
Go fight fight! Aja!
