Entablado

Kakagaling ko lang sa Ateneo para suportahan ang aking kaibigan. Pinanood ko yung unang pagtatanghal ng Entablado ngayon taon na pinangalan nilang Mutya. Dalawang play to na pinakamamahal daw nila kasi marami daw ang gusto mapanood ito ulit kahit 9 years ago pa nila unang itananghal yung mga play na yun. At di naman ako nagulat kung bakit nagustuhan ng tao yun. Sobrang nakakatawa at nakakaaliw yung dalawang play. Ang ganda ng kwento pati yung mga linya. Napakagaling ng mga nagsiganap, ang galing nila magbato ng mga salita pati na ang mga bitaw ng kanilang punchline. Sobra talaga akong natuwa ngayong gabi. Pero sa kabilang dako na-miss ko tuloy magtanghal din sa ibabaw ng stage.

Naaalala ko pa nung highschool kami laging mayroong sabayang-bigkas. Lagi yun. Kada Filipino week at English week. It was a competition between sections sa isang grade level. Aside from that meron pa kami declamation. Ang elimination sa classroom, tapos pipili yung teacher ng pinakamagaling na ilalaban sa ibang section. Tapos nakasali din ako sa isang team na lalaban ng sabayang-bigkas sa ibang school. Member din ako ng choir noon tapos laban kami sa contest - Voices in Harmony ata yun at sa concerts with other choirs. Nakakamiss lang yung ganun. Yung mga practice. Yung mga drama. Yung pagod. Yung bonding. At syempre, yung tagumpay.

Tsaka iba rin kasi yung nasa entablado ka. May certain kaba at excitement na naghahalo sa loob mo. Parang overload ng emotions. Nakakawindang pero parang nakakaadik kapag paulit ulit mo nang gagawin. Hahanap-hanapin mo talaga. Siguro pede mo siyang ihambing dun sa nararamdaman ng mga runners pag tumatakbo sila - yung runners' high. Grabe namiss kong magperform sa stage. Kaya natutuwa ako sa kaibigan ko. Kahit na pinagsasabay ang pagtrabaho at pag-aaral, nagagawa pa rin makapaglaan ng oras sa bagay ng gusto niyang gawin. Siguro ang makakaya ko rin yun balang-araw. Pero sa ngayon, ang entablado lang ng buhay ang pagtatanghalan ko.

The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers: 1) "You don't know. You feel . Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes." 2) " I just felt it . Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other . I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko." 3) "Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.: 4) " Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point . He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified." 5) " I just knew somehow .Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago." 6) "Sig...

Before Coming Out

Lately, I've been thinking of coming out. It's like I want to free of myself of the burden of keeping my identity a secret. But before I come out, I just have some personal conditions I need to accomplish first. I won't be doing these things just to earn people's approval on my lifestyle but more for me being comfortable in the path I've chosen to live.

A Walk to Equanimity Spa

I was just feeling really tired that day. There was all sort of stress that came my way that week - coming from deadlines from school and from the chaos in the family. All I want was just to have a relaxing massage since it has been a week since my last one. It was just fitting to reward myself with a good old rub down to ease tension from my body and my mind. So that night, I decided that I would get a massage no matter what. The bus I rode from school dropped me off at Kamuning Road. I decided not to go to my suking massage place because the new attendants there were young and very much inexperienced, as far as massage technique is concerned. That night I wanted quality massage really worth paying money for. In Kamuning, I remember passing-by a number of spa before. So I walked the street from EDSA to scout the area and look for a good massage place. The first spa that I passed-by had a black brand (which name I could not remember). It seemed nice but the feeling I had made me w...
