selling the drama

It’s bright and sunny today but It feels like dark & cloudy day engulfed me, as if heavy rain will pour and will drown me. How long I’ve been in this situation? I don’t know. I’m running fast but why? That’s when I knew someone’s chasing me. I don’t know who he was and I don’t know what he was. I don’t know why he’s chasing me. He’s following me everywhere. Chasing me like a mad man holding a knife. Laughing and shouting like a psychopath. I can sense the killing aura from him. Fear shiver down my spine. Blood drips from his knife. I don’t know how many times I got stubbed from behind. Blood flows thru my wounds. I have to outrun him but how? He’s as fast as me. Feels like were both running in a loop, a road with no end. My chest burn, the more I struggle the more pain I feel. I’m running out of breath, I have to stop and take a break but I can’t. I don’t know how long I’ve been running, it feels like ages. It’s getting dark already, 6 PM to be exact. I look behind me to see if he’s still chasing me. I can’t find him anywhere. Where did he go? Did I outrun him? Did the blackness of the night swallow him? Maybe, I guess. It’s so dark, that I can’t even see the road I’m walking thru. Where should I go? Am I lost? Where is this place? What is this place? I look around me and there’s no one to be found. All I can see is a feint light, flickering in the dark. I followed it. No path, no road but still I keep on walking. Where will this light lead me? As I walk into the light I saw a door, I heard voices and laughter. Somebody calls my name. Someone is hugging me. That’s when I knew. I am home. The blood that gushed thru my wounds suddenly stops.

I’ve realized.

All of these things happened inside my heart.

The dark cloudy day was my emotion.

The fear I felt was anxiety.

The running and escaping was my will to survive.

The road with no end was my struggle in life.

The stubbed I’ve receive was the problems I’ve encountered.

The door I saw was my home.

The light that guided me was my family.

And the man chasing me is ME. The ghost of ME.

tick tack tick tack

A common sound of a standard clock. Time is running so fast nowadays, and we never notice how much time we already spent in our lives. There’s a saying “time is gold” and yes it’s true. Time is very precious. We can’t turn back the time. If we miss something important or if we made mistakes in the past it’s already done. Time is already spent there. The question is how much we value our own time?

To Business Men/Women

Every second counts. Every drop of second or minutes must mean something good for the business. Transaction must be done accordingly to schedule. No delays and no hassles.

To Employees/Workers

Rushing and finishing reports, presentations and meetings to the expected schedule. Watching and staring at the time very often. Wishing it would run fast and reach the time for going home.

To Lovers/Couples

Most of them are just waiting for the right time to be wed, some waits for their anniversary.

Time, time and time again. Many of us didn’t know what time really is. Some just spent it in doing non-sense things and some spent it wisely. Some spent it for money and some letting it pass by.

How about for those who are days are numbered? For those who are dying and just waiting for their time to come? They don’t let it just pass by, actually some of them didn’t want to know what the time or the date is, they just want to spend their time happily, spend it with their love one’s, for them time is really precious.

And most importantly now is the time to take care of our World. Our so called beloved planet “Earth”. We will not just lose our time here but also our lives. If we can do something about it now is the time. Remember the clock is ticking and it won’t stop until we lose it.

Breaking The Ice


"Breaking the Ice"

Means:

  • To go beyond uncomfortable or embarrassing moment in meeting new people, by way of conversation or action.
  • Making the first step by means of communicating or making conversation in a uncomfortable situation with your family, friends and love ones.

Is it important? Does it matter?

It really matter, as a matter of fact it helps people grow, especially in making new friends, meeting new people.

It’s like building a bridge, crossing one culture to another culture. It brings people together.


I hate wars. I hate discrimination. That’s why I’m starting to break the ice here. I want to build a bridge of friendship to close the gap and become friends with you all. I don’t care what country, culture or religion are you as long as you support world peace and you believe in friendship then you are welcome.

Love That Could Have Been But Could Never Be

It’s like a title of a movie or a love song but it’s not. Seriously speaking, it really happens in real life, many of us experience it and I like myself have been in this kind of situation before. Actually, the reason why I wrote this blog is because I was move by a certain music album from a well known FM radio station from the Philippines. I can relate to this album. Feels like I was the one who collected these songs and compile it into an album. Memories of yesterday awakened from the back of my brain as I listen to their music. It really feels good and made me smile as I recall those hidden memories. It’s like a drama scene from a romantic yet tragic movie. It’s a real life experience of mine. I just want to share it to all of you.

I met this girl and fall for her

I was working in a private company when suddenly a girl of my age applied and was hired the by company. Not to exaggerate but she’s pretty, damn smart and very friendly. My girlfriend and I just broke up that time. Days pass by and I find myself getting close to her, I thought that it’s just a feeling of longing for someone, but one day I knew I already fall for her. I didn’t tell her this, I just let it pass, telling her might destroy our friendship or maybe I’m just afraid I might lose the closeness we are sharing that time.

I told her, she reacted

Months pass by, still I haven’t told her a thing or two, I only tell it to our friends. I always ask them, what will I do? Should I tell her? These questions always echo in our office when she’s not around. All of them answered me “yes” over and over. So that day I couldn’t help it. I’m a talkative man but when it comes to a situation like this I’m as shy as a bird. And so I told her. She was shock. A moment of silent, she slowly turns away but she smiles at me before she left. Hours pass by and she hasn’t talked to me after that incident. She went home early. I guess I made her angry. As the clock tick 5pm, it’s time for us to go home. I was waiting for the bus to ride home when my cell ring, so I open my cell and found a new message, the message says “meet me at mall at exactly 6pm”. So we meet up at the mall. Her face was so serious. I can’t speak. I must have swallowed my tongue, then, she turns to me and said “I like you too”. I thought I was just her joke but as I looked at her she’s so serious, her face turned red.

We knew it all along

We’re a couple now as I may say, we were so happy when we’re together. We always share a laugh, we both love movies, music and going to places. We both fall for each other. We both share our dreams to each other, having a family with 2 kids, living in a quiet, solemn place. 2 months have passed and we didn’t it notice it. One big problem arises and we knew it that this thing would happen.

Falling Apart

She has boyfriend, and I knew it from the very start. Her boyfriend notice that something’s going on at his back. So, before worst thing could happen she decided to put an end to our secret relationship. We both love each other but something’s just not right. At first I thought she would choose me before her boyfriend but I was wrong, she chooses him. We’re both sad, we both feel pain but we must end it now. Saying goodbye was not an easy thing for the both of us. One must decide who will quit the job. So she did.

Excerpt

Why do we find someone only to lose them? Why everything feels so right yet so wrong? How can someone that make you happy yet makes you so sad? Being with someone we knew we couldn’t have? All of these are “love that could have been but could never be”.

Past is Past

We usually hear this when someone open up a discussion ‘bout the past incident or things already happened in one’s life. Is it healthy for a relationship to bring back the past? What good does it brings?

The Bad

Bringing up old mistakes - Actually for me this is one of the worst things we shouldn’t ever do in a relationship. Mistakes are mistakes, we can never erase it, it’s already done but we learn from it. Let the mistakes go. No use crying over spilt milk. Live and let go.

Reminiscing past relationship – It’s not that bad actually but as I’ve said live and let go. You’re no longer in the past, you wake up each day with your present partner. How would you feel if your partner talks and reminiscing his/her past relationship? Hello!!!

Comparison of 2 – This is so bad, don’t ever compare your past partner with your present partner. It’s very fatal. Remember that each of them has a different characteristics, different values in life and different way in handling things.

The Good

Reminiscing good moments together – remembering good times together is very healthy for a relationship, especially those happy and funny things you did before.

Keeping souvenirs and memorable things – keeping it means cherishing it. Remembering places you visited together and even the movies you’ve watched together helps both of you build a strong relationship.

Keeping, remembering and reminiscing funny and happy things makes the bond between you and your partner alive. Cherishing these things means you’re cherishing your partner.

We all know that some past is so hard to accept, especially when it brings sadness and pain but also remember that if these things didn’t happen in our life we will not grow, we will not earn experience and we will never learn. It’s what makes us whole.
