February Fever

Flashes. 

Everything seemed to be that. 

But if in those flashes you've felt the happiest, if in those moments you've felt that you are most loved, wouldn't you want a pause button you could press just so you could wish for those moments to linger a little or perhaps a rewind for you to go back to those moments? I do. 

However life offers no such  button for pauses and  replays but photographs sure do the freezing of those moments we never want to forget. 

Cheers to these times: 

IESO Cheer dance night practices

First time that I felt how it was to fly.Literally. 

Did I got scared? Yes. But as a Forgetting Sarah Marshal movie puts, I could've fallen off hard on the ground but nothing could ever hurt me as bad as some things did. That was me being impervious to pain. 

ENGMEET CHEER DANCE COMPETITION

For the record, there was a moment that day when I let myself search for some familiar face in the crowd. So I regret how I never asked for that person to be there. However much it would mean to me (coz that person had seen me at my lowliest point, he should've seen me at my best)  if I dared bothered to, I don't think that someone would have cared to be there, anyway.  

AstroSoc people at Engmeet Cheer dance.
It was nice seeing these people I haven't been with for a long time . 

February Fair 2012. It wasn't the best fair. The fair grounds were too murky and muddy and no great bands were there to perform, except Paramita, who only played two songs. 

But if you are with these people, there would always be a  reason why things would turn out to be fun. 

With UP PhotoS

3rd year  of UPLB Fair with my UP PhotoS family. Most of my batchmates happen to be in some far  off and new places with new people already, thankful still that there were some who were still there . these kiddos made me feel nonetheless at home. 

Glad that my ex- roommate Nikki was there though we never really had the chance for a  catch-up. Seeing that she's okay is something already. 

Eileen, Karl and I were about to go home one night after walking mindlessly over booths and finding nothing really interesting when we happened to bump into these people and found out that our org's founder,  Kuya Jab, was home. Look closely what  what I was holding - a LEGIT lomo camera.

Kuya Jab with all the cool stuff he brought. Legit Lomo cameras. A feast of coolness.

First FebFair with IESO. 

First time that I climbed The Wall

and reached the top, DRUNK. 

Apao and I. Rockstars. 

 UP PhotoS Alumni Homecoming/ My first and probably only College Prom night 

Who wouldn't be overwhelmed with this much love?

Faith in Fate

Ever believed in something so hard that it becomes something that gets you through whatever you need to go through? I do. It's my faith in fate.

As there are things in life that we need to fight for and dare not lose, there are  the battles too that we need not to  even engage in. Not that we are in any way afraid to lose, nor that we deem the casualties of the war we are to engage in wouldn't be worth the fight. Sometimes it's just that we aren't that ready yet to fight, to  be hurt and likewise hurt. To battle unprepared would be unwise but what could be worse is a victory realized worthless. Perhaps, there was a point in our lives when  we really wanted a thing so badly, wished for it night and day and hoped for it endlessly. Perhaps there was a point in our lives when hell we would  kill to keep that thing. But along came that time when little by little the fire that once was a burning  desire for that one thing dies away. 

A shrill. Coldness.Indifference.  

Not for me. I deserve better. 

Heaven, forbid! I do. We all do. 

Realizing that was a victorious feeling already. But it was a truth that was hard to take in so a part of me lingered and carried on with a self-destructive phase and did things that I could never really be proud of. I let myself turn into someone I know I was really not and worse let a person see me that way and gave up with the effort to have him see me in a different light too.   I hated myself those times that I feel the need to step up and be my better self but succumbed to my weaknesses instead. But just when I thought, I would be in that lowly pit for a long time, came  a rescue -in possibly the most peculiar way no one ever really understood nor will ever do. The one who got me into that pit was the same person who opened an  escape for me. A chance for salvation in guise of an ending. 

Funny, eh?  Mighty save. 

Pass all the drama, he was and still is, my life's  coolest paradox.

I remember it was with him that I smile my most genuine; yet it was from him  too that I got my severest head aches. He was  someone I really do hate and possibly abhor to an extent but had possibly felt the exact otherwise at the same time.

He was the escape I've loved to run to  when  my reality was presented with too many drama and complications. Then,  became someone I have ran away from.

My summer sunshine. With him, were the lightest feelings one could ever feel  yet too much had burnt me to a  degree that  had  proved itself harmful.

Coldness and warmth. I learned the way to seem cold cause in every way it would mean warmth.  And likewise felt warmth when it was never anything but coldness.


That's just about that. I am not really one to live with too much complications. Though complications never fail to be enticing, I rather eliminate such in my life right now. Not right now.  So I yea, I walked away without even putting up a fight.

If it ever seemed that whatever  friendship this is doesn't mean anything anymore because of much of the things said and careless arguments fired and the distance and the time we let pass without all the catching up could drift this apart and possibly make every fun moment shared lose all their worth,  remember: Fate reveals the remedy. 

The choices that we made, we made because we need to grab that shot at happiness. Enjoy and carry on.

There is so much I want to do, so much I need to learn and so many things I want to be.

I don't want to be hold back by too many things. I want to do more, learn more and be more. 

If ever the rightful time comes for a rightful battle, I would always know who to be grateful for.
