A letter from my father after I asked why he...
Pi,
Hindi ko naman ipinapiprint, download lang sa computer ni mama, para mabasa naman natin kung saan tayo dadalhin ng tuwid na daan and also, who knows in our humble ways ay kahit paano makatulong tayo para ma-achieve ang goal na iyon. Although hindi naman na tayo naghihirap ngayon, mas maganda rin siyempre kung walang naghihirap sa ating bayan.
Kung meron kang soft copy ay pakipasa na lang...

Goodbye, father.

I remember the first time we went to hear him officiate, Len kept saying he looked like my then boyfriend. Haha.

Death by coke.
Forced to skip the annual Paolo is here/ k1b6 dinner. Total bummer as god knows, I have been looking forward to seeing my old cell group —-Jeff, Tin, Nins, Lai and everybody else whose stories I want to hear. Even Jackie was coming. I only see these people once a year but I’m sick beyond belief today. Of all days. Sometimes I get so sure, I am going to be dead by 30. ),:

The Joy of Quiet. →
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism; it’s just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better — calmer, clearer and happier — than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: it’s joy, which the monk David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.”

The Invitation.
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon… I want to know if you have touched the...

Questions in my head.
How does it feel to leave knowing people are not sad to see you go?
Why can’t you make up your mind?
Why do the ones we trust screw us over?
How can you enjoy the holidays with food and gifts bought from money you’ve stolen?
Why do bad things happen and bad people exist?
What are you praying for this Christmas?

Evil - 2, Me - 0.
I spent almost the entire day at the police station. The investigators came over to ask the guard a number of questions. He was trembling, stuttering with his answers. It felt like a scene straight from Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment.

After.
I told myself I was going to write about the kids but it’s already Friday and I haven’t got one word. So here I am trying. I went to see them again last week after three weeks of absence. Jolly almost did not recognize me. We tried making paper dolls so I can put their faces, remember their names and Kat can have something to help monitor attendance. It was just the two of us so it was...

Bite your tongue.
Hindsight. For the longest time I’ve been trying to figure out what went wrong, what I did wrong, what was wrong with me and then finally it hit me, it wasn’t me. It was all you. You are a selfish person.
Kids. One day you’re going to get tired and you’re going to ask yourself what have you accomplished and you’re going to wish you didn’t think it was all about...

The fair has to end some time. →
About all I can hope for in life is that the people I love know that I love them. That I’m doing all I can to treat people as well as I can. The noble struggle is to find a way to love someone. To really love someone. To get beyond yourself far enough that you can actually care about another person more than you care about yourself.
Nothing is as amazing as finding someone who loves you...
