Default - The Memory Will Never Die
Accidental or intentional, forgetfulness is one of my qualities. It is my sickness and my cure. It is my pain and my painkiller. For some things, it's for the best..and for the others, causes the worst.
Sometimes I forget things, I have to put them as Reminders in my phone. Sometimes, I even forget to put them on my Reminders. And when I do, sometimes I just forget to read them. =D
But I know there will always be things that I won't forget. And I have realized that these things are connected to one thing, and one thing only..and that is love. No matter how long it's been, or how far I've reached, some memories will just never die.
My dad helped me with a woodcraft project in grade school..He also helped fix my near-blind eyes..
My mom stays/wakes up in the early morning to open the door for me when I come home late. Even during my ROTC days when I had to leave super early on Sunday mornings..
The first time I accompanied Faith home, but had no idea how to go home..
Agnes fixed up my abrasion after my half of my right forearm was messed up during a company outing..
After our Xmas party, Em (and Engel) stayed with me around midnight til 5am..
Anna made a special scrapbook as a birthday gift for me..
I brought Yhar squidballs when she was sick one time..and all I wanted was for her to get well =)
These are just few of the memories that I hold dear to my heart. I know that when I grow old, I'm going to depend on my heart to remember these memories.

Friday Footprints
Earlier tonight I stopped by a store in a mall. I was buying something when a young girl pointed at me and said "Hey mom, it's Superman!". It brought a gentle smile to my tired and wornout face. Yeah, I wore my Superman shirt, but that's all it is.
I'm no Superman, and right now I can't carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. I try my best each day to help with my friends' problems, yet right now I'm just relying on prayers for them. I wanted my life to stay like it is, but right now I want to escape where only the wind would hear me. I thought I knew where I was going, but right now I am lost again in this road.
With or without Superman-like powers, I will find my way out of this darkness.

Wednesday Worth-its
Almost a week has passed, yet I still can't convince myself that what happened last Friday night was real. =) I know it's a bit exaggerated because it was a simple thing, but it was a bit of everything to me. =) =) I was happy, but more or less I know that I shouldn't expect anything else like that to happen again. Til next time, I guess.
I finally bought my Xmas gift for my Dad today, which were tickets to the PBA Finals game this Friday. But I got heartbroken because the seats were..well, not really the ones that I wanted. Sold out easily I guess. He already took me there twice to watch, and I'm happy I could finally pay him back. And I know it's gonna be worth it.

Wednesday Worth-its
I gave her calla lilies and roses today, and the feeling was worth it, even for a few minutes only. And when I did, my tongue betrayed me 'coz I didn't know what to say when I saw her. The calla lilies do fit her.

Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On
The song's chorus kept on repeating in my head after I heard it inside Ms. Trina's car. And last Thursday night I finally got to watch Eragon with Nigel and Em (yuh 3rd wheel mode haha). Cool visuals, but I was just not impressed with the catchphrases.
Every night when I walk home and I'm only a few houses away, I look up at the night sky and look for stars to make wishes upon. A bit childish, but in one way it keeps my hopes alive. And that Thursday night (or Friday midnight) was super-special, because there were so many stars. It's as if God just blew all the clouds away. There were so many stars that it felt like they were all watching me, instead of me watching them.
It's quite ironic, though, because even if there were so many stars that night, I couldn't make the one wish I wanted to happen. I have lost all hope that I know that not even a wish can make it happen. All I could do is just watch the stars and respond to what Fate has in store for me.
But please no more 3rd wheel modes haha =) Maybe another client call with Ms. Trina? =) =) and Sir Dondi of course.
