“spooky how time flies when one is having fun…” said a character in a popular novel series, at may katotohanan ito.
Bakit nga ba kapag hindi ka interesado sa ginagawa mo, e parang ambagal bagal ng oras?
Bakit nga kaya sa tuwing enjoy ka sa ginagawa mo e parang ambilis bilis ng oras?
Bakit nga ba kapag wala kang ginagawa e parang anghaba ng isang linggo?
Bakit nga kaya sa tuwing andami mong ginagawa e parang isang kisapmata lang ang isang araw?
sulat ko habang nasa utak ko pa..
in high school, before the academic year ended, i found out i lost one of my books. one cool friend classmate, however, was able to fully lend me hers, since they were on the honor roll naman, and they were finish already with their exams weeks before we – the rest of the class – take ours.
sinusulat ko ‘to kase may tatlong tanong sa utak ko na di ko na maalala:
August 15, 2011: Ang meron pa rin lang ako ay chorus.
I could just go on and live my life loving you without having you know that I do,
Because I know in my heart that I’ll never be to you the way that you are to me.

How do we wish?
When do we wish?
Why do we wish?
Over the course of my life, napansin ko people often interchangeably use the word dream and wish when they want to achieve something, when they want something to happen. The disctinction I see between the two (dream at wish) is that wish seems to have this sort of magical connotation, and I love anything magical.
How do you wish? Do you say it? Aloud? Quietly? Do you write it? Ilagay sa bote, at ibaon, itapon sa dagat? sa ilog? Do you feel it to mean it?
I’m intrigued, because honestly I cannot give explicit instructions on how to wish. I feel that to wish shares this similarity with to love: to each his own. We might have some certain similarities, but my opinion on how a wish is a wish won’t ever be completely the same as yours. To each his own, I feel.
I know a person who makes a wish whenever she sees an airplane. There are some who do when they see a ‘shoot’ing star. Often a person makes a wish during her birthday, when it’s Christmas, when she’s alone, in a quiet environment, and the list goes on… perhaps infinitely. Just goes to show ‘to each his own.’
Now, why do we wish?
You might say you wish because you want something to happen, and that something – you are convinced – is impossible or very close to impossibility.
I can relate. See, I wish for people to stop comparing me with anyone else but myself. And I wonder why I wish that. or kung dapat ko ba ‘tong i-wish…
But I know that will never happen. There will always be people who will do the comparison between me and another person with completely different experiences compared to mine.
I ask, then:
Why wish, if we have no control naman as to whether it comes true or not? Masabi lang na nagwish? Pagtas nun? Asa lang?
Why wish, if we have control naman pala on its realization? Anong use? Di ba pwedeng gawin na lang kung kaya naman pala?
Sige nga, what’s your wish? Why do you wish?
