‘It’s not a breeding ground for romance. It’s love as a verb. Love that will make you more patient, more loyal, and stronger.’

trust

November 14, 2009

that condom manufacturer sure knows what is important in any relationship (naked or otherwise),
trust.
who would enjoy sex when worries of pregnancy, stds, or the likes are screaming in your head?
you need to trust that accidents would not happen. that potential infections are kept at bay.
that one’s dick is safely cocooned in protective rubber.
its trusting that [...]

define love

November 8, 2009

Ilang beses ko na rin nasagot ang tanong na ‘what is love?’ mula sa di mabilang na slam books na dumaan sa aking buhay, mga walang katapusang usisaan ng mga kaibigan, at sa mga exams ng mga professors na tinamad mag-isip ng bagong bonus questions na itatanong.
At sa di mabilang na pagkakataon ng aking pagsagot [...]

ever had that feeling of being stuck? of having no options left but to stay, sit, and be still? of having things happen around you while you sit there immobile and helpless?

the year is about to end and it seems its not just the year that is ending.

the perks of being a wallflower

September 21, 2009

once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
and he called it “chops”

and that’s what it was all about

and his mother hung it on the kitchen [...]

“I don’t have any formula for ousting a dictator or building democracy. All I can suggest is to forget about yourself and just think of your people. It’s always the people who make things happen.”
“I am not embarrassed to tell you that I believe in miracles.

roller coaster

July 26, 2009

i love roller coasters. sometimes.
it gives a thrill like no other ride can give. its ups. its downs. its 360 turns.the corkscrews.
it makes me scream. it makes me laugh. it makes my heart pound.
its exhilirating.
but i can only take several seconds of it. barely more than a minute.

i cant spend [...]

i am a shoe.

July 4, 2009

(note: work of fiction)
when every relationship you enter into always succeeds in failing
one cannot help thinking: is it me that has a problem?
if im going to string a bean for every attempt at a happy lovelife, i would already have made a bunch of rosaries,
prayer beads for the desperate.
i would like to think that im [...]

me: bakit may tirador dito?
