...feeling happy & thats what it call!

november 27, 2005 / 5.36 pm

its been Awhile since I write something good. I had been writing things that were so hurtful or all about desperation. But, now, let me change it and let me try to divert or change my flow.to be honest, I don’t where this would lead me, but I entrust it to my, very own, notion that keep on lurking inside me since last Friday.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

When was the time I felt the super dooper happy and fun (inside me). That even my lungs are raising their hands begging to stop because I’ve been laughing so hard and so long. To be honest I can’t figure it out when was that? Its funny to say that yes I’ve had it but when? How stupid of me saying this things yet, it finding me hard time recalling the very instance when it was. All I knew I just have it when I was in the group (but what group?). last semester break, I knew I smiled again but not as what I wanted to happen. (the one that bursting into cry because of the happiness that been rushing into your lungs and blood). Creating an event in life with the full of excitement was never easy. When I was with my group (the undergraduate “close” friends whom I entrusted my deepest secrets and desires). We just talked about the college years when we were still together. (especially when I carry nikki and put her inside the trashcan which is in the middle of the campus) or even the time when I told nikki that I didn’t past her final paper, in one of our major subjects in psychology, that make her cry so hard and we all felt the sudden quilt because we just fool her and just playing of her. Or one time when we are all walking in the covered walk when suddenly one of our friend professor whom she likes just pass by and told to him that, “excuse me sir, nikki has a crush on you!”, which she really turned into red face and everybody was really laughing and running. Those things, whom, I really misses a lot. The college life Was the best life for me. Even though its was quite difficult at the start (building some rapport on one another and be a group) which really gave us a very strong relation to each other. The days then, seem to be so fast. I can still remember, year 1996 september, when I was really put on hot sit due to some misunderstandings with the group (whom until now we are all close). That’s was also the time when I first met the first girl whom I truly love and entrusted my very essence of life (I can still remember and feel the courage on her hand that brought me where I am right now – I call her my angel then that gives many people notice our closeness). Anyhow, that was another story, but mind you this! Guess what, after a year,1997 september (same place where we had the smooth interpersonal relationship – that is being held every year for something purposes), anyhow, let me tell you, with proud, that I am not alone but the group are now in the center (meaning all of us in the hot seat – interrogation with our batch mates). That moment gives us all(the group) a very strong bonding and trust to one another. (actually this was the exact words that tuts said, “we love each other and we care for each other”) which gives us the name – “high profile” – courtesy of our batch mates. So everytime we are loud and laughing (ops, we all says, “we need to be low profile” – that gives us really a devilish face while smiling). So, those are some moments with my friends in college life. Memories that really stayed in my mind like a stain that cannot be erase by anyone even death.
Now, the last time I check on them, two of them are “happily married and have kids”, ofcourse all of us are godfathers and godmothers. So, this coming holidays, I be already preparing the gifts for them (one boy aged 1 and one girl aged 6 – it happen two months before our graduation she doesn’t know that she pregnant – but now, we call her the “sex guru”). Everybody has their own lives. Busy doing their stuff and happily moving on (of their lives) same here. Ops, before I forgot they are:
_______________________
Tuts – happily married with one daughter(aged 6) named charlize. And we call her the sex guru, married to Sunday. A teacher but with blood of politics. (I miss you so much and love you batutay).
_______________________
Esche – the motor mouth in the group (meaning “taklesa” or “straight forward”). Has a strong personality and even guys are afraid to he. A professor in a university. Still single but happily doing her job – even sometimes irritated due to some stupidity of t her students. Men don’t full this genius girl you might be busted and even lost your nerve. And,ops, a true rockstar!
_______________________
Mitch – my dear mitch. She is the shy type person. But mind you, (she have this bed room that the group wish its ours – hehehehe! Airconditioned, dvd, music, tv, and big room) a true person that easy to please just let her feel she belongs. Still single but happily helping her mom in their business. Ops, she own a stall in market, mind you, in her own name! and, this, ask some new gadgets she has it(especially cell phones). Lastly, she has her own car that’s why we love her so much!
______________________
Nikki – the “gifted child” but here’s the catch, “promil (milk) user but expired lang” (hahahaha). No, I love this girl. Happily in-love with (chris – lawiswis as I call him). She has the heart of a child, easily cries even in the movies or scene television. She is the eldest sister of four girls (yup! All of them are girls). A guidance counselor in the university that you won’t believe because she dresses like the college students. But, mind you, you cannot trick her like we use too hahahaha!
_____________________
Chie – this person known as “career move” in every relationship she had. Before she settled last year (that we are not invited). We understand it anyway, happily married to cecil and jamming with his little boy marcus (who just turned 1 last November 2005). This is the person whom I berely see even we are both in manila but its okay we never change and still she loves me and support me (especially what happen to me – thanks chie).

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

this are the thoughts that (kepp on running) runs into my head when I think of (them - happy feeling and so proud having them in my life). While listening to a Korean song (a love song which I can’t understand the lyric but all I know I am really love it)

and lastly, our very last motto,

"no goodbyes,

just see you later"

i'm back...but still have cough and headache

2.43 pm / office

yesterday around three i visited the the office to divert my mind and not waste my time in my room "restingg" (as all people told me) because last friday i am didn't feel good. but yesterday (early morning) my temperature rise up i think (38.5) and i felt i was wheezing (becasue my asthma just invaded my lungs again). to be honest for almost 4 years i stayed here in diliman i never experience any attack (asthma) despite of the smogs and pollution here in quezon city. but, yesterday, i was shocked and really bothered. because last weekend, even though i am not feeling well i accompany my achie to buy some stuffs and we went to four malls the whole saturday. and last sunday i went out again with friend to watch harry potter (and we got some reserve seats compliment of hani thru www.sureseats.com). then, after that we all, hani, doms, jay and abby, hear mass in greenbelt then waited for the fireworks showdown in greenbelts. it was really nice and spectacular.

after that, i went home and watch cable. around 12 midnight i chat to a new found frind name rose nidchay from thailand. we just talk for an hour and left after an hour. so, around two in the morning i close the laptop then sleep. i wake up around quater to 6 then prepare myself for work. yet, i know i don't feel good but i need to act normal cause my sister would notice (i don't want to happen becasue she'll insist that i'll better stay in the condo and rest which it would really kill me becasue of doing nothing).

to cut the story short, i end up in my room (ipil dorm) the whole monday and tuesday because i am not really feeling good and my fever is really high.

but, today, i said to myself i need to work so that i can divert my mind and the aches would go away(it may sound silly but thats the way i cope up when i have sick). even, i still have cough and colds i am already here working and it,really,gives me a good smile...

(thank GOD there is what you call medicine - biogesic, advil, decolgen, amoxicillin and vintolin for my asthma)

after the movie...harry potter!

hmmm...let me think it first
just a little time to think of!

today is saturday and i am sick:(

i woke up around five in the morning
it was really cold
and i could really feel it upto my bones
because my temperature was really high (i guess around 37-38)

meaning the flu and colds have just evaded the kingdom "gab"
while feeling the moment
i stand up then check what was the exact time
and went to the comfortroom
despite of the dizziness i am feeling
then shot off the fan
then i sleep again
around 7. 44 in the morning
my sister have sent a message
"haller! how are you? i'll just go with kuya for check up sa dentist"
then, i just force myself to stand up and take a bath
even though i don't feel good with i guess temperature of 37.5 (i guess)
so, before i went to my sister's condo (in makati)
i told to myself to drop by first on the university health center (which is near to my dorm)
i go straight to emrgency corner to ask for assistant
a nurse approach me and i ask for a help
saying "can i have my body temperature i guess i have flu"
so i had my temperature and it was 37.8
so she ask me to go to the attending doctor on duty for possible consultation
then the doctor have given me three prescriptions

(of medicine biogesic, amoxicilin, and decolgen - which i don't usually drink)
then, off i go to mrt quezon ave
fighting my body and stressing that i am okay
so when i arrive in the condo
unfortunately the room is lock
yes, my sister left and she double lock it
unluckily of me all i have is the one key
so i just drove to her office
which is just a two blocks away from our place
then spent my time waiting for her
then around ten or past ten
she text me and told me she'll near
and she'll meet me sa lobby
so we just fix some stuff and went to NBC tent
to do some "bazaar" stuff
she bought something
then after that
drove again going to makati (sm, landmark, and glorietta)
then around 12 noon
we drove again guess where?
hmmm....i bet you'll say divisoria?
actually while sitting beside her(she mention she wants to go there i just stop her)
anyhow, we went to greenhill mall
which we bought some gifts to her and kuya's inaanaks
and a perfume for her (heart eau de parfum by garden botanika)
which really smells good i bet if you have it
i'll literaly fall in love with you (*wink*)
then end up eating chiken tail, gizard, and liver in greenhills
then finally its around 7 in the evening we settle and went home
to rest and drink some medicine that the doctor prescribe
well, thats my whole day activity with my sister (achie)
what you think?
is my flu and colds says goodbye?
to be honest, its still here....

Today is Wednesday

By gab david
1.35 pm / office/ 11/16/05

What would be the best thing to do?
What would be the kind of thing that can move one’s heart?
Would it be okay if I say nothing?
Or could it be just lend a hand?

All I want is to be a good person
There are things here in this world
That is hard to explain
We just follow because there’s no other way
Just like when I wanted to do such thing
Like, Carrying a bag to someone
This would be (too) simple task
But for someone it’s a big help

A Simple smile from thyself
Would be a good start
To a bountiful morning
For many people you met in the street

These are the thoughts of me
It sound nothing actually
But for me it’s a good start
A relief
And a smile (from within)

(boring?) Tuesday with files

gab david
nov 15 2005
office

Fifteen minutes from now
it’s already four in the afternoon
this day was just the same
I feel the day was too long
Files have been arrange and document are being sent
Yet comprehending this notion inside me
Kept on pulling me to write something
Its-been-a-while since I post
To be honest
I just made some lousy introduction
Then lead to nothing
Just like this
How funny it is
And guess what
Comprehending and even realizing what had happen
Is the one gazillion question?????
Even I ask my (damn) brain nerves,
“hey, where are you? (while knocking it so hard)
I been loving to write but I wasn’t able to think the best
Or the right momentum
Insights are just keep on pouring around
From left to right
‘til up and down
but it just can’t compose a better sight
building a great introduction really finding me hard to compose
especially when one thing never lead to next
I been busy (well trying to be…) so that my day would be complete
But I guess there’s nothing to write or declare to the whole world
Anyhow, I just post some other time
I guess????
But hoping this coming days
How I wanted to shout all (my raging) thoughts
For I will be satisfied (from inside)
