moments

life has become, at least for my part, an unequivocally fast paced string of events, where the essence of a lifetime can be captured in a single breath, love can develop in a second, and where a long journey can feel like just another ride in the metro rail... (hahaha, what an anticlimactic end to a semi-well written sentence)

basically, i've just stated my excuse as to why i haven't been posting lengthy entries lately. hahaha, yes, life and time (for that matter) goes by FAST. moments can escape you by the breadth of a single hair strand... memories can be easily forgotten, as there are just ever so many that one has to remember in the first place...

that's why i love pictures :D kodak moments, ika nga ng commercial. they immortalize the feeling of a moment, giving us the exquisite and di mapapantayang joy and pleasure of reliving a treasured point in our lives.

and i have quite a few to share...

(ano ba toh, i'm talking like one of those announcer people in the mall... *your favorite mall jingle, insert here*)

With my campaign buddy via, and my ka-fudgebarkada inna, during a much needed time out in a talk about saving mother nature. hahaha!

sabi nila we are born in this world alone, and we leave it, again as individuals isolated from the warmth of another human being's touch.

supposedly somewhere in between those two monumental events, we are NOT alone.

so... why am i feeling so lonely?

==:::A Few Friendly Reminders from your Resident Sane Psycho:::==

life is an unequivocally fast paced string of events, where the essence of a lifetime can be captured in a single breath, love can develop in a second, and where a long journey can feel like just another ride in the metro rail...

so put on your pink tinted glasses, wear your cheesiest smile. life's too short and much too precious to waste with the frivolities of a shallow existence.

let's limbo!

change is the only constant thing in life.

though it is most difficult to cope with change, we must.

it is survival. it is evolution.

but then again,

what if this change is brought about by paranormal sensations and emotions, unforeseen circumstances, hormonal imbalances, and... the weather?

what if this change is caused by things that are not things. forces that are immaterial?

how do we cope?

how do we end the relentless and crazed see-saw of intense emotions churning deep within us?

how do we stop misery?

how do we prolong happiness?

with a four millimeter bullet?

with a cup of peppermint-tasting cyanide?

with prayer?

i don't know.

i can't even begin to pretend to know, or to comprehend.

and i'm sure,

neither can you.

and it scares me.

it scares us.

that this we cannot understand.

everything else --science, mathematics, ratios, proportions, wars, peace talks, chocolate sprinkles and gum drops, ponies and rabbits, Nobel awards-- we know.

but this,

this simple shift of light and darkness,

this slight distinction,

this sudden rearranging of matter, molecules, and sensations.

this indescribable phenomena.

this we cannot even begin to grasp.

illogical, senseless, strange, odd.

fleeting, momentous, gargantuan, colossal.

what is the meaning behind this change in mood? in feeling?

what is the real root? the common cause?

perhaps we have been doomed to be this way.

to not understand.

to be left in the dark.

doomed to be able to adapt with everything else but this simple swing.

this simplistic issue.

never to find a way to evolve around it.

but perhaps.... in this case,

evolution is not survival.

for if you can just grin and bear it.

take it for what it is.

let go of the logic behind it.

perhaps then, survival is possible.

change is not imperative.

accepting is a prerogative, the answer, the key.
