there will be times that will make you realize that you’re a grown-up and there are lots of things you can discover in a different point of view. the line from the theme of batibot “pagmulat ng mata….bago pumasok sa iskwela, magbatibot” means a lot different to me now…ahaha…(grin)..ugh….i miss kiko matsing, pong pagong, at si manaaaaaaang bola! (haha, i dont even know if my kids a.k.a my students know that pinoy version of sesame street).
that’s it. whatever. haha.

EVERYTHING IS TRANSITORY (by: my favorite student, ana jenni e. malroy)

i object to the statement. technically speaking, transitory is something that lasts only for a short time. nothing is constant in this world, as they say.

everything that started is destined to end but i guess nobody could be certain when it will, which makes the statement wrong (at least for my belief). some things could exist even long after they’ve gone. some things end even before they exist. some things could be lasting despite of the changes it endured.

some things are transitory.
some could be really ephemeral.
but not everything.

*SEMPLANG*
yan ang pinakaiiwasan at kinatatakutan ko nung bata ako — ang sumemplang sa bike, sa rollerblades, atbp na may gulong o gumugulong.

nung tumanda ako, nakakatakot pa rin sumemplang — sa grades, sa expectations ng magulang, sa career, pati na rin sa pag-ibig. naisip ko, sa bawat semplang noon at ngayon ay palaging may kasamang sakit at aral…ang bawat semplang ay nagdudulot ng galos sa katawan at sugat sa nararamdaman…pero ganyan talaga ang buhay. hindi kumpleto hanggat di ka bumabalebalentong at sumisempleng…. di ba? di nga….hindi nga ba? oo di ba? :p

…and then a sorrow sinks upon me, dusky as the grey of lusterless summer nights, through which a star glimmers –now and then…

if sadness rises up before you, larger than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light and cloud-shadows, passes over your hands and over all you do. you must think that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand…. it will not let you fall.
