After celebrating New Year’s Eve, I spent my 1^st and 2^nd day of the year here in Pili. This is where I spent my first 6 years of life if I’m not mistaken. Everything is simple here, parang nasa barrio nga eh, all is basics and for us nakaka relax tlga, coz its calm and peaceful away from the urban noise and pollution. Last Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, our family was in one house. Dati kc half of us will be in Naga and the other half here in Pili. We can’t leave the compound without any people or kahit isa lng.. mahirap na, maraming mawawala. Yan ang pangit kapag may mga kelangan bantayan ayan tuloy nahahati kami before. Pero thank God our cousin from Caramoan didn’t go home this vacation kaya we asked him to be the taong bahay during the two nights as mentioned. Guess what… I’m not online and I’m surviving just like the old days. Time for some recharging and reorganization of thoughts after having been weary for year 2008. It was a good year I guess, got a lot of surprises and a lot of demise, normally it’s what we call good ol life. The only challenge is we only get to appreciate surprises after it has opened in front of our eyes. On Monday will be back to work, back to paper works and back to business. A lot will be in store when I get back to office. Have to finish a lot communications and I have to prepare for 2 career development activities of the senior college students. Waaaa pressured!! I am! Sobra!

With the 2 weeks vacation, I really did nothing heavy so far, I only did the usual things that I do, household chores, errands and errands. I’m supposed to do a paper work for the TCP class and I’m supposed to do some readings. Waaaaaaa now I’m even more pressured.

But I guess I have spent my time worthwhile with my family and it’s what we call “quality time”. I also had the chance to see some of my high school best of friends. We seldom see each other but the distance and number of times we talk has never changed the value of friendship that we have. Yeah I hibernated and it helped me gain strength to be ready for bundles of surprises for year 2009.

PSP Prologue

I’m plain.. i’m stripes. and i’m printed

im plain with clear outlook to who i am. im not much of a talker because i am much of a listener, i like to scribble anything that comes out of my mind. sometimes i say it, sometimes i don’t, because there are things that should be left unsaid for others to realize that the absence of word will be enough for an asnwer. no matter how complex life is, i’d still like to live life plain and simple, because too much pre-occupation on the complex can make a person dull and stupid.

i live in stripes..vertical or horizontal.. there are a lot of ways to survive this life called reality. we may have the same coping mechanisms, but we differ on how we feel and react towards all those stressors in life. i live by my words by hit or miss, i stand for what i say.. sometimes life can be misleading because of mouths around us that can make or break us. be affected with what others say or be the effect of what you say to others. it’s a matter of how you strip in the stripes that crosses over your pathway.

i need some prints in my consciousness. i need your reactions to teach me how to live life well and to use my words in the utmost good way. we all need someone beyond ourselves who can pop our heads out to be awakened by reality. we all leave prints in the heart of all those we meet, as you leave prints in my heart, i’ll try to leave something in your heart as well. don’t forget that prints can be also be scars, so let us stay away from that.

Anything visible is powerful, what is Plainly seen, Stripes that crosses over, and Prints that leave marks. But the unseen in a person is something that we should learn, explore and understand. PSP and the unknown is what is within ME that makes me human enough to co-exist with you.

I am the me who can’t be you, but I can share my life with you.
