Plains...Stripes...Prints: Food from the Soul

Posted by Naga City Deck on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 7:56 PM

I slept at around 1:30 am due to some layout stuff for a tarp for my mom's graduating students. Dahil sa kaantukan ko di ko rin natapos, kaya tinatapos ko pa ngaun. Kelangan ko ng ipaprint to this lunch time. I woke up at 6:30, 5 hours of sleep was I guess not enough because while waiting for the water to heat up I still managed to sleep for a few minutes. For almost 3 months I've been trying to change my sleeping habit and I know I haven't succeeded yet.

I'm in yellow today, the color makes me feel light, kaya nga cguro di rin halata that I still lack sleep. At around 9:30, Sir Mon came, he is the husband of our former Psychometrician, Ma'am Gaile who passed away last November. Their eldest son will be graduating from high school this Sunday and according to Sir Mon, it's a must that our office be given a treat because of Rainier's achievement. Sir Mon even joked, baka pagalitan daw sya ni Ma'am Gaile kung hnd kami ittreat.

We reminisced our moments with Ma'am Gaile before her sudden death by the video presentation that a student made and which I also prepared. The song that I used in the presentation was "Greatest Memory" by Hope. Bigla nnman tuloy ako na sad.

We were all reminded of how good and kind she was and how much we miss her. She was a mom and friend to us.

So there we ordered over the telephone and nag ready na kami for the salo-salo. Together with us was Kuya Pao who was also close to Ma'am Gaile. Ang galing nga timing nya eh, tamang tama may food from our special someone. He was even wondering kung bakit daw may food, sbi namin galing ki Ma'am Gaile yan.. so he said.. "It's FOOD FROM THE SOUL".

We will never forget the lines from the presentation during your last day here on earth. "I may have stayed short but don't prolong my agony by your grieving". We're doing fine Ma'am Gaile, personally, I'm also adjusting with big leaps in my footsteps, I know you're always there ready to guide me especially when it comes to Psychological Testing.

We truly miss you Ma'am Gaile.

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.
