Musings of a Kindred Spirit

Missing Jojo ♥

“He’s gone.” My uncle’s words haunted me. I refused to believe it. I tried to get rid of the shock, the pain, and the confusion inside me through my shouts, my cry of agony, my prayers that what I heard was not true, my wish that I was just dreaming. That I would wake up anytime soon. I tried to seek comfort in my husband’s tight embrace but the pain kept on flowing, streaming in my veins. It drained all my energy and when they left me, I felt numb. I felt that I needed to escape. Questions raced inside my mind with the heaviness inside my chest telling me that it’s most likely that I will never find the answers to them.

Milestone♥

A few hours from now, at7:10 in the morning, it will exactly be seven years after my life was changed into something purposeful. Seven years after I learned to love selflessly, without wanting anything in return. Seven years since I experienced a miracle. Seven years and I was shaken by how time flies.

A Walk to Remember

Have you ever felt that you were being pulled into a black hole? That even though you did not give much thought about it and was heading to another direction, you just noticed a little too late that you were being dragged into it? Then you struggle and try to be free from an invisible entity grabbing you with so much force that even breathing suddenly became a luxury? Please tell me that you did at one point in your life so that I can console myself that I am not alone.

COPRE 2009

On our way to Iloilo, I can say that we had a good time. Although the backmost seat of the bus (or whatever that is called) could not accomodate all the Collegians, the other two, Jovie and Jofer sat in front of us. As expected, we were full of energy andour chatters and laughters floated inside the bus as the other passengers listened since they were left with no choice. My favorite part of the ride was when we played Pinoy Celebrity Alphabet. We would name celebrities whose name starts with “A” then “B” and so on. The one who would run out of a celeb would be called “Bobo”. My least favorite part of the ride was not having Sir June and Darren with us.

TGIS (Thank God it’s Saturday)

Ma. Cristina Villanueva. Yes, if you were an avid fun of this youth oriented TV show by GMA-7, you will surely recognize this name. Raven Villanueva’s character. The smart, conservative one who was in love with Mickey Ledesma, the character portrayed by Michael Flores. Well, it seemed to me that the main characters in this show was Peachy Real (Angelu De Leon) and Joaquin Torres III or Wacks (Bobby Andrews) but Cris or Cristina was my favorite because I don’t really like having favorites who were also favorite of the majority. Not to mention that I think Raven Villanueva is prettier IMHO and I love her eyes. Full of vivacity and always glowing. So expressive that even though she may not be a good actress as expected of someone who became someone’s favorite, I still thought that she was perfect for the part.

TGIS made me appreciate the song “It Might be You” by Stephen Bishop. It was Wack’s and Peachy’s themesong to my dismay, and Cris and Mickey had “Open Arms” as theirs. It was a really romantic, sickeningly sweet song and I dreamt about it as the song to be played on my wedding but when I got older, I realize that “MIGHT” is not good enough for marriages.

The Climb

Part of my daily morning routine was watching music videos on Myx or MTV every morning while dressing up for school. I have to stay updated so that I will have something to talk about when I’m with the younger generation of the family. I’m still young, but of course, not as young as them. And I wonder why I have to be defensive. But I digress, and about music videos, I remember when I was younger, in my elementary and high school years, I know each and every song that was in the daily playlist. I even know the title of the album and the artist behind each song. Now, and I know that it is a sign that I am getting older, only few caught my attention and made me interested to know who the artist behind the song was.

It’s very unlikely for my age but I like a couple of songs from Miley Cyrus. “The Climb” and “Party in the USA”.

They have a common factor. I believe that they are somehow inspirational. For the former, it is obvious. Heck, even Jason Mraz love that song. For the latter, I like the concept of it. How people sometimes get strength from music. “Got my hands up, they’re playin’ my song and the butterflies fly away. I’m noddin’ my head like yeah, movin’ my hips like yeah” … “The DJ plays my song and I feel alright”

But that job was never done effectively as by Rico Blanco’s “Yugto”. I actually formed a habit which was playing that song, full blast whenever I feel down and uninspired.
