In Search of a Superpower

In Ateneo, Starbucks was the place to be and for some it still is. It is where students get-together for group meetings, do assignments, hangout, chat, drink some coffee, smoke, drink some beer or just sit there and pass the time. And in one of those conversations (Me, Yong, Ariel and Nyoy), Yong asked: "If you have a choice, what power would you like to have?". And we blurted out..the power of spiderman, the power of superman...no, the ability to read the future, the power to freeze time...and so on. Then Ariel said, "How about the power to read people's mind, because if I knew what one was thinking I would know what to do. If he's planning to kill me, or try to manipulate me then I would know how to react and defend myself". But then we argued that people can conceal what's on their mind. People can disguise and control what they are thinking so that when you are reading them, it's totally a different thing. However, if you have the power of good judgment, how can you go wrong?

And you would never know how long we were sitting there and how many cups of coffee or bottles of beer we drank, or how many packs of cigarettes we smoked.

Happy Living

Just in..

I received from Mia the following messages. One of those forwarded messages that sticks to the mind and speaks to the soul. One that is so cool to share to the world.

Important things that we should remember in life:

Sometimes you have to forget the rules, follow your heart and see where it takes you.
Never apologize for saying what you feel because that's just saying sorry for being real.
Never regret anything you said or did, because at some point in your life, it was what you wanted.
True strength is being able to hold it all together when everyone else is expecting you to fall apart.

Happy living.


Thanks Mia!

...and Johnny seconded.

Whattt??

Yes, he speaks to me. Just got a call. I'm not hallucinating, am I?

----
Me: Hi, Johnny! What shall I do? How do you decide when there are a lot of choices out there?

Johnny Depp: I am doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.

Me: Really?

Johnny Depp: Just do what you want, just do what you need to do for you. Don't ever get to a place where you have regrets. Don't regret doing something for somebody. Do what you need to do for yourself.

Me: Thanks, Johnny!

I so love Johnny Depp. ;)

The Answer

It was supposed to be my entry last January1 titled Closure:

Time tells who your real friends are, time heals all wounds, time tells which was and is true love, time tells who you can become. Time has been my ally.


But what the heck, there's no better time than now. It's not always a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Time discloses truth... yes, and I got mine today. Sad and liberating at the same time.

The Truth That Lied (Aug 18, '07)
By Golda

You are the beautiful, painful lie that I loved
You are true, and yet your promises are lies
You are the song that brought me to life, (but not to light)
You sing of happy truths behind your gentle eyes
You kissed like you mean it, you loved like you want it
But you lie, you lie, you lie.

You are the only lie which sounds so true
(That's why I always believed in you.)
But you're still the only lie that made me smile
And you're the only truth that made me cry.

Thanks Golda, I'll post it here na baka i-delete mo ulit sa blog mo. Hahaha. Love it. I'm such a freakin' fan.

A Eulogy

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare

I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind
I hate you so much that it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme

I hate the way you're always right
I hate it when you lie
I hate it when you make me laugh
Even worse when you make me cry

I hate the way you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Don't tell me you love me when you don't
Don't feel me just because you're bored
Heart be still...you know his kind
Be cool, don't judge..don't be blind.


Damn.
