Hindi ako ang ulupong sa Mars
Pagdating sa unan, ang sarap nung tipong tatakluban ka na kasi lubog na mukha mo sa lambot.
Pagdating sa cotton candy, masama naman kung may batong asukal sa loob na bubutas sa ipin.
Pagdating sa gulong ng kotse, hwag masyadong matigas ang lbs/sq.in. (psi) kasi lam mo too much is sometimes not good. Besides pressure and heat don't really meet eye to eye.
There has to be a reason why some objects have to be hard and rugged while others are soft and smooth. Kung sa bagay, God created irregular-shaped objects, alang perfect straight line kasi...well...it's how He saw beauty...and I believe it's better left that way.
But in the non-material world, such as that of language and emotions, the rules are bent so that at times soft and hard have to go hand in hand to produce the best results.
Fore example, guy asks girl (eto nanaman ako) in a romantic date in Baywalk, 3rd monthsary: "Butter cupcake, bakit mo naman ginasgasan kotse ko?" ---patay na...do you really get the most out of a fine conversation by saying that? Wrong case of being hard in a soft scenario where consistency is everything---most of the time.
What if in the same time and place he asked: "Mocca capuccino, handa ka na bang harapin ang kinabukasan kasama ako?"---eeeekkkk, too soft naman e di pa nga kayo nagkakaamuyan e ganyan ang mga birit. Sadly, ako guilty dyan most of the time...kaya I should know.
And the anti-thesis, what if lover boy said this at the climax of their heated talk: "Sugar-coated lollypop, Lam mo naman na ala nag pag-asa ang basketball team mo, pero ge para patunayan, bilhin kita ng tickets nood tayo." ---she may indulge in that and take the invitation to see her favorite team without much thought, or she may be offended but chances are the confounding variable---the tickets, did have an effect. Sometimes, being streetsmart and a romantic at the same time pays off.
How wonderful as it is mesmerizing ei, the world of the unseen, the intangible realms.
Rules are more like norms, they depend on the context and the people involved. But the inherent truth that lasts is: nothing is permanent, change is constant.
E ano naman kinalaman sa akin nyan dear friends?
Ala lang...joke!
I don't want to be the last man bent on reaching Mars. Ayokong maging astronaut na palaging nakatingin na lamang sa kalawakan para maabut yun in due time. I don't want to live a dream, daydreaming at any given Sunday making yourself detached and so affected by rules and norms that dominate the mainstream. Ayoko maging ulupong sa Mars.
I pray that I don't end up as the fool who bet his time and effort on a lost cause, or an impossible feat...a part of me wants me to be practical, to be smarter in as much wiser.
But guess what, a part of me wants to ask God for deviance from this world, for time off and a life I dream of. A part of me that wishes that what I think of as I look into the sky becomes reality...a prediction of the future.
Haayy, ayoko na maging confused, dahil indi naman ako confused. In fact, I think I have a rare strong grip of myself that allows me to control my temper and as well, my desires...so parang pag asar na ako I laugh na walang dahilan...and when I'm happy, I smile and contain my laughter. Malakas ang restraint ko I tell myself that, mahirap ako matinag.
Well, it does not work most of the time in my favor. Here are the reasons.
1. My friends think I'm weird when I lapse into those phases of laughing na alang dahilan or bigla na lang bibirit, while in truth I'm good old me with my OA tendencies.
2. I lose focus on what I should be doing...like STUDYING.
3. I develop self-pity. I harbor depressing thoughts.
4. I become vulnerable.
5. I...I...it's been always about me.
Bottomline...get real! I do not want to sacrifice my ideals and dreams, but I do not want to end up alone in Mars as a dreamer who lost touch of what is given and needed. We have our own desires, our own wishes for deviance, so that we try to rationalize and say that I'm good. But we're not, life is painful and should not be treated with illusions. That is my fault, my cure for something hard and pressing is soft...that should not be.
Soft things are meant for soft time, hard things not all bad...but alloted for hard time.
Anlabo...I guess drag nanaman to, but heck, that's me! I could be proud or unamused.
May God bless you with your own Mars to look forward to and friends such as mine to remind you that the path there is not meant for you to take alone.
True, to much is given, much is required. But hey, we're all given much, yung iba kinarir ang pagpunta sa Mars...yung iba di kinaya kaya nakontento sa buhay na mababaw, at yung iba wais...saludo ako sa inyo!
