nasaan

ang sakit di ba ....

tinatawag kitang kaibigan...

pero lahat INAABANGAN MO LANG SA
FRIENDSTER.

isang gabi uupo tayo sa isang mesa,
kakain ... iinom, minsan kakanta pa,
at madalas tumatawa...

pero ... alam mo pa ba? me ginawa ka
ba?

sa akin masakit ...

pamilya ko, DOGNUTS, high school,
college, mga mars ko at mga bago ...
wala doon pero kahit pa hindi nila
naiintidihan ... eto ako .. salu salo
nila ...

... kaya nga eto uli ... isang
lamesa ... iinom ... tatawa ... tangap
ko na ... hanggang dun lang. KAYO.

... at pasensya na ... wala nang
kwento pa ... sa akin .. kay jhun ..
kay sophie ... ke xander ... ke gerry
boy ... kay ... at kay ...

kung saan na ang ngayon ... at saan pa
bukas ... kung sino ang kasama ko at
kung ano man ang ginagawa ...
imahinasyon mo na lang.

...minsang ang sarap lang isipin ...
na isang sandali sa buhay ko ... hindi
nyo alam ... ang luwag ng
pakiramdam ... ang luwag luwag ...

kasi naalala nyo ba ... nung
minsan ... na ang sikip sikip ...
nasan ka?

nasaan?

~~ my first attempt to write a prose in Filipino.

(...to my non-Filipino-speakin' co-blenders ... here's the English translation)

it does hurt ...

i call you friend

but everything now you just read from friendster

one night ... we sit in one table
dine ... drink ... singing
most of the time we laugh

but ... do you still know?  did you do anything?

it hurts me ...

my family, DOGNUTS, high school, college, girl friends, new ones ... were never part of it but even if they dont understand ... here i am ... safely cradled in their arms

so here we are again ... one table ... drinking, laughing ... i have accepted this, this is how it goes.  This friendship.

so please forgive me ... no more stories ... about me ... about jhun ... sophie ... xander ... gerryboy, about this ... about that ...

where is now ... how about tomorrow ... who i am with and what i have been doing .. just imagine everything.

... sometimes it feels good, a minute in my life, that you guys dont know, it feels so light so light

do you remember, that one time … too tight too tight. Where were you?

Where?
