Just Because

Porque
Performed by: Maldita

***

Tulala lang sa’king kwarto
At nagmu-muni-muni
Ang tanong sa’king sarili
Sa’n ako nagkamali

Bakit sa’yo pa nagkagusto
Parang bula ika’y naglaho

Chorus:
Porque contigo yo ya iskuji
Aura mi corazon ta supri
Bien simple lang iyo ta pidi
Era cinti tu el cosa yo ya cinti
Ta pidi milagro, vira’l tiempo
El mali hace derecho
Na dimio reso ta pidi yo
Era olvidas yo contigo

Ang lahat ay binigay ko
Ngayon ay sising-sisi
Sobra sobra ang parusa
Di alam kung kaya pa

Wag nang lumapit
At tumawag pa at baka masampal lang kita
Di babalikan
Magsisi ka man
Ako ay lisanin

Porque contigo yo ya iskuji
Aura mi corazon ta supri
Bien simple lang iyo ta pidi
Era cinti tu el cosa yo ya cinti

Bakit ikaw pa ang napili
Ngayon ang puso ko ay sawi
Kay simple lang ng aking hiling
Na madama mo rin ang pait at pighati

Sana’y magmilagro
Mabalik ko
Mali ay maiderecho
Pinagdarasal ko sa’king puso
Na mabura na sa isip ko


Before the day ended, I got a text from my friend:  "When one is in love, the only thing that makes sense is everything between them. But when one is in deceit, everything around them makes sense." 

But it's not as though I had been deceived. In truth, I was the one who was too blind to see everything that was happening around me. All the clues were laid out before me, I was merely preoccupied with my own assumptions, which basically made me end up on the "losing side". Somehow, though, the experience has taught me to be more observant, to be more keen, and stay on track. It does not help at all to assume facts or endings by simply relying on the words uttered; the sugar-coated praises, or manipulative remarks, or misleading conversations. 

One must always be wary of what others say, be it in their nature, or simply a whim. Try to be as objective as you can, empathize, put yourself in his/her shoes, and see the bigger picture. Try thinking out of the box and see where everything is going based on the signs given out. Doesn't hurt to be careful so you won't get hurt. Emotionally speaking, coming from a prideful creature whose ego had been grabbed by the head and dragged across the wall to bleed and crack open the skull.

They say it is impossible to keep emotions from interfering with work. I believe otherwise. In one way or another, emotional burden or mental stress can greatly affect one's performance on a job. And it sucks that such a little thing has racked my brain so hard it turned into mush. SNAP.

Melancholic Lights



Melancholic Lights.
The morose glow is dim,
Beauty, bleak.




Somber river of lights.


Photos are extensions of what the eyes have witnessed; the emotions in them, reflective of what is felt within.

So I will never forget the day a massive weight slammed down on one side of the scale that threw everything off-balance:

Even just with that single droplet
I just might be able to protect the flower
It’s your smiling face, and with that alone
I can even reach out my hands
If you gather up those trembling voices
You just might be able to start a wind
Light the fleeting glow known as your life
And move your feet forward

La la la la la la la la lan
Let’s meet again someday
La la la la la la la la lan
As long as we’re still alive

What are my overflowing thoughts
That overcome time yet get caught by it?
Where are those people now?
Who keep kindness in corners of their eyes

There’s a new seat next to me
We’ll meet again for the sake of the future
Let’s try living through the day known as today
For as long as we can without façades
It’s sad and painful for people
Nevertheless, their roads continue endlessly

La la la la la la la la lan
Let’s meet again someday
La la la la la la la la lan
As long as we’re still alive

La la la la la la la la lan
That which the wind carries
La la la la la la la la lan
Is a melody that opens up tomorrow

La la la la la la la la lan
Let’s meet again someday
La la la la la la la la lan
As long as we’re still alive

La la la la la la la la lan
That which the wind carries
La la la la la la la la lan
Is a melody that opens up tomorrow

The scale is broken. It's time to bite down the tears, forget the empty words spoken, and revert to the old ways.

Waiting, Yet Fleeting


Hanging by a metal thread: The fleeting life of a raindrop before it hits the ground.


*edit*
Today, a lot of things have happened. It has been a long day full of laughter and endless talks, but as I succumbed into the night, all the negative emotions have started pouring in. This photo probably pertained to my emotions, at the most. No matter how desperately cling onto that metal thread, a sliver of hope before the emotions shatter, a single tap was what I needed for everything to break. For an instant, a tear had dropped and vanished all the same. Where it had been is nothing but a void. Empty. Dead.

Orb, Sliver, Ray


Yet another familiar atmosphere lingers in our midst. But instead of feeling elated with the streets and malls being lit up, I actually feel a bit lonely. For some reason, there's that thought nagging in my head: "Where had the fun and special Christmas gone to? Where had the great anticipation waiting for St. Nicholas run off to?" That "special day" hadn't  been the same... for seven years now.
