Sa Mol, Nakita Din Kita
sa mol
nadoon ako kanina
maghapon
nagbabakasakaling andoon ka rin
kasi excited akong makita ka
ano na ba ang itsura mo?
gumanda?
pumayat?
umaliawalas ang mukha?
sa place na una tayong nag EB noon
doon ako nakatayo
bawat tao sa escalator
inaabangan ko
ngunit d ko nakita
anino mo man lang.
sa may elevator ako pumunta
nagtunganga
habang minamasdan
mga tao sa pasilyo
baka ikako andun ka
ngunit wala pa rin.
gumawi ako sa foodcourt
naalala mo ba
kung san tau nagdidate dati
tusok ng fishballs at kikiam
sabay sip ng palamig
na parang bang angus steak
and red wine sa mamahaling resto
tinitignan ko ang mga tao
kung andun ka
pero wala pa rin.
lumabas ako
humithit ng philip
nakadalawang stick yata ako
habang nagmamasid
sa mga passers by
nagbabakasakaling wala ka pa sa loob
at andun ka
ngunit ganun pa rin
di kita nakita.
ano ba talaga
'di ka man lang magparamdam
ahhh... isipin ko na lang
na nakita kita
dun sa may escalator, sa elevator, sa foodcourt
na miss mo ba ako?
ilusyon na lang
o mapait na katotohanang
wala na taung dalawa?
o kung meron pa man
bakit di ka magparamdam, sinta?
pahabol....
nakita kita sa terminal ng van....
may kasamang iba!

THOUGHTS AND NOT SO SIMPLE THOUGHTS
the crowd....
the trees....
the building...
the ambiance...
travelling for hours every day and looking at the same soothing views excites me most. the river that i pass by makes my thoughts go back in time as to where, six years ago, me and my friend, have to trod everyday of our lives in Tayug. and why not? i really enjoy the moments riding at the back of the motorcycle and having the view full in my eyes, with all the rain water on my face, and yet i could really hear myself laughing at the childish experience.
what is really amazing is that, when i came back to the school that has given me much opportunity to enhance my knowledge and talent, the place has changed a bit... and the town was almost unrecognizable. many were called but few agreed to stay, as they say, it has been a backward little town on the east of my province, but they were all proven wrong. malls had been erected, and there were some fastfood chains to boast. but that those were just some of the treats that this town would give.
when i first stepped on the campus, it is still the same that i have left years ago, but there are buildings, new and i could still smell the aroma, if that is what may i call it, of the cement. the building is roughly made, yet habitable, but with the efficient management, in a year or two, it would be much of use, and with facilities to boast.
i could still imagine the garter snakes falling to a crowd of women talking and sharing their lives one afternoon,when the winds suddenly blew hard, and with that, they just laugh it off without even being scared by the thought. or during the rainy and stormy days, pupils would bathe in the rain and play on the stacked rain waters in front of their classrooms, happily, and innocently. it is still fresh in my mind, us, the male faculty members would love to stay at the makeshift house made of light materials such as bamboos and corrugated galvanized iron, but still we are happy with it...as we could do nothing but to stay. the thought of going to attend the daily mass before going to attend my class is such an adventure for me, for, rain or shine, i would not fail to do so. there is so much more to tell.
i was so saddened when the school administration have said that i would be re-assigned to the campus after six years of being at the main. the thought of leaving the people that i have learned to love and to care for, and the students who have become my friends eventually, was the initial reaction to the pronouncement. but in a way, it had become a challenge for me. i just thought that everything has its reason and purpose.
and when the classes started, i was so surprised that the students were still warm in the welcome, as well as the faculty members were so warm and pleasing. i thought, i could adjust to the renewed environment easily, and i am slowly making a success to that.
i am enjoying the sights. i am enjoying the feel. i am enjoying everything. when it seems that everything is in its lowest, i will just think that i am going to make it. that is positive thinking. that is what my attitude is. i will never be alone because i am with friends to cheer me up, and i am with the nature. it is cool. it is wonderful. it is warm all at the same time.
