Probe TV Journal

it's been quite sometime already since i last visited my blog and make an update.
i was too preoccupied by the challenges and changes happening in my life today,
i could not even afford to look at myself for five minutes in front of the mirror,
or even scrub my whole body and then stay for an hour inside the bathroom.

the things and rituals i used to do before are slowly getting out of my daily routine
i sometimes hate myself for looking this way & for being born not so good looking

well insecurities really sucks! 

anyway since writing takes so much time, and i am too lazy to make another post just for this blog, starting from now i would be posting all my journal entries that we are doing every week as apprentice here at Probe.

Me, my beloved Ateneo and You

June na pala, aside sa malapit na naman ang aking kaarawan,  mas nalalapit na ang pasukan. So let me do this post that should be published months ago kaya lang di ko matapos tapos. Try ko nalang i-relate... Anyway, have you ever wondered why I choose Ateneo among other Universities here in Bicol or in the country?! Ganito lang naman yun... Kung pano ako nagsimula at nagtapos sa aking belabed na unibers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

It was never on my plan and never in my dreams to enroll in Ateneo. I was a high school student before who wants to become a nurse somewhere in the future (it's trending that time and it's the dream of my parents and relatives for me), so I decided to go for Sta. Isabel were the nuns are the rulers, given the thought that they produce the best nurses on earth and students will surely have a God driven life. Nevertheless, since I was a kid I always see myself wearing a white uniform at work (nurse, doctor, seaman, chef or a priest). But how come I end up in my beloved Ateneo?! And worst I did not pursue of becoming a nurse!

Simple! I realized I cannot afford to take the responsibilities given to a nurse. I might be one of the reasons why  death rate will increase in the near future. So as quick as the blink of an eye, I took the Ateneo's entrance exam in our school instead of the USI's qualifying exam. Luckily, the result was above average. Thanks to my seatmate, but unfortunately he can't come with me, his family can't afford the tuition fee or even the miscellaneous fee.

That's it, my mom accompanied me during the first day of enrollment without any course to choose in mind. In my admission form, I just put Nursing as my first choice, Education for the second and Development Communication as my last choice  (these were the only courses familiar to me) . However, during the interview segment, I suddenly changed my thoughts and picked AB-Communication as my final course. WTF t'was quick! But my mom had shown no violent reaction about it. I didn't even have any idea regarding the degree but i know it's about communicating to other people which is more likely to be a course where we will talk a lot.

Tadaaa!!! Officially enrolled in this very prestigious university in Bicol

Ateneo de Naga University
Nico John L. Dino
AB-Communication 
2008-1-0183

Like any other student that came from an uncivilized barrio and then suddenly went across rivers to study civilization...

The first day of my college life (ORSEM 2008), coming from an unknown and open-space public school, I was kinda afraid and nervous not because i'm scared of getting lost from the tall buildings that surrounds the campus, but because of the unfamiliar and strange faces that might belittle me. I feel so small and unnoticeable that very moment. I am so quite the whole time until I realized I went to a wrong group of students. It was the group of Education majors where I join, but I don't mind. As minutes, hours, days and years passed I finally found the right place in the university where i should belong (Media Studies Dept.).

That was a totally new environment for me and I really had a difficult start in coping up and adapting to people and norms inside the university. There was even a point where I already want to quit and leave the place because of the pressures it gives to me. Nevertheless, the journey and adventure that I had experienced in Ateneo was the most memorable scenario in my eighteen years of living. The four years, I feel like riding on a ferris wheel, there were a lot of turning ups and downs and sometimes I am stuck in the middle, those experiences made me stronger and even wiser, and of course to be men with and for others. I never regret at all, rather I am very very very thankful a hundred times that I came here in this university not just to study and learn but to experience the true essence of life and finding my own self.

Ateneo, its Jesuit education, has too many to offer to their students who are willing and persistent to learn. They not only give the right knowledge but also hone you as an individual. Will show you how to live a truthful and fruitful life. And will help you find you own self for you to be men and women for/with others. Sad for me because I was already in my mid year when I came to know and realized those things. However, that didn't stop me from still enjoying and fulfilling those things that I can still accomplish until my last year of stay. I did everything to expend all the amenities and opportunities granted to us. I can say that Ateneo and being a true-blooded Atenista is one of the best choice a man could make.

Hence, in every journey... it has to end at a certain point... a point where you are forced to stop for a while and decide which path to take, and all you can do is to thank back the people who will be left behind.

Finally, YES with a deep sigh! HOORAY with a doubt! and HALLELUJAH with full of hopes! I am a Graduate of Bachelor of Arts in Communication...

See how happy I am as I went across the
four pillars and  received my fake diploma

And to quote Ate Abby: "Probably if not everybody, at least most who graduated last night was as happy as I am, but I still want to believe that my happiness is special on its own way. Though it also scares me because graduating in college means starting a new beginning and new beginning is hard, I still cannot deny the happiness that surface on my heart. I never thought that I was able to make it possible, finishing it on my own."

Indeed, the graduation rites was very one of a kind and very memorable, and all at the same time giving a burst of peculiar happiness. It was raining and we were soaked wet with our togas and caps. We were like kids playing under the cold and slight heavy rain. The happiness I was feeling was kinda strange because even though I cannot describe what it feels like. It may not be genuine happiness, maybe a feeling of happiness that is filled with different emotions all at once. However, the most important thing to me was I know I am happy because I see my classmates, mentors, relatives and of course my parents indeed happy for me.

After sleepless nights of studying just to pass all the Math subjects, after memorizing lessons in our Theology subjects, after chasing the deadlines just to finish the school requirements, after several weeks of homesickness because I had to settle important matters, and times that I had to cry forcefully because I made a huge mistake. After all these worthy shits, I can proudly say that I did it with a big smile, I made it even without flying colors. Though I didn't get the Distinction in Communication and Cum Laude award that I wished to have, I’m still very glad that I passed all the subjects without retaking or getting an F or an AF marks despite being so stubborn. I am also proud to say that I know I had contributed even a piece of kindness in the university and in return the university made my every year stay in Ateneo worth remembering...

Need to ride on a boat to reach the community, and that
T-shirt I am wearing there still perfectly fits on me now! :)
Freshmen: Despite from being culture shocked, I did my very best to adjust and get along with the people. I studied harder to prove to myself that I am worthy to be called Atenean. Yeah! I am very serious at this time. And what made me very happy was, for the first time I got a grade of 90 in my Basic Algebra subject and I think I was the one who got the highest (also the highest in my history of Math). I did not expect it at all because I am too slow like a snail when it comes to problem solving. Maybe it's because I always carry the bag of our professor. Anyway, joining outreach activities was also my first time here.


Remember the time when we all wanted to become
a professional photographer and own a DSLR.
Sophomore: By this time, I am still finding my own reason why I should pursue my course. Several times I asked and visualized myself to what future was waiting for me. I couldn't even find my passion and interests here. However, photography class came and gave the reason why I should stay. I was deeply in love with photographs and cameras. On the other hand, I also started to build strong bonds with my peers and decided to join an organization (College Guidance Center) which serves as my home and comfort zone inside the campus. Definitely, photographs and the place which we call "Lungga" enlightened and gave me a fresh start.

During the shoot of the epic episode of "Bonsai"
Missing the Feeling Nuts Production and overnights
Junior: I can consider this as the best year in my entire college life. I think this has been a roller coaster ride for me, from being happy and sad  to being down graded by others and getting up to give a good fight. Slowly all my dreams came into reality. From theater arts presentation, community communication, volunteer activities, making our own self-produced videos, our internship experience to mention, and so on and so forth that unleashed our potentials as Communication majors. This was also the time where the make or break friendships happened. Definitely this was a total fun and a lot crazy experience.

Last day sa belabed unibers...
Senior: This is also one of the most memorable year because I had to endure and overcome all the obstacles that hinder my growth and success. Thanks to all the people who helped me and stick with me all the time. I cannot mention all of you pals but you all know who you are. Thank you very much because in my last year of stay here in the university I found many people that are all worthy to be treasured. Anyway, I would like also to express my deepest gratitude for accomplishing our Thesis. That was one hell of a masterpiece in one way or another.

I cannot put everything into one post, but I guess what I have written above were somehow enough  to ease and express the uncertainty I'm feeling right now (including grammar loss). And to quote a friend again "This journey will not be complete without the people who were part of this ride. I still have that graduation hang over but I think I have to thank the long list of people who were part of my ride to finish line. The people whom I laugh with, I cried with and the people who whole heartedly understand and supported my endeavor."

ANG SAYA MAGING COLLEGE - HINDI AKO MAGSASAWA
______________________________________________________
I'm now ready leave and for the last time turn my back to bid goodbye to my college life. Thanks for the memories. I'm gonna miss those times I was a college student of Ateneo. *crying hard nowwwww!



Natuto na ko!

alas! you noticed it already, though i don't want to do such thing but i think it's needed
and i was never wrong, at least today you already see how worthy i am in many ways
i am bad and i am perfectly good at it, you still don't know how fierce and wild i am
sorry but i really mean it, it's not for you to suffer but to realize and for you to discern

how dare you to accuse me of loving coz of money, i am richer than you and your guys
in the first place i loved you before thinking you'll be able to give me that little amount of love
that small ounce of genuine love and care that i am longing to experience in the real life
however, you fail me but hope you see i never leave you, and i've learned a lot from that

honestly, i don't know what to say now, it's all up to you to bring back to what has loss
just keep in mind that whatever happened i never leave you, you're the one who betrayed me
i will always be here, i may not be the same like before, but i will be true to you until the end
thank you  for letting me change for the better and how i wish i could tell you this personally

thank you indeed for making me better and for keeping me stronger, i owe these to you
maybe i still like you but not as much as i like and love you very much going back to the past
thank you again, that for once in my life you let me took the risk in love though it didn't last
of course i can also say that you're lucky too to have me and i will never ever come back

i would not be doing it again coz that was all enough, i am too scared already to take the risk
you'll be the only person and the the last to do such thing on me, i will not let it happen again
just want you to know that loving is not easy, and as one friend told me, never played with love
it's really hard to be ignored and to feel unloved while you keep on loving and loving and loving

you're the most worst possible person to love, but darn, i was able to love you!
you've cause a lot of troubles already a long time ago but it was not an issue anymore
as a matter of fact i am thankful to you for letting me down, see i'm stronger and better
but i am not as brave as i am before, still i will always be here for you to count on

and if you think this is already goodbye, for me this is not yet the end of everything
you've been one of the the worst and the best part of my entire living, it will remain here <3



"siguro namate ko man talaga an pagpadangat mong totoo,
kaya lang kulang kumpara sa  kakadikit na hinahagad ko."



proud son


Dear Mom:

Sorry for being too selfish. Sorry for not giving you the utmost joy a mother could experience this graduation. Sorry for disappointing you this time. I fail you! I was not able to met your expectation even though you did not ask for it. Mom, I sincerely apologize because I know you did your part as a parent and exerted so much effort just to send me to this prestigious university. But all I did was to chill and jerk around.

Still, mom I want you to be proud of me like the good all days when you always get tired of going to stage with me to receive ribbons and medals. Mom, this time though I don't have any award to receive in my graduation day I still want you to be there watching me as I cross the four pillars. I want you to know that you're my biggest treasure and award. Just with you're presence, I don't care anymore if I ain't got those fuckin' laude and distinction. Mom, you're always the best consolation for me.

If I could only shout in front of thousand heads on the 24th to tell them I have you at this very moment, I surely will. Mom, if I could only turn back time to redeem my grades, i will be very willing to go back. But you know i can't. Mom though I fail you, I also want you to know that you never fail me. You're the biggest inspiration why I still push for college and graduate this March with a happy heart.

Mom, on the 24th even though you will not be able to walk beside me on the stage, I will rise and walk very very proudly because my mother is down stage still supporting her little boy. I love you Mom! :'))



Lovingly yours,
Nunu


P.S.
this goes also to my family and relatives, love lots guys!


*pffft*

Four days remaining and my college years will be over. I can't imagine how the four years have gone so fast. My jar of memories isn't full yet. Wish i could have done more and experience things which i think would help me as a person. Indeed, regrets and disappointments hovers above my psyche and i couldn't comprehend my thoughts now. It's been four years and i think i haven't done much big for my self and for everyone. *Hell yeah* Nothing else to do about it, only four days remaining and of course it's not enough to fill up that four long years. I'll just go straight and let happy thoughts flow and enjoy this very moment with people i endear most.

let me share this life and let me fly high, i'll show you why Nico deserves your smile. :'))


lost in LAB

Out of nowhere i suddenly feel blue. There's something which i can't understand within me. It's been quite a long time since i blog about my heart and consult if it's still beating. Instead of talking about how my Valentine's day went out "umeksena na naman bigla ito <3 in the most unexpected time. I suddenly asked myself "KAILAN KO KAYA MAHAHANAP ANG TRUE LOVE KO?" It's kinda corny and peculiar but i wasn't able to find myself for how many minutes that i ended up listening to sad musics.

I am a loner and they say i can live just by my self. I don't know! Maybe people see me as a strong and independent person. But like any other human being in this crazy wild world, i also need someone whom i can lean on and whom i can run to if i feel scared and when in doubt. It's hard you know but sometimes i am already used to it.

Just by myself i carry all the sad emotions which i cannot utter to anyone. Hindi ko na nga rin alam kung pano pa umiyak. Insensitive na yata ko masyado sa sarili ko kasi hindi ko na alam kung tao pa ba ako na marunong umiyak dahil nasasaktan at nalulungkot.

I'm not that kind of guy. I am not the typical man who lives his life to survive and to find true love. I am someone who wakes up everyday trying to explore new things and finding what's the real meaning of happiness. Neither i am after love, i am not after what love can offer me but i am after to how love can be so true for a person like me.

I am vague! And so be it. I just want to express what's within me...

I am capable of loving but not more than to how much i love myself. I love and endear people but not to the extent that i'll love them forever. For me everything has its limitations and boundaries. Thus, you cannot have everything all at once.

I am dreaming of a love that's like this and like that. A love which will make you stop in the middle of the rain. A love which can create unexpected performance from you. A love which can turn you into something brighter than sunshine. LOVE that can show more than the wonders you see. But this love sometimes, as others say, is not enough.

*I want to cry now* but no tears drop from my eyes.

Now i just want a love to prove me that "i CAN", i can do the things i thought i can't and that i can be HAPPY whichever road i choose to go.

I am talking too much of nonsense.


Thesis Defense Over


Finally THESIS Defense is over. I don't know how to say this but i'm happy and at the same time sad. Maybe because for how many months Thesis was my daily routine and it keeps me awake. But now, we're almost through with it. Parang di lang ako makapaniwala na sa hinaba haba ng prosisyon, sa grabeng pasakit na aming pinagdaanan, at sa sakit ng ulo tuwing gigising sa umaga, parang dumaan lang at di ko napansin. Honestly, i was expecting too much, i was expecting to be challenge and i was expecting a bit traumatic experience. Ewan basta yun yung feeling ko, masyadong naging mabait sakin ang Thesis kahapon at di ko yun gusto. Kahit di man ganun kataasan ang grade namin, pero alam mo yun may kulang, hindi sa grade pero sa ibang aspeto na hindi ko malaman kung saan ba nanggagaling ang paghihimutok kong ito. Siguro salamat nalang sa lahat ng suporta. Salamat sa lahat ng tao na tumulong. Salamat sa mga kaibigan na nagbigay lakas at inspirasyon. Salamat sa dalawa kong kagrupo na alam kong pinagtiisan ako ng sobra, dahil sa kanila siguradong ga-graduate ako. Salamat din sa guro namin sa lahat lahat. I JUST MISS THE FEELING!

MANibela Productions all hail to us...
still i believe we were one of the best
another 2 thumbs up for the three of us
good job! good job! ^_____^


run dry

days pass-by & as i get near the finish line
the road simply gets darker and narrower
and now little by little i can't see the way
it's also getting difficult to make any move
i'm afraid to get hurt, to stumble and to fall
how i wish i could fly and turn back the time
where my childish thoughts are never gone by
no THESIS, no HASSLE, no LOVE PROBLEM
only playmates, daydreams and dirty hands
...
....
.....
i wish everything in my mind will soon be fine
let be my guiding star and keep close to my side
so i could reach safe to the FINISH LINE. ^___^


tiis = tisis

gaano man kahirap ang bawat pagbangon ko sa araw-araw

kailangan kong tumayo mula sa pagkakahimbig at maglakad

harapin ang lubak-lubak na daan at mga tampalasan sa gubat

di maiwasan masugatan, masaktan at mapuno ng iyong galit

di naman kasi pwedeng tumigil, sa paglalakbay ay mahuhuli

alam ko namang hindi ako nag-iisa, marami kami't sama-sama

sige lang kayod lang at sa huling yugto makikita ang bahaghari

doon magsasaya kasama ang mga diwata at diyosa sa kalupaan

magdidiwang sa kasipagan at sa kagalingan na iyong ipinamalas

HUWAG KANG SUMUKO, KUNDI SA HULI IKAW AY TALO!


iamGOOD

It's my first post this month of November and i have not planned to do it this way. Instead i want something related to what happened to me last All Saints Day, but to keep in track i'll do my best to insert the woo-woos regarding to that matter and since the story i am going to tell you was before, during and after Halloween. Sorry in advance for the grammatical errors that i will make, i'll try to write in straight English.

Before Halloween
Some people might don't have the idea that i had given up love for i think four months already. I was hardly and badly hit by an unfortunate love affair (as i may say but don't get me wrong LOL). It hit straight all throughout my psyche that i was able to tell my self not to love anymore. I also had this thoughts in mind not to marry in the future because i do really admit i was not a good lover at all and that no one can stand along with me for too long. Yes, it's so sad on my part but as i said to my self and as expected I choose to get hurt when i choose to be in love and that what am i experiencing today is the consequence of letting my emotions overrule my sanity. But what else could be good if the happiness you want was in that the same person whom you cannot be with for the rest of your life. You'll be willing to sacrifice even a little bit of everything just to be with that person. Whatever to me! Because she was never mine, we're not always together, i don't know exactly what kind of relationship we had, but surely she was one of my sweetest whatever. And that made me think of her for once in a while, like recently before Halloween came I was really hoping if i could see that same person i'd go crazy enough. And that hope turns to be that way. We were able to meet discreetly (take note discreetly not secretly LOL) No matter how many times i told myself not to bother and be involve with her anymore, i couldn't resist because i found comfort by her side. Yes, i am afraid of loosing grip for the second time yet my heart is still willing to open its door to the same person who might not be willing and able to take good care of it but absolutely will able to keep it beating. But i know this time the best way to avoid heart ache while staying close to her is to stay just as friends. Hence, i was very glad to meet her again and was able to hear from her alluring lips the words "I MISS YOU SO MUCH". As much as i want to reply, it's a no no, i want to hold back as long as i can. No matter how much i want to kiss and hug her i am scared that my efforts to become a better person for the last few months will just put into waste. I'll just keep myself to where i should be and don't linger anymore to my failures - mostly because of her. I'll just stay as a good friend to her, try not to fix what has been damaged and let go of what had happened, or else i might end up crazy. I think we're good as friends - talk about silly things, annoy and tickle each other and what friends usually do. I am happy that i am not bitter anymore since i got the chance to meet her again even just for a little while. Moreover, sometimes it's nice to forgive people no matter what they did just for the simple fact that you still want them be in your life.


During Halloween
I think i wrote too much already... And i'm already hungry... Eating... And i'm done eating... I think i also lost the spirit of writing about this thing but i'll try hard. Actually every year i look forward in celebrating Halloween because i always got the chance to see my old friends at least for this day - spend too much time hanging around, buy some liquors and brag anyone's achievements. But this year, i was not able to meet any of them. I don't know why or maybe because i was busy spending quality time with my family and relatives. Nevertheless, none in the group bothered to call or even text me to come along with them. Twas okay, i'm just being pathetic. Anyway, this year's Halloween was one of the most meaningful ever, since i was able to give the kids their treat instead of tricks and i was able to go home to my hometown to share special moments with my family. I had realized how caring and loving was mom towards me. I am so lucky to have her so with my father who is very diligent and hard-working though i know among all his siblings my younger brother was his most precious baby and i am the least. My elder brother has been always good every time he'll try to make a conversation while my younger brother keeps on teasing me. I feel so blessed to have them all in the verge of my distorted life. If you could just read this post, i really mean it Ma, Pa, Manoy and Kim. I love you guys!


After Halloween
I'm already enrolled by this time and i suddenly miss my good friends back in Ateneo. For the past 4 years of my life they have been witnessing how i grew up and preach as a man. They saw me laughing out loud, get angry, upset and once see me crying (if that's really the case) They've been occupying a big part on me already that sometimes i am very scared of being lonely. I love the way we hugged each other and sometimes give each other a kiss on the cheek. I just love the way these people love the way i am without no condition. They were also the reason why i once told myself not to fall in love anymore because i already have them beside me. You know guys who you are. You all are one of the best. On the other side, after Halloween we went to the cemetery to visit the in loving memories of _______ and _______ and _______ and _______ and etc. LOL We are missing you guys but my Aunts will surely have their heart attacks due to severe shock/scare if you'll dare to visit us.  LMAO The family count are decreasing already so i must start making more babies now. WTH? What i was thinking after Halloween was the things after i leave this world. Honestly, i am not afraid of death, what am i afraid of was the thought of easily forgotten by the people without leaving them a sort of legacy that will make my name memorable and a proof that i live my life earnestly. That's the thing i am learning to make all throughout my life if you would mind to ask. And if i die someday i am really serious about having my body cremated and send a portion of it to the moon. That's was way cool than being buried and decomposed after a year. I would like my ashes float in the ether and fall to the moon after a year. I heard it and saw it personally on TV, and said it would cost about 200,000. If i could just do it myself why not. Anyway after Halloween i got again the chance to see her. Of course to some point I am happy especially knowing that she's been looking for me all day long and that she really wants to see me for no valid reason. I don't give meaning to that since we already cleared each other as friends. I really like the way i get speechless whenever i see her and the way she tease me for being so conscious about myself seeing her. It's also good that for the first time she was able to see my family and relatives who are very supportive to me and that i already regain myself from the troubles she made. She's not anymore my life like what i used to say before, but she's still a part of it i'm sure because she taught me how to give without asking for any return. I am tired already writing this entry and i still have to wake up very early tomorrow. So that will be enough for now.

unREASONable

di ko sinasadyang mahalin sya, minahal ko lang sya dahil nagbigay sya ng rason para mahalin ko sya.
wala namang kakaiba ng una kong makita ang simpleng picture nya
ni hindi ko nga napansin ang natatanging kagandahang taglay nya pala
nais ko lang makipagkaibigan at makipag-usap, walang halong pagnanasa


ilang buwan na halos ikaw ang ka-text, siguro wala lang mapaglibangan
o sadyang tayong dalawa lang ang nakakaintindi sa ating pinagdadaanan
hanggang sa unang pagkikita dun na ako nakaramdam ng something special


wala naman sa plano ko ang pumasok sa isang relasyon, masaya na ako
sapat na sa akin ang natatanggap na pagmamahal mula sa mga kaibigan ko
kuntento na ako sa kung ano man ang meron at mga bagay na wala ako


ewan ko ba, dati naman kasi lahat ng tao pare-pareho lang ang tingin ko
ewan ko ba, hindi ako marunong magmahal at pumuri ng ibang tao
ewan ko, hanggang sa isang araw biglang nag-iba na ang mundo ko


ewan, di ko namalayang unti-unti na akong nabubuhay kasama mo
ewan, di ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na mahalin ka pa hanggat kaya ko
ewan. di na ako yung dating ako na madalas sarado sa tunay na mundo


binigyan mo ako ng dahilan upang buksan ang sarili at mahalin ang tulad mo
binigyan mo ng katuparan ang isang bagay na akala ko hindi magkakatotoo
binigyan mo ng pag-asa at kulay ang mahalagang parte sa buhay ko


ikaw ang nagturo sa puso ko na magmahal ng totoo, higit pa sa inakala ko!
pero ikaw rin ang nagbigay ng rason upang sarilinin ko muli ang mundo ko.
SORRY sa una palang mali na ako, di ko sinasadyang mahalin ka at masaktan ng ganito.



beginningLIFE

For many stories that have been told already, about people and the great things they did, may it be about art, war, excellence, leadership or something of big big pride, their great lives started from the day they were born up to the day they close their eyes. But for individuals like me, who looks the same as everyone around me, it’s different… a lot different. My real life did not start from the day I was born but instead, it started when I became part of a world different to mine, completely strange.

I admit that high school wasn’t really about school for me. It was about being a kid at the same time an adult. Where I did what I wanted to in the extent of my limitations. From friends to hang-outs, those were the life of teenagers. Non-stop fun was the scenery even if it is in the brink of quarterly exams. We kids are just unstoppable. But everything has endings, after we graduated, the fun was said to be just beginning but for us, it was the last of our happy days.

That was my so called life, but there was no meaning. Just like for toddlers where nothing is good or bad, they just do what they want since they still don’t know the rules in this world. So there it was, the fun we had vanished slowly, but I tried to bring the fun along with me. In the sense of I still don’t want to let go of my childhood and embrace the responsibilities of adults alike. Up to now, I don’t know how it happened but eventually, I managed to be the responsible person I imagined I would be.

And it all started in college, when I entered in this prestigious institution. Here, it is different, really different, not because religion was involved, but here, real life awaits me. The earlier time of my life was just fun, no grief, pain or suffering. It all started here, where I saw the things around me. And still, it is a continuous effort to live and deal with them for the rest of my life. Nakakapagod lang minsan but then again I have to push through because this is what they call life; continuous struggle to survive.

My beginnings will soon start again after five months. I feel so weak and exhausted already. Give me sun, give me rain, give me love, give me someone to love, or could you give me just another happy day. :(


just what i FEEL


Oftentimes I feel exhausted
Sometimes I feel I’m sick,
Can’t even move a finger
Can’t even barely speak
—————
It seems I haven’t eaten
It seems I haven’t slept
My body just can’t take it
Everything i tried to keep
—————
They think I need a doctor
I beg to disagree, bro
I know my own illness
I know my remedy
—————
These things that I have told you,
Those things I seem to feel
Sometimes it just break me
But they are not that real
—————
I just want some attention,
A hug or maybe two or three
I just need some comfort,
Maybe I just need you
—————
I can’t help but feel them
So that you’d give me care,
Or those sweet thoughts that gives me
The smiles you make me wear
—————
Maybe not exhausted
Maybe I’m not sick
Maybe those are child’s play
Maybe those are fantasies
—————
Just so that you would notice
How badly I miss you,
Just so you would know
I’m lonely without you.

*big sigh* again last night!

Indeed, life is not about looking back and wishing that today is the same with the past. Life is about moving on, accepting changes and looking forward to what makes you stronger and more complete. Life is sometimes about letting go, setting free the things that makes you unhappy and does not deserve to stay in your life anymore.

Last night, we had a plan to visit my friend in their house because her father was dead. It was already 11:00pm when i arrived for i have to travel back in our town because i have my class in the city. I was not able to join them in the ride going to the wake place, and just when i enter the place i noticed some of the eyes were looking at me. I cannot held my head up and i was already unease with the feeling. And finally one of my friend tapped me in my back to say Hi, i think she's the only one who was able to recognize me. I don't know where to position myself in the crowd.I feel like i'm a different person. The people i expect to be there have left already a minute before i reached the place. So i just sit on a chair observing people discreetly.

First, i saw a friend who used to hold my hand before - even the first time we met. We're no longer close maybe because we never keep ourselves intouch with each other. I never pushed to chat with her but as i looked at her, she grown into a beautiful lady but her aura stays the same and she's still the friend i met years ago. I also heard her saying 'si nick' and caught her glancing at me as if she want to talk. We never did, i'm too aloof to start a conversation and besides i don't know too much about her.

Also, i saw a relative-friend whom i never had a close companionship since high school. There's no problem with me, maybe he's just uncomfortable talking to me. He just say 'kumusta na nick?' but we're good friends it's just that we seldom talk. Happy to see that the man i knew before was still the man i know in the present. There's only few updates on him and sort of modification on a subject which is sensitive to discuss. I'm also happy to see him very happy and proud of what he is right now.I can see a good person in him, a true-lover and a nice friend.

Next, i saw familiar faces (some i forgot the names). They were all sitting around the table and as usual they all drink and smoke. They asked me 'nick madya na digdi kana magtukaw!' i refrained going inside the table. I even refused to drink and smoke. They already matured physically but the subject of their jokes were still the same. I could not relate and discuss what is on my mind. They could still laugh and bang each other like before. They rarely talk to me and seldom ask me for a picture. I don't know what's on my face that they were all afraid to talk to me. I never dared to socialize except with one new buddy who tries hard to communicate with me but everytime he talks i don't find any answer to myself.

Then, i saw my two former teacher in high school. They were still the same, they're still best friend, and their smiles never change. I found myself walking to where they stay. I greeted them and had a plain talk about me in college. They said 'oh mr. nick dino' you seemed to be a bit thin and look quite different. By the time they left they asked me to invite them on my graduation celebration. I said yes with a smile on my face.

And i saw my very good friend Tin-Tin. I'm glad to see her smiling even though it's very hard to accept the death of her papa. She's really Tin-Tin who cries hard, but after loosing for a bit she will surely be back as a strong and jolly woman. I hold her hand as much as i can because that's the only thing i could offer her. I don't even know how to comfort someone, so just before i leave i hugged her tight. However, what marked on my head was the phrase she told me "ibahon kana kaya nick!." Only four words but it created a big impact on my whole being.

*deep sigh*

To see all of them once again after years or months was a reenergizer to my heart. But what happened to me? I suddenly asked myself before going to sleep last night. Where is Nico now? How is he now? Who is Nico now?

Can someone tell me what's happening? Nico is still here. I am with you guys can't you see me. I always see to it that i go home weekly. I'm fine though not that so fine. I'm better and on my way to be the best. Don't you like it? I may completely change physically but i don't think it change also the real thing in me. Hmmmn it's just that i don't drink and smoke now, i don't talk when no one begins to talk to me, and i prefer to be away from the crowd. Yes i know you all change and so with me, but why is that the change that happened to me was different from your change? 

For once, i want to go back in the past where i am loved/accepted by everybody, happy and no worries, free and always excited, then i will just live there for the entire years of my life. I miss to be called 'NICK'.

Nick who use to be NICE, INNOCENT, CUTE and KIND. Apart from that, all i can remember are good things in his past. Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick where are you now? Everybody in the house is looking for you. They miss you a lot, they miss the real and the old you. We'll be waiting for you no matter what, because it's never to late to have a life and never too late too late to change one.

I know what and who is to be blame.
I'LL BE OKAY SOON. SMILE :DDD
