Kung Bakit ako Tamad Magmahal

I lost love once.
I walked around the whole next day
with haze following my every gaze.
My every breath was dry and the air
seemed to cut through my throat just to
remind me that I had not forgotten to wake up.
Sleep was where I brought my soul
when I grew tired of running after him in my head. But
I never really stopped. And
once I awoke only to find a stranger in the mirror,
My face so defeated by gravity.
My youth, it seemed, had hopped
on days like they were years and
thought of no way to return. And
if not for it all, I would not be so grateful
to have discovered the strange comfort of crying
with my head lodged through my car's steering wheel.

You say "I love you" is not enough.
But I tell you it is.
Because for a time I waited for those words
to return, but they never did.

Fast One

This made me smile.

Mom: [Liquidus], can you and Steph be in charge of ice-breakers sa youth camp?

Me: Like how?

Mom: Bahala kayo. Do parlor games and get-to-know people kind of games.

Me: Baduy naman. How about fire eating?

Chael: Or chainsaw juggling?


My little bro is turning out to be quite a witty rascal. I'm so proud. :)

W-He-R-E I-S T-He Li-O-V-E???

Five years in college and one of the most profound things I learned is this:

I…HATE…CHEMISTRY.

There.

I said it! The course I chose to love is really my greatest object of disgust. SURPRISE SUPRISE!

Once and for all, I would like the world to recognize chemistry for what it really is – MATH...with a good helping of Physics, which is, coincidentally, also MATH. Also, Quantum Mechanics and Electrochemistry are actual tools of the devil.

You can call it burn-out, but really, I think it’s just me starting to be smart. Where the f@#k am I gonna go with BS-Chemistry? I honestly have no f@#king clue! I don’t know why I subject myself through so much hell for a future so unsure. I feel like trapping myself in an unventilated garage and turning the car’s ignition so I can slowly and peacefully die of asphyxiation via carbon monoxide poisoning.

How’s that for applied chemistry?
