Naghintay ako sa airport. Napakabilis ng oras. Nag check-in agad ng luggage ang kapatid ko dahil 1-hour na lang before her flight. Sabi nya pumasok daw ako sa Cathay Pacific baggage check-in counter area at kahit takot ako dahil passengers lang ang allowed doon naglakas loob na rin akong pumasok. Buti hindi ganon kahigpit that day or else wala na akong chance makita si Jhona bago sya umalis. When I saw her, I felt the sudden emptiness parang a part of me is missing. Agad kong niyakap ang kapatid ko. Actually, I was supressing my emotions kasi hindi naman emotional mga tao sa paligid ko -Mark, Cathy, Mohamad, Tita Janet, and Tita JM. When the time has come to bid our goodbyes....hindi ko na talaga mapigil ang tears from falling. I kissed my sister while saying 'ingat ka ha...mahal na mahal ka ng ate...mami-miss kita ng sobra' then Tita JM also cried kasi pauwi na rin sya and she won't be coming back. Cathy followed in tears with her mom Tita Janet. Nag-drama kami sa airport. When my sister walked away, I was watching her every step until she was out of my sight.
At home, I sat on my sister's bed. I remembered our memories together. Yung mga hardships namin then yung mga napagtatagumpayan namin together. Yung mga times na wala kaming karamay but ourselves. Yung mga times na nag-aaway kami. Yung paglalambing nya...'ate, san ka na. uwi ka na kasi gutom na ko'
Neng, miss ka na agad ng ate. I thanked God kasi as this time kasama ka na nina nanay at tatay. lam ko masarap kain mo ngayon dyan. Senorita ka na naman!!! Ingat ka po dyan lage ha. At kaw na bahala kay nanay at tatay. love you so much bunso...muah!!!

SKIN DEEP
Synopsis: Kung karamihan sa atin ang pangarap ay gumanda. Hindi kasama sa listahan si Leila Avelino. Sa araw kasi na nagsaboy ng kagandahan sa mundo, nasalo na nya lahat. Bukod pa rito, si Leila ang nag-iisang tagapagmana ng mga Avelino. Napakabait din nito at isang huwarang kabataan sa kanilang lugar. Ngunit nang magkasakit ang amang si Mayor Lope Avelino, nagbago ang lahat. Hinihiling nito na malagay na sa tahimik ang dalaga. Labag man sa kalooban ay minabuti nyang sumunod...sa isang kundisyon.
Sa kanyang bagong buhay ay makikilala ni Leila ang mayabang na si Alvie Herrera at ang socialite nitong girlfriend na si Carlene Arcega. Si Pabs Tanjutco, ang balikbayang anak ng isang Congressman at si Maiko Rufino, ang scholar at anak ng campus caretaker.
Sino kaya sa kanila ang makakakilala sa tunay na Leila?

SOMEHOW
I wrote this poem as a reminder that our life is just temporary. It is borrowed from God. I hope we learn to say I love you to those people who care much about us....before they can never hear it or feel it anymore.
You were there all the time
Even I never noticed you
You brought me smile in my dark days
Even your heart was hurting too
You taught me how to be strong
While the fact that you were weak
You made me realized something
But it's now too late...
You'll never hear me say I loved you
For now you're colder than the snow
If I can only bring back the time
I won't waste it without you...
I will hold your hand next to my heart
I will kiss you each morning and night
I will do whatever you say...
Before you leave me and passed away...
No one will stop me now from crying
Like how you scold and how you frown
I will never ever forget you...
I wish you hear me somehow...
You were there all the time
Even I never noticed you
You brought me smile in my dark days
Even your heart was hurting too
You taught me how to be strong
While the fact that you were weak
You made me realized something
But it's now too late...
You'll never hear me say I loved you
For now you're colder than the snow
If I can only bring back the time
I won't waste it without you...
I will hold your hand next to my heart
I will kiss you each morning and night
I will do whatever you say...
Before you leave me and passed away...
No one will stop me now from crying
Like how you scold and how you frown
I will never ever forget you...
I wish you hear me somehow...
YOU CHANGED MY LIFE
At some point in our lives there will be that one person that will somehow change us without us knowing it...
Plot: It’s been 6 months since Laida Magtalas (Sarah Geronimo) won the heart of her prince charming Miggy Montenegro (John Lloyd Cruz) and it has been nothing but roses—she got promoted, Flippage is now in the same building where Miggy works and best of all, her hair looks better. To Laida, nothing can break her perfect world.
Meanwhile, Miggy also feels like he’s on top of the world. He is finally okay with his family and for the first time, he’s in a relationship that has meaning. He is slowly proving to everyone that he is indeed a work in progress.
But things are quickly proven not quite what they seem. Miggy gets promoted but is assigned in Laguna. Laida, on the otherhand, is being offered a job in Canada. With their careers leading Laida and Miggy to different paths, their relationship suffers from the pressures of being apart. Will Laida and Miggy be able to keep their happily ever after? Or will they realize, a little too late, that living the dream is actually harder than attaining it?
COMMENT KO: After the success of 'A Very Special Love', eto at pinapanood ko na naman sina Miggy at Laida. Now, there's a slight difference. I really enjoyed their first team-up pero sa 2nd movie ako mas naka-relate. It was like my own story. Miggy could be Benjie, a bit snobbish-insensitive, mysterious, but have a soft heart that never shows true emotions. Syempre ako si Laida- a person with a happy outlook in life, loving - to the point na gagawin ang lahat sa taong minamahal. Hmnnn...Si Macoy-ang bestfriend who loves Laida. At sino nga ba isang taong mahal ako pero hanggang friendship lang pwede? Si Bes yun. Naiyak ako sa story na to... coz before I watched it I have this question in my mind. Sino ba dapat 'mas' nagmamahal? Sabi kasi nila dapat ang lalaki ang mas nagmamahal pero pano naman yung mga guys na hindi kayang magpakita ng kanilang totoong nararamdaman? Malas ba ang mga babaeng umiibig sa tulad nila? Pero para sa kin hindi siguro dapat sinusukat ang pagmamahal...dahil kung may sukatan hindi na yun unconditional...

LOVE UNCONDITIONAL
A friend posted a bulettin on Friendster it was titled "Expect the worst" by idezz and this is my version of that comment:
Lahat tau iba-iba ang pananaw on how we deal on life and love. Siguro for me it's not on expecting the worst, i think it's better to see love as unconditional. I got hurt to the point that i was totally wrecked. Like idezz, i had much expectations. Ako kasi yung taong masyadong idealistic. What I learned with all those experiences is to love without expecting anything in return. Mahirap kung sa mahirap pero di ba pagnagmamahal ka naman walang mahirap. At kung masaktan ka man in the end, you need not to regret anything kasi you gave your best to make things work however it's not meant to be. Always put in mind that God has the best plan for you. Dont push your self when it is already over. Always save some love for yourself.
I hope this make sense to the readers. Salamat po.
