A piece of candy wrapper that I didn't dispose properly surely contributed to the mess that we now know as a national calamity. I am sorry.
I have been reading updates about the aftermath for more than an hour. Ngayon lang pumasok sa kokote ko kung gaano katindi ang nangyari. Ngayong may mga kakilala akong nasalanta mismo ng bagyo at baha.
Tama na sa negative vibes. Kung lahat ng negative vibes sa Pilipinas ay maging positive, isipin niyo na lang kung gaano kasaya at ganado ang lahat ng tao sa pagtulong.

I don't like wearing pants and Puff the Magic Dragon
I haven't worn a pair of pants for weeks already. I'd rather wear shorts or dresses or skirts. I like the cool feeling around my legs when they're all exposed. I don't care if I have marks on my legs.
Besides, I'm afraid I might not fit in my tight pants. Arrr. Hahaha.
------------------------
Mama told me the other day that Mary of Peter, Paul and Mary is dead. Their music completes my childhood memories along with listening to Shirley Bassey while in the car with my father and hearing Eraserheads for the first time in our stereo.
One of my favorite songs by that group is Puff the Magic Dragon.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah lee,
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah lee.
I was a loner as a kid. I played a lot on my own, having my own stories, aliases and the works. I would dress up complete with shoes and accessories. I'd make intricate stories about my character of the moment. She'd have a lover, a great career and a beautiful handwriting. She would solve mysteries, ride bike to work and have complicated family stories.
I miss that part of my life.
Besides, I'm afraid I might not fit in my tight pants. Arrr. Hahaha.

Trial and Error
Life has been like a long experiment. I try something and if it doesn't suit me, I make a mental note that that does not work and move on to the next adventure. This year has been full of surprises and I'm sure 2009 will have more for me.
I've tried a lot this year. I'll make a list once the year ends.
My life is starting to have structure. Aside from knowing what I don't want to do, I now know what I want to do. It's something that I have been rambling for the past two years. I'm taking little steps to get what I want. I'm trying to sort out my priorities especially with my moohlah. Although sometimes, I can't help splurging on myself like SHOES! and FOOD!
-----------
I was heading home from the rehearsal of Anna's opera, I'm her Production Manager, then on my way out of College of Music, there was fog everywhere. At first I thought my eyes have gone really bad, but the students at the entrance were talking about it and that's when I realized that there really was fog.
I didn't mind the cold while waiting for a jeep in my shorts and thin jacket get-up. Good thing I brought my scarf, I just don't want to lose my voice with the four shows this weekend. The jeepney ride wasn't eventful but somehow I felt giddy. Christmas season. I haven't been this excited about Christmas for a long time. It's not December yet but I am really excited to see christmas lights and wearing sweaters to fight the cold.
I am in a good place right now. I like where the universe has put me. I'm excited for the surprises it has for me for the rest of the year. I like this feeling, I don't feel lonely or useless.
Thank you '09. All's mine, indeed.
