A Day in Manila City Hall
Last December 10, 2009 I got to Manila city hall at 1400 to undergo panel interview for my hospital application. It started at around 1600! And the sequence of this interview was arranged based on our surnames, so I was called at around 1830. We are all hungry and pissed off there. Long waits as expected. In here I saw the sad reality polluting government institution the smallest way they can:
1. Backer system- the one with a strong political connection surely wins a hand.
2. Unjust treatment- the interviewee herself called the one who is supposedly next to me, thrown questions are bias. From pulse sites, family planning to MI, parameters of NB screening, some are personal fact finding.
3. Irrelevancy- it goes from singing the Maynila song, significant places in Manila and other sort of health related picks.
No standardization of questions= non-reliable system.
Invisible barriers of power wrapped our waiting area. I don't hope for any possibilities of being hired, it is hard to compete with something you know you can't beat. Wherever we go public/private institution, we can encounter such SOP, under the table transactions are very much welcomed.
From Dr.Martin, Dr.Yson, Ms.Ingrid- lessons learned:
1. Speak out- have the courage to open up as long as your stance is justifiable.
2. Fight for the truth- mistakes covered has no way of being corrected.
3. Small act can mean big- writing a simple incident letter gives an eye.
I may not be chosen to be a government employee but I'm still afloat for having this positive outlook in life. Things I didn't anticipated during my previous training left a scar in my fragility. Learning for me should still be a pleasurable experience and should not leave any disappointment inside, to love a place where I can sharpen my skills called my second home.

Broken Promise
I tried to understand your unacceptable attitude but you showed me worthlessness. How much pain do you need to pour on your victims? I don't even question you for making a fool out of me when it is so obvious that your reasons are too irrational and absurd! I know sooner or later you will still receive your karma on every false word you say against me. One day in your life, everyone who cares for you genuinely will be gone. You can never be happy, and you don't deserve to be. Life does not revolve on you alone! I only hope that it won't be the end of everything yet when you decided to seek realization.
You gave me so much pain. I don't know why I like you so much and now I'm wishing this to be down on drain. My soul felt so uneasy the moment I saw you. This feeling I cant explain, feelings I thought I can overcome. An unreachable dream I can't put on my hand whatever I do. When would it be me? There is no possible answer. I secretly yearn for you, I must admit. For the nth time you left me hanging with uncertainties, borrowed moments started to drift away. Your silence slowly kills me. This shattered pieces of mine you choose not to mend will give you five folds of pain in return. Deep inside of me lies a shorter patience for you, up until when will you test me?

No Title
My soul is searching for your presence as I wait for you to cut off your hibernation. Fortunate not to see that other side of you but given proper indicated precautions. I sometimes notice sudden changes but I don't have the courage to ask.
Deep within I feel your delicate and bleeding contents, silence does not baffle me. My heart froze in pain but it won't stop beating. I'm fidgeting inside out. I don't even want to think of any reasons, all I wanted is to help you hunch better.
I know I always hurt you with my numbskull even if you don't say so. What pains you certainly pains me too, hearing self-accusations of worthlessness hurts. I realized that I can't just slip away as I walk past briskly.
Inevitable pang rushing all throughout my veins, it clogged and overpowered me. No matter how much tear I shed, it will never be enough to mend what I broke. Your choice, the consequences I don't know. I'm sorry.......

Time
I just have to accept the fact that I'm your no one. Whatever I do, I will not own your heart. You know you're wanted so bad, I tried my very best to forget you and live my life in your absence. I asked but I don't get a response, you always leave me fragmented longing for that love. I don't want to be freed from your embrace as much as I can.
You broke your promise yet you denied, I can clearly see how inconsistent you are. You are still the same, nothing changed and things didn't got better as you reiterate it so as the stupid me to believe. I had so much pain to conquer hoping that my arduousity would take effect soon.

You
We shared resembling substances in term.
No reality checks to discover our legitimacy.
I gratify myself from that delightful solicitude.
Everytime you're hidden my heart feels so wary.
Losing you will probably rend my essence.
I can't even show my considerable appreciation.
Now I'm down in dumps awaken by a bad dream.
Hoping that farewell will be soon enough.

Recycled Emotions
Countless painful events I buried in disappearance kept on haunting the breakable me. Its a ghost on my supposed to be "better days" allowing me to recognize how I deniably mislaid my true feelings.
A man of integrity need not fear the truth. His make believe stints forges me to be gullible. Does hurting and dehumanizing me makes him a better man? I know that my affinity for this guy is futile, still I stick to imbecility.
Cupid casted a love spell for me to impel on this skit with a wrong person. I was so corrupted by his unconventional trap. Option me is present but he declined. Up until now I'm indisposed, why can't he do the same for me? Why am I treated so bad? What's the real deal between us? So many questions banging inside my head.
Yes, I'm blissful in his banal company even if arrows of deception are directly hitting me. If only I could stop the time and stay with him as long as I can. Now that we caught up with our loss space, my premonition for the next events kept on knocking. A juncture where he will be nil for a long time, it shows that he is not investing anything for me. I really hate it and it breaks me into pieces.
Reused but never reduced, my heart is ravaged with irrationally self inflicted grief..because it is just me, an aspect with no worth for him deviously sailing with my blameless choice for the third time.

Calamity Strikes
Who knows that there is an Ondoy typhoon signal #1 attacking Manila today (09/26/09)? I must have trembled to find myself alone amidst heavy rain. Like a shrivelled trash, no where to go, I felt so lost. The cold breeze that touches my damp skin makes it harder for me to calm down. Fields of people sank as we were stuck at the river roads.
My first time being stranded was terrible. Honestly, I don't know what to expect nor feel but this is not how the story goes. I am one of the luckiest gal on earth who was saved in this horrible situation by an angel in disguise. Where one can feel so helpless, I am guarded and accompanied no matter what. Thank you very much, this firsts will always be memorable to me.

Sleepless Nights
She hates the time before she goes to sleep, it's where the unavoidable starts to linger.. The second package with everything in it gave her all.. Doesn't demand nor starts a fight.. Doesn't play.. Loves deeply..
Many times she tried to forget him.. Lost her heart when he unintentionally wounded her.. She's starting to live with her own until he approached and appologized.. Now, she's trapped with this emotional bait again..
She cried, he gave her options to chose from.. She stayed and won't regret for doing so.. She's drowned in deep agony as he try to "rescue" her.. She followed her intuitions.. Stupidity in other's view.. She can control her feelings.. She just can't teach her heart..
Using his silver tongue.. He still wanted her to stay.. No time and effort allocated for her.. Is he really redeeming himself?
Action speaks louder than words.. If she is really important.. Find ways.. If not.. What else she is waiting for? A renewable heartache?

Unveiling Emanation
I gave my all entertaining the rough patches of this course just to lose everything. Miserable me being with someone who is half-baked about me, half-in? half-out?
Find somebody who wants me as much as I want him. Anything short of fiercly definite is a waste of time. Easier said than done.
Sometimes, I just have to try not to care no matter how much I do rather than to admit it's killing me. I can mean nothing to someone who means everything to me. It's not pride, it's called self respect.
Missing the person whom I used to laugh with, whom I turned to, whom sprinkled me with importance. Doubts springing..
- He likes me enough to take it up a certain level, but not enough to actually profess a formal romantic relationship. It's hard to pretend that I don't mind. I still don't have a counterpart.
- He likes the flirting and the attention, but he wouldn't want to be tied up. It's a painful fact that happens all the time.
- He fools around that he won't risk exposing his true feelings. I am sufficiently wounded to discern.
- He is connecting deeply to see who I am, but adequately shallow to back out. Letting me feel that excrutiating pain I don't deserve.
- He casted magical spells on me which lead me to this devastating agitation, yet I got my heart back from him. I am wallowing in a pit of unrequited love.
- He pursued me, and yet branded me as desperate. Society is really harsh. I never stopped loving him, I just stopped showing it.
- He has somebody else, and I am not that somebody. Your loss, my hurt. It's better if he didn't recognized my existence than giving me no worth.
- He was considered extra special, but I am taken for granted. It's like he think I won't ever change, failing to realize that like everyone else I get queasy and tired.
- He has gotten cold with me, he has changed his mind. I am still love sick, buried deep down with this emotion.
- He let the axe fall with the other girls, including me. Cruel, but happens more often than I think. Goodbye to my broken heart.
- He handled anyone with tender loving care, mending anything broken. Unfortunately I am left unattended, and untreated.
- He disected my personality much closer, yet the attraction demised naturally. Post-mortem care not rendered. I am fragile.
- He gave false hope when I need to know. So much of it, but this is the only way to take all the guesswork out of the equation. Candid honesty please.
- He can always tell lies. Believing every word he blasts, will I know? Face the mirror wearing your conscience.
- He left me hanging and moves as if nothing had come to pass. Sensitivity and trust issues arise from the apex of my heart.
- He neglected my effort to keep in touch. It's not all the time I can hold on, I can wear off anytime.
- He protected his brain with barrier to prevent the aliens from zapping it to dislike all other female earthlings alive. So I presume I am included in his "all female earthling like list."
- He sets off corny punchlines to make me smile. Deep within I lament. Yes I do, I cannot mask what I feel inside.
- He made me feel special, but not anymore. Now I am yearning.
- He downpoured me with time and attention, and it rapidly vanished like a thunder strike. Analogous to him flushing me away.
- He showed kindness, but he might have other agenda. Everything has limitations, cannot torture myself that long, eventually I might disappear.

To The One Who Made My Eulogy
Someone I value gave me a eulogy: "Gly was a masochist, and she liked it. She knew what was coming to her but she didn't heed the signs. Now that she's raodkilled, let's hope it was in ecstacy." (08/08/2009 1825)
Now, this one is for you..
"When we share wee breaks and puffs it's a good time. When we share laughters that's twice the fun. When we share problems that's half the pain. When we share resentments it gives voice to our sentiments. When we share tears we lessen our sorrows. When we share idleness it's where our souls rest. When we share secrets it's what our heart reveals. What draws us closer and make us care for each other is not what we have but what we share."
Time doesn't really matter at all. Whirlwhind connection eh..
"Thank you.." Still find my words empty?

Actually I don't care who he is too, I just want to check out who wrote that ooooh so refined penmanship. I really kept in mind the name of its owner. I pried so I'm aware who he is.

Failing to Hit

Desolation
We hate forcing ourselves to let go of the person that we want in our lives. It's the only thing that is sensible, it's the same thing that complicates us.
We know that we're better off without that person, yet we feel empty whenever we try to let go. Nobody said it was easy.
We always abandon ourselves in the witherness to conceal our bereavements and illusions. Disintegrating our inclination to something we don't exactly know precedes to self deception.
As we gulp imperfections, our hungry possession grants continuous striving to catch a glimpse of factuality casted by the scenario we are into.
We tend to endure the hardships and the unworthiness of neglected reasons acquainted to us that we constantly exhibit versatility, but nothing we can do to perfectly safeguard our ego.
Is being sunken better than being anguish?

Diorama
Destiny? We decided on the path we are strolling through and yet we blame others for our crooked trails as we fail.
Masalimuot na Buhay
Minsang naglakad ako sa dilim ay nakainggitan ko ang mga batang paslit. Sila ay napakainosente, problema'y tinatawanan lamang, masaya sa kung anong mayroon sila.

Pretending
Sometimes desiring a limbic system weir is not as bad, impossible but it could regulate our feelings well as it modulate the flow of the river. We knew it will leave nowhere, futile and yet we still opt to stick to what we think could make us blissful. We roar with laughter but no one sees our gloomy side. We attempt to understand circumstances and actions shown to us but we frantically cannot. We mask our tormented facet just to show that certain person that we are not affected. Acting like a brave hero but truly a coward inside.
Controlling hurdles is almost beyond bounds. Falling into the pit of depression rots our interior, it vigilantly alters our sentiment. We cannot simply shake off those blues as we wish. We must learn to live with it.
Can we really love without asking anything in return? Fighting and waiting for that weeny chance, savouring every moment you had with that special someone without stipulating, unrequited yet still sacrificing and giving your all. Inspite of the emotional agony we are into, spontaneous events in our everyday life can depict something we don't want to anticipate.
We can never teach our hearts, we can never muffle what we feel. Maybe it is worth the pain, just maybe..

Searching
Life has it's own way of making us smile even if you want to give up and lose hope.
We search so much for the right choices, for the right paths to walk through, for the right reasons.
But life isn't about searching for the things that can be found. It's all about letting the unexpected happen and finding the things you never searched for.
God's blessing may come as a surprise, how much you receive depends on how much your heart can believe.

Veneer
We always want to give others the best we had, to comfort them, to hear their sorrows, to check whether they're all safely and warmly tucked in their beds. Along the way, you might brighten up someone's day.
I casted myself to the pool of life where I meet different kinds of people. Hoping to be picked up by those caring hands someday.
Living in my own shattered crumpled world devours all the sensitivity in me, to smile is still something I have to do for other's sake.
My abandoned solitude mearly strikes other's attention, it is when you're alone you hear the real you. Sometimes words are not enough to express how you feel, most of the time you just want to be dispersed in the air and just vanish.
Behind that nurturing exterior is a wounded soul and a lonely heart trying to conquer her own battle longing for some love and affection from anyone.

Life on a Train- From Anonymous
Why?
Why are some people like that?
There are times they will make you feel how important you are to them, lets you feel how special you are, and how you are loved..
Yet they slowly drift away without any notice, never hearing from them again.
And since you believed every single word they said.. You are left shattered, confused, and hurt.

Turmoil
It's harmless to be with the person who has that special spark for you. Laugh around, flirt a little. After all, there's no committment involved. It's actually fun if fun is really all you're after.
But when love strikes, it's unforgiving. Sometimes in order not to fall apart, you have to let go of what keeps you together.
Right now I am emotionally labile,, Frantically afraid,, Crying out for uncertainties,, Abiding for nothing,, Blinded by fictitious happiness,, Do I really need to make a fool out of my self?
The only reason why I felt this bad is because I felt something really good before. I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I am feeling right now is a beautiful sadness.

To Someone Special
Thank you very much.
Bitter Reality
Your actions shown I cannot accurately interpret drags me into a miserable pit of burden.
Confusion nearly embeds my sanity, my severed heart and tormented fragility hushfully longs for that magical feeling you unwrapped with me.
