knight with my shining tsinelas

i was on my way back to the office
to do overtime work.
my day was just fine but decided to
go home for a while so i can prepare myself
to work longer.
the jeepney ride was breezy and all i can think
of are positive thoughts. i am not kidding.
i even think i was beautiful tonight
(boy, i was that POSITIVE!).

i was walking and walking and i think
i was bouncing a little bit at that time
until my slip on snapped.
it did... it did.
and to my horror, i have realized that i am still
a couple of blocks away to the office!
i can't just try to compose myself and drag my left foot
with my broken tsinelas.
i then decided to text someone.
no matter how i pretend that i can do everything,
i still sense that i need that knight in shining armour.
that guy who will bring me this tsinelas as if it's glowing before
my eyes while i am patiently sitting
on the cold pavement. the scene will be like this:
camera behind me, worms eye view
and then he'll be there. standing...
offering me that tsinelas that i need...
he'll ask:
eto oh...okay ka lang?...
then my only response will be:
I am... fhhiiine...now that you are hhhhhere...
a lot of H will be in that for sure.

and oh, the guy i texted?
i know for sure that he'll bring me one.
he's nice anyway. naks...

but it didn't wait for him,
i decided to walk my way gracefully a couple of blocks
with my left tsinelas in hand
and finally got my composure back in our building.
what a mentos moment!

time

I got this from Yuuki, a Japanese film.


To comprehend the value of one year,
just ask the students who failed their entrance exams.

To comprehend the value of one month,
just ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.

To comprehend the value of one week,
just ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To comprehend the value of one hour,
just ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To comprehend the value of one minute,
just ask the people who missed their stop on the train.

To comprehend the value of one second,
just ask the person who managed to avoid an accident just in time.

To comprehend the value of one-tenth of a second,
just ask the person who ended up with a silver medal at the Olympics.

The hands of the clock will continue ticking.
Therefore, treasure every moment you have.
And treat today as the utmost gift you'll have.



HAPPY NEW YEAR!
GAMBATE!!!
