Set your footprints in a place where it won’t fail. In my world I’ll take you. In a sky unshaken, where both sun and air collapse in muteness... Please roll your breath down on my face, lead it to my chest, lift my voice like the way your eyes open doors--from this day that I am certain, from this day that I am unknown. I have nothing from the very beginning, I'll be getting nothing in the end. Look this is my life, it should not pass you by.

diary harvest

Monday, June 29th, 2009


Like any randomness, most events in our life simply occurred randomly no matter how we planned for the future. You get to learn a lot from people you barely know and you didn’t even bother knowing because you basically had no about them.

It is one of those days, my friend Sigan invited me to come over and sit-in in one of his class. Frankly I envy Sigan, he is intelligent and talented. He has this opportunity and time to hone his skills. Talent without skill could only get you as much unless anak ka ng diyos. But Sigan could be sometimes so humble, it could be annoying. I never told him that, of course, luckily he hasn’t discover my new blog yet. Again, Sigan could be so amazing.

Sigan is taking his Master’s in Creative Writing in the University of the Philippines, and I was really thrilled when he told me that he is bringing me along in one of his class. First I have worries specially how to behave on his class since he already confirmed my appearance to his professor and host of the class.

Host? Wait!? My mind was set that we would be heading for Diliman but it turned out we were going to the Fort. One of his classmates hosted in her home. She lives in one of plushest, if not the plushest among the plushest condominiums in the area.

No worries, Sigan told me exuberating confidence that started to wear off as our taxi approaches our destination.

He was twice as thrilled as me.

I remembered when we were having one of the walkatlhons in the city, we found ourselves inside Fort Bonifacio Global City. I mentioned to him I wanna get near to that tall, massive blue twin towers, among the first buildings in the converted military base, and so we decided to follow the course leading to the massive blue twin towers. But we only get just as close.

We both feared or I thought we both feared being mistaken for probinsyano or something.

Then suddenly, Sigan and I were here, boarding off the taxi and walking on our way to that hell of a tall, massive blue twin towers in the Fort.

It’s kinda one of the once-in-a-lifetime event na may kick ng shabu. Hey I haven’t tried and won’t be trying shabu.

But more than the tall, massive blue twin towers, madami pang another once-in-a-lifetime event na may kick ng shabu ulet ang nangyari.
