With the smell of rusty iron, I feld it firmly. No one wanted to try.

No one except
me. I won't let go. No. Not like

I wanted to be on top, for it was known to be success.

I wanted to look down at people, for doing so, screamed power.

Pag-ibig
Kumapit ka lang ng mahigpit sabay kalkulahin ang bawat pagtapak.
Umakyat ka hangga't gusto mo.
Umakyat ka kahit panigurado, babagsak ka rin tulad ko.
Dahil sa huli kahit kumapit ka ay siya na mismo ang bibigay.
Iiwanan kang wasak at gutay-gutay.

"How astonishing it is that language can almost mean, and frightening that it does
not quite."

I dream of lost vocabularies that might express some of what we no linger can.

Another thing might be better than the other while looking at it with a different
perpective.
Napaligpasan na ako ng panahon. Napabayaan, at marahil.. kinalimutan.

Perceptive
Clouds. Light. Statue.

PERCEPTIVE

I wanted to leave everything and live above, for it was simply a resiliant excuse.
I had known the beauty of every madness. I had been stung by the same beast.
But still being here at the ground makes me wonder,
How can something beautiful deprived me of something that is not?

DROGA

Sa isang maliit na apoy at usok na kalakip ay pagtakas sa mundo,

Sa kasakitan, sa mga delubyo
Ang tagasundo ay darating
Upang bawiin ang buhay na hindi na sa atin

Kasalukuyang iwinawagayway
Bandilang walang ibang kulay kung hindi pula
Ito kuno ay para sayo
Sayo, aking kapwa Pilipino

�But this time is ours, and we cannot live hating ourselves�

Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

A perfect combination for the worst master piece.
