Agitated

I am not myself today.  Understandably, as I just came from a bout with the flu.  Add to that the incessant pouring of Isang's rain.  Or maybe the rains were just the last straw.  I don't know.  I have been feeling kinda queasy lately.  Sometimes I wonder if it was from the non-stop Gilmore Girls marathons.  That show brings out the... hmmm, what does it bring out, anyway?


Yeah, I guess it's just the weather.  Rainy days are not my favorite days.  I get sad when it rains.  So imagine what a hell of a storm does to me!  It most certainly doesn't bring out the best.
I don't exactly know what it is about the rains that agitate me.  Some people welcome the rain.  But for me, rain's not really appealing.  Rain's a real bummer, if you ask me.  For someone who cannot keep oneself in one place like me, the rain seems like a ball and chain that constricts my movements.  I cannot go anywhere.  I cannot do anything.  When it rains, I just stay put.  And staying put doesn't really become me.
It's hard to stay put when you're agitated.  It's like an atom which is constantly moving, you just can't contain that.  It has to bump into another atom so that the kinetic energy bursting out of it will be transferred and passed on and on and on.
I don't know how I could make peace with the rain.  Especially after the stress I went through last night when the rains suddenly decided to invade my space!  Now I dread going home and finding how much damage the rains has caused.  But I gotta come home eventually.  And I guess I just have to concede to the rains this time.  But do I even have a chance at getting back at it?  Yeah, right.  If I did, do you think I could start walking on water, too?

MUSINGS OF A SOMETHING, SOMETHING

When I was in fourth grade, I knew what I wanted to be. A journalist. During summer vacation, I remember tearing away pages in my notebook that have been written on and keeping the blank ones. Then I would write stories on the blank pages. I don’t remember what stories I have written, but I do remember showing them to my dad. That was when he said, “ Anak , I think you’re going to be a journalist when you grow up.” In high school, my Tita Mary gave me a sketch pad. It was just a bunch of bond paper with green covers done in perfect binding. But I treasured that sketch pad. I would bring it to school every day, and while waiting for the teacher to arrive, I would draw my favorite cartoon characters on it. Sometimes, when the school bus was late, that sketch pad kept me busy. I must say I did some pretty neat pictures on that sketch pad, so I said to myself, “Maybe I could become an artist!” But that didn’t happen after high school. I went to the State University for a degre

Facing vs. Choosing My Fears

It's 5:30am, I'm looking at my bike, thinking, "Should I really take this to Ortigas today?" Us girls! I'm a biker. Not the hardcore bike-to-work kind, but more of a weekend warrior. I've done city cycling, sometimes with a group, most of the time alone. I really want to take my bike to work, but I haven't gathered enough guts to actually do it. Why? I'm scared. Of what? Oh, just the buses, and trucks, and SUVs that bully you (yes, I've been bullied before).

Why I Won't Forget September 26, 2009

Have you ever had one of those days which seemed to start quite ordinarily, only to find out that the day would be a day of surprises? It all started with my phone alarm going off at 6:00 AM on September 26, 2009. It was a Saturday, so why was I up so early? I was supposed to have a bazaar the following day. I wanted to get my errands done early for that bazaar.
