My Midnight Hymn

As the night wind rattles my windows

With the starless evening sky

I wrap myself with a blanket

And close my tired tired eyes

I pray that sleep comes soon

For I no longer want to think

Hoping for empty thoughts

For my worries to let me be

I wish for a dreamless slumber

To venture into nothingness

For when I open my eyes

I'll see how I made such a mess

So sleep please visit me now

I don't want to wait long

This is my evening prayer

This is my midnight song

Take 2

This is the 2nd time this has happened...

Nakakainis na ang taong gusto mo, ina-assume na sa iba ka may gusto. Sana idilat niya ang maliliit niyang mga mata.

Kung pwede lang talaga...

House Red

I never preferred red wine. I didn't like how it taste and how it smelled. But a week ago, at a celebration, I was given a choice between red wine and Tiger Beer. If I didn't like red wine, I didn't like Tiger Beer more. I could actually order a different drink but I would be like the odd man out. So, I chose the wine.

I guess we will always find ourselves in a situation where you have to make a choice between the things you never really liked. And the best approach to take is to choose the lesser evil (like in the upcoming Presidential elections). And our decisions and choices might surprise us. It might lead us to things we never really thought we would be able to appreciate. We might actually enjoy it.

At the end the evening it was never really about how I managed to drink 3 glasses of something I never liked. But how I enjoyed every moment of it because of the people I'm celebrating with. Because of the memories we are weaving. Because of the wonderful evening we are having. Because of the stars that are shining on our happy faces...

Happy Endings

I am not a fan of such. You can call me bitter, pessimistic, a Scrooge and anything you can think of. I just think they're like fairy tales for the old. It makes people believe in the unbelievable and set high expectations on life. And life and everything that revolves around it usually ends up in disappointment, pain and regret. It's always a cycle. A rainbow after the rain. The calm before the storm.

I guess the reason why I dislike it is because I haven't had my happy ending yet. And even if it arrives, will I still be able to enjoy it? After all, as the phrase says, it is the End.
