Naalala mo pa ba.... nung minsang minahal mo ako?

"Paano ako mag mo-move-on kung nasanay na akong lagi siyang nasa tabi ko? Paano ko kakalimutan ang nakaraan kung pati yung future na binubuo ko ay kasama siya?"

Isang voice record ang iniwan sa email ni Mark na naglalaman ng isang mahalagang mensahe.

Sabi nila, pag nag bilang ka raw ng siyam na bituin sa loob ng siyam na araw at sinabi mo ang hiling mo, magkakatotoo raw ito. Ang hirap maniwala sa mga pamahiin na 'yan, pero wala naman masama kung susubukan 'di ba? Malay natin magkatotoo ang hiling ko na sana....magustuhan mo rin ako.

This is a collection of some weird stories that popped into my mind or some thoughts that just beg me to write it. Some can be in Tagalog or in English. I hope you could enjoy! :)

Merong iba't-ibang paraan ang mga tao para makatakas sa reyalidad. Yung iba nagbabasa ng libro, nanonood ng mga drama sa tv, nakikinig ng music. Meron namang nagsusulat, nag d-drawing, nag p-paint, at nag co-compose ng kanta. Pero si Angelique, ang paraan niya ng pagtakas sa reyalidad ay tuwing nananaginip siya. Dahil meron siyang ibang kakayahan. Ang kakayahan na kontrolin at i-manipulate ang sarili niyang panaginip.

At night, she pulls her blanket to herself, takes her pen, and remembers every detail in her life. She had a lot to write about her regrets of the past, her doubts of the present, and her worries for her future. She did not want to think, but she still will, mixing all time lines in her head. At dawn, she wakes up, takes her pen, and remembers that she must love herself before she can love anyone. She had a lot to write about the boy who wanted her back after he broke her heart. Even so, she won't, for she has decided that from now on, she will choose herself first. In the morning, she continues to live, takes her pen, and remembers how blessed she is to be loved. She had a lot to write about everything under the sun, including her adventures with the person who loved her dearly. She takes note of all of them, both small and big, until he kisses her and takes her away from the harsh reality. Three different girls with twenty-five tales to tell, all because the universe taught her to love . . . and to write.

I was stuck in love, so I called her for help. But before she could pull me out completely, She also got stuck.

Hiniling ni Ma. Natasha Kaluag, o Tasha, ang isang unique na malatelenobelang buhay. Ibinigay naman ito ng universe nang mawala ang wallet niyang may laman dapat na one-by-one picture na inabot naman ni Theo Agustino. Ang pagbintangan si Theo nang makita niyang wala ang litrato sa wallet ang nag-umpisa ng pag-iiba ng kanyang mga araw at ang paghahanap ng isang bagay na si Theo lamang ang makapagbibigay. Hindi maganda ang nakaraan ni Theo -- na-late siya ng isang taon sa pag-aaral dahil sa isang aksidente at nawala ang tsansa niya sa taong matagal na niyang gusto. Kaya nang matagpuan niya ang wallet ni Tasha at mapagbintangan siyang itinago ang litrato nito, alam ni Theo na may pagkakataon pa siyang mag-umpisa ng bagong kabanata na si Tasha naman ang kasama. Dalawang taong nawalan, dalawang taong may nahanap. Kung sabay ba nilang tutuklasin ang mundo ng pag-ibig na ngayon pa lang nila mararanasan, sabay rin ba silang mawawala?
