test post: puzzling pieces

Posted by estranged_parts at 10:34 PM on July 4, 2004.

Do you still remember when u were still a child
When a toy as simple as a jumbo jigsaw puzzle can entertain your innocent mind

Where every piece was so easy to fit

And as if like magic a picture pops out without sweat



Life is like a puzzle wherein every piece counts
For every hole there is a piece

That fits snuggly as though it was mount

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s the right piece at the right hole

When I thought and was so sure that it really fit in

But as the whole picture was about to reveal

I’d see a piece out of place like a lady in a swimsuit attending a ball night



I just lost 2 pieces of my own puzzle and I just don’t know what to do

It all happened so fast it left me dazed and confused

I don’t know what fate brings them

If I literally have to kill myself to find these 2 pieces

Or as if heaven sent they would gently glide down as gentle as a snowflake

Falling from the pearl sky and drop into its place in my jigsaw



But our puzzle is a lot different from the ones we buy in the store

For the ones we purchase are constant pictures

While ours is always changing



The puzzles in the shop come with a glue to hold the pieces together,

To preserve it, so that it could last forever in its frame



We also have our glue that would hold our pieces together

But it’s not as sticky as you think it is: faith, TRUST, love, harmony

I don’t know what else the others have in mind for each picture is so unique

As well as the mixture that would hold it together



Our puzzle has no borders nor boundaries, and believe it or not,

It just keeps on growing and growing as we go on in our daily lives

As we meet new people, as we experience challenging obstacles in life

As the number of our memories either joyful or tragic, increase

From the smallest deed to the biggest LIE

It just keeps on adding up to our puzzle, making it bigger



It’s up to us if the picture turns up as lovely as the wildflowers in the fields of the west

Or as dark and mysterious as the deepest trench of the ocean



And just then I lost interest of continuing this piece of shit.

Jeepney. (Jip-Ni) aka, jeep dyip dyipni. Ano ba ang jeepney? Diba nanggaling ito sa “Jeep”? yung tatak ng auto na ginawa ng mga Americano noong panahong ng World War II. Ito ung kanilang mga sasakyan na iniwan nila dito sa pilipinas. Yung mga naiwan sa Olongapo. Pinakinabangan ng mga tao dun upang gawing transportation nila sabagay ilan din ang naihahaitd at sundo nun. Kung bibilangin mo apat sa likod, dalawa sa harap (Driver included)..... fast forward.... hindi nakuntento ang pilipino at gumawa ng sariling version nito. Mas mahaba ang likod upang mas maraming makasakay, mas konti ang byahe, mas tipid sa gasolina at gulong. Maabilidad nga talaga ang mga pilipino.

First time ko magkomyut magisa, ng walang magulang o yaya, nung grade 4 ako. Magkomyut magisa kasama ng ibang kaklase. Naglaro kasi kami sa intramurals namin at dahil after class ito, nagpaiwan na ako sa service. (biruin mo pati ung service namin ay isang jeep). Proud ako nun na nakapagkomyut ako magisa pauwi. Dun ko nalaman na kaya ko palang alagaan sarili ko at posible palang magjeep ng walang kasamang nakakatanda ang isang musmos na katulad ko noon. Kahit na pawis na pawis kami ng mga klasmeyt ko ok lang walang pakialamanan, nag roundtrip pa nga kami dahil ung mga jeep na papunta sa patutunguhan namin ay parating puno kaya ung opposite na byahe ang sinakyan namin para pagdating sa dulo at pabalik na ung byahe cguradong nakasakay na kami.

Naalala ko noon nung nagbabakasyon pa kami ng kapatid ko sa bulacan sa bahay ng close family friend namin. Sasakay kami ng jeep noon at nagtaka ako kung bakit sila sumakay sa isang jeep na mukhang pang private use. Nagdalawang isip pa ako sumakay sa naturang jeep sa kadahilanang ayaw ko mapahiya. Makisakay ka banaman sa sasakyan ng hindi mo kilala shempre nakakahiya yun. Yun pala ung mga jeep nila doon ay likhang maiksi lamang. 6 na tao lang ang kayang sumakay sa likuran. Dahil siguro maliliit rin ang mga kalsada roon.

FOOT FETISH?

Posted by estranged_parts at 12:19 AM on July 6, 2004.

Hindi mo maiiwasang tumungo pag nasa jeep lalo na pag puno ito. Sa kaliwa’t kanan, halos mahalikan mo na ung katabi mo. Unless na makikipagtitigan ka sa katapat mo eh didiretso ka ng tingin. Hindi naman pwedeng tumingala magdamag at nakakangawit ito. So ayon tutungo ka at makikita mo ang mga paanan ng mga pasahero. May mga naka sapatos, mamahalin, mumurahin, naka botas, naka sandals, at meron ding mga naka chinelas. Isang beses pauwi na kami galing busko (shempre dumaan muna sa bilyaran) kasama ko si Doybid, ang aking commute-mate. And as usual kita nanaman ang mga paanan ng mga pasahero. May isang pares ng paa na di namin maiwasang pansinin. At kahit wala pang sinasasabi bigla nalang kaming natawa pareho. We started to make godzilla-like sounds and actions with our hands... get the picture? Hindi cya malahiganteng paa. At hindi rin claws ang mga kuko nya. She was wearing sandals and her toes were way off the edge, and it looks like it’s clinging to the sandals. Firm grip. Ang galing. Kung ano ano na ang pumasok sa isip namin. Kaya kaya nya un sa basketball? At kaya ng paa nya irev ung scooter? Pero astig parin ung godzilla.

lingon

Posted by estranged_parts at 10:56 PM on July 6, 2004.

saan ka titingin
saan magmamasid
kung walang matanaw
sa iyong mundo ng panaginip
walang mga larawang nakapaskil

saan ka patungo
kung walang paroroonan
kung walang direksyon ang mapa
pasulyap naman ng iyong pangarap

saan ka hihimpil
kung wala ka namang hangganan
paano ka titigil
kailan ka magpapahinga

sakaling ikaw ay maligaw
huwag magalinlangang magtanong
at kung ikaw naman ay makalimot
lingon ka lang sa kahapon

too much philosophy in my head

Posted by estranged_parts at 10:01 PM on July 9, 2004.

don't you hate it when an action causes a negative reaction? what if you are trying to evade these negatives only to end up with a series of dead ends if not painful consequences?

ok here's the story: i was offered a high paying job. but i would have to give up a lot of responsibilites in order to get in that work. i would have to break a lot of promises. i would have to shatter the hearts and melt the hopes of those people who depended on me. but i did not choose my role. it was a given.

does giving up opportunities that would make me a millionaire in two years make sense?

"knowledge is virtue"

who the fuck said that?

virtue exists for us to suffer the pain of not having pleasure. for us not to succumb into desire.

i am contradicting it but still i am stuck in that paradigm.

yes. i am a man of honor, respect, i am true to my word, and a man of... (drum roll please) virtue. and it is virtue that keeps me from taking a lick of that cold, creamy, and luscious sweetness of life's pleasures.

it is man's nature to desire, i do not get satisfied, i do not get content.

i will not settle with this mediocrity. and someday, i will find a way.

people as livestock

Posted by estranged_parts at 04:29 AM on July 11, 2004.

people are dominant over all creature in this world because we have complexities that other animals don't have e.g. will, communication skills etc.

we reproduce pigs, cows, chickens, etc. as livestock to feed ourselves. and since we are the more supreme species, we have the "right" to do this to them.

hypothetical situation:

if aliens do exist, obviously they are more dominant than us human beings for one, with their advancement in science for their trans-galaxy traveling and that makes them better species than us.

the hypothetical question:

and if one day they decide to come to planet earth to devour some human meat and capture some for reproduction, what would you do? since they are the more dominant creatures, they have the right to feed on us.

watcha tink?

signal no. 4

Posted by estranged_parts at 12:42 AM on July 15, 2004.

Sandali lang
Halika at sumilong muna
Malakas ang ulan
Huwag ka munang umalis

Hintay lang
Pahupain ang hangin
Baka ikaw ay matangay
Ang hirap mong habulin

Dahan dahan lang
Hindi naman tayo nagmamadali
Bumabaha na sa labas
Hanggang dibdib ang lalim

Habang nandito tayo
Sa sarili nating mundo
Walang ulan, walang baha
Walang hagupit ang hangin

Kahit anong unos
Ambon man o bagyo
Hindi mabubuwag
Kung anong meron tayo

tinging malagkit
daplis ng mga daliri
sa aking pisngi
iba ang nadarama

balahibong pusa
sa iyong braso
hindi nakakaapekto
sa aking pagkakalulong

mga matang nanggagayuma
nangaakit, nanghihila
tinutulak ang tibok
hinihintay mahulog

patulog pwede?

Posted by estranged_parts at 08:23 PM on July 20, 2004.

nung una kang makilala
oras oras kang iniisip
tinamaan na nga ako
magpatulog ka naman

natutulog ang hating gabi
nagpapatawag ka
sabi mo "may problema"
magpatulog ka naman

sinasamahan kahit saan
inaalalayan sa kadiliman
hinihintay ng magdamag
magpatulog ka naman

dumating ang panahon
pinakilala mo siya at
ngayon hindi mapakali
kahit tanghali binabangungot

magpatulog ka naman

for tonight

it's 10 o'clock
you're still awake
so many things to think about
your miserable life ey?

already past midnight
you haven't slept yet
the lies that haunted you won't rest
until you give in

come with me
for a moment
come with me and...

tonight
like birds we will fly
we'll leave our burden on our nest
of hurt, of hate, of bitterness

tonight
like angels we will fly
we'll touch the clouds, we'll paint the sky
and use your favourite colors

for tonight
