sincere letter part II

part 2 ito ng sincere letter... hehehe..

---

I thought Jay's ex-girlfriend was really out of our lives. But heaven only goes that I was wrong. Kakakasal pa lang namin nun when Jay received a uninamous text. "Meet me at the clinic." I had a stinking feeling in my butt. I told him not to go. It might in danger him. Pero sabi niya, ok lang daw because life is what we make. Tumahimik lang ako. Sabi niya, "Penny for you talks." But I didn't know what to say. Beggars can't be losers. Isa pa, worried talaga ako na baka yung girl yun. Jay said, "Can't got your tongue?" I tried to smile at him. Kahit di ako nagsalita, actions speak louder than works, di ba?

Be that as is may, umalis pa rin siya. I was out of the loophole. After a few hours, I called him on his cellphone. But my calls fell on Jeff's ears. Lalo akong nag-worry kasi I didn't even know Jeff. Sabi na nga ba di na dapat umalis si Jay. That's what I'm talking about it.

So I tried calling some friends who will help me find Jay. That's what friends are for naman di ba? But I just faced a blank mall. I had to do this alone. Nag-taxi na lang ako. Pero ang mahal na pala ng plug down rate.

When I got to the clinic, the security was really buffed up. Di basta-basta makakapasok. So I said, "I beg your cordon. I'm patient. It's my favorite virtue nga e." Nagduda yata yung isang guard. Hinawakan ako sa arm. The nerd! I shouted, "Don't touch me not!" Buti na lang the other guards were nice and said, "Come on, let's join us."

When I went inside, parang I've been there, done there. Nung walang nakatingin, nag-explore ako. Nakarating ako sa top floor and I had a bird's IQ of the clinic. I could not explain it but I was drawn to a room on the floor. Siguro Divine Intermission na yun.

Parang may narinig akong umuungol. I was thorn. Di ko alam kung aalis ba ako o papasukin ko. It made me stick in the stomach to think that Jay and his ex-girlfriend were there. I tried to tell myself to slower my expectations. But to tell with it! I had to strike while the iron is not. I had to hear the truth from the corpse's mouth. I barraged in. O my gas! Si Jay, naka-strap sa operating table, parang genie pig sa isang nakakatakot na experiment. He was on the cutting edge. He was bleeding. At ang doctor na nagpapahirap sa kanya, ang ex-girlfriend niya at ang bago nitong boyfriend, ang nurse na si Walter. Doon ko napatunayang blood is thicker than Walter.

Guess watch? Di ko alam kung paano ko nagawa pero I was able to search and rescue Jay. Siguro adrenaline brush na yun.

Now, he's recovering. Nag-sorry siya na hindi siya nakinig sa akin. I know it's a better pill to swallow your fried so it's forgive and forget me not. All swell that end swell. I know we should kiss and put on makeup.

Ang ex-girlfriend naman niya at si Walter, nakakulong na. Detention is really better than cure. So the moral of the lesson is: if symptoms persist, insult your doctor.

'yon lang. Sana natuwa kayo.
I miss you Illumina! :)

A SINCERE LETTER

nabasa ko ito sa internet. sana matuwa kayo.

-----

We've been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother.
Actually, our paths crossed one time on another. But it's only now that I
gave him a second look.

I realized that beauty is in the eyes. The pulpbits of my heart went fast,
really fast. Cute pala siya. And then, he came over with me.

He said, "I hope you don't mine. Can I get your number?"

Nag-worry ako. What if he doesn't give it back? He explained naman na it's
so we could keep intact daw. Sabi ko, "Connect me if i'm wrong but are you
asking me ouch?"

"The!?!!??". .. ang sarcastic na sagot nya.

Aba! The verb! Parang siya pa ang galit! Persona ingrata!!! Ang kapal niya!
I cried buckles of tears.

Na-guilty yata siya. Sabi niya, isipin mo na lang na this is a blessing in
the sky. Irregardless daw of his feelings, we should go ouch na rin. Now,
we're so in love. Mute and epidemic na ang past. Thanks God we swallowed our
fried. Kasi, I'm 33 na and I'm running our time.

After 2 weeks, he plopped the question. "Will you marriage me?" I'm in a
state of shocked. Kasi mantakin mo, when it rains, it's four! This is true
good to be true. So siyempre, I said yes. Love is a many splendor.

Pero nung inaayos ko na ang aming kasal, everything swell to pieces.
Nag-di-dinner kami noon nang biglang sa harap ng aming table, may babaeng
humirit ng, "Well, well, well. Look do we have here." What the fuss! The
nerd ng babaeng yon! She said they were still on. So I told her, whatever is
that, cut me some slacks! I didn't want this to get our hand kaya I had to
sip it in the bud. She accused me of steeling her boyfriend. As is!!! I
don't want to portrait the role of the other woman. Gosh, tell me to the
marines! I told her, "please, mine you own business!" Who would believe her
anyway?

Dahil it's not my problem anymore but her problem anymore, tumigil na rin
siya ng panggugulo. Everything is coming up daisies. I'm so happy. Even my
boyfriend said liketwice. He's so supportive. Sabi niya, "Look at is this
way. She's our of our lives."

Kaya advise ko sa inyo - take the risk. You can never can tell. Just burn
the bridge when you get there. Life is shorts. If you make a mistake, we'll
just pray for the internal and external repose of your soul. I second
emotion.

pampatanggal ito ng stress... waaah!

illumina.tk

http://www.illumina.tk/

Please update your links. ILLUMINAte has a new address on the web!

The old one still works, but seriously, illumina.tk is waaay cooler, right?

***

Just to clear things out:

A blog network, according to blogossary, is a collection of blogs under a single domain name or company. A number of blog networks are commercial or for-profit, however, there are some blog networks used solely for social purposes.

As you can read from the header above, ILLUMINAte is the blog network of ILLUMINA. And to make it even more obvious, that is why there are a number of links to blogs of ILLUMINA to your left. To put it simply, this blog network serves as a gateway to the blogs of different ILLUMINA. It aims to connect ILLUMINA worldwide, especially since we are separated (Physically, of course, but not by heart).

The ILLUMINAte team, meanwhile, is the group of people responsible for maintaining this blog network. Their duty goes beyond just posting entries, but in updating and modifying the blog database, managing the layout of the site and looking after the overall upkeep of ILLUMINAte.

So when you ask to be added, please specify if you want your blog to be added (And there is a proper procedure to this, read the rules here) and/or you want to be part of the team (In which case, you can contact me or any of the ILLUMINAte team members. Anyone from ILLUMINA is welcome!)

*NOTE: Even if you're not part of the ILLUMINAte team, you can still contribute by contacting any of the ILLUMINAte team members. We will post your article or whatever it is you want to contribute, and give due credit (Promise!)

PISAY the movie


guys! ganda ng pisay the movie. nood kayo(for those na hindi pa nakakapanuod). hehe. it's kinda sentimental pero entertaining talaga siya. makakarelate talaga tayo except sa venue which is set in pisay dil. mas maganda pa rin campus natin! haha. ayun yung movie poster niya sa taas. :D feeling ko hindi ipapashow ni ma'am fundador ang movie kasi medyo anti-science courses only siya. it's set in 1986 where people are starting to revolt against the Marcos regime. anyway, don't want to spoil it. panuorin niyo na lang. :D Godbless at ingat palagi!
