I've thought about this, and the only logical answer I could find as to why people do this is that they think any kind of difference is a bad thing.
If someone isn't wearing shoes that are "in", they are all of a sudden less of a person. I don't dress in weird, outlandish clothing or anything.
However, an article of clothing does not need to be made by a popular brand for me to wear it.
Basically, if you ever saw me you would just think I'm another basic person, which is a misconception, seeing that I'm far from "your average guy" in regards to things I like to do, how I act, and such. But think about this.
Somebody could be the coolest, nicest, most fun person, but they could look different from other people.
You can't say anything about that person unless you've met them since you have no idea what their circumstances are. What if that person happens to come from a poor family and just can't afford to buy the latest tops that everybody's wearing? Would you really look down upon that person because of it? What if somebody were overweight because obesity happens to run in the family? Is it right to make fun of that person because of genetics?

Hundred Steps
How do we convey a thought? How can we make a
difference? This oftentimes is our question if we
struggle to compose change. Some would try writing
their ideas, some would sing a song, and some would
hold on colors and paint an unwavering faith of
beliefs. Yet through any means, thought takes time to
be “Expressed” – and to be “Recognized”.
True, that we are impatient characters. And
oftentimes, we want transformation to take place in an
instant. And Transformation it is – cause we want it
grand, we want it big and we want it noticeable.
However, this is not how change and life works. All
big things start from small, and all of the sands
start from a single grain. And so we must comprehend
and understand that if we want to deliver
consciousness to all and make it great, then we would
have to take the first step - and continue this step
at a time.
This is a great day! I breathe in and breathe out. I
see people come and converge, and become a collective
of importance. Somehow deep inside I am in awe, for
though the sky imposes a cerulean incline, no less can
be said that this day is green – Green and
Significant.
Today we shout with a different voice, with a
different means of communication, to send out our
thoughts that what we do is an act of change for
others. We may not be that many. But as we traverse
through the streets of our time and take few steps on
our own, it is undeniable that this one step can be
deemed a hundred steps of all.
The day becomes warmer as the sun rises higher, sweat
runs down our skin and it is rather getting tiring.
But as we finish this advocate, I know that we’ve
written, sang and painted the ideas and beliefs we
want to declare onto the hearts of people who might
somehow be also in awe of this one step that became
big… And peacefully, I know, that today, we made
change. =)

changing times
Everything is changing. Day by day, we don’t notice it, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there forever aren’t, and people you never imagined you’d be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and older we are the less sense it will make. So make the most of now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all that’s left would be memories.
The art of unloving you
i wrote this few years ago...june 2009...
Sometimes, just when you think you've found the perfect person, he realizes that there are so many things wrong with you. Eventually, you also realize that there are so many things wrong with him and everything just falls apart.
After some time, you realize that it's over. No amount of screaming, kicking and whinning can bring you an instant replay of the things that were and could have been.
Give me the space and the time that I need to learn to unlove you.
How are you?
I don't know how I am. Would you take it against me if answer that question with a cold stare? How am I doing? I don't know. I absolutely don't know.
I guess I've been having sleepless nights, trying to figure out why things didn't work out. I guess I'm caught between wanting to shut you out of my life completely and wanting to snatch you away.
I don't know. I am lost.
Life was so much simpler before you messed up with my heart. Happiness, being okay and loneliness were simple emotions. With you in my life now, everything seems much more exaggerated. It's like I feel these emotions from my hair to my fingertips, to the point of being nauseated. .
Are you ok?
I don't think I'm okay. I am not okay. Being confused never belonged to the realm of being okay. Do you realize what you do to me? My days seem so much happier. The sun seems to shine brighter. The rain brings a smile to my lips. The colors seem more vivid and I now love the things I used to hate.
I don't think I'm okay.
My life has always been on a timetable. Everything is planned and every aspect has a structure. Everything has a Plan A and if the Plan A does not work, there's always a Plan B. When all else fails, there's always Plan C. When you came something has placed the entire order in my life upside down. My timetable changed and to the point I don't follow a schedule anymore. My plans were all put on hold. The whole structure just went crashing.
I had a clear view of what I wanted, where I was going and by when I need to get there. The moment you walked in, none of them seemed to matter anymore. All I wanted was to stay with you. And that isn't me. I can't afford to allow that to be me.
Not this time. Not with you.
You represent the exact opposite of everything I've ever longed for and yet, for some strange reason, I feel happy when I'm with you. Some people have a problem dealing with loneliness. I, however, find myself having a problem dealing with happiness because I can't justify to my mind why I feel about you. It's just not logical. It defies reason.
Are you angry with me?
No, I'm not angry with you.
I am just doing what's best for the both of us thereby solving the problem before it begins. I know this feeling all too well. I know I'm gonna end up starting my day with thoughts of you and end it just the same.
I'd have imaginary conversations with you in my head. And then one day, I'd wake up realizing that you have become an essential part of my day. It would be all so rosy for the first 90 days.
Until one day, reality gives me a nudge and makes me realize I don't really have you. That no matter how much you said you loved my eyes and sharing your dreams and your thoughts with me, I still won't be enough. That no matter how much you said you cared about me, you can never love me the way I want to be loved. That no matter what I do, there would be no me and you. So let me solve this the only way I know how.
You really don't want to see me anymore, no?
Well, yes… at least until I get over you.
At least until I am sure that your presence no longer affects my better judgement. At least until I've accepted the finality of things and never feel myself longing for something you cannot give.
Let me concentrate on the negative things about you. Let me bring you down from the pedestal I once placed you in. Allow me to see your worst and then maybe I'd change my mind.
Let me remind myself that as much as I love you, we have different priorities. That as much as I adore you, you have a way of pissing me off, a way that only you can do.
Let me be reminded of what a ball and chain you are then maybe I'd learn to see you in a different light. Let me gaze at your countenance one more time and remind myself how forgettable your features are.
Let me walk with indifference when all I wanted to do was to run to your side and hug you. Let me be nonchalant about your stories, about your thoughts. Let me be self-absorbed, allow me to work myself to death or drag my sorry ass wacking my brains out with academic pursuits.
Let me be busy.
It's just that I don't want to be happy for a moment and be miserable for the next three. I don't want to love you, because I don't want to go through the pain of letting you go. My mind refuses to let the heart win.
And you know what's the worst part of learning to unlove you?
It’s the disappointing reality, that my messed up heart is stubbornly believing that letting you go means loving you more.
It's the dark, unacceptable fact that sadly, whoever gets romantically entangled with me at this precise moment of my life, that person will only fall second best to the memory of you.
So allow me to get the space and the time I need as I live day-to-day, practicing the art of unloving you.

Cebu Getaway
Day 2
Took some shots of the port and some nearby boats,one building was shaped like a boat which at first glance i thought it was really ship..
Finally reach the port of Tagbilaran...the tour guide waited for us here we ha d to rent a car since the tourist spots in bohol were a bit far and having a car would be the best option...
Second stop was the baclayon church and museum,the
church is old and it has that funny smell you might get from and old house.
the place was huge with lots of nooks to discover.
Loboc River Tours! Its like a floating restaurant where you are taken on a tour around the river and local songs are played and the food was unlimited and very delicious.
While you eat you can see a few floating houses,its where locals get to be part of the tourism industry,the sing for you and dance and kids look cute and adorable playing those tiny guitars so i had to take a photo of me...and i suck at dancing, i didn't last 5 seconds while dancing the "Tinikling"hahaha......
but it was a great experience i was full and my soul feels connected to the people...i was hungry that time the i had to forgot to take pictures of the food.
After that lunch we then headed to the man made forest which was to me very beautiful to see,fresh cool air,and very clean,i could just put a hammock and just relax and drift away in peace....
Bohol is also know for one creature the "TARSIERS"
Meeting the so cute Tarsiers where scary at first coz i was thinking what if they will jump on me those were the thoughts that came into mind. I wish i could keep these fury little guys but hey atleast i got the chance to meet the smallest prime-ape,we were not allowed to touch it and no and a big NO to use flashes when using your camera,there were just sitting or rather hanging there......staring at me....and thats it...but then again i got the chance to have a high-five with one of them...
Im really afraid of the heights and im scared of this next thing im gonna do.....zip-line!
i forgot the name of the place since i was focusing on conquering my fear,but what the heck after 3 attemps of telling the operator i told him to let go...and the first words that came out of my mouth was..uhmmm lets just say that it's not nice to hear,like some F*** word here and there a few S*** and a couple of B******* here too...and lastly was the "wow!holy crap this is sick and the view is breathtaking and i feel like superman!" came into mind..
Since I'm in Bohol i wouldn't miss on not seeing their famous "CHOCOLATE HILLS"! Going there in a car makes you feel ecstatic,I'm like a kid,as i inch nearer the place i see a couple of hills then more and more as we go along the road,it was a feeling of being small and yet piece came into my mind, as i walk the steps though it was a long one i became more and more excited and being on top i just cant help but just be in "aw" as i look around the many Chocolate hills.
Last stop on my tour was the BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION CENTER, it was a quite place and they were many species of butterflies,i was told not to touch any caterpillars but the curiosity side of me took over and i just had to grab one,i was the biggest and longest ever that i have seen..looking at it seems like its gonna burst..

Damn you!
July 23, 2010
Thank you
For making me feel better
For being there when I needed you most
For being you
Thank you
For the sweetness that filled my being
For the bitterness that balanced out the sweet
Yes, indeed, you had me at hello
Thank you
For listening while I ranted
I could not have survived the day with you
I could have lost it, again
Thank you
For being a friend when it hurts to even smile
For the temporary happiness
I feel much better now; I am back in control
Thank you
The rush helped alleviate the pain
But eventhough we've made good memories
Still you are evil - so damn you, damn you and your calories!
