Francine and Francis: A Text Conversation

Francine and Francis: A Text Conversation 1 Francine: "Hi, friend, Francis! What's up?" (",) Francis: "Hello! I'm just writing.. You? How's the town fiesta?" Francine: "Writing about what? I'm texting you :> Busy streets, "panindahan", etc.. Francis: "I'm writing, I mean, encoding literary pieces. And, I post them in my blogs and Wattpad." Francine: "Wow! That's nice! (",) I better watch out for extra calories! (e_e) Francis: " You roam around.. Just take care." Francine: "It's getting late. I better stay in my home sweet home, friend Francis." Francis: " Ah, okay.. it is better that way." Francine: "Yupie." Francis: "Can I ask you some personal questions?" Francine: "Ok. I'll try to answer it." Francis: "Who is your boyfriend? Do I know him?" Francine: "You don't know him dear friend Francis. Kahit ako I don't know him much." Francis: "Why don'y you know him deeper? Are you far from each other?" Francine: "Malayo ako ngayon sa kanya.. Kahit naman magkalapit kami, friend Francis, sometimes feeling ko, malayo pa rin. It's hard to explain friend Francis." Francis: "So, you're having a problem with him?" Francine: "It's hard to explain it to you, kahit ako di ko din maunawaan. :> Francis: "You both lack of conversation." Francine: "Sort of. I don't know what he's up to. Francine: Even if I talk, he doesn't talk/open up that much. Maybe ganun lang talaga personality n'ya. The problem is, I'm not a mind-reader. Francis: "It is not an excuse. He has to talk to you. You don't need to read his mind. Just look at him." Francine: "If you are in my shoes, you'll understand what I'm trying to say, friend Francis. I think iba pa yata ang priorities n'ya." Francis: "Maybe. I can't understand. I also can't give comment. Just understand him." Francine: " Maybe family and profession ang priorities nya, friend Francis. Hindi lang niya sinasabi sa akin. Pero, I'm not getting any younger..." Francis: "If those two are his priorities, therefore I conclude, he doesn't love you. I'm sorry for this comment." Francine: " Ouch!!! But I heard that comment several ties. You're not the first to tell me that." Francis: "So, what are you waiting for? Leave him. Free him. Let him prioritize his family and career. His actions speak a thousand words, just like "I don't need you." Francine: "But he told me that he loves me, friend Francis." Francis: "Action speaks louder than words, friend. I could as well, tell you "I love you", as often as I want t, but the question is that: How true?" Francine: "Sana ikaw na lang naging bf ko dati, friend Francis...but I know I'm not your type and I accept it." Francis: "Sana.. But we had no enough time to talk and go deeper. We're both inclined in studying . Besides, I had two kids that time. Though, I like you, I never tried." Francine: "Alam ko naman po 'yun, friend Francis dati pa. But I admired you especially your diligence, creativity and everything, positive outlook in life, etc." Francis: "Thanks for your admiration! It is too late. I'm not ideal one for you. You deserve someone who have a decent past." Francine: "I still admire you, friend Francis." Francis: "Thank you!" Francine: "I hope you're not mad at me sa tinext ko sa'yo, friend Francis... I hope di ka magbago... Naiisp ko lang kasi, we could have worked it out kung ikaw sana naging bf ko that time. Napakaganda kasi ng personality mo!" Francis: "It's okay. I won't change. In fact, I want to love you you. Sorry, but you're committed." Francine: "Buti ka pa nga may anak na... Ako, I don't know what will happen... He doesn't talk about us--- about his inner thoughts, his plans about us, etc." Francis: "So you just want a kid?" Francine: " Yup. I also want a successful and happy family," Francis: "You better have a one-on-one talk with him. You plan together." Francine: "It irritates him sometimes and it pressures him. I'll just live and appreciate my other blessings." Francis: "So, what's your plan? You still hoping for him?'' Francine: "He's tired or busy. That's he's excuse most of the time." Francis: "Okay. Just hold on to him. Time will come..I'm just here for you." Francine: " I don't know, friend Francis. I'll try.." Francis: "That's great! You must be strong. But I you will give up, it is better." Francine: "Dati naiiyak ako coz of his insensitivity, pero now hindi na kasi nasanay na ako. I'm trying to understand the situation." Francine: He doesn't want to be reminded of things, doesn't want to hold my hand in public, hr doesn't want to kiss me, etc.. It's bothering me. He's weird sometimes or ako lang talaga ang weird?" Francis: " I also don't kiss my girl in public. I could hold my girl's hand. I just hate PDA." Francine: "Hindi ko naman sinabi sa'yo na i-kiss sa public... hold hand. :> Ikaw talga!" Francis: "Ah, Ok. Sorry.. But, if I were him, I would kiss you. I would have done more than that." Francis: "He is normal. Some men do what your boyfriend is doing." Francine: "I just asked assurance from him, but the last time I told him, he got mad. Francis: "He is not yet ready to commit. He is not meant for you." Francine: (",) Francine: "If you don't mind..how young are you, friend Francis?" Francis:"I'm turning 34 this July. I'm not getting any younger." Francine: "Halos magkaedad lang pala kayo niya." Francis: "At his age, he's supposedly a family man with two or three kids now." Francine: "Tama ka po. Iba pa 'ata priorities." 2 Francis: "Hello, friend! How are you?' Francine: "I'm fine. Uwi ako very early tomorrow, friend Francis... I hope pagbalik ko doon sa boarding home, may signal ang cellphone ko especially Globe sim. Nawalan kasi doon." Francis: "You take care.. I knew you had fun there in our hometown.. Back to school na on Monday." Francine: "Take care too, friend Francis. Mas enjoy sana kung andito ka din po! Nytie nyt.. swet dreams." Francis: "Oo nga! Sana nakapamasyal tayo.. Good night!" 3 Francine: Good night, friend Francis.. Please, take extra care all the time po. Francis: Good evening! I miss you! Francine: I miss you more. Francis: Thank you! I don't know how to explain this feelings.. Francine: Then don't try to explain it to yourself, para wala ka problem, friend Francis. (",) I hope ok ka lagi especially your kids. Francis: Okay. Sinabi mo.. I better keep it. Francine: (",) Keep it locked in your treasure box. Nytie nyt po ulit. rest well. Zzzwit fdreams, dear friend Francis... Francis: :'( Francine: What happened friend Francis? Bakit crying symbol instead of smiley? Bad day po today? Francis: Yes... Hope, you and your boyfriend are fine now.. Sorry for being obstructive. Francis: Yes..because I have to lock my heart in a tereasure box. Francine: I'm fine po. I don't know if he is. We don't talk much po. It's okay po, I'm open naman po sa'yo because I trust you in everything. Francis: I have to think about it agian. i don't want to hurt someone's feelings. Besides, I have no right to fall in love again. Francine: Wala naman po law na bawal na mainlove ulit, pag nainlove na before. (",) Francis: That's true! But I guess, she is not open and ready to accept me.. I just want to be happy..with her. Francine: You can give it a try, friend Francis. She'll be lucky pag magkatulyan kayo. If you want, you can text me her Facebook account. I'll befriend her for you. Pag friends na kami...sabihin ko 'yung great qualities mo that I know para she'll like you too. :> Francis: He he.. No need, friend, because right now, I'm having a text conversation with the lucky girl (as you said). Francine: Really? Do I know her? sa hometown din natin siya nakatira? Just a suggestion: Dapat kilalanin mo po muna siya maigi para sure ka, friend Francis. Francis: Yes! You know her actually. You're right. I have to know her deeply..though she is not capable of hurting someone's heart. Francine: I know her? Sabihin mo na lang nga sa akin kung kayo na po. I better sleep, baka kung sino pa maisip ko na lady. :) Goodluck, dear friend Francis! Francis: Okay.. Good night. Don't think about it too much. I will tell it to you some other time. Sweet dreams. Accompany me in my dreams.... Francine: By the way, walang signal ang globe sim ko, most of the time. Sometimes, mahina din ang signal ng Smart ko. Baka po kasi magalit ka po 'pag di kita mareply-an, friend Francis. Francis:It's alright! I know now.. That's why I'm not texting you, unless you do.. Just text me, anytime. Francine: Tsaka, bihira po akong magtext kasi busy most of the time. Six loads po ako including my advisory class. You know naman po, I don't know much sa traching experience, kaya medyo mabagal pa po ako sa mga gagawin. Thanks po, friend Francis (n_n). You're so kid and humble even madami ka ng achievements in life. Nytie nyt po again... Francis: Kaya mo, friend. I also had experienced the way you're experiencing. It's hard but worth it. You just need an inspiration. 4 They text-conversed after their cellphone conversation. Francine sent him her e-mail address and password. She bestowed her privacy----allowing Francis to change the password if he wants to. Francis: Okay po. I'll save it. Francine: Thanks, dear friend Francis! Francis: Welcome! Francine: Sana magkalapit tayo ng place so we could hang out together, friend Francis. Francis: I hope so. Naisip ko din 'yan. Francine: (",) Francis: What if...? Francine: What if what po? Francis: What if..I fall in love with you? Francine: It won't happen, friend Francis. Francis: Why did you say so? Francine: Because I'm not your type, friend Francis. Francis: That's not true.. I like your attitude and personality. Francine: I'm flattered.. You don't know me 101%. I have my dark side too and I don't deserve a great guy like you. Francis: Yes. Just like you, I also have flaws.. My past doesn't make me a great guy. Francine:Tsaka marami akong hindi alam sa mundo, ang ibang bagay naman alam kong gawin pero hindi kasinggaling mo, friend Francis. Francis: it doesn't matter to me.. Besides, everything can be learned. Francine: Friend Francis, what's important is our present and future. Nobody is perfect. We all commit mistakes but we learn from then. We become stronger and wiser. Francis: That's true! I also don't want to dwell on my past. Francine: That's why you're still a great guy! Francis: He he.. Well, I can't change how you see me. It flatters me..somehow... Let's go back to our topic. Francine: Basta, great guy ka po for me, friend Francis. (Period) Francine: It's time to sleep now, dear friend Francis! (n_n) Francis: Hmm.. Okay. Sleep tight. sweet dreams! Francine: Wag mo na po akong biruin next time ng ganun, friend Francis, medyo awkward po kasi. Baka mailang po ako sa'yo. Nytie nyt...sweet dreams po, friend Francis. Francis: It's not a joke.. But, if you don't like it..okay, I'll respect you. Francine: Okay, friend Francis...:) Di ka pa ma-sleep? May pasok tayo early tomorrow. Francis: I can't sleep. heartache...ruined my sleep. Francine: Why? Something wrong, friend Francis? Francis:Nothing.. I thought you're going to sleep na.. Francine: Sana pero inaalala lang kita... Did I offend you, friend Francis? Francis: Nope! I just want to tell you what I feel..but you think it is a joke. Francine: I just don't know what to say. You're acting strange, friend Francis... I just don't want to offend you or anybody. Francis: :'( Francine; Friend Francis naman, I don't want to offend you! What can I do to cheer you up? Francis: I wanna love you. I'm sorry, but I can't keep it anymore.. Francine: You're just infatuated, friend Francis. Francis: Maybe... So, what should I do? Francine: Ang bilis kasi ng feelings. I think it's infatuation not true love. Let's just be good friends, friend Francis or else things will be complicated between us. Francis: Okay! Sure.. Francine: Na-erase ko ang previous text message mo, di ko pa nabasa. Francis: You have erased the most important text of mine.. Francine: I didn't mean it. I have erased it accidentally. You can resend it if you want po. Francis: No. I won't send it to you again because it might complicate our friendship. Francine: Please, resend it. it will not complicate our friendship. I promise! Francis: Mahal kita. (resent) Francine: Thanks, friend Francis. Honestly, I like you during our college days until now, friend Francis pero di na ako pwedeng lumampas dyan. Francis: It's alright! Just let me love you. I will not ask you to love me back. I always tell you that I have no right to fall in love again.. It is my fault. I'm not learning. Tsk tsk. Francine: Friend Francis! :< Ayaw kitang mahirapan. i don't want to hurt your feeling... Francis: Okay.. If it means goodbye, for you, but, I will always be here.. Francine: Friend Francis naman, please don't say goodbye... Francis: I'm just here.. Francine: If you say goodbye, you'll hurt me, friend Francis. Francis: You still have your boyfriend. I'm just your friend. I just want to give you time.. (Minutes later......) Francine: Friend Francis, tulog na tayo. Francis: Good night! Francine: Ako naman tuloy ang hindi makatulog. Francis: Get some rest.. Everything will turn out right tomorrow. Francine: Buti ka pa binibigyan mo ako ng time. Four days na ako di tinetxt ng bf ko. Francis: It means...I treasure you and he dumps you... Francine: Ouch! Francine: Buti ka pa, you always lend me a helping hand, friend Francis. Francine: You're so good to me... Thank you very much for everything! 5 Francine: Hi, friend Francis! How are you? How's your day? Francis: I'm not fine. Francine: Why do you say so? :< Bad day? Francis: I am sleepless last night. Francine: SORRY!!! I KNOW IT'S MY FAULT, friend Francis. Please, eat yur dinner ASAP so that you can sleep early. Good night and sorry again! Francine: Frienfd Francis, I feel sad too... Nalulungkot ako tuloy ako kasi nalulungkot ka din po. I want to cheer you up but I don't know what to do. Francis: It's okay.. We need time.. Francine: Friend Francis...are you mad at me? Francis: I have no reason to get mad at you.. Francine: What do you mean we need time? nahiya tuloy ako sa'yo... Francis: You said last night that it is so fast... So, we have to go back from where we are before. Francine: Alright, let's just try to forget our feelings. thanks for the replies. Please, eat well. 6 The next day.. Francis: I miss you! Francine: I miss you, too! The day passed by.. Francine: Hello, friend Francis! How's your day? What's up? Francis: I'm fine! Francine: (: Third day... Francis: Missing you... Francine: Missing you, too... More than an hour later.. Francis: "True love doesn't have a happy ending because true love never ends. Letting go is one way of saying I love you." Francis: Good night! 7 Francine called him after an hour. She explained to Francis why she was not able to reply to his text message. Their conversation lasted one hour. They talked about many matters.. Then, they text-conversed.. Francine: Unable to connect ka na po friend Francis. Francis: Okay lang, sige tulog na tayo. Thanks for the calls. Good night! Francine: Thanks for answering my calls, dear friend Francis! (",) Francis: welocome! I had fun talking to you.. Francine: I had more fun! Francis: <3 Francine: See you in dreamland, Francis! Francis: See you there! Francine: By the way, thanks for the nice quote, Francis. Francis: It's alright. Wala lang ako ma-send. Emo lang kanina. Francine: (",) Natutuwa ako sa'yo talaga these days. Francis: Bakit naman? Francine: You can make me smile most of the time. Francis: Thanks! It means something.. Francine: Really? Francis: Yeah! And you know what it is.. Francine: Tell me.. Francis: No. You tell me. Francine: Ikaw na baka iba naman yata. Francis: Give it a try.. Francine: Ikaw na. Francis: Francine: Pwede ba 'yang something na 'yan? Francis: Pwede. Francine: (n_n) Francis: Sige na, let's sleep.. Francine: Ayaw. Francis: Sige.. Di pa ako antok. Francine: Ano nga 'yung something? Francis: That something is the feelings, we don't want to talk about.. So we must forget it, especially when we are not ready. Francine: Froi.. Francis: What? Francine: Exactly. So what now? Francis: I dunno know.. What do you want me to say and do? I really don't know. Francine: I want you to say something. Francine: Anything. Francis: I LOVE YOU! That's all I can say... Francine: But our situation is complicated... What now? Francis: That's the big problem.. I told you, I have no right to fall in love again.. Francine: Wala naman sa akin problema kung may mga anak ka na po. Francis: Good, but you have boyfriend..I'm married. It is forbidden.. Francine: Okay lang sa akin. Sa'yo hindi. Francis: What do you mean? Francine: You know what I mean. Francis: No. Francine: I want you to do something. Francis: Like what? Francine: Anything. Francis: This very moment? And in our distance? No I can't. Francine: Yes, you can. Francis: Give me an idea.. Francine: I want it to be your idea. Francis: I'm tired of thinking.. Maybe tomorrow..

Tuwang-tuwa ako that time. (n_n) Francis: Oo. Can't forget that. I stil have that book. I displayed that in my reading corner.

Pamilyang Ayayay

Ag iyong nanay ay tsimay
Sa malaking bahay
Ang iyong tatay ay alalay
Ng isang mahilig sa lagay
Ang kuya mo ay laging high
Sa ilalim ng tulay
Ang ate mo, pasuklay-suklay
Bunot ng bunot ng kilay
Ang bunso nyo'y palaaway
Natuto pang tumagay
Ikaw naman ay tambay
Hari ng sablay.

Ano na 'yan, Ayayay?!
Iyong nanay at tatay
Panay ang hanapbuhay
Kayo naman, pulos pasaway
Kung di adik, tambay
Kung di kikay, palaaway
Hay! Ayayay, ang buhay!

Tingnan mo nga iyong tatay
Pagod na pagod, tulo-laway
Alam mo ba, iyong nanay
Gusto nang mamatay?
Tapos, ika'y patambay-tambay
Pagtulog mo, panay-panay
Ba't di ka gumaya sa Bombay?!

Hoy, pamilyang Ayayay!
Buhay nyo'y walang kulay
Aaw n'yo bang magtagumpay?
Pangarap ay abot-kamay
Kumilos ka lang, Ayayay
Pilay nga'y nagsisikhay
Para lang makamit ang tagumpay
Kayo pa kaya, Ayayay!

Buhay ay magkakakulay
Mapupuno ng saysay
Kumpleto pa naman iyong kamay
Para maghanapbuhay.

Humayo ka, Ayayay!
Kumilos at sumikhay
Kamtin, pangako ng buhay.

HONEY: Bee, manuod naman tayo ng sine. Two years na tayo pero ni minsan, di mo pa ako niyayang magsine.

BEE: I hate watching movie. Iba na lang ang yayain mo.

HONEY:  Bakit ayaw mo? Hindi ka ba nagsasawa sa TV o DVD? Hay! Gusto ko big screen!

HONEY: Why naman?

BEE: Madaya sila. Madaya!

HONEY: Anong madaya ang pinagsasabi mo?

BEE: Alam mo bang noong bata pa ako, nanood akong mag-isa ng sine. After 25 minutes, labasan na. Ni hindi ko nasimulan.

HONEY: Hay, naku naman, Bee! Ignoramus ka talaga!

TINTA (Screenplay)

Habang pinakikinggan kita, kaibigan, hindi ko lubos na maintindihan kung bakit hindi kayo nagkakilala man lang ng ama mo o hindi man lang nakita ng Mama mo ang Daddy ni Anna sa loob ng limang taon ninyong pagiging magkasintahan. To think na hindi na imposible sa panahon ngayon, dahil sa social media at teknolohiya. Okay lang ba na ulitin ko ang kuwento mo? Okay! Thank you! Naging bahagi ng love story niyo ang gotohan sa university na pinapasukan ninyo ni Anna. Sweet! Pero, ordinaryong love story kung tutuusin. Pero, parang bombang sumabog sa puso ko at utak ko nang sabihin mong ang lolo pala ng anak niyo ni Anna ay siyang ama mo, na matagal mo nang itinatanong sa iyong ina. Durog na durog ang puso ko ngayon. Ramdam ko ang pag-iyak mo, bro! Kakaiba. Nakakalungkot. Magandang istorya ito. Hindi pala maganda. Masalimuot. Kung ako man ay magiging nobelista, isusulat ko ang kuwentong mo. Salamat sa pagtitiwala mo sa akin, Lawrence. It's my pleasure na ibahagi mo sa akin ang iyong kuwento. Hindi ko actually alam ang sasabihin ko. Nakakapangpa-speechless ang kuwento mo. Grabe! Imagine, apat na taon kayong naging mag-jowa. Sa loob ng mga panahon na iyon, hindi man lang ba naitanong ng magulang ni Anna ang background mo? Hindi man lang ba nila kinilala ang kasintahan ng anak nila? O kahit ikaw, hindi mo man lang ba naisip na kilalanin ang mga magulang nila at ikuwento sa iyong ina? Alam mo, may pagkakamali ka rin, bro! Nagkulang ka. Oo, sinabi mong naging busy kayo sa pag-aaral. Ikaw, ay sa pag-aabogasya. Si Anna ay sa pagiging nurse. Pero, iba kapag pumasok kayo sa isang relasyon. Hindi lang dapat ang isa't isa ang kikilalanin ninyo. Dapat ding makilala ninyo ang mga pamilya at kamag-anak ng bawat isa, dahil kahit papaano ay makakasama niyo sila. Tingnan mo 'yan! Nangyari ang isang relasyon na bawal. Nakabuo kayo ng isang anghel sa inyong pag-iibigan. Oo, hindi niyo alam na magkapatid kayo sa ama. Pero, I guess, maiiwasan sana ninyo kung noon pa lamang ay naging matapat kayo sa inyong mga magulang. Oo! Nandun na ako! Unang nagkamali ang Mama mo, dahil inilihim niya sa'yo ang pangalan at apelyido ng inyong ama. Bata ka pa lang ay parang pinatay na niya ang iyong ama. Mali naman na maghiganti ka pa sa iyong ama. Ama mo pa rin siya. Kung may sisihin ka pang iba, isama mo ang iyong ina. Pero, huwag na, bro. Huwag mo nang dagdagan pa ang bigat ng iyong pasanin. Sige, bro..iiyak mo 'yan. .. Ngayon, tell me. Anong gusto mong itanong sa akin? Huwag mo nang sundan! For goodness'sake, Lawrence. Si Anna na mismo ang gumawa ng paraan para layuan ka. Sabi mo nga, ipinasabi lang niya sa kaibigan mo na aalis na siya. Asawa mo siya, dapat nag-usap kayo. Pero, hindi..iniwan ka niya. Tinakas ang anak niyo. Oo, natural na magagalit ka sa iyong ama! Kahit ako..kung tatay ko siya, binatukan ko na. Kaso, wala na rin siya. Nasa America na silang mag-anak, kasama ang iyong anak. Masakit. Napakasakit. Pero, wala ka nang magagawa, bro. Sila mismo ang umayaw na makipag-usap sa'yo. Sinadya nila. Ilang araw ang lumipas, simula nang malaman mong siya ang tatay mo, pero gumawa ba sila ng paraan para magkausap kayo? Hindi! Oo nga! Pinatay mo ang koneksyion mo para pagtuunan ang bar exam mo. No Facebook. No cellphone. Wala lahat! As in zero communication. Kaya, may mali ka rin doon, kaibigan... Mali ka. Maling-mali na pinatay mo lahat ang posibilidad. Well, it's too late.. Kahit nga ang Mama mo ay walang aksiyong ginawa. After ng incident na magkita-kita kayo noong magba-bar exam ka, anyare? Wala, di ba? Ni hindi kayo nag-usap ng Mama mo. Nagpokus ka sa exam mo. Makasarili ka rin, e. Kung sana'y pumunta ka bahay ng mga biyenan mo, disin sana'y hindi sa'yo nawala ang pinakamamahal mong anak. There's no point, Lawrence, na habulin mo pa ang anak mo. Hayaan mo na siya. Magiging mabuti ang buhay niya dun sa States. Hindi! Huwag mong isipin na sinadya mo. Magkaiba kayo ng tatay mo. Oo, naulit ang pangyayari sa'yo at sa anak mo. Maramot ang nanay mo at si Anna. Ayaw nilang makilala nila ang tunay na ama ng mga anak nila. Oo, natural nakakatakot. There's a possibility na mangyari uli sa anak niyo ni Anna ang nangyari sa inyong ni Anna. Na-gets mo ba? Let's put it this way. Ang anak mo na tinakas ni Anna ay hindi ka na makikilala. Posible iyon. Dahil ngayon pa lang ay ipinaramdam na iyon ni Anna at ng kanyang pamilya. So, malaya ka. Malaya ka naman talaga dahil hindi naman kayo kasal ni Anna. Be thankful for that. Hindi naman talaga pwede, kasi. But! Kapag na-in-love ka uli sa isang babae, chances are magkaanak kayo. Pwedeng babae ang maging anak niyo. Who knows, magtagpo ang anak niyo ni Anna. Ano ngang name niya? Ah... Jorge! Nice name! Darating ang araw ay magbibinata si Jorge. Hindi sa hinihingi ko, pero posible. Posibleng ang magiging anak mo sa mamahalin mong babae ay magtatagpo at magkakaibigan, not knowing that their father is you. Wow! Napakasalimuot ng buhay! Tragical.. Hindi kita masasaklawan, kaibigan. I just listened to you. It so happened na na-inclined ako kaya nag-re-react ako ng ganito. Okay!? You want to hear my side... Huwag ka ng mag-asawa, kung ako, ikaw.. Sorry, bro, pero iyon ang nakikitang tamang desisyon. Maiisip o kasi lagi na baka ang babaeng minamahal mo ay kapatid mo pala. Maiisip mo rin na baka maulit ang history. So, to stop the curse... Sorry, for the word. It's not actually a curse. It's God's trial. So, para matigil na ang paulit-ulit na pangyayari.. you better stop loving a woman. You focus on your career. Sabi mo nga, mas priority mo noon ang pagiging lawyer kaya hindi mo kaagad naisip na kausapin ang iyong ama. Sige, be a career man na lang para makalimutan mo ang pangyayaring ito. Isipin mo na lang na walang suspect o dapat i-prosecute. Lahat kayo ay biktima. Pinakakawawa lang talaga si Jorge. But God is good all the time. Tutal. Lawyer ka na ngayon.. You know what is right and wrong. Ikaw pa rin ang may hawak ng desisyon. Sorry lang dahil.. lalo yatang gumulo ang isip mo. Salamat kung ganun. Sayang kulang ang oras natin. Salamat! Salamat sa pagtitiwala. Ipagdarasal kita..

A Essay of a Writer

        With pride, I consider myself a writer --- a writer-by-heart, a writer who uses heart.

      I haven't studied creative writing or any related course, but my advocacy to literature gives me the right to proclaim strongly that I'm a writer.

     I have only completed two literature subjects in college yet I have read several materials. That's what makes me a writer.

       Mock me now! Laugh at me loud. i don't care! I will still call myself a poet, a fictionist, a novelist, an essayist, a playwright, a psalmist, a scriptwriter or, in short, a writer.

       Yes, I'm a writer because I love books. I was called once a bookworm or library person by my co-staffer in our college paper. Voraciously, I read a lot, because I do believe, all greatest writers are voracious readers. All books, in addition, were made because the authors read. Reading is indeed part of writing.

       Huh! I'm a writer because I underwent boredom before. My lonesome was then cured by writing a novel. I should say, writing is form of boredom management.

                 Ouch! My heart was broken by a girl. For that, I'm a writer. I have forgotten that I was severely devastated by so-called love when I finished a poem. It's true. Writing is a great healer. Writers become open-minded and pain-proofed.

        Have I convinced you now?

       Then, I'm a writer. Writing is my hobby. Often, I write for the sake of collection. My secondary purpose of writing is to have a compilation of literary pieces that I can pass on to my next generation. It's possible, isn't it? Literature, like history, repeats itself and lasts forever as long as it is appreciated.

       Writer is me.. Writer is me!

       I'm writing because I wanted to make my pieces into a book. Who knows? I have been rejected several times but I will not quit writing by a mere rejection. Every well-known writer had experienced failure. they were once criticized and rejected. Yet, they stand still for the same goal. Writers, therefore, are not quitters!

        I'm writing because I have got inspirations --- beautiful ladies who stole my heart and turned my head;  friends, who treated me special: family with endless love and understanding: spectacular views and places around: and everything under the sun and above the land. A good writer is, in fact, observant. He could conceptualize even from the smallest thing he sees. our world is full of writing ideas.

        Call me materialistic or whatever. It doesn't matter to me. The truth is I'm writing because of rewards. Oftentimes, magazines and journals advertise an invitation for a literary or writing contests. I have been an applicant many times before. despite of failure, i'm still hopeful. someday, I could hit the prize. However, it is not only the at-stake that matters to me, but the pride. Being chosen among the aspirants is such a rewarding experience. Awardees are those who stand out and prominent. Their words were paid off and at the same time, they were put to the hall of the most famous people.

         I'm a writer. I will not be tired to write it.

         I'm a writer..

         I'm a writer..

         I'm a writer..

         I will not be tired to write, rather..
