Am I or Am I Not?

I’ve been asked one question thrice today. Different contexts, different people, different situations. I only have one answer to all — a resounding YES — even if my heart screams no, and my head imagines all possible permutations of my answer.

Are you ready for that?
Unfortunately, there is no option to say “no”. When faced with a take it or leave it scenario, taking it is more risky but generally leads to favorable results (at least in hindsight). We only regret things we don’t do…because Character Building is the term for failed attempts.

Are you ready for that?
I am, but is there a way to delay? Yeah yeah, change knows no compromise for time. It happens when it does, and it whoops down on us before we can say “wait!”.

Are you ready for that?
Is there actually a proven formula to prepare for change (except Change Management, hehe)? Playing smoke & mirrors is killing me, but it does provide a window of reflection and thought. Question is, do i want that? Would it help me? Am i just trying to justify the reasons or am i really looking for answers?

Are you? Ready for that?
My heart screams no, and my head is churning with permutations. But i will give you my answer: always it will be…YES.

Will You?

“…tinatanggap mo bang maging kaisang dibdib,
maging kabiyak ng iyong puso,
sa habang buhay,
sa hirap at ginhawa,
sa sakit man o kalusugan,
at mamahalin mo siya
sa habangbuhay…?”

I Wish I Could Go Back to College

i wonder if i had the same look of intensity when i was doing my first case study paper for one of my Majors.

take it easy, bro. no one’s died of making a paper, though i might disown you if you don’t get a KWATRO (yep, AdMU and DLSU have similar grading systems). hahaha, kidding.

thanks for letting me take your pic. :p

More Today Than Yesterday

sana alam mong para sa’yo ito.

I don’t remember what day it was
I didn’t notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I’ll be spending time with you

Every day’s a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I’ll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Capturing the Love

weddings are such happy occassions. for me it’s like a well-spent vacation — weeks, months, and years after you go back to reality, you remember everything with that wistful smile.

today, we joined two of our friends as they did their pre-nuptial shoot. we had some difficulties on the way but it wasn’t enough to kill the couple’s spirits. good thing the weather cooperated with us, and we had good use of the fast-diminishing daylight. it was good.

thank you  Gian and Jeanie for letting us be a part of your church wedding preparations! looking forward to the Big Day! all the best to both of you!
