Cigarettes After Sex

Image
You woke up in a different bed. The place doesn't seem familiar. Of course, you didn't look around because there's no time for that once your lips touch. And now you're looking around, noticing the undone dishes, the stack on the table, and the dust on your headboard. You didn't care about those things when your bodies were all heat up - on the spur of the moment - last night. After all, that's all what you came for - satisfaction, pleasure, and flesh. You moved and saw the body of the person you were so eager to touch. You turned to yourself and saw that red blemish under your chest. You tried but failed. At your frustration, it didn't go away. You reached your top and as you fitted that wrinkled cloth, you searched for your underwear. You uncovered the blanket, only to cover more the nude person on the other side. There you saw what you were looking for. You finally stood up, dressed until someone woke up and bothered you. "What time is it?...

Nightmare

I don’t know where to start. I had a dream, a nightmare. It’s a nightmare and it creeps the hell outta me. Yea, I’m scared. I know that I don’t really have to share this but something just urges me to write it. I also want to prevent experiencing de ja vu or to be prepared in the future so let me write my dream. First night in my dream Our bed was still a double-deck. My brother is sleeping under while I’m on the top. (I can’t really determine the exact image of my dream. I can’t; maybe because it wasn’t a lucid dreaming. I couldn’t repeat that image when I was in sleep. If you’re confused, I may repeat a certain dream when I’m in that state. Maybe you’re not familiar with it but to those who can relate, you can understand me.) Back to my brother, he stated that there was a little girl in his bed when he got in. I can’t remember where I was when he said that. I can’t also remember the exact position of the both of us. (That’s all I can recall for the first night). Second Night (Right n...

Essay: PHOBIA

Image
Fear is a choice. Danger is real. Do you fear anything?   Is it too scary or creepy? Do your fears control you or can you control your fears? Can you manage your fears? Can you do whatever it takes just to overcome it? Do you let others know about your fears? Have you ever sought help to get rid of it? Have you ever thought if that fear really terrified you?  All of us have something to fear. Most of us have something to hide from. Each one of us has something to keep with ourselves.              Phobia. What is Phobia? It is a persistent fear of something that the victim is experiencing. Sometimes it may turn as an extreme fear of an object, specific creatures or situations in the surroundings. We cannot determine one’s fear unless there’s something that triggered it; for example, when someone has a fear with certain insect and the sufferer unintentionally touched it or even just saw it, he/she migh...

Essay: LIFE

Image
“Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, only a comedy for the rich and a tragedy for the poor.” Life is a choice, a choice to be good and a choice to be bad. Life is a gift, a gift given to you every day. Life is a blessing, a blessing when you wake up every morning. Life is everything, everything you want and everything you wish. Life is a decision, a decision to continue or end it. Life is a path, a path to go forward or to move backward. Life is a reality and a fantasy, a reality when you open your eyes and just a fantasy only in your mind. Life is the gap between birth and death. It is the presence of existence and not the absence of it. Life is being alive. It is how you value the time given to you by the Creator. It is how you live and survive everyday challenges. Life is how you accept the tests and trials set by this world. It is a gift and a blessing that check us if we’re worthy of it. Life is created to make changes, to make new things, and to discover myst...

Essay: EGO VS HUMANS

Image
“It is not about who's better in proving a point. It is about how good you are in controlling your ego,” a piece of thoughtful advice  from my classmate. That advice is a meaningful one. That statement ruled me on my every action. It becomes one of my life guides in associating people. But first, do you know what is ego? Do you have any idea on how it affects your relationship with others? Can you say how high or low your ego is? Can you manage it by associating your fellowmen? Do you ever mind your ego? What is ego? Every time I’m hearing the word “ego”, there’s something always goes on my mind, the term “better”. It is the opinion that you have about yourself, according to my dictionary. It is synonymous with your pride and self-esteem. It is how you see yourself as better and more important than others. It is only your own thinking that minds how others look at you. It is the thing in your mind that always matters in dealing with others. We all have different egos. Each ...

Essay: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Image
A world without Science is like Facebook without friends, YouTube without videos, Twitter with no trends, Instagram with no followers and Google without results. A world without technology is like a song without notes, a phone with no contacts, a movie without a plot, a pen with no ink and a book without writings. Science is the study of everything. Technology is the application of Science. Science helps our daily living. Technology improves our existence.  My classmate once told me, “Imagine a world without Science.” I need to think about it. While I’m imagining, my Mind starts to laugh. “There’s no world without Science,” teased my Mind. Yes, that’s right. Science is a natural matter in this world. Everything in this world is observed and tested through Science. We have to base our life on it. It will help us to learn new things. Science can give us a better way of living. Technology is using Science for the vantage of this world. It is made to help others, to assist lives a...

One Month at U.P.

Image
What a blunt title, right? Well, I couldn't title it any better now. One Professor admittedly told us this TRUTH!!! It's been more than a month for me - as evident as paying this month's dorm rent, shopping for my grocery, evaluating my personal and academic routine, and keeping my sanity. I'm not going to write a regular entry on my UP Life, or will I? It just happens that I got hundreds of reads with my prior entry about U.P. and I guessed that some of you might still be interested about 'me' or just my 'UP Life' perspective, OR "UP" alone. Regardless, CONSIDER YOURSELF AS PART OF MY JOURNEY NOW! I might as well take you into places, but you have the freedom to stop reading my potential blogs re my take on my college life. So what has happened in the first month of my stay in Diliman? (Though I regularly go back to Los Banos every weekend because ELBI IS HOME - always has been, always will be ) Exhausting Having a no-break/no-vac...

Essay: TIME AND CHANGE

Image
What is the only constant thing in this world? Is it the one you cannot stop or even control? Is it the one which is everlasting and endless? Or is it the one that is unstoppable and impossible to interfere with? Change is the only thing that’s constant in this world and that Change is only a matter of Time. Time is unstoppable and so is Change. It is ceaseless and endless. Time is eternal and infinite. Change is everlasting! You can’t control it but you can manage it. You cannot pause the time; however, you must continue whatever the conditions are. You can’t bring it back; but then again, you can prepare for the future. Soon, we must face the changes in this world. But that change is up to us because we’re humans. We are the only living beings in this world that have control in this Creation. No one can stop the upcoming changes in this world. It is impossible but we can do something. We could manage our present actions for the future to be better; moreover, we can make some ch...
