Commercial Break

Sino ba naman ang hindi tatambling kung isang umaga, habang nagpapaalam ka sa nanay mo dahil papasok ka na sa work eh eto ang ihihirit sayo:

"Anak, ingat ingat ka jan sa kaka-night out mo ha. Alam mo naman, baka meron kang makursunahang babae, eh mauwi kung saan, baka magka-AIDS ka pa. Lagi kang magsusuot ng condom ha."

Jusko, as if...

Kung pwede ko lang maihirit na:

"Mamooh naman!!!" (Sabay hawi ng blonde hair na umabot na sa malate dahil sa haba)

o kaya

"Jusme paano ako magkaka-AIDS eh linggo linggo nasa bahay yung ka-jug ko ever!"

Nga namang umaga to o!

Tamang Senti Lang

Minsan habang nagyoyosi ako sa labas ng bahay ng madaling araw. Parang nakikinita ko pa rin yung pick-up kung saan nag-iinuman kaming magkakatropa. Magpapakalasing sabay matutulog na magkakatabi sa bahay.

Tuwing titingala ako upang pagmasdan ang mga bituin, naalala ko yung mga happenings ko tuwing madaling araw, yung mga adventures ko kasama si Roy, yung mga gimik ko sa Malate at Mint noong mga panahong kaya ko pang ma-afford maging careless.

Sa tuwing magdadapit hapon, makikita ko ang araw na papalubog, at maaalala kong yun ang favorite moment ko noong kabataan ko. Nung panahong my garden pa ako, magpapakawala ako ng sarili sa piling ng aking mga halaman, noong high school naman, yun ang time na umuuwi ako galing sa arcade games.

Nakakabwisit minsan. Ang bilis ng panahon.

Minsan, nangangarap ako... sana habambuhay na lang ako twenty one.

Green Day
Wake Me Up When September Ends

Summer has come and passed,
the innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.
Like my fathers come to pass,
seven years has gone so fast.

Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,
falling from the stars.
Drenched in my pain again,
becoming who we are.
As my memory rests,
but never forgets what I lost.

Wake me up when September ends.

Summer has come to pass,
the innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.
Ring out the bells again,
like we did when Spring began.

Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,
falling from the stars.
Drenched in my pain again,
becoming who we are.
As my memory rests,
but never forgets what I lost.

Wake me up when September ends.

Summer has come to pass,
the innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Like my fathers come to pass,
twenty years has gone so fast.
Wake me up when September ends.
Wake me up when September ends.
Wake me up when September ends.
