happy birthday tinker

to the green fairy i've known for so long
who at times ill-tempered and vindictive,
other times helpful and kind...
o tanjoubi omedetou!

may you never get tired of sprinkling pixie dust, enabling others fly.

this is tower... please identify yourself

can’t remember when my attraction to flight attendants started. but until now they never fail to attract me. the way they dress, the chic make-up, the neatly fixed hair. the slender body, the modest but confident movement. but the most, i love the sweet and welcoming smile, which most of the girls misinterpret as flirty, haha! hay, nakaka-bobo.

angel came out of nowhere
and vanish without a warning
angel, like and angel

just like these 2 young ladies i bumped with last night. the moment they step on the train, i can certainly tell that they are learning very well from the flight attendant school. still trainees, as revealed by their wcc aviation uniform, but a distinctive personality are already in plain sight. lucky enough one sat by my side. i can’t help myself but say “ang ganda mo ate,” and i was replied by a pleasant smile. nonetheless it’s already past 8:00 in the evening, her face still depicts a sunrise: so fresh, so bright. hay, nakaka-bobo talaga. but it’s already a station away from home and still, i can’t find words to start a conversation. hirap talaga ng torpe… tsek! tsek! tsek! bye for now. will see you again soon. on board, i hope. or maybe along the hangar.

and when she moves
the way she glides across the room
just like an angel
i wish that i could see her one more time

and every time i saw one rekindles my childhood dream of working in the aviation industry. the hope is still there. the possibility is still there. i believe.

for now i’ll just enjoy watching attendants’ flight while waiting for my chance. sooner i hope… sayang ang miles.

how far have you gone so far?

they used to say:
it's the journey, not the destination.
but i may say,
sometimes, the destination matters...
reaching it counts.
and who you're with is a bonus.

sorry na ha...

first few lines captured by my eyes today that worthy to live by...
for a strange reason, it reminded me of the nido "i got stinky, i got dirty, but see, i learned" advertisement.

“life is too short. grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. laugh when you can. apologize when you should and let go of what you can change. love deeply and forgive quickly. take chances. give everything but have no regrets… life is too short to be unhappy. you have to take the good from the bad. smile when you’re sad. love what you got. learn from your mistakes but never regret. people change and some things go wrong. but always remember... LIFE goes on”.

it does make a lot of sense indeed.
hope i could observe it more often.

07. ga by e-mail:

ga, it’s been raining lately and it reminded me of you… but i’m sure sad ka pa rin kasi wala ako sa tabi mo, hehehe! i’m back from singapore 4 months ago. yes, i gave up my career… i need to. i know it’s not the best solution but i just don’t want to complicate things more. oh, well! now here in davao, managing my cousin’s beauty saloon. it’s totally a whole new world. less stress i hope. nga pala, we’re still waiting… already tried friends’ advice pero wala parin talaga eh. BUT still, i won’t take your offer, gago ka! hehe!

who you like I’m gonna be in your whole new world? hmmm… i can be the merchant. "ahh! salam and good evening to you worthy friend. please, please come closer. too close! a little too close. there! welcome to agrabah." namputs! ngayon ka pa ba naman aatras? like what you’ve said before, you just broke your wings, you still have legs to move on.

p.s.: my offer is still valid. hehe!


08. kr thru ym:

hi... we're planning to have our pre-nup pictorial there. pwede ba? sa labas lang naman. kanino kaya pwede mag-paalam? favor please.

wowowow! you really made me laugh! with the warehouse and the sales building on the background? WHAT? sabi ko naman sa’yo di maganda epekto ng drugs sa utak kapag sobra eh! share mo kasi sakin para di ka nasosobrahan. even when you explained the significance, that it’s where you two met and knew each other, still can’t stop myself laughing. i’m not sure if the management will allow, but i’m sorry my crazy friend, i can’t find enough guts to ask permission. baduy kasi nung idea, baka mabatukan lang ako! hehehe! have it on a more secluded and really nice place, please. you won’t regret it.

and another WHAT?! what the hell in the world you got the idea of getting married? i know you already think of it twice. now think a hundred more. a thousand, maybe.

teka, kelan nga ba?


09. mj thru sms:

hi pare! i got my hair curled… hubby’s gift on my birthday. not the telephone-cord-type pero hindi rin sobrang laki ng mga waves. yung tama lang.

i assumed it as an Anne Curtis’ or Marian Rivera’s look but you said it’s not. "ah basta, maganda ako but i won’t let you see my hair!" You quipped.

shoot! i will ask somebody take your picture. and for that, i have all the reason in the world na laitin ka kung para sakin pangit buhok mo! walang iyakan ha :)

OT: how are you and your boss? stay cool ha, wag mo aawayin… kawawa naman.


ladies, i'm glad you still keep in touch. pero di ko pa rin nalilimutan utang n'yo sakin. at parang gusto ko na maningil! :)
