remember our summer?

we keep running for the thrill of it

I've been spending a lot of time with my high school friends lately and it just made me appreciate life so much more. i know how cheesy that sounds but you know how sometimes, life becomes too much like a routine already? and we do the same thing over and over again? i dunno, i guess i was so sick of that kind of life, and i didn't even realize it until i went back to the basics...i disappeared from the world and immersed myself into this sanctuary far from all the craziness i've let myself get trapped into. just GOOD, CLEAN, CHILL, moments with people who know you best and just don't bullshit with you. the people who wouldn't give a damn if they saw your boob pop out of your bikini, or those that wont let your barok words slide. Those that could tease you about the past but be sensitive enough to know what makes you feel bad or down. These are the people that will pick you up every time you need a ride because they know your presence matters. these are the people that matter. these are the people that care. At some point during my rush through freshman year, i saw myself lost and stuck in some parrallel universe; i couldn't leave because a part of me needed it to grow up, and truth be told, i did grow up... a lot. it scares me because i don't want to lose myself. i don't want to forget. After all that has been said and done about being different and having found others, i find myself a bit sunkissed from the city's sun. Yup, it was yet another trip buddina beach and it feels like nothing has changed at all.

Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life.

We're meant to lose the people we love. How else are we supposed to know how important they are?

Did I ever tell you I been struck by lightning seven times?

You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You can swear and curse the fates; but in the end, you have to let go.

It's funny how sometimes the people we remember the least make the greatest impression on us.

You never know what's comin' for ya.

It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.

For what it's worth, it's never too late, or in my case too early - to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit; stop whenever you want. You can change, or stay the same - there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss.

I wanna remember us just as we are now.

Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away
You say I’m not your type, But I can make you sway
....
‘Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
....
Sometimes you move so well
It’s hard not to give in.
....
I’m lost, I can’t tell
Where you end and I begin.
It makes you burn to learn
I'm with another man.
I wonder if he’s half
The lover that I am.
....
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind
Take me down, but take it easy
Make me think but don’t deceive me
Talk to me bout taking your time
....

when we sang this song to each other, and we jokingly said it was our song for each other... it didnt really hit me until today how it really is US.

Back in Assumption, every school year, i would look forward for the day that i would get new basketball shoes... it was such a thrill for me to look for the perfect "not manly" kicks. And there would be one day, ffrom each of the the last 7 years, that i would come home with a brand new pair of basketball shoes. my "pride and joy". whoever said the basketball court was not a fashion show? but among the 7 (or more) shoes that i have had... there is only one that i would use OVER and OVER again. It was a match made in heaven. i loved how my feet fit perfectly on them. i loved how its white and silver design was so sleek and so clean looking. i would probably say, not counting the designer shoes my mom has given me, those nike air zoom lebrons were my ultimate favorite shoes.

i have played my best games in those shoes. they were my shoes during my freshman year, under a new coaching system. even if everything was new, i was able to adjust and was even the only freshman to be part of the starting 5. We won the championships that year and i had my first double double that same year too. it may seem crazy that i attribute my achievements to the shoes, but they sure did have an impact on how i performed. its funny, just like the movie "like mike" i believed so much in my lebrons that at some point of my basketball life, i had a series of off games, that i just had to wear my old lebrons and put my new shiny jordans aside just to break the dry spell in my game. It was a magical love affair.

today, i was given the privilege to wear it for one last time in Gym class. josh and rehi were even making fun of how old and dirty they looked. When i got home, i took them off, as if it were any other shoe... i kicked it off with my other foot... and bam... particles of what seemed like powderized sole dispersed to the cold air of my room... my shoes were gone. they were destroyed... the sole fell off and now, i am mourning. not only does it end my relationship with the shoe, but also somehow gives me a taste of reality... i no longer play basketball, and it is no longer an integral part of my life. :(

rest in peace, white lebrons... you were loved. :(

oh and...

" some people are very sensitive to smell"

i think i count as one of them. i remember during one of our retreats in antipolo, i made such a big deal about how dea would eat her stupid salt and vinegar chips near me. the smell just made me nauseous. Or, how i'm probably the only filipino that can't and will not ever eat instant pancit canton because the smell of the preservatives make me sick. I'm also usually the first to react when someone has body odor. even the slightest tinge of "putok" i can smell... but, just as how sensitive i am to the pungent scents of the world, i am twice as intrigued and attached to the good things i smell. Like the smell of a newly opened luggage fresh from the US makes me so happy. Or the smell of gasoline (haha i know, its weird. but i like it!). Even with guys, you can look like a dead toe, but be the most good looking person to me all because you're wearing clinique happy or some abercrombie scent... or like you, no matter how common your scent may be, every time a similar scent enters my nostrils, i think about you, and how refreshing it is to be around you. oh, and p.s. it's good to know you like my scent too ;)
