Distant or Up Close...

I'm trying on new masks to cover my heart but the transition of me from being open and close to people to being distant is taking the best of me.. everything I do seems wrong.. I've hurt people in my path, potential good friends have shutted themselves coz of my stupidity.. someone has even told me right in the face that the main reason why I want to talk to older people is because I'm too immature for my age :( ...there were even questions of "If you don't trust someone, then how can you trust yourself?" :( na I am a person with so many standards daw.. and one needs to prove himself worthy in order to be my friend :(

I know those personal attacks were not meant to hurt me, I know they were out of frustration on their part.. and yet I didn't have the guts or capability to explain my side..

...I'm just afraid to hurt again.. by being distant, by building a wall around my heart, by not wanting to show myself too quickly.. I would be able to choose those whom I can trust.. I would be able to know my acquaintances more and more.. and by this, I'll be able to avoid being rejected thus avoiding possible hurts in case the person would not be willing to take some risks of knowing me more..

Hayy.. I know it's selfish.. but who else will protect my heart but me? :(

Translations

Words are oftentimes mis-used or even mistranslated when you over-translate them. It even loses it's meaning and may come out funny. One classic example would be TOOTHPASTE. I'm particularly interested in this word (or noun) because it doesn't have a translation in Filipino or in our dialect. Well, for those who know what the words are then please correct me :) I came across this topic in a skype group the other day, we were chatting our hearts out with people from around the world (well most are Filipinos but in different countries) then one person blurted " so ano ang tagalog sa toothpaste? " Everyone kept silent then someone suddenly blurted " joke ba yan? " then most chorused " COLGATE! "... much to my demise, I realized, I didn't know what the tagalog word is for Toothpaste, yet alone know the bisaya term for it. So, I researched online but nothing. Then started texting my friends (Globe lang coz free txt ako sa globe hehhehe) then pe...

Joke Text Messages --- A Reflection

Sa sermon, bag-ong Kano nga pari gitabangan sa Pinoy Interpreter: Pari: The Lord was crucified between two robblers. Roy: Si Hesus gilansang tunga sa duha ka goma. Pari: If we do not repent. Roy: Kung dili ta mamintal ug usab. Pari: The wrath of God will come upon you. Roy: Ang mga ilaga sa Dios moanha kaninyo . (Nangatawa ang mga nanimba) Pari: Well.. well... Roy: Atabay, Atabay.. . Those are one of the many jokes I often receive on day-to-day basis and it truly makes me smile and wonder: How do makers of these jokes ever conceive such simple yet effective ones? Well, maybe it's just me, maybe mababaw lang talaga ang kaligayahan ko .. or simply maybe my tickle bones are just too sensitive. But it's funny.. most especially the joke which follows: During the Last Supper, Jesus broke bread and shared to the twelve. So did they share with the wine... then Jesus said, " Naa diri kaninyo karon ang tao nga mag- betray kanako" ... Then Jesus looked sternly to Judas.. Judas...

Watermark...

Listening to Enya's Watermark makes my heart melt like ice in a hot summer day.. I wonder how the artist/composer felt like while creating such a touching song.. no rhyme nor word is used.. just pure emotion... .. to me feels a lot like loving someone so much yet one doesn't know how to convey.. a feeling only a gentle kiss or a warm hug can express.. How happy it is to love and more if the love felt is mutual.. so many have searched for it, yet only a few are graced by it's presence.. I admit I for one long for it.. the feeling where you need not worry coz someone will always love you, imperfections and all. As I see couples everyday... I can't help but ask myself, "Do they ever realize that many are longing for someone?" Before when I was still younger I despise the couples... but now, I truly envy (?) them.. hehe.. My heart beats extraordinarily whenever I see old couples kiss, hug, talk together, hold hands and just enjoy each other's company for they...
