22 YOUs in my first job =)

A similar entry with this format was done by a good friend of mine when we graduated from college. Now, I would like to take this opportunity to write in that exact and simple format. For those who would take time to read this one, kayo na ang bahalang manghula kung sino kayo diyan.

1. You are a simple embodiment of a strong woman by being a responsible breadwinner. You inspire me.
2. You are my ultimate JC idol and yosi buddy and will always be, hands down. You drive me to excel.
3. I've just met you but we clicked with similar interests. You must leave a mark.
4. You are a simple person yet with so much more to give. You will always be our "taray queen".
5. There's so much I like to say to you but let me put it down into three words. I Love You
6. You are a person with rather out-of-this world taste of things. But I still apreciate you.
7. You are my mentor, coach and most importantly a dear friend. You will always be one
8. You called me a "stubborn boyfriend" and i still appreciate your kindness. You are a selfless friend.
9. You are my buddy and my partner in crime. You are my accomplice
10. You are everyone's Kuya. I'll miss one.
11. You are our dear nicole and wyclef jean. You make us laugh hard.
12. You will always be our CEO. You are driven to succeed
13. You are my first boss and reference. I've learned a lot from you.
14. You were my forever seatmate in our cubicle. I'll miss our small talks.
15. I can say that I will still miss you even though you're mean to me. Your annoyance is my character building.
16. You are the epitome of excellence in the field. You drive me to perform.
17. You are my sort of my ka-banda even for one time. It felt good performing with you.
18. You are my sort of ate in the office. I've enjoyed exchanging stories.
19. We are die hard fans of great music and rock and roll. You are what you are.
20. You are my adviser and listener in a lot of things. Thanks for casual talks and yosi breaks.
21. You are the newest member of the team. From here I pass on a commitment of excellence.
22. You are our group's new friend even though your not full-time. You are unbelievably kind.

Until

Dear Anonymous,

First of all I want to say sorry If I am already making you uncomfortable with my actions, I promise to stay discreet with my actions and your identity as well. I really hope the good times would be back where we could talk to each other out of the blue without you thinking that there's a motive or something. I asked you one time if you know me? I got a reply. I'll reply sana and come with you during the ride and talk about things I haven't told you pa.

I hope we could spend more time with each other, and will let you know of how everything is at this point in time. I know it would already be close to impossible to bring back the companionship and friendship we have before this...

I was always thinking of the time when we could go out and "hang-out" and that would such be a delight. I was also thinking of the time were we could sit down relax talk casually, and maybe stare at you all day, looking through your eyes, asking how you see mine. I also remember a time when we were talking about our preferences. You told me that I was looking for a greek goddess, and I told you that you were looking for a greek god that doesn' even exist, as for my part I would like to say that a greek goddess doesn't exist as well UNTIL I MET YOU. Each time we don't talk would both be pleasure and pain for me, pleasure in the sense that I still have time to construct and organize my thoughts, so if we talk I don't get lost I don't confuse you with words I say.

Corny man ako, pero damn! gugustuhin ko nang maging corny habambuhay kung totoo naman lahat ng sinasabi ko! As I always say, if you need someone to kick, to punch, to curse , tell your frustrations o ano pa man, dito lang ako always open to talk, I'm willing to open up my ears, my mind and most especially my heart to you.

take care and love you much!

Sherwin

broken sonnet

Dear Anonymous,

By now, I know you would already be reading some of my simple letters to you. I would just like you to know that I am still alive and kicking, yes, they say that love is cheesy in some ways but that makes it more interesting. Everytime i don't see you around it seems like that i am no longer comfortable. There's something missing, medyo corny pero totoo pala. I wouldn't mind if you're now looking on a different perspective, the more you don't realize my presence the more i can still see your other side. Sabi ko nga in my earlier shoutouts in facebook "Mabuti nang ganito tayo.... dahil mas napagmamsadan kita mula sa malayuan" yeah, I know it would sound stalkerish already, pero wala lang. you wouldn't mind naman? dahil di mo naman pansin talaga.

Just want to share something, I was in an fx the other day and a very special song played on the radio, wala lang. the plucking of the guitar and the way champ sings it. It seems na sobrang mahal lang niya yung tao. Well, I'm into too much hale and mymp songs since we talked. sabi ko nga sa'yo don't mind me. I'm just like this everytime...

By the way here's the lyrics of the song:

Broken Sonnet by Hale (Isa lang masasabi ko, the best pa rin ang first album ng hale!)

And now I concede on the night
of this fifteenth song
Of melancholy, of melancholy
And now I will admit in this fourth line
That I love you, that i love you

I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do

Cause tonight I leave my fears behind
Cause tonight I'll be right at your side

The clock on the TV says 8:39 p.m.
It's the same, it's the same
And in this next line I'll say it all over again
That I love you, that i love you

I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do

Cause tonight I leave my fears behind
Cause tonight I'll be right at your side
Lie down right next to me
Lie down right next to me
And I will never let go, will never let go

I leave my fears behind
Cause tonight I'll be right at your side
Lie down right next to me
Lie down right next to me
And i will never let go, never let go

But still I see the tears from your eyes
Maybe I'm just not the one for you

With high regards,
Sherwin

Love Letter

Dear Anonymous,

Thanks for appearing in my real world today. For sure it would be such a long one but just seeing you doing your own stuff would make such a big difference. I know maiinis ka na naman, pero okay lang at least alam mo nag-exist pala ako at the first place. There's so much stories I would like to tell you, unfortunately a lot of things happened in the past weeks kaya di kita masisisi. honga pala, i would be changing my number really soon from smart to globe so me and my friends could text regularly as well as you. I hope you don't forget to smile kahit at least once a day lang. I know it would help you release your tension. Remember that i'm just around the corner and you as well in the corner of my heart. Will write to you again tomorrow.

take care and God bless!
Sherwin

White Marble Flooring

Here's the aftermath of ondoy's very fierce rainfall last saturday:

This is suppose to be our living room's white marble flooring, now it's underwater and those white boxes in the upper right part of the pic are kitchen cabinets removed to be used as sort of "scaffoldings" for our more precious stuff, and yes, we now use a hose to get potable water for laundry, washing dishes etc. Thanks God I'm still way LUCKIER compared to others who experienced WORST harshness from Ondoy! Let us all pray as a nation that we will survive this catastrophe, pero bilang pinoy yakang-yaka natin 'to we're already tested in these types of situations. I still hope that everyone would still be optimistic cause as we always say, there will ALWAYS be sunshine after the rain, literally. =) Good night everyone!
