Now that I have graduated, and my summer days are without the comforting thought that,come June, I’m going back to LB for another academic year, my sole comfort becomes music - the songs I "grew up in". From Hillsong to Casting Crown (tama ba?), I listen to them often these days, because they take me to places, times - memories. Most of all, they take me to people once again, even if just in my head, even if just for a while. I listen to the songs almost with desperation, out of fear that one day I might just forget without meaning to. Or worse, without realizing it.

This business of growing up and moving on, is simply happening way too fast for comfort.

Ito na ang huli kong pagsali ng patintero. Ang hirap kasi magbantay ng home, lalo na kung ikaw ang binabantayan. Sinabayan ko na nga ang bilis ng mga binti mo, tinapatan ko pa ang bawat sugod mo - sa kaliwa, sa kanan, tas sa kaliwa uli, tas sa kanan nanaman! Halos mapigtal na nga sa balikat ko ang mga brasao kong banat na banat na sa pagkakadipa. Hinding-hindi ko talaga inalis ang mga mata ko sa ‘yo. Kaya naman, kakabantay ko sa ‘yo, naharang nga kita. May iba namang naka-home. Talo pa din ako. Bad trip.

Kaya ito na ang huli kong pagsali ng patintero.

Comments lang…

sa question ni Kiko Pangilinan: Which of your experiences has prepared you for the task of law-making? - in your face grabe. bagay na bagay na tanong sa marami sa ating mga senatoriables!

Mr. Orpilla on the question of whether he would still push for the Agrarian Reform Law: alam na po namin na kaawa-awa ang kalagayan ng mga magsasaka, at na ang mga mahihirap ay naghihirap pa rin. kaya nga po kayo tinatanong kung isusulong pa ninyo ang Agrarian Reform Law (or Act?). hindi n’yo naman po sinagot.

Richard Gomez on "wanting the people to vote for him": you WANT the people to vote for you for your fresh ideas? why don’t you try entrepreneurship then? you don’t even speak the language of the masa.

Cesar Montano on "artista lang": for an artist pushing for the Philippine film industry, the culture and all that jazz, doesn’t that phrase say a lot of things? call me devil’s advocate  - for the sake of argumentation and speculation, i’ll gladly be one!

some guy in glasses: very poetic. too bad the senate is in need of political leaders, not really poets.

Pichay: was a congressman?! talaga?

Mr. Pangilinan on the use of "tayo": nice… did somebody consult his PR adviser?

Atty. Pimentel on "bagong solusyon sa lumang problema": gusto n’yo po sumama sa entrepreneurship?

Mr. Orpilla: wrong move to spend 1 (or 1 1/2) minute discussing the country’s drug addiction history. simply not discussable, sir, given the time.

bumoto tayo po tayo sa ika-14 ng Mayo.

bow.
