Cheese

"I don't like things which are cheesy but I like cheese itself." -- Joel Duque

My love

My love, kiss me good night to night.
'Coz tomorrow I may be out of sight.
Can't you see I'm bleedin' to death?
Or are you just so full of sheath?

Feeling of Betrayal

Well, it's just sort of. For the following reasons:
1. The Membership Committee is the one responsible for assigning members what committee they'll belong. They assigned me to SCC, not Academics Committee which was my first choice.
2. The Membership Committee (or Finance Committee, not sure, or both) put me third to the last of the list of the Buddy Bidding. It was sad because I'm one of the few. It feels like my effort of coming to the event was in vain. Also, no applicant approached me to help him/her with his/her signature sheet.
Just want to let out my rants. They say it's healthy. I do believe them.

Bio 102

To my Bio 102 crush:

"I love you with all my heart, soul, my all, my entire being."
Well, don't believe the previous statement to much. My hypothalamus made me say it.

Ang lansangan

Nababagot
Nakalalagot ng hininga
Ugat-ugat
Puno ng sugat
Mahapding balat
Puno ng peklat
Nakahihilo
Sinlamig ng yelo
Ungol ng ungol
Tumigil ka na
Ayoko na
Ang gulo
Ng aking mundo
Haay
Buhay
Wala ang higaan
Ako'y kaawaan
Gustong sumingaw
Ngunit bawal humiyaw
Parang iniihaw
Ngunit giniginaw
Ang lansangan
Sadyang ganyan
Ang 'yong gusto
Hindi wasto

Paghihintay #2

Tumitigin-tingin
Lumilingon-lingon
Tumititig
Pumipintig

Kailan kaya darating?
Kailan ba makararating?
Sana'y magsimula na
Sana'y matapos din

Paggawa ng Kabuktutan

Nanlalabo ang paningin
Abuso...pang-aabuso
Sobrang pagpupuyat
Pagbababad sa laro

Genetic curiousity

How much would you invest/pay a person of the opposite sex to marry you or have children with you? Is there any significant difference between the two instances? Oh, how hard has life become! With the current inflation rate, I wonder how much I would invest to have a complementary partner. That's why I have to built myself up mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Beautiful Women and Ovaltine

What do beautiful women and Ovaltine have in common? They're too sweet to be enjoyed. You'd surely be overpowered just by taking a taste.

Lolo Dayong

ika-9 ng Hulyo, 2005
Kamamatay lang ni Lolo Dayong. Siya ang aking lolo mula sa panig ng aking ina. Ayaw ko sanang pumunta sa Cavite upang bisitahin ang kanyang bangkay subalit ako'y napasang-ayong sumama o napilitan sa kadahilanang ang aking buong mag-anak ay laban sa aking hindi pagpunta. Dagli akong naligo at maggagabi na nang nakaalis kami rito sa bahay. Makalipas ang ilang minuto, nakasakay rin kami ng taxi sa bandang harap ng Crame. Nabigla ang drayber ng sabihin naming sa Cavite ang aming tuloy. Sa palagay ko, gusto niya sanang umangal pero hindi niya ito ginawa, marahil, dahil ito sa hiya. Isang mahalagang bagay ang nangyari sa loob ng sasakyan habang ang aking buong pamilya, binubuo ng apat na miyembro, ay nasa loob ng sasakyan. Natuloy na rin, sa wakas, ang opisyal na miting ng buong mag-anak o ang Duque Family Meeting. Ang mga sari-saring isyu ay napag-usapan at humigit-kumulang ay naresolba. Pagdating namin doon, kami ay namano sa aming mga nakatatanda, hindi nga lang sa lahat. Natatakot akong tignan ang lolo. Ngayon lang kasi ako dadalo sa isang bangkay na may natatandaan ukol sa patay. Naupo muna ako. Uli, ako ay nakumbinse ng aking Ate Nadia. Sabi niya, tumayo daw kami sa harap ng kabaong at mag-alay ng ilang dasal. Sabi ko sa kanya ng una, natatakot ako. Ipinaalam ko rin sa kanyang kung maaari bang mamaya na lang kami lumapit. Ngunit sa huli, ako rin ang bumigay. Habang nagdadasal, ilang mga bagay ang aking naisip:
1. Salamat lolo dahil sa iyong genes (at ni lola) na gumawa kay mama
2. salamat sa pag-aalaga kay mama.
3. paano na kaya sa lola
4. paano na kayang ang pamilyang tolentino, magkakawatak-watak na kaya sila?
5. ipinagdasal ko ang kanyang kaluluwa, nawa'y pumunta siya sa langit.
6. nawa'y gabayan niya kami.
7. sayang, hindi ko naipakita ang aking pagmamahal (at paggalang sa kanya)
8. sayang, hindi ako naging malapit sa kanya.
Noong nakaupo nanaman ako, naisip ko kung bakit malungkot kapag may namamatay. Ito sa dahil sa isang kadahilanan: sa payak na katotohanang hindi na mamaaring mamuhay sa mundong ibabaw ang pumanaw. Pilit kong itinatanggi ang kanyang kamatayan. Totoo nga ang sabi nila: "Ipakita na ang iyong pagmamahal habang siya ay buhay pa." Mahirap din tingnan ito sa positibong pananaw. Mahirap maging masaya kung ang pagbabatayan ang pananaw na muli siyang sasanib sa kanyang Panginoon at Manlilikha. Siguro dahil sa tayo'y ganib, laging hindi handa, at makasarili. itutuloy ko sa susunod.

To be a biologist

Being a BS Biology student is a prerequisite to being a true biologist. It's not as 'easy' as my 1st and 2nd years. Now, I feel that I am at the brink of failing badly. I have to quit doing unimportant things right now. Sleepy Joel want to get very good grades. I'm not gonna fail. 'Coz I'm going to shine. No one can stop me, not even you. I'm not jealous at intelligent people anymore. For this time, I'll be one of them. Someday, who knows? Help me God. For without You, my life is a failure. Life is such a messy mess. Good night slaves. Tomorrow, I'll set you free.
