peephole 11.01.11

November 1. People, TV and radio shows, movies. Name it, they all talk about Halloween. And all seem to be scared of ghosts, monsters, or zombies that we all don't know if they truly exist. Here in the Middle East, I am not very sure, but I think they're not into scary spirits or any Halloween-ish creatures. Maybe the people here don't believe in such and it's one great advantage for me since I get all scared easily. If I'm in Japan during this season, I might have already imagined all the Japanese horror movie scenes to happen! Hehe!

But remember the old-saying, "Matakot ka na sa buhay, huwag lang sa patay"? I am, indeed, a believer! Just today, around lunchtime, the doorbell rang so I grabbed the front door key and went to answer it. Of course, I had to look through the peephole first to check. A big, scary man was standing right in front of the door. I, suddenly got scared and called a housemate. She came and checked who's at the door (through the peephole, too) and asked the man who he is, what he needs. He just said, "Open the door, open the door" (Ok, I just corrected that, he actually said, "Open door, open door"). But we didn't do what he insisted, ate Len told him that he got the wrong room number and that we'll call the watchman. I called Kuya Paul instead while ate Len called her husband, too. Then we came back to check the man, he wasn't there anymore. Maybe he got afraid we'll call security. To be sure he won't be able to unlock the door, I stuck the key in it. After that, I wasn't able to get it off my mind. I was really really scared, and I think I still am.

I hope he wouldn't come back tomorrow, or the next day, or next week. I hope he won't be back ever. It scared the hell out of me and I totally hate that feeling.

Boo! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

"Pag-Ibig"

Alas-nuwebe ng gabi, habang nakahiga sa gitna ng damuhan , aking nababanaag ang liwanag ng bilog na buwan at mga bituing para bang mga kulisap   sa kalawakan. Walang ibang liwanag kundi sila lamang. Kung ihahalintulad sa mga babasahing pang- panitikan , ang gabing ito'y wari bang eksena sa pelikulang katatakutan. Isang kwento na pinagbibidahan ng mga maligno , duwende at aswang. "Inaaaaaayy!!!" sigaw ni Berto. "Sssssshh...!" saway ni Beybi. "Ano ba, Berto? Nananaginip ka na naman, kung anu-ano kasi ang pinagbababasa mo eh. Sabi na nga ba, hindi na kita isinama dito sa silid-aklatan . Nag-ingay ka na naman." "Bakit ba? Ang ganda ng kwento, eh!" sumbat ni Berto. "Maganda?? Eh, ba't mo tinutulugan?" bawi ni Beybi. "Saka masyado ka nagpapadala sa mga kwento na yan, daig mo pa ang nanonood ng pelikula pati yung nasasapian ng masamang espiritu." "Nakakatakot kasi ang kwento, kaso may parte na medyo nakakawa

Easy Lunch

Home alone? Lazy to cook? Or worse, nothing to cook? I was, yesterday. And because of the freaking hot weather, I didn't wanna go out. It was almost lunch time and I was still wearing my pantulog . So I decided to just order from McDonald's. But since we have no landline and it's costly to call them from a mobile phone, I tried the web way. It was fun and easy! I just went to http://www.mcdelivery.com.ph/ , registered, confirmed my account thru my e-mail then poof! Menu on my screen! But before ordering, this popped out: This is where the fun part comes, you get to create your own avatar. Since I'm no weirdo (only at rare times :P), my avatar was just simple me-ish me. Look! Ok! I know it's really ME-ish. Good thing they had "skin chooser"! Haha! And look at my avatar's eyes, that pair really tells it's me, agree? :P Now, if you're the CRAZIE type (which I will be, probably on my next time), you can choose the out-of-nowhere avatars: Now, back

happy tears.

A bright and sunny day it is. Though the sun has risen at its highest, I can still feel the coldness of the season. The cool wind gives me shivers. Not sure of this feeling, but it's nervousness and excitement at the same time. There's something about today that's got me thinking, a big thing is bound to happen. Yes, TODAY. Or maybe this is just excitement of having to do this kind of dating for the first time. You were the one who prepared everything, I just came in for the ride. Beach, sun, you, us, who wouldn't say yes? But even up to this very day, I have been thinking a lot. Yes, about us. After everything, I learned to keep my boundaries, my heart's boundaries anyway. I learned to just enjoy what we have at the moment, or what I think have anyway. I learned not to give everything so as not to expect anything in return. To be thankful for the happy times and to just pray for the best are the things I have always kept in mind. So, today, it's just me, havin
