THE KIWI WHO SOARED THE SKIES...

            How long has it been since I wrote something that should be concealed from everyone else? How long has it been since I tried to drown myself from everything else in this world with the use of a small gadget with its earphones plugged in my ears? I can't even remember properly. Oh, I forgot, I always tend to forget everything since that day.

            Right now, a series of mixed emotions are slowly flowing through my veins. I looked around but all I can see is darkness (well, the lights are turned off, no wonder). I was curled up like a ball in my bed, biting my hands as hard as I can just to calm myself. Yes, I'm insane right now. But would you be able to roll your eyes or laugh at me as you read that phrase if you're in the same shoe as me? Well, I know you won't be able to, or at least, I hope you won't be able to because if you'd be able to, you're just plain cold-hearted.

            I looked at my cellular phone, hoping that there would be a message to read (just to pass time). But who the hell would send a message during this time of the morning? It's just 3:37 A.M. Well, since it's futile to wait, I decided to turn my full attention to the music currently playing in Terzo.03 (he's my iPod Nano, 5^th Generation). "I'll escape reality for awhile," I said to myself. So the music dragged on with me paying none of my attention to anything else. And as it serenade my mind, my lips unconsciously followed every bit of its lyrics silently:

I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay, but you argued
More than this I wish, you could've seen my face
In backseats staring out, the window

I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

I've earned through hope and faith
On the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this I pray to you wherever

I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
('Cause I'd do anything you want me to for you)
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up

            My consciousness continued to slip away, so I'm not quite sure how many times my lips followed the said song. As I opened my eyes, I saw a gentle light from my window. "So, it's morning again, huh?" I said to myself. I thought that even though every night seems to be hellish, I have always been given the chance to witness another day of life (even though for me, it really seems irrelevant to continue living now, seriously). I straightened my back and prayed to the one who gave me this precious gift (yes, I think it's still precious despite how much irrelevant I think it is for me).

These are interesting things to ponder in a relationship (The ones that are in bold letters are my favorites. I even made reactions to some of it. Enjoy reading!):

1. "Ang mag-assume, TALO."

2. "Kung ayaw may DAHILAN, kung gusto may PARAAN." (ALWAYS TRUE, believe it or not)

3. "Wag masyado magpadala sa text."

4. "BACK OFF (as in back off) sa mga IN A RELATIONSHIP, kahit saan anggulo mo tingnan, ikaw pa rin ang mali."

5. "Never borrow someone else's man/girl. If he/she cheated with you, he'll/she'll cheat on you."

6. "Hayaan mo siyang gawin yung gusto niyang gawin. Buhay niya yun, hindi mo maco-control. As long as alam niya yung limitations niya."

7. "Take it slow. Steady lang."

8. "Maniwala sa IT'S COMPLICATED na status. Hindi lang chenes yan."

9. "Learn to LET GO kung alam mong wala na talaga." (Madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin diba? Haha...)

10. "Keep your DIGNITY."

11. "If a man/woman wants you, nothing can keep him/her away. If he/she doesn't want you, nothing can make him/her stay." (So true, but hard to accept...)

12. "Wag magselos sa siblings and relatives ng boyfriend/girlfirend mo."

13. "Ang QT (quality time), at least 5 hours lang per week." (Importante to sa isang relationship, maniwala kayo.)

14. "Don't revolve your life around him/her. Learn to be independent." (TAMA. Pero darating yung time na anung gawin mo, magrerevolve sa kaniya ung buhay mo.)

15. "Hindi dahilan ang TIME."

16. "Kung ayaw sayo ng kapatid, hayaan mo siya. Wala siyang magagawa kung mahal ka talaga niya."

17. "Wag magpakilala sa parents agad. It can affect your relationship." (So true, so true, it's one of my fatal mistakes.)

18. "Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Kadalasan tama ito mga girls."

19. "Be nice to your EX. Wag maging BITTER." (TAMA!)

20. "If a relationship ends because the man/woman was not treating you as you deserve, then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. At some case this is applicable." (Tinamaan aq rito. Totoo to... L)

21. "Wag magpadala sa SITUATION. Baka overwhelmed ka lang."

22. "Stop making excuses for a man/woman and his/her behavior. Paminsan-minsan take off your helmet."

23. "When you meet anyone, remember it's a holy encounter. As you treat them you will treat yourself. As you think of them, you think of yourself. Never forget this, for in them you will find yourself or lose yourself."

24. "Hindi balakid kung magkaiba ang RELIGION niyong dalawa."

25. "Kung kayang i-workout, i-WORKOUT!"
Kalokohan ang reason na "IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME." (Ngayon alam niyo na. haha...)

26. "All men are NOT dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending... compromise is a two way street."

27. "Learn to forgive para magkaroon ka ng peace of mind."

28. "Some can forgive but can't forget." (True... L)

29. "If something bothers you, speak up! mahirap kapag nagpapakiramdaman lang kayo."

30. "OPEN COMMUNICATION, TRUST AND HONESTY are the most important ingredients in a relationship." (Tandaan niyo to!)

31. "You need time to heal between relationships. there is nothing cute about baggage. deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship pag hindi kasi, it can affect or even ruin your relationship."

32. "Ok lang na magselos, basta yung pakilig lang."

33. "Always have your own set of friends separate from his/her para may iba kang channels that is without him/her." (L)

34. "Make him/her miss you sometimes. when a man/woman always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him/her, he/she takes it for granted."

35. "Always make time for your family and friends."

36. "You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. look for someone complimentary. not supplementary." (Di ako masyado naniniwala rito. Pero alam kong totoo to. Labo no? haha)

37. "Always make time for yourself."

38. "Wala yun sa tagal ng relationship. nasa pagmamahal." (Tama...)

39. "There's NO SUCH THING as MR. RIGHT or MS. RIGHT. It's how you mold him/her to become rightfully for you." (I AGREE! DEFINITELY!)

40. "There's NO SUCH THING as COOL OFF/GRAY AREA. Kung white, white! Kung black, black! Walang GRAY AREA."

41. "Always think a number of times before deciding on to something important." (Think more than twice, ok?)

42."There's a possibility that a person can get attracted to another. It's human nature. It's not wrong. But that is why you're in a commitment, you discipline yourself. One may get attracted to numerous prospects and its ok. As long as you don't nurse the feeling and do something about it. It's the borderline between cheating and faithfulness. Recognize reality that you already have the person that can give you more than what you get for the cheap thrill of attraction."

43. "You need to let go of the past to have a future" (Isa na namang madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin.)

44. "Do not take anyone for granted."

45. "If what you see by the eye doesn't please you, then close your eyes and see from the heart. Because the heart can see beauty and love more than the eyes can ever wonder."

46. "If you felt it, then it was true. Getting hurt doesn't always mean you suffered, it also means you loved sincerely. Don't frown because it's over. SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED." (I STRONGLY DISAGREE! YOU CAN'T SMILE DURING THESE TIMES! I can assure you, no matter what, you won't be able to smile just because it happened)

47. "KARMA (whatever you do) will find its way." (Matakot kayo.)

48. "Everything will fall into place." (This is the one thing that I truly believe. There is no such thing as "never meant to be." Everything is "meant to be." It just didn't turn out the way we wanted it to.)

            Hey! I've been so busy just reading mangas nowadays (because I'm a bit lonely and is missing someone. To simply put it, I'm a bit "emo" lately. L.O.L.) and I wanted to share some of them to you (well, at least the ones I like the most) but before that, let me introduce to you what mangas are (for those who doesn't know what they really are but if you do know, skip this part and just read ranked mangas). 

Well, most of you have probably heard the word "manga" from one of your friends or so but don't actually know how it looks like or what it is. It's basically like what you see in comic books. Well, to simply put it, it's the "comic book" of the Japanese people. Here's a sample.

This is a scene from Naruto Chapter 474

 

-:-Here's the list of the one's I enjoy/enjoyed reading the most (ranked from 1-10)-:-

            1. Naruto

Status: Ongoing

Updates: Weekly

Plot:

The story started with a kid named Uzumaki Naruto in a ninja village called Konoha. He was first rejected by the whole village because a demon fox was planted within his body by the deceased Fourth Hokage (Konoha Leader). He's trying his best to aim for the title "Hokage" and gain the village's trust. However, it might turn out that he won't only gain trust from the people of Konoha but from the whole ninja world itself!

Comment:

I ranked it as number one because the story is just way cool and unpredictable (though there are some boring parts that sometimes take even one chapter!). It's just worth reading. J

            2. Bleach

Status: Ongoing

Updates: Weekly

Plot:

The plot is mainly about the fighting of Shinigamis (Death Gods) and Hollows (spirits that had gone bad). Kurosaki Ichigo was just like any other human (or was he?) but was suddenly turned into his town's Shinigami because of an accident and it's now up to him to protect it from the terrible hollows.

            Comment:

It's ranked two 'coz it's your ordinary good vs. evil type of manga. The thing is, it sometimes turns out EXTRA-ordinary. So check it out as well. J

            4. Death Note

Status: Completed

Plot:

            In the world of Shinigamis, a shinigami called Ryuuk keeps on getting bored and as a past time, he drops the notebook that he uses to kill people whose time is up: the Death Note. This time, man named Yagami Light (Raito in Japanese) picked the notebook up and he soon figured out what the notebook does. Because of Light's strong sense of justice and Ryuuk's stupid boredom, Light used it to kill so many criminals. With these, the legendary Detective L is going to try track him down and stop the massive killings of criminals.

Comment:

            One word: SPLENDID. This manga is just sooo cool. It's way beyond imagination. I mean, it's a unique manga. That's all I can say about it. J

            Well I like mystery stories. They make you think and so as this manga. Check it out though you might be bored with some chapters (some really are boring). Still, try it. J

            6. Hajime No Ippo

Status: Ongoing

Updates: Weekly

Plot:

            Makunochi Ippo was just a guy bullied in his school. Well, he WAS. He became interested in boxing because of a guy named Mamoru Takamura who saved him from the bullies and is now aspiring to be the top boxer of the world in his weight class!

Comment:

            It's exciting to read. Can't even believe I read 100+ chapters in just two days. You'd be left wanting to know immediately what would happen next with every chapter end. It's also a funny type of manga. In addition, it depicts what a typical guy's dream would be like. So if you're into sports esp. boxing, this is a manga worth trying to read. I'm currently so hooked to this one. (It now has 800+ chapters by the way. haha)J

            7. Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Status: Ongoing

Updates: Weekly

Plot:

            Sawada Tsunayoshi was your typical loser student. He's just simply a no-good. But when a hitman named Reborn came to him (he was supposedly his Math tutor), he was then selected as the tenth boss of the a famous mafia clan: the Vongola Family.

Comment:

            This is another funny one. Though boring parts are present, it just suddenly gets interesting when you're about to get tired of the "boring parts". Check it out. J

            8. Liar Game

Status: Ongoing

Updates: Weekly

Plot:

            It's about, well, as the title say, a game about lying. It's a certain scam where people where forced to lie for money. A girl named Nao Kanzaki got caught in the scam and eventually met a guy named Shinichi Akiyama who is an ex-convict and a genius who just recently got out in jail. Together, they try to take the ones who devised the said scam.

Comment:

            It has a pretty boring plot but it somehow caught my interest. Try it, maybe you'd also like it. J

            9. D.Gray-Man

Status: Ongoing

Updates: Monthly

Plot:

            It's a battle between exorcists and akumas (I think they're the same as "devils"). Allen Walker, a 15-yr. old kid, together with his exorcist friends, they try to destroy all the akumas with their Innocence (something like a weapon of God) and defeat the maker of the akumas, the Millenium Earl.

Comment:

            It's ranked this low but it's pretty interesting. I ranked it as eight because it only updates monthly. >,< Do check it out.

            10. Eyeshield 21

Status: Completed

Plot:

            An ordinary guy named Sena Kobayakawa was seen to be extraordinary by the captain of Deimon Devil Bats (football team of Deimon Private Senior High School), Yoichi Hiruma, because of Sena's speed. Sena was then made the running back of the Devil Bats and with the team, they will try to make their way to the top of the world of football.

Comment:

            Well, I love Hiruma's dark sense of humour and his genius tactics in football. It's a pretty boring manga for a non-football lover, but you might be interested in reading it, I wasn't much of a football lover as well but hey, I finished it anyway without getting bored. ;)

Hope you try reading all of them! Enjoy. ^_^

P.S. Just click the "Onemanga" on my blog (it's on top) if you're interested in reading any of them. J

            Okay, it's been sooo long since I last poseted something here. The reason? Well, my blog somehow malfunctioned and I was too lazy to try and fix it again until now

Anyway, I know it's a bit late, but let me greet all of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Antay lang kayo ng updates aa? Ingat parati people. :)
