Dahil naligo ako sa ulan today
The body remembered it all when I let the rain conquer me again --- after a little over two decades. Surreal. It is not the same rain. Sigurado yan, salamat sa polusyon e naghihingalo na si Mother Earth. It is not the same body. Sigurado rin yan, salamat sa aging process at wrong choices. Nothing stays the same, oo naman. But the amount of bliss was the same. Pure bliss. Me and the rain. The spirit is happy but the body needs some passionate scrubbing and disinfecting now. Kailangan ko na maligo. Babushka for now. My dear readers, all five of you... ligo rin kayo sa ulan next time!
"Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten"

Ang Hindi Ninyo Alam Tungkol Sa Pagdo-donate Ng Dugo
Ito ay usapang hindi sinasadyang narinig ng aking bunsong kapatid na si Mabbielog. May nakitawag sa telepono sa aming tindahan. Ang sabi...
"Samahan mo naman ako magpatingin. Hindi pa ako nagkakaron. Nag-donate ako ng dugo nung isang linggo. Tapos kanina nag-pregnancy test ako, positive."
O alam niyo na? Nakakabuntis daw ang ang pagdo-donate ng dugo. Tandaan ang gintong aral na ito.

Fear Factor - Nakikiuso
Kung hindi ako marunong matakot:
1. Papasok ako sa trabaho na naka-tsinelas, t-shirt na butas at maong na kupas.
2. Kapag wala ako sa mood ay hindi rin ako magsusuklay at hindi magsusuot ng bra.
3. Uutang ako nang malaki sa bangko para makabili ng sariling franchise ng Jollibee at 711. Para hindi na namin kailangang magtrabaho at makatutok sa pag-aalaga ng mga anak.
4. Maga-artista ako sa teatro at saka susulat nang susulat.
5. Idedemanda ko ang INC. In perpetual violation of my right to love. Sabeh!?!
6. Mag-aaral ako magmaneho.
7. Sa probinsiya kami titira.
8. Magpapa-laser ako ng mata para makita niyong lahat na may tinatago akong ganda. Hindi niyo lang alam.
9. Hindi na ako kakain ng kanin, balat ng manok, malutong na balat ng baboy at taba ng lahat ng hayop na masarap sa sinigang. Habambuhay.
10. Maglulustay ako ng salapi sa yoga at swimming classes.
11. Magpapaka-sweet ako sa mga mahal ko araw-araw. Araw-araw.
12. Magtatayo ako ng tindahan na may karinderya sa tabi. Ako ang cook, ako ang tindera, ako ang tagahugas ng pinggan habang nag-aalaga ng mga anak.
13. Mamamasada ako ng sasakyan para sa Grab at Uber. Pero EOP sa kotse ko para di ko makalimutan mag-English. Mainam na self defense ang english. Use wisely.
14. Mamahalin ko ang asawa ko na walang hinihintay na kapalit. Ang hirap nun sa totoo lang.
15. Hindi ko sasagutin ang tanong na ito dahil wala akong maisasagot. Pilosopo is the new black.
Isang paragraph lang ito sa libro ng aking mga kinatatakutan. FYI. Nakikiuso lang.

Rebel Heart In Manila
If your husband ever asks you to come see an Aerosmith concert with him, keep him company even if you only know two of their songs. If he gets into a trance state while watching his idols from his teenage years, it is not the time to hurt and wonder why and how he did not hold your hand the entire time. Because, it is all worth it. IT IS GOING TO BE WORTH IT. He will remember that you were a good girl when Madonna comes to town. And when you give up and accept that it's ok not to watch because the tickets are too expensive, he will remind you how you said that it will not matter if you have to sit on the floor for it is enough to share an enclosed space with your Goddess (sniffing molecular greatness) for a couple of hours. And he will buy the tickets. And he will watch it with you and your friends.
Oh and he will even remind you to do this, just to be sure that you are ready for the big day. I love him. I just love him. It gets "deeper and deeper, my love."
