The Year That Was
9:12 AMI am one person who is guilty of saving old messages in my cellphone from people who became really special to me and messages that were very apt during the time I received them (like a cosmic thing). As for the first reason, everytime I read these texts, I feel a certain in-between feeling (I remember the happy times together and the sadness when it was time to let go). Basta. It's like I'm keeping a log of the things that happened to me based on these messages. The oldest I have is year 2005 pa.
Since I can't forever keep these messages, I'm putting them here. Some people ask, why do you share your life to the world? My first reply to that is "I'd rather tell my story than have someone else tell it for me. My other reply to that is "because I can." And the third, I cannot tell.
Here goes:
"Life is simple. If it rains, at least we don't have to water the plants. It's a matter of seeing things in perspective. The benefits may not be immediate. You have to know this for sure: there will be problems, struggles. Have faith. Enoy life. Take it easy. If today you are picking the grapes, tomorrow you will drink the wine. Happy birthday. Love you."--my greatest fan
2 missed calls --26 Dec 6:17 am
*alright. this is not a text message but there was an exchange after so I'm logging it here hahaha
"Yo merry xmas! Wag mo na isiPin si scott berger." -- topdawg, 25 Dec 12:37 am
*i super laughed after I got this from my "bestfriend" (defining best is difficult these days. but he got this title because back in college, we would exchange the Magnolia ice cream commercial of "sinong bestfriend mo doon? syempre, ikaw lang" lines. And alright, I know if not all, almost ALL of his secrets and we treat each other as equals). i thought it was very thoughtful of him to really compose a message just for me. and a funny one, too.
'i have a sneaky feeling that love is actually all ar0und.'- hugh grant in l0ve actually. Merry xmas!-- Pol, 24 Dec
* I replied to this with "asan?!" and she texted back why is it that everyone (i'm betting she was referring to her single women friends) she texted, that was the answer. hahaha
"Mama's 12 xmas wishes for one of my beautiful children: happiness deep inside; serenity in every sunrise; success in every facet of your life; all of us alwayss beside each other; caring friends around your; love that never ends; good health within you; beautiful memories of yesterday; nice days with so much to be thankful for; pathway leading to tomorrow; and great appreciations for whatever you do. Love u po. Hugs, kisses GBU"--greatest fan

"Ngayong malapit na ang araw ng Pasko, dalangin ko kay San Miguel na isakay ka sa Red Horse patungo sa White Castle dun sa Barcelona para makilala ang Generoso at mabait na Emperador na si Alfonso at manood ng Matador habang umiinom ng Fundador."
*from Barnard. very "clever" but i bet he just forwarded it to me
"i wish you woke up this morning realizing what a wonderful person you are and the world is blessed to have you as part of it. Relax and enjoy God's blessing! Love you anak. Mwah"-- 27 Sept
*i must have been feeling really down during this time that's why I saved this. most probably one of those blah days at work. I remember I have been wanting to resign since september
