so... here i am again... with my tummy aching and more...
I have tried going back to my bed though it's 10 o'clock in the morning and tried sleeping again, but i cannot... how tough is that?
bored with my life and all, i sat in front of the PC and write something.
I've been thinking a lot this past days and oh well... i don't know where to start this blog.
about a week ago,
i was sweeping some old leaves along the back yard.
i haven't slept yet and my body clock was awful.
so i tried many things to keep myself busy and preoccupied so that i can sleep.
as i kept on sweeping,
i thought:
i used to do things like this when i was young. sweeping i mean.
in front of our house stood up a huge Santol tree fronting a Mango tree, on the side of that lies a pile of hollow blocks and a number of Cacao Tree,
so imagine when the wind blows hard, how many leaves would eventually fall?
hundreds. oh yeah... or maybe thousands.
so i was young. and sweeping was one of my past time.
I grew up with my 3 other girl friends. namely: Sheila, Melody and Renchie
we grew up together since we we're born on the same year.
Sheila and Melody are sisters. Sheila is a year older. Renchie and i goes to the same church and we practically grew up together. she's really a childhood friend.
We used to climb on that Santol tree and pick up some ripe fruits and sell that in front of the house.
imagine how many pregnant woman would go there and just buy some sweet Santol.
my friends and i will have the money converted to ice candies and some junk foods. oh yeah... those we're the days.
there were those days when we couldn't stop eating cacao and we let those cacao seeds dry under the heat of the sun. my yaya used to have that seeds shred and have it made like a tonic drink every morning or "champorado" during mid afternoon.
i can still remember when the back street boys were so hot that my friends and i got this huge crush on nick carter that we end up facing and glued in front of the tv to watch the MTv and memorized all the lyrics of BSB's songs.
then the Spice girls were rocking on MTv that we fantasize we were them. imagine how we strut our butt just to be baby spice and how we funked each other to be sporty spice.
yeah... those were the old days.
there are times that we all wished it would black out, most especially when it's full moon, so we can go out and play that patintero and instead of making a straight line, we would make a circle, just like the moon, and we will play all night, shouting and just having clean under that big gloomy moon.
there are also times when my friends and i play hide and seek or play that little "bahay-bahayan" or that early year that Dianara Torres won the Miss Universe pageant, we have that also as our past time. we would dress up wearing a blanket wrapped around our body and do the cat walk from the stairs of my friends house down to the terrace.
there are days that we pray it would rain heavy so we can run a long the road half naked (yeah! you read that right -- half naked) we we're only wearing a pair of lacy panty and a sando and we would go running around the neighborhood.
as i look back now, i had a fun childhood after all. when did my life become so boring and dragging?
as i think about how life changed the way i look at my life, i guess, i still have enough reason to look back and just smile at my silliest doings when i was young.
Shiela is now a single mom, and i was one of the godparent, though i have not attended the christening because i was 150km. away and having my out of town duty.
Melody is a fresh graduate of nursing, who, like me will take up the local board by december. and is now happily in love with her not so cute but so nice boy friend.
Renchie is now in Bohol, having a good time along with her grand-ma and is presently working in a call center in Davao City.
and as for me? hmmm... i still don't know where my life would take me.
I'm jobless. i don't have a kid on my own. i seldom laugh. my tummy aches and i often cry.
wow....
but i guess there's enough reason for me to look forward.
a happy life is just a smile away.
keep smiling ye' all...
