"Law is an excellent model of how life should be lived." -Miss A, Erity

Indeed, it's true na kahit anong bilis pa ng takbo natin, hindi natin matatakasan ang sitwasyon na mayroon tayo.

Escape is not a solution, but rather a portal to fantasy.

Kahit pilit mang kalimutan, pilit mo mang isawalang bahala at sumabay nalang sa agos ng buhay. Hindi noon kayang pawiin ang sakit na iyong nararamdaman. Hindi na kayang tanggalin ang mabigat na bagahe na bitbit mo sa iyong bawat paghakbang.

Luluha. Magagalit. Malulungkot. Ngingiti. Tatawa. Matatakot

Iba't ibang klaseng emosyon na nagkapalit-palit na ng ibig-sabihin. May ibang malungkot na nakangiti. May mga tumatawang natatakot, may mga umiiyak na nagagalit at mayroon ding luha na hindi mo alam kung bakit. Emosyon na hindi mo malaman kung anong tunay na diskusyon dahil sa sitwasyon na kinasasadlakan natin. Kaya ang tanong na paulit-ulit kong naririnig sa utak ay kung kelan magkakaroon ng linaw ang lahat? Dahil pakiramdam ko hindi kailanman

  • Darling, I'm Toxic   Final Verdict

    "The man who seeks revenge digs two graves." -Ken Kessey Have you ever felt a numbness in your heart that makes you want to just stop everything? Do you feel alive but feel like you're not breathing at all? Is it as if your body is an empty vessel drifting aimlessly? That your head is under the water, submerged in sadness, while your soul has been wounded innumerable times by the world's poisonous needle? And you just want to sleep until everything is already alright and everyone has forgotten or moved on from what happened. Liar... I am liar Ang sabi ko hindi na ako iiyak. Ang sabi ko magiging matapang na ako ulit at haharapin ang lahat ng mga taong umaalipusta sa aking pagkatao. Ang sabi ko hindi na ako magiging mahina ulit na tila wala na akong lakas pang mabuhay sa mundo. But why? Why do I feel like everything doesn't make sense anymore? Pakiramdam ko lumulutang ako sa gitna ng bagyo. Hindi ko na masundan pa ang mga pangyayari. Masyadong mabilis. Wala na sa ayos. Hindi ko na ma

  • Darling, I'm Toxic   Don't Beg for Mercy

    "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - George Orwell“Dyan ka sa bakanteng taas ng double deck matutulog Miss folk. Maiwan na kita rito. Mag-iingat ka” magaang sambit ng pulis sa akin at tinuro ang sinasabi nyang tulugan ko. I nodded at him and shifted my eyes to look around the place.Napahinga ako ng malalim ng marinig ang pagsara ng selda sa aking likuran, hindi katulad sa pinanggalingan ko ay mas malaki ang kwarto na ito. Malinis rin ang dingding kung tutuusin dahil puting pintura ang ginamit dito at plywood din ang lapag, ngunit may nakikita akong sampay ng mga damit sa railing ng kama, mayroong maliit na lababo sa may gilid kaharap ng dalawang double deck na magkadikit ang ulunan. Tapos sa tabi ng lababo ay may pintuan na hula ko ay paliguan at sa harapan ko, sa may dulo ng selda ay locker na sakto para sa aming apat na naririto ngayon.Napalingon ako sa paligid nang maramdaman ang titig nilang lahat.

  • Darling, I'm Toxic   Save me

    "There is no such thing as 'stop' during fighting, but each one of us has been given an opportunity to pause and reflect in order to survive; don't squander it with your greed." -Miss A, Erity"Beg for me! Beg!"Napahiyaw ako sa sakit ng pinisil na naman nya ang aking dibdib. Lumayo ako rito at nakasimangot na tumingin sa kanya. Napapamura nalang ako sa inis sa pandarayang ginagawa niya sa akin. Kanina ay pinalo ni Rodora ang aking pwet bago ako ibalibag ng malakas. Ramdam ko parin ang sakit sa aking likod at mga kamay na nagasgasan. May isang beses pang sinubukan akong halikan ng babae matapos akong suntukin mabuti nalang ay nakaiwas ako at malakas na sinuntok ang sikmura nito. Tangina. Tomboy ata ang babaeng kalaban ko! I was sweating profusely and my body was covered in blood and sweat. I could hear my own loud breathing and the faint noises in my surroundings. Umatras ako palayo ng makita kong lumalapit ito muli sa akin. My knees are trembling with exhaustion. Ilang ulit akong nad

    "If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor." -Eleanor Roosevelt Marahang kalansing ng pagtama ng kutsara at tinidor sa plato, maingay na samu't saring kwentong, tunog ng mga silyang umuurong at mabibigat na hakbang tuwing kumikilos ang maririnig sa loob ng canteen. Itinulak ni Iroshin ang likod ko ng di ko namalayan ang aking biglaang pagtigil. Napatigil kasi ako sa pagtingin at pag obserba ng paligid. Nang makapasok sa loob ng canteen ay naramdaman ko ang nakakatusok ng mga tingin nila. Marahil nagtataka sila kung sino ako o hindi naman kaya, nagtataka sila kung bakit kasama ko si Iroshin, kilala sa tawag na Vigor or Vaughn dito sa loob ng preso. I heard earlier while we're walking that after I lost my consciousness. Iroshin picked me up on the ring together with the Prison Doctor. Then they silently went into his room to treat my wounds. I was thankful that my brother was there because I would have lost a lot of blood if they didn't get me

    “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” -Nelson MandelaHindi ko maintindihan. Bakit kay dali nalang gumawa ng masama kaysa maging mabuti? Bakit kay dali na lang magalit kaysa magpatawad? At bakit tila naging natural na lamang sa atin na gumanti kapag tayo ay naagrabyado o nasasaktan? Isa ako sa mga iyon. Minsan iniisip ko kung kahinaan ba ang ugaling iyon, dahil kung tutuusin wala ni isang magandang naidulot ito sa buhay natin. Kapag nagalit ka dahil may nagawang masama ang kapwa mo, magagalit din naman sila at kapag sinubukan mo namang gumawa ng kabutihan despite its difficulty, it will not be appreciated. Sometimes, people may see it as fake. Nakakatawa lang na ang tao ay may pare-parehas na ugaling hindi nila minsan namamalayan at magawang bitawan kung sakaling maging aware man. Bakit? Dahil lahat tayo gusto ng mas madali. Madaling magalit. Madaling gumanti. Madaling maging masama pero mahirap maging mabuti, magpatawad ng paulit-

    "Confession is always a weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence." - Dorothy DixTatlong araw....Tatlong araw akong nilagnat nung mga panahong iyon. Lumipas na ang dalawang buwan. Hindi ako makapaniwalang ganoon katagal na akong nagstay dito. Hanggang ngayon naiisip ko parin kung imahinasyon nga lang ba ang boses na iyon o totoong may kausap si Shin that time, pero ang tanong na nagpapagulo sa aking isipan ay kung sino? Iyon ang ipinagtataka ko. Bukod sa Doctor at mga inmates na devoted sa kanya ay wala na akong kilalang close pa niya at sigurado along hindi sila iyon. Kung paano ko nasabi? Dahil walang kahit sinong pwedeng lumabas na inmates ng ganung oras at malamang hindi siya si Doctor Hunter dahil considering from what the man said, he is his brother. Hindi kaya... siya yung misteryosong lalaki na tumawag sakin last time ng nakipag-away si Shin? Simula kasi noon ay hindi ko na siya nakita pa. Hindi ko nalang inisip dahil kung tutuu

  • Darling, I'm Toxic   Caught in a Bad Dream

    “Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it, you can never get it back.” — Harvey MacKay"Hello... is anyone here?""Can someone hear me?"What happened? Can someone know how to turn back time? Can someone save me from drowning in this oblivion? I couldn't get up. I couldn't speak. I couldn't move forward. I don't know what to do. Can someone hear my thoughts? Can someone wake me up from this eternal damnation?"Bella," I heard his faint whisper, and when that voice reverberated. I felt my body come out of paralysis. I remember the only person who called me that. So I continued to walk and walk... till my knees wobbled and I got exhausted. Where are you? I couldn't see you. I couldn't find you. There is no direction. I couldn't even get a glimpse of light. I'm completely blind. Is this only a bad dream?Please wake me up.... I don't know where I am. Last time I remember is going out of the room w

    "The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." – Leo Tolstoy"I never expected you to be here. How are you... bella?"Nakabalik ako sa reyalidad ng maramdaman ang paglagay ng hat sa ulo ko. Napatingin ako sa labi niyang tipid na umangat ang gilid. His red lips looks so soft and glossy. It was like seeking my attention. Nakakatitig ako sa labi niya habang bumubuka ang mga iyon."There. You should secure your things Bella" Umayos ako ng tayo at umiwas ng tingin nang lumayo ang lalaki sa akin. He cleared his throat and chuckles with his low husky voice. "What are----"I hissed in pain when someone pushed me at my back. Tumama ang noo ko sa dibdib ni Hali at pakiramdam ko nauntog ako sa pader kaya naman hinimas ko ang parteng nasaktan. "Careful! May nababangga kayo" sigaw ni Hali gamit ang malalim niyang boses bago bumaling sakin. Hali leaned over and whispered in my ear "Are you okay?"I was about to answer but before I could even open my mouth, someone stumbled beside us b

    “Once you get over the first hill, there is always a new, higher one lurking, of course.” ~ Esa-Pekka SalonenMabilis na tumakbo ang sugatang lalaki sa kagubatan. Nang mapansing wala ng humahabol sa kanya. Marahan syang tumigil at hinihingal na napasandal sya sa likod ng puno. Hinubad nya ang kanyang jacket at pumunit siya ng tela sa laylayan ng kanyang tshirt upang balutan ang nagdudugong braso. "Arggh" pagpipigil nya ng sakit habang paulit-ulit na bumubuntong-hininga. Napatikom ang kanyang bibig ng marinig ang papalapit na mga yapak. Dali-dali niyang sinuot ang kanyang itim na jacket."Wag nyong hayaang makatakas ang traydor na yon!" Umaalingangaw ang galit na sigaw ng lalaki sa paligid at ang tunog ng kalaskas ng dahon na kanilang tinatapakan. Napakuyom ang kanyang kamao at mabilis na umalis sa kanyang pwesto. Tila ba'y siya ay nakikipaglaro sa dilim, ang kanyang mga yapak ay walang ingay at ang kanyang mga kilos ay napakagaan. Sumasabay sa malamig na simoy ng hangin ng papas

  • Darling, I'm Toxic   Gut Feeling

    "Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end." – John LennonI woke up feeling lethargic. It's like theres an empty hole inside my chest and I don't know how to deal with it. Just like before, after that tragedy happened. I felt the same emptiness, like the energy is drained out of my body and I was tasting my own poison, my own karma. Dahan-dahan akong bumangon mula sa pagkakahiga at tamad na nagstretch ng katawan. Napatitig ako sa labas ng malaking bintana at napapikit na pinakiramdaman ang nakakapasong sinag ng araw. I heavily sighed and think about what happened last night. After I got home, uminom pa ko ng beer magisa at nagisip-isip. I'm wondering, what is he talking about? Is there something I need to know? Maybe this is not just about serving the justice. I'm not fool. For a short time, I haved known Investigator Adral and he is not the type of person to defend bad people. I was blinded for a while because of anger. But why push about the true kill

    “It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”― Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Saglit na natigilan ako sa tinitignang mga papeles kasama na doon ang litrato ng isang lalaking napakapamilyar sa akin. Napahawak ako sa kaliwang kamay ko upang pigilan ang panginginig. I breathe in and out. Knowing that it was him, who once part of my beautiful fairy tale life before. Indeed, the pain may left for a while but as long as the scar is there. It was never gone. I have come to a decision in life to never go back to where I am before. I knew that it was but I also knew that in the moment, for me, it was necessary. I am desperate and hurt. So I did what I did. For the months I have runaway to my hometown, I experienced a beautiful life of healing and soul restoration. Not until now. A gorgeous who came to invade my life once again... Tumalim ang tingin

  • Darling, I'm Toxic   Never Playing Again

    "I once dreamt of someone holding my hand until daylight, on a freshly vague page of my life." - Miss Erity They claimed that people will meet someone who is mysteriously connected to them at some point in their lives. The unknown force, breathing and whispering from your skin as if it were the largest portion of your soul. I had never believed that until I met one. Surprisingly, his eyes connect the gaps in between. However, it is frightening to consider that one person has the power to either heal or destroy you. That is something I will never, ever allow to happen to me. I'm no stranger to this kind of feeling, but this time it's unfathomably strong and scorching. All I could do was flee. Run as far away as possible to avoid being burned. But how can I? If the fire has its own mind and keeps on coming towards me "We meet again." nakangiti kong sambit sa kanya pagkalabas namin namin ng haunted house display dito sa carnival. Ang haunted house ay tila isang maliit na man

  • Darling, I'm Toxic   A Name I longed for

    “Your soulmate will be the stranger you recognize.” — r.h. SinNapabalikwas ako ng bangon ng tila nahulog ako sa gulat dala ng aking panaginip. Napahilamos ako ng mukha ng magpatanto kung ano yung napanaginipan ko. I look at my phone and saw that he didn't reply on my message until now. Tumingin ako sa orasan at nakitang mahigit isang oras na ang nakakalipas. Sa pagod ay hindi ko na namalayan na nakaidlip pala ako kakahintay sa kanyang reply.I sigh. Nilinis ko ang pinagkainan ko at kinuha ang malate. Masyado pang maaga para matulog ako, pero tinatamad na ako kumilos. Umakyat ako sa taas kasama ang dalawang maleta at pabagsak na humiga ako sa kama. Nakatingala sa ceiling habang ang utak ko ay patuloy na gumagana. Until thoughts conquers my consciousness. It's been a while. I didn't how fast the time was until time, became the only hope I have. Totoo ngang hindi mo kayang diktahan ang tadhana mo. Sinubukan kong laruin ang tadhana ko at ng ibang tao, pero sa huli ipinakita nito sa aki
