The Wanderer and His Shadow

Birthday party, slyeye, and some pre-valentine ranting

Before going to work, I went to my god son's birthday party. Met a lot of Patronus members, and seen a lot of familiar face. Before I went there, Ryann, my tech guy who's now teaching in Ateneo de Zamboanga is also here in Manila, but he'll be leaving tonight to go to Ateneo de Naga to observe animation students there.

Going back to the party, I met slyeye (andrew's sister), no formal introduction whatsoever though... and she sure is not only of substance but also of beauty. Beauty so natural, that it seems perfect for the human eye to conceive. I got the privilege to see her magnanimous beauty emulate from a far, and upto now, still thinks about the short span wherein our eyes locked up for a split second. I hope I'll be able to spend some time to know her not only through the binary beauty of her words but in person where I can see her facial expression as we talk about life.

Lately I've been wondering, and i've been awed by the odd ways our fates work. Never have i imagined that the world could be this small. How people cross each others' lives, and how in a moment, everything could change. I believe that I'm young, for i've so much to learn yet...

Throughout my life, i have learned, that sometimes, things have to wait. I have learned that judgments are not like kitchen refuse to be just thrown away, they have to be carefully constructed in the most possibly unhurting way. I have also learned that life isn't just about you, neither is it just about me, but its also about them, him, her, or maybe, it. It's about all of us.

I also find it fascinating how things work accordingly. Surely for the Christians, someone superior is up there, watching every move we make, the sole architect of every single event that takes place here on earth. But for me, i'm content just to believe that the mysteries of life are beyond our human comprehension. I believe no prophet could ever prophecize what the future holds. No Golden Buddha could grant the fortunes of an individual. No sacred cross could bring upon salvation. Some things are better left unsaid. Who wrote the book of Genesis anyway? So when i ask myself WHY I met slyeye, I don't really know. And I don't care what the answer might be. I'm just thankful we did.

Well, I'm here again at work finishing my last week in training. I miss my team. I miss being at a real work environment where the pressure is high, and where every second counts. Whatever I do, Patronus will serve as my inspiration, remembering once that even a diverse group of people, just as long as there's teamwork coupled with the labor of love, when put together, could achieve a common goal that will surpass those that does not do it with joy.

Finally, I have a Valentine's Song for R. I hope you like it. :)

I’m here without you baby

but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

and I dream about you all the time

I’m here without you baby

but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rolling

as the people either way to say hello

I hear this life is overrated

but I hope it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby

but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

and I dream about you all the time

I’m here without you baby

but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl it’s only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

It gets hard but it won’t take away my love

And when the last one falls,

when it’s all said and done

it get hard but it won’t take away my love

To all the people I love... Cheers and wish you a happy heart's day!
