I Fear

A Last Goodbye by Alessandra Carloni, 2015

That one day you will go
And I will not say no
That one day you'll be gone
And I'll be left with none
That one day we will end
And all my dreams fall dead
That on that day I'll forget you
And everything you did.

A few weeks ago, I applied for leave so I could go home. Ambin's home isolation period was also about to end so it was perfect. We talked over the phone about what we'd do when we see each other. I said I have to go to Borongan City for my dental checkup. I was gonna be home for only a few days so I wanted to make the most out of it. We agreed to go together as he's been dying to eat lechon at Cebu's Best Boneless Lechon. It's also been years since he visited the city. I also asked him if we could drive to the beach. I miss the sea!  We were making fun of ourselves when we got to the topic of us moving in together. We talked about buying furniture for our apartment which will be our home for our first years together. He wants to buy a TV, I want a sofa. I told him he should be in charge of the kitchen since he's a better cook, he said we'll just order take-out. Just another exchange of humorous banters that would sometimes get personal. Haha. Next thing we k...

Girl Dad

Yesterday, I assisted an accused during his inquest. He was charged with violation of the Safe Spaces Act. He drove around the downtown area then stopped and grabbed a woman's breasts. He was apprehended minutes later and brought to jail. He was a small guy and relatively young, only twenty-three years old. During his inquest, he never once looked at me. His head was always down and he almost sounded like he was sobbing. After the proceeding, the accused's father came to our office to ask for assistance in filing a motion to post bail for his son's temporary release. I looked at him and saw sadness and shame in his eyes. I told him to inquire at the City Prosecution's Office how much was the recommended bail amount. Then a security guard who was listening to our conversation said that he heard it was thirty-six thousand pesos. I turned to the father and asked, "do you have this amount?" I explained to him that we can wait until the case is filed in court so we...

Beginning & End

Time is so damn slow, I'm just growing old, I live like I'm dead. A lyric in the song Sober goes.  Sober was released sometime in 2015 by the Korean superstars BIGBANG. I was introduced to the KPOP group back in college by a good friend who is a huge fan. Though I hardly understand their language, I find their music quite compelling. I recently downloaded their entire discography on Spotify after seeing their movie MADE on Netflix. Since then, I've been feeling sentimental every time I hear their songs. Well, I do get emotional pretty easily. But this one is a mix of nostalgia, regret, and longing. I was in college when BIGBANG became massive. Together with Super Junior, 2ne1, Girls Generation and Wonder Girls, they ruled the MYX top lists, which I used to tune into back in the day. I remember walking from UP Tacloban to RTR Plaza with earphones on, playing their hits on my Nokia 5300. My earphones had wires and I'd insert it in my shirt. I used to like the long way hom...
