Para Sayo ang Tulang Ito

“Bitter” ang ibig sabihin ng pangalan mo
Pero dahil sayo, ang buhay ko’y better kahit di mo ito natatanto
Kaya naman, mahal, ikay inibig ko
Isa kang anghel na iniluwa ng langit upang sagipin ako.

Kahit na noong una tayong magkita akala mo ako’y sira-ulo.
Kaya naman tinatanong ko ang sarili ko
Sa libo libong taong araw-araw ay ating nakakasalubong
Bakit kaya ikaw at ako ang pinagtagpo?

Ang sabi ko “Mahal kita!”
Ang sagot mo “Kaibigan lang kita.”
Ang sakit, pero okay lang
Umaasa parin akong baling araw sa puso mo’y ako ang bibihag

Naging masaya ako sa kung ano tayo
Magkaibigang nariyan kapag pinagsakluban na ng mundo
Ngunit ang unan ko’y basa ng luha
Bakit puso ko’y ikaw pa ang nakakuha?

Ang sabi ko, ikaw ang pangarap ko
Buwan ng disyembre, Parokya Ni Edgar ang peg ko
Harana sayo’y sinalubong
Sa harap ng mga tao, hiya ay nilunok ko

Mahal kita, o giliw kong ako’y ginawang ampalaya
Sa pait ng mga nangyari’y puso ko’y nawasak
Patawarin mo ako dahil ika’y inibig ko
At patatawarin kita dahil iba ang mahal mo.

Kaibigan kitang malapit, at iyon ang hindi ko nakita
Sana’y mas pinahalagahan ko iyon eh di sana ngayon tayo’y magkasama
Pero di ako nagsisisi na ika’y minahal ko
Dahil ang anghel na tulad mo ay minsan lang dumating sa buhay ko.

A love that defies the rule of living… a love that goes against the law of surviving…

Nagsisimula palang ang love story nina Lance at Nicole ngunit bakit tila nakatakda na itong magwakas? Paano ka lalaban sa itiknakda na ng tadhana?

Pinili nina Lance at Nicole na labanan ang tadhana at bumigay sa itinitibok ng kanilang puso. Their days are filled with butterflies and rainbows with glittering lights. Pero sa huli ay karibal parin nila ang kanilang mga sarili sa one and only chance na makabalik sa kanilang mga natutulog na katawan. Nagmistula silang araw at buwan na hindi pwedeng magsama sa iisang kalangitan.

Bibitiw ka ba sa relasyong walang katiyakan upang ipagpatuloy ang iyong buhay o pipiliin mong manatili sa piling ng taong iyong mahal at sundin ang itinitibok ng iyong puso?

Pandayan Bookshop's Book Fair and Book Signing

So I can't be formal at blogging, specially with this one.

This is my first time to participate on a book signing event. And I didn't know what to expect. Siguro langaw at OPness ang ineexpect ko. Haha.

But then I was wrong to think na lalangawin ako...

Hindi ko alam kung paano ko i-express ang pasasalamat ko sa lahat ng fans na dumalo, nararamdaman ko na ang pagtanggap niyo sa katulad kong isang amature na writer. Kayo ang tumutupad sa pangarap ko. Maraming maraming salamat.

Nakakatuwa sila, lalo na yung mga fans na nagpapapicture...
Nakakatuwa kasi feeling ko naging artista ako. Hahaha. Salamat sa mga fans na nag-abala pang magpapicture sa akin. Feeling ko tuloy ang gwapo ko.
  
Screen shot hehe. Posted by a fan. (Tamad ako magcrop sorry)

May sketches ng characters sa book...

Yung mga nanginginig na akala mo ako ang presidente ng Pilipinas at may pahabol na "Kuya ang gwapo mo po" habang hinihila na siya papalayo ng kanyang mga kaibigan...

Yung mga taong di magkamayaw sa pagpapapirma at picture sa akin at sumisingit pa talaga...

Masaya ako kasi naging chance ko din iyon na makita ang idol ko...

Nakakatuwa, lalo na nung magkakasama kami sa loob ng dressing room.

Sobrang maraming salamat sa lahat ng pumunta at nagpapirma. Nagkaconfidence ako dahil sa inyo. Thank you! Sana hindi kayo magsawa hanggang sa huli. At sana subaybayan niyo ang mga susunod pang mga librong isusulat ko.

Carla Humphries with Unwanted Fairy Tale

So yesterday morning, I received a notification from a very close friend. She tagged me on a post she shared from lifebooks. I opened it late (as in late) kasi ala una na ako nagising. And to my surprise, TADA!
(c) Lifebooks Publishing Fanpage
Oh di ba nakaplastic pa yung libro? Haha. Natawa ako nung napansin ko yun. Nakakatuwa kasi isa si Carla sa mga pinapanood ko noon sa ABS kapag weekend afternoons, kasabayan niya noon sina Dino Imperial, Impress Schuck (dunno the spelling, tamad mag-google) and the rest. Nakakaboost ng confidence for me ah. Alam ko namang hindi pa niya nabasa yan, or if mababasa niya pero wala lang. Nakakaboost nga kasi ng confidence kapag nakikita mo ang libro mo sa public.

I posted it sa twitter and IG yesterday and tagged her, kaso I'm not sure if ito ba yung official account niya. Pero after few hours of posting it kasi nilike niya yung photo.
Last Night at IG
 Laking kilig ko na naman. Ako kasi yung tipong madaling pakiligin ng artista, mapansin lang sa twitter or IG eh grabe na ang tuwa. Lalo pa noong one time na sinasagot ako nina Bianca Gonzales at Gladys Reyes.

Nakakatuwa lang kapag nakikita ko yung effort ng publisher ko. Ang naitutulong ko lang ay sa facebook, twitter at IG, pati na dito at sa wattpad, minsan sa tumblr din. Ewan ko kung may nakakapansin kasi hindi naman ako sikat. Sana ngayong 2014 sumikat na din ako, sana marating ko yung pangarap kong mala Marcelo Santos III or Bob Ong! Tapos movies! At sana mapush ng Pandayan yung book signing ko. Haha.

2014 na! New Year Post!

So may kalokohan kasi ako kanina, I have this friend na gusto kong i-chat, so dinahilan ko nalang na ichat lahat ng kaibigan kong online and greet them a happy new year. Pero sa totoo lang isang tao lang gusto kong i-chat. Haha. Kainis. Ilang taon na kaming magkakilala kaso hanggang ngayon craving parin ako sa attention niya. Kahit ilang taon ang dumaan, hindi nagbago yun.

I really don't know if I what I should say to 2013, I guess just a good farewell I guess. Yes, medyo swerte ako ngayong 2013 dahil ang daming panagarap ko ang natupad. Pero napakarami ring napakasakit na nangyari sa akin this year. Earlier this year, nakapag-ipon ako ng pera and bought a second hand 4th generation ipod (ngayon ko lang ikukwento ito gusto ko nga siyang kalimutan eh) then I didn't know that it was stolen so when it was traced the parents of that girl was accusing me to be a theif at nireport pa ako sa student affairs office ng school namin. In the end I gave them the device kahit hindi bayaran kasi:
1) that's how good I am
2) I know it's right even if it feels so wrong, and ITS WRONG NA HINDI NILA AKO BAYARAN
3) I believe that what goes around, comes around.
And my papa was arrested. All the people who respected and feared him were the same people who practically spitted on his face, even his cousins did. My mom decided to take him to US muna so that he won't hear the things people say about him. After 5-6 months, the cased was closed and everything is fine, my dad is with us and I'm so happy. But those months were the darkest months of our lives, it's very difficult for us four. Kami ng ate ko na naiwan dito, we felt so alone. Sa dami ng kamag-anak namin, siguro kulang sa sampu ang nakakaalalang mangamusta every now and then. Then the rest nagparamdam nalang nung pabalik na sina mama. I hate those people na hindi kami naalala noong mga panahong wala sina mama, tapos biglang nakaalala nung pauwi na sila. Now I know who among my relatives can I rely on, mind you that they are very few.

Hindi ko na maalala yung ibang events that wants me to curse 2013. But I'm telling you marami pa po.

On the lighter side, yes napagbigyan akong magpapublish ng dalawang book, yung isa malakas ang sales while super hina naman nung isa kong novel. I don't know what to feel actually. I'm happy, but also disappointed. But the dreams I had when I was in high school slowly realized themselves one by one. I'm a little scared because everything happened so fast, and I'm just afraid it's not meant to last.

Finally my best friend and her girlfriend and I are okay. We've talked already, we're cool with each other. Slowly regaining our lost bonds, pero I can't say I'm that confident na maibabalik namin ang lahat sa dati. But I hope!

18 years old ako nang una akong mag bar, yes ngayong taon lang ako natutong magbar. Though natry ko naman na noong 16 ako.

Somethings still didn't change tulad ng friendzoned parin ako at may VIP seat parin ako dun. Still no girlfriend, proud virgin (kasi konti nalang kami haha) but still hoping na soon I'll have a girlfriend. Sana lang hindi na ako matorpe.

So I really don't know what to say to 2013. I guess, farewell! Good riddance. But still thank you for all the blessings this year. Who am I to complain? I am just grateful that this year was the year that my dreams - the things I really wanted - came true. (insert Don't Stop Believing song here)

I'm looking forward for a better year, a better future as 2014 sinks its teeth on our pulsating necks! I know this will be tough, but I will make this year a whole year of living my dreams!

Comments and Review for Unwanted Fairy Tale

Okay. Here it is. Di ko alam pano sisimulan pero sige :D

Let’s start with the title. First and foremost, gustong gusto ko talaga yung title. Very catchy. Kumbaga, there’s something na agad-agad sa title that made so curious para basahin book na ito. Kasinga di ba, once namarinig mo ang fairytale, usually, “WANTED” siya almost ng lahat coz it is known for its idealistic things pagdating sa mga love stories. Tapos “UNWANTED FAIRY TALE” naman title, so yun, ironic sya yet interesting ang dating para sakin. Bottomline, bet na bet ang title.

Way of writing naman, style ba tawag dun? Haha. Basta, yun na yun. Pansin ko lang, formal na formal then mayamaya, informal na sya. Yun lang naman. In general na yun. Tsaka pala yung choices of words, pang totoy talaga. Though accepted naman yun.  Gusto ko din pagiging straight forward ng writer. Wala gaanong paliguyligoy. Pero mas okay siguro kung mabulaklak pa. Para pandagdag effect.

Let’s go naman sa mga characters. Okay naman sila. Gustong gusto ko mga names . Sa personality and everything naman, they are well introduced to the point na, for me, medyo wala ng sense of surprise. Sense of surprise in a way na mabigyan pa sana ng chance yung mga readers to go deeper and discover things about them as they go on reading. It seems like nasabi na almost lahat tungkol sa kanila umpisa pa lang. I know naman, kadalasan ganun talaga but my point here is that maybe, you can do it in a different way yet interesting pa rin. Unique kumbaga. Tsaka I’m looking for something dun sa ibang characters. Something naparang trademark nila. Yung tipong masasabi kong, “Ah. Si ganto pala yun. Yung mahilig sa ganto. Yung ganto ganyan” in just one snap if possible. Tsaka may mga ibang characters napapasok then aalis na di ko gaanong nakilala. Hehe. Konting push pa sa mga yun. And lastly, konting evil minds pa. I mean push pa para sa mga evil plans and deeds ng mga kontrabida.

Sa mga scenes naman tayo. Eto talaga gusto kong punteryahin kasi magaganda mga ideas mo pero super bitin naman ako. Yung tipong andun na eh. Tapos, biglang mauudlot. Or on the other hand naman, andun na ako, expecting for more pero natapos na agad yung scene na yun. I do not know kung style ng author talaga yun kasi di ko naman masabi, first book niya ito eh. Tsaka konting dagdag pa sana sa mga major scenes and supporting scenes kumbaga. Like bonding moments ng mga kaibigan ni Valene or kaibigan ni Vince or Shiela’s. Tas mga scenes ng kanya kanyang family para mas makilala pa yung mga members ng family and the major characters as well. And most especially, yung mga kilig moments ni Vince and Valene na mala-fairytale talaga! MOOOOOOORRRREEEE !Puh-Leeeeaaasse ! Medyo nag-lack ka dun pero andun na yung kilig lalo na sa gitna hanggang dulo ! Konting push pa para sa “Kilig Much” thingy. More romantic moments together or kasama pa ang iba sa book 2 ha? More “Awwwww” effect din. Pero gustong gusto kotalaga yung mga unexpected events mo most especially ending! Napa-SHEMAY talaga ako! Haha. At dahil dun, super duper na yung pagka-excite ko para sa Book 2. Asssshhhhheeeeennnn ! :D Haha !

So to wrap this up, it is a good and interesting story of a 16 year-old kiddo (if Im not mistaken ha? :D) Kanina pa yang INTERESTING na yan nuh. Haha. Pero yan kasi talaga description ko eh. Haha. I enjoyed reading it yow! I really do. Keep it up. Congratulations ! So proud of you ! And sana may sense tong mga sinabi ko. Haha.
