Patsy's nikki .035 - Dia del Libro

IMG_4566, originally uploaded by patsy_p.

after our class we went straight ahead to Instituto Cervantes in Manila. Because we came in late and most of the books are pretty much sold out we still looked around and prayed that we'd get lucky and we could find some good ones.

The last day (April 25) is the most active day. There was a guitar concert, photography contest,etc.. and the much awaited... the fiesta... this is my first dia del libro and i can say that it was quite good...

“Marie…”

It’s been so long since I’ve heard this name.
I was watching Dan in real life when this name popped up. Then I realized how long it has been since anyone called me this name. after high school people started calling me “Pat” or “Patsy” so all in all 9 years… oh well in those times they called my “Marie” minimally…. I kept repeating it over and over… “Marie… Marie… Marie…” but the usual ring to it was gone; it even felt like she was someone I knew. I keep recalling how it feels like, who she is, and what she does… But nothing… There is nothing… just that Marie was buried with my insomniac-nostalgic-heart breaking childhood… but damn it... I miss being her... She never cared about anything...but she suffered a lot, deprived, unloved, she was nothing… But I love her... It’s one of those things where you would say something like.. “gawd! I miss the old me…” well, I miss her…

SEE YOU THERE!!!!

those words...

" i love you..." those words i can't even say it right. i've told you alot of jokes, and stories but it never slipped by.. "i love you" i've always wanted to tell you that, but it seems like i'm going to die. kiss of death, i know what will happen if i let this go and you'd know... it's never going to be the same.
i said it once but you never listened, if i said it twice it will hurt more than you know. i know what you will say, i've been playing it a thousand times in my head. but in time that you finally know the truth. let me say this... in all those chapters in my life from 1-3 i've never loved anyone like this more anyone else.. i've learned to remove my pride, to roll with the punched, and to give all that you have and more.... so there i just want to say.. "i love you..."

DELE the countdown

all work and no play.. as what the master said.. countdown to DELE now begins.. need to review the basics to refresh my mind... i know how clouded my mind is nowadays.. and i need to focus on the more important things but somehow there is a big storm in my head.. i know it will be over soon but i just cant get it right and now the feeling is coming back again.. i've felt this way before then i let everything go to free myself.. i made some decisions in my life that got hurt... "it all comes in packages..." i knew that but somehow, something is not right.. and now i'm back to the person i never wanted to be.... i'm not like this.. i need to be strong.. this is just one bump in then road.. even if you've loved too much..
