Whew! oh boy! All the way from our house, Q.C., to Taytay, back and forth, I have driven my yellow VOLKS WAGEN, Brazil, '74 model, for a test drive, and believe it or not--- it does feel like I'm ridding in a brand new Jaguar. I could smell the scent of life when the wind gushes through my forehead while I drove my dream car from ten o'clock P.M. till 4 A.M. with my Lil---straight.

I drive a car, a very simple but cute and humble beetle vehicle, that never gets attention from anybody alright, but...

Mind you guys, despite my car of having no power locks, power steering, power doors nor power windows ( meaning powerless ) but it's full of spirit indeed.

Who could ever tell the difference, as long as I'm moving from point A to point B. God is just really good and great mate!

Nothing could ever be lovelier than having a joy-ride with my Wynnum...

Gone...

HI ! this is just an excerpt of my up-coming book... hope ya' like it mate!

More often than not, reminiscing often haunts me from the memorable sites and familiar scents. The taste of my youth lingers in my soul. It keeps on reminding me of the past I have had; of great trials and shortcomings that took advantage of my youth. How I wish I could bring back the time and hold onto my ever longed, beloved, love-of-my-life, to stay. Never she knew how much I have loved her, even at times when I failed her, and the times when she needed me the most. I have once walked with her in the hallway. In a humble and cozy canteen of the hospital, we used to share our meals together. I can remember the one-fine-day afternoon, quite lovely and serene. We exchanged words and ideas of how great and lovely life is and was as though not bound by time whence seemed will never end.

In the quiescent side of the hospital, was an escape from the vast hard work. The quietness of the trees pronounced the hums of the birds and the mellows of the breeze. Altogether they sang in chorus and brought melody into our hearts. She was the most beautiful creation God ever made for me, made my heart pounded so intensely. An astounding feelings it was… oh boy!...ah life. I felt I was the happiest person in the universe then, because I was with the girl that I have prayed for: the girl that I always wanted to grow old with, not knowing I could also be the loneliest and the most miserable person in the whole galaxy when the time came and she was gone.

After the hours of toxic duty with our guests, the patients, I hurriedly went to the exact place where the love-of-my-life and I had been on those lovely, good ol’ days. In a very subtle way, I observed the place. It was not as it was before. The trees have grown, some have withered. The old church, AILM (Asian Institute of Liturgical Music ) was still on there. But I can still smell the breeze and the sound of the birds hanging out on the trees. Definitely these were new flock of birds. They didn’t witness the perfect moment of my life.

Every now and then my dreams are still being haunted of her memories. There was a time when I woke up, the feelings I had in my dreams seemed so real. In it, I was trying to bring back the time. I pleaded for her to be in my arms again. I never knew how painful it is to loose someone like her, not until I finally realized that she was---- gone.

I thought I was in a fairy tale, expecting a happy ending: a happily-lived-ever-after ending. I still believe that in the other world we will meet each other. Call me superstitious but sometimes I think I can feel her presence. It’s as if we are heading off the same direction or in the same orbit; and If we both stay on this path and don’t stray, we’ll see each other again someday. I can only hope, that day is sometime very soon. I hope fate smiles upon us to be in each other’s arms …again.

Mournful Day...

maestro

This is the day that the lord hath made... the one whom my genes and my life came from--- passed away. At exactly 5:45 pm, 4th of March, on the year of 2004, my beloved father, Felicito Torremania Tejada, immediately died of Cardio-pulmonary arrest secondary to Acute Respiratory Failure brought about by pulmonary congestion. Antecedent cause of death was an End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) secondary to hypertensive nephrosclerosis. Concomitantly, also suffered an underlying cause of death such as cerebro-vascular disease with recent cerebral and right pontine infarcts; old left frontal and temporal infarcts. He is placed into his rest at Everest Hills Memorial Park, Suzana Heights, Alabang-Muntilupa City.


Surely, I'm gonna miss him...

Life

I may never see tomorrow,
there's no written guarantee
And things that happened yesterday
belong to history.

I cannot predict the future,
I cannot change the past,
I have just the present moments,
I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely
for it soon will pass away,
and be lost forever, as part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion,
help the fallen to their feet,
Be a friend unto the friendless,
make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today
may never be undone,
And friendships that I fail to win
may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance
on bended knees to pray,
but I thank God with a humble heart
for giving me this Day.

CARPE DIEM!

Nah... couch potato i've been in here, I've watched a movie by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler: 50 First Dates, a heart-warming, light-hearted comedy whose direction was by Peter Segal( Director of the film Anger Management by Adam Sandler as well). Plotted from an ultimate bachelor, Adam Sandler, meets the woman of his dreams, Drew Barrymore; only to discover that her short-term memory loss from a vehicular accident, causes her to constantly forget who he is--- and that they're dating for a couple times already; that made Adam faced with a true challenge. I find the film really so wacky, cool, cute and charming. The hilarious Rob Schneider also added to my giggles. I like that guy... he is funny even without saying nothing at all. The film ends thru a never-ending falling in love at eachother every single day coz' it's always the first time for cute--- forgetful Drew.

Maybe it's not the movie after all, but the 3 love lessons I have learned from it.

1. "Love your spouse every single day, as if, it's always the first time."
2. " We shall not pass this road but once, so make the most out of this journey for
we shall never pass this way again..."
3. "Love certainty only comes once in a lifetime."
