Cast PartY


Feelin': Itchy
Hummin': Color Everywhere by Christian Bautista


Yes, it was last friday, yups, about 48 hours ago.
Yes, it is the weekend before the finals.
Yes, I do have an oral exam on Philosophy tomorrow.
Yes, I do have to cram it all in before lunch tomorrow.
Yes, I said I don't drink, but I guess I do now.
Yes, the late hours made my eyes puffier than they already are.
Yes, I slept over Ina's house and bonded with the other girls.
Yes, I was scratching more that usual when I woke up.
Yes, I found out that I do have allergic rashes all over me.
Yes, it is itchy and uncomfortable.
Yes, it was because of the liquor.
Yes, it was embarassing to win "most likely to get married first" award.

Second Chances

Second Chances




Not everyone gets a second chance at something that they fail to do. Sometimes, life just won't allow you to redeem yourself, even if you drop to your knees, walk that way for a hundred miles and bawl your eyes out. But in rather rare occasions, a person is fortunate to be granted or presented with another opportunity to undo a wrong, or at least, restore what once was.

I've learned lessons through perplexing acts of fate what it feels like to be granted a second chance, even when I know deserve it the least. It feels as though fresh, cold water has been handed to you while you're traveling in a desert at the point that your tongue feels as rough and as dry as the burning sand. It made me want to smile and hug everyone.

Refreshing, awakening, rejuvenating.

I figured, the least I can do is repair as much of the damage as I possibly can. I will probably leave a mark, a scar of my wrongdoing, but I thought, I could go to the drug store, buy Sebo de Macho and maybe lighten it a bit.
