Pumpkin heads up

Location: University of Sto. Tomas (Espana,Manila). It is probably one of the oldest universities in Manila.
Background music: sounds of howling dogs on a full moon and loud slow heart beats... (sorry ka pero kailangan talaga, meron. ako author dito ;p)

Story: A female college student went to the toilet room to wash her face after the last of her night classes was dismissed. This girl was infront of the mirror, when she washed her face with water. As soon as the water splashed on to her skin and she raised her head to face the mirror, she saw a reflection of a woman with long black hair standing but elevated from the floor just a few feet behind her. She spun around but saw no one and yet when she turned to face the mirror again it was there again, only closer.To her panic, she shut her eye lids so tight the straining was obvious and then she quickly chanted "Hail Mary full of Grace...Hail mary full of grace...Hail Mary full of grace" in an attempt to pray it away. You'd think the prayer would make it go away, but when she opened her eyes, It was standing an inch right behind her, "hail Mary full of grace hail mary full of grace" it mimmicked with a very amused grin. ***o may kinilabutan ba?...ah wala...hahahaha***
Urban Legend. This has a version in Bagiou, PICC, CCP and who knows where else. If its a simple fabricated story or if its true, who knows for real?

Pagmuni-muni ng mga kanya-kanyang ghost stories;halukayin na ang baul, takutan na naman. Halloween is drawing near. And while other countries trick or treat, majority of the Pinoys are up to exchanging creepy experiences and entertaining the existence of the unnatural. Tagay. Tagay. (Although with all due respect, I also acknowledge the fact that globally,yes we pay tribute to our dead, we share coincidental presence with people who go to the same graveyard/cemetery)

Another certain thing you can expect is heavy traffic, aside from people selling 'palamig' or ice cold drinks inside the cemetery,the flowers particularly expensive and the candle business doing good. Whatever is keeping the people busy, everyone is up to something. And malakas ang third eye ng Bayan sa panahong ganito.

Friends and barkadas dare each other to ghost hunt, driving by dark places and looking for something to maybe scare the life out of them. Quija Boards <speaking of Quija Board ha...super buulooook yang Quija movie nila Juday and Jolens. bakit kasi pinanood ko pa noon yan, la lang nalala ko lang,anu ba kasi> and circle formation for calling out spirits lurking by. I dont know all of it. But somewhere out there, im pretty sure someone is going to be up to it.

Too bad, there's no more "Magandang Gabi Bayan" Show, hosted before by none other than the now turned Vice President of the Philippines, Mr. Noli De Castro. Take note, dun ko napanuod ang mga anino ng mga dwendeng nag sasayaw ng Macarena :) Sa Pilipinas lang merong talented dwende :)

On my personal opinion with regards to ghost and the unnatural, i'll talk about it later ..................maybe.

So what do i like most about Halloween? No Work. No Classes. I am definitely not looking forward to the time when i will have to spend Halloween or All Saints Day, the way it was originally meant to. I think im staying home again this year. Yaya could do whatever, its her birthday anyway, yes seriously it is. Maybe I'll get her a cake. hmm.

~~~but yes i also do remember my sister, and we will light a candle for her.

A Day without Rain...

August 22. Why do we commemorate someone's death? is it simply beacuse we cannot forget?

Its been 4 years since she died.


All the rivers flow to the Sea
Yet the Sea never become full
But to the place where they Go...
The river keeps on flowing.
-Ecclesiastes 1:7


sometimes when i pray.. i tend to fall asleep half way.
or Sometimes Im just trying to pray. Most times, my prayers are light and other times they are too dark.

But there are prayers we mean, we mean to the heart ...
I remember...
I never begged for a bigger miracle.. than for my sister to live.
Watching her gasping and forcing herself. .

It was moments i would never even in my nightmares dream my sister would have to go through...

Lord I do not know the reasons why ...
but behind my doubts is a trusting heart..
that You are God... A God who is just.
And that You.. have plans for us.
And that everyone has a purpose.
That where.. You have taken my sister is a far better place than here.

--Achie. ( Same prayer for 4 years. same prayer)

We Miss you...
