Stars twinkle because light travels through turbulence in the atmosphere.

Stars have a special gleam, a twinkle about them.
Only to be seen from your safe distance.
Galaxies away, they are gods of the universe.
Immortal and beautiful.

I tried to count all the stars in the universe.
Only to realize my ignorance.
That infinity cannot be totaled.

I tried to write about them.
But enigma of that kind can never be words.
We may try, but we will always fail.

And maybe that's the point.
That I can say that.
I tried to write about these gods.
And I failed.
And I'm supposed to see the beauty in that failure.
Failure to write about the stars.

But with a newfound thirst for stardust.
A heady objection to failure.
And just maybe.
For a fear that.
After passing up opportunities.
During The First and The Second.
I may not outlive them this time.

So now, in The Third Big Bang.
I can now proudly say.
I went star-hopping.
For the first time.

***

I first came to a constellation.
Shaped like a heart, with a small crack.

But I soon realized that these are silly gods.
And from that point I decided.
To call them plainly as stars.

These stars.
Kept on moving away from each and each.
Their respective gravities chose to repel.
And caused the small crack to open wider.
Wider, bigger, and in danger of breaking apart.
For reasons shocking and mysterious.
Mysterious, and no longer enigmatic.

Silly gods, indeed.

***

Indeed.
Stars have a special gleam, a twinkle about them.
Only to be seen from your safe distance.
Galaxies away, they are gods of the universe.
Immortal and beautiful.
But they burn you up close.

There are billions and billions.
Out there, so infinite of them.
And you.
It is you who burns the most.

Yowza!

Been scouring my mail for some posts to erase (wala lang, I just want to erase things that people should not know), then I saw this, a picture from long ago! Lols... well, I posted it on my profile page thing. It was way back when my hair is long and messy and I am still - thin? Lols.

I smile like a complete idiot.

Haha... Sabi nung friend ko dati, nakasmile daw yung mata ko or something. Hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin alam kung pano yun. Alam niyo naman, may pagkachinito ako. Hahahahaha... asa eh no. Pak, ayaw ko maging chinito, kasi malabo na mata ko eh, baka lalong lumabo.

Eto nanaman ako, mashadong incoherent ang mga isinusulat ko. Ganito talaga ako pag may huge undertaking na nag loloom sa horizon. Wahahaha... hanep sa words. Basta ayun na yun.

Binura ko nga pala yung iba sa latest posts ko, thanks pala kay Aby (who has been through the same, but I know her's is much worse), Israel and Berna. Godbless.
Thanks for the concern :)

Malalaman mo talaga kung sino yung kaibigan mo sa mga ganitong oras.. Well, onti lang naman may alam, yung mga 'fans' nitong blog na to (joke lang), at yung mga sinabihan ko.

Basta, pagnadeads ako punta kayo sa burol ha? :) You'll miss me right? No? OF COURSE, someone will miss me! Ako pa! The life of the group! Hahaha... wow, sobrang pagbubuhat ng bangko ampf. Anyways, looks like I'm not gonna be able to post in blogger for a while. I'll just post if I get a chance. I need a f'n break! Yeah, I will be on exile. To la-la land to be exact. Need time to recuperate from the wounds. Physical and otherwise.

If I don't come back, then that means I will be dead, the culprit - tetano. Lols.

Ok, in Terminator's famous words, Ayl beee bak! Asta la vista baybeh! MMCC! Mwah mwah chup chup! Pak, nagpapraning nanaman ako. :-*
