I recently stumbled through some old things - and old things - meaning things that I have grown to live without for the past 4 years.  It was pretty amusing and surprising especially when these kind of things suddenly emerge just because they almost drowned during Ondoy’s visit in Manila.  So there, while I run through old notebooks, books and old test papers from college, I chance upon a copy of vol.1 issue 2 of DAPITAN: the literary folio of Flame (AB’s literary group).  It wasn’t long before i saw myself skimming through it and a particular line suddenly struck me.  It was written by a very good friend of mine, (we used to be seatmates in freshmen year) as part of his forward for DAPITAN.

“Ang totoo, inaabangan natin ang daraan at hindi ang darating.” - J.dl Saguid

I begin to wonder how true the line is… how we try to wait for something or even someone and eventually - let it pass by.  How its easy for some people to let go of things that they waited for so long…the chances given and the choices made.

So here I am, between chances and choices, I think it’s about high-time for me to go back to my first love - writing.
