To paraphrase Emmanuel Lacaba:

"'What is a mystic? He is one blessed, or burdened, with two things: infinite imagination, and infinite sadness.' Or, ___ thought, infinite love, and infinite madness."

Si Nanay? Si Tatay? Siguro, sa kabilang buhay. That is, kung sa langit din ang punta ko. (May langit nga ba?) (Pero, Lord, hindi pa naman ako nagmamadali ngayon...)

Si Jack Kerouac? Si Allen Ginsberg? Ah, si Emman Lacaba. At si John Lennon.

Puwede ring si Maria Sharapova, basta hindi siya sumisigaw.

Gusto ko ring maka-one-on-one sina:

- Adam Morrison
- Etan Thomas
- Adonal Foyle
- Steve Nash (oo, kahit nag-sell out siya sa Nike).

Honesty. Loyalty. Nothing short of unfettered, fearless love. Long walks in Cubao, jogging in U.P. Diliman. Indie films at Robinson's Galleria. Texting till 3 a.m. Tea at Gateway. Wi-fi on Saturdays on campus. The Beatles and Tom Waits and Velvet Underground. Ice cream, sinigang at Trellis, bonfires. The seawall at MOA. Aborted trips to Tagaytay. Something that is more than only fair. All's well that will end well.

Nahanap ko na nga yata ang Cinderella ko.
