Unfortunate Events ll 3:36 PM ll

Argh! Ever since Thursday, I've been trying to create a new post. Blogger were having problems and unfortunately, I'm one of those affected. In the past days, EVERY URL that has "post" in it would never upload at all! I would wait for the page to upload for 1-2 hours and it would never show up! I could just not believe my luck!

I finished the Series of Unfortunate Events! I remember it was August 2006 when I started collecting the 13 books. And now, I did it! I have it all from The Bad Beginning to The End.

Last Yuletide Season, my cousin asked me what gift I would like for Christmas. I said I wanted Book the Tenth of the Series. My father knew about this agreement. Since he was thinking of helping me in completing the Series, he bought Book the Eleventh until Book the Thirteenth. And when Christmas Eve came, my father gave me the books but my cousin changed her mind on what she wants to give me. So, what I have that time are books 1-9 and 11-13. And ever since, everytime we go to a bookstore, I will search for the Book 10. But, it will always turns out that they don't have a copy of that book! And when I went to Bay Mall last Thursday, there it was! And now I have it all! Yay!!

Last Sunday, I finished reading The End. Until now, I am quite speechless with the ending. I still don't know if I'm happy with the ending or not and if all the mysteries that formed in my head were solved or not. I think I'm just not satisfied with how it ended. (But still I finished them all! Yay!)

Last Sunday, a family in the compound have gone to Australia. This means another friend left the compound. Through the years that I have lived in the compound, I have seen people come and go. Friends either migrate to another country or live in Manila to study. The latter still ,of course, comes back in summer and in June, I will be one of them. But those who migrate comes back mostly after 2-4 years. We all know that one by one, our families will migrate to other countries as well and our time being one of the "Batang Tabangao" will be finished. I know each one of us willl be sad when that happens since most of us, like me, have spent their childhood days in the compound with one another.
But until that time comes, I'm just happy that I still live here and I'm still with my childhood friends.
Goodbye, Jovic!

Labels:


The faint scent of tears
On my rain soaked cheeks
The warm look on the face
Of travelers

The music from our childhood
Faintly echoes in the background
The memories
I hopelessly try to remember
Wander aimlessly

But with these tiny wings,
launched by my dreams
Over distant oceans and skies
We'll soar together
To a place
where memories never fade

You light up the way for me
In the darkness of night
Oh, that warm look
On your face
I miss you so much
