He's Baaaack!

Bakit ang tagal kong nawala?

Sorry for being out for so long! Been doing so many academics and org related stuff for the last month or so. But now, I think I need to detox a bit, and what better way than writing?

Yes, no better way than writing!

(Well, maybe except for a few things like an all-night party, or a weekend in Boracay or Palawan, or a bucket full of bacons.)

So anyway, back to blogging! As you can see, I've got a video of the song Linger up there. So before we get unto that, just some administrative matters first! :D

1.)  I'm writing a mini-running-story about..well..stuff. :) Hopefully I can post them here regularly.

2.) Elections are fast approaching! I'd like to write something about that too! And speaking of elections...

3.) Our organization, UP Tangway, is going to have an intra-org freedom writing contest, about the topic Love AND Election. I joined both the essay and poem categories. And of course, I'll post it here. There is a limit of one entry per person per category, but I think I'm going to write more than one, so I'll just post here those other entries that I won't be passing.

Okay! Now that is over, let's go on to the real post. :)

Bakit nagtatagal ang pagtingin na matagal ng nahihimbing?

For a long long time, in excess of 30 months to be more specific, I've had a crush (and just a crush) on this one girl. I didn't know her name, all I remember was her face, what she wore that day, how she walked, how she talked, and how her voice sounded. I continued to see her, be it personally or in pictures as the months pass. Eventually, by chance, I got to know her name, though I never really got the chance to interact with her.

Up until now, she remains to be the biggest crush of my life. It just makes me wonder why my "feelings" stayed as such for the past 2 and a half years. Could it be because she is still mysterious from my point of view? Is it because I haven't seen nor met anyone that could top her? Or is it because it is now transcending towards a point much deeper than a crush?

Honestly, I don't know. Honestly, I'm excited to know. And honestly, I have a bias towards a particular answer. And all the while I am writing this, I can just feel the excitement within me.

Or at least I'd like to think of it as excitement, and not fear. I may very well be just as scared to know the answers to my questions.

Why would you have to let it linger?
