Behind the Shadow of a Doubt
Daily
Obsession with
Unfounded,
Baseless
Transgression
Have you ever been in a situation wherein you’re caught in the middle of a doubting and a doubtful personality? Would you be easily swept with revelations which may just be a product of some obsessive notion? Personally, I try to as much as possible be objective and level-headed whenever I’m caught in this kind of situation. But I tell you, it’s not an easy undertaking. It’s especially hard to keep a balanced perspective when the people involved are both important to you.
This ordeal made me think about the complexity of breaking one’s trust. Trust is something which should be dealt with utmost care and caution. Once shattered, it would definitely be hard to gain back the privilege of being regarded with faith and confidence. With trust gone, one can expect that doubt would always loom despite whatever effort is shown; it takes a lot of sincerity and proving of one’s worth in order for doubt and hesitation to be erased.
If only people would just be true and sincere with their words and actions then there would be no more lies. If only people would find it easy to forgive and forget about the faults of the past then there would be no more doubt. If only there were no more lies and doubt then the world would be a happier place to live in. If only.

Random Thoughts on a Restless Night
It’s one of those nights again when I can’t seem to put my eyes to sleep. I’ve already watched all the late night shows on TV and have gone through 2 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy and my eyes are still wide awake as an owl’s. For lack of a better thing to do, I’ve decided to just rummage through my MP3s in my laptop and I stumbled upon Everybody’s Changing by Keane at the top of my MP3 list. As I clicked on the play button, I realized how struck I am with the song; it clearly sums up my current thoughts and emotions. Let me internalize it further.
Everybody’s Changing
by Keane
You say you wander your own land
Everybody’s Changing
by Keane
You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why
Different forms of change are happening around me lately….weddings, babies, sickness, death, love, hurt, happiness, sadness, victory, defeat, etc. And how do I respond to these forms of change? I seem to be not so bothered by it at the onset but when I thought hard about it, I realized how sad they made me feel, maybe because change is something that I’m seeking for so long but have not been currently blessed with.
So little time, trying to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same
The changes that the people around me are experiencing in their lives have somehow made me rethink about the current state of my life. I realize that my life’s been at its most static pace ever, it’s so routine and uneventful. Sure there are exciting activities that I’ve recently engaged myself into like sports, photography and dancing but it still can’t hide the fact that there’s still a big thing lacking.
You’re gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Cause everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel right
Change, as they say is the only constant thing in this world, I guess there are a lot of opportunities for change out there for me but perhaps the truth of the matter is I’m not yet ready to delve into unfamiliar territory and step out of my comfort zone. To risk is something which I’m not acquainted with lately, I’ve always lived my life as a goody, law-abiding citizen. Maybe it’s high time that I do something spontaneous. For once, I’ll let my guard down and let loose. If change doesn’t come to me then I’ll be the one to approach it.

What a Drastic Change in Hairstyle Means
Whenever I’m faced with a certain dilemma or whenever I find myself in a situation wherein I don’t have control over, the first thing that comes to my mind is a need for change. And oftentimes, I associate change with a new hairstyle.
I admit that a lot has been going through my mind lately…thinking about a lot of things like love, work, family, the future. I thought that this was another opportunity to get a haircut! So I went to the neighboring Piandre Salon in Salcedo early this morning at around
The salon is definitely one of my places of refuge whenever I'm feeling down and depressed. It is a perfect venue to cut the past and allowing myself to face life anew, that's why the next time you see me sporting a new 'do, you already know what it means. ;)
From Sunny to Faded Yellow
“Your worst fear has been confirmed.” was a friend’s YM message to me. I stared blankly at her message hoping that she’d take her statement back, that it was just a joke. But after 5 minutes of no follow up statement whatsoever, I began to realize that what she told me was true. I could not believe that this giddy feeling that I’m experiencing would be cut short just like that. She told me that she knew that the news would definitely sadden me but she had to tell me nevertheless. It did hurt and it even brought some mist into my eyes but what can I do? There’s no choice but to accept the truth. I appreciate the fact that I learned about it this early than later when a lot has been invested already, emotional investment, that is.
Apart from accepting the painful truth, I guess I should also learn to draw the line. Guarding and not allowing myself to fall for any tricky trap. As a moving on mantra, I found this line from Coldplay’s song "Yellow" to be the most fitting and the most relatable.
“I drew a line...I drew a line for you…Oh what a thing to do… And it was all yellow..”
