Meditation 17, Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions (1624) by John Donne (1573-1631)

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s
or of thine own were. Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee…”

In the last four months I have…

…gone to lunch-out’s at least once a week.

…not gone to the gym nor worked out seriously.

…prepared a six course meal.

…been to church more than the whole of last year.

…watched two shows in CCP twice. The third will be tonight.

…made two miniature lawn chairs out of popsicle sticks.

…been cleared of pimples!

…found a treasure in a Cubao ukay-ukay.

…have consulted a doctor twice for two different ailments.

…finished reading a book and attended a seminar – both self-help.

…cried at least four times.

…not gone to barbershops. I go to Fix instead.

…confessed to a friend. A major confession.

…attended two funerals for two uncles.

…done a lot more thing I cannot write here…at least not right now.

As much as I want to write about what keeps me busy, I can’t.

Maybe because I’m busy.

Salamat sa Coldplay

Kailangan ko ng tapalodo. Hindi naman dahil sa gusto ko magtrabaho. Gusto ko lang tumingin ng diretso.

Gusto ko ng alas-dyes, pati alas-dose. Hindi ako nagkakape. Oras yun na masaya ako sa ang aking katabi.

Ayaw ko ng aking silya. Maingay ito at hindi makaayon sa aking kaha. Nainggit tuloy ako kay Priscilla.

Singhal.

Hindi ko man malunod sarili ko sa katahimikan, nandyan naman ang mga rock band.
