JANUARY
He was tired. Sleep was nigh. In his mind, thoughts ran like a string of prayer for him to be able to lay right then and there and magically wake up safe, whole, unbroken. The moment couldn't have been any more perfect for all of those things to sink in and be emotional.

FEBRUARY
Some people say that friends shouldn't fancy each other. But who can blame Chris for falling for his best friend? There's always that big chance for a circumstance like this to happen. It's perfectly logical if you think about it. Who is in the better position to love someone other than the person whom someone has an affinity to begin with, a person whom someone has spent countless hours growing up and learning things with, a person whom someone has shared bouts of laughter and tears with, a person who has selflessly cared for that someone day in and day out?

APRIL
But if all else fail, would I pray that I'm built to not break should gravity prove stronger and there's a lack of open arms to cushion the fall? Or would I just watch myself crack and bleed, to feel?
- Easter Egg
MAY
I maybe lost and my life maybe mechanical right now but in due time I'll be able to find myself again; and perhaps then, I'll be found.

JUNE
Forward, the boat moves again. Somewhere farther than it looks, there's a lighted enclave. It took some time but you now know you were never lost. Realizations always take time. And like how the darkness turned everything into nothing, fear made you blind and oblivious to the wonders of traveling by boat at night in the waters of Puerto Galera. In the last few minutes you let go, trusting that the boat will soon be ashore.

JULY
It surprises me how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time it was formed. Truly, walking takes my mind farther than where the feet can take me. In as much as it lets me relive memories, walking grants me a unique sense of level-headedness in dealing with them; for memories can be crippling - holding on too tightly makes us so used to seeing shades of gray that we tend to be blind to the better and brighter things that are in front of us.

Tonight, I want to say the saddest lines but I don't think I can. Not when I know that no one's listening.

OCTOBER
Caught in a flurry of flight and fight. But I shall keep on telling you that I'm alright, and I'm okay (thinking that by repeating it over and over, somewhere down the line, I will be; or you'll know that I'm really not). But if you only knew what's in the back of my mind. You were supposed to save me.

And for what it's worth, it was a reassurance that despite the chaos that is 2009, to deserve all these, I must have been a really good boy.
