take the words away from me
and I will be left with nothing

kung matapang lang ako,
sa'yo ko binigay ang puso blue rose ko.

Hold On

I close my eyes
and let myself drown
in this whirlpool of regret
reaching out for every bit of hope I can grasp ---
hoping that someone would take my hand
and save me from this hell I myself created

but now I realize
'tis a place where the sun doesn't shine
and now I'm drowning here
in this sea of lie and pretence
waiting for someone to take my hand ---

and as I slip away
from every bit of sanity
that is left in me
the bittersweet pain of reality hit me hard:
that no matter how hard i try to escape,
there simply is no way out

and finally darkness held me in a cold embrace
all those years of waiting has come to an end
but only one thing is for certain:
I did not let go ---
they just forgot to hold on.

That was when I finally let myself cry. I cried for him. I cried for myself. I cried for what could have been.


If only I had just found the courage to tell him.


If only I had quit putting it off until someday.


My someday had never come.



I really should stop reading angst stories. T_T

The Pulse will be beating soon

The Pulse Staff
(L-R: Adrian, Kris, Vincent, Via, Rachel, EJ, AJ, Keir, Chris)

Meet the staff of Pulse, the (supposedly-printed-but-turned-online) publication of AECES.

We're going to release the online magazine soon so watch out for it! :)


And now back to editing the articles. Dun dun dun...

The what-ifs and could-have-beens

The most painful thoughts are the what ifs and could have beens.

...what if I finished it on time?

...I could have been part of that, too. 

But there's nothing I can do about it now.

Dear ECCE 2011,

You guys are the best. I love you. ♥

Like, major major. Haha.


Love,
Rachel


P.S.
Sorry emo. Kakatapos lang ng Pabaon e. Trololol.

Troll troll trolling in Omegle

I was supposed to be doing some editing tonight but I got bored and decided to troll in Omegle instead.

Well, tried to troll, that is. I ended up having a decent conversation with someone. I fail at trolling. Le sigh.

He said his name is James. I was instantly reminded of James from Team Rocket. Ha.

I also tried trolling using Disney song lyrics. It was more successful than the previous one, if I may say. And I love how he's clueless that it was a song.

Dear people-who-make-me-smile-even-when-we're-miles-apart,

Thank you. It means a lot to me.

I love you.


Much love,
Rachel
