“i remember years ago, whenever i’d wanna forget about her and the story of the two of us, i’d get really drunk. and most of the time it works. then eventually i got over it, got over her. but you know whats funny? nowadays, i usually dont wanna get drunk like shit anymore, because everytime i get too much alcohol in my system, the whole fucking story comes rushing back like a Super C freight train.”

“that time i was trying to heal, i kept on telling myself, “you are stronger than this, you are way stronger than this”…. he was the one who told me these words and i think it helped that i just kept on repeating them to myself. then it became pretty ironic because years later, i found myself telling him that exact same line. the world turned. but ive decided im not gonna be around anymore to watch it turn for him again.”

“you think there’s really a pot of happiness at the end of this grayscale rainbow? i’ve always think of it as something way bigger than what i expect of it to be. but so far, it has come in small sharp pieces that usually cut me one way or another. large ones only bring larger scars. sometimes i feel that im already being too familiar with this state of acceptance. that the pot isnt what im really looking for. i simply just wanna see the end of this grayscale rainbow.”

“alam mo ang problema ng mga tao hindi lang disiplina eh, kundi yung pagkagutom sa kontrol. tignan mo yang mamang yan, kita naman nya naka-green ang mga sasakyan pero tatawid pa din yan… o kita mo tumawid nga ang gago! hindi lang dahil wala sya disiplina eh, pero dahil iniisip nya na kaya nya naman tumawid at hindi sya babanggain. pero pag naaksidente yan ang madadale kaming mga driver. kami naman ang ikukulong eh. iniisip nya kasi konrolado nya ang daan. tsk tsk… san ka ba sa makati sir?”
