Just another blog entry.

For Allison. I hope you can read between the lines. Do you remember when we talked about some files? This file was not yet touched. I do recall that we already had a brief discussion about this but it was not yet considered a file then. Good luck on deciphering this post, transparent na nga yata eh.

The world I live in is not perfect, although most people may see it as the opposite. It is way too different of what’s obvious right now and what I’ve already told you then. And I am telling you that it is still broken.

The file remained hidden and locked for some years. It was concealed within the deepest and darkest box of secrets. And the key to that box is missing until yesterday. I already forgot about the box but to my surprise, I found the key once again. I opened the box and the files were there and one file shone the brightest. I tried to touch it, knowing that it would not harm me anymore. I thought I’d get used to it but NO. It still has an impact. It will always have an impact on me. It wanted to burn me alive but I managed to let go of it before it could damage me. Even if I let go of it, it doesn’t mean that it is over. It will haunt me from yesterday and for the next years to come; or for the rest of my life. This file is one of the major reasons why the box is full of secrets. It represents the first piece in the upended dominoes, wherein once you moved/touched it, it will cause the other pieces to fall.

Would it remain hidden from you for the next few days? Weeks? Months? Years? We don’t know. It will be revealed sooner or later. Or maybe it will remain in the ground like roots that are meant to be unseen. HAHA. Teaser much? I’ll be able to share it when I already have the courage to tell. Well, time flies. Tomorrow seems to be relative nowadays.


Title/Hint: (4 words)

Seen in last paragraph: Brand of bags.

Of.

Seen in third paragraph: Find Dexter’s sister (Dexter’s lab) and add -d to the second word.

Seen in second paragraph but start counting in the first paragraph: 7-11 (S-W).

 

Tell me if it’s too obvious. I might delete this post if you already know the answer.

"We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox."

"You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your creative muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories – science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world."

"There’s a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother’s story, because hers is where yours begin."
