For an Angel @ 12:25 AM
Dear Angel,
It was a sat afternoon. The sun was shining brightly and the birds were chirping merrily. I just reached the mall after travelling back from the hostel. Hungry, I decided to grab a bite.
I found myself walking towards the pasta shop. So I grabbed a seat and ordered my regular pasta. Creamy chicken, Upsized. The waiter served the food promptly. The aroma of the dish drifted to my nose. I inhaled deeply and memories flooded me.
Suddenly it occurred to me that the last time I sat in a similar outlet was sometime in february. I was still with the Force, stuck in camp while a friend left me. I couldn't be there for patriotic reasons.
It struck me that the friend would have been where I am now, like all the rest around me. This would have been an experience that the friend would not have known. My mind was full of what-ifs. The questions ran through my head over and over, as I sat there eating my meal in silence, paying my respects in solitude.
It has been a good six months hasn't it?
I am very thankful and appreciative for what I have experienced so far. Life has been good and fair to me. I promise to be the best that I can be and do good in the place of that friend to the best of my capacity.
God bless you.
May you rest in peace.

Thinking @ 8:44 PM
I am a full blooded man and I desire
Take me and embrace me
While you still can and I the willing
My lover, my abode
- To Ms Huang
We know that we all will die
But despite knowing
I know our love will go on
Tried and tried by the passages of time
- To Snl
Each one of them
Is a painting in a frame
Hung up in the galleries of Heart
Mine and mine alone.
- To Qx
Run and hide we might
But we all smell the same
For we were all born and bred here
All chips off the block
- To My Sister
Just to put things in perspective for myself. I really missed those times; the conversations, the idiocy, the shared food and of course the insults. I like you guys and I wish you all the best. Amigos Para Siempre
