The Moment

I was watching an episode of Proposal Daisakusen (because there's nobody to eat with but the LCD screen) and it's so full of 'is this the moment?' scene. You know... the one that says, "it has to be the right moment. The fireworks. The signs. The people around (or their absence). Everything." In the end, the realization was... 14 years were wasted without being able to 'say it' because he was waiting for that perfect moment. But how do you really know it's THE moment?

As Inay and I were discussing... don't let it pass you by.

Every single time of togetherness is THE moment. The heck with flowers. Moreso, whatever it is you're wearing or eating or holding or doing... just say it... right there... out loud! Pakealam nila. 'Coz there's nothing wrong with it at all. Imagine if everybody can be like this. How many what-ifs would be answered? How many confused hearts would be relieved? Maybe world peace would be even closer to reality at that!

Because the more people there are who show love, the more people can feel loved. And then... more people can be inspired with this love-in-the-air so, more people will love! Hahaha!

All the world needs now
Is love, sweet love


I remember asking Sir Jope before in our Philo class, "Sir, paano nyo po malalaman kung kairos na?" (How will you know if it's kairos (already)?)

Paano ko po malalaman kung aletheia na nga yung nakita ko? (How will I know if what I see is aletheia?)

Man! Parang Eureka moment lang yan. (It's just like a Eureka moment.) Even if you're in the tub, jump out of it and jot down the idea! Else, you might lose it (the short-term memory problems that we humans have, damn).

And just like everything else, you will never know anything about it if you never tried it. Just open the box, and it will reveal itself to you. Although, yes, it takes some effort to choose to open that box.

Sometimes it's just too flashy. Too delicate, you just want to display it. You just want to look at it.

Sometimes, you're just too scared to know what's inside. Maybe it's not what you expect it to be. You're unsure of what it can do to you or mean for you.

Sometimes, you're just lazy. Too lazy to even exert a little bit of effort. Or perhaps, you're just too proud to do it yourself. You want the box to open by itself.

Sometimes, you think that the box has always been just there. And that you have all the time in the world to open it. That it will never be gone from your sight. (What if somebody else sees it and notices that nobody owns it 'coz you never showed interest in it anyway?)

Sometimes too... the box is too far for you to reach. That even if how hard you try, you cannot get a hold of it (This is a different case, although, the mere fact that you reached out is worth it already. The rest is up to the future happenings. Who knows, an earthquake might bring the box closer to you. Hahaha!).

Sometimes, there are too many boxes.

Sometimes, the box is covered by other stuffs.

Sometimes, there is no box.

Is it possible that there is no box at all?

No way.

Everybody has a box.



Open it the moment you find yours.
