Once Upon a Time
So this is how the story goes…
Each of our lives is a story. We are the authors and actors of or own stories, that we constantly weave everyday. Once upon a time, we saw the light of day for the first time, and our story began. Through the newborn fog we meet the cast of characters: first our parents and later our friends (and enemies). The characters gradually evolved as we meet one people to another.Some left us with lasting impressions that until now we still vividly remember how we came across with those persons. While others, they just became plain strangers. Later, we discover the setting, whether it be Manila or some foreign land. And each of us starts on a quest, for happiness and for meaning, for love and for pain. At times we travel along sunlit boulevards and sometimes we stumble into darkened back alleys. We even set our feet to filthy places. It doesn’t really matter where we travel, it’s the experience we get along the way that truly counts. And along that exciting journey, we find out who we are and what we’re made of. That journey isn’t fun most of the times.
There a lot of puzzles that we have to unravel and needless to say, there are even challenges that forced us to unleash our wild sides. Of course, there is romantic events to remind us that life is best shared with another soul. And on those process, we learn something, and we grow, and the more we grow — truth be told — the closer we approach the end of the story… or at least the end of this chapter. But my story, is not merely “a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
My story may sound ordinary; but it isn’t. Mine is an escapade of love, fantasy,sex,hatred,of fantasy and insanity, and a bunch of many other things rolled into a single fascinating saga. I am enjoying it. I’m trying to weave a masterpiece. I’m trying to live it to the fullest but I know at the end of my chapter, somewhere along the line, I might catch myself saying something like “And this is my so-called life.”
