OUTRAGE

The world is calling

Though it is falling.

Now I am seeing

Who's the one killing.

Soon we'll know

and we won't grow,

The things we throw,

Will pull as low.

The tick of the clock

And the moving rock,

Together we flock,

With vicious fuck.

No one sees,

No one hears,

No one claims,

No one believes.

You accept deceit,

Now you wanna quit

Down there in a pit.

Outrageous isn't it?

The (Open) Hide-out

Everyday after class, my friends and I always spend an hour or more staying in a sari-sari store near our school. We share experiences and laugh and criticize each other's jokes. Those times that we almost roll in the street, laughing, we are creating something irrevocable.

When the rain pours heavily or we are called by hunger, this place always embrace us in a way that it is surrendering to the fact that our friendship is already owning this place.

Our friendship is something unexpected after navigating from high school memories. We are like leaves departed from a tree and brought by the wind into a better land.

Every time we came together in this place, we bind ourselves stronger and closer. We'll laugh too loud, we'll sing  and dance and we never really care about other people's judgement. I never thought that this open space would eventually bring-out the best moment of our friendship.

Will You Do Me A Favor?

Dominique Ng

It's almost two years since we realize we are inlove with each other. Do you know what its like? For me, its like you’re finding the key to my heart and then finally you’ve found it but you did not open it right away. Instead, you've memorized the shape and every broken pieces of my heart so you  will know how would you fit in it.

The first year of our relationship had been a tough one. I know I haven’t given you much attention and I’m sorry for that. I should have done better.  But now, at this very moment, I know I cannot move even a little step away from you anymore. I am overwhelmed by the love that you have given me.

My love, our love has grown deeper and I pray I know how to swim so I won’t drown but I know you’ll swim with me so take my hand and let us take this journey together. Our love is the truest and purest thing I could ever imagine. No matter how far this love will take us, I swear, your name will resound silently forever in my haert and in my soul.

You have no idea how much I’ve been happy. I never thought that this hapiness and contentment exist. You are the only one that I will offer my love to.

Your hands are the only hands that I am longing to touch.

Your face is the only face that I want to familiarize.

Your voice is the only voice that I want to recognize.

I love you so much. Its true and I mean it. But I have only one favor for you. Will you stay with me forever? Please.
