And after all you’re not my wonderwall

The only thing worth regretting is that I let myself fall for you. I let myself get attached to someone who will never see me the way I see him. I let myself fall for a guy I thought my wonderwall.

We were once so close to each other to the point of sharing even our most kept secrets. We used to go to school together. Eat lunch together. Go to the nearby music store without even bringing any single dime. We used to laugh at things we always find silly. We always talk about our future together. But now everything is just so different. And I can do nothing but to let go. 

Do you still remember how we became friends? How you stole glances at me when we were left in the school library. Our classmates have already gone and we had all the room to ourselves. I was browsing books about Archaeology and there you were, waiting patiently for the rain to stop, You were listening to Wonderwall and randomly asked me if I know Oasis. I undoubtedly exclaimed yes and even told you that I like Noel more than Liam, You also agreed that Noel is cooler than his brother. From then on I came to realize that maybe we both like him because although it may sound silly but perhaps our hearts beat the same. We also talked about Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys and even Norah Jones. We were laughing so hard because out of the blue you cracked a very sick joke. We were reprimanded by the librarian so we just decided to leave.

From that point in time I started having a crush on you. You always tease me every lunch saying that I am starting to gain weight where in fact I am almost skinny. Every day, I look forward to lunchtime because I get to be with you.

Although we were only classmates in one subject, I am still happy because you always choose to sit next to me. There are countless of times that I caught you staring at me, well at those moments I was trying my hardest not to blush. you constantly help me with my home works esp. in Math because you knew how terrible I am with numbers.

You always ask me if I am okay when days are rough. You patiently wait for me so we could walk home together. When I am not in the mood to go to school, you are always at my side, getting lost to places we’ve set our foot on for the very first time. Do you still recall that time when we parked your car at the wrong area and the traffic enforcer asked for your driver’s licence? I was praying so hard that time since I don’t want to get involved in a trouble. Also, that time where we went to a bar and out of nowhere you went on stage and sang “Everlong”. While you were collecting the lyrics, I could feel the weight of your stare on me. I want to shy away the idea of you liking me but i just do not know how to. Every single day that I am with you, it feels like  my feelings go deeper. And the more we became close to each other the more that I want to spend my lifetime with you. 

But now, everything is just so different. It’s like all those happy moments were just dreams. Lucid ones. I am still puzzled about what had happened. There are many things that i’d like to ask but I resort to just keep my mouth mum. You have no idea how it aches me each time we crossed paths in the hallway. How I am trying with all my little might to smile or to just say hi despite you sporting a cold grimace. How you captured my heart and just thorn it into pieces. How I am trying not to give a damn about my feelings for you anymore. How I am trying to act like everything's ok. Like everything is just fine. That nothing happened between the two of us. How I’m trying to cover my pain with smiles every time I am with my girl friends. How I cry and breakdown in the middle of the night remembering all the times we’ve shared under the moonlight.

Only one thing is for sure now. That you are not my wonderwall. You are not the one who will save me with all the storms you’ve caused me. You are not the one who will be there when I needed saving. 

And now I have to walk this winding road of moving all alone. I have to be my own hero. Or maybe my wonderwall is myself. Coz afterall, you are not my wonderwall.

Clarity. Peace. Serenity. So what the ocean taught me is to stay still despite all the waves, and currents. Now down to my last post for this sojourn (probably this is the last na tlga ✌) Sorry for posting too much of it. Ain't bragging. Just wanna inspire others to also explore, discover, and learn more. Truly, Mother Nature's beauty is ethereal. Thanks to my fellow island hoppers for this XP. Can't wait to see more of you Las Islas Filipinas. Sea you again. 💕⚓🌊 #whatawonderfulworld #coeurdelion

So you say you wanna get away. But darling we don't need a plane. I could be your escape. 💕

In my element. 🌊⚓

[lizzieintheskywith16diamonds]

Please. Just allow me to love you. Just allow me to stay with you even for just a minute . Allow me to feel like I am the one made to hold your hands forever. I am not begging you to love me back. Please, I just want you to tolerate these lucid dreams. Please. Please.

Space & Time (Movies I’ve watched recently)

Space and time. Fate and chance. Theses are the forces of the universe.

- The Illutionist

So there’s just something magical about movies which themes include space and time, fate and chances. I remember watching this Filipino romance film entitled “Moments of Love” back in high school about two individuals from different timeline. This classic tale has since become my all time favorite. From then on, I kinda started to believe that there may be a slightest chance that the universe could somehow link two people who are worlds or years apart. HAHAHA! 

So here are some of the movies I have watched recently. Can you guess their common denominator? Lol.

IL MARE, 2000

Il Mare in Italian is “The Sea” which is also the title of this 2000 South Korean film that starred Jung Jae Li opposite Ji-Hyun Jun. The movie tells the story of Eun Joo, a radio actor, who lives in a seaside house called “Il Mare” in the year 1999. Before leaving, she placed a Christmas card in the mailbox asking the new owner of the house to forward her mails in her new address in the city. In the year 1997, Sung Hyun, an architect who happens to be the first owner of the house received Eun Joo’s message telling her that it is 1997 and not 1999. The two then perceived that they are separated by a span of two years. They then started to communicate with each other via letters put inside the mailbox. Thus begins a burgeoning romance about two lonely individuals separated by time but are still united by love.

“There are 3 things in life that you can’t conceal - cough, poverty and love.” 

The more you try to do so, the more apparent it becomes.

Kimi No Nawa, 2016

Kimi No Nawa translated in english as “Your Name” is a 2016 Japanese Animation and sci-fi film directed by Makoto Shinkai (5 centimetres per second). The film is based on the novel of the same name also written by Shinkai. The story begins with a high school girl Mitsuha Miyamizu, who is fed up with her life in the coutryside (she live is the town of Itomori) and dreams of becoming a Tokyo boy in her afterlife. Then there goes Taki Tachibana, a city boy in Tokyo who works as a part timer in an Intalian Restaurant. One day, Mitsuha had dreams of becoming a boy and Taki also had the same dreams of becoming a girl. The two are intertwined through their dreams despite the fact that they haven’t met each other yet.

“That day when the stars came falling. It's almost as if a scene from a dream. Nothing more, nothing less than a beautiful view.”

DITTO, 2000

Ditto is a South Korean film that revolves around the story of two University students--So Eun and Ji In who came from the same school but different year.. So Eun is from the year 1997 and Ji In is from 2000. The two were able to communicate with each other through a HAM Radio. Although, I don’t consider this as a romantic film, the story focuses on how destiny dictates the life of every individual on earth. 

“As you told me, I wanted to find out if he was my destination. But I didn't think it was right. So I let go of him from my heart. And I walked for a long time.  “

PATEMA INVERTED, 2013

Sakasama No Patema is a 2013 Japanese sci-fi film by Yasuhiro Yoshiura about two kids separated by the opposite gravity of their worlds.  The story is set in the year 2067.  Patema, a plucky girl from an underground civilization found herself trapped in an inverted world. She befriended a boy named Age who lives in the surface world. Age helped Patema to return to her home but what’s surprising is that the two discovered about the secret behind each other’s worlds. If you love the movie Upside Down this movie is a thumbs uo p for you. 

“We opened up to each other, and tried to be familiar with each other’s worlds”

Everything you said means nothing to me now. Nothing but utter bullsht. I used to admire you a lot. I always think of you as someone whom I could look up to. Someone I thought a living a proof that real men still exist. That chivalry is still not dead. But now, things have changed. You suddenly turned into a beast who was once a Prince Charming. You were an archetype of the wicked stepmother who knows nothing but to torment the princess in me. Oh well, maybe I am a fooled princess to believe such obvious lies.

Oh no guys! This is not in Thailand lol but to some extent it looks like one of those photos in the famous floating market lol.

This is what happens after a whole day of intermittent downpour in the quiet brgy of San Agustin in the town of Candaba, Pampanga, Philippines.

Most of the people here are used to this kind of scenario and are still happy despite the chocolate colored water engulfing the whole area.

For them, flood water, translated in Filipino as “baha” or “albug” in the Kapampangan language is actually a blessing in disguise.

Half of the people in this area are fishermen. Having a boat is a must have for them so they could travel from one spot to another. Also, the houses are nipa hut styled although some have second floors.

At a young age, children are thrown into the flood water so they could learn how to swim by themselves (sounds scary haha!)

I remember when I was in the 5th grade, I paid my friend a visit in their house surrounded by flood water. In order for me to get to their humble abode, I needed to ride on a wooden boat first. The experience was totally exciting since that was the very first time that I experienced riding on a boat. I even paddled for a short while, just some sort of XP. Hehe!

The floodwater may be a pain in the ass but to some people it is a grace, a tradition, and a family member.

10-20-16 A Day for a Couch Potato

It’s a NO SCHOOL DAY today since the government suspended the classes in all levels due to typhoon Haima. (Sending prayers to those in the path of the storm. God be with us 🙏)

And since it rained the whole day, I was left with no choice but to stay indoors (but I am at home most of the time) and watched two tearjerking films, Patema Inverted- a 2013 Japanese Anime Film; and Ditto- a 2000 South Korean drama flick. I have always loved staying idle on a rainy afternoon, couch potato-ing.

So to be honest, my real plan was to finish all my paperworks but decided not to (at the last minute) because the gddmn weather just didnt allow me to. Haha. And I was not really in the mood to read lengthy essays. Perhaps I’ll just finish checking them before the week ends.

B A B Y E! 👋

Little things that give delight!

Hi everyone! So a couple of weeks ago, I decided to make another Instagram account intended for the things that warm my heart. I am not totally into photography because I am not quite at good at taking photographs. Haha! I am only a sucker for crazy selfies and lengthy panorama shots lol. So here are some of my good shots I guess. Lol. Pls forgive me for posting them. I said it earlier, I am still a novice and still finding my way in the industry hehe! >,

By the way, you can follow me on IG  @lizziealmighty. For my personal account, follow @analizaalonzo A R I G A T O U!

PHOTOGRAPHY ONE OH ONE!

[lizzieintheskywith16diamonds]

Hey, I'm (still) into you ♥

2 minutes before the clock strikes 12. A deafening silence envelopes the entire room. I lie on the bed. Faced the ceiling. I couldn’t help but to think of you. Of us perhaps. It has been years since I met you. Since we became close to each other. And from that very day, I knew exactly what I feel for you. From the very first time I set my gaze on you I knew that I like you. But I didn’t let you notice it. For I know you are already smitten to someone. So I just brushed off the idea of having “you and me” coz yes I know there will never be an us. There will never be sunsets with you. No long drives with you. Although there were a few times where I felt like you also feel the same way too but oh no! Maybe you were just bored and just needed someone to talk to. Someone who is kind enough to listen to ur crazy tales. And of course since I like you, I tirelessly listened to those stories of yours. Just to be with you. Just to feel like I am worthy of your time.

I don’t know if I have to blame you for making me feel this way. There were moments where I couldn’t concentrate coz you always occupy a large spot not only in my mind but also in my heart. Although each time we talk I’m trying my hardest to stay normal so you wouldn’t notice. Well I hope u didn’t.

So up until now I still have no idea if what will happen to my feelings. Perhaps I’ll just let them fly like a balloon. Since I am not even certain if someone is willing to chase for it. I guess nobody is. Or I’ll just write them in a piece of paper put it inside a bottle and let it drift in the ocean. Hoping that someone will find it.

This love may be unrequited but still I just want to thank you for the times where I felt like I am yours. Thanks for making my world more colorful. Thanks for being part of it. Though we didnt end up with each other just want you to know that I am always here. Looking after you. Waiting for you (until I get tired maybe hehe). And still into you.
