Nothing Like the Present

as i walked into the room full of people
my heart raced and my hands were shaking
there was a multitude of faces, each of them strange and unfamiliar
save for three people, i knew no one

ricky was there, and was so kind to give me a quick tour of the place
and acquaint me with some people
and then, i started to hear music
tapos pumasok na uli kami
wow! "parang concert naman to", i thought
praise and worship pala ang tawag don
ang powerful nun
i felt it, i felt the power, i felt God
it was wonderful
and yun lyrics ng songs, they hit a spot
moving talaga, nakaka-teary eyes nga eh
it was so fun
and yun speakers and pastors, they were so charismatic
may energy, di tulad nung mga lackluster priests ng catholics
ibang klase talaga
i never got bored in the duration
ganon talaga ka entertaining
i feel a change within me
nung natapos na, dj gave me a booklet called one2one
ricky's gonna help me daw next week
im so looking forward to next week
i love God
a cried nga kanina
hindi ko na nahold yun surge of emotions
thank you God, thanks dj and danielle, thanks ricky
and my deepest gratitude to the person who started it all, bea

ive a strong feeling that's this is gonna be a friday night habit
fridays cannot get any better than this

i think i badly need a drink
badly...
not that it's the worst two days of my entire life
but it wasn't.. err.. nice
one funny thing i notice
i seem to connect to God a whole lot easier and deeper when i'm drunk
when my head is spinning and i can hardly move
i close my eyes and talk to the Almighty One.. err.. Trinity.. err.. watever
everything becomes clear when im not
and everything becomes a mystery again when im back
after the longest time in the air
im finally dropping to my demise

im just gonna kneel here in front of you until you finally take pity on me and strike me with lightning

when the world is in peril
several people will step up to take the challenge

what if only my world is in peril?
what if im the only inhabitant in this secluded place?
do i have what it takes to face the challenge?

all the confusion
all the nothingness
then for a moment, a split second, a bright light
so cool and clear
and next second, darkness again
its neither light nor darkness
its chaos

why do i yearn to break off
when im already unchained
why do still feel trapped
when escape is but a step away

the winter season dims everything
the summer brings fierce heat
where do i come in?
is there a season for me?
where its freezing and hot?

never settle for something less
never get stuck somewhere in between
either stay on the ground or shoot for the stars

but...
what if i miss?
then go shoot again
wont i run out of arrows?
no, not until your last breath
