It's been quite a while since I went to a videoke bar. A very good friend "J" invited me there. She passed her certification which is a call for celebration. And here I am, choosing to move on which is a cause of depression. BAM !
We sang our hearts out,filled our stomach and drank T-ice from 6:00 till 11:00 pm. We would stop every now and then and just ate dinner, talked about our day, mused over our failed relationships, bragged about our epic stories of winning affection and laughed at our heroic but dumb and never-to-do-again quest for love. When my eyes got moist, we would sing again and repeat the drill.
For our final song, I chose "Halaga" and J sang it. Every line suddenly made sense.
Umiiyak ka na naman
Langya talaga , wala ka bang ibang alam
Namumugtong mga mata
Kailan pa ba kaya ikaw magsasawa
Sa problema na iyong pinapasan
Hatid sayo ng boyfriend mong hindi mo maintindihan
May kwento kang pandrama na naman
Parang pang TV na walang katapusan
Hanggang kailan ka bang ganyan
Hindi mo ba alam na walang pupuntahan
Ang pagtiyaga mo dyan sa boyfriend mong tanga
Na wala nang ginagawa kundi ang paluhain ka
Chorus:
Sa libu-libong pagkakataon na tayoy nag-kasama
Iilang ulit palang kitang makitang masaya
Naiinis akong isipin na ginaganyan ka nya
Siguro ay hindi niya lang alam ang iyong
Tunay na halaga
Hindi na dapat pag-usapan pa
Nagpapagod na rin ako sa aking kakasalita
Hindi ka rin naman nakikinig
Kahit sobrang pagod na ang aking bibig
Sa mga payo kong di mo pinapansin
Akala moy nakikinig di rin naman tatanggapin
Ayoko nang isipin pa
Di ko alam bat di mo makayanan na iwanan sya
Ang dami-dami naman diyang iba
Wag kang mangangambang baka wala ka nang ibang Makita
Na lalake na magmamahal sayo
At hinding hindi nya sasayangin ang pag-ibig mo
Minsan hindi ko maintindihan
Parang ang buhay natin ay napagti-tripan
Medyo Malabo yata ang mundo
Binabasura ng iba ang siyay pinapangarap ko
I ended up singing with her, making a toss with our empty glasses, and berating at every fitting lines - just like two foolish people. I had fun and found temporary relief.
To J - Thank you for the 6-long years of constant understanding and persistent listening. Thank you for making yourself available just when I needed last minute meet up, midnight chats and endless drama.
I know I am finding it hard to appreciate my life now, but you - helping me get through this, is never unnoticed. Thank you for the friendship. Cheers!
