May I appeal to you for your help. Financial help... For my weekly therapy.

AIR OF "NOTHINGNESS"

AIR OF "NOTHINGNESS"

Once, I thought I was lost in the dark. Stumbling through the thick air of nothingness; I would fall, again and again.

Never able to find the light, I was trapped. My thoughts became monsters, hunting me down. It took some time for me to realize. I wasn’t lost in the darkness, as I had imagined for so long.

I was the dark, simply lost within myself. That was the moment that I not only turned on the light, I became the light.

COMPLICATED, RIGHT?

COMPLICATED, RIGHT?

You slipped out of my hands like water. Maybe it was because I am used to not having a grip over people and situations that I let go of you quickly, even when it hurt. But it did hurt. When things fall apart, you try to fix them. And you realise that no matter what you do, things won’t be the same again, what do you do then? After the realisation, I mean. I know that the ideal protagonist in books and movies finds a way to fix things no matter what. But are we really what the books were written about? Aren’t those characters just wishes in words? I may be wrong, but I may be right as well. In a population of 8 billion, I cannot really divide the probability 50–50. Funny right? We might have more warriors of love among us than we assume.

You ask me if I am one. I smile. In all my regrets is me. I wonder thoughtfully and wander mindlessly. People would reckon I have the world at my finger when I am hanging by a thread with one finger in reality. It is all right, though.

Because in all the situations that play one after the other in accordance to the domino effect, I wondered if there would come a time again when we fall in love with each other at the right time. If there does come that time, I hope it won’t be with you again. Complicated, right?

To simplify, we run out of love. I ran out of meaning. But maybe in another life, right, soulmate?

Hike in Atok tourist arrivals bared

January 2, 2023 in Tourism, travel and Events

ATOK, Benguet – The municipal government is elated on the reported continuous increase in tourist arrivals in the municipality following the drastic drop in temperatures that serves as one of the major attractions preferred by visitors frequenting the upland Benguet town.

Mayor Franklin L. Smith claimed that from the previous 100 to 300 tourists visiting the various tourist destinations in the municipality over the past several months, the number significantly increased to some 300 to 500 visitors daily which is a good sign that the local tourism industry is gradually and safely recovering from the heavy impact inflicted by the COVID-9 pandemic to the global economy.

For the past several days, the lowest temperature in the municipality stayed at a single digit, from 7 to 9 degrees Celsius, following the decline in the prevailing temperature in Baguio city that enticed more people to visit the place and enjoy the chilly morning weather.

MINING WASTE DISPOSAL — Heavy equipment of the Itogon-Suyoc Resources Inc. at Barangay Poblacion, Itogon, Benguet double time to dispose mine waste aggregates on the sloping side of the mining company’s tailings storage facility. Residents said they noticed violations of mining and environmental laws and have reported to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Cordillera citing “Impermissible disposal of mining waste and incidents of animal and fish kills” along rivers. They said great concern goes into the overall stability of the dam as procedures and mining laws appears to have been ignored. — March David Fianza

CROSSING LA TRINIDAD — As a way to lessen traffic at the bottleneck areas in La Trinidad, Benguet, the local police station recommended the put up of overpasses at the Capitol at Km. 6, Km. 5 crossing, and at the Km. 4 crossways where the big shopping centers are located in the valley. Here, residents converge at the Km. 5 crossing pending the establishment of the overpasses, which was earlier started by the Department of Public Works and Highways with the presence of big pole foundations at the site. — Ofelia Empian
