Reincarnated
Im alive! :)
Ive isolated myself from the world for the past 2 weeks (well, it was more like, the world isolated itself from me).
It was nice to have spent time with someone I've lost touch with.
Myself.

I got to think, think, and think even more till my brain hurt.
And finally, all that thinking paid off, and like what Jo mentioned, I am now "gratis". (Did I use the word right? Lol.)

Free at last.
From all worries, fears, throbs, lies, pretentions and inhibitions.

People have been asking me, "What's been happening to you lately?"
It's like being asked, "Wazzup/Watsup/Wassap?"
I'd usually answer stuff like, "Nothin' much...The sky...or Wala lang" but recently, I think I've come up with the correct-est answer to that question.

The next time someone asks me again, I'd have to answer:
"Life. Life's been happening to me."
