Life starts at 24

July 15,2010

Few minutes before twelve, i sip a mouthfull of melting grape flavored slushy inside 711 while patiently checking out the time and  anxiously waiting for texts messages to arrive. I absent mindedly began to contemplate and reflect on the things that happened last year, well obviously a lot of things happened last year but i just shook my head and demurely smile as franchie a good friend of mine asks me “what are you smilling for? Twelve na! Your 24, happy birthday!” and i replied “wala lang... thanks fran, yey im twenty four na!” showing a bitter sweet smile and she asked “so how does it feel? The first few seconds of your life as 24?” i said “well same feeling that got when i turned 23 last year”. And thats when it hit me, last year few days before july 16, i was sooo caught up in making plans bout how my birthday  and how i should spend my last day as a 22 year old, because in my mind the age 23 is the age where i should be moving on to the realm of adulthood, i know its lil bit late but i guess i just enjoyed myself being unadult like for too long, that i never prepared myself for the worst. So just as i feared my last year’s birthday was a disaster... i woke up finding my dog dead in my front yard which basically ruined the whole mood of birthday spirit and if it wasnt bad enough the lights was out the whole day, it was raining and i was very very depressed. So i came up with the conclussion that this year i should not be making plans and just enjoy the rest of the day and find a new dog. So i decided to write a journal about the things thats going on in my life and even few things that happened in my life. I'm Heartless lopez and i  just turned 24 few minutes ago, 5’9 in hieght but not proportional, i write songs but i dont know how to get it out there, i design clothes well more like destroy then put it all back together, i am a really good cook in my mind and tastebuds but friends and love ones are kind enough to lie to me and agree with me, i draw, paint and even dream of modelling, a simple probinsyano with dreams and well just dreams hehehehe..... well thats all about me for now.
