there are numerous options, two and few valid. the clock is ticking and no one bothers to ask why you can still hear the monotonous black and white picture of the scene—the lead sitting in front of his closed television while staring at the clock, beside him is the phone wanting patiently to be touched. this picture does not move nor changes its angle, an experimental film perhaps? no, this is real. the black and white picture, the man, the television casting the reflection of the man staring at the tickling clock, the monotonous sound of the clock, and the shadows every subject creates—dark and light shadows are all real. not a dream like most people tells, or writes, but a true story based from a true story.
nakapagtataka lang na habang tayo'y tumatanda, tila natututong mag-math ang ating buhay. noo'y addition lang ang alam, ngunit ngayo'y multiply na--multiplication ng mga kaaway, at malamang, mga naiinis sa inyong bida ngayon. (bida ako ngayon, maaaring ikaw rin, subukan mong mgpatuloy magbasa) multiplication na rin ng mga kaibigan. sa pagtanda nga naman ng tao, lalong nagiging komplikado. maraming twists, maraming turns, minsa'y mabilis, minsa'y mabagal, iikot, babaluktot, ngunit kailangan mong bumalik sa tamang daan. (narito ko) mas masarap talaga kapag bata pa. pagkain lang ang problema, at isang iyak lang ay nariyan na ang suso sa bibig--may pagkain na siya.
