A Few Good Months

A few months from now, things would have changed. I would have already settled in, in a place far away where oats are considered staple and sandwiches are lunch. I would have already furnished my own apartment, hopefully, with a fireplace and a balcony. It would be cold where I am by then and I would probably be gearing up for the holidays. A few months from now, things would be different. And I, I would still be Tristan, only better.

A few months from now, I would have probably acquired a different taste in food, recreation and even men. I would have already changed my hairstyle, my clothes and my accent. I would have changed my life so much that I would not even recognize how much I have changed. I might also have a new set of friends by then and my values would have probably evolved into something less conservative. By that time, my determination to succeed would be much greater for I would have already found out that life could only get better. But I, I would still be Tristan, only happier.

A few months from now, things would already be different and our recent choices would have already defined who we are. A few months from now, I would still be Tristan, only better and you, you will remember...

"Forever and always, a promise."

Rain Darwin said...

mahirap ang buhay sa ibang bansa. Masarap pa rin dito sa Pinas.

Pero kung may tinatakasan kang alaala sa pinas, eh tama sa states ka mag move on hehehe.

Bon voyage.

Tristan Tan said...

@Herbs of course.

@Jamir I will be here.

@Mr. A to Z Nothing can make me leave. :)

@Frustrated Doctor Of course, you and you* can always have the couch, patong na lang ah sayang ang space. :P

@Rain Darwin Isang maintrigang comment galing sa yo. At ang sagot ko, "no comment." LOL.

john stanley said...

Wag kang tumigil kabablog ha at ikaw lang ang pinagaksayahan ko ng panahong commentan. Ay meron palang iba... pero konti lang. Nagcomment din ako kay "Backinthe" at sa away ni wandering at dabo.

Wala akong sariling blog, kaya nakikiumit lang ako sa blog ng may blog. Kahit naman siguro gumawa ako ng sariling blog di ko rin maaasikaso yun.

Parang ikaw yung pumukaw ng natutulog ko fountain pen ever. Choz. One day kahit anonymous ako ng anonymous, malalaman mo agad na ako ang anonymous na yun kase mapa-Ingles o Tagalog, merong signature yung style ko.

Pag may oras cocomentan ko lagi ang mga post mo, kahit wala akong masabing malaman, may masabi lang.

Nahook mo ako dun sa "THAT state university"... may konek agad.

Wala lang magawa, kaya pagpasensyahan mo na ang mga kahunghangang pinagkoko-comment ko dito.

Pag offensive, infuriating or downright dumb, 'yaan mo na. Hindi mo naman ako kilala at wala din naman akong balak magpakilala hehehe. Sigurado akong yung mga kilala mo hindi din ako kialala.

At wag isipin na kaya ko pinagdidiinan ang "hindi kilala" ay because kilala mo nga ako at nagpapanggap lang.

Ang gulo, di ba?

Tristan Tan said...

@john stanley a few months from now, I'll be having coffee in New York. :D

@Mr.Scheez Don't worry. I'll still be here.

@Entongalon ginawa mo naman akong dyosa... hehe

@Gillboard hey man, have I told you I like your blog? Anyway busy pa ko so nde ko pa nauupdate ang links ko. Thanks for dropping by and don't worry, madami pa. :P

Tristan Tan said...

At para sa yo @Anonymous, isang special na response na parang buko pie lang. I tried to write this in Filipino but I had a difficult time expressing myself - it does not help that I am jologs by heart pero susubukan ko pa din.

Thanks for reading my posts and for taking the time to blog on my blog. This is much appreciated, really. Ikaw nga ata ang isa sa mga masisipag magsulat ng mahahabang comment dito. Pero alam mo, sometimes, I feel the need to revisit the things that I have written because I know someone of your"caliber" would be reading this. In other words, may tirador ako dito. Nakakahiya naman and besides I refuse to be disowned every quarter - I only spent 16 quarters in THAT State U babawasan mo pa. :)

Oh and speaking of THAT State U, whenever I travel (and meet other Pinoys abroad) and I would later learn that they are also from THAT State U, tapos na ang usapan. Kaibigan ko na sila - the intellectual connection is very hard to miss so I understand where you're coming from. Birds of the same feather are the same birds.

Lastly, if and when the time comes that you feel the need to introduce yourself, please do so. Sabi nga ng nakararami, ang ganda ko. LOL. Sayang naman ang buhay mo if you won't get to know me. Tsk Tsk Tsk. I would be more than happy to get to know you.

Cheers, Tristan

hindi man kita personally, parang kalahati na ata ng life story mo alam ko. hehehe! one fourth dahil sa blog, one fourth dahil sa isang tao. hahaha! kilala mo na yun.

sa pag alis mo, mag iingat ka, susulat ka palagi (sa blog mo) at higit sa lahat, size 10 ako ha?1 hahaha...


i love you anonymous!!!

Tristan Tan said...

@wanderingcommuter size 10, ang laki mo pala... hehehe. :)

Allan said...

tutuloy ka na pala, T. yehey! ehehehe.

lam mo may nabuo akong istorya para sa'yo. kaso pang-comment sya e. may past post ka na tamang-tama sana siya, kaso lumipas na yung timing e. (naging bawal kasi sa provider namin the last few days ang Blogspot. panalo!) kaya sa susunod na lang. ehehe.

btw, i still have some things in mind na gustong sabihin sa'yo. pero tsaka na, kapag nasa US ka na. nyuknyuk!

(sori, baka naninibago ka, mejo makulet lang ako ngayon)
