SHE GASPED for breath the minute she lifted her eyes from the page.Having read the paragraphs over and over, she sat there – motionless and impassive to the blow of words her meager, hapless nature could grab hold of – amidst the clattering of voices and the rousing laughter.
The words kept on haunting her.
From the spot at which she lay half-lifeless and benumbed, she sighed, wallowed in self-pity and a horrible kind of solitude. She drowned herself in a pool of tears which flow can’t seem to stop. She lost track of her identity and her cognizance completely covered with bouts of garbled angst and flummox of emotions.
Strangely similar to a repugnant misdeed owing to certain reasons, she wished the perpetrators got rid of the evidences and any physical reminder of the crime, flushed it down the toilet or buried it in her backyard.
How could SHE? How could he?
They murdered her one overcast February afternoon.
And she will never be the same again.
nota bene: She is still recuperating. Murderer whereabouts unknown. Accomplice whereabouts, probably reading this.
disclaimer: Writer was unaware that the title is same with the TV series that ran from the time she was born 'til '96.

nakows, sinaksak na nga!
wala akong kasalanan jan a. I was just thinking out loud when i suggested you saksak him with your red pen. i swear, i have nothing to do against this.
my goodness!
These women! They fall for you, then they stab you in the end!
* rushes away from the scene of the crime, zing! *
as usual, you left me completely awed... speechless at how you write and convey emotions like this.
btw, its not ur browser, its my page. im using SeaMonkey kasi, and it was fine viewing it there, yun pala, hindi everywhere else. hehe. thanks.
@ jun: she was murdered by some demigodess. hindi cya ung nagmurder.
@ pong: thanks for the compliment mommy! :)
I wouldn't deny that what was written was cruel. Such words are enough to even slay me.
How could he? I cannot speak up for him at this time. But if there's one thing he and I both agree on right now, it's how to stir alive someone who'd rather be dead.
* zing! rushes back to the scene of the crime *
Ahhh, okay (pretends he understood), i thought she was the one who made joblag.
Anyway, teka, let's do some deconstruction ha. Following the feminist construct, i think there is something wrong in the ideology of this piece.
The persona was projected as too passive (murdered? on a women's month?), submissive, wallows in self-pity and all.
I was expecting that it would be the other way around. And have I read it right a 3rd mujer and the hombre made joblag the persona? Eeeeeww.
But then again, ganito ka nga ba kendi?
*grabs kendi by her shoulder, and made uga-uga back and forth left and right up and down round and round*
anyway, as always, the form is so enticing. the skill, it's like a scalpel walking accross a delicate skin.
@ jae: sadly, you cannot bring the dead to life. but somehow, she believes and hopes on reincarnation.
however, hurt is hurt. and she is still hurt.
@ jun: passivity for certain reasons that if only you were able to read the murder masterpiece she wrote, you wouldn't even wanna wish you were alive.
murderer is a demigoddess, after all. so, kinda like "i praise thee and worship thee" yadiyadiyah hercules-wearing-a-girl's-skirt type.
but persona, though figuratively dead, shall march the aisle with red carpet and receive a rolled paper (or is it the same high-class parchment paper inserted in a velvety case that the med students receive?) where the word "graduate" will be written.

thanks for the shrug on the shoulder daddy jun... sure did wake her up from deep slumber. you remind me of the doctor in a movie who raises dead people back to life... hmmmm...
really... thanks... :)
you naman, you made sabi pa hanggang friendster itong uga-uga thingy, anyway, salat din sayo.
I can feel the emotions. Grabe. Ang bigat.
Galing. :)
hi kends!
you know what, i used to devour agatha christie back in high school wahehehehe (quick! do the math!). that certainly dates me huh???
kelan ka nagtext? naiwan ko kay karen ung fone. pinacourier ko na. kelan grad mo?
Her death rather is just a state of mind. We both know that.
ouch!such displays of emotions.. i felt like i was the one murdered here hehehe
BTW, i tagged you w/ a meme :-)
@ jun: hehe... ganyan tlga ako, i say thanks to people i think have helped me grow. :)
@ avrilata: indeed julz...
@ miki: agatha cristie jud? hehe. i checked her site, gosh! i don't wana compute numbers. hehe. pero thanks for the compliment. during my time, i devoured on Hardy Boys instead of Nancy Drew (though hindi murder series), it's the boys kc i think nancy is rather too "girly" for me. And so went on with Sidney Sheldon, James Patterson and many more. :)
@ jae: don't worry, she is alive and kicking. *hugs*
@ raine: woi, thanks ha.. will check it later. :)
