The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side Novels & Stories

Tahimik na binabagtas nila Seiri, Polly, Matuk at Iksum ang daan patungong portal. Nagkakatinginan sila Polly at Seiri habang naglalakad, bakas ang labis na pagkamangha sa mga nakikita sa paligid. Matataas ang mga puno at malalaki ang katawan. Nakamamangha na ang nilalakaran nila ay hindi masukal at para silang nasa parke na sinadyang ayusan na parang nasa fairy land. Mabango din ang amoy ng paligid na pinaghalong mint at floral. Iba-iba ang kulay ng mga bulaklak na nadaraanan nila.

Kinuha ko ang highlighter at nag-simulang lagyan ng kulay ang simpleng salita na may nakatagong matingkad na kulay. "People come, people go- they'll drift in and out of your life, almost like a character in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the character have told their story and you start up again with an other book, complete with new characters and adventures" (Words not mine, I just did find it in some kind of great book, full credits to the rightful owner.) Yeah, people come and people go. How funny and realistic this kind of words from the book I am reading.

Ang ilaw na kailanman hindi natamasa ng lahat. Maiilawan na ang Grass. Maiilawan ang lahat. Makikita nila ang pagbabago. Pink couds engulf over Maharlika. No more Embassy. No more Mahar people domination. They've retreated. We can see the green and gray and silver and every color in the brush, the earth appearing only beneath and between the growth. Go. Grow. Glow. We can make them go. We can make the rice grain grow again. And the entire nation to Glow.

Lahat ata ng mga desisyon at ginagawa ko ay hindi para sa sarili ko kundi para sa iba. Akala ko magiging okay na, e. Siguro iyong pamilya ko, oo, pero ako? Hindi talaga. Moving to the greener pasture for a better future didn't guarantee me a chance to live the life I always dreamed of. This beautiful and progressive place never made me feel any better. It made me feel even worse.

"Sige na madali na tayo baka di natin maabutan ang sunrise. Pero sure ka talaga na kaya mo na maglakad sa bukid." "Well kanina ay dadalawang isip pa ko pero ngayon... nakakahiya naman sa katapangan mo ano?" Nagkatawanan ang dalawa at humayo na para nga naman maabutan ang sunrise. At habang naglalakad may nakasabayan at ito'y walang iba kundi si Alexander. May nakasukbit ditong gitara at ang gwapo nitong mukha ay duguan pa. Ngumiti ito ng makita sila ni Theresa.

Matapos magsalita ay may nag-abot kaagad sa kanya ng isang basong tubig, at buong pasasalamat niyang tinanggap iyon nang hindi nag-iisip ng kung ano-ano pa. "So, this money-loving -red apple- married into the rich -green banana-, but the red apple soon realizes that there is a -rotten green papaya- who will come to replace the red apple, take the red apple body, red apple identity, red apple money, and win the hearts of many people around the red apple, and last but not least, the green banana will finally like the red apple who is actually the green papaya?" "Hmm..yes." "What bloody story is this, red apple, green banana, rotten green papaya, in what ever names you've given them?"

out of the boundaries. And out of the boundaries means a lot of possibilities.. A lot of experience...and probably a lot of pain. But i will never know ..unless i already know what place will give me satisfaction. The grass on the inside or the grass outside.
