HUWAG KANG MATAKOT
Eraserheads

Huwag kang matakot
'Di mo ba alam nandito lang ako
Sa iyong tabi
'Di kita pababayaan kailan man
At kung ikaw ay mahulog sa bangin
Ay sasaluhin kita

CHORUS:
Huwag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot

Huwag kang matakot
Dahil ang buhay mo'y walang katapusan
Makapangyarihan ang pag-ibig
Na hawak mo sa iyong kamay
Ikaw ang Diyos at hari ng iyong mundo
Matakot sila sa 'yo

CHORUS:
Huwag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot na magmukhang tanga
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot sa hindi mo pa makita
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot
Aahhhah

CHORUS:
Huwag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot

Huwag kang matakot (huwag kang matakot)
'Di kita pababayaan kailan man
(Repeat till fade)

Sigh... and people still ask me why i don't drive.

Well, actually I know I can. But after two intances of this happening, i'm kinda scared of hitting strike three.

My first victim was Ian, who despite his efforts of teaching me in an automatic car said I was already doing well, panicked when I tried to park his car behind the UP gym and went up the sidewalk at full speed instead. Good thing he had his hand on the hand break.

The second and more recent was ate who really thought we were gonna die this time. She let me drive our mazda to the mall nearby. I went through the small roads, pedestrians, tricycles and the high way pretty ok until we finally had to park. Yes, I stepped on the wrong pedal. Again. This time, it was the concrete marker that saved our lives. It would have been a mess seeing how i cracked the marker...

So to those who still ask - now you know. :P

Mom called me and said she finally brought out the hammock swing we got from Boracay last month. It's a pretty white knitted swing hung from a bamboo pole that still needs to be hung to another strong slab of wood using a rope. My mother dearest found a spot for the swing in the garden, installed it on one of the stronger frames of the trellis covering a corner.

MOM: "Ang ganda pero nakakatakot upuan, baka masyado kong mabigat."
SHERIE: "Ano ba ginamit mong pang kabit?"
MOM: "Yun." (pointing to a black strap, kinda like the ones we used for rapelling back in camp)
SHERIE: "Ah ok, kaso parang ang taas." (Mounts self on the swing while finding comfortable position) "O. Ok naman pala eh." (Starts swinging slowly)
MOM: "Baka mauntog ka sa aircon" (if you knew our house, you'd know where this is)
SHERIE: "Di, malayo naman eh." (continues swinging) "Sarap ah." (smiling)

Then for a moment it felt light. Too light.

BLAAAAAAAG

SHERIE: (on the ground) "Ooooouch..."
MOM: "Ay...Hindi nga pala kaya." (suppressing giggles) "Masakit ba?"
SHERIE: "Hindi ako makagalaw..."
MOM: "Buti nalang pala hindi ko tinry kanina."

Right now, I don't know which hurts more - my elbows, my back, my butt or my pride. :P

Gaaad i love my mother.
