Just a thought.

Havaianas are ubiquituous in UP. When something is ubiquituous then it is taken for granted. We do not love the things we take for granted. Therefore we do not love havaianas in UP.

(Hindi pwedeng sabihin na ‘i love my havs in UP’).

Now It’s Time To Say Goodnight

     Goodnight is such a lovely word. Either it is really sad or romantic. In any case, it is really meaningful. No wonder you are all fans of that song by Hale.

     Goodnight always has a context, both for reasons why it was said and how it is to be interpreted. It always means much for me, whether I were the one who sent it or I were on the receiving end. Goodnight is very very meaningful. Have I said it already?

      I send a special (for me, at least) goodnight message to someone, almost too religiously. Well, well, even if the world is already dead by 2 am. Whereas a good morning evokes a plain greeting that means ‘we must happily face the new day’, goodnight is usually a message sent out of remembrance, out of concern, out of last waking thoughts. Besides, goodnight packs a very powerful message in just a single word.

     I send goodnight because I mean it. Goodnight, goodnight, sleeptight, sweet dreams, a peaceful regenerative sleep. Goodnight, you are on my mind before I close my eyes, goodnight because you were in my prayers, goodnight because I am hoping that you will have peace, goodnight because you deserve my simple way of saying, ‘it must be love.’

    Goodnight because I am thinking of you.
