“How are you, Migs?”

Migs Speaks Entry Feed Trackback

Friends ask, “How are you, Migs?” Some don’t even dare, perhaps assuming I need more time to recuperate, to muster enough energy to articulate how I am after my recent break up. Now, because I am bold enough, I dare ask myself, “How are you, Migs?”

I really don’t know how I am. I guess I’m okay, but I also believe that answer is the emptiest answer of all. Okay? What does okay mean? I attempt answering this question though, “Where are you now, Migs?”

That I can answer. Where am I? I am in a place which is neither here nor there, neither hot nor cold, where it is damp and humid, where it feels wet yet it is not; I am in a place where I do not want to be, yet I know in my heart, is a place where I need to be for some time, a limbo of sorts, a waiting area, an anteroom, leading to a place, no, a road, that’s happy and gay. But happy and gay has to wait, for where I am is a preamble to my heart’s readiness to feel what it is like to be whole again.

  2. i’ve been checking this site on and off for a while. it seems that you are always breaking up with someone. what gives? maybe it is just typical gay relationship. eventually, they always move on to someone newer and younger.

  3. Dear Migs,

    Sorry to hear about your break up. I know it is very painful. I could advise you with what to do based my experiences but the pain would still remain. My only wish is for you to learn how to cope up with the pain.

    All the best,
    Bong

  5. why do we experience pain and heartbreak? to prepare us for something else? or to realize that all things pass away? or putting it in another way, to appreciate happiness and love more because we experience the opposite? i don’t know! there are many questions in this world that i don’t have the answers. people like us are very vulnerable when it comes to the affairs of the heart and we start questioning even our own existence and the purpose of our very own life. one thing i am sure, we all have a purpose in this world. for you migs, you are an inspiration and a mirror to the thousands of gays out there. we laugh with you, cry with you, argue with you, admire your adventures and feel your pain. and as we go on with our own life and struggles, i do hope that you find not only your ‘beloved’ but also the meaning and purpose of your being ‘migs’. and i’m sure when that time comes, you will look back and smile and can now answer the questiom ‘how are you migs’ truthfully to yourself.

    Anna Nalick – Breathe (2 Am)
    2 AM and she calls me ’cause I’m still awake,
    “Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
    I don’t love him. Winter just wasn’t my season”
    Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
    Like they have any right at all to criticize,
    Hypocrites. You’re all here for the very same reason

    ‘Cause you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable
    And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
    No one can find the rewind button, girl.
    So cradle your head in your hands
    And breathe… just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe

    May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
    “Just a day” he said down to the flask in his fist,
    “Ain’t been sober, since maybe October of last year.”
    Here in town you can tell he’s been down for a while,
    But, my God, it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles,
    Wanna hold him. Maybe I’ll just sing about it.

    Cause you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable,
    And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table.
    No one can find the rewind button, boys,
    So cradle your head in your hands,
    And breathe… just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe

    There’s a light at each end of this tunnel,
    You shout ’cause you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
    And these mistakes you’ve made, you’ll just make them again
    If you only try turning around.

    2 AM and I’m still awake, writing a song
    If I get it all down on paper, it’s no longer inside of me,
    Threatening the life it belongs to
    And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
    Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
    And I know that you’ll use them, however you want to

    But you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable,
    And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
    No one can find the rewind button now
    Sing it if you understand.
    and breathe, just breathe
    Oh breathe, just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe.

  8. Migs,
    I love you.

  9. go on cry and feel the pain my friend
    for the man you once longed for is no longer there…..

    but once you’ve let it out, flip na ng hair… smile na at chant ka ng… “i’m byutipul ang im a bitch” ng paulit -ulit hehehehehe

    be well dear…..

  12. question: when ba nagstart tong last relationship ni migs? (curious)

    alembong at Jun 14, 09 at 10:32 pm

  13. migs, hop u’r alright. maybe u r not meant for each other. kami nga ng partner ko, we always ask each other kng kami ba talaga forver and ever kasi we r already 6 years and in a distant relationship. but we r still strong. we hold on and trust each other. though palagi, naiinis xa sa akin kasi makulit ako na baka may kasiping na xa hehe. my partner is my first love and will always be. i always pray na kami na talaga forever. baka sa yo rin migs, baka sa tabi mo lang ang yong love of your life.

    maniac at Jun 14, 09 at 11:44 pm

  18. Geez. I just found out now. It’ll be hard, I know… but you will be alright. Time heals all wounds. Alam mo naman, di ba? If you want to go for wine or coffee just text me.

    Mahaba-habang inuman ito. I wish you well my dear.
    Mwah.
