"a caterpillar doesn't just grow into a butterfly. a caterpillar must undergo metamorphosis, and a cocoon is where a caterpillar risks it all: enters total chaos, undergoes total rebuilding, and is born to a new way of living. only in taking the risk of entering that inert cocoon can the caterpillar go from dormancy to potency, from ugliness to beauty."

the little voice

when i woke up this morning, i checked my celphone for new text messages and found only one. still sleepy, i sent a reply and then went back under the covers to sleep but...

the litte voice: oist! oist!
me: shhh... go away.
the little voice: oist! wake up!
me: just go away! let me sleep. puhleez. i'm still sleepy.
the little voice: hey, the sun's already up. wake up! what a lazy kid you are.
me: imp! i'm not lazy. leave me alone! my brain's in such a disarray because of you.

of course, the little voice didn't leave me alone. instead...

the little voice: hahaha! you think you're so cool? you had a grammatical lapse there.
me: goodness! i can't believe i'm having this conversation... you're mental!
the little voice: yeah, i am. so what? you still made a mistake there.
me: be easy on me, will you? stop bugging me with merely thought up grammatical lapse.
the little voice: it's not thought up. you sent "i can't watched..." rememberrrrr?
me: oh, you mean the reply message. no, i did not! you're just desperate to get my attention. now, stop this and let me sleep.
the little voice: our friend's gonna laugh.
me: my friend's not gonna laugh. if indeed i made a mistake there...
the little voice: i told you, you made a mistake there.
me: oh, come on. if indeed you're right, a grammatical lapse IS NO BIG DEAL! get lost! i just wanna sleep.
the little voice: yeah right. fool yourself. it's no big deal, i agree.

what a nagging litte voice! i ended up throwing away the covers to send another text message, somewhat apologetic over something i'm not really sure i did. after that, little voice seemed to have found peace so i was able to go back to sleep and had a second trip to dreamland.

the little voice: hello! wake up now!
me: oh no! stop prancing... you're not supposed to be here. not in my dreams!
the little voice: does it matter? i'm here. what now? wake up!
me: you're really such an imp!
the little voice: whatever! you're an imp yourself! you ought to wake up now. it's already 10:30 in the morning. wake up! wake up!
me: so what if it's already 10:30? it's sunday! go away. stop bugging me!
the little voice: you've been ignoring me all week!
me: ...just doing the right thing, imp.
the little voice: how could you? i gave you all the space you needed. now that i'm back, tsk...
me: what are you? who are you? my schizo self???
the little voice: hahaha, who me? your schizo self? you're mental!
me: now, i'm the one who's mental! know what? now, i think you're my schizo self...
the little voice: funny, if you think that way. i'm loving this. i'm really loving this!
me: that's it! that's it! goodbye! i'm outta here. see? i'm waking up.
the little voice: hey wait! don't leave me here.

and so, i got rid nagging little voice just by waking up. well, that's what i thought... because after hours of her silence...

the little voice: really a slow day, isn't it?
me: oh no! not again!
the little voice: you ought to do some organizing.
me: shut up! i already know that!
the little voice: i really like you when you're pissed off like that. you look so... you? yes, you look soooo you.
me: who says i'm pissed off?! you're such an imp! you ought to be exorcised!
the little voice: hahaha, pikon... but i do mean it. you really should do some organizing today ...and tomorrow, too. tomorrow's a holiday, after all.
me: i said shut up! you're merely stealing my thoughts.
the little voice: be kind to me. i'm actually trying to help.
me: why don't you just go away?!
the little voice: have me excorcised first.
me: duh!
the little voice: see? you can't! what a weakling.
me: you're wrong! i can! and i'm not a weakling. so get lost, get lost!
the little voice: i won't! i can't. i know you'll miss me like you miss the ones before me.
me: what?! what do you mean by that???
the little voice: sssssssshhhhhhh.... look! the moon's so big tonight. it's nice to look at, isn't it? i know it's just a crescent now, but it really looks big. haaaay...

what a little voice!

  2. oh mai! i forgot we baptised you the little voice! my mistake. i should have called my own little voice the small voice. as for the gEEEmail request, i can grant you that. i'm gonna do the necessary changes on the previous "the caterpillar story" posts soon. =D

  5. aw, i wish i had a small/little voice of my own so it will remind of things i ought to do rather than just sitting staring at the horizon like a mental patient...
