Two Women



Mt. Tapyas, Coron, Palawan - April 2004

I am two women trapped in one physical body:
one craves for all the joy, thrill, adventure and excitement this life could offer; the other snuggles to life’s routines, to the certainty of repetitive work

one rides the roller coaster, feeling trapped yet delights in going up, down and upside down; the other rides the carousel, safe and secure in simply going round and round

one dreams of traveling the world and getting to the very top of the career ladder; the other wishes to stay home, read a book and enjoy the simplicity and comfort of family life

one leaps blindly, prepared to face the surprises of the unplanned; the other steps back from a cliff after peering over it, always on the side of things that can be planned

one faces the world with a sweet, happy smile; the other with a mona lisa

one is passionate and surrenders blindly to it; the other keeps her passion at bay and on guard

one is possessive, suspicious and selfish; the other is freeing, trusting and selfless

one publicly talks about herself; the other keeps a diary.
