Haven’t seen Regine on any live concert. Last Sunday night, a re-run of her recent Araneta concert(Reigning Still) was shown over GMA-7. The so mababaw (or hopelessly romantic?) me was crying like hell in front of the tube (!!). Maybe it was Regine? Or the songs that she sang? Songs of aloneness, of wishful longing…of loving and letting go…or the brief duet she did with ex-bf Ariel Rivera?
Whatever it was…I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing like a river.

Crying cleanses the heart and the spirit.

With all that’s been happening around me lately, with all the things that I need to take care of and be strong about…crying is a luxury that I cannot find any room for. Simply because I cannot: For fear that if I do, everything will crumble under my feet.

It’s exhausting to be strong all the time…

So I give in to being weak from time to time…when watching concert re-runs like Regine’s…when watching some korean telenovelas…when doing the laundry or scrubbing the toilet.

Indeed, crying not only cleanses one’s heart and spirit…it also cleans the toilet!
