Time Slip.
We were strolling along the sidewalk of a park, hunting for butterflies that we could take photos of, when a glitch of sepia tone clouded everything on my sight. That lasted for seconds then it faded away. Although the colours of the world returned, everything came to a still. The clouds were not moving and no wind stirred the trees. It was as if the world got tired. My friend, who was with me, walked towards a tree in front of him, as if someone is calling him.
Then and there, butterflies appeared from nowhere.. They flew around us. One butterfly rested on a tree branch, closed its wings and stared at me. I captured every moment of it using my camera while it bathed in sunlight, innocently opening its wings.. I took images of the butterfly until my gaze was struck by the tree in front of me. I looked above and witnessed the tree’s branches and leaves covering the sky. I can’t help but took photos of its magnificence.
The next day, I and my friend came back at the same spot. We returned to that same location, the place where we were dazzled by the butterflies. We continue the search but we were unable to find the tree..
I know. It was a time slip.
Our cameras do not remember the butterflies and the tree. There were no single photographs of what happened on that place. The cameras only remember the things before and after we left that spot.
Grammar edited mercilessly by Mr. Nonsense! What’s correct, butterflied or butterflew?

Time slips are scenarios where you enter a dimension of the past that may or may not exist in the current world.
and a tree could not be erased in just a day.
i believe it was a time slip.
i just do not know what time frame we are back then..
or ahead, maybe.
ngayon ko lang naisip tong time slip. totoo meron ngang ganito. i loved the statement about the world getting tired. so cool.
ako, i believe in time slips also!
wala na ba talaga?? baka iba lang ang nabalikan nyo?? hehe…
haha, wala na talaga. yay.
seriously, this happened to us. high school classmates way back high school years.
lotsa of us went to this cemetery.. and there’s this specific tree where we had bonfire.
we wouldn’t forget that, because we are the ones who didn’t attend the JS prom, and we decided we need a celebration for being kill joy way back so we went to the cemetery..
and then boom, we went back..
and i researched about missing trees.
they are all folktales.. and then i happened to read about time slips.. so may be it was time slips. hehe.
hehe.. maganda ax.. kahit ako medyo nagka interest sa time slips na yan.. research ko nga rin kasi dito sa bansa natin maraming mga nangyayaring ganyan na.. kwento ng mga lolo at lola natin.. at ung iba aakalain nila na namumulto sila,.. try ko ngang magbasa tungkol jan.. interesting..
haha, sige lang. research ka lang!
ako naman about memories ang nireresearch ko ngayon. hm, wala lang. may ginagawa lang ako. hehe.
hehe.. nakita ko ang pangalan ko sa top 100 most handsome pinoy bloggers.. hehe.. kaw ba nag nominate?? hehehe
nakalimutan ko na kung sino sino yung binoto ko.. pero kulang pa yung binoto ko.. kase mga 5 lang. dapat nga magdadagdag pa ako, kaso di ko na nagawa. hehe.
haha.. yaan mo iboboto kita.. hahaha.
haha, nakow, oks lang kahit hindi..! hehe!
boboto ako, pero di ko iboboto ang sarili ko. yay. pero totoo!
although, i change the story a bit..
wow. and all i have experience are freudians.
how do time slips happen?
when your surroundings seems to change in a sudden depressing aura, and mostly there are no effects of light and shade.
and, of course, when everyone are dressed in a renaissance period gowns and tuxedos. hehe.
meron ring feeling slips…
ayown, feeling slips!
supernatural..magical..but does it really happen? i mean the time slip? though it seems to be true, i have never experienced it so i must say that i do not believe on it..hehe
or it was because of my damaged brain! hehe.
haha..adik!
WOW! may creative writing skills ka pala, tsong! ilagay kita sa blogroll ko at babalikan kita.
“I am born today
to drink and be chased—
seven busy days.”
Your post reminds me of this haiku entitled ‘butterfly’ I wrote
that speaks much about life and its fleeting nature.. Only when you think you’ve captured its very image, it disappears then like a memory from a dream.
salamat, suckingbird killer!
meron din akong sinulat na haiku, yung iba nakalimutan ko na, meron diyan, kaso tanaga ata, or haiku. haha, haiku nga ata yun, yung post kong sa pagitan ng hita ni marie. hehe.
oi ax, nag podcast na din ako. kaso ala na akong comment section. hehe
aw, sige! papakinggan ko yang podcast mo! bat mo tinanggal comment section mo?
hi Ax! nagbalik na si comment section. hehe. na-miss mo pala sya? :)
honga! hehe. nagcomment na nga ulit ako doon eh!
i also love taking photographs of butterflies kaso, slow yung shutter ng cam ko, the moment the pic is taken ayun, naka-lipad na si butterfly :(
haha, punta ka sa butterfly farm! di ba meron nun sa.. bohol ata! hehe, hindi mo na kailangan ng mabilis na shutter don!
meron din sa subic..hehe..dami na butterfly farms ngaun..
yep, saan pa ba meron, meron din ata sa, ahm, baka dyan sa cebu meron Mon! oh, di kaya pumatay ka na lang ng butterfly tapos picturan mo. hehe. di na yun gagalaw, matakot ka talaga pag lumipad pa yon!
bad ka aks..sa marinduque..madami dun deads na paru2..nakaframe na..ehehe..tsaka sa mga native shops sa intra
aw, oo. may nakita nga ako niyan sa Kultura shops. Mga butterflies na naka-frame! Meron din kami nun dati, mga vintage na naka framed butterflies.. Wala na nga lang ngayon.
haha..ung saken, andun pa samen..hehe..di ko na lang lam kung san nalagay..
question lang, do you think those framed butterflies died a natural death..o they tried to kill those just to have them framed?
walalang
both. pero i am inclined to believe that those have died a natural death. mahirap patayin ang butterfly without damaging their wings, unless they were killed airborne.
yung mga namamatay na butterflies sa butterfly farm, yun yung nilalagay nila sa frame ang alam ko.. and i think, it is also waiting.. mabilis lang naman ang life span ng mga paroparo.. hehe.
oh, i see,,galing naman..di ko naisip un ah..onga no..ehehe..
try ko minsan magtrap ng butterfly..
interesting..gusto ko tuloy magresearch ulit bout them..
butterflies are a true tale.. until i read the clinic by budgette tan and kajo baldisimo from underpass, comic novels.
hehe. but i do not want to give spoilers.. yeah, it was just a fiction story.
try researching for butterflies!.. then tell me what you have discovered!
cge..that wud be all? hehe..mya assignment nako
may mga butterflies na nagtra travel miles away.. then babalik ulit di ba.. hehe.
yup..ive read about that one..
and know what, il have butterfly henna tattoo tomorrow! hehe
exciting!
huwaw, exciting nga yan!
saang part?
back of my neck..hehe
ayos yan ah!
hehe,,wala lang,,trip lang..tapos before this week ends, patattoo ako ulit sa may gilid ng tyan ko..beach kasi kami.ehehe
honga, summer na summer na talaga! nafi feel ko na ang panahon! hehe.
gusto ko magpatattoo talaga.. kaso papatayin ako sa bahay! hehe.
korek, ako nga din e..tsaka hindi pa tlg ko decided kung ano papatattoo ko..panforever na ksi un..mhal magpalaser kpag ayaw mo na..

Wow, asan yung unang comment ko dito? na-time slip din??
Eniwey, ganito lang naman po iyon: Ang galing naman, at ang husay ulit ng pagkakasulat. Ganda rin ng kuha ng paruparo. (yung mga paruparo sa kalamansi namin, parating black at yellow ang kulay, bakit kaya??? hehehe)
Ayos, ‘tol!!!

malay mo exciting ang mangyari!
kung ikaw yung makikita ko don okay lang :lol:

wag yung present.. kase hindi time slip yon. hehe.
yung future… :P
haha.
future! papunta na dyan si dhyoy!
ganda ng kuha mo… :)
Kailangan ghost na yung susunod na makuhaan! hehe.
ang ganda ng post mong to kua ang sarap basahin nakaka fresh ng memory hahahhah thanks sa post mong to kua ax
no prob.
i-refresh na yang memory na yan. yay.
oO NGA KUA heheheh galing mo ngang bloger
tsk, puro na lang magaling, magaling.
wala bang magsasabing gwapo?
haha.
gwapo
iboto mo siya euford. hehe. ^_^
wahaha, hindi joke lang yown!
Amazing! O baka ibang place pala yun? Hehe.
I also wished it was a different place.
I do not know if they are really called “time slips” but the situation you described do happen… :)
I have talked to many persons who have encountered similar happenings, and they were not intoxicated…
Of course, nature always has many tricks up in her shoulders… :)
Hehe, pinanagutan ko lang na time slip. Me also not sure if it was really a time slip, but the missing trees, they are for dang real!
OT: Di pala ako nakabalik sa website mo! aw!
Nakabalik ka na! Hehehe… Anyways, more on time slips… Physics still has a lot to uncover with regards to time travel… One way travel into the future, or a time slip into the future is possible by argumentation. However, no laws would support a time slip to the past… :)
Physicists still need a unification theory to allow for more viable conjecture… At isa pa, ika nga ng “kaibigan” kong si Stephen Hawking, we don’t bump into tourists from the future… :)
Sabi naman ng physics consultant namin dito dati na nakapagtrabaho sa NASA, kailangan nilang makakita ng paraan kung paano i-violate ang 2nd law of thermodynamics, the law of entropy wherein systems move from an ordered state to a disordered state… Time slips to the past would mean moving from a disordered state to an ordered state… :)
Huwaw, may kakilala kang nagtrabaho sa NASA? tinanong mo yung Area 51?
Ahhh… Fantasy world. Baka napunta kayo sa ibang dimension. Ano nga ba tawag dun, parallel…?! Maa-access kaya ng future humans ang past and present natin thru time warp / machine? Napanuod mo ba yung “the time machine”? Gusto kong mag-travel at puntahan yung panahon na nag-time slip kayo… Gusto ko ring i-freeze ang time at i-preserve ito para sa ibang dimension. Gusto mag-teleport sa tabi mo at sabihing… “wow, ang daming naglilipanang mariposa sa isipan ko dahil sa post mo…” Seryoso, may tanong ako. Ano yung haiku? Yun lang. Matlasa! :D
Hehe, ako rin! gustong gusto ko magtime travel! kahit anong era, epoch, tme frame man yan!
yung haiku, isang form of peotry originated in japan. 5-7-5 ang sukat nito!
Pahabol! Ano yung “butterfly effect”? Napanuod ko lang yung movie 5 years ago… Naalala ko lang sa post mo. May kinalaman din kaya yun sa time slip?
Yay, actually search ko rin ang meaning ng butterfly effect, alam ko yung movie pero di ko alam ang meaning. Haha.. at according to my friend, Wiki:
The butterfly effect is a metaphor that encapsulates the concept of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory; namely that small differences in the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. Although this may appear to be an esoteric and unusual behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position. The butterfly effect is a common trope in fiction when presenting scenarios involving time travel and with “what if” scenarios where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes.
wow..galing ng kuha mo ax.
hehe! kamusta si busyok?
naniniwala ako sayo ax. may mga bagay talaga na walang tao ang pedeng magsabi kung ano ba talaga yun.
maging masaya ka na lang at na experience mo. pagdating ng panahon na lolo na tayo ay may mashesare tayo sa ating mga apo :D
salamat kuya dencio! kailangan ko ngang maging mas masaya pa lalo!.. sa mga experiences ko!
kuya ax
bakit ba ang daming tao lagi dito, ha?
hehe
saka iba pala ang gusto kong ma experience na butterfly, yung madulas na buttterfly lols
haha! ayos yan, yung madulas na butterfly!
Mahusay po.
husayer yer!
I’d say you and your friend were lucky to have experienced the joy and beauty of such a spectacle. :-)
thanks Ms. Kaye!
it puts me on a lot of thinking.. and then, for one moment, i feel i am special. hehe.
haha. ngaun ko na realize ang corny ng naisip kong name. prng nagsisisi nako naisip ko un.haha.
teka, bat may paru-paro jan…ang iingay pa! haha! anyways, tingin ko mas masaya pa rin mang haunting ng birds..ung habang nakain sila isang umaga, bubugawin mo sila..o di ba?!
oo nga, bakit yun yung naisip mong name?
ayoko ng birds. bahala ka, mahilig ka sa birds.. tulad ni tweety.
haha. ayan iba na!
birds? i love birds…lalo ung nanunuka! ang sarap hawakan sa leeg! haha! patay ako sa PETA neto! bwhahaha

Time Slip.
We (were)stroll(ing along) the sidewalk of a park, hunting for butterflies that we could take photos of, (when) a glitch of sepia tone clouded everything on my sight. That lasted for seconds (then) it faded away. Although it faded (use different word than fade) away, everything (came to a still?). The clouds (were)not moving and no wind stirred the trees. It was as if the world (got) tired. My friend(,) who was with me(,) walked in front of a tree as if someone is calling him.
Then and there, butterflies appeared from nowhere (delete “no signs of where they came from” since we already know they came from “nowhere”). They (flew…not flied like flied lies) around us. One butterfly rest(ed) on a (tree branch), clipped (?) its wings and stared at me. I captured every moment of it using my camera while it bathe(d) in sunlight, innocently opening its wings. I (captured) images of the butterfly until my gaze was captured(striken or struck?) by the tree in front of me. I look(ed) above and saw the sumptuousness(?) of its branches and leaves twigging out(?) covering the sky. I can’t help but took photos of its magnificence.
The next day, (my friend and I)came back at the same spot. We (returned) to that same location, that place where we were dazzled by the butterflies. We continue(d) the search(,) but we were unable to find the tree.
I know.(fragmented, may combine these sentences) It was a time slip.
Our cameras do not remember the butterflies and the tree. There were no single photographs of what happened on that place. The cameras only remember the things before and after we left that spot.(teka muna. kala ko eh kinunan nyo ng litrato? teka muna…scandalous ba yung pictures nyo? sino sa inyo ang paru-paro na nagbukas ng pekpek…i mean, pakpak!
first paragraph: …my friend walked towards a tree that was infront of him…
