Awesome one...!!...I like it....!!...


I dig my toes into the sand
the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
pretend that I am weightless
and in this moment
I am happy, happy


I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

lust...

passion...

thrust your hands in mine.

caress my warmth,

feel my heat,

satisfy this throb.

touch me.

kiss me.

ignite...

satiate my burning soul.

I am yours...

be my hell.

be my refuge.

be my bliss...

kung wala ka ng gustong sabihin
wag ka ng tumingin ng ganyan
kung bukas ako'y kalilimutan
sana naman ay wag mo ng isipin
ako'y tawagan

habang may panahon
wag na nating hintaying
lumalim pa, at masakit ng tanggapin

ang pag-alis ng iyong liwanag
na gumising sa mahabang gabi
ika'y langit ngunit baka masanay
at di kakayanin ang iyong pag-alis

kung wala ka ng gustong marinig
ako'y aalis at mananahimik
kung bukas ako'y kalilimutan
sana naman ay wag nang manumbalik
at bigyang pansin



pag-alis

starry... starry-eyed

For they could not love you

But still your love was true

And when no hope was left inside

On that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do

But I could have told you vincent

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you...

I’m over your lies
And I’m over your games
I’m over you asking me
When you know I’m not okay
You call me at nightAnd
I pick up the phone
And though you be tellin’ me
I know you’re not alone


Oh and that’s why your eyes
I’m over it
Your smile
I’m over it
Realized
I’m over it,
I’m over it
I’m over


Wanting you to be wanting me
No that ain’t no way to be
How I feel,
read my lips
Because I’m so over
Movin’ on,
it’s my time


You never were a friend of mine
Hurt at first, a little bit
But now I’m so over
I’m so over it


Don’t call,
Don’t come by
Ain’t no use don’t ask me why
You’ll never change
There'll be no more crying in the rain
No, oh oh
I’m over it




over it
katharine Mcphee


you will now be a part of my history...thanks for everything.

tennis fever

we had a tennis fever today. it's raining here in our town and the next town but jay2x and geraldine got off to fetch me coz they really wanna play. told them the weather here in our town ain't for tennis at all, but they insisted. so off we went to capitol, but the court there is only for people who have brought there swim suits along with them, a nice place for swimming...haha! taga tuhod ang tubig! paet! we got a tennis fever, so we went to lanipao though to cure our sickness.

I, gg, atan, geraldine and jay2x had the court to ourselves at first, cherry and edison were also there. kit-an na nuon akong dinulaan...atikon kuno ko...tsk tsk tsk. saonz. di na pud ko sukol nila oi! di nako kadaog nila tawon... men has a faster progression than women in tennis because they have more reserved strength than women. mao nana! I had a really great time! naa pay tata na kaihion tag samot sa ka hinay molihok...cge ramig pangatawa! anyways thanks to these girls mawala akong mga probs pag naa sila...bunawwwww pagyud kaayo ang coke! ahhhh!!!!

our untiring "trip"

the "trip" started when I was awaken to receive a phone call from one of our tennis leader leader-court manager - jun jun seno which was awfully the worst time to call me: I was in the middle of a morning short nap!!! arrrggg! good thing it was an invitation to feed my hungry stomach with elmer's food offers... "mag ihaw daw'g manok si elmer" so there goes my siesta, cut short by a chicken offer. haha! I immediately called my dogs (myska, sazzy n' nooki) for their scheduled bath, talking 'bout sacrificing pacman's and solis' boxing clash and having to endure those loud cheers and screams coming from everywhere - just to get to that lunch picnic. kaon na gud na! haha! so there, I texted jay jay ...

if you'll ask who in the world jay jay is, better read this: I first saw her during last month's regional meet - NMRAA, and I was able to meet this head turner when our common friend geraldine went to the capitol tennis court wit' this pretty chic to play tennis. a palaro player, and an on the rise tennis star player here in lanao (hehe...right jay?). it was a start of very good friendship and partnership. haaay salamat jay naabot ka!Ü enough already , bukad nyang atay jayjay kun maka basa ani! haha! peace jay! ;p

jay and I arrived at elmer's place and quiet manokan, dived in with the "deliciouso" meal - tinolang manok, kinilaw, water melon, and to top all that... panga!!!! of course, pacman's boxing glory was the sweetest dessert.Ü after the lunch picnic wit' galen, elemer, jun jun, ate tata, ate celia, and jay jay... here's what happened:

una: we went to capitol to play but it was raining cats and dogs there, so we decided to go to laneco.

ikaduha: laneco was able to accomodate our bursting tennis urges for a while. we had a pusta-anay: ate tata-celia vs. jay-I game... in which we end up losing the game and elmer had to commit to treat us wit a half galon ice cream from betting on our behalf! haha! sorry mer! eventually, laneco became flooded wit' pouring rain drops so we decide to play in my town, Baroy (wahahaha! mga wak wak!).

ika tulo: we went to baroy but with heavy hearts, ga uwan sad! huhuhu! so we decide to go to lanipao...( nah! mga abat na gyud mig tennis aniiiii!!!!)

ika upat: good thing the weather in lanipao has a little bit been hospitable to us, so ate celia-elmer vs. ate tata-jun jun doubles continued with a cake bet. I dont know who the hell won, but it sure did fill our stomachs after that game.hehe! by the way we played very wet! (oi! basa ang buhok ug lawas! tsk tsk! malisyoso!) hehe!

ika lima: so on with our untiring trip. we went to maranding then. went to northpole ( a snack house) only to find out they're out of ice cream... read on...

ika unom: so the last trip was kapatagan. we finally settled with burger and ice cream and sprite. yum yum! it was a super fun tiring untiring trip! hehe! and a filler too! thanks mer! thanks te! thanks jun! and thanks ate celia for letting me borrow a shirt! and tnx jay for teaching me netting, and thanks part for just simply being around.Ü

ana rami ka mabaw! bow! hehehe!

I want that adventure and ultimate experience too. I want to tour around asia. too bad, my passport has recently expired- not to mention the deadline is on april 13, only tick days from now. so gone with the wind with the excitement, and back to my sweet awful reality. suma total: next batch nalang mi. we have all the time in the world... for training! hahaha! goodbye tennis! hello adveture race! hahahaha! te! karon makaingon nagyud sila tinood ngyud na mga ambisyosa ta! hehe!

But it's so clear,

You poor sweet innocent thing.

Dry your eyes and testify.

You know you live to break me.

Don't deny.

Sweet sacrifice.

One day I'm gonna forget your name,

And one sweet day,

you're gonna drown in my lost pain.

I was too close in thinking that I may be dreaming half awake, reality has hit me like someone has served first ball cross court, and by the time I was about to hit it back, it has reached me, straight faced. ow! that hurt! my mind spinned, I had to get my acts together, but it's too late. it has now reached the milky way, and I found my self stuck in the middle of a galaxy. caught somewhere that's not even familiar. my pulse beat faster than a runner sprinted for a varsity try out. and for what seems to be the longest battle with realization, I came up with one conclusion. reality checked, I am lost. and I wanna be caught in this space for a seemingly timeless state ...

poetry

immature poets imitate; mature poets steal. ~ Frost, Robert. american poet.


poetry is not an expression of the party line. it's that time of the night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public; that's what the poet does. ~ Ginsberg, Allen. american poet.


the worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood. ~ Cocteau, Jean. french writer, visual artist and filmmaker.


it is impossible to translate poetry as it is to translate music. ~ Voltaire, Francois Marie Arouet. french poet and dramatist.

"mai, gud eve.. mi daog nasad ka krn noh? mi gwas man ang 280 mai..."

I received a txt message last night from marlon, my nursing classmate who gave me 2 swertres combo, the same person who gave me the winning no. 363 which I won 1,200... now I won 8000 minus one 0 (hehehe). it's a small amount but I badly need it. actually I only get to have 600. because I gave the 200 as barato to my aunt n' uncle. la lang, I just feel I wanna share this blessing. I just lose 500 pesos this week betting on tennis commercial games. so bawi ra akong daog karon. sugarol na ko? not really... I'm not serious with this stuff. kung maka dumdum ra. I was in the tennis court last night when Marlon texted me. I really can't believe it, I never thought I'll win. actually he gave me 5 winning combos but I never took it seriously... all these numbers won. datu na unta ko ron...paet! so marlon...this post is for you. thanks for giving me cash - in indirect ways! hehehe!Ü

swerte ang mobasa sa akong blog. 855. bet on this no. daog napud ni. goodluck!

a ticket to the wimbledon open

For 4 years now, I’ve been pretending to be so focused, and the people around me thought so. They just don’t know that within, I am so messed up. I hope I haven’t kissed drinking goodbye, it could’ve then be easier for me to anesthetize myself and gain momentary tranquility every time anxiety attacks. If only somebody had forewarn me that sobriety could be so boring… but its too late, cause I already detest the taste of beer, and I don’t really go for hard drinks—it’s like gulping rubbing alcohol.

While stuck in the midst of oblivion, my mom keeps on insinuating me to join the fad everyone is crazy about…. NURSING. Initially, I didn’t entertain the thought. I’m not stupid to put all my hard work studying pharmaceutical subjects, memorizing the chemical structures and names, not to mention the mind-draining thesis and having to deal with rabbits, mice, guinea pigs as test animals, which by the way I hate to even touch. It’s hard to put my hard earned degree backstage just to make way for a nursing career and I have my pride as a pharmacist though. So it’s definitely a NO!

As each day passes, I’ve become so unsatisfied with my life, so unfulfilled, at some point I felt useless…. A total loser. I was talking to Mai—architecture graduate (childhood buddy/tennis partner & mentor) one day, when we realized that there are a lot of things that we wanted to do. She wants to go to Greece and experience the romance that Lena (Alexis Bledel; in the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) had, and of course I want to be there to witness all that. We want to swim the beaches of Bali, go Caribbean Cruising, enjoy a white Christmas, have a taste of the different cuisines around the globe, go to Europe, shop till we drop, own a yacht, spend nights in the most expensive accommodation of the only 7 star hotel in the world- Burj Al Arab in Dubai, and top of it all, we want to watch live championship matches at the Centre Court during Wimbledon Open. Our list goes on and on and on, but nevertheless, it’s all about having a secure future… a very secure one indeed.

We know we can’t have all that if we’ll pursue our careers here in our country. Not unless we get to marry “Mr. Deeds” who can finance on everything we want. So I guess that leaves “nursing” as our only options to do all that. And finally after thinking about it for the nth time…whole-heartedly with fingers crossed, we decided to join the fad.
