wiwi

comfort zone....

i lost mine again....

gona be with a new creative team... 3 teams in a year.. or maybe less than.. but it feels like ages..
i dont mind the movement...i just dont like the separation...

its just work... but what pisses me off, was the fact that i heard so many things that i wish i didnt hear yesterday...they always say that "we belong to a one family.. so we need to help each other.. balh blah blah"

ok thats good.. so i did that..

i didnt move to my new desk, even though i should.. im just finishing my work load.. its not my way of leaving responsibilitites to others, especially my deadlines.. i've got 4 deadlines yesterday...so i was here as early as 8am...

then people started askin... "when will i go up or move?"..well got annoyed a little bit.. so i said "ok i will.. today"...

then i read a text message from someone all mighty that i should move na coz it was agreed upon on this date that i will be reporting or working here.. blah blah yada yada.. and the network is paying na my salary from this date...

f*ck.. dude! im just tryin to work here...relax...

so right now... im here again.. same place.. different spot...alone.. with my computer...ranting...

and

asking a question...

what the fuck?!

isang minuto...

"kumusta na mike?" tanong mo habang nagbibihis ako..

"hindi ko alam, siguro ok lang.. hindi masaya, hindi din malungkot"

"tanggap mo na ba ang lahat?" parang nangungutya ka at pinipilit na saktan ako..

"di ba wala naman akong magagawa.. alam mo nung umpisa di ko kakayanin, pro di mo naman ako iniwan"

"yun lang naman ang magagawa ko, pro sana naintindihan mo na konti lang ang matutulong ko" sagot na simple pero malalim ang kahulugan para sakin..

"may nararamdaman ka pa ba sa kanya?"

"kay #####? di ko alam eh..pro pag naiisip ko gumugolo mundo. napapahinto ako"

"siguro nga meron pa..tsk tsk.. bayan mo na sya" pareho sa sagot mo..alam ko din meron pa..

"hindi naman masama kung tutuluyan mo ng kalimutan yung nangyari.." bat hindi ako natakot sabihin sayo..siguro alam ko maiintindihan mo ako..salamat pero

"minsan nakakasawa nadin maging malungkot, bumibigat ang lahat...nag iiba din ang kulay, lahat pusyaw, lahat madilim..lahat kulang sa buhay"

"gusto mo bang uminom? para maiba naman..." alam mo di ako umiinom, pero salamat sa alok..

"hindi na, inaantok na ako..bukas nalang tayo ulit mag usap."

"ok. sige"


alam ko gusto mo pang makipag usap, gusto pang marinig ang mga iniisip ko.. pro di ko na din kaya alalanin ang lahat..nag uumpisa palang ako tumangap ng katotohanan, mga kapangitan ng buhay..

siguro bukas.. pag may lakas na akong ngumiti at humarap sa salamin at kausapin ka muli.

...

In my loneliness,
I drown in the crowd;
In my silence,
I vanish in the busy chattering.
Walls resounding,
As caffeine-flavored air
Hovers rich,
Above me.
Inside the thickness of the room,
I sit still;
Unfamiliar faces,
With voices
Rising and falling,
In unison.
And I,

I’m invisible.

What was the problem again?

It has been said that men are natural problem-solvers. If so, does this make women natural….problem-makers?

My special someone very nearly threatened my life when I shared this observation with her. “We are NOT problem-makers! More often than not, YOU are the problem!”
Spoken like a true woman. Of course, I had to cite examples to prove my point.

The one trait of women I will never understand is their ability to make a problem out of everything. And I mean everything. If there is no problem readily available, you can make sure they will manufacture one for your convenience.

They make it a problem when you scratch yourself too much. What’s the big fuss? If it’s itchy, then it needs to be scratched. People do that.
But it might appear that you didn’t take a bath. And do you have to do it while we’re eating, or talking to someone?

Are we really going to argue over my scratching? It’s a simple bodily function, like urinating or yawning.

And what’s this fascination over shaving your legs? You shave, then you cover up with stockings. Bravo.

Shaved legs are sexier to look at. You just wouldn’t understand. It’s a girl thing.
But how will anyone know that they’re shaved if you cover them up with your stockings? Or your pants? You don’t wear shorts everyday now, do you?

And speaking of dressing up, why do you dress provocatively, then get angry when guys stare at you? Again, you create your own problem. If you don’t want to solicit any ogling, then don’t give us a reason to ogle.

My special someone also said that watching a basketball game was the single most boring thing she ever did in her life. I do not expect her to enjoy sports. But I do expect her to realize that window-shopping is ultimately ten times more boring than watching basketball.

Honestly, can you thing of a more ridiculous way to waste your time than to hop from one shop to the next without buying anything? And when, by some incredible stroke of luck you DO buy something, why does it take up to the end of the day?

Whenever there’s a mall-wide sale, my special someone (together with my mother and sister) roam the concrete land in search of the one bargain that will make their trip worthwhile. I, on the other hand, have bought everything I need in a span of 20 minutes. It takes me longer to park than to shop.

Can’t you people decide what you want BEFORE embarking on this hazardous trip to the mall? How come I never take as long to shop?

Because we only know what we want to buy when we see it (this is my mom talking, and she has a Ph.D. Can you believe that?)

Again, things could have been simpler, but you complicate them. I would have perfectly understood your fascination for midnight madness if you didn’t complain so often about the large crowds, your weariness, or the long lines in the comfort rooms. Are you sure you enjoy doing this?

But it doesn’t stop there. You buy something, but freak out when your credit card bill arrives. It sends you into immediate depression.

“Wala na akong pera! Ang laki-laki ng bill ko!”

Duh? Who told you to buy all those shoes (many of which you will replace after just three months) anyway?

And speaking of fashion, you own what, forty pairs of shoes, fifty blouses and thirty pants? And yet you always wonder what you’re going to wear. It takes you the whole night to dress up.
Follow our example: we own fewer clothes. Ergo, we have fewer garments from which to choose. Ergo, we’re ready to go in five minutes.

Do you see what I’m getting at? You create a problem by owning too many clothes.
Honestly, you wouldn’t have half your problems if you just thought out things systematically. You have so many “problems”, but you don’t know where to start searching for solutions.
But then again, I guess that’s what we’re here for.

before leaving the office.. i called my house and ask Red's nanny to put him on the fone and make him laugh.. i just wan hear his laugh.. his voice..

Floating Ice in Slushy Masses

There’s a reason for everything. Haven’t I told that to myself? But sometimes, reason goes beyond what my mind could grasp. I linger for a moment and realize that moving on was the least I could do. I must admit I failed during those times. And until this very moment, the struggling goes on.

Most of the time logic escapes me and I go down deep into the pit without any arm at hand. It’s a slow process and that makes it more painful. It starts with a scratch until you realized that it had become a wound that will never heal even with time. How could anyone be prepared for such a battle? Anticipation has always treated me as an adversary and with that, I am always bound to be defeated.

I have often called myself a fool. And truly, such name tagging would come in handy. Expectations go beyond the loss of hope and when that happens you have no choice but to accept. Fool as I am, I would make mistakes over and over again without realizing that committing them makes me weaker than I already am. I guess I will never learn from those mistakes because the way I see it, I kept doing the same thing.

But I learn not to cry over spilled milk. It’s the worthless thing possible. The time that elapsed could never be regained and so are the wrong actions. I’m just glad that there are memories that we could dig up inside our head. Because by then, we learn to appreciate events that were long-forgotten and remember people that we’ve hurt along the way hoping that with time they would fail to recall and learn to forgive.

I learn that nothing could be perfect no matter how we tried. Perfection is but an imagined word for us to delineate the lines of imperfection. It’s synonymous to the power of the opposites. You can never appreciate happiness without knowing grief and desolation; you can never appreciate being fulfilled unless you experienced being discontented; you can never appreciate beauty if you have not seen such imperfection.

Most of all I learn that enduring is not a sin. You have to move on alright but to linger has a good effect in itself. Because by then you are able to recognize the pain it brought in your life. You realize that although moving on is ideal,

sometimes,

it’s also good to indulge and wallow.

promise i wont

promises made to be broken

Monday, July 30, 2007

when a man loves a woman

send by a friend:



wisdom comes tru the yrs. as told oftentyms by those who hv gone tru the storms of winter and heat of summers,the flowers of springtym tht wilted in fall.It is also for those who hv witnessed the death of others but wud not think of ones own. My name is norman and my fren Adrian always tells me tht younger men need a wise n older man to tell them things,things like whom to trust,how to love,how to have a good life.Not long ago, Adrian lost his wife Janet to cancer.God knows she was a fighter but in the end,the disease won the seven yr battle...One day, Adrian pulled a folded paper from his wallet, He said he found it while going tru the drawers in the house.It was a love note,in Janets handwriting.It looked like a schoolgirls daydream note about a boy across the street.All tht ws missing was a hand-drawn heart and the names "Adrian n Janet".This note was written by the mother of four children,a woman w/in the months of the end.It was a wonderf! ul prescription for holding a marriage together. This is how Janet's nota about her husband begins, "Loved,Cared,Worried". Adrian didnt joke w/ his wife about cancer,Hed come home and shed be in one of the moods cancer patients get lost in and hed take her in the car fast enuf n say "Im taking u out to dinner."He worried and she knew it.You dont hide things from someone who knows better.The next words written were,"Helped me wen I was sick."Janet wrote this during the horrible pain brought by cancer.The list contained, "Forgave me for a lot of things.""stood by me"."provided me evrything if ever needed." And she ended her note by saying,"My husband my good fren to the last breath of my life."Then i ask Adrian,"Adrian you must hv sacrificed for Janet.How do i know i wud have wat it takes to stand by my wife if she got sick?" It took a while before he answered," You will",he said,"If you love her enuf,you will."



my promise, i will..

a little girl in me..

like any ordinary day...i start mine with a kick from my kid..gettin use to it really... but today was a bit ..well whats the word for it?..ah eh..er.. he made me scream like a little girl.. high pitched and 4 octave higher than my normal voice range.. after that pain from my little hellion.. i saw this cute little kid sitting right beside me and smiling..showin his 8 teeth..oh and he's pickin his nose..

i just smilled and asked him if he wants to be the only child..and he answered..

nam nam!
*english: can you pls give me my milk or else ill make you scream again..


*mental note*

today is the first birthday of my son..but i need to go to work.. his mom got a leave but it doesnt mean im a bad father..:)


i was talkin to her last night.. and the topic was the things we did before we went to the hospital.. and we were laughing.. but a bit emotional coz red will go under the knife before september...im fine with it.. not thinking of this as red's another painful experience but his solution to his prob and this is good..



now.. i can see that red is a happy kid.. always smiling, always showing his teeth.. and i noticed that he has a wrinkly nose too when he smile.. sooooo cute..



he also likes to hug people..*got that from me* he's so malambing (sweet) but man.. he knows what he wants and he needs to get it or he'll have this fit that even i cant handle..



* wait till i can woop your butt my little hellion*



but it'll take a lot from me to hurt you...honestly i love you more than anyone on this earth..even myself..




HAPPY BIRTHDAY RED!!!

tired of something

I recently found... maybe it's a sad thinking... that we don't share emotions. No we don't. We are sometimes filled with huge feelings, a life so intense that we could think in that very moment that we are unique....

But only us feel that. We don't share emotions.

im sorry for bein rude man.. im just tired..or maybe slipping away from this..



hope this orange pill will make me smile..

not

Michael, you do NOT touch.
Can we really flee from ourself?

- I am your conscience
- You don't look like my conscience
- Your conscience looks like nothing on earth. However, I do exist.
- Prove it
- I can prove it: you have something to blame yourself for, therefore I am hampering you.
- I have nothing to blame myself for. Moreover, I don't like your sententious and moralizing look. I'd rather not to have any conscience, neither good nor bad, and above all, not you.
- You don't actually chose your conscience. You can only hide it behind that pious hypocrite face. But I'll stand still in spite of you. Anyway, who do you think you are fooling?
- You questions are boring. You are boring: go away. Besides, that smoke is unbearable.
- Are you going to pretend once more that you never smoke?
- Absolutely.
- You would hopelessly never listen. What on earth am I doing here? I'm definitely going.


- Wait...don't get upset...


May I borrow a cigarette from you?



****

One morning you wake up.....it's monday and you're late, and you won't get your coffee neither..... but it doesn't matter anymore....

cause you know it: the awesome pain will stay.

That makes me a monster.

...

The rain starts to fall. On any other given day I would welcome the downpour. It would be a good excuse to sit by the window and cuddle. Now that she’s gone, the rain makes the pain even worse.

I have never known so much heartache...

It’s like she took her hand to my heart and squeezed it really hard. I feel so hollow and so devoid of anything. Anguish consumes me....


How can something so good be so wrong? She was the essence of my life, the core of my being.

I watched the wave crash angrily on the rock. I wonder what it feels like to be that rock.

I wonder if I’ll feel any pain...

sorry for the sadness shown

have you ever felt a kind of sadness that is so powerful that you become a moving statue or a stone..you know your sad.. not angry.. nor emotionally unstable..but sad..

this is beyond breakdown.. and if ill have one it wouldnt help.. trust me i know..

my heart is a beating pin cussion.. can feel every pin..

im showing sadness beyond recognition..
im feeling sadness beyond my comprehension..

but i am calm, i can smile, luagh, joke, or even work...

but all is empty..





Love . . . cannot exist without the bad breath and bad jokes and bad faith that comes when you get into another person. When that person leaves, she takes her bad things with her. And in her place is an emptiness so huge that your soul cries out for its demons like you wouldn't believe.

you: ok

out of boredom part 2

i know nobody read this..

if you read this blog... comment on this post why you waste your time reading me blog..

ok..

GO!

Jesus Sings Sinatra..

i know ill burn in hell for this.. just saw this post...this is not blasphemy or maybe it is..but this is just a diff way of seeing the greatest dude ever..


[If a Danish newspaper could publish a cartoon on Muhammed, and Filipino protesters could indulge so much in freedom of expression, maybe I could up the ante myself. I've realized recently I haven't been enjoying my so-called freedom, so I'm posting this 'evil' piece and see how far it would take me to verbal hell. This was inspired by a Rowan Atkinson sketch, by the way, and it's best when read aloud and the speaker is dressed up as a priest.]

And when Jesus went out, He saw a great multitude, and He was moved with compassion for them, so he went back inside the room, and later he came out dressed in a carrot suit. He went around the multitude and entertained them and pulled a rabbit out of a hat and made jokes about mothers-in-law.

And the sick were healed because they were happy. And one of them asked, "Do you do Tupperware parties, too?"

And Jesus said, "Only on weekdays."

When it was evening, the disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place. There's not even a local Pizza Hut franchise in sight. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food and do some R & R in some videoke bar so that they can also sing 'My Way'."

But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

And they said to Him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."

Jesus said, "Bring them to me."

Then He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, then He took the five loaves and noticed they were long past their expiration date. He took the two fish and smelled them and said, "This smells like James's armpits." So He commanded Judas to call on the cellphone the Salvation Army or the ABS-CBN Foundation for five truckloads of relief goods. Then the trucks came immediately, and the disciples were so awed at the quick response that they asked Him, "Master, how did you do it?"

Jesus chuckled and said, "I have clout."

And they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of plastic wrappers and Styrofoam cups and table napkins. And James said, "Let us not throw away these. I can make teddy bears out of these Styrofoam cups."

Immediately, Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on a mountain by Himself, checked if it was a WIFI hotspot, then checked his Friendster account on his laptop. And he was disappointed because some teenager flooded the bulletin posts by posting fifteen times some chain email about a woman called Mary that you have to send to many people or else you�ll die tonight. Jesus asked wisdom from the Father and the Father told him, "Unfriend that kid." So Jesus removed the kid from his list of friends.

Now, in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to the disciples on the boat, walking on the sea.

And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were amazed, saying, "Cool. Can you also do somersaults?"

Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer. Of course, I can somersault."

And Jesus did a somersault.

The disciples were doubly amazed, and they said, "Can you also spit through your front teeth?"

Jesus said, "Of course."

The disciples asked, "Like, as far as five strides?"

Jesus became annoyed, and said, "Of course, I can spit as far as five strides. And even farther." And Jesus spat through his front teeth, and hit somebody standing by the sea shore.

The disciples were amazed, and they all said, "Wow. That kicked ass."

But Peter said, "Master, I can also walk on water."

The disciples said, "Oh, shut up, Peter."
Peter said, "Seriously, I can." And Peter came off the boat to walk on water, but immediately, he sank like a rock. And Peter was gone.

And Jesus said, "From now on, let us remember Peter as 'Peter the Rock'."

And the disciples said, "Truly, you are wise, Master. 'Peter the Rock' sounds like a wrestler�s name, and only you can think of it, oh Son of God."

And Jesus, upon hearing it, just shrugged like he didn't care. After all, as far as he knew it, the only other creature that could walk on water was not even human; it was a lizard, a basilisk. But the disciples did not know it. So Jesus said, "Let's call it a day and let's go to a videoke bar. I hear they have this intriguing new contraption called 'Magic Sing'."

The disciples asked, "Master, can you sing 'My Way', too?"

Jesus was annoyed. He said, "All ye of little faith. Of course, I can sing that song. In fact, can do almost anything except chartered accountancy."

And right there standing on the sea, Jesus began singing Frank Sinatra's song.

listen to my head..

The poems do not
Want to be written
Because the poems
Want toWrite themselves.

Anecdotes about assholes
Robbing gas stations
While disguised as
Trees clad in Flannel.

These things come naturally
To the poems.
They cannot be extracted Like vanilla,
Or some other cooking product.


Fetus and phoenix Look the same
When mouthed.
If the world
Were mute,
We’d have all sorts of pregnant ladies
Talking about birds
And old ladies sporting binoculars
Getting in heated debates with abortion groups.

This is what poems would write
If poems could write themselves.

Poems would read their last words
Before they wrote their bodies
Or ate their vegetables.

We should all be poems
And write ourselves,
Write on ourselves,
Without word counts
Or line limits.
We should fill the pages
But not be filler.

This is what poems would write
If poems could write themselves.

This is what we would write
If we knew how to write ourselves.

Choices of an Inanimate Nature

The button on my pants
sought a better life
and ran away
to join the circus.
My button now helps
hold the big-top together
above three rings
and a thousand smiles.
In many ways my button and I
are the same
except its tent stays up
while my pants fall down.

less than a month...

had the best, worst, interesting and a bit depressing 3 weeks of my life...

like i have my own roller coaster ride...

the ride is free..i think im still on it this very minute.. i want to get off now.. pleaseeeeee

the first part was pretty much nice... goin up and up.. higher and higher.. nice..

but the fall was a bit hard and damn fast.. i couldnt do anything but feel the weight of everything..

pain of losing someone.. hurt of seein my baby get sick.. feeling of bein betrayed by someone you trusted... and the weirdest thing i felt was the feeling of a broken heart..

before... i forgot the last time i cried.. really cried.. but the 3 weeks thought me to realize that i need it..or maybe unconciously i've been wanting to.. i need feel weak, accept that i cant be always strong emotionaly...

its ok to show weakness...
i cried 4 times within those weeks.... yah i counted...

first was just empathy..

second was for letting down a person who trusted me..

third was for my kid..

fourth was for a person..an angel for me and my mom.. but i guess God needs her more than we do up there to kick some ass..

now.. my ride is losing speed.. i guess around the corner there's an uphill or maybe a loop or two..


but for me.. im thru with the downside of life for the moment..


now im gona enjoy this friggin ride no matter what..

wuhoooooooooo!! my life sucks!! but the backgorund music kick assss!!!!

..

my mom called me this morning...

"hello.. mike..."
she paused for a while

"hi inay, whats up?"

she didnt answer back for a few seconds


"whats wrong?"
i asked...

"inda lina had an heart attack this morning, shes gone na..."
she answered with a heavy feeling, sad emotion or something..


i couldnt answer, dont know what to say..

"mike, its ok to cry"
she knows me well..

i knew i couldnt feel anything that time... i got numb..but i felt cold..

inda lina was the only good thing happened to my mom.. shes the only inlaw that truly loved her..and stayed beside my mom when we have problems with my dad..

she had this strong personality, she could make a cow meow just staring at its balls..but she always asked for a gift from me every xmas..but i always end up giving her money and a hug..

a hug..

thats my way of sayin "thank you"..

for all the things she did, for staying beside my mom when no body is willing to, for telling me to be strong always..

always...

always...

but i guess not now..

right now im showing emotions,

sadness..

"mike, its ok to cry"
she knows me well..


"i am mom"


"i am crying.. "




i hate talkin bout her in past tense..

Friday, March 23, 2007

...

i dont drink.. dont like the taste, hate the feeling it gives and i just dont like it.. period..

but for the couple of weeks.. ive been drinking.. a beer or two a night.. and i started comparing bein drunk and bein high.. i still prefer the later..

beer always acompanied by probs, saddness, anger, questions..etc.. etc

emotions that is reality..

bein high is a state where everything is amplified..all emotions.. all senses..

when im high.. i can hear the bass of a downbeat or in a heavytrance,i can hear people talk, i can feel a slightest touch, i can see clearly wether its real or jus the acid in the pill.. this is felt all the same time..
but after this, i am fine...i come back to my reality..

im not sayin im escaping my reality.. i dont have any reason to..

why am i comapring the two? i dono..

but right now.. i need them both badly..




im an artist:
I don’t have hobbies, I have obsessions.

Workplace Farting: Options Explored

Whether the cause is a previous night of drinking or a big lunch, the outcome is the same: Farts.

Seventy percent of the time, we can dispense freely. The other 30% of the time, such as at work, we have some tough decisions to make. This document is intended to help you in those decisions.

Holders - The obvious choice is just plain holding it in. A popular choice among the females and an almost impossible choice for males. I am not in favor of holding, as I believe the medical community has not done enough research about the long-term damage of holding. Really, where does it go if you hold it in? So be forewarned, using this tactic is to be done at your own risk.

Desk Jockey - When deciding to release right at your desk, one has many factors to consider:
- Do you have your own office? Feel free to fart at will risk free. After commencing, I highly recommend locking the door and feigning you are not in the office to avoid any unwanted visitors. I also highly recommend against spraying air freshener, as the smell of the freshener is a dead giveaway. Candles are a good alternative solution for the females.

- Are you seated at a cubicle or open desk? If so, one has to consider the proximity of the other workers and the density of workers in the area. If it is just you and one other person in the area, there is nowhere to place the blame. If others are fairly distant to you, the smell will dissipate by the time it reaches the others on all but the most egregious of days. There is always the chance of dispensing at higher decibels than anticipated due to the highly unstable nature of farts. In these most unfortunate situations, you will have to use cover up sounds such as scraping your heal on the floor. I recommend practicing making sounds covering a wide range of tones and pitches in anticipation of such an event. Dropping objects such as staplers, binders and tape may not produce a similar sound, but if done in rapid succession could distract others from the initial event.

Meetings: - Sometimes the urge strikes at the most inopportune time. Meetings and gas really do not mix. Releasing at a meeting is by far the trickiest of all the situations one could find oneself in. Although I am against holding in general, a meeting may be the time for it. It really depends if you have established baseline farts before the meeting. This will give you a sense of the decibel and scent level of what is to be expected. Warning: Do not ever use a meeting as the place to establish a baseline. Of course none of the above applies if you are meeting with vendors. You have free reign to do whatever you like.

Aisle Walker: - Releasing while walking around the office is a popular option. By the time the scent disseminates, you should be nowhere near the scene of the incident. The added benefit is that if the release is done at higher decibels than anticipated, you can break out into an all out sprint thereby fleeing the scene before others even look up to notice.
Broom Closet: - One option is to find a broom closet and release inside the closet. The only drawback is explaining why you were in the broom closet if you are caught entering or leaving the closet. I found stashing stationery supplies in the closet provides a nice excuse. People will love you for informing them about the backup stationery supply cabinet. Of course, you then have to find another closet, as your original place will become too risky.


And remember, if you're workplace has many open flames, you are on your own.

tired

Maybe this lack of words, for my part, is merely a result of being Unequivocally, Simply and Truly Tired.

But, of what? I haven’t done anything and I’m already tired of nothing. I want passion. I want it back.

I remember what it was like to be in love. Not just with a girl. Though, certainly, I have loved several times and sometimes, all at the same time. I used to be able to fall in love with a lip-shaped smudge on the mirror. Or, a perfectly made paper airplane that glides and flips and floats and lands with ease on the pavement under the sweltering sun. Or, a mathematical proof that started out ugly with square roots and exponents and powers of two and ten and five and fractions that could make my mother cry, but ended quaintly and promptly at x being equal to y over a rainbow, or something like that. Or the sway of a woman’s hips as she walks across a garden, sweat on her upper lip and her nape, her blushing child at her hip, sucking on a lollipop and humming her lullabies to himself. Her skin, you just know, would be yellow and purple at the bone where her babe had been nestling since birth. But there is no pain, only the comforting ache of presence. So beautiful. A woman’s body is the map of the universe. It was made to make loving easy.

Nothing was so ugly that it couldn’t teach you to love.

....

would you persue something yournot sure you gona get or have just because it felt right and you felt a love much stronger than anything in this world?...

you gona lose a big part of your soul by doin this..
would you?


i did.. and i lost not only a part of my soul but also 5 years of my life....

with all the pain felt...
all sad emotions showed..
all the dissapointments i gave to the people who love me coz of what i did..
every waking hours.. it felt like hell.. but colder..

this was accepted with open arms..

coz of one thing..

forgotten..forgetting..

she was just the same age as he was..

when she smiles, a dimple below her left eye appears..

she was wearing a pendant.. silver and with a cross..
blue denim jeans, sneakers, a white blouse..

and that smile..

that smile will be the end of him..but hoping for a beginning..

people passes by.. his classmates, friends and even professors..
no one is more significant than that smile..

"are you allowed to have that long hair?" she asked..

"No, but im thinking of cutting it short.. what you think?"
asking if she aware of him.. or maybe intrested..

"hmm.. i dont mind the hair.. kinda gives an attitude or something..your an artist, you can get away with it.."
maybe she's tryin to be polite sayin those things... but man it did made his day..

"ok"
an answer with a smile.. but with that smile, he prayed he dont have any thing stuck in his teeth..

"so your boyfriend is taking up what course?"
a question meant to know if she has one or a chance to go on the second notch and let her know that it was not the last day she gona see him..

"Business management, we're in the same school...."
heaven and earth fell upon him, the ground swallowed him whole..

"wow, nice, cool"
stupid answer..

but he forgot, he was a personal joke of fate..

"but im thinking of breaking up with him...maybe this school year" she told him with a sad face..

"sorry to hear that, maybe you should give him a chance"
he nearly slap his face and shout coz of all the things he can say, why the hell he ask for that friggin idiot to have another chance with the girl of his dream..

"nevermind, lets not talk bout that.. wana have a snack?" he quickly changed topic...



"sure, your treat..."


thank God for tuition money..

forgotten..

maybe not..

she made me like this..

i dont mind learning to feel pain at an early age, i dont mind ruining my life coz i fell hard, i dont mind bein alone..

but i do deny things i cant control.

i wish you were rude to me.. but you talked to me for an hour..
i wish you didnt smile at me.. but you laughed like a child to my silly and corny jokes..
i wish you're ugly.. but your skin.. pale,white, angelic...
i wish you didnt hold my hand inside the elevator coz you got scared coz its old and noisy.. but your hand felt as if you knew me and you trusted me..

that was the first time i really loved someone.. but all i know bout you is your name and you are a friend of a friend..

i dont think you noticed that you took something..

my soul..

########

he always wakes up early..openning his mom's furniture shop..didnt mind lifting things.. sofas, chairs, beds and tables.... thats his workout..or maybe just earning his keeps.. after that, he went upstairs and got ready for his enrollment.. 2nd year now.. Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Advertising.. he love what he was takin, not his first choice but he find peace and expression doin stuff..

he always wear his old torned pair of jeans.. white shirts and sandals.. he belonged to a group of student who had their hair grew long.. 5'10" 150lbs, fair skin.. people always stare at him.. looking.. thinking.. admiring? he doesnt care..

theres no traffic, the commute was fast.. got too early..he headed straight to his building..
took the stairs coz the old slow dirty box they so called elevator was out of order again.. half the school year it was..

7 floors.. 3 mins he took to reach his room..

the first thing he saw was two girls talking.. one was familliar and one was a face smilling..

he said hi..and she responded with a grin.. he was suprised.. was so cute.. he pulled a chair and started askin stuff but always trying to find words.. hes not really a talker.. he always prefer silence but that time he wants to converse, listen, ask and joke..

he felt nice..

his friend ask if he doesnt mind staying with deenah for a moment..she'll just enroll and be back after an hour.. he answered with a smile and thought that it wouldnt hurt to enroll the next day..


life was gettin better.. he thougth..

listen to my mind

i am calm today..

got in at 7:30 and did some personal things..

weekend was still a working day for me..

my mind is out right now.. just stepped outside

still thinking of getting a canon camera...

looking for diane arbus's work..

im gona accept my everyday ugly..

why am i writing like this..

when your dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardess part..

Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship, never..

Call me what you want, but I sincerely refuse to believe that 'no' is not the answer

my words are cold and flat.. you deserve more...

Like somehow, you weren’t meant to win this game...

Being a sentimental, optimistic, bastard can work both ways. ..


"sometimes the last thing you want come's in first.. sometimes..the first thing you want never comes.. but i know waiting is all that i can do.."

i just dont know when to stop.

peace man!

stress is a state of mind...
pressure is a state you need to be in, to be good on what you are doin...


just a thought.....




I have words to say to you my friend..Is it hard to know what’s right from wrong...Have you ever felt your life so self assured..You don’t know the things that you’ve done wrong
And then we’ll say..We’ll rip out our covers..Shake the walls until they break..I’ll hold out my hand to you..

Supreme love and respect


Peace man!
