Grandiose

Lady in the Water Fountain | Abreeza Mall, Davao City
I never felt a heartbeat
     Then you present yourself like a mystery
     Out of nowhere
You shed some light
     On my gloomy night
     From that point on
You promise to be there
     That we will face each day
     With love and faith
We took a vow
     And sealed it 
     With our heart entwined
I look up to the sky
     And I see your face
     Embracing God's greatest creation
Facing the sun
     Doing an oblation
     Praying from this day on
I will love you
     Till the last strand of my crowning glory
     Fall on me

    I liked how it started as a fleeting and ephemeral description of a stranger and ballooned into an impassioned declaration. The allusion to the great Oblation was a nice touch. My only problem is, the POV changes from night to day. That kind of dampened the poem for me. But all in all it was a sweet and charming ride.

2012 is about to end... I would like to say "thank you" for being part of my 2012. You make it memorable for me.  As we are about to end this year, may God bless each and everyone of you with good health, peace of mind and a better and bright future.  This year, Ive gained a lot of things. I gained new friends and lost some. gained trust and respect from people that I never expected and lost trust and relationship to people who I cared friends. I never regret every decisions I made in 2012 as it made me a better person and will always be. I've win a lot of battles and lose some... but life must go on... Cheers to 2013! And may the abundance of our Mighty Lord be upon you.

Seen a ghost? Well, try to check the picture above. Ang larawan na ito ay kuha po sa loob ng kwarto namin ngayong umaga pagkagising. Try to look closely at door in the living room. Ilapit mo mukha mo sa monitor mo tapos idilat ang mga mata mo... see a man standing at the door staring in our room holding something? That's what I'm talking about... Bisita namin yan...That is the reason why I have been experiencing something different in this apartment. Afraid? Well, fear not! they don't do any harm. Lol. Maagang pananakot lang? Ganyan?

Oh na na, Whats My Name?

 I REALLY HATE MY NAME. dyuk! Seriously, I really don't like my name that much. Why? Tinatanong pa ba yan? For me kasi my name is so common. Madami akong kapangalan. Gusto ko kasi wala akong kapangalan eh. Gusto ko nagiisa lang ang name ko. Like for example, when I had my Masters may ka name ako na Alex (girl). So kapag tinatawag ang Alex napapatayo kaming dalawa kasi di  namin alam kung ako ba o yung girl ang tinatawag. Nakakainis diba.. pero mas gusto ko na siya ang tawagin haha.. Ayaw ko kasi ang oral recitation ehh.. Lol. If given a chance at kapag mayaman na ako, I might change my name into something different. Yung hindi common maybe starts with letter "Z" like Zandro, Zabel, Zeebeedee, Zuma (di pala common ha!?) or maybe starts with "X" like Xavier (marami nga lang kapareho) o di naman kaya a name that starts with Ñ. Astig diba? Pero honestly gusto ko talaga na name nag start sa letter "J". Ewan ko kung bakit pero pa...
