rest

Finally, I was able to rest for three days! Three days! It might not be alot to some but for me, that’s alot already. A much needed and deserved rest!

So you’re wondering what I did that whole three days huh? Well, I finished reading three books… Yes! Three books in three days! Like what they say, ‘three’s a charm’.

It was actually fun being able to both exercise and relax my mind. To somehow be in a different world with the characters of the book I am reading. To experience a much awaited yet surprise wedding and anniversary of a couple. To be in Russia and travel to Czech then to Germany and see the world’s lost treasures. To be with gypsies and to travel to London and see the inner beauty and wonders of oneself. It makes me fall in love all over again, to feed my imagination of what these treasures could’ve done to the world and to reflect on what I can do for myself and for other people by being Happy deep within.

Funny what a much needed rest can do to a person… How about you? Have you had your fair share of much deserved rest? Think about it and try to have some! It’ll do you good!

honey baby

I fell in love with you for no apparent reason, no underlying meaning and with no hidden agendas. I am happy that I have you and you know that I will always be here for you too. You made me realize things that I thought didn’t matter at all.

You always add a beat to my heart,
a step to my foot,
put a smile on my lips,
and a breath of fresh air in my lungs…

Open Wounds

I’m letting my wounds heal,
Yet without treatment.
I’m letting my mind stay blank,
Yet I think of him.
I’m keeping myself together
Although my world is
Still scattered and torn apart.
I’m letting my heart feel numb and
My mind bereft of thinking, yet,
No matter what I do,
I still feel the way I did and
My mind thinks only of him.
You may call me crazy,
You may call me weak.
But I ask you,
Is there not one soul weak
When love runs from their side?
When blood flows from
Its open wounds,
When there is no more left
For you to drink,
When all that you have
Have been taken away, and
When everything that you’ve become reveals
A question of your real identity?
Then soon enough you’ll ask,
What now?
Life has its own meaning and
So does love.
For life without love is meaningless and
Love without life is nothing but
A mere fantasy of being able
To love but not being able to live.

Coolest Gal

She was Ethel Drida Albay, for me, she was the coolest person I’ve ever met. She loved traveling, going out after work, working harder and spending much deserved ‘peace and quiet’ with her television and couch. Sometimes we never get to understand her mood swings but so what, she’ll bounce right back and bug everyone she sees. She was also one of the sweetest girl I’ve ever met. Never forgets a birthday, an anniversary, a death memoriam or anything else. She loved everyone yet I think she loved them more than she loved herself. Very secretive and quiet at times. You will never be able to figure out what was on her mind. She had an almost perfect schedule. She’ll wake up in the morning, drink her coffee, get ready for work, go to work, eat after work with friends, go home to her crazy koreanovelas (she started it all), she’ll bug me and I bug her (or maybe it’s the other way around), then she’ll go home with her bottle of coke, then watch more koreanovelas in the evening. I’ll even tease her sometimes since she’s always in a hurry to go home to watch them. Those stories made her laugh. It made her smile. It made us happy. Nonetheless, she was one of the greatest gifts I received from God. She was my greatest companion among all other things and God knows how much I miss her. From being my guardian, to being my buddy, to being an angel in heaven who watches over me… I know she’s looking after me. Although I failed to say how much I loved her and appreciated her, I know she knew and felt it. I am happy to know that she no longer feels pain, no more schedule to follow, no more follow-throughs on medication. I wanted her to be happy as she wanted me to be. Now I can say as a teardrop roll down my cheek and my lips curve into a smile, that she will always be here in my heart and mind. I will continue to go to the places we said we’ll visit and eat the food we’ve never tried and always dream bigger than what we’ve achieved. This I owe much to her, to believe in myself and to listen not to anybody else but myself. To trust myself and my heart with the wholeness of me and to share what and who I am to those who loves me. No one will ever replace her… the coolest gal among the three… I miss you ‘ba!

hello

Your simple hello brightens up my day,

lightens up mood and

puts a smile on my face!

How I wish that you can say hello every day,

every hour,

every minute,

every second,

and everytime you are not with me…
