Be Watchful of Your Words...


Have you ever been insulted,
Or have you lost your self esteem,
Or been discouraged about what somebody
have said against you?

My dear friends,
words are just words.
But it's power gives greater pain
than being shot by a gun.
You may not agree but that's how I see it.

Words can be very painful that they
could leave scars that could affect your life
and carry it throughout the years.

I was hit by painful words.
Yes, once, twice and even thousand times.
But it's okay because I could handle things.
How about those the weak?

I know there were times that I've been harsh.
When my mouth utters words that are possibly painful.
But after each harshness were realizations
that what I did was wrong.
That it could cause someone to lose his/her confidence
that could of course affect his future.

Words could have different impact on someone.
They are powerful.
There are inspirational, there are killers.
They can kill someone who is not strong enough
to look at the other side of it.
On the other hand, they could inspire
someone to be successful.

I had been stoned by words a thousand times...
and a thousand times I lost my trust in myself...
after a few downfalls, I have stood up a thousand and one times...
those words became my foundation of who I am now...

It all taught me not to be too much attached to anyone...

INLOVE with EPL




EAT.PRAY.LOVE. Until now, I still cannot get over with this movie that I'm
inlove with. I've watched it twice already but I wanted to watch it again.
I want to have a DVD of it. The movie was based from the EAT PRAY LOVE
book written by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Few days after my 2nd viewing of EPL, my family went to SM to watch
movie. And there's this huge EAT PRAY LOVE board. Sad to say that
I didn't bring my camera so please bear with the photos as they're only taken
with my E63 phone...

EAT PRAY LOVE


Few weeks ago, I watched the first-night showing of this
wonderful movie, EAT PRAY LOVE... Oh God, I find myself so inlove with this
movie including its soundtracks...

I couldn't help but think a lot about it many times. I even looked
for the "Thums Up" Cola on the internet if it truly exist in India's
beverages and yes it is! Then I always remember KetutLiyer saying"See
you later, alligator." I really thought that line is only used here in the
Philippines. I was really amazed when Ketut used it! Hahaha... And one
more thing, I searched about the medicine man, Ketut. It is really true
that he exists in Bali, Indonesia as a medicine man. I wanna go meet him
if I would be visiting Bali in no time. I watched the movie twice
on big screen and will probably be watching it again when it's already on DVD
or when already available at my other sources.

Until now, I'm obsessed even with the soundtrack especially the "Attraversiamo"
by Dario Marianelli. And I even tried to learn few Italian words.

The movie has a huge impact to me. I EAT, PRAY, and LOVE too... in my own
ways though. ;)

Mc Arthur Hwy.

My Wish Right Now


while i was walking home,
i looked at the sky.
the sky is cloud-free.
yes, it is!
i could see the stars clearly,
shining so freely and brightly.
the moon is almost full in shape.

wow! i miss those star gazing moments...
at dawn with my father way back my province days...
at night with my neighbors during blackouts,
still way back province nights...
at the roof of my neighbor during college days...
at the roof of the house where i'm at now,
that was when i was still new here...
at the beach with my officemates,
that was during the christmas party two years ago,
while we're having our midnight swimming...
at hilltop celebrating pia's birthday until 12 midnight...
oh! how could i forget those star gazing moments!
waiting and counting falling stars...

how i wish i could just rush at hilltop right now,
of course with friends talking about nonsense...
or talk about serious thing in life.

that's my wish right now...

If Only


It's too late...
Did it ever happen to you?

The after realizing the chances wasted,
the words "IF ONLY" come out...
And there's no more second chances.
I'm pretty sure it happened to you...
I have just watched this movie, IF ONLY...
A man who loves his woman but he's too busy
that he couldn't find time to show it.

When one day, his woman got involved in a terrible accident and died...
Fate miraculously intervened and gave the man a second chance...
I have tons of IF ONLYs in my entire life...
It's like I can't get over from something or someone...
Which leaves me the questions of What Ifs...

If that happens to you, what would you do?
If you're given second chances,
What will you do?

For some years ago until now,
I take most of the opportunities the world has offered me...
I appreciate everything I have...
I give time to anyone who asks for my time...
I appreciate every single second, every minute, every day...
Whether alone or with someone...
When I have nothing to do,
I give myself time walking alone somewhere,
enjoying every happenings within the surroundings...

Life is short...
We don't know if there'd be second chances...
Enjoy every minute of it...
Grab every opportunity of second chances...
For when death takes place,
There'd be no more chances for IF ONLYs....

If today is your last day to live, how will you spend it?

It Just Happened


i was waiting for my turn to throw the balls at a duck pin tourney...
i was just staring at the "not so shiny" bowling lane...
thoughts empty, eyes barely blink, body barely move...

when suddenly...

at a blink of my eyes i saw this guy...
tall, dark and i don't know if he's really handsome...
i think he's in mid-30s but he looks mature...
hah! i caught myself staring at him...
he's like throwing the balls in a slow motion...

and i told myself - it's him...
it's like him that i wanted...
i don't know if i would ever see him again...
but i have already figured out clearly who I wanted...
not specific but at least i know that i wanted someone like him...
i don't know him but i like the way he carries himself...

that kind of guy will really change me for sure...
oh, i might just be dreaming...
maybe i'm just hungry...
i would better hit the sheets now...
and dream of my guy... hahahaha

i just saw him... it just happened...

good morning!

Unsettled Soul



i am speaking in behalf of this unsettled soul,
housing in a human's body...


i am happy and at the same time in pain...

happy because ...
i am in a place i can now call "HOME."
i was able to spend time with the people i love.
i was able to fix a few hang-ups i've had with few people.
i have already found one of the few that i have lost...

now, i am happy but still there are missing pieces...
there are still hang-ups that this soul wants to settle...

this soul have tried to to reach out to someone...
someone who'd been a part of her past...
trying to do anything to reach out...
done what part to be done...
yet it seems it's never enough...

this soul will remain unsettled...
until the plead to speak with you is granted...

The Power of Music



do you believe in the power of music?
how much do you love music?

music to me is a medicine.
a medicine to every soul.
when somebody's happy, he sings.
when somebody's sad, he listens to music.

music has been my companion for like years already.
it helps me express my feelings.
my type of music depends on my mood.
i can go along with all types though.
mostly, i relate my life to it.
i might not be able to memorize each line,
but i appreciate music with good lyrics.

i always start and end my day with music.
on my way to work and on my way home.
or when i go anywhere alone.
when in a long trip or even at home.

when i want to praise God's goodness,
i listen to gospel songs and sing along.
when i'm asleep, i put my earphone on.
i can always relate my life to music.

i am a music lover.
music fills my soul.
i believe in the power of music.
