stumbled upon this one while private reading
behind one of NBS' shelves~xD

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with the golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

-W.B. Yeats

âA mother's love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breakingâ
-Helen Rice

1. I ran away from home dozens of times as a kid but she still keeps the door open when I get hungry and decides to come back.

2. As an April Fools joke, I made her believe that i was in a life-threatening accident and she had to cancel her business trip, contact all our relatives , traveled 150 kilometers in less than 3 hours with an ambulance and paramedics in tow just to find me comfortably sleeping in a hammock. And she didn't kicked me out of the house.

3. I practically wasted her money by shifting from course to course because i would it "boring" after a few months but still she tells me to choose what I want and finish my studies at my pace.

4. She would still send me cash everytime I get broke a week before payday.

5. I may not be the best son, heck Im not even a good son, but she still loves me anyway.

There may be a million more reasons, but this will be stretching for five miles if i have to name each of them, plus that would be too damn mushy.

Mom, I know I have never said "i love you" to your face (like what im doing right now), you know im too punk rock for that right? anyway, i love you Fenina Falla Foja.

PS:

and sorry if the only thing ive given you yesterday was a lousy phone call..i'll try to make up. ^^

You know when you dream of walking on the street half-naked?
Well I had the same dream...only it was not a dream at all.X_x

You see, im the kind of guy who really doesn't care much bout the way i look.
Ok, i may be overly vain sometimes, but most of the time, i just wear my hair as it is or wear anything i managed to get my hands on. So I wouldn't blame me girlfriend if she loved me for my personality more than my looks.^^

Anyway,
I woke up at around 6am today with a craving for...well almost anything since I forgot to eat dinner last night.
There's still some tuna spread on the fridge so I decided to got to the bakery for some pandesal.
I didn't bother to comb my hair or wash my face since the bakery is just a few meters away.
So i grabbed some change and headed out the door.

I was almost at the bread house when I felt a gust of wind..uhmm...down "there"...it was then i realized that i was only wearing my tiny mickey mouse boxers...

it's a good thing it was still early morn, so only a few people were on the streets...but still...
hmm..so that's why that old lady sweeping leaves was looking at me that way..

PS:

Audi's ballroom patch soooo totally rocks..err..swings.
It's the first time AudiPH featured english songs in their playlist and it's cool to actually be able to sing the song entirely while you're dancing it.^^ The Mexican/Spanish songs (who sounds like something from a brandy commercial) were nice too.

"Im not going in there to die, Im going there to find out if im really alive."
-Spike Speagel;Cowboy Bebop

It was last week that i heard the news of Tito Mads' untimely death.
At the age of 44, it's very surprising that he died from a heart attack considering that he doesnt smoke or drink and plays 2 rounds of basketball per day. When his body was taken back to his hometown Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro, I was talking to my cousin Shai asking about how his father died but she just told me, "all i know is that he was a good Christian, im not concerned about how he died but how he lived."

Amado Vallejos's life can be marked by one word..simplicity.

When Shai made it as the editor-in-chief of their school paper, no word was heard from Tito Mads about how proud he was..but he has been seen countless times reading the articles her daughter wrote over and over again even if it was way outdated.

It doesnt take much to make him happy..just a bottle of Pepsi will do.
During Sundays when Tita Ming, his wife, would ask him if he wants to eat outside, he would just tell her, "Wag na, bili na lang tau ng isang litrong Pepsi."

He was always young at heart.
His daughters Shai at 18 and Mariz at 17 doesnt have friendster accounts, but he has.
In fact, the day before he died, he came up to my cousin with a digicam and a rack of clothes asking for a "photo shoot" for his friendster account. It's sad that he met his demise before he can look at his pictures on his Friendster profile.

He struggles when people hug or kiss him...and it was only in the few minutes of his life that he no longer had the strength to push away his daughters when they gave him a tearful hug.

Surely, you shall be missed.
see heaven uncle..

âToo often we are so preoccupied with the destination, we forget the journey.â
-Anonymous

I lurve travelling.
It's very relaxing to view distant sceneries and people going through their everyday lives while going at around 40kph.
But if there is one thing i lke more than bus rides, it would have to be travelling by sea. (Unfortunately, i haven't experienced a plane trip yet)

The skies were clear on my trip home to Mindoro last night, perfect time to go stargazing on the ship's roofdeck.
A cup of coffee on my hand, a pack of cigarettes on my backpocket and the distant lights of batangas city on the horizon..things dont get any better than this.

Normally my train of thoughts would go around cute girls, songs on my head, current "missions", storylines im working on, strategies for Dota and Tekken6, and a bunch of trivial stuff. But last night, I was thinking way beyond the boarder..and into...the political and economic status of the country..it went something like...

"Kung sinasabi ng gobyerno na patuloy ang pagtaas ng piso kontra dolyar dahil sa gumagandang ekonomiya, bakit patuloy ang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga pangunahing bilihin?
Ang totoo..hindi naman talaga tumataas ang piso...bumababa lang talaga ang dolyar.

So anong dapat gawin? Sabi nila Industrilisasyon ang sagot..mas maraming trabaho, mas mabilis ang paglago ng ekonomiya.
Pero ang katumbas naman nito eh ang pagkawala ng mga lupang sakahan dahil kelangang pagtayuan ng mga pabrika...ang resulta, ang dinaranas natin ngaung krisis sa bigas.

Pero palagay ko, ito rin talaga ang gustong mangyari ng gobyerno..
Kasi nga naman, pag may ganitong krisis mas madali para sa kanila ang mangurakot.
Kaya nga sa halip ng ayusin nila ang mga patubig sa sakahan at pagbibigay ng mga lupa sa magsasaka, pag-aangkat ng bigas ang mas tinutuunang solusyon ng pamahalaan...mas madali kasi kumuha ng kick-back sa ganitong paraan..."

And before I can ramble on in my mind..a siren broke out, signalling that we have arrived at our destination.

I arrived home to find out that my family's still out of time and I have the whole house to myself...cool.
But first I have to catch sum Zs...

PS

I was reading the game manual of "Kingdom Hearts" for the ps2.
And I found out that Sephiroth there was voiced by Lance Bass who happens to be the "happiest" member of the defunct Nsync.
Hmmm....that may be the reason why the one-winged angel likes long swords and silky hair.XD

Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.
-Solomon; Ecclesiastes 1:18

I now declare that i know too damn much for my own good.
I finally understand why some people say that "ignorance is bliss"

You see, even though im really the apathetic type, it's hard to ignore what's going on when you see your friends acting stupid.
and as much as I would like to speak out, my vow of secrecy hinders me.
so, i wait for them to figure it all out for themselves and just do my part as a "shock absorber" for all of them while they continue their game of lies and deceits.

------------------------------------------------------------

People say that I've been looking stressed out lately and I've been noticing that as well.
well with all the stuff you see on the evening news coupled with the searing heat of summer, who wouldn't be stressed out?

man, i really need a break.
mindoro...home....one week?
yes.

"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you."
- Winnie the Pooh

its been years since two empty chairs, and Chad Kroeger, has intertwined our paths to form a bond that changed our beliefs regarding friendship.
i know we haven't shared a beer or two for the longest time and it's been quite a while since we swapped stories (which is mostly composed of gossips) over a cup of tea by the rusty swing, but tomorrow has its reasons to keep smiling.

twenty-one...^^
and it seems like i'll be receiving my wedding invitation sometime soon hahahaha...time sure flies fast. and who knows, in a few years i'll be kicking your son's ass after i found him hiding in my daughter's closet.XD

anyway,
just wanna wish you the best in everything..health, ministry, family, lovelife, job, and everything else.

in bad times,

and in worse times,

worry not, i'll stick aroung till the smoke clears.^^

Happy Birthday Bestfriend

â'Tis healthy to be sick sometimes.â
-Henry David Thoreau

It's been months since my antibodies had some real action and we were beginning to think that no viruses or germs can take us down.
But just when you say to yourself "Im the friggin' G in OMG!", You catch a cold and you're down for the count.

guess im still human after all.
dang.

Although independence has its perks, you forget all of them when you struggle to get up to prepare breakfast so you can take your meds because nobody else will do it for you.
And even if sneezing can be cute sometimes, doing it 5 times per minute while coughing your lungs out can be a bit annoying.
Worse of all, I CANT EAT ICE CREAM. I can almost hear the sun's mocking laughter.

oops...time to take my placebos.
