C-Razy ideas!

This picture was taken sometime on  a very cold December night, 2002 in the eternal city of Rome, Italy. It was a great experience to be in a magnificent place! The building at the back of me is the Emmanuel II Monument, in honor of the first king of Italy: Victor Emmanuel II. It now serves as the Tomb of Italy’s unknown soldier. 

I’m blogging about it now ‘coz it popped out of my mind just a few minutes ago. Thus, sweet memories came  rushing in as if they were bursts of forcefull heartbeats unstopable with nothing but reminiscense.

And this is how it looks during daytime. The entire edifice stands boastfully amidst the ancient Roman style of Architecture, in deep contrast with each other, with its bright immaculate white marble shimmering against the illuminating sun, fronting the great Palazzo Venezia (plaza), when Venice was still Rome’s own State. This building was used as the embassy of venice.

I would like to thank a very dear friend who was with me all the way from the time he fetched me from the airport then toured around the great sites and buildings and sending me off for six (6) fun-filled days and nights without whom my stay in Rome wouldn’t be as interesting, lively, exciting and as wonderful as can be… not to mention, unforgetable! Thanks so much!

 Hello pangga’… musta ka na !

mingaw ka? ako sab

Gusto ka, ,magsestorya ta?  okay lang

Maayo na aron kita magka hinangupay…

Ikaw, unsa pa man imo gusto?

sa bisan unsa nimo nga kahidlaw.

Kung buot sa kapalaran

Ug sa tanan pa nga mga katuigan

nga sama sa gihapon

Tranquill… calm… soothing as can be

thy golden color illuminate fully

mind at peace… the heart murmurs

here for you always and forever more.

Though hurting and aching, rest thy soul to thee

for tommorow won’t be the same as it was yesterday

now, together i shall but want thee

be yours eternally.

Special, it might not seem… thy lovely  hues sprinkle

like thoughts of thine within… hovering swiftly to mingle.

Rainbow bits abound… tiny ringlets masquerade around

but thy mind is unpigmentedly pure… caressing thy brain for more.

Fly… float… go swiftly dear butterfly

for once you are not in captivity

but rather beneath thy master’s  bosom.

  My dearest… my darling… my confidante… This is for you.

Thank you for the warm hugs you’ve bestowed upon me.

Thank you for the sweet thoughts you’ve given me.

Thank you for the undying moments i’ve had with you.

Thank you for showing me the little things in life.

Thank you for the care you have given me.

Thank you for allowing me to feel tight caresses 

Thank you for cuddling me so tight, i won’t forget that

Thank you for the sweet kisses

Thank you for sharing with me your inner thoughts

Thank you for opening up with me your deep dark secrets

Thank you for adjusting with my tantrums and what-have-you

Thank you for coping up my darker secrets

Thank you for bearing with me life’s unwanted ills

Thank you for your immeasurable LOVE

and lastly , but certainly not the least…

Thanks for coming into my life!

Ano ba talaga ang isang KAIBIGAN…? sige nga tulungan nyo po ako.

Di ba, yung magkasama kayong kumain maski paminsan-minsan?

yung palagi kang magka communicate both ways?

yun bang magsasabi ng totoo, kahit ano ang mangyari?

yung pag kasama ka, hindi ka iiwan?

yung bang pag malungkot ka, saka  siya mag comfort sa yo?

yun bang kapag may plano sya, ma-inform ka rin?

yung ano, kinukunan ka ng access sa ano, sa calendar nya?

ano yan?

Hello! or is it Hi?

I know, i should not say it here
I would have emailed you there
and you must be confused
whether this is the truth.

To say the least, i’m a bit derailed
For these unkind words bared
but what the heck
you need to be pecked.

Oh my dear one
my lovely mate
why were you treacherous
when you should have been my soulmate!

Those times when we get to laugh out loud

times when we get to talk so fast

the times when you tried to tell a joke but i didnt get it but smiled

those times when you fill my world with love.. or was it?

times when we both share the oneness in our hearts…

They are gone now… gone with everything i cherished

gone with my deepest care and passion within me

gone with my dreams of getting closer and dearer

gone with the wind, they say.

It’s sad, trully sad

when i don’t see you anymore

when i can’t see you anymore

when i should not see you anymore

when i must not see you anymore…

when i would not be with you anymore

when i must not be with you anymore

when i should not be with you anymore

when i can’t be with you anymore…

What’s left with life, huh

You should have cared

you should have sensed it

you should have listened

you should have shared

you should have LOVED.

  Amidst the confusions of life and the downside it brings, i’m hopeful this poem could ease up a little:                     

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Last night was dumb, totally clueless

Unforgiving heart… baren feeelings

What now…?

Lost soul, evil eyes… intricately woven

Undeserving

murky dreams

ill touch

NADA!
