Merry Christmas!

"Whenever I see girls and boy selling lanterns on the street, I remember the child in the manger as he sleeps..."

This are the famous lines that I always get to hear every time my dad plays a Christmas song when the calendar reaches its "-ber" month. I have been listening to this same song for the past years and I still never get tired of it and whenever I heard of this song no matter where I am. It reminds me of home. Home a word that makes my heart flutter and warm. Home a word that rings happiness to my ears.

Home the most perfect place to spend Christmas together with your loved ones which I whole heartily agree. This are one of the things that I enjoy doing the most. My family and I loved Christmas. The days passed so very fast and now it's FINALLY HERE! 

Just before Christmas

Happy Holidays to each and everyone! 

Christmas is here and I'm pretty sure that this post of mine will be posted and will be read after Christmas and I'm right. Fufufu

Anyways, what did you do during your holidays? Did you enjoyed it as much as I do? Did you went to other places to spend the holidays? Did you receive a lot of presents for this year? 

On my end, I didn't expect anything but I was utterly surprised by the gifts that I received. Size and prize doesn't matter to me, as long as it is heartily given I'll gladly accept it with open arms. Speaking of which, It all started when my TL from work gave each of us, her members, a cute and simple tokens namely a coin purse in various designs. I, on the other hand, picked this cute lollipop designed purse, the first gift I received for this year.

Christmas is in the Air

Christmas is in near and I can almost literally smell it in the air. 

Question is...can you?

The Glow

Ever since I was a little girl I've always dreamed of being a princess. To find my Prince Charming one day and the idea of "Happily Ever After". I can say that this mainly the influence of watching too many Disney movies which I grew up with.

I can still remember the time, when my mom used to play "The Little Mermaid" on beta-max, she would left me sitting there watching while my mom would continue doing her unfinished task. Since then, I have always been a huge fan of Disney movies, in fact, I still am. Many years have already gone by and I still watch it whenever I have the time, just to relax, reminisce, cry, fall in love and have hope. This always manage to give me a boost whenever I feel down. For each movie, for each story, there's always a lesson to learn and thoughts to ponder.

But, do you know what I love about most of Disney's movies aside from their stories? It's their songs. ^_^ It has a lot of feels and majestic each in its own way. I hum and sing those songs whenever I feel like it.

Speaking of feels and majestic, here's a song that I just recently heard which made my day and made me glow.

The Glow 

by Shannon Saunders

......

We are a princess in each in our own way, we don't need a tiara for that to happen. We just need to believe in ourselves and trust in our hearts. 

Throwback: Friends through and through

Tifa: Eh? She's calling
Mau: Keep smiling you guys Mac's about to take the shot.
Cherry: She's really calling. Shall we answer?
Tifa: No! Don't
(Cherry went ahead and swiped the screen)
Cherry: O.o the lock isn't working
Me: What are gonna do? it's  not ringing anymore.
Mau: Just keep smiling and be natural. Oh he says ready! cheese!

I miss this. ♥

Who would have thought that what we thought was an eminent down pour of rain turns out to be a ray of sunshine?

Sunshine in both the physical sense and the abstract sense. How wonderful must that have felt. I, too, am glad that I have a ray of sunshine with me. A sunshine that still glows even the sky is somber. A sunshine that when you feel cold, you'll be enveloped with warmth inside and out.

Thats what my friends are to me, a ray of sunshine. Bright, alive and real.

I miss this.

I miss them.

Let's do some of these next time guys.

Mockingjay

It's the first day of December everyone!!!

What a good way to start the holidays other than by reading a good ole book. Oh, not just any book but The Hunger Games. I did mention that I was rereading them and did a synopsis to the last two in honor of the Mockingjay movie, didn't I?

Uhuh! Good memory you guys! so without further ado here's the last book of the best-selling series.

......

In the last and final installment of the The Hunger Games Trilogy.

Can we still say the odds are never in their favor?

We shall see...

Now, that there is no more District 12.

.......

Upon learning that there is no more District 12, Katniss struggles her life in District 13 as she struggles in this new place and holding herself knowing that Peeta is in the capitol being held captive  Through her act of defiance the whole districts of Panem had now fully rise to a rebellion. Feeling somewhat manipulated as the fire who started the uproar , Katniss reluctantly agreed to be the "Mockingjay" (the symbol of rebellion) with conditions. 

She wants Alma Coin, President of District 13, vows to grant immunity among all Hunger games Tribute including Peeta who had previously made a propo (propaganda) to have a cease fire which made the people in 13 angry and deemed him traitor and most but not the least, she gets to kill President Snow.

A rescue team was sent to the Capitol to rescue the captive tributes as President Coins word after witnessing Katniss upheld her own. What seems to be a heartfelt reunion between her and Peeta turns out to be one excruciating reunion. Peeta didn't think twice of attacking her and claiming to her to be a mutt.

Torn, hurt and humilated Katniss shunned Peeta to the point of avoiding him and treat him with hostility.

In this last installment a thrilling and action packed adventure awaits.

What will Katniss do now that President Snow is on the hunt to make sure she's dead.

What will President Coin do in order to get what she wants?

Will Katniss and Peeta grow back together?

Will she know who the real enemy is?

And this time for sure...Will the odds be in her favor?

......

" I think...you still have no idea. The effect you can have."

Throwback: Tripping

Back when we still have black and long hair. *sighs
Eating at KFC after work. ;D

It's raining cats and dogs. The sky looks dark and ominous. The atmosphere is rather heavy. I bet most people would complain and feel down because of the weather. Still look on the bright side, at least the trees and plants can have much water as they can not just blazing sunlight.

Anywho, it's Thursday again and you know what that means right?

For this week, its all about "Tripping". Tripping for what? Well, Me and my friends really love to eat. We've been to many places already. It's like an adventure for us be it be Food chain hopping (is there such word?) or just spontaneously go somewhere we've never been before so long as its f.o.o.d. 

One of my friends who happens to like food is Tifa-chan. I guess it we eat almost once or twice a week in different fast food restaurants that can be found within our working vicinity.  Sure, it's not healthy to make a habit out of it, but, what can we do? Our tummy's were grumbling and that's the closest place we can go to. 

(excuses, excuses, I know. kekeke) 

It's not just all about the food you know, food is a major part of it I admit but more or less its the bond, the laughter and memories we share with each other that's why we sit down, relax and of course eat until we're full. Both our tummy's and our hearts. 

All for One and One for All: The Hardcore Team Building Part 1

All for One 

and 

One for All!

This is will be our motto for the day.

WE are HARDCORE!

It's been 3 weeks since the first ever team up of both A.M. and P.M.  Hardcore Callan shifts for their first ever team building (why am I excluding myself? Hah!). Planning this outing is not an easy matter, there are a lot things to consider from food budget down to transportation (whew!). Let us not forget the tons of inevitable circumstances that occurred. There even comes to a point that we almost didn't pursue our planned itinerary due to some well, shall I say  circumstances? (Let's not get into specifics, agreed?)

Nevertheless, a midst the up and downs. The bend and curves. The straight and swirls. We finally manage to see eye to eye and the long awaited team building has finally come into a reality. (three cheers!)

Throwback: The Originals

It's another Thursday morning! and you know what that means? Another throwback!

Time sure does flies so fast, doesn't it?

If you don't pay close enough attention, you wouldn't notice that it has been what? a week? a month? year since then? 

That sure does happen to me, stopping to think how long ago was it since then. Then I started browsing through my old photos and finding some good ole pics that brings back a lot of memories...good memories. That surely made me smile.

To Team Gahi's first eat out ever featuring "The Original" cast ;)

At Music One from left to right: Ms. Nice, Ms. Aj, Ms. Jelly, Ms. Ian, Ms. Lee,
Yours truly, Ms. Mayu and Ms. Jonah

Though others may have chosen a different path, they're still part of the team though not physically at least within.

Goofing around sounds way better ;D

Till we meet and get together again Missus!

Team Gahi then and now...rocks!

Catching Fire

Can't still get enough of the first book?

Why wait when you can grab a copy of the second book and start reading? In my case, I've already done it. No matter how many times I've read it. I still swoon and sigh every time I came across that part of the book. I'm not telling you what it is. It's for me to know and for you to find out. Fufufu.

If you're truly curious about what happens next, you better start reading. You already know that I tend to give some sneak peaks about almost every book that I've read. Hmmm...if it's not a sneak peak then a synopsis (Aren't those two words one and the same?) I'm going to continue to do so until the future.

So buckle up as I give you the book's much awaited synopsis of Catching Fire:

.....

The story opens after Katniss and Peeta won the 74th Hunger Games and became the District 12 victors. Deemed as the Star cross lovers of the capitol, both of them looked at each other's eyes as two people who were deeply in love with each other and cannot live without each other. In Peeta's part it's all real but for Katniss, everything is all but a show she needs to put up in front of the capitol, which the former soon realize with a heavy heart. Without facing the cameras, their relationship becomes awkward and soon enough have nothing much to talk about. 

In every games that had won, there's a "Victory Tour" for the victors to visit each districts fallen victors. Katniss, however, had her first visitor unexpectadly and it's none other than President Snow. His visit is to express how disappointed and angry he was with her for breaking the rules at the last Hunger Games (there must be only one victor in every game but due to Katniss's act with the berries defying the capitol to give them their victor, she and Peeta lived and became the first two victors of the same district) Not pleased with her, President Snow told Katniss that by doing so she incited a rebellion from other districts.

In order to defuse the "fire" that she created Katniss must convince Snow that she meant really no harm that she only did that to survive. A deal was struck between the two. Katniss is determined to do what she was told to save the people she love and cared for.

But what happens when it goes wrong?

What will she do now that the Quarter Quell is coming?

What would she if the 75th Hunger Games is also coming up?

Will her estranged relationship with Peeta mend and continue to act as Star crossed lovers?

and what's worse can Katniss diffuse the fire that was catching?

Throwback: When we met...

THEN:

Do you still remember this? ;)

This is my first throwback ever since the word "throwback" became so widely popular.  This picture was taken three years ago on July 29, 2011. The first cosplay event that I have attended together with my college best friend Rhea Mae Davis a.k.a choi. 

The mall was full packed, I even got lost for a bit, that's how crowded it was. But my best friend caught me by the arm (thank God for that) and pulled me out of harms away. Or so I thought. ;) 

QQE Halloween 2014

One day...

One event...

Ready...

Set...

Boo!

......

Every 31st of October, we get to celebrate and have a scary-fic time of our lives here in QQEnglish. Lets not forget, this year also happens to be (other than the occasional costume party) the time of the year in which we get to be someone we're not all because it's H.A.L.L.O.W.E.E.N. Oh yeah!

The Hunger Games

Hello... hello... hello... how are you?

I haven't been blogging for quite sometime now for a very good reason. I have been pretty busy lately with a capital B. Also to be perfectly honest, I haven't done anything new so that case is close. I'm much too preoccupied these days to even think of something--well, new ;). B-b-but, there's one thing that I am most certainly giddy about and cannot wait for it to be shown on the cinemas this coming November. That's none other than: Tan-da-da-dan...drum rolls please...

The first part of Mockingjay! 

Hooray!!! hooray!!! * behaves oneself Anyways, while waiting, I reread the trilogy again to refresh and relive the moments *sighs. I've been hooked about it ever since I saw the first movie back 2012 and me, well--being me, cannot wait for the second movie to be aired the next year as a result, and I meant it in a very good way, the bookworm in me decided to buy the whole set. :D Yep, me and my babies. Oh, yeah!

That is why I'm enjoying every page as I reread it again.

For those who haven't seen, lest read about it, here is a little bit of the synopsis. I hope you'll find it interesting and enjoyable as much as I did. (^_^)

......

"May the odds be ever in your favor"

......

......

In the post apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. The Capitol, the country's highly advanced city took control over the rest of the nation. Every year, the capitol will hold an event in which one boy and one girl will be chosen in each twelve districts as a representative known as "tributes". The Hunger Games is a punishment for the past rebellion against the capitol in which the 13th District has been destroyed. They will fight each other into the death until one winner remains which they call "Victor."

Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist in the story lives in District 12, where the story begins, a coal rich region. During an annual reaping, an event in which the tributes are chosen, Katniss sister, Primrose, just reached the age of twelve, was chosen as tribute. Fearing for her sisters life, Katniss volunteered instead, making her the first volunteer in her district. Her male counter part tribute was Peeta Meelark, a baker and her former schoolmate. 

They were both taken to the capitol together with the previous drunken victor of District 12, Haymitch Abernathy. For days, they were trained, judged, interviewed and living like a celebrity for a short while. But that doesn't stop the lingering truth that they will all end up killing each other in the arena.

The clock is ticking for Katniss. 

How will she survive in the game?

Can a betrayal hurt her spirit?

Will a spark of love ignites in this deadly arena?

and 

Will the odds be in her favor?

......

In this exciting, thrilling action pack book by Suzanne Collins you will surely don't want to put the back down. Now, that the first part of "The Hunger Games" was already released maybe this is also the time for you to reconsider and watch it. To find out whether the movie or book is in your favor or not. ;)

"Happy Hunger Games!"

Agua Villa Resort

Welcome...Welcome to...

AGUA VILLA!!!

......

Agua Villa Resort is located in Panalipan, Catmon, Cebu. An hour drive from the city (if there is no traffic). It's easy to spot on since it's just beside the road. The house was fully furnished and tidied up, not to mention you have it all to yourselves and can use all the amenities minus the television of course. Hah!

This is the place were my team mates and I decided to spend our much first team up for team building.

Rein your horses for a second, I am not going to talk about *that in here. This post is solely for the place, no other. Just be patient and we'll get there in no time. ;) 

For the meantime, let us all focus all our attention in here. My apologies beforehand for I only manage to get a little bit of pictures for the whole place. 

Anywho, let's start our tour shall we?...

HARDCORE team 

welcomes you to Agua Villa! :D

7 Lovely Logics to Live By

We had our group team building last 24th and 25th of October at Agua Villa, Catmon. The place was good for team outing or gathering. It has a nice view too. But, I won't be talking about that. That topic would be for an entirely different post. 

This time I am going to talk or rather share some of the quotes that I had found in the villa that we lived in. Since the house has plenty of them, this one (and their are others too) caught my attention. As, a good blogger who haven't had any posts lately (sorry bout that), thought this is actually a good comeback of the sort. 

Anyways,  here are the seven simple logic that is true in its simplest ways:

......

When I read this, I was smiling to myself and wondered how true it was. 

Question is...

Do you agree?

Daddy's Little Girl

Hey there! 

It's been so long since I blogged about books. I know, I know, you sort of missed me. Just so you know I haven't had any interesting books to read for the past few weeks (or was it months?). What can I do? Anywho, I have managed to bid my time into rereading one of the works of my favorite writer--- a thrilling suspense novel. Yeah, I just don't read pure romance and the like you know, I dig this kind of genre too. ;)

Without further ado, here it is.

......

Gabrielle "Ellie" Cavanough was seven years old when her fifteen year old sister Andrea, was murdered. It was Ellie who found Andrea's body and led her parents on their secret hideout , the place where Andrea and her friends secretly meet.

It was Ellie who was blamed by her parents for her sister's death for not telling them the secret hideout the night her sister Andrea was missing and it was also Ellie's testimony that convicted the wealthy Rob Westerfield to prison for twenty-two years.

Twenty- two years had passed, Ellie was all grown up and  now works as an investigative reporter for a newspaper in Atlanta.She has done everything to stop the convicted Rob Westerfield's approval for parole. Determined, she went back to her old hometown to dig some uncovered stories about the man who claims to be innocent.

What will happen when she uncovers another horrifying fact?
And with each discovery she made, she became closer to desperate killer who wants the past buried.

With this thrilling work of Mary Higgins Clark you will left this book unputtable in every page.

Nerd

I entitled this post NERD for two reasons: One, the word nerd means a person who studies hard and Two, I happen to like the word.

CROP it up

Dark skies and lightning flashes into the sky, as I ventured myself into some expected and unexpected kind of scenario. In an event that is all-in-one, I might have considered that night as one my busiest day. One, I have to be a gracious hostess for my cute little nephew's second birthday and two, I have to do what a girl's got to do. ;) (you know what I mean)

We, Puffed Cheeks

One of the things that I do when I have so much free time in my hand is to check other people's blog, more precisely my best friend's blog. fufufu. Upon, browsing and browsing of her old post, one of them caught my attention. It had a similar aspect to it as to the one I did before. So, I can't help but to post it here. 

"Curiouser and curiouser." said Alice to the rabbit.

- Alice in Wonderland                                       

As of this moment, you're getting curious just like Alice.Before I give it away and before you give such violent reaction, may I remind you that this post isn't what you think it is (I don't know what you're thinking but I hope we're on the same page on this one ;) ) This is simply just a simple get together of two simple pictures of two simple individual beings. (There's so many simple in this sentence. kekeke.)

In retrospect of us---- puffed cheeks ;)

This is from here♥

And this came  from here♥

Hmmm...it seems like great minds do think alike. Aye? ;D

Liebster Award

I have never expected this. Of all the things that I have considered, this was not one of them. I just got myself nominated for an Award!  For that, I would like to thank Mau Sarcon from Mau Sarcon for nominating me. (*bows) Don't forget to check out her blog alright? You'll be surprise. I already told her this a hundred times and I'm going to tell you now. This girl is a multi-slashie if you want to know what I'm talking about then check her out. ;)

Kuroko no Basuke

It's been a week since my last blog post. I've been wondering what to blog about and considering I'm pretty much bored these days that I simply don't know what to do. 

Then one day, I was rummaging my box of DVD's when I came across, one of my favorite sports related anime. Mind you, I'm not much of a fan when it comes to this kind of genre, with a few exemptions of course, namely, Slam Dunk and Prince of Tennis. This is an addition and thus, also an exemption.  The title is Kuroko no Basuke (The Basketball which Kuroko plays).

Now, If you're a basketball fan or a basket ball junkie you'll surely like this. As for me, I belong to the former. Kuroko no Basuke is a Japanese manga turned anime due to it's popularity. So far, the anime already have 2 seasons. The anime's first season was run last 2012 with 25 episodes and the second season was released just this year having the same 25 episodes. I'm still anticipating for the third season. :D

......

Now, lets go to the plot.

Basketball is such a popular game that every school competes as to what team and school is the best. Among those school, Teiko Middle School rose above the rest and their regulars became so popular known as " The Generation of Miracles". After they graduated, these five prodigies went to different high schools with a top team. However, only few knows that there was another player of  the "Generation of Miracles". A player that they themselves acknowledge--the phantom sixth man. Now this mysterious player is now also a fresh man at Seirin High. A new school with a powerful and little known team. Now, Kuroko Tetsuya, the phantom sixth man of the "Generation of Miracles" together with his new team mate Kagami Taiga, a naturally talented player who spent most of his middle school in America are aiming to bring their school Seirin High to be the top of Japan and for that they must take down his former team mates the "Generation of Miracles" one by one.

......

I'm currently both reading the manga and re-watching it's first season. It's really good. I can't sit still especially when Seirin (the name of the team which Kuroko plays) are  facing their opponent. As for you my dear readers, I'll give you a the plot of this story BUT I'm not going to say anything else. EXCEPT this, Kuroko is the name of the protagonist of the series, hence, the name.  If you want to know why---find it out yourself. Give this a try you might find it enjoyable and fun. ;D 

Here's another sneak peak...

Seirin High

Shutoku High

Kaijo High

Touou High

Yosen High

Rakuzan High

Who said?

One rainy day, when I was at a pizza house with my family. I was looking out from the glass window when I noticed a girl standing on the road . She wasn't bothered that she was drenched or that passersby would look her way. She just stood there clutching her bag, head bent down and completely motionless. That got me really curious you know, as to why she was acting that way. What's running on her mind and what she's feeling. I was still making some different scenarios in my head when she suddenly looked in my direction, I didn't know if she saw me or not. I just noticed that whatever she was thinking or have gone through she was able to looked up in the sky and smiled. And for the first time, she moved with confidence and satisfaction in the air. 

That's how this poem was made.I thought things like those only happens in books.Now, I know. And due to my curiosity and inspiration, I got the words right out from my mind and into the back of the receipt. Yes, I usually write random stuff at the back of a piece of paper. Here is how it goes.

......

Who said?

Who said anything about the rain so gloomy?

When all it does is to fall so endlessly.

Who said anything about the sky so dark?

When all it does is to stretch far and wide and even bends like an arch.

Who said anything about you hurting me?

When all you did was to love me unconditionally.

Who said anything about me leaving you?

When all I did was to wait for you so patiently.

Who said anything about me crying under the rain?

When all I did was to stand there, feeling everything but not pain.

Who said anything about you looking at an empty sky.

When all you did was to hold me under the glittering night.

Who said about us not having a happy ending?

When all we did was to love each other and starting a new beginning.

Who said?

Something Blue

It seems like it was just yesterday when my best friend and I did our first collaboration. Who would have thought it would be this fast to have the second one?

Where She Went

It's been three years since the accident.

Three years since Mia walked away from Adam .
......

When Mia went to Julliard three years ago. Adam didn't know that it would be the last time he'd see her. Three years had already gone by, Adam is now a huge rock star. Their band Shooting Star became phenomenal. Their album reach the number one spot on the charts. He has a beautiful model girlfriend and is living his dream. Or is he? For the past years, Adam was left hanging in the air with no reason or explanation why Mia left with one last kiss and never looked back. Why she never contacted him since then. Why she left him and what he did wrong. For years, he had kept his emotions under wrap and he never once again the same. All he wanted was to see her, even if it's just a glimpse but, that would be impossible.

If he could see her, he would need answers to all the questions that lingered in his mind. He would need explanations, if only he could see her. He would or would he? Adam has been burdened by a secret he had kept for so long. Only he knows about it. Or so he thought.

So what happens when their paths cross again in New York City? And this time, it was Mia who approached him first. With only a few hours to spend, what will they do? what will he do?

Will he finally ask the questions that has haunted him for years? 

Will he be able to hear the words he longs to hear?

In just one life-changing night will they be able to laid their past to rest?  Will both of them just move on for good? or Will they be able rekindled their first love and give it another shot?

......

If I Stay tells us Mia's point of view of her out of the body experience.

In this final book of Gayle Forman Where She went. It's now Adam's turn to tell the tale.

" Letting go. Everyone talks about it like its the easiest thing. Unfurl your hands one by one until your hand is open."

Pink and Beige

Its been constantly raining here in my country. The omnipresent dark sky makes one's mood shift from bright to gloomy. Even though that I know it rains at this time of the year, one can't stop being hopeful that it doesn't. Truth be told it makes me miss the rays of sunshine, but, it doesn't mean that I don't like it.

The Love I Prayed

Due to the poems that I have recently posted a lot of people have been asking me  whether if I'm inspired or in love. My answer to their query is this: O.o is that a big deal? However, my answer was not to their satisfaction because *clears throat according to them, my poems has somewhat have a meaning behind it, which is true, by the way. And for the nth time, my reasons are different from those mushy reasons they come up with. (-_-) Let. It. Go.

(-_-) Nevertheless, to keep your minds straight and sane; here's an answer to some of your questions: some of my poems were dated way way back during my high school days. While others, when I was in my university years. THAT, dear folks is not hard to believe so don't give me that look. Like I've said, these works of mine have been stashed up for a pretty long time and covered in dust!!!  Thus, I said to myself "Wouldn't be a waste to not share it to someone? or some people and be part of it even if it's just a little?" that's when I made a snap decision.

What do you think is the fastest means of communication these days other than the phone? Correct. The internet. So a little post of here and there and Viola! There you have it. YOU read my poems. :P

As to who and what inspires me to write, I guess that would be the people behind it or the weather that affects my mood. Feelings that can't be expressed. Movies, romance novels, songs, cheesy quotes... you name it.

Enough about my rants. Now that you know the reason. I have another poem I'd like to share to you guys. I made this for my college classmate named Marines Lecciones (*waves Hi te! ^O^) I hope you remember when you read this---someday! ^_^

......

The Love I Prayed

We were friends 

since we were kids.

The kind of friendship

we don't want to hid.

When I am sad,

you were there to cheer me up.

When I am down,

you were the one who pulled me up.

You bring forth happiness to me

in some ways you'll never see.

You made me feel special,

like no other girl could be.

A dear friend I am to you

but, you're more than a friend to me.

Through the years, these feelings were hidden.

Afraid that it might become a burden.

So long it was kept but 

I never once I wept.

I always enjoyed being with you

For never I time that 

I feel gloom.

Until such time,

I was about to give up.

You suddenly came to me so hurriedly,

hugged me ever so gently

And said to me out of the blue:

"Could you keep me so I won't feel blue?"

On the other hand, a lot of things are now on Ivy's plate. Her patching things up with her ex-boyfriend Will to convince him that her best friend Beth is acting totally different and she's not what they she is. Not to mention her  fallen angel boyfriend, Tristan is in deep trouble.

Running and hiding is what they must do for now. But then, there's a glitch above all these troubles. It is not only the police they must run away from now. For dark forces are also at work and will stop at nothing to get them. Leaving them both in great danger.

Memories

When one love is lost .

A new one is found.

......

Memories

My love for him will soon fade

cause his gone and far away.

I know my love for him will never be the same

even though he can't feel it in any way.

I won't steal back my memories from him

for I know he will feel blue.

I won't look back at the past, no more.

for I will put it behind me once more.

I  face the present and I found you.

You fill up my empty heart what once was blue.

My fears and tears vanished all the way.

for you are here with me to stay.

For some reasons, I'm no longer gloom

and I already feel the love that blooms.

Now, I face all the years with you

showing my love, totally just for you.

I do thank the Lord God

for he gave me a man who would proudly say "I'm yours".

A man who I truly adore.

And a man who will always love me...

Forevermore.

My Song

When spoken words are hard to utter. Let the words of the heart flow through and feel your heart flutter.

......

My Song

All my life I have been wondering 

if you could hear my heart singing.

A song that is actually made for you 

that came from my heart, it's true.

A song that is truly expressed 

within my soul's long existence.

A song that neither I can't hear,

but I felt it so dear.

A song that thought me to accept

every secrets that the world kept.

A song that sometimes makes someone pesky.

Is now a song that touches your heart heavily.

A song that kept on telling me the true meaning of love,

which has been sent to you from above.

A song that tells you how I feel

Cause for once, I, became so real.

So here I am to tell you that this song

is truly meant for you.

A song that came from my heart

saying the words "I do love you".

......

Thinking of You

Since I stumble upon my old collection of poems I have decided (without thinking too hard) that I am going to post it in here since I love to express myself by means of a poem. We may not know, what I have just written might actually be a mirror or so, to what you have felt. Albeit my amateur sentence construction is not that good. I still hope you'll find the time to read it. :D

Anywho, that's enough tittle-tattle. You go on reading. As for me, hmmm...maybe, just maybe, I'll start thinking of you. ;D

......

Thinking of You

I know I just met you but I can't remember when

with some reasons, my mind tries to find you then. 

And when all my troubles starts to mend

All I can do is to think of you, man!

In this head of mine I keep on reminiscing,

In a part that we are singing.

I always smile when I remember that scene

Maybe it's just the fact,

That I never turn my back where it all begin.

For some reasons, we do not consider each other close.

Yet, we smile and greet each other with a pose.

Funny how it seems like we've never met before

When just a snap!

We texted too long on the cell phone.

How glad am I to meet you!

For in some ways I'm no longer blue.

Because liking you is not that hard to do

Cause all I do is smile and think of you.

A "Cherry" on Top

Doesn't this day's title post sounds delicious?

I hate to burst your bubble but it's not about food. Not at all. The first time I have done this was for my best friend Mau (See here!) so I thought to myself, I would like to do this kind of thing again for my circle of friends a little tribute as I call it. I want to thank them--for everything. The list may be a bit long or a bit short, that I do not know until it's already settled, but, the important thing is even in my own little way I want to say "Thank you".

So let's draw the curtains and let the show begin.

On the Making

Well, well, if this isn't a little documentation in the making, if not, I have no idea what else to call it. Surely, Tifa-chan has many ways of keeping herself busy which includes this---- documenting my work or so she says.

 

It all started on a NOT so fine afternoon (shessshhhh) when most of the public transport went on strike due to some reasons (Seriously?!?Argghhh) and you know what that means? Uhuh! Yep. We're exactly thinking the same thing! Only few jeepneys and cabs are on the roll and I can almost literally count all the passing transport with my fingers. This. Cannot. Be. Happening. But it is!!! So I should go on with my life. 

Sad Good-Bye

My poetic side strikes again! And why is it that every time I try to make a poem it always happens in a very gloomy day? Is this some sort of a pattern or something? Like a trigger perhaps? Even so, this is what I do know, I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. When my poetic side comes it is something I cannot, repeat, I CANNOT just ignore. If you please, bear with me (^_^)

Here's a piece that has been stashed up for quiet sometime now. This little piece of mine also happens to reflect about my perspective after rereading one of my favorite books----"A Walk to Remember", which I know you have read or watched. I have blogged about it too. 

And now without further ado, let me take a minute of your time and read "Sad Good- Bye".

......

Sad Good-Bye

My love for you will never fade

yet you're led and far away.

My love for you will always be the same

though, you can't feel it in anyway.

I can't take the fact that you are gone.

Leaving me here sad and undone.

But, somethings tell me that I should never regret. 

Instead, I should be thankful that you and I met.

Though this would be the last time that I could see you,

Still my heart beats only for you.
