My Fun Heart-shaped Diamond Ring, an old entry...

In my "old" battered hands, my beloved heart-shaped diamond ring stays :) With broken small bits and small pieces of true diamonds... For I've learned an important fact, the smaller the diamonds are, the cheaper it gets, laughs. And this is the only one that I can afford, this if you believe me, laughs. Diamonds are a girl's best friend they say, but they never mentioned the size, right? laughs. But guys for your sweetie though, buy them the biggest one there is. This is only my fun ring for I'm not really a "sucker" of jewelries. I only have my wedding band, my engagement ring, my crucifix pendant, my college ring and of course my red created heart-shaped ruby ring and this one, that's it...Just want to share with you my simple joys. Hope no one minds...:) Pls. click to enlarge image..."I LOVE HEARTS" for they mean life and love :>...pics taken, 2-25-07

does art imitates life or vice versa...

these hands are connected to my brain
these eyes do what it tells
this paint brush is guided by my brain
but it's up to you to decide
but it's up to you to derive
and better yet to guess
what's my art implies

is it true or is it a lie
is it there or is it not
is it wrong or is it right
my friend as one of my favorite writer writes
you can interpret it for whatever you like

for if it's true then
it will directly say to you
if it's a lie it's easy for it will turn blue
if it's hiding in paintings
if it's hiding in metaphors
you've guessed it my friend
it isn't true and
they just want
to play with you...

time is short, time is precious. pls. spend it wisely :) so does art imitates life? it depends on the painter, really. for a liar paints lies intentionally and vice versa :) and both works of art are called art no matter what, interesting isn't it? laughs. oh well...hope they sell as well, but i hope more moolah for the one who paints the truth :) yes, art imitates life not only sometimes but most of the times minus the lies, laughs. and life imitating art is more subtle like it should be a positive art for inspiration purposes...

plant shopping day :)

and buying cosmoses, ampalaya seedlings, tomato and pepper plants plus urugula, a salad staple favorite :) time to plant stuffs again for it will rain this week, i'm happy :> for gardening a little bit is a past time favorite...

let the music roll...

sweet and enchanting for awhile
soft scintillating like a cloud
warm and fuzzy it hits your heart
until it ends
until the melody
disappears
and silence
replaced
its spot

***

similar to a flower

that it fades

just like a life

that reached its peak

music and its melody

will come to an end

but the sights and sounds

will always be etched

forever in your head

until your one last breath

on your one last day on earth...

"a lone iris" painted by award winning artist Anita Wolff... like a flower we were born alone just as similar as we will all die alone..."Blue Spanish Eyes" by Elvis...dedicated to the brightest and most beautiful flower that I've ever met in my entire life...my virgin Mary look alike Spanish lady benefactor whom i visit always whenever i am in the Philippines. the least i could do for her unparalleled gift of education to a poor person like me :)

then my ipod will be in shuffle mode :) music is life and life is short and it comes to us only but once. so let's put a spice of music in it, the way we like it, the way we want it decorated and bundled with the melodies of our choice which i am doing here in my little space in this universe we called cyberspace. hope you've enjoyed my music. if not then you know what to do, this if you happened to be lost and landed on my blog, laughs. just click out for i certainly won't mind :) good day to all and god bless!

the politics of our time...

there are rumors going around that Obama will clinch that magic number needed to be the democratic presidential nominee tonight. if that so then i will conclude that:
1) money talks and walks...his campaign was well funded starting with Oprah's moolah
2) seniority and experience does not count plus intelligence as well
3) former president Bill Clinton must have alienated quite a bit of people that in spite of the trillion projected surplus in the budget when he left office which btw Mr. Bush had squandered and leaving this country with that same amount in deficit, what a contrast, with his positive accomplishments still Hillary is down, can't help his wife. although not that much down though for she is winning the popular votes meaning more democrats voted for her
4) no church for mr. Obama for he resigned. then who will give him that divine intervention to win
5) the audacity of hope indeed. as in your face challenge for John McCain for he will be announcing his win in the site of the future republican convention tonight. i hope his soaring ambition won't be dashed by this war hero comes fall, but i am not optimistic, for i don't think this country is ready for a black president with Muslim ties that's why he was against the Iraq war in the first place. his heart is somewhere else as well
6) and i hope Hillary won't accept the VP if he offered it to her bec. they will lose anyways
7) that ambition clouds common sense as what Obama is showing
8) i don't think Mr. Obama will be president although nice try. he needs to gain more experience, be the VP of Hillary that is more logical
9) that you'll wake up one day and the mirror will be telling you, you dreamed so high, now us will be suffering again bec. of it...and yes, it will be just a dream. America is not ready for a black president not yet, my friend and Mr. Obama will have to prove me wrong on this one comes November
10) i love politics but I'm tired of it now! it's obvious for too much ambition by Obama and under the table politics by the republicans voting for him had won for now. it will come back though, it will, this when Hillary will be the first woman president and it will happen :)
11) yes, only in America that one who is a junior senator can be considered as a front runner bec. republicans voted for him just so they will win handily in November, for they thought he is easier to beat than Hillary. that is dirty politics and somewhere sometime someone has to give...so good luck Mr. Obama for i think you will need a lot of it. but if you win this November then that is really an accomplishment and you will have my respect then, for proof first before anything else :) like trust, one needs to show that he can be trusted first...that's just makes sense...

so many plants so many flowers...

from top to bottom, all these presence are signs of paradise on earth, i love it! :>
