for awhile i played with you in the sand
its loose and fine sharp edges are constantly
tearing my socks, my socks that's filled
with heavy holes now is torn apart
as i walk and walk at that long stretch
of unending burning sandy shore
the birds can't even fly above for
the sun is cooking, the sun is ready
to boil the sea water at your front
you can't even swim and you can't even walk at the beach
the pebbles that you used to gather are all gone
taken and brought to be sold in some far away lands
as you searched for those colorful shells as well
not even one is left for you to put in your palm
to play with as the sun sets in the west
till the sun comes back again in the east
you were hoping and dreaming
that you are in another planet
in another time warp and in another space
but you can only dream
and dream and dream endlessly
and forever...
the enormous clean up effort mounted at the gulf of Mexico is paying some rewards. with 40,000 workers and 800 ships involved they say that the oil is almost gone...well hooray but how about the unseen oil underneath and the effects of the chemical dispersant that was used to break the oil up, we really don't know its long term effects to the sea, to the environment and to people...so not so fast yet. although the massive clean up effort that was done and is still on going is just amazing and truly great :) and finally after 3 months the oil leak is plugged permanently...it's long overdue and it took sooo long of a time...
and yes, i will be watching the miss universe this coming 8-23...for Miss Michigan is the current Miss USA competing for the crown and of course the beautiful Miss Philippines might have a chance to bag the crown so they say...it's been years since i watched this pageant. here in the U.S. beauty pageants are not really a must watch TV. Americans are not into beauty that much i guess for they pay attention more on the brain power of our ladies, laughs, just a guess :) ...and when will i ever quit blogging, i kept asking myself and even me don't even know the answer to this question, very sad really...but who cares :? i love blogging need i say more :> oh well. blogging is like that pink color to me, i like it, i love it and i can't live without it :)...and i hate black for it's a bad color, the color of death, the color of bad luck and sadness...with our lives so short i don't need any more black in my life to make it a lot shorter :) and no one can argue against that...as a proof that black is not happiness, just look around your life...well, our choice so we suffer...sorry but it's too late now, right? but that's life...the art btw is by the great master john singer sargent...
also Pres. Noy's annual salary is roughly the same as Pres. Obama's. the difference is in the currency's name. one is in philippine pesos while the other is in U.S. dollars...but presidents have some other means to get financial bonuses, i suppose :) that's why some spend millions just to have that job which do not make sense to some. plus the fame and that place in the history books, the ability to do good and serve your countrymen, the power to build and to inspire hope in people and the means to uplift a country in the direction that you deemed proper and wise... priceless!
