let's be GOOD to the bone :)

thanks for your visit :) i like this song, but it's better to change its lyrics though to "good" instead of the 'bad' laughs. and yes, that is the flower of celebrations, like fireworks...the powder puff in a SMILE pose :> my blog flower. it comes in a lot of different variations...ex. the flower of the "touch me not" or aka as makahiya in tagalog. and i named it myself...the flower of good times and of celebrations, like b-days or what have yous, laughs. so with this beauty...let's celebrate the most happiest of all times, Christ's b-day, this coming 12-25th :) and here's some tips on how to be good:

1) never make fun of fat people, bec. here's the question, are they making fun of you? look at yourself in the mirror first :) now the truth will set you free, laughs. help them instead, alright? and if you fail, like anyone even me, be glad for you did your part. after all, it takes two to tango and it is not your body or mouth solely that you can control it yourself, it is another person's foremost so... in short have pity for them :)
2) never say i like this singer or person better than that, laughs, for can you do a better job? i doubt it :)
3) hmn, what else, okay, never ever think that you are better off than others for most of the time they are better than you, laughs...so that sums it up, really...in short, be humble...God prefers you to be that :) and also while you're at it, give love and respect so that love and respect will be given back to you :) now happy holidays...(^_~)...also, your blog's name should be...JZ rules the cats, laughs, for you are NOT my ruler, it's JESUS, okay? laughs. oh well. let's not live in make-believes :) yeah, that's one other nice thing to be GOOD as well :> and pls. stop using people in your write ups? people are not dumb to figure things out, you know, laughs. i'd passed up a lot of things from you but making fun of people really is just making fun of your self actually...so there :) i still hope though that you'll have a nice holiday. don't let me ruin it for you. but in truth you are ruining it yourself in the process by putting people down. you are not the almighty you know and i'm pretty sure you know this, but only forgot. just a sisterly advice for i don't think i could be your mother age wise, laughs. oh well :)

the feast of our lady of guadalupe

http://www.catholic.org/about/guadalupe.php

http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=456

both a global celebration...and some fun stuffs :)

the birth of Jesus, our God and Saviour...and the coming of a new year...most of the time we ask HIM for something, but how about giving Him a gift instead this time? I will... and i hope you will too :) and yes, resolutions...mine is to limit my postings here for the time has come for that change, i know it's about time. hope it will happen for the world changes everyday and so is my mind as well. it has to cope with the times, but really i should stop for my reason to be here in this cyber world has been met. not unless i have to i will no longer be posting that much as if anybody cares for i know no one does, laughs. two years is a long time i think to be exposed in the world of unknown strangers that you've never met before in your life and i could only hope that most are good but sadly there are some that are not. but even then... to all... have a great Xmas holiday or season and an equally great new year as well...nice meeting you all in cyberspace :)

LOVE was born...

you came in a
very strange day
a king but born
in a pauper's way

out in the cold
and desolate road
no one gave a care
no one gave you
a room

in a stable so worn
over straws so torn
your body was laid
and born

lowly and humbly
here you are
as angels sing
under a bright
shining star

all the earth
rejoiced
for with you came
happiness, peace
and great joy :)

LOVE in this case is not an illusion...and btw true love is never like a fly that flits from shit to shit, laughs. it is eternal and never be rolled over by another love...it never uses and it never changes :) now good luck in finding that love for it is very hard. it is non-existent or if ever be it is very RARE :> you are lucky if you will meet one in your life time, but miracle happens and i believe in that :) and if you're that lucky I'll congratulate you and give you a big HUG, laughs. but please don't be so spoiled that you have to brag all over the world by opening your profile with your intention of telling to the whole world how lucky or astig you are, laughs. just drink and smoke it away with your friends the better alternative, laughs, the humbler way you know, or you'll learn as you grow up, bec. you might be very young and wants to slit one's throat...hmn, no violence please... for it is not allowed, laughs. oh well. yes, i just have to write this for it is very funny...open it up just to brag, laughs, then close it again afterwards, what a secretive and mean spirited persona? laughs, so the dress rehearsal is over? what's next? the tobacco smoke will burn the house? or it did burned already and the fire is put out, so the undressing is done and it's all but ashes now? :) well, the wise knows your intention. let's hope that no casualty will be done in your action for that is your intention any how...so many loves that you've played with and discarded and you are eyeing for another victim? the genius, your genius and another's genius, laughs. i don't know but be sure that the light is green not red, laughs. you might cause one heart to cry...this is just funny, so sorry for posting i can't help it...did i say that i will post every now and then from now on? this is it. and i don't blame you for being so cynical for no one knows what is in every one's mind except that person, her or himself :) hope i did entertain you, laughs. now i know i am a joy to you for i saw your face, laughs. thanks! again, happy holidays! :) i am terrible i think, yes i am. so sorry if i ran you over, but i am just telling my own observation, you know. hope you understand :) although pls. be forewarned that when you play you will be played upon at the end as well. life is a cycle and life corrects itself eventually sooner or later :) well, that's it for now, tsk! i just can't seem to win over my resolution, but it's not the new year yet, so...(^_~)...and yeah, right, your face is wondering who will have the genius at the end, laughs. the one who is deserving i may add, laughs. but who knows really, just the genius of course...so let's just wait and see, but adultery? how did that happen, hmn, that got me thinking but hey you know more than me that's for sure :) and motel, that is a place of sin and if you are not Judas you better get out of that place for your soul's sake...now soul, "if the rope that binds your soul is your throat i will slit it" i read that somewhere, hmn...like if the devil had captured your brain then it is now rotten so you don't have to put the candle out for it is already out in the first place being you lovin' the devil, the howlin', pukin' devil, so ergo you are the devil itself, laughs. warning, this is just a joke, a dark joke so...smile for you will need it. see, i am a serious person but when i start to go on the comedy side, anything can happen, laughs. even me, myself is entertained, no kidding, oh well...i am not good when this kind of things happen and i knew that, so i better stop now. not unless another observation comes along :) yes, i am a slave to comedy, can you blame me? i said life is a comedy and sure it is and you better believe that for you are reading it, laughs. good day, alright? and pls. don't let me ruin your day, it is not good for your health and i am sorry if i did that. but you are also to blame for being pikon if that is the case so i hope not, meaning you have more brain cells to counteract this and even you're not asking i do...okay, the fun stuffs will end here. if you did understand it, thanks. but if you did not then you will never will...(^_~)...and yes, here goes my minimal postings at the door. but still it may happen you know...really :? we'll see, laughs. gosh! my personal blog is getting nowhere i can feel that. at some point it has to end. when happiness is gone in whatever we do that is the exact time to quit :) but since life is a cycle of night and day, sunshine and darkness. all you have to do is wait it out for sunrises after sunsets, that simple. but will it bring you happiness, that is the question when you see that sunrise? for me, yes, it will... if i am at patar beach :)

dancing the new year the amorsolo way

your ways
are the jewels
that adorn my neck
your grace is
the opera
that puts me to
sleep
***
dancing near
your body as it moves
i feel the waves of the ocean
as it caresses me
my naked body
as i swam to the shore...
***
thinking ahead for a more glorious new year, it can never hurt you know...(^_~)...

the Immaculate Conception

art by Peter Paul Rubens, a Flemish baroque painter, was one of the great painters of his time (1577- 1640). His paintings show the intense religious strife of his times, and reflect his Catholic faith, illuminating Biblical history and Catholic dogma. Ruben's father was a Calvinist lawyer, but after the death of his father, Peter Paul was raised a Catholic and received his artistic training at an early age. He was a master painter by the age of twenty one. one of his notable work is the Immaculate Conception...the celebration where Mary was free from sin since conception, peparing her to be the chosen God-bearer. today is a Holy day of obligation...



the squirrel had ran
and climbed again
on top of the
sycamore tree

alone and playful
as can be
it's chubbier
and older
but hopefully
wiser now and
ever be

the cold and quiet
winterland
is a testament
to the warmth
that's gone

the bare and
barren branches
left overs from
the glory
that's over

life, love and laughter
are recycled
and remembered
sure it will turn over
sure it will be here
again
one more time
sometime next year :)

there... a happy string of words for a change, laughs... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TING! You have been a true BLESSING and a sure SMILE to all of US. WE LOVE YAH! let's make it to more than 100 :> well, I'd like to be there if i could but this pic in your place then should do :) happy partying, okidok?

and ting look closely at the red heart...your name and the beginning of mine which means love in japanese. what do you know...love, joy, music, verdi's opera to be exact :) an exiled ethiopian princess, wealth and helper (this is really very true, i am a helper since i was age 17. why, i was doing it and going to college at the same time, a working student, you can call that, but my tuition which was enormous was freely given, laughs. i was very lucky i wasn't kicked out on this very prestigious catholic nursing university, with that great wide garden space at the front, beautiful :> ...all of these are meaning, linked or related to my name, they say according to that book of names you know, laughs...okay, let me see...am i love? yes, to michael of course...joy? hmn, that's hard to tell for i needed to see your face first so i could tell if i'm a joy or not, laughs... music? hmn, half-half...for i like deep and unusual music, so maybe...and wealth? now that is a flat lie, maybe that meaning is for your name, laughs, but if i win the lotto here then okay, you will never know, right? miracles and graces given to you can happen anytime you know :)...so all in all my name is not as bad as i thought, laughs. again thanks mader :) oh well. but if i have to choose my name? it will be... airesol, of course...the air and the sun. can't live without them and that's for sure :> i really love my in- between brother to death. he is the greatest, the best and everything nice, laughs. we're very lucky :) again, enjoy your day ting :) a big MUAH! to YOU :>

a time for silence...

in music....it's the precise time when you're listening in silence and marveling at the piece itself...
***
SILENCE

no notes no melody
to adorn your ear
no chirping no singing
of a busy bird
or a buzzing bee

no words written
on a script
no voice no call
on your phone line
on your blackberry...

time has now come to slow down on my postings or rest not unless some important issues will come up and they needed to be resolved :) it has been almost two years of really nothing but unremarkable in this on line journal. my goal has been reached and with it comes satisfaction. maybe a poem? here and there or an update or two in between...that should do it. so as the year ends so with my entries, it will slow down. i thank everyone who visited here intentionally or not :) i wish you all the best in this coming holiday season, a very merry Christmas, a prosperous and a joyful new year and of course happiness in the coming years ahead. God bless to all :)

Our Mother of Perpetual Help

at the Baclaran Church and at the entrance wall of our small parish church here. if we put our trust in God, we will never be lost for He'll show us the truth and the way to the light :> it happened to me and it will be to you as well :)

psalm 62: reads,

http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/psalms/psalm62.htm

***

the amount of time that we are here on earth is just comparable to a very short journey...all of us have crosses to carry, our very own share of that cross that JESUS carried to redeem our sins. isn't that amazing that with our very own life's trials, travails or tribulations we are all in the process of helping Christ carry that cross and if we thought that we had it really bad in life all we have to do is put our eyes on that cross. for me it is very enlightening and a reminder sort of. my pain or suffering is nothing compared to His on that cross...

let's give LOVE on Christmas Day...

and light a candle of LOVE as well :)

always :) ...with red, the color of Christmas and heart the shape of love...

the yuletide season is here one more time. how many of us in this world do not get a chance to celebrate with Jesus this time around? the victims of the Indian massacre, the young soldiers who voluntarily went to serve for our freedom who lost the battle and hopefully none of your close friends and relatives is not celebrating with our Saviour, His day of birth. when you're young time is a plenty, you might thought. so time is not important to you but when you're in the middle of the road in life, time starts to come popping out in your mind. they say it is not the length of time that you have but it is how you made that time shine in your life. use it wisely while we have it and use it as if it is our very last chance to spend time on earth. what could be the best thing that we can do then? walk in a beach, walk in a forest, spend it with the old, the needy and the deprived, sit in a church, sing the best music, write the best poem, paint the best painting, or write the best story? but i think the best thing to do is to spend the last time of your life with the people that you love and who loves you in return...thank them for their time in showing you that they cared...and thank them in showing you that you are important to them...

O Holy Night...my ever favorite X-mas tune from the much disliked Mariah Carey by one notable writer, i remember clearly. but i love her take of this song, different, yes. unusual, that's why i like it and there's nothing like her voice in singing this lovely song. my ears are happy :>

and then for the spirit of the season i will play my favorite holiday tunes and the not so holiday ones in between...one by one :) as if you care, laughs. but you know what to do if you're not happy with my chosen melodies, click out what else, but... before you go...thanks for your visit, intentionally or not. again, still i'm very appreciative :>

pink gumamelas by an empty jar

pink gumamelas, blue flowers, birds, a butterfly, heart shaped leaves, an empty jar...interesting painted art. i love it :) pls. click to enlarge... for a much more beautiful take...titled "my favorite things" by the artist, hmn, mine too :)

the jar is empty

everything is ready
the full packed earth
with fertilizers and worms

the plants
of pretty flowers of colorful blues
and warm pink gumamelas
everything is ready

now
all in full bloom
but
the jar is empty

brown orange painted
shaped to shine
just
there's no flowers inside
just
there's no plants nor roots inside

nothing
to fill up
the space
nothing
to fill up
the void
of an empty room
of an empty vacuum

just
full of air
filled with empty
wasted space
enclosed
in a beautiful cage
of cold molded darkness...

my favorite things except the empty jar...it should be full soon enough though, my goal this year :) i am an ilocana, i speak ilokano although it's been a long time since my tongue had spoken this language. and i love ilokano songs..."bannatiran" one song that i still can hear in my ears even now, it goes...

Bannatiran ta dutdotmot kalilibnosan
Ta panggepmo dika patuluyan
Suminakan sadi aya't papanam
Sadno bannatiran ania nga kayo ti inka pagdisuan

Daydiay kayo nga agsabong ken ayat
Panawan man
Ay bayawyem ton kamaudianan
No ni liday ti matumpungan

Ania nga sabong ti kayatmo bannatiran
Ta uray awan pilit nga inka isapulan
Ta sika ti sarming nga paganninawan
Iti raniag da init ket bulan

i love it :> yes, i know i said i will lay low in blogging...eventually... i will, laughs. and the translation goes...bannatiran is a fictitious bird, the best of its kind...the singer wants to find this bird the best flower he wants, laughs. funny but good luck :) for it says even there's none the singer will try to find that flower for this bird, laughs. a contradiction...for no one can find anything that doesn't exist...just a waste of time i think. give that bird the ones that you have and let it choose...now if it can't find the one that it wants then let it fly and let him go and let him find it himself what he is looking for...bec. a bird imprisoned is one unhappy bird. you lose your freedom then what will become of you? depressed and sad, of course ...(^_~)...for our lives are like the birds, we should be able to fly and define our own course...it's ours, it's our own to make it happy or not :)

it took time

the trip was
a little slower
a little bumpier
but the sight is here
at last
it took forever
but the end is here
to pass

the zigzag road was
hard to drive
but the view
on top is nice
the twisted trip
is tiring
but now rest
is here at last

it took time
it took forever
but now you've
came to realize
that the road to
nowhere then
is looking
at your very eyes...

goodbye ART

www.danielneish.com/goodbye.htm

goodbye really
means hello
to a better life
for you

goodbye means
peace to the
inner selves we
keep

goodbye means
life is done
that part
of life that's
scratched

goodbye is
the door we pass
to a life of
reality
not faux...

the dripping tears of a flower

in pink and bursting in tears? what a sad name for a flower, bleeding hearts...now, please don't make a flower cry :)

the red robin
not surprisingly
burst out a
sad tune today
the ink was spent
no poems
were written
even a diary

a picture of you
maybe kept dangling by
for all to cast the shadows
beyond a leafless branch

gone are the hopes
of one sunny sky
gone are the dreams
of a starry night

emotionally deprived
of a lullaby
emotionally dry
emotionally barren
as red blood kept
dropping down...

laughs, oh well. i am really weird. but really this is just an observation by me in the roads of sweet nothings in cyberspace :> well, so many hearts that you broke, so much milk that you spat, laughs, now maybe it's your turn to be the victim of your own hands? we'll see, sa susunod na kabanata, ...(^_~)...so stay tune pls. like sort of, i love you, genius, but you really never love me sort of a story for the proof is looking at you, laughs. now the emotion will run dry as the well will run out of water, laughs. i am really very very entertained. hands, eyes and ears in place, hope you are too :) pls. enjoy listening to kuh ledesma. really, no kidding this lady can sing like an angel and that's the truth. i love her voice, my music thirst is filled, laughs. i am bad i think for i find humor in dark despair, so pardon pls. and yeah, don't be bloody mad as well. it shouldn't for the truth should set us free and i believe in that. now maybe you can puke now in pink err in red blood, laughs. entertaining, i think so :) my next poem? string of words will be much more suitable for i knew that i am not a poet, laughs... maybe... titled "emotionless" how's that? :>

emotionless

the door opened
and you weren't there
the bus stopped
but no one
stepped down

up above was
an endless darkness
down below was
the deep abyss

in between was
sour nothings
vacuum filled
with just air :)

i know it's lame but I've got to practice. hmn, maybe a few words will do? laughs. now don't blow my candles err despise. at least i am trying even how difficult it is...now another take...bec. right now i have plenty of time to spare. okay, here goes...

emotionless

you played this
game before
now you are a pro

flowers adorned
my door
but void of smell
or two

don't bother now
the music is out
of tune

like your flowers
it doesn't entertained
no more

stop, you've used
us just to make
you smile and dance

stop, the clown
is here but
the trick is out
nothing is new
that the laughter
is just gone...

and another angle...

"the PIANO is silent now"

strange, the music
is heard no more
your hands are tired
and stiff, it hurts
can't play the usual
tune, your favorite
for the notes
the lyrics
forgotten
unmemorized
abandoned

somewhere a stranger
may play that tune again
somewhere a better hand
may play that music
for you once more
then
the melody might or
may linger for eternity
and
not only just for a single
happy day
but
in truth it's just a one
sad memorable unhappy day...

so how did i do? i know it's bad...but you'll just have to be content with that for it's the best that i can do, laughs...really in life, we think and interpret stuffs but we need to realize that if it is not said so that the umbrella is pink and you can't see it in pink per se, then your mind is just playing a trick on you, let's not get caught in that web of deceit or just someone else is trying to make you believe that it is pink but it is void of colors, in truth... now i am not kidding here. i am really serious, laughs. remember i have that esp, laughs. you can believe this or not but again you'll be better off if you do, laughs. so pls. the game is over :)

God's candle, the candle of good :)

a burning candle

a burning candle of love
is what Jesus had for us
a burning candle of light
is His gift for us
lighting our way
through out eternity
lighting our way
till death comes


putting a stop
to the joys
that we have
putting a stop
to the sorrows
and the loves
that we gave out

young or old
if your time comes
young or old
you'll just have
to bid your
last goodbye...

and no one can ever put out the candle of GOD :> even if you are the DEVIL, the howling, puking and spitting devil, laughs. let's ask one seeking inspiration artist somewhere, your genius :) and airesol which means the air and the sun won't ever dare to blow out the candle of good or eat it and spit it out for that matter, laughs, for that is so gross, a no no :)




it's almost time for the happiest month of year...last pic was lifted from philstar, thanks :)


roses, irises and lilies
dressed in colorful pinks
bright and full of life
delicate delights

stamens filled pollen
sticky, sweet and golden
honey coated spells
aphrodisiac sticks...

unmeasurable sorrow...

Quantum of Solace...the new James Bond flick. J.C. and i went to see this movie today. the beginning was filled with death defying full packed action and car chases that wows you to the max. shot in Italy on a tiny squeezed dirt road and this reminds me of Baguio without the vegetation. i was turned off going to this summer capital of the Phil. bec. of the ride. my only consolation was the visit to that pink church cathedral. even up there on the mountains was hot, population explosion, yes, a lot of students from our neighbor Asian countries called it their temporary home. it is not really that bad but what if... is all i can think of then as Paul skillfully navigates the rugged twisted or zigzag roads, his very own turf for he'd been this way a lot of times before driving his priest employer before my brother. yes, he was a very excellent driver, laughs. i won't even dare to drive in this kind of environment. i am not too savvy, laughs, and one turn might be the wrong turn and down the cliff we go, laughs and that's the big if that i dreaded but Paul and even my brother are pros. Filipino drivers are the best around the world i think. with just a hairline of space separating one car from another i was amazed that there weren't tons of accidents so that speaks volume. i need a lot of practice i would say before i venture myself in the city. my brother do not trust me with his automobiles. why i want to drive a limo then, laughs. but in the province that is another story. there i can of course, laughs. but going back to the movie...really to make it short i forgot how good it was at the beginning bec. of its lackluster ending, the big true disappointment. it is done now? but where is the big bang at the end? yes, the beach view was great, the fights that is just too much and never ending is mind boggling. how did they shot that? okay, it started with a bang but ended in a whimper...it killed the good things at the earlier part of the movie. see, what will you remember most is the ending but this movie failed to make it a memorable one, sad. although Craig did well playing the part. the ladies though is, it could be better :) and yes, if you were betrayed by the one you loved bec. she was black mailed? would you want to know why? and who was behind it? unmeasurable sorrow and despair indeed and a very close up and personal matter for agent 007...love and betrayal, ouch, that is the hurt that is hard to go away...but who could be trusted in this life anyway, tell me :) i don't even think that i was trusted then. this one instance that i remembered. people ordered some stuffs from here just to make sure that they'll have proof where i am coming from, laughs. but really even if you don't care...i don't lie and i value trust more than money or diamonds. integrity, honesty and the truth are very important to me. if you don't have these be very careful for i can sense it even you're that far away, laughs. believe it or not but you'll be better off if you do and you are now forewarned, laughs. it's your life, your call, but my decision at the end :)
on how do we speak...I've been where i am for half of my entire life so I've gotten into their way of conversing in their own native tongues. i do understand the frustrations of people in my country of origin for if i read their way of writing it is quite different from what i am used to now. you won't know how one lives not unless you are living on the same roof and i am fully aware of that. this is just similar so to speak. it is just a matter of adjustment. i will meet you as you will meet me but pls. no bad words for it is not allowed :)

the Little Flower Church...a favorite video :)

this is St. Therese Chapel...the smaller section of the Shrine of the Little Flower Church that we always go and light a candle, visit and hear mass...aside from our own parish church here :)

elvis, i want him alive :)

the sky is full of clouds

the sun was hidden
behind thick clouds
the light is gone
the rays are cut

i opened the window
and gazed up above
a storm is brewing
as the wind starts to
hover around

a flash of lightning
lighted up the sky
electrifying, it freezed
and numbed the clouds

the thunder's so loud
my eardrum popped
a shout in my ear
that stunned my heart

the rain dropped and
dripped unrelenting
touching my hands
every seconds
every moments
the cold and icy
weather again
is at my back...

the rainbow rose :)

the happiness rose which brings joy, the other meaning of my name, laughs. money, music and mirth, i don't have any complaints, sure. but thanks mader, although i'm still waiting for it to come true :) wow, what a name i've got, laughs. hillary though i think is the best :> intelligent, powerful, respected, rich and with style & substance. truly, nothing can beat that :)

the non cinderella slippers err shoes :>

okay now, throw love not hate...pls... :)

on the sunny side

the bottom art belongs to the master painter, Vincent van Gogh and the top is by J. Longacre, titled "sunny side" painted last April :) really, i do believe that most of us if not all would want a walk on the sunny side of life, always...and for more paintings that are eye catching, pls. click below :)

http://perezart.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

yes, to be on the sunny side of life is my goal everyday and i want that to anyone as well regardless of their own gender preferences. if two human beings of the same sex truly love each other and want marriage to solidify their commitment to each other, i will support them. i know that marriage since the very beginning of time is only for a man and a woman as practiced in our religion as well as of others but time has changed. romantic love is seen now a days not only between the opposite sex but of the same sex as well as there are gay couples who truly love each other as straight couples do. so let's be tolerant and respect one another. although i believe that never in my lifetime that this kind of union will be legalized for the majority of us still cling to tradition and vehemently oppose changes of any kind which is kinda sad. i hope that in the future their union will be recognized as traditional couples are and will be accepted and will be allowed to enter the sacrament of matrimony as well, although the hope is fairly dim as of date...

"on the sunny side of the street"

by Vincent van Gogh...uplifting work of art and a favorite song as well, courtesy of Bob Barker :)

lost in the shadows
of a silent world
lost in the thick
deep dark creases
roaming
endlessly
in circles
winding
tired and beaten
ending
on the same path
only to begin
to find your
way out
all over and over
again
it never ends...

it'll be a breeze of relief to find that sunny side of the street again :)

why did Obama ended up in the sun and McCain in the rain?

1. age did matter? not sharing your wealth definitely did :)
2. experience did not matter
3. color blindness existed
4. the young are responsible now
5. more houses and cars did count but not on the plus side
6. the population had gotten smarter or woke up if you want a metaphor :)
7. the urge to cut the bushes to be able for the light to come through was really done for real
8. Obama's O is a circle like the sun and McCain rhymed with rain, so that did it :>
9. it's a struggle to be a hero twice
10. Pal-in meant the opposite which is out and Biden is not bye then, i was wrong. sorry, hope i made you smile in spite of the errors :) and please don't start to play a game like this, it is really boring, no pun intended.

happiness' art

and the color pink dominates. pink is love, love is Jesus, Jesus is happiness, happiness is pink for happiness is love. don't ever confuse yourself with that, laughs. now what is really happiness to a person ? when all their dreams, wants and desires come true? when they are not tied to the daily grind of life. when you can do and go as you please without barrier such as family and financial concerns. more money more problems they say but that would never apply to me :) so really what is joy? i know that is one of the meaning of my name and one is wealth. but really who came up with such nice meaning of our given names for I'm highly suspicious of how true they are, laughs. happiness for me is when one is free of worries and concerns and can go anywhere as they please, do as they please or act as they please. stay in a beach and dance all night without being bound by time constraints, go on vacation until you've realized you're tired of vacationing, live in a forest with its wild garden until you decided it's time to come out, paddle in a river and watch all the fish swim or listen to melodies that make your head spin. with these I've concluded that happiness is having the freedom to do as we please either by ourselves or with the people that we love and who loves us in return :)

President Barack Obama...

the once in a lifetime experience, an inspiration to look up to, against all odds, he had prevailed...i'm happy for my second country. it could only get better bec. of him from now on :) hopes of more jobs to be created here so that the economy will get going back on the right track again...now there is light glimmering at the end of the tunnel, finally :) not just an illusion or a dream but truly a reality that you can hold on and feel...happiness is here at last :>

why Obama won...he will "spread the wealth" according to John McCain. i thought when he mentioned that at the end of his rallies, that stamped him as a loser. to Obama it means sharing the wealth to the less fortunate and that is more like it where the crown will be won and it did :)
second the Bush economics did it. more tax cuts, or tax breaks for the rich just like him and ignoring the poor and the middle class by shipping jobs out of the country for more profit to their pockets. many said that he stole the election from Al Gore then by winning Florida where the governor was his brother then but look at the result. he is now the president known to have the lowest approval rating leaving office ever that the Republicans running for re-election dare not have him at their sides, a negative. and the country is in dire situation having the worst economic situation ever since the depression. Green Span said he never anticipated this to happen. no one saw the warning signs but i think it was just ignored until it could no longer be set aside. mortgage banks are failing due to foreclosures. people out of job can't simply keep their homes, pure and simple. no jobs, no salary and no money to spend which triggers the economy to move in the right direction. Obama understands this so i have high hopes now that the future of this country is going to be bright :)

moving on :?

art is by Picasso...for us, December means sadness for my dad died on this month...the skull of sadness, "death's head" aptly this art's title...the birth of Jesus and the death of my dad all in one month...

art is by Vincent van Gogh ..."a walk on the sunny side" :)

the world as we turn our back

counting days of spring
that sprung
memories of greens
that's gone

summer wind so warm
flower filled days
perfume filled air
friendly butterflies abound

fall with the downing
of the golden leaves
autumn with its wind so crisp
branches starting to shed
lifeless, bare, so quiet

wintry weather so cold
white ice covered roads
body numb and lost
time to get down and fold
time to get going
time to get some rest
time to flip the page
time to bid farewell

hope we all meet again
same time same place next year
if the future permits
if the closed door opens...

the ending of a long journey in life, although to die at 60 like my dad did is very young for lots of people live to their 80's, 90's and 100's. the good looking madam Imelda is hovering at 80, Aimee her daughter is my age, laughs. you will never know, we will never know how much God has in store for us in years. let's live our lives with decency, honesty, without pretense and without illusions. let's live it as we dreamt it to be :) like a walk in a pathway covered with red berries as the sun shines at your back lighting your way :> my kind of road :)

a walk by the beach

silently as your steps
begun to flee
quietly as your arms
begun to sway

the warm sea breeze
the hot sea sand
the stillness that surrounds
it engulfs you
as you notice the solace
the only company
that you have

looking at the endless
deep blue sea below
gazing at the endless
deep blue sky above
measuring the distance between
you and your love ones
it's that far

can a ship so slow welcomes you
can a plane above takes you
to your destination of nowhere
far in space without a plan
without a ticket
without a limit
at your hands

life is a travel that either we wanted or not
life is an experience that we like or not
life is a choice that we make
life is a gift that we need to cherish
whether it's lonesome or full of happiness
as life is simply a walk in a beach

you feel the heat as you feel the breeze
as you walk and savor the softness of the sand
as you stop and listen
to the gently rolling waves by your side
as you stop and think
as you take your time
to reminisce the back pages of your life...

painting above is done by artist Z. Igor, thank you :)

colorful rainbow on my mind

come let's go
and play with
the sun
the only thing is
it's hot and it
might burn
our hands

come let's play
with the stars
the only thing is
their twinkle
might turn
our eyes blind

how about the clouds, we can hide
how about the wind that we can ride
how about the moon that smiles at us
or the ocean with its
warm water that can splash

or would you rather walk
barefoot on a beach
and pick up sea shells
as souvenirs instead
or would you rather
get dirty and dig
mother earth
to create a garden
to your heart's content

although did you
ever watch a rainbow
with its colors so true
plus that pot of gold
that's perfect for you
think of jewels and jars
of perfumes
think of mansions and maids
of your own

colorful rainbows are rare
like magic sometimes it's there
but the truth is it's bare
like a rainbow
the colors will eventually fade
like magic
the illusions will eventually leave
like a dream
you'll wake up to reality
that is not truly there...

but magical rainbows i thank you just the same
for you did brought a smile to me
to us although without permanence
just like love it can end
just like life it can soon disappear

although love will blossom again sometime
although life will be seen again in the birth
of a child
as days pass by
as time goes by...

now I'm really getting annoyed for itunes had put a stop for the music that i bought from them to be put in my blog due to copy right issues? they want people who listens to it to buy it themselves too i think, not being distributed or listened to in the www for free i supposed and I'm not happy, what can you expect. that is a very brilliant idea from them isn't it?

autumn leaves, fallen leaves

yes, even leaves have to say their goodbyes but in such powerful and colorful splendor. it has to end so we can have spring, summer and winter. four seasons four shows. four spectacle of nature. we can't have one without the others, here in my place at least...i miss it when i am not here but i just don't like the coldness after fall...

what is love...

i am as empty
as a vacuum
and your words
had filled me up

i was lost in a
thick damp forest
you came you searched
for me all day all night

i was despised
and vilified
your arms
had enveloped
my arms

i was not singing
a happy tune
your voice starts
to sing a lullaby

i was drowning
in a river
you swam and
saved my life

you are a singer
you are a poet
a swimmer
and a savior
or a painter
that never
ever puts
me down

you colored my life
with pink roses
not dim nor dark despair
you sing to me
sweet enchanting music
not goth like creepy tunes
of after life nor hell

love is eternal
love is pure and true
love is suffering
and is a sacrifice for you

love is understanding
finding no fault or two
love is forever, like God
He is always there for you...

lost ribbons

lost ribbons

neatly tucked away somewhere
probably
or loosely packed under shirts
maybe
or tightly caught in between
dirty laundry

now where could those lost ribbons be...tell me...


in the highway of life
we must be alert to these:
there are people who squeeze you
so hard like a singing doll
until your voice is gone

the dent in your arms
the bruises that never heals
colored purple
the color of blood that died
the color pink
the color of love that died
pink, purple now dead
death, lifeless and breathless
cold and black

you woke up one day
she's gone
you woke up without
the usual hi, hello
how did your day go

time did ran a marathon
the days did a flip in my plate
in your plate, unseen, uncounted
unimportant until you noticed
the days grew longer without the song
the days grew longer without
that pink flower
because the color
behind your smile is gone
the color behind your life
your laughter is gone
the important had slipped
and death is all
that you can see
in your eyes

the sun, the moon, the stars
forgot to shine...

hmn, a sad poem but we can't be happy all the time and that is a sad fact of life :)
