THE BDAY WISH

Now i' m allergic with food and drinks..I have had enough of the weekend. I enjoyed this bday, I had a very relaxing one. All i needed was the closest people to me and great food..Maybe next bday, ill get to spend my bday with somebody else..hehe whoever that is.

my 26th year

gosh in a few hours and i will be another year older..and i often ask myself..has things changed?

well now, its a big YES. I think in some ways, i have changed, most of my friends cannot believe though, and me too actually. Well I admit i will never be perfect and will always have flaws, but i think i have improved my views among other things.

5 THINGS I HAVE LEARNED for the 26th time:

1. NEVER ASSUME. I have great relationships with my family but we also have our hang-ups and problems of communication, this year something happened between me and my brothers which strengthened our bond as siblings..we may often quarrel or wrestle with each other to death (hehe) but we have cultivated our care, love and respect with each other. I used to suspect them a lot, but sometimes there are things that no matter how obvious they are, they would always be NOT what they seemed to be..I have learned the art of asking and especially, the art of trusting.

2.PATIENCE. I have learned this word over and over again. Okay, i do have "sungit and toyo" issues and that's me, it happens when things go wrong and i do have a hard time controlling my anger, but now im trying to pacify myself , im trying to understand "difficult" people and i do try to wait more longer. =)

3. NEVER JUDGE. Its human instinct ..but to make a conclusion on anyone is a bit unfair to both parties involved. I trying to practice on trying to see different sides of different people.

4. BE COURTEOUS. Such opening doors, saying hi, saying thank you..small things..do mean a lot.

5.LOVE WITHOUT PRIDE. well this thing is an ongoing thing but im trying to learn it and without effort, it bends all my stupid pride. Its a hard and bumpy road but im learning and soon ill get there.

So am i more nice..well its not about change..its more about creating a positive outlook in life...I'm just a human being, pretty soon i'll get fed up with the way things are and ill be thinking of giving up on myself..but if i do have a strong positive side ..it would a more pleasant life to live.

A happy birthday to me. =)

ONE LAST SHOT, BEFORE WE SEPARATE WAYS

In love with the Moon

With the stillness of the night I long to see those sweet eyes
And feel the warmness of your skin while I hold your hand
I yearn to hear u whisper to me underneath these starry skies
If only for this one night, it is only you that I could want.

What kind of foolish prayer can I send the stars above,
For them to see, how much this heart has been longing
From counting all the moments, I would wish to have..
Will the moon, tell me when does the passion stop from trying?

Yet the nocturnal reality has always kept me waiting
Bringing forth more elation of desire for me to see,
the one that exhumes my ardent love, glowing and inspiring..
why has Fate has meant for this to be..

-"Enal" (FYI, its one of my highschool pen names, duh?hehe)
____________________________________
Well when you're bored and you just want to pretend you're inlove with somebody (or am i??)..creativity just kicks in.
Actually, I used to write poems as well as collect them when i was in highschool, and i would always use my pen name "Enal" well it was a nickname given to me by a good friend, natalia, well i thought it was kinda boyish but i liked it anyway. I would even write poems about everyhting, for friends..of course most of the time for my crushes. Well, when you're young and you think you're inlove, you're into mushy things. I even remembered the last poem I did in Highschool, it got published for the public newspaper, well honestly it was supposed to be for a guy i had a big crush on, but i did want to admit it to my friends, because the guy was kinda ugly at that time, and my friends would laugh at me (well we were so immature then), so i asked my friend (who was the school editor at that time) to publish it as anonymously done. Unexpectedly, the poem created a big controversy. Evryone wanted to know who was behind the poem and who made it. They were so curious about its identity. well two years after highschool, i admitted to the guy that it was me..but when he asked me why i did it..I was stifled with an answer.."I dont know"..

I have always believed poems that are done wholeheartedly are the sweetest thing a woman can receive, (of course next to flowers)..I never had a poem given to me, that was originally done by a guy, I mean, there was once before, but that guy never meant what he said, probably he copied it from a Hallmark card or a poem collection (how pathetic is that? hehe) . I want a poem which a guy would literally pour his heart out, never mind if its not so great or it has grammatical errors, as long as its not just a few lines, i mean if it comes from the heart for once, it means probably more than anything. But of course, to wait for such a poem for me would take ..about..10 years? 50 years? these days, most guys don't even dare.

the Last Shot

last weekend, I shall never drink again..ever
I shall never even entertain the thought of it
I shall never consume alcohol when i can't really take it all
I shall never get drunk and pass out
I shall never be so drunk that i cannot even remember some impt events
i shall never get so drunk on a saturday night and sleep all sunday
I shall never leave my purse under the table to which
i totally forgot
I shall never get drunk and be involve in endless debate about
"destiny.."hehe
I promise to be sober..forever and ever..
I shall never drink again..tomorrow.

their conditional ceasefire

I've always hated watching the news. I can't even stand watching the CNN, seeing those politicians, most of whom makes a lot of money out of people's pockets, the damn taxes which u don't even know who really sustains from it..but then..

The other day, I stumbled upon this one documentary in the CNN..about the Israel-Lebanon conflict. There was a girl who was lying in a long chair and was hugging her father, and her legs were shaking, it was said that it is because another bomb or explosion is about to happen, her father says, she shivers at the mere thought of it. This shows how much they live in fear, a lot. I was deeply sad as well as confused, I mean what's the point of letting these people, such innocent lives be put to grave danger, just to prove how strong ur nation is, or how much bullets, missiles u can fire..I wonder is it worth it? There are already a number of children and women who have died, and yet nobody seems to care..all these leaders do, is just shook their heads ..and wonder why are they letting this happen..and don't fucking tell the others, that "it wasn't supposed to be this way"..was it? All the blood and screaming will never stop..even if they strike all the population out of each nation..will it really prove something. How can they sleep at night and not wonder, and not care about the lives, that they have wasted..
In the older years, history would prove..every nation would fight for its people and for its freedom..Is not the right to live..a form of freedom..or Has the world, gone so numb..we have already forgotten, the real meaning of everything?

the lunacy of shopping

i was out the whole day, because i needed to do a lot of things, and sometimes a whole day is just enough for any of it. I had to send something to my dad, develop some pictures, buy some special things, get some money in the bank (yeah, i needed to borrow some millions, hehehe). Report some complainst to my current telephone company, because they sucked at their service and needed to buy some few items. Whew! i havent even got through half of day, oh i needed to buy some books, cds..and oh i think i have to buy some shoes..or no..probably a dress..oh but...well, its as good as it gets. hehe.

Sons and Lovers

"She herself was opposite. She had a curious, receptive mind which found much pleasure and amusement in listening to other folk. She was clever in leading folk to talk. She loved ideas, and was considered very intellectual. What she liked most of all was an argument on religion or philosophy or politics with some educated man. This she did not often enjoy. So she always had people tell her about themselves, finding her pleasure so.." ...................................

This is an excerpt from the book, Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence..whew! after 3 weeks u've finally finished it..it was like a journey from the old times, set in old england. The comparison between the old english culture and now is fascinating. Funny how some things or how people behaved or lived..does still stay in the present culture right now. I meant was the promiscuous dating, the "relationship" between friends which does seem to mean more to them yet they have trouble expressing it, the fact that most men still follow their mother's choice ..its really amazing. I liked this book, not because it spoke of a man's confused emotions toward the important women in his life..but because of how..emotions were discussed, I loved the author's way of writing and describing them..Its interesting that sometimes, unaware as we always are..we affect people..by the way we feel about them.
