Calamba

I don't know where I am going.
I decided to stay but my mind keep on saying to go away.
See the place where my happiness dwells.
And so I did.
I travel under the heavy rain and scattered fogs.
Under the roof of a small vehicle with a maniac.
A long drive indeed.
During this boredom, I am trying to think of beautiful memories we had shared together.
I missed it.
I missed you... that's why I'm here, in a loving memory of Calamba.
I know that I am the only one who remembers... that's why I am here with the reason of hoping to see you,
  under the foot bridge, behind the racing cars, or even in the mist of the fog.
I waited for the rain to stop while sipping my cold coffee inside the cheap fast food chain.
This is the end.
I will return home.
But I am confused.
I don't know where my home is... because here...
  it felt like a long lost sanctuary .
But I will do what is best.
That is to go back.
I have to go back leaving a promise that I will always search for you.

Lowell Thomas and A short-cut to Distinction

ALPHABET SERIES /part 12/ The ability to speak is a short-cut to distinction. It puts a man in the limelight, raises him head and shoulders above the crowd. And the man who can speak acceptably is usually given credit for an ability out of all proportion to what he really possesses. Dale Carnegie claims that any man can talk when he gets mad. He says that if you hit the most ignorant man in town on the jaw and knock him down, he will get on his feet and talk with an eloquence, heat, and emphasis that would have rivaled William Jennings Bryan in his palmiest days. He claims that almost any man can speak acceptably in public if he has self-confidence and an idea that is boiling and stewing within him. The way to develop self-confidence, he says, is to do the thing you fear to do and get a record of successful experiences behind you. -- from the book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie <A short-cut to Distinction by Lowell Thomas> ...

One Hundred

There are songs behind all those smiles and there are anthems behind all those sadness. But I always find myself creating anthems. Isn't the world more cruel than Ares? Or this is just my mind full of inconsistencies and fragments of overwhelming grief? I sat at the corner facing the darkness of a room and holding my cheap and out of tune guitar. I write it. All my feelings are processing in just a single drop of blood. It is so amazing how the blood runs through a piece of paper transforming itself into an organize tint. The tint says it all. First, that I am waiting to see your face. Hoping that on one enchanting day, I will see your glooming smile, your soft lips and the overly wonderful lashes playing on your eyes in that fast food chain and are awaiting my return. Second, that I will receive this one simple and sweet message; "I miss you." Third, that we will be able to hold each others hands while walking in the busy street full of honking and shouting. Fourth,...

Kudos for your Attitude

ALPHABET SERIES /part 11/ There are situations that can never be replace with just simple hello and  bitter goodbyes. Sometimes, you have to complicate matters and talk about the things that are bothering you. Cry. That's okay. Laugh about it. Fine. Senseless action? Well, just hug me. And do not push me away. I'll go by myself. Remember that.
