Batanes Islands: beyond words…

February 3, 2008 ·

Batanes. So what they say is true.... Batanes does not look like our usual islands, even though it's part of our islands and homeland just more pristine, and well, breathtaking. Batanes beach. Reaching here, miles away from home.... Batanes seemed like another world, if you knew what 'another world' means - no phone calls, no deadlines, no texts; no honking, no cursing, no madly crossing the streets; no coffee shop chic or Wi-fi fix; no counting the hours, or rushing through crowds.... just being with ...

July 5, 2007 ·

i miss you because you're there in the places we used to walk through in the smooth outline of my coffee cup where my lips wish it was you i am touching instead i miss you because soon it will be raining and i'll be staring at those droplets through my window pane - your warm embrace shielding me from the cold, your gentle voice playing through my mind simply this soul knows it will march in spring if it finds you and dances beside you once again. Egad, I miss blogging..... can't stop it, can't resist it simply have to be ... Continue Reading...

Going Through Days

August 24, 2004 ·

Love is a gift I give unto myself. I may not be sure if someone loves me back, but it doesn't matter for true love is selfless. In nurturing this special affection, my soul sings, my heart goes into a happy dance and I am once again able to find poetry in everyday things:Sunshine reminds me of youWhen the noon's rays descend upon meAnd I am suddenly filled with heatfrom the passion of you...The rain makes me want you moreBecause it is coldAnd this kind of weatherMakes me want to stay indoors,curled up in the depths of your soulI welcome the sunshineKnowing that on ...

Lost & Found… & Lost

August 11, 2004 ·

Someone from my not-so-distant past came to haunt me...right there on a Monday morning.I couldn't explain it. I was, and still is, irretrievably drawn to his mystery. It's true that we all want something we could not have or ever be near with.How I wanted to soften that wintry gaze that accused me of reacting so badly.But I've promised to myself to stop chasing rainbows and just wait for the rainbow to show on my horizon.I can no longer weep for what I lost. Right now,I'm justbeyond feeling,beyond pain. ... Continue Reading...
