Boys Do Cry

Im starting my photo blog with this picture. I'd like that you avid readers would put a good caption for each picture that I post. Anyway, this is my first ever birthday since I was born (yeah right). And it really reflects my emotions. Hehe... Can't help it.

scrivo quando posso ancora

non so fino quando posso scrivere delle poesie che viene nella mente mia, sopratutto se una delle mie ispirasione se ne andanta e una sta andando via. l'unica cosa che mi tira di continuare mettere le ligne su una carta e che il mio libro delle poesie e quasi pieno, infatti, sei pagine più. Percio, veramente mi sto sforzando di spremere tutte le mie idee cioe, su quasi ogni cosa che mi attira. Tante volte sono delle cose di cuore.

Insomma, spero che nessun anima sia annoiato di esso. Allora, comincia! Leggi tu.


Naliliwanagan

Di ba't kailan lamang
Nang kita'y muling mabanaagan
Sa gimbal at pagrosas ng aking pisngi
Ika'y napariwara at di mawari

Umaasa na magkakaroon
Puting katsa, malinis na panimula
Subalit nang ilimbag ang bukangliwayway
Takipsilim, ang dibuhong kinalabasan

Ang ilang taong kahandaan
Mauuwi din ba sa kawalan?
Hindi sapat ang paglalaro sa sapa
Kulang din ang pamamalagi sa parang

Ni minsan ba'y sa huni ng kudyapi
Ika'y hindi man lang napintig
Ika'y bulag ba sa kalikasan
O sadyang ang mga mata'y may takip

Sa pagsulat sa mga salita ng sandali
Huwag magulumihanan sa nais pahiwatig
Totoo ma'y nakasasakit
Mga gawa sa salita'y higit

Liliwanag at lilipas din
Sa ating pagkakalayo't katahimikan
Kaligayahan at katuwaa'y manunumbalik
Ang paghahangad din ay naiibsan.

Burn Out

Hey there pretty lady
Until when will we be out here
Why don't we go in
And stop from being on the road
Do we risk catching the cold?

Here we are at the threshold
I've long held out the door
Are you coming in?
The candle's burning out
It's getting cold inside too

Oh, how long should I wait
I've moved mountains by now
Or is it fate

Where do you want to go
Would you have me beside you
Or you'd rather be alone

Oh, how long should I wait
I've moved mountains by now
Or is it fate.
It must be fate.

mas canta por ti

¡Cuánta inspiración que me das!


Yo Espero

Algún sentimiento lleva la medida
Donde descansa mi felicidad
Cuando las flores se abren
Y el agua de los rios corre
Mi necesidad de ti
Espontáneamente vuela alto
Como los árboles sin hojas, esperan
El calor de los rayos del sol
Esperando dar vida a se entorno.
Tal sentimiento, enormemente intensificado!
Qué hermoso es caminar bajo el sol
Bajo el claro cielo azul
Solo para ver un escenario tan grandioso
Contigo.

The Ride

Tick tick tick Tock
I've heard this before, a lick
'Tis the sound of the unknown
It comes, an answer for my own

It ought not be right
Learning who this soul'd be
Experience taught a lot to forego
There'd be more interesting places to see

Oh, for Time's not my best friend, you see
I've waited for this tide, now I'll ride to the sea

The squall's bad ahead, waves be rocky
Thus, instinct beats the drum in my head
As stars guide this weathered traveller
I gather my wits and sail to yonder.

Wherefore Art Thou?

A second song in the making. Hmm... Album na ba to? Shakespeare daw sabi ni Jingster. I requested him to bring Shakespeare into the world of rock. We'll see how it turns out.


Wherefore Art Thou?

This clear blue canopy over me
And liquid crystals sparkle under the sun
With smooth sands of time beneath my feet

Wherefore art thou?

Would the wind's spirit bring you right beside me
When under this succulent shade I stare out to infinity
And thoughts of you fill my head

Wherefore art thou?

There's boundless serenity here
The place is teeming with peace
I call to the wind
To construe this desire to you

I need you here with me.
Wherefore art thou?

smoker's upper house

a couple of days ago, while visiting a good friend in quezon city, i saw in the news that some of the senators are ranting about their collegues smoking inside their building, which by the way, is illegal.

law makers breaking the law in their own house. hmmm... makes one think of what kind of mind set our leaders are in, and of course the people who put them there.

then came the segment when these senators were intervied. they were asked to explain/comment on what was being said about them. what did they say? "well, somebody else did already... so i can do it too." "ok, i'll just smoke outside then." (actually this is just a paraphrase since i dont recall what was said but it is to that effect).

In case you are curious who these senators are, here they are:

Senators Biazon, Revilla Jr. , Lapid, John Osmeña, and Estrada (the one with the mustache).

anyway, you judge. they're the law.

a new song

so, i think im back to being artistically inclined. now i can write again. but this one, i hope soon with the help of jing (ala pang siyang blog kaya walang link) , sana magkaroon na ng nota.

Im thinking that the music would be alternative rock pero mellow ng konti. medyo swabe sana ang dating. I was thinking as a whole, sana may part for a violin and sax or flute and cello, pero rock parin ang base sound. Gulo ba? Anyway, paging Jing... tapos pedeng gawing ringtone narin ng bago mong gadget. :)


Crossroads of Mystery

Why does it feel wrong
And you seem hesistant to go on
I thought you'd love to leave solitude
And be delivered from being alone

I understand your prudence
But then there the excitement stops
So I gamble with you my future
Hoping I'd throw in the lucky dice

Why waste time with the theory man
And use precious energy pondering when
I'm already here at the crossroads of this mystery
Waiting for you to come by and take my hand.

bagong buhay (kaya?)

man, It's good to put two of my books back to the shelf again. Hightime that I read two new ones. One's an autobiography of Gabriel Garcia Marquez (the first of three i think) and the other's about war torn singapore during world war II.

-----

so what's new? a lot of things. never did i buy so much stuff in my life, for me and for others. i guess i have to contemplate again on the christmas season being commercialized.

let's see, well, i gave all those gifts not for the habit or the need to give them, but to make them feel happy, to make them feel loved. Jesus did this to me so i guess im just channeling this love through me. i hope these people felt this way.

but not all the things that are new are material. there's a renewed positive outlook in life. new prospects. business proposals. new dreams. this time a bit more grounded but my arrows are still pointed there. to the ultimate dream.

i dream of saving money. i dream of studying violin and the harmonica. i dream of mastering the art of dancing swing and tango. i dream of forming a cool music group. i dream of writing more poems and songs. i dream of finishing the whole set of robert jordan's wheel of time this year (uh-huh). i dream still of new zealand. i dream of painting. i dream of making a cool home for somebody. i dream of designing a cool house for anybody. i dream of reaching out to you.

anyway, tomorrow, i'll start by watching ocean's twelve. I think i'll be enjoying this one.

ricominciamo

I started to write again. Its good to write again. And now I'm writing about something else! I'm so happy.

An anti-thesis to somebody else's. :-)

Oh by the way, sorry for the long hibernation. No resolutions to write frequently this year. Anyway, wishing everybody a better year than the last.
