Nagmamahal, ang iyong konsyensa de panulat na walang konsyensya, mabulaklak na dila.

Setyembre noon, ang manunulat ay Emo sa kadahilanang…(di ko syempre sasabihin, ano kayo sineswerte? hahaha) kaya’t ayon, puro tulang makalaglag puso ang naisulat, folks, pansin nyo?

Oktubre, wala pa ring pumapasok sa kokote nya kaya naisipang mag empake at walang pakeng umuwi ng pinas! ang letsi di ako isinama!

HER PLEA

A decade and more of waiting for the dawn’s bleak light
Cuddling, embracing, comforting herself
Humming, sighing, tears under the eyes
Enduring the coldness and darkness of the night.

Numb by the pain, heart is freezing
Tired with beating, then suddenly it ached
Enveloped with fear, it turned almost dead
Trying to recoup but damage is there.

Still giving love, patience and hope
Trying to see a sense in everything gone
Trying to look forward, gasping, clasping, holding
And hoping the rope is strong enough to hang on.

One given chance it’s all there is
One more try to stop emptiness
Unconditional love is still there to give
Please don’t make a mistake for she has death.

There will be no more after this last hope
If all fails, then darkness shall come
She will be gone, never return, nothing shall be left
So please be careful, never miss, fail nor neglect.

Tribute to Patrick Swayze

At the age of 57, he passed away. 

He was one of my most-liked artists. An actor, dancer, a singer – songwriter. Loved him in Dirty Dancing and unknown to everybody, i love his song. One of those which touches hearts in my opinion.

She’s Like The Wind

She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she deosn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Au revoir monsieur Swayze!

Dartmouth Regatta

Over sa pagod ang lola nyo ng mga panahong ito dahil di nabigyan ng break o day off manlang sa trabaho sa panahong me kaganapan dito kaya sugod sa festivities ng gabi! Tutal bampira naman ako LOL. So eto ang mga litraks:

Introducing Dartmouth!

 

 

 

 

 The Fair

And yes! pagkatapos ng 13 hours shift e go go pa rin ang lola nyo! So it was a sabado night, last day of Regatta. Everything was happening. While i was riding the crazy frogetty ride, the fireworks was launched! ay caramba! pinapanood ko ang fireworks habang akoy  paugtol ugtol na umiikot (back and forth yon!) at itinatalang sa kalangitan! AAAYYY! litsi!!!!

After that di pa nasiyayan! sumakay pa ng Freddie’s revenge! Ay kaloka, ang bilis, 200 miles ph ata!  suspended in air, back and forth! wala ako nakita sa ride na yon kundi red lights na magmistulang guhit lang! WWWAAAA!!! di na muling uulit pa! I’ll think about it next time. Ala, e pagkatapos ng ride na iyon e daig ko pa ang lumaklak ng tatlumpong bote ng wine in one go! listi! di ako nakalakad!

The Red Arrows (LOL. I used to call it Red Sparrows!)

 

Autumn Gush

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Skies are grey, the heaven’s crying
The wind, angry, cold and bitter
The trees, forlorn, shedding their colour
The flowers, faded and died.

The horizon is red, blood is its colour,
Darkness envelopes anything in path
The sudden eerie feeling thrusts a heart
So sudden, so cold, so aghast.

Summer lasted only for a few days
Then the rain came and hid the sun
Droplets drowned every blissful sense
Then dying, dying, dying.

Hope can’t be seen, untouchable and distant
Still, after autumn, comes winter
Colder, dreadful, destitute, lonely
Surely, the more death will come.

.

Smile :-(

My long lost favorite song.

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you

 Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

 <instrumental interlude>

That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

If I get the courage, I might sing it through my podcast….

X Factor for Real!

For the first time I have seen a true performance in the X facctor audition. Simon’s comment is seconded. This performance by DAnyl Johnson is truly magnificent! A Wow Factor!

Everybody is just waiting for his next performance. Everybody reckons he’s already the winner! Kudos to him. I say he’s a natural born performer.

Teranga: Torbay’s Cultural and Diversity Festival

After a long, 12 hours of night duty, i went home, got myself cleaned and dressed and waited for my friend to pick me up. Ican’t wait for this so called cultural festival where Filipinos are participating in the events. I haven’t been to one yet, so uber excited and lola nyo!

Finally after waiting for a couple of hours, my friend and her family finally arrived. We picked up another friend (aking nanay-nanayan) for she’s coming as well. Torbay in the other side of the river, literally! So we boarded on a ferry and off we go. Inside the car, ofcourse chika chika chika na walang katapusan (ingles pa rin kami ng ingles kc yong asawa ng kaibigan nmin di intindi tagalog e) So after 30 to 45 minutes, we finally arived. So many people! Walang parking. So we have to be dropped off and my friend can look for a parking space while we can go ahead and see what’s happening.

(JUST POINT YOUR POINTER ON THE LITRAKS!)

The Venue: Oldway Mansion, Paignton

 And here are some of what happened,

 

 

Actually I’m uber sa galit sa partner kong camera bigla ba namang nadedo and battery nang sasayaw na ang mga Pinay! Litsi! Litsi! Litsi! talaga! At marami rin akong na miss piktyuran dahil simultaneous ang mga happennings! Kung di ka naman maloka! Other than these there were other cultural dances (Thai, Indian etc…etc…), Samba Jam, Egyptian Drumming, Classical Music, Singing, Salsa Dancing, Music jamming session, Arts and Crafts, Pottery, Hair Braiding, Face Painting, Hand Painting and Graffiti workshops. There are traditional story tellings, model making, mask making, head massaging, reiki demo, etc…etc…. and the most important of all, THERE ARE LOTS OF FOOD! Filipino, Thai, Indian, Polish, Carribean, Spanish, Morrocan etc…etc…

And what about the Filipinos? Where are they?

Eto po kami…este mga kasamAhan ko pala kasi allergic ako sa picture kaya sila ang napagtripan kong kunan ng litraks! hahaha! (SHY KUNYARI!)

And whats the nicest thing about this lakwatsa is it’s FREE! Except for the food ofcourse. You can play, sing, dance, jam, whatever! All the materials are provided and all you have to do is join the fun! Ako enjoy siempre, i played, tried juggling, graffitti, painted, ate, shop, ate again, sang, danced, ate again, jammed with the egyptian drummers (as in! marunong pala ako mag drums!), ate again…. I thoroughly enjoyed the day with my friends.

There you go folks, till the next lakwatsa….

Usyosera ba. At eto nga! bunga ng kaka usyoso,  ayan laughing experience nman ang ntagpuan ko ngayon! kaya, eto para pa ring baliw na ngingiti ngiti habang nagtatype nitong post. Sana lang pag gising ko bukas normal na ulit ako. LOL!
