I'm haunted by all
the space that I
will live without
you.

--Boo, Forever

sometimes it is love♥

POET: RAY KROFT

I LOVE YOU/ NOT ONLY FOR WHAT

YOU ARE BUT FOR WHAT I AM/

WHEN I AM WITH YOU...

I LOVE YOU/ NOT ONLY FOR WHAT

YOU'VE MADE OF YOURSELF BUT

FOR WHAT/ YOU ARE MAKING

OF ME...

I LOVE YOU/ FOR THE PART OF ME/

THAT YOU BRING OUT, / I LOVE YOU/

FOR PUTTING YOUR HAND INTO

MY HEAPED-UP HEART AND

PASSING OVER/ ALL FOOLISH

WEAK THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T

HELP/ DIMLY SEEING THERE.

AND FOR DRAWING OUT/ INTO THE

LIFE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL BELONGINGS

THAT NO ONE ELSE HAD LOOKED/

QUITE FAR ENOUGH TO FIND.

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE

HELPING TO MAKE/ OF THE

LUMBER OF MY LIFE NOT A

TOWER/ BUT A TEMPLE; OUT

OF WORKS/ OF EVERY DAY

NOT A REPROACH/ BUT A SONG...

(kenjisan..imissyoutons..)

heart of life

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

para ni nimu kermit.

 

 

And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

LOVE IS A PERSON

Love can't be pinned down by a definition, and it certainly can't be proved, any more than anything else important in life can be proved. Love is people, is a person. A friend of ours, Hugh Bishop of Mirfield, says in one of his books: "Love is not an emotion. It is a policy." Those words have often helped me when all my feelings were unlovely. In a summer household as large as ours I often have to act on those words. I am slowly coming to understand with my heart as well as my head that love is not a feeling. It is a person.

An important job

"Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because I've been provided shelter for my mind and body.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me."

Ehrmann

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,  (wahaha-ako ba dapat inyu e-avoid?)
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

...

Exposed beyond the shadows
You take the cup from me
Your dirt removes my blindness
Your pain becomes my peace

Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

blessing in disguise cguro na dich will not have a reason to move to piayaland. and that i will be stuck here. i guess, cebu(or maybe lilo-an even) is their's to claim. the place had been our home the past 3 years... so, i guess, that should be where home is and where kenji should grow up- this way he can actually speak english without feeling kiwaw about it.  again, liloan represent! iknow that city is not that safe, pero it has always made ppl feel better, point being, we don't feel safe but, better.

jelly beans

   and licorice sticks

    green mangoes

and lollipops being licked

   it makes sense, the world is

sweet not sick.

 

 

 

 

‘98

a world full of people

never will I stand a chance

of seeing you

again

 

 

 

20 September 2000/ 625pm

 

I feel for you

I’ll wait for you

I live, I pray

I long for you, and

I can imagine

That you’ll never know.

 

 

 

God- shobe’s tanka ‘98

 

Creator of love

Of things beyond and above

Creator of all

Things very big and so small

I will listen when You call.

pink glitters

and colored sand,

coming in blue, purple,

pale yellow and red,

sweet smell of dried lavender,

wishing that the whole

world looked and smelled this good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In aeternum

In aeternum I was once determed

For to have loved and

My mind affirmed that with…my

Love it should be confirmed in

Aeternum.

 

 

July 10, 2006

 

I know that love is forever but, I do not think that waiting for a job offer can take forever. If the plans to move to piyaya land won’t take place. I’ve to start over again. But, am never ever going to go back to aol. No, thank you very much.

 

 

So raen, tell me something about yourself that is not stated in your CV… hi am raen, I’m 24 years old, and am broke.

 

 

 

 

Ending in my fave movie quotes…

 

I could not sooner choose a favorite star in the heavens.

she belonged to the twilight and mists.

Words left unspoken

Gentle touch suspended,

Give me the reason

Tell me…why?

if to forget, I must,

      time be my friend.

Wait for me

I came from a country

Of little people,

I’m not used to giant steps,

Wait for me

 

25 September 70

 

 

 

and so the day ends

life will go on

  I am

What your faith

   Has created:

A tiny link

In this long chain of humanity.

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good."

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving

but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

THE BIRD WITH THE THORN IN ITS BREAST, IT FOLLOWS AN IMMUTABLE LAW; IT IS DRIVEN BY IT, KNOWS NOT WHAT IMPALES ITSELF, AND ARE SINGING. AT THE VERY INSTANT THE THORN ENTERS THERE IS NO AWARENESS IN IT OF THE DYING TO COME; IT SIMPLY SINGS AND SINGS UNTIL THERE IS NOT THE LIFE IN IT TO UTTER ANOTHER NOTE. BUT WE, WHEN WE PUT THORNS IN OUR BREASTS, WE KNOW. WE UNDERSTAND. AND STILL WE DO IT.... *sigh* --------->the thorn bird
