(Rothko, Mark. No. 301. [Red & Blue over Red] c. 1959.
Oil & acrylic with powdered pigments on canvas.
Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angles, California, US.)

--Rothko's flowing rectangles, shades of red--

o'er mountains where the sun begins to fade
sitting wistfully by the ruined shed
a man, Narcissus, was heard to have prayed

"right when all the world's dried up you came to
inspire me like a river of roses-
overflow, nourish these bleak wastes anew"

Petals lovingly blessed by a goddess
enveloped the ground like a blanket of
red snow- only fragrant and inviting
as spring and as heartwarming like a soft
lover's embrace.. but also as fleeting.

ephemeral images in the mind
zephyr stirs the memories left behind.

(a fragmented sonnet;
first page.. ~narcissus / snssıɔɹɐu~)

earlier I promised in FB a sonnet (sort of)
so here it is =D

============================

I will always be inspired -by your grace-
each day begins with me thinking of you.
My face brightens up..like how the sun's rays
strike precious crystalline morning dew.

"I'm lost in admiration" Reach out. Touch.
-still trying to still these trembling fingers-
my Morning Muse, "could I need you this much"?
Round and round, images of you linger.

Caught in a whirlpool, anticipation
of having you just keeps on building up
like that sought after romantic union-
ecstacy contained in a modest cup.

Lips slowly part- a silent sigh of bliss..
awaiting your intoxicating kiss.

============================

You keep me alive as the cliche goes..
As a tribute I made this short humble prose.

A day's not a day without you..
you are my first thought come morning.

Your smell fills me with bliss..
can't wait any longer for that intoxicating kiss.

Living Jonathan's Life

2010-10-17T20:40:00.000-07:00

For Jonathan
His Poetry and His Valor
Will Live in Our Hearts Forever.
August 16, 1961- July 23, 1993
-Jonathan's Epitaph

This is not a book report =P

Why I purchased the book.. the title caught my eye
*cough narcissist *cough
Srsly though..the back cover text stirred my curiosity

A true story of identical twin brothers, each fighting similar physical and emotional battles. One would lose his life; the other would nearly self-destruct.

"The day I watched my identical twin brother die before my eyes, I experienced a loss that was devastating and without comparison. With his passing, I lost much more than a best friend, a confidante, and a brother; I lost a human mirror, a reflection into which I had always been able to look and from which I could gain strength. When Jonathan died, that once-radiant mirror turned black as stone. I could no longer see myself as I did before, let alone see myself living without him. His disease had claimed me, too."

Meowbrowsed the pages.. the author's prologue

In an ironic twist of fate, I would come to draw strength and courage to rebuild my own life from a most unexpected source- Jonathan's secret poetry, kept hidden until after his death. The mysteries of who he really was and what I was to become would be revealed at a crossroads in my crisis.

is like a siren's call that kitteh can't resist but to answer with a
"meowstbuy this book."

What follows is one of Jonathan's poems..

Memory of Autumn

Remember the days of moments past
That fade from memory like withered grass,
The simple pleasures- once a smile, now a sigh,
Those childhood questions that found no reply,
The corner drugstore in the late afternoon,
That old Victrola playing somber, faded tunes.

Remember the sunrise, now see how it sets,
That sun shined brightly to dim all regrets,
Those birds that once sang to children each day,
That laughter -that sun- it was destined to stay,
The young never cried and the old never sinned.
But the memory of autumn is caught by the wind.

Ah, how one remembers the days that fell like rain,
The morn' that brought the sunshine-
the eve that witnessed the pain.
Ages that time has lost from sight, some hold with their mind.
Yet though life seems to keep most well, many hearts are blind.
For love is blocked by virgin hearts, and value marred by time.

Rising from our tired swings, we move across the porch,
The dark sky holds our anguish- we no longer bear the torch,
Indeed we laugh for all the days a tear could not detain.
And one who laughs resolves the truth
Then sadly weeps again.
For the memory of autumn is caught quickly by the wind.

Remember the days of moments past.
They bloom like roses
Then break like glass.

-Jonathan Elliot Davis

*kitteh sigh

"..just a little bit of love could mean so much.."

Our last goodbye 'still a haunting echo
of chances not taken..
promises that lay broken

sad useless remnants
of a precious beauty that once was.

Cosplay

2010-08-29T07:44:00.000-07:00

From teh Almighty wiki:

Cosplay (コスプレ, kosupure?), short for "costume roleplay",
is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes
and accessories to represent a specific character or idea.
Characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan.
Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai and fantasy movies.

lyrics mine...

~Last Dance~

As we dance
our romance
we turn in circles so gracefully.

Holding hands
lost in trance
our world rotates oh so perfectly.

You're with me..
you're with me.
That's all that matters..serenity.

i'm with you..
i'm with you.
That's where i always would want to be.

Beyond the rainbow's bend
flows our moon river that will never end.

a character in my (St)itching Stories book project.
lyrics written by Ferdinand for Shiri...
again characters in the aforementioned project.

Stars Book Project Main Characters:
Orestes Seguerra
Cassiopeia Ortaleza
Aurora Estrella

Overview:
Love Story? Yes.
Triangle? Yes.
Sex scene? *giggles
Project I have in mind is divided into 3 arcs,
intertwined events as seen through the eyes of each character.

I am still developing characters...
Orestes' sketch is close to mine
(yay vanity)
Cassiopeia's and Aurora's,
the women I admire.

Stars' lyrical genius will of course serve as an inspiration.

Paper Crane

2010-08-02T05:09:00.000-07:00

My therapy has become my current addiction
:|
Folding paper cranes everyday...
I've lost count of how many I've folded
(I've asked for at least 2 prayers :D )

from teh Almighty wiki:

Thousand Origami Cranes (Senbazuru?)
is a group of one thousand origami paper cranes held together by strings.
An ancient Japanese legend promises
that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury.
The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures
(others include the dragon and the tortoise),
and is said to live for a thousand years.
In Asia, it is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes
makes a person's wish come true.
This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family.

The Thousand Origami Cranes has become a symbol of world peace
through the story of Sadako Sasaki,
a Japanese girl who tried to stave off her death from leukemia
as a result of radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II
by making one thousand origami cranes,
having folded only 644 before her death,
and that her friends completed and buried them all with her.
(This is only one version of the story.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum states that she did,
in fact, complete the 1,000 cranes.)

Cranes I've done and left behind:
Philippine National 2010 Election,
I campaigned for Richard Gordon...
he lost
:|
but am proud that my cranes netted at least 3 votes...
:|

Every single crane bears the words Air Gordon.

A review...of sorts:

From one writer to another:
All of your outputs are but scoriae of your own discretions.
It is a lesser metaphor of your conciousness.
Shit as shit is.
In all the grandeur of any of your work,
they are but the excreta of a greater mind.
But in the shit that there is,
one could abstract what its host has been consuming.
What vile parasites dwell in the bowels of his ego.
You'll see what sort of disease festers his soul.
This is so because shits don't lie...
And shit as shit is and shit would be,
shit smells.
Hell, it does.
It is meant to be smelled and whiffed around.
But some shits get flushed in a cesspool.
'Hope your shit won't.
'Hope your shit is like the shit in a paper bag stashed on a moldy overpass...
for all the people to enjoy.

On a different light, take this epigram...
"...the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd
keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."

CAPS OFF...BILLY MAYS

2010-07-20T14:50:00.000-07:00

AS REQUESTED...POSTED AT MY FB WALL:

Orestes Seguerra
Orestes attended HONORARY
BILLY MAYS CAPS LOCK DAY. ·

"In honor of Billy Mays,
we should all take the time to memorialize his death,
and to remember him.
We should all take the anniversary of his birth
and take on his task of communicating,
or "projecting" in the manner that he did.
So, in honor of Billy Mays,
please remember to communicate in all caps
on every July 20th from now on."

BLOG THIS ONE!!!

WHO THE HELL IS BILLY MAYS YOU MIGHT ASK
(I ASKED THE SAME Q MYSELF LOLZ)...
FROM TEH ALMIGHTY WIKI:

William Darrell "Billy" Mays, Jr.
(July 20, 1958 – June 28, 2009)
was an American television direct-response advertisement salesperson
most notable for promoting OxiClean, Orange Glo,
and other cleaning, home-based, and maintenance products.
His distinctive beard and impassioned sales pitches
made him a recognized television presence in the United States and Canada.

...DISTINCTIVE BEARD...
RAWR! YOU'RE MY NEW CHUCK NORRIS!

MADE ME REMEMBER THIS ONE TIME
WHEN I WAS STROLLING INSIDE A MALL AND I
STOPPED TO WINDOW SHOP FOR A PAIR OF SANDALS FOR TREKKING.

I REALLY HAVE NO INTENTION OF BUYING...
BUT MADPROPZ TO THE SALESMAN.
HE KNEW HIS PRODUCT WELL...
GAVE ME AN IMPROMPTU
(AND UNSOLICITED) LECTURE
(BUT HELL...I WAS KILLING TIME ANYWAY)
ON THE NICETIES OF THE SANDALS
AND A GEOGRAPHY LESSON TO BOOT
(THE PRODUCT LINE IS KILIMANJARO)

SO...WAS IT A GOOD BUY?
YES.
(THE ITEM I BOUGHT IS ON SALE, 60% OFF I THINK. STINGY ME)

THE PRODUCT HAS A 6 MONTHS WARRANTY...
ALMIGHTY SALESMAN SAID IF THE SOLE WEARS OUT FAST
I CAN RETURN IT AND HE'LL GIVE ME A NEW ONE.
SO I MADE IT A POINT TO USE THE FOOTWEAR A LOT
(NYAHAHAHA)
AND I AM SURPRISED BY ITS TOLERANCE TO ABUSE.
I STILL HAVE THE PAIR
BUT IT'S NOT IN TIP TOP CONDITION ANYMORE
(DATE OF PURCHASE: 2003)

GOING BACK TO BILLY MAYS...
CAPS OFF TO YOU SIR!
SCROLLING DOWN YOUR WIKI ARTICLE
I AM AMAZED BY THE LONG LIST OF YOUR NOTABLE PRODUCTS.
YOU ARE NOW MY NEWEST HERO.

(St)itching Stories

-reflection III-

~ripple nineteen~

Wedged between the pages
I found
perfumed rose petals
embraced by calligraphed poems you composed.

Tonight under this candlelight
I'll read them all again
for the last time as promised.

Disillusioned.

These words are what they are
-words-
cleverly arranged
with each stroke controlled, practiced and designed
to entice my eyes
ensnare my heart
with their well- calculated beauty
-only-
artificiality has long lost its effect on me.

As the candle lights brighter
ashes wave my goodbye...
to your beautifully crafted lie.

“Are you sure that you wanna open up a chapter with this poem?”

“Why not? A blade-wielding letter-burning emo of a poem to slice and dice, melt and vaporize the cheesiness of the previous one.”

“I see your point. If you put it that way...still, such a mood killer.”

“I remember telling you that I’m going to mince Orestes’ heart into tiny lil cute pieces.”

“Poor pesky boy. But hey! You made Aurora write that opening poem!”

“Of course. Don’t you see? It fits the story perfectly. Orestes regularly sends calligraphed poems to Aurora. Aurora at first is naturally flattered even impressed. Later on she sees Orestes with another woman. Jealousy claims another victim, thus the poem.”

“Oh. Huh? What chapter is that at? I read your draft thrice and I can’t recall that part.”

“Forgot to tell you that I am working on a supplementary arc, this time as seen through the eyes of Aurora. Same timeline, overlapping chain of events and as for the ending... I still dunno if she’ll be the one to mend Orestes’ heart or I dunno.”

“An idea- have somebody else mend it. You could have pesky Orestes pester another woman. Then he’ll burst into a rather bittersweet declamation on how Aurora is but like a false dawn ...and now he finally met the woman who would be the one to usher in a series of lovely days.”

“Good one! I definitely like it! I’m going to overhaul Orestes’ arc then and try to blend it with Aurora’s. What about the other woman? Should I give her a separate arc?”

“It’s really up to you but please for the love of all that is good don’t let her be Aurora’s bestfriend or a friend of Orestes who secretly admires him. Please spare the world form another trite-angle.”

“Roger that. Now, what shall her name be?”

“Hmm...Dawn?”

“Haha! How about Liwayway?”

“Oh my...kawaii! How about let her be a he. Have Quirinus take the job.”

“But please for the love of all that is good don’t let her be Aurora’s bestfriend or a friend of Orestes who secretly admires him.”

“What’re you, a tape recorder? Since you’re into using names from myths, why not baptize her with another one?”

“Electra?”

“Suggests incest, pervert. Why not Clytemnestra instead?”

“Haha! Oedipus will be vexed. Hmm. Hermione? If I remember correctly there’s a version where Orestes eventually inherited his father’s kingdom and married Hermione.”

“Good one. But if you ask me, think of another one Harry. How about Selene since Orestes is a lunatic?”

“Selene. Has a sweet ring to it. Selene. No. The association is quite cheesy to my liking. Turned down by Aurora at day, received love from Selene at night.”

“I thought you were a big fan of cheese? It’d be really hard to find a name to rival Aurora’s. Such a beautiful name. An enchanting display of light across the night sky.”

“Night sky. A name of a star perhaps? Hmm...a constellation.”

“Cassiopeia.” “Cassiopeia.”

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain... See More
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save...

Pesky heart Michelle

Hello my pesky....
have a great whatever you are doing...
thanks for all the smiles always...
you are a wonderful young man....
a long quote for you... xxxx

I've learned.....
That when you plan to get even with someone,
are are only letting the person continue to hurt you.

That the easiest way for me to grow as a person,
is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

That everyone you meet, deserves to be greeted with a smile.

That Love, not Time, heals all wounds.

That no-one is perfect, until you fall in love with them.

That life is tough, but I am tougher.

That opportunities are never lost,
someone will take the ones you miss.

That when you harbor bitterness,
happiness will dock elsewhere.

That one should keep his/her words soft and tender,
because tomorrow he/she may have to eat them.

That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

That I cannot choose how I feel,
but I can choose what I do about it.

That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain,
but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

That it is best to give advice in only two circumstances:
when it is requested and when it is a life threatening situation.

That the less time I have to work with,
the more things get done.

That the best classroom in the world,
is at the feet of an elderly person.

That when you are in love, it shows.

That just one person saying to me:
"You've made my day!", makes my day.

That being kind is more important than being right.

That you should never say "no" to a gift from a child.

That I can always pray for someone
when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.

That no matter how serious your life requires you to be,
everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

That sometimes, all a person needs,
is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

That simple walks with my father
around the block on summer nights when I was a child,
did wonders for me as an adult.

That life is like a roll of toilet paper,
the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

That money does not buy class.

That it is those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

That under everyone's hard shell,
is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.....

always and forever, Mxxx

it's quite a meticulous process though, mating bettas...

the male wraps around the female,

then the male swoops and scoops down the eggs
and places em in his pre-made bubble nest. =)

I keep mine in a 2.5gal tank (small "cute" fishbowls are cruel)
though I used to keep one in a 10gal tank...
betta paradise hehehehe

Yoriko Dixon
‎:-) I saw these fish in a "cute" bowl, but I didn't think it was OK.
Yes, It looked very ornamental, but it is LIFE you are talking about.;-)
At least you give some space to move around on it's own will
and enjoy a captive life a bit.
I think you are giving him a good life ♥ :-)

Jnthn Rmrz
Thank you =)
it's true what other fishkeepers say:
"There's a big difference between thriving and just surviving."
A clever analogy would be like
(if you're keeping a betta in a cute lil bowl)...
imagine yourself in a 1mx1mx1m habitat,
and someone would just give you things to eat...
and you have to poo and pee on your habitat to match >.<
Besides, the lazy fish-sellers excuse that
"bettas don't like to swim so it's better to keep em in small bowls"
is a stupid excuse to save space...
when I placed my betta in a 10gal tank,
he swam a lot...
though I have to separate him yet again
coz he terrorized my rainbow shark hehehe.

William Dager
Found this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grp16wblYJQ
It doesn't show the prelude to mating,
which can seem quite violent (notice their torn fins).
The father 'blows' the eggs into the nest after he 'squeezes' them out of his mate, fertilizes them and picks them up.
Just like Jnthn said.
Male Betta's are very territorial and should not be kept together.

Asus... ikaw talaga.

Jnthn Rmrz
I am just being faithful to my calling =P
unlike em Xian hypocrites
(I admire some Xian friends of mine though...
am not generalizing on this one)
who preach and teach virtues at day
then commit atrocities at night...
then pray to their God to make their sins magically go away...
only to repeat the cycle
commit sin- pray for absolution- commit sin blahblah.

Dale Lagayada
Well, I respect your opinion... hahaha!

Jnthn Rmrz
thank you for respecting my disrespect to your Pope =)

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.
Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” -Mahatma Gandhi

William Dager
Know I will get in trouble here.
Never deny someone their faith.
That is their belief and they accept it.
If their religion offers absolution for what some of us may consider wrong,
who are we to condemn it.
There are, and always will be people that interpret religion to their own.
History has many examples of that.

Jnthn Rmrz
But if their so called "faith" does harm to others...
will you still tolerate it?
"...who are we to condemn it." ...
"God" gave us free will and reason
(chuckles at meowblasphemy) as a gift, yes?
A gift not used is insult to the giver, so I believe I am honoring Him by attacking the stupidity of His chosen ones.
Tolerance of atrocity leads to more atrocity.
History has many examples of that too.

William Dager
All religions have historically harmed others. Which is the correct one?

Jnthn Rmrz
One of the reason I chose not to have any.

William Dager
You have chosen one Jnthn,
just not one that is commercially accepted.
You have chosen to live your life by the rules that you hold as basic beliefs.
That is the basis of all religions.
The texts that have been interpreted from ancient times
are always subject to what they saw and the way they lived
and the way people in our time wish to make it relevant to the way we live now.

Jnthn Rmrz
Reason is my religion.

William Dager
Well... Reason can be interpreted by others also.
What you consider reason could be interpreted as hostile
to those that disagree with you.
Just live your life with your beliefs.
Don't call it a religion,
but a way to understand all the consequences of the actions in your life.
You are the only one that makes those decisions
and you will find out how you did when you leave.
Told ya I would get in trouble here. ;}

Here's another collection of comments when I reposted the aforementioned blog:

Jnthn Rmrz via Beatriz Torre:

Pope Benedict has repeatedly attacked homosexuality and gay marriage in
the last few years, along with equality laws, abortion, contraception
and the use of condoms to fight HIV. In an end-of year address in 2008, the Pope said that the existence of gay people threatens humanity as much as the destruction of the rainforest does and that "blurring" genders through acceptance of
transgender people would kill off the human race.
He has also attacked the use of condoms to tackle HIV, saying they may make the problem worse.

Jnthn Rmrz
He must have been so high.

Julie Vass
Wow, that's all I have to say!

Jnthn Rmrz
quoted from the article: "It would be an extraordinary irony if those who polemicise past intolerance by churches are to become themselves the proponents of intolerance towards churches."

Agreed...Perhaps the infallible pope once again heard divine voices to launch another bloody crusade...when he got an oh so fleeting feeling when he inhaled the fumes of the almighty burning bush of cannabis.
rawr.

Julie Vass
I think it is more an intolerance towards stupidity.
Maybe he should be more worried about the pedophile priests.

Jnthn Rmrz
em all knowing high-ranking Xians have it all figured out...
they'll just "pay" the victims to settle the matter...
and srsly...
they have the nerve to condemn legalized prostitution.

Julie Vass
And then they get sent somewhere else and commit the same crimes.

Jnthn Rmrz
preaching on the outside...itching on the inside...

Julie Vass
Yep!

Jnthn Rmrz
methinks am going to enjoy a heart attack...lolz >.<

Julie Vass
How old is the Pope anyway?

Jnthn Rmrz
‎83. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_XVI

Julie Vass
They sure do a lot of "denouncing" , don't they?

Jnthn Rmrz
They're infallible...that's all.

2010 World Cup, The Netherlands vs Spain

This blog is in response to the blog
Why all soccer fans should root for Holland to lose to Spain.

booo mooo!!!

I said mooo instead of the usual meow
coz at the moment I am role-playing as a cow in FB,
(profile pic at the moment)

to support The Netherlands...for the milk! for the cows! Mooooo!!!

I <3 this quote...
from the aforementioned blog:

"...Cruyff, in particular, became a kind of guru of aesthetic purity, insisting long after it became untenable that Holland should always play with three strikers, and issuing grandiose statements like "there is no better medal than being acclaimed for your style.

As a philosophy of sports, this is obviously somewhat limited. Games are played to be won, not to serve as quixotic displays of good taste."

The Big Question is:

Will Spanish Don Quixote slay the Dutch Windmill?

Jejejejejejejejejeje

Hmmm...

Orange Milking Cows vs Red Raging Bulls...
which team'll prevail?

Noynoy, you've already made your point.
Now please just use those damned sirens.
Your time is too precious
and you risk getting assassinated every time you stop at a red light.
Besides, it's really okay for us
as long as it's only you and 4 other people -
Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, and Chief Justice -
who blast their way through traffic.

Vanilla
it may be okay for you, but not for some.
whatever he promised pertaining to the "wang-wang," must be upheld.
after all, he does not want to lose his credibility as a president
who desires change.. people voted for him because of that.
besides, that would pressure the mmda, traffic enforcers
and the PNP to maximize their time, resources and ability to minimize,
if not eliminate, heavy traffic and street crimes.

Vanilla
furthermore, he can still work while in his car by using laptops and CPs;
his cabinet members can meet him earlier in his house
and ride with him on his way to malacañang.
he has to win the hearts of Filipinos, not by merely representing them,
but also by doing tangible albeit small acts
since it's more difficult for him to lose track of hopeful Filipinos
who believe in him despite of his inexperience.
he may also prove his critiques wrong.

Okay, okay, how could I refute the flawless logic of the one person to whom I always lose an argument?

On Writing

2010-07-05T21:09:00.000-07:00

Currently I am developing two book projects,
(R)evolution and ~narcissus / snssıɔɹɐu~
The former is a bloody one, (hell yeah debauchery XD)
the latter is a tearjerker.

You might ask, "Why develop two projects at the same time?"
My answer...because it is easy.
Oh so easy.

“Writing is easy:
All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper
until drops of blood form on your forehead.”
-Gene Fowler

"Make every drop count."
-Gluttony to Wrath,
(R)evolution

(R)evolution book project info:

Wrath is a writer by day and an assassin by night
All of her drafts are written in blood.
"I use the blood of men I despise as my ink...
my inkwell will never run dry."

===============================

God was walking down a road one day,
and he saw a man crying.
"Why do you weep, son?" asked God.
And the man answered:
"Heavenly Father, I am a politician. I want to do so much, but I am surrounded by corruption. What shall I do?"

So God put His hand on the politician's head and prayed for him.
Then God went down the road again,
and He met a woman, likewise crying her heart out.
"Why do you weep, my daughter?" God asked.
And the woman answered:
"Heavenly Father, I am a mother.
I want the best for my children,
and I do not know how to bring this about!"

Again, God put His hand on the mother's head and prayed for her.
Further down the road,
God met another person, beating his chest and heavily sobbing.
"Why do you weep, child?" asked God.
"Heavenly Father," came the answer, "I am a writer."

God did not wait for the statement to finish.
He, in His Holiness, sat down and wept alongside the writer.

Taking a break from writing debauchery
(se7en blogs prior to this one are rough character profiles
of my (R)Evolution book project)
I changed my profile pic in FB with the above photo
and had this one set as a status to match:

Jnthn Rmrz
You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me. Meow.
9 hours ago Friends Only · Comment · Like

The following is yet another memorable convo I had with Taka...
enjoy reading, kitties. This is how I unwind. Meow.

William Dager
I am your father Luke.

Jnthn Rmrz
I've been waiting for you, Taka. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the master. Meow.

William Dager
I am Luke's father... not yours... hehe..

William Dager
really wish I had the infinity char to post here

Jnthn Rmrz
The force is strong with this one. Meow
∞

William Dager
the dual circles of infinity provide knowledge for both the learner and the master.

Jnthn Rmrz
For me it symbolizes more than that...it's more like...two doughnuts side by side. Meow.

William Dager
The learner is part of one circle and the master is part also. Dual circles allow each to learn from each circle and teach each circle. No doughnuts allowed... well maybe a maple bar... but that's not really a doughnut.

Jnthn Rmrz
NO DOUGHNUTS!!! My minions' morale will go down...
"Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them."
2 side by side onion rings it is.

(am having fun ripping em Vader quotes hehehe
http://equotes.wetpaint.com/page/Darth+Vader+Quotes)

William Dager
Now Onion Rings are universal. Tempura onion rings are cosmic and give all the answers to the questions of the universe. They always seem to get 'fried' together (infinity circles). Don't forget the string beans, japanese eggplant and yams. Tempura is a religious experience.

Jnthn Rmrz
"I sense something, a presence I've not felt since......." ...dinner
*stomach grumbles

William Dager
A good pizza is but a singular circle, but does satisfy some craving.

Jnthn Rmrz
Pizza!!!
"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force."
The ability to devour pans of great pizza is something else.

William Dager
ah.. the force of pizza or tempura. How does that match to the power of the force?

Jnthn Rmrz
"You don't know the power of the dark side!"

William Dager
the lovely thin crispy crust of pizza... or the crisp tempura battered vegetables that we all love. OH.. Tempura Shrimp...that delicacy is NOT from the dark side. It would never turn.

Jnthn Rmrz
Must...resist...
*looks at his reflection
"You are unwise to lower your defenses!"

William Dager
I sense something in you that is disturbing the force. The desire to have Tempura... Shrimp Tempura...You cannot resist. The Cha Gio will show you the way. You cannot resist the way of good.

Jnthn Rmrz
"Desire? What desire?"
A lowly henchman enters the scene, then asks, "Should I remove these platters of doughnuts, onion rings, tempura and pizza your evil Darthness?"
"No. Leave them to me. I will deal with them myself."

William Dager
well.. I see that good has won over the dark side. Did you enjoy the pizza?

Jnthn Rmrz
I enjoyed the pizza.
The pizza didn't enjoy what I did.

"A BUTCHER!!!", Cassandra's mother yelped in surprise. "You are my favorite daughter, sweet little thing...my doll." Cassandra's mother stroked her 12 year old daughter's face then tucked stray strands of hair behind her perfectly shaped ear. Cassandra shivered. "You can be anything you want to be honey, your IQ results are in. You are a genius. Now, why do you want to be a butcher?"

Cassandra looked her mother straight in the eye. Almond shaped eyes unblinking, she replied monotonously, "Men are pigs."

The Naming of Cats

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey -
All of them sensible everyday names.

There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter -
But all of them sensible everyday names.

But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?

Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum -
Names that never belong to more than one cat.

But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover -
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

- T.S. Eliot
(from "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats")

BETWEEN-LIVING
by Edith Tiempo

When we love a wanderer,
We wait for footsteps
That may, or may not, come:
First the hours-the-days-
Then-years. Then, never.
Yet always we do know
Whereof we wait:
The creaking gate
The scraping on the steps
And at the door the level gaze;
For these we wait to know
The roving one is home.

We boast of a green thumb
And coax the stems to bloom:
Hibiscus, santan, the wholesome
Cabbage rose; and make ambitious room
For gardenias, irises, and orchids,
(Taking time to scour the aphids)
And maybe, soon or late
The flowers show;
But always we do know
Whereof we wait:
The nectar and the odors,
And the windblown blazing colors.

So it's the space between
The wishing and the end
That is the true unknown;
The massive world's timekeeping
And our own agile flow
Never to blend.

And thus we care,
And thus we live
Not for the end
(Since that is not unknown),
It is the wait, creative
Life and love in full;
Unfinished, uncertain, unknown,
Yet mocking the know end
That comes sooner,
Later, or not at all.

(St)itching Stories
~reflection 1~
~ripple four~

Hours are drained.
Pouring arrogant rain,
bow to my will.

“Unique! What did I tell you? The rain would stop in an hour, and it did!”

“Yes it did.”

“Look! A rainbow!”

“Where?”

“There.”

“Where?”

“There!”

“Where?”

“Go find yourself someone else to tease.”
Smiles. “A rainbow. To quote: He felt much as a man who might have danced blithely out to enjoy a rainbow and was greeted by lightning.”

“Ah. Still unhappy about your paper’s grade, I suppose.”

“Unhappy... me? Why should I be? Hear this: I started to write that composition a week before the deadline, and I strongly believe that that composition is the best one I’ve ever written so far. Yet I only managed to get the same grade as someone like you, who wrote his paper overnight. Why should I be unhappy? I, after all, do not deserve a flat 1.”

“I knew it from the moment I saw you: you are one of those conceited persons. Hmm. Anyway, I would take your statement as a compliment. Hmm. Why can’t I stop humming? Hmm. By the way, who are you quoting this time?”

“Mark Twain, The Prince and the Pauper.”

“I never finished reading that one. But I do remember that back in high school, we were required to submit a diary of one of the characters in that story. Guess whose diary I made.”

“I am in no condition to guess.”

“Well, since I only managed to read up to the part where the pauper is thought to be the real prince gone mad, I know only a few characters and I do not know how they were developed. I then decided to write a diary inscribed in the mind of a palace guard who died defending a secret passage from an assassin.”

“Haha! Quite imaginative. What did your teacher say? I’d bet he or she got angry with you for trying to outsmart him or her.”

“Not really. She was amused, and praised me for it.”

“Lucky lazy boy.”

“That I was, and still am I think. Hmm... I still cannot take my eyes off that rainbow.”

“Yes, it is beautiful. Probably the most vivid and fullest rainbow I have ever seen. I just wonder...”

“What?”

“If rainbows are meant to make people smile, why are they then shaped like big frowns painted in the sky?”

“Perhaps you just need to look at it in a different way.”

“Meaning?”

“Why not try and bend over, put your head between your legs and look at it upside down. Then you’ll see a big smile.”

“Big smile? I wonder where–-on the sky or on your face. Nice try to see me bending over, pervert.”

“I was merely suggesting a way to have a better view. Of the rainbow I mean. I am not a pervert. You know it.”

“‘Flash your beautiful teats- I mean teeth’. HA!!!”

“It is called ‘style’...”

“Yeah right. Feel free to call your sickness anything you like. Hey look, the rainbow is slowly fading away.”

“How, sad. Why so soon?”

“Hmm... The beautiful ones are often the first to go.”

Intoxicated with a
violin's cry of
yearning...
...and then the strings break off.

#2
My beloved-
always a pleasure to
relish the sweet
image of you starting to
arise by my side.

Beyond those still sleepy eyes
lies the soul that has
enchanted me-
singing praises
inspiring phrases-
lines of
a poem expressing how much you are adored.

Ethereal yet ephemeral; ephemeral yet ethereal-
simple smile from your lips:
picturesque
image that’d
never fade from my memory-
angelic is not enough to describe it.

Life,
ardent spirit of yours
narrates every
dream of mine. Blissful
reality is what you have given me. Now,
i can sing this line, serenely...
this heart
of yours was worth the wait, my love.

#3
Night has come-
enchanting hearts, minds and souls,,
rapture of
incindiere
starlight and moonlight
shining from up
above.

Morning will come-
overcome this enchanting illusion,,
reality oh so
alluring it might as well be an illusion itself..
life and love sparkle as they wait hand in hand for that
expressive golden sunburst to
set ablaze their horizon.

Obsession

[start of convo]

Jnthn Rmrz
Thank you for following teh kitteh blog =)
I am on a blogging rampage today, posted another one hehehe

Adrienne M Kennedy
what's new topic?

Jnthn Rmrz
hmm...gimme one =)

Adrienne M Kennedy
obsessions or "true" happiness

[end of convo]

Since we are the ones who define "true" happiness,
I'll opt to blog about obsession.
(One of my obsessions that is,
since every definition is subjective
and there're various obsessions.
wiki agrees...Obsession)

Hmm...

I am obsessed with myself.

I am a narcissist.

I am not your stereotypical narcissist...
I will not self-destruct.
On second thought...
Actually I am beginning to hate myself,
which is good.
I intend to destroy all the things that i hate about myself
so as to leave only the things that i love.

I could go on and on talking about myself on this blog...
but it'd better to post this prose written by Jem:

we're vain,
we're pretty creatures inlove with our own faces (lol),
we get jealous easily,
we make people envy,
we're short tempered (youre way much short tempered than I am though, heh :p),
we love love,
we easily fall asleep,
we eat alot,
we love the breeze by the sea,
we heart nomnoms,
we love art,
we love music,
we're quite unpredictable y'see?

i say we're both demented and gifted :p
no one knows how much evil we truly are
demons with faces of angels
twisted. distorted. adorned. and very much loved.

.
.
.

To end, here's the lyrics of Obsession,
opening theme of the anime
.hack//Sign
I am not an otaku.

In modern Japanese slang, the term otaku refers to a fan of any particular theme, topic, or hobby. Common uses are anime otaku (a fan of anime), cosplay otaku and manga otaku (a fan of Japanese comic books), pasokon otaku (personal computer geeks), gēmu otaku (playing video games), and wota (pronounced 'ota', previously referred to as "idol otaku") that are extreme fans of idols, heavily promoted singing girls. There are also tetsudō otaku or denshamania (railfans) or gunji otaku (military geeks).

I am not an otaku...
well...
not yet.

Obsession

How come I must know
Where obsession needs to go?
How come i must know
The direction of relieving?

Deep in the night
Far off the light
Missing my headache

Vissions of light
Sweeter delight
kissin' my loveache

Deep in the night
Far off the light
Missing my headache

Visions of light
Sweeter delight
Kissin' my loveache

How come I must know
Where obsession needs to go?
How come I must know
Where the passion hides its feelings?

How come I must know
Where obsession needs to go?
How come I must know
The direction of relieving?

Sometimes a Banana is Just a Banana...not.

"Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth."
Ayn Rand

(St)itching Stories Author's 2nd fave poem

Uncertain.
Still not used to the certain feel of that word-
uncertain.

Countless unsteady bridges're crossed
nameless uneasy roads're taken...

even dared to set ablaze new ones
whenever the path that is supposed to be right
provides no more of a comfort than all of what's left

...still
as the seconds
give birth to minutes
begetting hours
siring days

as the drawing wait continues
for the feeling from that certain word to pass

falling grains of sand
sound more like an avalanche contained in an hourglass.

My only concern is that I am not concerned.

I will stop procrastinating...maybe tomorrow.

I refuse to make political comments. I'll never let politics screw with me, I'd rather screw politics.
-Sloth

True...there is no I in team...but fat I is in the middle of win. In fact, there're two Is in winning.

Respect is earned. Never given as an alm.
-Gluttony

Never mistake my kindness as a weakness. I will kindly put a bullet in your head if you ask for it.

Trust...can bleed you to death, like a knife thrust at your heart.
-Envy

If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn your other cheek to him as well.That should provide you with more than enough time to reach for your dagger and show him the color of his entrails.

Ignorance is bliss. To be ignored is hell. I refuse to let you ruin my ephemeral heaven...I'd rather enjoy the sight of you burn in my hell.
-Wrath

To love is to hate. Anything, anyone who dares defile your love deserves death.
-Lust

I admire the intricacy of your plan. It is a perfect overhand knot...compared to my Gordian knot.

You were able to manipulate me. You are smart.
I was able to manipulate you to try to manipulate me. I am smarter.
-Pride

Perfection? Why would I want it when all it means to me is that I've reached my summit...thus I cannot climb any higher? I strive to be imperfect.

A true friend is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone believes the smile on your face.
-Adrienne M Kennedy

En una vida pasada, usted y yo vivimos en nuestro propio universo
creadado por nuestro amor.
En esos momentos, el tiempo se detubo en el temor
de nuestra passion incendiaria.
Pero ahora sin la chispa de tu corazon, la llama en el mio permanece latente,
y el tiempo pasa...mi amor por ti duerma eterno, mientras que el tiempo pasa
-Rosario M. Peralez

It is haunting how silence amplifies the sound of loneliness drowned earlier by laughter...how all of a sudden your mask falls off to reveal thoughts and emotions you've tried to hide inside...how tears caress the edges of your smile.

Canine and Feline have different cultures.. They all grieve differently.. You will never know until you are one of them..
There are many others that you should consider... but until you know yourself... you can not hope to learn their ways..

Jnthn Rmrz
I have found my "I"...
multitude it is.

William Dager
I think your "I" may be "U"... "U" has a great relationship with "Y"..and can teach "I" to know about "U" and question "Y".. Be wary of "?" as they want more than "U" or "I" can take. "Y" does have some answers... but "U" will have to explain to "Y".

William Dager
be wary of your answer... as "?" is looking to see "Y"... "U" is being "I"... and not "U"...
Feline thoughts for you..

Jnthn Rmrz
"Y" is my bestfriend Will =)
Lately I've been bashing "?"s with "!"s
coz I've grown tired of "..."s
But of course. "I" will take responsibility for those "!'s.

Jnthn Rmrz
cheers Taka =)

William Dager
you delete this.. and "?", "U", "I", "Y" will haunt you forever!!!!!

Jnthn Rmrz
better than to suffer "..." 's mocking gaze

William Dager
Taka knows... Didn't see the "!"...

Jnthn Rmrz
Taka is sleepy..tramadol wearing off?

William Dager
haha.. yes.."I" and "U" are trying to find "Y"..Taka will be furious about the "!" if they take advantage of his "...."

Jnthn Rmrz
"!" is my newly acquired friend...
"I" is waiting for "!" to evolve into "!!!"

Wolf's Howl...a Reflection

img source: http://www.worldwayfarer.com/worldwayfarer/images/stories/graywolf.jpg

In the dead of the night
I walk
for the first time
your last 120 paces.

With eyes closed
I can see the faces of four ______
as they madly and wildly slash and end your life...
on that dark night
ironically
twistedly
illuminated by
quick
sick
flashes
of knives...

wielded by ______
who really don't know
what life is
like you do;

______ who really don't deserve
what life has to offer
like you do.

In the dead of the night
while almost all souls that care for you are sleeping
I muster the strength needed to see your repose...
So close I came to weeping.

My eyes are wet as I write this one, dear friend.
My tears won't fall.
Strange.
My vision's all blurry
yet in an instant it's all too clear...

it must've been that my silent and gentled tears
are quick to evaporate
since inside I am screaming violently with hate-
those four _____ I'll gladly spear

with my weapon of choice
-a pen-
it's time for the wolf to come out of his den

and hunt,
not only those four hateful _____ who killed you
but all the other _____ who're out there
that could kill others like you.

Reynaldo Ibañez

...

your chest's all still now-
yet I could still see you breathing.
Your heart is cold, like mine, now-
yet I could still feel it beating.

Your greatest gift to me
is the gift of your simple kind words
and your smile...
always your smile
whene'er we cross paths.

My greatest gift for you
is that I'll share that gift
simple kind words
and my smile...
always my smile
to the people who'll cross my path.

In the dead of the night

I'll continue your fight-
show others the beauty of life.

More Cat quotes here. =meow=

Greg, how come you don't like cats?

I don't not like cats.
I-I just-- I just prefer dogs.
I mean, I'm just more of a dog kind of, you know--

Come home, wagging their little tails, happy to see you kind of--
You need that assurance? You prefer an emotionally shallow animal?

I--

You see, Greg, when you yell at a dog,
his tail will go between his legs and cover his genitals,
his ears will go down.
A dog is very easy to break, but cats make you work for their affection.
They don't sell out the way dogs do.

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A. Sachs

We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.
Antonin Artaud (1896 - 1948)

Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht (1898 - 1956), The Mother, 1932

For certain is death for the born
And certain is birth for the dead;
Therefore over the inevitable
Thou shouldst not grieve.
Bhagavad Gita (250 BC - 250 AD), Chapter 2

He not busy being born is busy dying.
Bob Dylan (1941 - )

Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon.
David Assael, Northern Exposure, It Happened in Juneau, 1992

A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, All is Vanity, 1991

I am going to concentrate on what's important in life. I'm going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I'm going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I'll see death and I'll remember.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Do The Right Thing, 1992

It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Lost and Found, 1992

Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus (341 BC - 270 BC), from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers

There's a strange sort of quiet when you're dying. It's as if you're in a glass room, and the walls keep getting thicker and thicker.
Gabrielle Zevin, Love Is Hell: Fan Fictions, 2008

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.
George Santayana (1863 - 1952), Soliloquies in England, 1922, "War Shrines"

Death can sneak up on you like a silent kitten, surprising you with it's touch and you have a right to act surprised. Other times death stomps in the front door, unwanted and unannounced, and makes it's noisy way to your seat on the sofa.
Hugh Elliott, Bible Versus, 11-27-08

I am not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race.
Hugh Elliott, Standing Room Only weblog comments, 06-11-04

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)

When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
John Scalzi, Old Man's War, 2005

HAHAHA!!! saan mo ba ako tinag?
nasa shop ako...daming bata...
baka magkumpulan sa likod ko tapos magbulungan
"manyak si kuya"
HAHAHA >.<

Oh well.
*grins*

Perhaps I really should try my hand on writing erotica as well...
since I've said to a very close friend in one of our convos
that sometimes the right words
are just on the tip of my tongue...
and my fingers are itching to caress the keyboard.

*bigger grin*

And while brisk-walking earlier,
toying with the should-I-write-erotica-as-well-thought
these words crossed my mind...

"I wanna lick you from head to foot...
from your dandruff plagued scalp
to the very tip of your dirtiest toe nail."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Eeeew >.<

Errr...errrotica it is.

Sexy time calls for sexy music ;)

William Dager

William Dager
Age IS relevant my young friend.. You will learn with experience..
Tuesday at 10:31am

Jnthn Rmrz
when it comes to great music it doesn't.
i do enjoy Chopin :)
Tuesday at 10:37am ·

William Dager
Chopin is taught in every school around the world.. what others have you learned?
Tuesday at 10:51am

Jnthn Rmrz
sure it is taught in many schools...but few recognize and appreciate the beauty in the pieces :)

i've learned that i have much to learn...hence the
"keep on sharing good music." comment posted 48 minutes ago.

Tuesday at 10:58am ·

William Dager

Tuesday at 11:29am

Jnthn Rmrz
:D
i shudder at the thought when the classics that we consider today (Bach, Chopin et al) ...all of em records are mysteriously deleted from history...and about a century later...schools teach em Jonas' songs as classics >.<

Teacher: "As for our classical music lesson today, we'll listen to the Jonas brothers..."

(St)itching Stories
~ripple 5~

Intoxicated with a
violin’s cry of
yearning...

Blinding darkness.

A single ray of light illuminates the center of the stage. The lone figure of a woman dressed in blue, holding a red violin, is all that could be seen.

Deafening silence.

Crystal notes began to fill the air: no other sound could be heard. With mouths agape, no one dared to take a single breath ; all are enchanted by Shiri’s maiden recital- the theme rhythm of the movie ‘Somewhere in Time’.

Filling emptiness.

.

.

.

.

.

...and then the strings break off.

Violin overload today:

Morning: Filipino Violinist Alfonso "Coke" Bolipata was interviewed in a Net-25 show.

Afternoon: Qtv 11 aired a Korean Drama, Beethoven Virus where a female character plays a Violin.

Evening: GMA7's Take Me Out, someone played the Violin.

=^.^=

The Violin holds a special place in my heart
ever since I heard this song when I was a kid.

As a child I used to play air Violin whenever I hear that song.

.
.
.
When I had insomnia a few years back,
flipping idiot box channels I chanced upon
a Korean Violinist playing Somewhere In Time by Rachmaninoff

Kim Chee-Yun is The Violinist in my DreamSuperGroup.

.
.
.

When a violin cries, those who can hear...truly hear can't help but cry as well.

A friend of mine, Iago,
gave me one of my most treasured compliments...ever.

"May your Oscar Wilde of a tongue be complemented with something dandy",
posted at my FB wall along with a collection of a clothes/bag get-up.
Iago's taste in fashion is ...rawr.
And we've been throwing poetic blahblahs at each other,
as archived in my earlier blogs.

Taking a break from transcribing my pet book project,
I had "fun" with my friends' FB status.

copy/pasted...unedited.

Joven Morales
Hmm...whenever an Filipino individual gets famous
worldwide....They attribute it first for being a Filipino...not to
themselves....And Filipinos will be so proud about that even there
...shouldn't be a thing to be proud about.....Nationalism is a plague..

Jnthn Rmrz
To say "I am a Filipino"...one must know how
to first say the word "I".
(playing with Rand's love quote) :D

Jobo Lomongo

Jnthn Rmrz

Jeffrey Sorreda
what's the difference, if there's any, between 'heart u dear' and 'i love you'??

Jnthn Rmrz
i love you is better...since it contains the 3 essential ideas...
the 'I'..the 'love', and the 'you'
gDay fellow FF :)

I posted the above remarks on my FB status,
and a fellow writer commented:

Joanne Gunn
bigotry n prejudism are plaques

Jnthn Rmrz
agreed...the list goes on and on and on...loooooong list.
sad :(

Joanne Gunn

I know you suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied

Soothe me
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You take your lovers that you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

~reflection I~
~ripple 1~

To love is to wake up
under a gray sky and have no idea
whether that gray sky

marks dawn:
the start of the much-awaited day of joy
greeted by the warm comfort of the providing sun;

or ushers dusk:
another night of loneliness
embraced by the numbing chill of the wind’s icy touch.

Either way,
take time to find and appreciate simple beauty
granted by the sun’s rays
as well as the one
offered by the stars’ gaze.

================================

~reflection II~
~ripple 10~

Just when I thought I am alone in this isle of sorrows

Everything

__________seems so far away.

The vast blue sky is my only faithful companion
for the sun, moon and the stars have all gone away.

__________rescued me from the shadows of fear
__________shadows that haunt me at night.

You ______sheltered me from the heat of anger
__________heat that burned me throughout.

__________restored my eyesight
__________for I was blinded by the shine of jealousy.

You taught me the language of love and from then on I learned how to speak.

.
.
.

*note: am not familiar with the use of "space" here in FBnotes hence the underscores...
the effect am shooting for is this:

"Everything" is isolated in order to align itself to "You".

"Everything"="You"

===================================

~reflection III~
~ripple 19~

Wedged between the pages
I found
perfumed rose petals
embraced by calligraphed poems you composed.

Tonight under this candlelight
I'll read them all again
for the last time as promised.

Disillusioned.

These words are what they are
-words-
cleverly arranged
with each stroke controlled, practiced and designed
to entice my eyes
ensnare my heart
with their well- calculated beauty
-only-
artificiality has long lost its effect on me.

As the candle lights brighter
ashes wave my goodbye...
to your beautifully crafted lie.

Thank You Susan

-Susan A Krieck

The following poem is posted as a comment to my FBnote,
(St)itching Stories, opening poems
which I'll post as well later.

I hear the pain you tell me of in the voice that has soothed me much.
I see the pain you feel in your gentle, handsome face.
the man I've seen trapped and beaten by sorrow and pain
I do not feel the pain you have
i know the pit you've climbed in to.
i climbed out with less strength than you as fear kept me back from where you went
because of this i know full well, you will climb out to stand again
what you find may not be better than what you had
what you find will not be worse than what you have
all I can say is it will be more fulfilling and colored with joy
those who love you will bask in the glow you will exude once you climb out of the pit you're in
i love you much as others do but i know you less than others do
i want to see what i know is there as i want to know the entire man who has become my friend so dear
i want to know the man i can see, the talent, the joy, the fear and the grief.
do not fear any of these as they are in all of us and are to be used to help us grow and mature
these lessons are given to teach us to live, to love and to laugh
do not believe that god is gone just because you do not see him in glorious array
he's here, he's there, he's everywhere. just open your heart, mind and soul.
he'll enter through pores too small to see but that itch like fleas.
he'll enter through pain that is more than can be borne
he enters these ways and many, many more to ease our pain that he hates to see
he is not cruel nor does he makes us weep as what he wants is us to be exactly as he had dreamed and deemed
he came to us in human form so he could see, hear and feel as we
his time on the cross should be seen with joy as that act was done out of love for all
and act that promised life and peace basking in his glow so bright
do not view his body on the cross as a time of pain and sorrow as he did it for us out of love and joy

so I'll archive it here:

Trait Explanations

In order to interpret your raw trait scores,
they were compared to the first 350,000 people
to complete the full MyPersonality Big Five questionnaire.
This allows the way that you described yourself
to be put in the context of how other people respond to the questionnaire.
You should remember that there are no fundamentally good or bad personalities,
as each trait description has potential advantages and disadvantages.

Openness

This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 98% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself
as someone who is far more intellectually curious and sensitive to beauty than most. You might say that your beliefs are individualistic
and frequently drift towards the unconventional,
and that you enjoy your imagination and the exciting places it takes you!

Conscientiousness

This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer an organised,
or a flexible, approach in life.
Approximately 52% of respondents have a lower conscientiousness raw percentage
than yours.
From the way you answered the questions,
you seem to describe yourself as someone who is random and fun to be around
but that you can plan and persist when life requires it.
From your responses it appears that depending on the situation,
you can make quick decisions or deliberate for longer if necessary.

Extraversion

This trait refers to the extent to which you enjoy company,
and seek excitement and stimulation.
Approximately 92% of respondents have a lower extraversion raw percentage than yours.
From the way you answered the questions,
you seem to describe yourself as someone who is constantly energetic,
exuberant and active.
Your answers describe you as someone who aims to be the centre of attention
at social occasions, asserts yourself when in groups,
and usually says, "Yes!"

Agreeableness

This trait refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. Approximately 44% of respondents have a lower agreeableness raw percentage than yours.
From the way you answered the questions,
you seem to describe yourself as someone who gets along with people well,
especially once they have proved themselves trustworthy to you.
Your responses suggest that you do have a healthy scepticism about others' motives, but that doesn't stop you from considering others to be basically honest and decent.

Neuroticism (Emotional stability)

This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 38% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions,
you seem to describe yourself as someone who is calm and emotionally stable.
Based on your responses, you come across as someone who is rarely bothered by things,
and when they do get you down the feeling does not persist for very long.

Jungian Typology Estimate

Research has found that the Big Five personality traits are significantly related to Jungian Typology (e.g. the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator).
This is a popular alternative personality framework regularly used for personal development,
in which Types are used rather than Traits.
Based on your Big Five trait scores, your estimated Type is shown below.

ENFP
Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving

ENFPs are initiators of change, keenly perceptive of possibilities.
They energize and stimulate others through their contagious enthusiasm.
They prefer the start-up phase of a project or relationship,
and are tireless in the pursuit of new-found interests.
ENFPs are able to anticipate the needs of others and to offer them needed help and appreciation.
They bring zest, joy, liveliness, and a zany sense of fun to all aspects of their lives.
They are at their best in situations that are fluid and changing,
and that allow them to express their creativity and use their charisma.
They tend to idealize people,
and can be disappointed when reality fails to fulfill their expectations.
They are easily frustrated if a project requires a great deal of follow-up or attention to detail.

I am a renegade of funk
\m/ >.< \m/

Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades we're the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon
We're the renegades of funk

Based solely on your personality trait scores, the top three closest college major matches for your personality (out of 60 majors and "undecided") are:

#1 Journalism

#2 Communication

#3 Theatre

.........

exactly.
Journalism+Communication+Theatre = FreelanceWriting

lol. here goes a cheezy question and I need serious answers and thoughts from y'all. I dont like quotations whatsoev, I want your personal opinions. I want it in your very own words. (lol just like the note in some exams - in your own words :)) lol )
here's goes my cheezeh question : What is love? :]

============

you don't like quotations but if I'll quote from MY book ..
my pet bookproject... technically I'll be giving you my opinion, right?
=P
hehehe
(St)itching Stories excerpt

~reflection I~
~ripple 1~

“Define love.”

“What is this, an interview for a slum book? Well, let me see... ‘Love is God’?”

“I never thought that an aspiring writer like you would resort to a cliché.”

“Then tell me, Good Morning Man, how would you define love?”

“Love is a _______”

“Duh! That is a cliché same as mine! I’ve heard several people compare love with a prison.”

“You, my new-found friend, have just proven my point.”

“What?”

“I didn’t say ‘prison’, I said ‘prism’; fast enough so there’s a big chance that you would mistake it for ‘prison’. That’s the most common mistake people make, I would guess: saying love in a haste, and misinterpreting it.”

what follows is a collection of replies from the people that i tagged:

Dale Lagayada
When the soul hurts, the eyes water and the heart aches. That is LOVE!

Cristine Tabing
Love is ineffable. =|

Jem Canlas
lol a note inspired by moi :D
i likey! :]

Jnthn Rmrz
weh am just whoring for attention for my bookproject =P
your FB status suits the excerpt so I posted it =D
excerpt copyrighted.

Jnthn Rmrz
@Dale...
so Love equates to pain in your book?

Jem Canlas
@jnthn - you just used me D: user! lol

@dale- thats a sad thought :(
now I suddenly thought how love and hate/sadness could go hand in hand. :s

Rosario M. Peralez
Love is pure energy. It can neither be created nor destroyed because it simply "is". ???

Jnthn Rmrz
behold my Peter Keating/Howard Roark
personality ;)
(if you're curious curiouser, read Rand's tome,
The Fountainhead )
@Dale...Love indeed has a lot of relatives that come over...invited and uninvited alike whenever you let Love in.

Dale Lagayada
Jonathan: you`re a whore! Bwahahahaha! Di mo mararamdaman ang LOVE pag walang pasakit na kasama!

Jnthn Rmrz
@my twin.
=)
so what about entropy? =P

Jnthn Rmrz

Q then...
is Love not love if it's pailness? o.O

Jnthn Rmrz
pffft...attack of the dyslexic schizoid.
i mean *painless*

Dale Lagayada
Yes! Partner in crime ang dalawang iyon, Sir.

Jnthn Rmrz
ipasok kita sa "prison" diyan eh =P

Dale Lagayada
Waaaaaaaaaaaa! Bad ka talaga! Kaya nga may nakukulong dahil sa lintek na LOVE na iyan, e!

Jnthn Rmrz
i'll post a new note then ;)
thus teh (Gar)Den note iz pozted

Rosario M. Peralez
Hmmm, you're making me work on this one. If entropy is the measure of disorganization in a system then entropy measures the energy in that system??? it is just a measurement and has no effect on the nature of the energy itself? energy can be converted from electrical form to some other form but it isn't created nor destroyed just converted??? ... See Morekind of like true love. Say A loved B. B alienated A's affection. If A truly loved B, the love is not destroyed merely converted into pain or acceptance; but the love itself never actually dies. ??? :)

Rosario M. Peralez
@ jnthn: regarding my "BS lawyer argument" re: entropy. Apologies to all with actual knowledge of physics. LOL. It is time to call it a night! will check post l8r for the final decision on the definition of love. ;)

Hilari Hanson
You know Pesky you are hitting a very very touchy subject with this..So in order to not write you a novel give me a few to collect my thoughts and squeeze them down into a few sentences...Cause yeah!! I could write you a book on love.. :P

Jnthn Rmrz
have to go myself :)
that'd give you time to write your book Hilari :D

Hilari Hanson
Love is The MOST Powerful emotion Ever it has So many different realms...So many different stages...It's a combination of so many different emtions packed into one of the Most Powerful words ever...Love awakens the Soul and makes us reach for more, Love plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds..Love Makes people do things they ... See Morenormally would not... It Gives The most Powerful Strength to anyone and then it can turn around and Knock you directly flat on ur ass...Love is what makes the world go round..In one form or another...My true belief is (and you and I have had this discussion before) You can only truly Hate the ones That You Have truly Loved.. Sorry to use The "H" word.. Love is evoL..In it's darkest from..Ur #1 fan still thanx you for that one. You cannot define Love Truly Love Just Is.. It's a most sacred feeling reserved 4 very few..and There is no true definition 4 it..In my eyes..Or my Soul.. Love moves Mountains..Sorry 4 the cliche but it does..It ALSO BRINGS different Walks and Worlds together...Hence YOU KNOW ;)~ I also truly believe you cannot choose who you love you Just Do...Love Is Unstoppable!! I ♥ ♥ ♥ LOVE...And Love My Love 2..He is My other Half...I will Not be Complete until He is here Standing next to Me... Ans he'll probably kicked my booty for sharing to many thoughts on this subject with ya' all but Hey Honesty!! Gotta ♥ IT!! And You asked Muahahaha LoVe Brings Hope to the Darkest places and Lights up The World......

Hilari Hanson
Oh I wrote ya Essay..Lmao!! :D

Love is wanting to travel down the road with another person for the rest of your life. Sometimes you don't travel equal speeds and sometimes you take the different turns, but you are both heading in the same direction.

Jnthn Rmrz
and sometimes you give a piggy back ride to your someone when he/she is tired/injured/just wanting some pampering ;)

Hilari Hanson
:D Hey Hey I liked that...Jnthn :)

simple lang BBB, ang love lang ang may pahintulot na maging illogical sa mundong ito. siya lang ang may karapatang sumagot ng "eh ganun eh" kung tanungin mo ng bakit. at sa sandaling masagot mo kung bakit mahal mo siya, hindi mo na siya mahal. ganun ang pag-ibig, illogical, or better yet it does not need the logic that is the oxygen of human existence. may sense ba? inglesin mo na lang to para sa mga kaibigan mong hindi pinoy. asteeg!

Jnthn Rmrz
^meh...bahala na silang manghagilap ng pinoy na kaibigan nilang magtratranslate para sa kanila :D

Hmmm...I have this habit of making venn diagrams to see how much my and my "prospect"'s interest overlap...and I don't really call whatever I may be feeling as "love" if I can't justify it with facts, rationalize it if you may.
Sure...love is illogical most of the times....perhaps am just someone who's insane enough to find logic in the illogical XD

William Dager
the more you try to analyze love, the less it makes sense. Analyze it too much and it will be lost.

Mac Qui
ganito lang yan BBB, kaya siya walang logic, kasi hindi rin siya matter of choice. we don't choose who to love; what people do is choose what to do with the love that we already feel. yung lang ang choice dun, all others are just feeding ourselves cow dung to cover the fact that we don't have the balls to do whatever it takes to get that love back. hehe... may sense ba?

Orestes Seguerra
@max
I disagree.
I believe that Love is a choice, although almost always we're not aware that it is.
My argument: we do have certain things that we are looking for, requirements if you may.
When we stumble upon someone who possesses our requirements, the hormones take over.... See More
Now the thing is...we tend to be "illogical", do things that we normally won't do because of the hormones...but still we can choose to let the hormones continue on taking over our actions or be like Nietzsche's uberman and take over.

Mac Qui
hindi ba't ang mismong punto ng pagkakaroon ng choice ay aware ka nung ginagawa mo yun? at sakto, hormones nga yun kaya kung ano gagawin natin sa temporary chemical imbalance na yun, yun na lang yung choice... at for the record, banat romantiko sana yung una kong sagot pero pinatulan mo, ngayon wala na tuloy magic... hayop ka for rationalizing love...mamamatay ka rin... at mamamatay kang walang nagmamahal sayo... joke lang... hehe...

here's a nice quote to bring back your "magic"

Live your life with so much love in your heart that if, by mistake, you were sent to hell, the devil himself would deliver you up to paradise. - Paulo Coelho

Hmmm...
but "magic" is usually just an illusion.

hahahahaha pinatay uli yung romantic mood \m/

babawi naman ako dun sa (St)itching Stories ko paps, wak ka mag-alala.
every page is scented with pheromones ;)

Love is real , real is love
Love is feeling , feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing we can be

Love is free, free is love
Love is living, living love
Love is needed to be loved

~reflection III~
~ripple __~

Vines have crept
turned the walls
into a shaky rubble of stones.

Weeds have grown.
Now,
the flowerbed is but
a sad frameless picture
of neglect.

What used to be
the warm welcoming gate
now coldly bars the way
to anyone who'd want to enter-
and makes it doubly hard
for someone trapped inside to go out.

As the wax melts
beneath this still silent flame...
Memories we had
-good and bad and sad and happy-
shine like stars-.-.-
blinking little points of light
piercing this dark cold blanket called night.

As the wax melts
beneath this still silent flame..
pillars of tears fall down
to surround this candle so blue
embraced by the cold night air that
we used to warmly share with you.

Wind gently blows.
Now
the flame seem to dance
causing shadows to paint the walls
with darkness so mellow
it is more inviting
than the sight of a faded and lifeless yellow.

Brother's and sisters...hear the words that were revealed to me just now.

"If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn your other cheek to him as well."
That should provide you with more than enough time to reach for your dagger and show him the color of his entrails.

As our Almighty GodFather once said:
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

Have no fear, brothers and sisters...if a heathen asks for a fight then so be it.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."
Let the wisdom granted to us by our one and only Holy One...with his all powerful Trinity of course,
be the beginning of our enemies' fear and make the heathens understand that we are right.
Always right.

To love is to hate. Anything, anyone who dares defile your love deserves death.
They dare defile our love for the words...the true words that are our guide...infallible words since they have stood the test of time...
we all know that the words in our Book are true:
or what remains of it since we all know infallible Popes before me has righteously edited it... guided by divine voices of course...

"Do to no one what you yourself dislike."
"Do to others as you want them to do to you."

Guided by voices, I now reveal to you, brothers and sisters, a diamond rule:

Do to others before they do unto you.

===================================

following script from
Good Will Hunting

SEAN
Do you think you're alone?

WILL
What?

SEAN
Do you have a soul-mate?

WILL
Define that.

SEAN
Someone who challenges you in every way.
Who takes you places, opens things up for you.
A soul-mate.

WILL
Yeah.

Sean waits.

WILL
Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Chaucer, Pope, Kant--

SEAN
They're all dead.

WILL
Not to me, they're not.

SEAN
But you can't give back to them, Will.

WILL
Not without a heater and some serious smelling salts, no...

SEAN
That's what I'm saying, Will.
You'll never have that kind of relationship
in a world where you're afraid to take the first step
because all you're seeing are the negative things
that might happen ten miles down the road.

.
.
.

SEAN
Why don't you come back when you have an answer for me.

WILL
What?

SEAN
If you won't answer my questions, you're wasting my time.

WILL
What?

Will loses it, slams the door shut.

WILL
Fuck you!

Sean has finally gotten to Will.

WILL
Who the fuck are you to lecture me about life?
You fuckin' burnout!
Where's your "soul-mate?!

Sean lets this play out. Possible "shepard" change.

WILL
Dead!
She dies and you just cash in your chips.
That's a fuckin' cop-out!

SEAN
I been there. I played my hand.

WILL
That's right.
And you fuckin' lost!
And some people would have the sack
to lose a big hand like that
and still come back and ante up again!

SEAN
Look at me. What do you want to do?

A beat. Will looks up.

SEAN
You and your bullshit.
You got an answer for everybody.
But I asked you a straight question
and you can't give me a straight answer.
Because you don't know.

Sean goes to the door and opens it. Will walks out.

am loving the poetry of my FB community, so am going to share this one.
It all started with Jong's status.
enjoy :)

================================

(1) We climb the highest mountain, we make the desert bloom. We’re so ingenious we can walk on the moon. But when I hear of how the forests have died, saltwater wells in my eyes.

(2)We light the deepest ocean. Send photographs of Mars. We're so enchanted by how clever we are. Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries? Saltwater wells in my eyes.

(3)and the warmth from the bright Sun dries it all up..
to form clouds that remind me of the things we used to enjoy.
The clouds get darker...am hearing the sound of thunder.
Veins of lightning flash across the what used to be blue sky of ours.
Hours of rain later the Sun shines once again...
Rainbows appear everywhere...alleviating my pain.

Dawkins' Spectrum

2010-05-14T00:18:00.001-07:00

photo comment: A is for Atheism.

from wiki

Dawkins posits that "the existence of God is a scientific hypothesis like any other." He goes on to propose a continuous "spectrum of probabilities" between two extremes of opposite certainty, which can be represented by seven "milestones". Dawkins suggests definitive statements to summarize one's place along the spectrum of theistic probability. These "milestones" are:

1. Strong theist. 100 per cent probability of God. In the words of C.G. Jung, 'I do not believe, I know.'
2. Very high probability but short of 100 per cent. De facto theist. 'I cannot know for certain, but I strongly believe in God and live my life on the assumption that he is there.'
3. Higher than 50 per cent but not very high. Technically agnostic but leaning towards theism. 'I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God.'
4. Exactly 50 per cent. Completely impartial agnostic. 'God's existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable.'
5. Lower than 50 per cent but not very low. Technically agnostic but leaning towards atheism. 'I do not know whether God exists but I'm inclined to be sceptical.'
6. Very low probability, but short of zero. De facto atheist. 'I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there.'
7. Strong atheist. 'I know there is no God, with the same conviction as Jung "knows" there is one.'

Dawkins notes that he would be "surprised to meet many people in category 7." Dawkins calls himself "about a 6, but leaning towards 7 — I am agnostic only to the extent that I am agnostic about fairies at the bottom of the garden."

Thanks Jonathan. I'm not #7 and I'm not #1. We are friends from another post? Can't say I'm any of those.

I learned there were MANY new findings of ancient writings. The current old testament was defined by a Roman Emperor, the name I forget right now. The new testament was defined later.

the other texts were excluded from the original writing. ... See MoreWas a political and religious action in those days. Our current Bible (new and old testament) are interpretations of the original writings of Mark, Luke, John and Matthew.

I DO believe in the almighty.. Maybe not the one religion has defined for us, since it is their interpretation.

I'm probably a #2. As for Williams statements on the Bible the old testament is more aligned with Judaism but I agree on the new testament being put together by politically motivated rulers. For the non Jewish the entire Bible has been messed with by the western Christian society to match the politically correct segment of society. There are so ... See Moremany ancient texts that either follow the Biblical or support it in some way. All we, as humans can do is come to our conclusions and beliefs based on what we've learned and how we live. I still believe in God but am unsure about many of the doctrines attached to Christianity as so much has been used to further political aspirations going back to the living days of Christ. The political dispute can even be seen in the new testament. As for Revelations I happen to believe it was written during the time of Nero about Nero. The arguments for this are too convincing for me to think otherwise.

it's saddening that ...
religion, instead of unification, furthers divides..

March 30 at 1:13pm

Susan A Krieck
Jnthn, Nero reference has to do with some Jewish way of assigning numbers to names. There have been many documentaries on this subject, mainly on The History Channel. It makes sense as he DID use early Christians as torches to light his garden. He also lived at the right time. Never use Josephus as proof of the life of Jesus as it's been ... See Morediscovered the reference in the histories by Josephus was added at a later date. I think around the time of the crusades. U should be able to find it with a search. u could start with Simcha Jacobovici, the Naked Archeologist. He's a Jewish archeologist and has some good stuff out there from the view of both an archeologist and of the Jewish faith.

simple lang yan , ang diyos, tingin ko walang pakialam kung maniwala ka o hindi. choice mo yan. sabi nga ni bertrand russell, hindi ka naman makakadagdag o makakabawas sa kanya kung maniniwala ka at papupurihan mo siya eh.
basta ako, it would be arrogant to think na tayo na ang pinakamahusay sa universe, kaya i believe that there definitely is ... See Moresomething greater than i am. parang sabi ni george carlin, he worships the sun. the sun is there, it gives us all life. so ayun pwede yun. pwede rin namang wala, kanya-kanya lang yan. basta wag ka lang magsamantala ng ibang tao, do your part in production, wag maging effin' freeloader, i think whether you believe in a god or not, whether there is even a god or not, you would still be okay. kasi naging tao ka na nakikipag-kapwa.

blog is in response to the current FB status of Womyn in my FB community:

While you SCREAM at your woman, there's a man
wishing he could talk softly in her ear. While you HUMILIATE, OFFEND
& INSULT her, there's a man flirting with her & reminding her
how wonderful she is. While you HURT your woman, there's a man wishing
he could make love to her. While you make your woman CRY there's a man s...tealing
smiles from her. Please RE-POST if you're against Domestic Violence.

Rose lyrics,
by A Perfect Circle

Don't disturb the Beast,
The tempermental Goat,
The Snail,
while he's feeding on the Rose
Stay frozen, compromise
What I will I am

Bend around the wind
Silently thrown about again
I'm treading so soft and lightly
Compromising my will
I am

I am, I will
So no longer will I
Lay down, play dead
Play your doe
In the headlights locked down
And terrified
Your deer in the headlights
Shut down and horrified when
Push comes to pull comes to shove
Comes to step around this
Self-destructive dance
That never would've ended 'til
I rose,
I roared aloud here
I will, I am

I am, I will
So no longer will I
Lay down, play dead,
Play this
Kneel down
Gun-shy martyr, pitiful
I rose, I roared
I will, I am

excerpt from (St)itching Stories
by Jonathan Maines Ramirez

~ripple ten~

mourning over a

morning of regrets-

yet grateful to wake up

from this recurring beautiful dream,

about time that I make it real-

not tomorrow

nor the day after;

but today.

today would be tomorrow’s yesterday.

I will to wake up tomorrow morning smiling,

never again would I mourn for another wasted yesterday.

I will to wake up...

I will to exist.

beauty belongs with BEAuty

Bless me with the warmth of your smile..
everyday i wait for the sun
and at night for the moon

And her stars..
lead me closer to you,,
once again hear my
nightingale's song..
zephyr blows
over flower-spotted verdant meadows that I've yearned for so long.

Oh and if I don't Smoke some of My Hope..
lmao Someone may die NOW!! So it works out..ya see!! :D

Jnthn Rmrz
nice play with words ;)
but still...you're adding pollutants to the air that we breathe =P
use nicotine patches. I dunno if there's "Hope nicotine patches" though...
i might suggest it to the tobacco company.

Hilari Hanson
Then quit breathing for 7 minutes
Mmmmk.. :P should we get into what else pollutes the air??

Jnthn Rmrz
Sure...what else pollutes the air?
*farts

Hilari Hanson
Lol..Yep..How about Cars 2.. Quit Driving I'll quit Smoking My Hope! :P

Jnthn Rmrz

at least when you're smoking...you're just killing your lungs.
second hand smoke is harmless.
=P

Jnthn Rmrz
*cough sarcasm *cough
haha...am just playing with you too Hilari ;)
am not one to impose my beliefs on somebody...
just reminding you of the "benefits" of smoking.

Hilari Hanson

Jnthn Rmrz

to quote another FB status...

On a positive note, may I quote Andy from the movie Shawnshank Redemption: "Hope is a good thing - maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."

But still...
If Hope becomes toxic as a cigarette...
there's no point in puffing it, yes?

That's why am snuffing the embers of my Hope...with Echo's tears.

meh...still on emo mode, but hey...
can't hold back and type that one...
the cheesiness amuses me ^.^

No false hopes indeed.
Point taken.
Am just a slow learner, that's all.
When I learn a new lesson...it stays with me til the day I die.

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away

Every star has a story to tell...

Canopy of pin-point brilliance...
eyes of an angel,,
look up, look up...
every star has a story to tell,,
scintillating dreams...
those that're essential,,
eyes alone cannot see.

#2
Cast like diamonds,,
elegant randomness...
lasting impression,,
every star has a story to tell...
searching for patterns,,
to discern the true meaning of the word...
eternity.

thank you Lyn Morales for posting this vid:

after one listen...am a huge Stars fan ;)
much gratitude.
muchness.

Adrienne...
what can I say?
once again you blew me away with your words :)
thanks for sharing this poem about your son, Jared.
Precious.
Advanced Happy Mother's day to you.

Saw that stars was a theme for you today. with my 13 yr olds permission i am sending you a poem i wrote about him. Poem is untitled and I think i owed you one anyway. I know it is extremely corny but he loved it and well it about him.

In the night’s sky of my life
A new star it now adorns
Tenderness from deep within
Touches my very soul
From the very first moment
A uniqueness I did behold.

Your innocence did fill my heart
For no star is like another
I knew for years to come
This star would shine like no other.
So captivating and cosmic
Is this brilliant light before me
He glows of boyish charm
But a beaming man soon he will be.

Darkness and despair this star
Has witnessed during its travels
Now he blazes with vigor and vim
Much like Dante’s burning inferno

Another star that lights my spirit
He blinds the darkness I do console.
Few stars I allow to flicker in my night’s sky
For fear planets will implode.
A striking light during my nights
That shines radiantly now forever during my days
Many thanks to my heavenly God
That this star strayed my galaxy’s way

This star, my son, a new found joy
For him a mother’s love flows
Pure happiness will eternally fill me
For every night’s sky this star does glow.

Echo's song...

2010-05-03T14:52:00.000-07:00

...will Narcissus listen?

I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
See your faith in me subsiding
See you prime for giving in
I give you all that I am

I am the sound of love's arriving
Echoed softly on the sand
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your hand within my hand
I give you all that I am

And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
With all that I am

I am the white dove for a soldier
Ever marching as to war
I would give my life to save you
I stand guarding at your door
I give you all that I am

I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
I am the blind man for a watchdog
I am prime for giving in
I'll show you all that I am

And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am

~Synchronicity~

2010-04-16T07:36:00.000-07:00

*thank you again, William Dagger for making a reference of this song.

and now for this lolz of a blog.

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. To count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance.

from teh almighty wiki

Srsly...either Lady (Mis)Fortune is srsly messing up with my mind, or my mind is srsly messed up that am just reading too much...into "things"

wickedtwisted FB FV humor:

an FB friend posted a tarot card reading...out of curiosity i clicked to find out mine...here is the result:

My Daily Tarot Card
Nine of Swords
Recovery of a lost item or lost love is possible. You may be recovering from an illness. Time to pick yourself up and complete the journey. Worrying about it has been useless. Your friends and loved ones have gathered around you and are willing to assist you in your... goals. Financial support is possible now. Ask for forgiveness of someone, they will grant it.

hahahaha. am not sharing why i laughed so hard my stomach literally hurt...well, the next entry clearly explains the private joke, if you're smart enough to read between the lines.

i checked FV, found an egg and put it in the basket. seconds later this popped up:

Jnthn has collected 161 Spring Eggs and just surpassed Issa!
Jnthn has collected 161 Spring Eggs and currently ranks 31 out of 79 amongst their neighbors!

HAHAHA
\m/ >.< \m/

so...will i rush and try to "recover" a "lost love" since it's possible, as suggested by the tarot card reading?

no.

.
.
.
i have acquired prudence.
radio silence it is...til the 3actPlay is finished.
and am not rushing to finish that play either...
like my crocheting genius FB friend, Emma Leishman,
am not one to put my name on a 'product' that is crappy lousy.
the untitled play will be my first amongst many..
and i don't want something crappy to bear the tag as my first play.

whether you're still single or finally is with your "Don"
...

i'll see you in June, Stealth.

Happiness for you.

~narcissus / snssıɔɹɐu~
book project overview:
dark adaptation of Narcissus' tragedy
snssıɔɹɐu exists in another plane of existence,
still,
narcissus can interact with him.

Thankssss goes to
Domengshu, Iago, Terri and Rosario
for inspiring the following lines...

~Chapter 3~

Narcissus:
"I just want to sing my heart out until my voice is totally strained..
leaving all those words said through her eyes."

Echo:
"Even long after you've stopped singing..
the sound will still reverberate..
no, resonate in her heart.
I am happy for you, Narcissus.
I am just hoping he will at least listen to my whispers."

Narcissus:
"He will listen. Make him listen."

Echo:
"I am trying..
but it is oh so hard when he's already listening,
humming and even singing along to somebody else's song."

~Chapter 4~

Seeking what shelter a dead tree could offer while waiting for the rain to pour,
hoping it'd wash away the dust off the three travelers' bodies as well as the dust encrusting her heart, Echo found something carved on one of the tree's fallen branches.

no matter how hard the stone, a consistent drip drip drip of water will be able to make a dent in time.

Echo:
"I have all the time that I need..
and I'll never run out of tears."

Narcissus:
"Tears clear off dirt in our eyes as well,
enabling us to see more clearly."

snssıɔɹɐu:
"How about people who just couldn't cry anymore?"

Echo:
(didn't hear snssıɔɹɐu, looks at the darkening sky)
"If it's going to rain,
I'd rather it pour at once, hard,
than try to curse and defy the sky.
Hopefully it'll wash the dust off of our bodies..
nature's absolution."

~Chapter 5~

Narcissus:
"I thought it was sweet
how someone wrote about magically finding one's soulmate by entering a trance, looking over the lover's left shoulder and seeing light."

snssıɔɹɐu:
"For me I go with dreams.
If someone's able to walk in my sanctuary as well..
like Echo I'll sing my heart out hoping she'll sing with me..
dance with me.
So far only three women have done that..
dance with me in the world of dreams.
It's only saddening to realize that those dreams are just that..
dreams.
Never realized."

~Chapter 6~

narcissus:
"I am falling in love with the weather..
the clouds crawl across the skies,
like a fleece blanket wrapped around one's shivering shoulders.
Like an embrace."

snssıɔɹɐu:
"..only her blanket of clouds is blocking the warmth of my new found sun..
thus I shiver harder.
Her veil of clouds cover my moon and her stars' light..
making me fumble at night."

damn me and my humor and my current profile pic at FB

'was playing scrabble earlier,
and as always i say
"hello (opponent's name) =) "
before taking my turn.
what follows is the actual convo from that game:

him-- so how's it hanging?
me- hanging good :D how bout you?
--good but a bit stiff here
-lolz...where're you from?
--i'm naked in spain
-:)
--you?
-philippines
--never been there...is it hot today?
-sweltering..blame el niño
--you should get naked too then ;-)
-meh...i love to sweat :)
--mmm i love sweaty men
-lolz
--feeling very horny this morning lol
-hahaha...no need to state the obvious

i thought he was just trying to mess up my game
with his own mind game...
since he played arse
on his first turn
and i played loafing, farse...
for 102 points.
first time i was able to connect the 2x word markings
\m/ >.< \m/

he went idle for quite some time.
we're playing a 2min game,
and am not a big fan of force forfeiting anyone
just to get a silly win.
am after the game, not a win :D

and i was (as always)
multitasking so i really don't mind
if my opponent goes over the 2min mark.

i was like "hmm..he's quite good
and sure he knows how to play mind games against his opponent"
so i checked his profile to add him as a scrabble buddy.

and boy oh boy i was surprised.
am not a homophobic
but it gave me the creeps O.O

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,,
I'll tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it..
where's the sense in that?

I promise,
I'm not trying to make your life harder
or return to where we were.

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be.

Hello, SELF-ABSORPTION \m/

is one of a number of alternative spellings of the word "women".
...The term has been used in modern times
tied to the concept of feminism,
as a form of the word without the connotations of a patriarchal society.

but if you're smart as a fish you'd see a pattern.
as if the title isn't a give away for the theme.

good position too :D

hmmm...i remember that day(s)
when a multitude of em FB mighty womyn
had colors in their status.
madpropz to all those who participated in that activity,
was able to raise awareness on...am not saying :P
methinks you could google what the activity is all about,
or you could take a hint from this poem i wrote years back:

Status: Color

___________________ protect
I want to be the one to support you.
___________________ comfort

Lift you up whene'er you're down.
Make you feel big when'er you're feeling small.
Put things back together when they begin to fall apart.

I want to share your warmth...
hold your dreams...
.
.
.
be close to your heart so I could feel it's beat.

still clueless on the color thingy?
doh!? :D

I Hate My Pretty Face and My C-Cup Bra Size

Yes I do. No, I ain`t kidding.

I know you`re probably thinking that i`m a foolish lil twit who wouldn`t know luck if it bites her in the neck. Sure, I have something every girl wants to have, but that isn`t an assurance of happiness right?

Since that miserable day that I was born, my butt has been pinched approximately 50 times. My right breast, clinically speaking, still has a bruise after a guy, an a-hole if i may add, "accidentally" elbowed it. Perverts shout at me obscenities which could make Dr Rizal turn in his grave.

And you call me lucky. Fun huh?

Let me point out that my last statement was intended to be sarcastic. Yes, I know that you know.

Hell, this isn`t luck, this is suffering. Lord, if you`re listening right now, could you puhleez reduce my jugs` size, or better yet, just deflate it. Promise, I`ll be a good girl(well, I`ll try).

I`m fed up already. I`m tired of being treated like a slut just because I have large you-know-what. I can`t and I won`t put up with them anymore.

Guess what I do when some hornyasses holler at me? I point the dirty finger at `em and say, with a dazzling close-up smile, "Sorry, I don`t smoke. Try masturbation."

Shocked? Well, a girl does what she has to do. To hell with propriety. To hell with sense of decorum. Kindness begets kindness just as disrespect begets disrespect. Throw me a stone and I`ll throw back bread which is, take note, inside a 10-ton glass jar covered with spines.

No more miss nice girl.

I hope I didn`t give you the impression of me being a "palengkera" type (no offense to all the palengkeras out there). It`s just that I have to draw the line somewhere. Even saints have their limit, and this girl`s no saint I`m telling you.

Though most guys see me as a walking pair of boobs and legs, there are still some decent types left. I`ve noticed that the "bastos" ones are usually uneducated and sex-deprived, as opposed to my dear UPean guys who are gentlemen.

I`ve been called beautiful, sexy, charming, attractive, mysterious, the superficial list of adjectives goes on and on... but never intelligent. That is probably the biggest insecurity that I have. The last thing that I wanna be is a stereotypical maganda-nga-pero-bobo-naman type of girl.

All I want is to have my wits appreciated. To be respected. Is that a crime people?

agreed. womyn deserve respect.

Follow Me
by Michelle Newton

Take my hand and follow me
to that place I long to be.
Take my hand and trust my way,
in that place forever stay.
Follow me toward the sand;
we'll run and play, hand in hand.
Take my heart and hold it true;
forever I'll stay close to you.
Seize my words and listen well,
then forever I will tell.
Release your heart and feelings too,
just as I will do for you.
Trust your heart and follow me,
to that place we long to be.

Here's a collection of follow vids

~Last Dance~

As we dance
our romance
we turn in circles so gracefully.

Holding hands
lost in trance
our world rotates oh so perfectly.

You're with me..
you're with me.
That's all that matters..serenity.

i'm with you..
i'm with you.
That's where i always would want to be.

Beyond the rainbow's bend
flows our moon river that will never end.
