There will be a single spark of light.
But not from the stars. Because even them,
they have shied away and have forgotten.
Here, only from my birthday candle
casting shadows waltzing the wall
and the chilly wind whistling a tune,
sending wisps of wishes, for tonight.
While the rest of the world snoozes
in its deafening silence. Getting used
with the normalcy of [...]

Be still. Please focus. Would you wait
until my iris capture you of snapshots? I am here.
Don’t notice. Your portrait on my mind, I dodged
and burned. Don’t worry. I won’t
over-expose the sequences of the memory
fleshed out from my canister, the last strip of film.
On my negative- your wavelength of light escapes
through my lenses, I would carefully [...]

Today, he waits
at the station, searching through
the window panes. And soon
he’ll run along, chasing
shadows to his past.
The train became a home
to a lover. A wanderer of days-
exiled to traveling distances.
An evacuee amidst
the maze of constant strangers.
A thought, he is keeping-
of a woman he lost.
That last glimpse returning,
as she boarded a train-
happily blew him a kiss.
But [...]

Father, I remember-
waiting for you
on my birthday
And they say,
you’ll bring home
a present like
what other boys have.
I wish of a little toy
I will ride along
in the neighborhood.
And try to belong.
Father, I forgot
how long-
I have chased
the speed of days,
counting roosters
that have crowed
at dawn break.
All the hope
that have died
and buried inside. I forgot
the tears that have dried.
Father, quite [...]

Pensive as I was in this lazy afternoon. Looking out in the window and the hazy light filtered through. Sending dust like a strobe of crystals. I stared. Just stared for the longest time.
The muse didn’t come as I expected. Like an acrylic tube on the verge of squeezing out of its contents, I just [...]

I prepared a meal tonight
for two-
forgive me
If I burn the dinner.
Just don’t know how
to hold the pan.
I wage a battle.
And I am afraid
of the flames,
and the sound
of the oil
furiously
expelling water.
I waited for you
till two-
forgive me
If that is all I have to do.
Just don’t know how
to hold your time.
I braved through agony.
And I am afraid
of the [...]

Three years. One hundred blogposts. From country music to a foggy day rounded up three years of cent-worth of personal ramblings on life.
At first, I only intended to try the blog feature of Friendster just for self-expression. To speak up my mind more intimately on things we often neglect and have taken for granted.
I am [...]

Today is January 1 of 2009, I woke up early, surprised why there are no lights from my windows. Normally, I see car headlights in the street and lighted windows from the buildings each morning. Looking at the clock, time seems to have overstepped its normal pace.
I came out of the front door and there the [...]

I am sitting here. Stranger as I am. Finally, this is the freedom I always wanted. No one obliged me to be here. Just as my whole being in its truest moment. One with the wind and the sea.
I am sitting here. Just letting the blue sky engulf me. As I record each frame of [...]

The sweet girl has finally became a complete woman. A mother. As I watch little Rian in the webcam, kicking the football toy held by his mom, I cannot hold back the tears from welling my eyelids. I am so happy with this friend who once had the sweetest smile, with her good-naturedness and hearty [...]
