Yellow
I must've done something really good to have been blessed by wonderful friends - they're not much but just enough for me to keep them in my memory bank until forever.
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow.
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow.
I Bruise Easily
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me.
There's a mark you leave, like a love heart, carved on a tree.
I bruise easily, can't scratch the surface without moving me.
Underneath I bruise easily, I bruise easily.
- Natasha Bedingfield

Cab Thoughts
"As long as you love me, I'll be okay."
These lovely words, almost shook me - I meant that in a very good way because out of nowhere, Hon just blurted it out. Corny as it may seemed to be but I'd always take that from that same man whose love I promise to keep.
What can I say? Love bug has bitten me 4 years ago and left me a pretty scar.

I'm so Flattered
It must be the endless zing with wordplay or just the sheer indulgence of writing. I cannot point.
Ha! Still and all, I am flattered.
But it leaves me with - are you saying that only the genius can understand my writings? I hope not.

Live Forever
Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever

Fight and Might
Rapt with certain darkness;
The water is getting more abysmal;
Lifting one's head day by day.
Grasping for more air - just to breathe.
Shy away that certain blues;
And give away those sweet and lovely smiles;
But behind the closed doors -
A sobbing and jumbled soul.
At the break of the dawn;
Certain sadness still crawls;
To fight the adversity all the days;
And leaves the soul to almost wonder.
Lessons are to be learned;
Hope is still quite intact;
One the day, the soul will brag -
"No regrets -
For I lived, loved and laughed with all my might."

No Comment
The snoopy would almost always wonder why I don't allow such readers to write their comments on each piece I would publish on my page.
My roots are distinct and that facile.
1. This page was created solely for MY thoughts - that at the time they were written, they were true to me although it may not necessarily be true to me in the offing. Nothing is so absolute, yes?
2. Having said that, I would not want for the curious to dump their balderdash on my precieux tabloid. While I am all up for "agreeing to disagree", I am taking this as a precaution to eschew uncalled-for comments - be it good or bad. If such readers would want to comment on anything I wrote, they can take it somewhere else and better yet, publish their own blog.
3. I don't write because I am a sucker for approval and attention. Hell no! I simply write because of the sheer need to express. Come on, can't you see - I ALWAYS beg to differ?! The writer in me writes to express, NEVER to impress.
Should you still find yourself flustered about such reasons I just cited, that is not my problem anymore. As always, I will move on, shine in my own little way and will unceasingly write - agree or not.

An Apt Reminder
People always think that the most painful thing in life is losing the one you value. The truth is, the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of valuing too much and forgetting that you are special too.

Raise Delinquent Kids
Some sort of a warning to parents and/or guardians in rising kids.
How to Raise Delinquent Kids:
1. Give the child everything he wants. In this way he will grow up believing the world owes him a living.
2. When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This will make him think he's cute. It will also encourage him to pick up cuter phrases that will blow off the top of your head later.
3. Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he's 21 and let him decide for himself.
4. Pick up everything he leaves lying around - books, shoes, clothing. Do everything for him so he will be experienced in throwing all responsibility to others.
5. Avoid the use of the word "wrong." He may develop a guilt complex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is arrested for stealing a car, that society is against him and he is being persecuted.
6. Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful that the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilized, but let his mind feed on garbage.
7. Quarrel frequently in the presence of your children. In this way they will not be too shocked when the home is broken up later.
8. Give a child all the spending money he wants.
9. Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. See that every sensual desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration.
10. Take his side against neighbors, teachers and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child.
11. When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourself by saying, "I never could do anything with him."
12. Prepare for a life of grief. You will be apt to have it.

Phoenix Rising
Swat me with all your might;
Pretermit me all you want;
Spade me with all that there is;
I will cry -
But I will rise again and again.

Missing Hon
It dawned on me,
I haven't seen you in days.
Something is unequivocally amiss.
Hurry! Run to me from far away -
And feel my loving warmth.
I haven't seen you in days.
Something is unequivocally amiss.
Hurry! Run to me from far away -
And feel my loving warmth.
I Miss You
To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, Utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you.

Lessons from Peninsula
EM Maceda
December 4th 2007
Daily Tribune
December 4th 2007
Daily Tribune
1. No coup led by military elements can succeed without people's support.
2. People will not come out unless they know who will take over if the people power activity succeeds. Major opposition groups did not join because they believed it would have resulted in a takeover by a military junta.
3. Civil society by itself cannot draw people out unless prominent political leaders are seen leading the gathering.
4. Three bishops who do not have the stature of a cardinal or archbishop of Manila also do not have sufficient drawing power. What happened to Bishop Antonio Tobias? Where was Bishop Deogracias Yniguez?
5. With Army Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and company able to leave the Makati City Regional Trial Court and walk three kilometers and two hours to Manila Peninsula hotel without anybody blocking them raise questions about PNP and AFP. They said they had advance intelligence reports.
6. The ramming of a tank into the Peninsula lobby was an overkill and brute demonstration of the arrogance of power, if not fear.
7. The arrest of media persons was totally unnecessary and also demonstrated lack of mature leadership in the PNP. This became the main story. Will the National Press Club make good in its plan to file cases against the PNP?
8. The declaration of curfew again demonstrated the martial law mentality of the Arroyo administration. (akaDelilah: But to me it was rather necessary.)
9. The conduct of Lim was puzzling.
10. Unless GMA wakes up and attends to the valid complaints of military men, her government will continue to be unstable. Protests and rallies will persist.
Columnist Liling Briones stated it clearly: "When open violation of the simplest rules of accountability continues, when cries of justice remain unheard, when open bribery continues unabated and legal procedures are ignored with impunity, acts of defiance will erupt at the most unpredictable times."
11. Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay was correct in not having rushed to the Peninsula. As the president of United Opposition and a confirmed critic of the administration, he would have been accused of being part of the Lim/Trillanes/KME/civil society/"United Forces" activity and today would be charged of rebellion.
12. Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro and Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno were clearly in charge. They should investigate why the AFP and PNP intelligence services were caught by surprise.
13. Who will pay for the damages to the Peninsula?
14. Lim and Trillanes, bright PMA graduates, must have had a good reason for them to have gone to the Peninsula. In due time, truth will come out.

I Heart Kaka
It was only over the weekend when this boy caught my heart and I knew right there, I was smitten.
Kaka (fullname: Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite) was introduced to me (and the rest of the Makati BOL congregation) by Coach Ime last Sunday morning. While I have always liked David Beckham (who doesn't?), I never considered myself a football/soccer fan and never had the balls to watch such games either.
I googled Kaka and found out that he plays for A.C. Milan and is considered as one of the world's best football player. With his fame and extraordinary talent, what made me overly smitten by this boy is that he flamboyantly expresses his love for his Creator. I mean, he lives in Europe where it is almost bizarre to ever profess your faith and be a Christian. But this boy, being a famed 25 year old football player - never failed to give his Creator a glory He alone deserves.
I have attached some of Kaka's pictures showing him give glory to his Creator.

I love what one writer said about him, "I’m not a fan of public prayer. I think it is often hypocritical and self-glorifying. Even so, I can’t help but muse on the profound difference between LeBron James shouting “King James” and pounding his chest to celebrate himself after a big dunk and Kaka’ rejecting both the public’s adulation and the team’s celebration in favor of dropping to his knees and giving the glory to a higher king."
Without a doubt, I heart Kaka.

Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the different.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy int his life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
- Reinhold Niebuhr

Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy int his life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
- Reinhold Niebuhr
