The town looked ghostly in its slumber. Yet people don’t seem to notice. Children don’t play games together anymore. They stay home with their own computers. Wives and husbands don’t kiss goodnight. They are so tired to care. People stay longer at work than at home with their families. Vegetables beds are now plowed to be part of a commercial establishment. People hide in their own shadows, not facing reality. The town has become ghostly, and people have noticed. They just fail to really look.

Far From You

It's been a blur since you left for your trip, yet you seem like a breath away. You always say that distance is nothing but a concept made by engineers like you who measure every millimeter, and by writers like me, who define it with loneliness and waiting. I would say, we have redefined and conquered it twice, we can.. just again, even how many times over.

The stars are gone this eve and it might rain again, but I smile and think you're just here within me, shining brightly. It's the 47th...

Planet Rejuvenation

My father always had this idea of an apocalypse, but unlike in the Bible, his idea was simple - a 2-second judgment, vanishing all human beings except for new-born babies. He says God will do the selection of who goes to heaven and who will burn in hell somewhere outside the Earth.

Meanwhile, back in Earth, new-born babies will grow into an entirely new generation of naturally "good" people. They may carry their parents' genes, but no way could their minds be immediately have been polluted by the old generation. There will be no such thing as money, thus food will be free and available under trees and in vast oceans. People will know how to hunt, fish and gather food. Therefore, politics, which may exist sometime soon to take care of organizations, will not be dirty as it is known today. There will only be a society of "good" people caring and growing for each other.

This was my father's idea of an effective planet rejuvenation.

Now I realize, it does not sound so impossible, does it?

Psychedelic

The silence is deafening. No wind is coming in through the open window, not in any gaping hole. Colours faded to gray around the room. The world seemed to have stopped moving, and nobody seemed to have noticed except me.

DropsOfAugust

The music plays loud in my head, but still I can hear the trickle of the rain. It must be the 8th month again.

August always was full of surprises since I was a kid, but there always would be most special in every year - this I make it a point to have. I am aging a notch again soon, and as usual, I seem to have grown a lot than I should, emotionally, psychologically, and a lot more "-ly's" except physically. It must have been a long way.

One thing is for sure though - It will be rainy. I want to share a secret and that is, that I have never had a birthday that did not rain. If the exception happens this year, I should well be prepared.

But it's not always good news. Rain comes in with thunders and lightnings, and sometimes, it's hard not to get hit. But at the end of the day, what's important is not who got hit or not, but how one was able to surpass the day without hurting anybody else, and was able to keep the faith, and the next day will see the rain coming and feel blessed.

Our Shield

The island looked small today. I imagine the vast waters surrounding it and I felt a tinge of fear. But the fear was instantly gone as I saw the sky instead. It covered the land and the waters. Beyond the sky, I imagined heaven and God far greater, far mightier and I feared no more...

Diminishing Reason

Time fly past me. Work has been demanding a lot of time lately, and I watch each day end until I would be ready to close my eyes again for a short sleep.

I am reminded of what the world has become. How many people are like me, letting each valuable hour and minute on important, but not as valuable as spending time with the people they love? The sad reason: the need to survive, the need to keep the job, the feeling to want more and more - whichever is it, the question remains - is it worth it?

One thing though is for sure - I am not as guilty as many people may be. The truth is that I have been hearing this question posted everywhere but it is only when I was in College that I truly learned my lesson. So now, I make it a point to have that sense of balance. I might want to share that experience one time, but as of now, I have to go and meet mydhad. ;-)

Sunday Morning

I had a very good sleep last night. It must have been the long day yesterday.

By the way, we are in our new home now. Everything looks good. I could now see the sunrise peeping through the bathroom windows, which is the best thing in this new crib. The wind coming in is colder here than where we were. Now that's odd, because the old room is just beside this new room (literally) and the wind should come from the same direction. But I don't want to worry about that, do I?

Today, I plan to wash the dishes, do the laundry and later, go to mass. Typical Sunday, eh?

Moving Forward...

It feels good to finally have a blog! This may look simple, but this is exactly how I want it. :) Today, I will start posting anywhere, anytime about anything at all.

Now that I mentioned it, I might as well start talking about this new room we were able to rent for a reasonable price. The size is just right, approx 3x5 sq.m and it has this very tiny comfort room (just right for me), and it has good ventilation.

I guess that's it for my first post! There's nothing much to say, just starting out.. and moving forward.
Ciao!
