Am I the only one who watches Netflix in 1.5 speed so I can watch more in lesser time? 🧐🤫

Balancing Ephemerals

Without battle there'll be no balance.

With all the ephemerals that life has to offer, constant battle  is essential to achieve balance. It is not the war we're winning or losing, but the balance that is constantly being tipped.

If nothing ever changed...

There'd be no butterflies 🦋

But I ain't givin' up quite yet

I've got too much to lose...

In the silence of the night...

Nostalgia

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

So after 8 long years of no communication with my best friend since college... 

We had a little chat a while ago.

He called me out of the blue and we talked about our lives now, about our busy schedules , and how we cope up with our family and work and life.

But more than just how we miss each other, is the fact that it is like a day didn't passed by between us. It's like we're still in the same page where we stopped. We picked up just where we left 8 years ago. Nothing has changed, still the same old buddy I used to know.

Still the guy I used to hang out with, watch movies with, dine out with and the one I ran to when I was heart broken.

I believe this is the best kind of friendship.

The one that last a lifetime even if you don't communicate everyday.

That even almost a decade of not seeing each other, we still know each other, and we still live with our friendship.

Oh! Geez! Your brain is so much handsome than your gorgeous face. 

Love Crimes

So you lied about your feelings

To sabotage mine.

And I smiled with a broken heart

To save that friendship line.

And we can talk about anything 

And just anytime.

But we can no longer be honest

Our hearts bound with love crimes.

Through the years... I'm still a fan of these Mmmbop boys. ☺️

JeALoUS

Jealous...

Of the one making you smile,

Of the one making you sing,

Of the one making you blind... to see me.

Jealous...

Of the one making your heart throbs,

Of the one making your chest shouts,

Of the one taking your breath away... from me.

Jealous... 

Of the one you don't want to let go,

Of the one that pushes me to let you go,

Of the one... And so I go.

Fun Facts

One of my many talents is ignoring someone I really really like...

In fact, I am so good at it, I could even get an award. 🤣🤔😁

Pictures and Lyrics

Your the tar in that old cigar

And the worn out cable on a cable car...

Catch the view and another good book to read...

Into the haze of this city and go south...

The Last Ride

Did I miss the last ride?

Going home

To be with you?

Did I miss the last train?

To the road

Leading to you?

Did I miss the last flight?

Out here

Destined to you?

Cause I've been running...

Til I got tired.

So I walked...

Rented cars

And rented homes

All but you.

Cars passed me by

But too afraid to hitch.

With my past

In my back pack.

Here I am alone.

Walking bound home.

Thinking what am I missing?

Did I miss the missing piece?

Did I miss my last chance?

To be home

Where I belong

With you.

Pretty White Lies

Once was a pretty white lie

Made of innocence

Covered with conscience

Until honesty died.

Then the pretty white lie

Turned into three

Then into a million ugly

And all the whiteness died.

For a million pretty white lies

Doesn't get prettier

Doesn't get whiter

But the prettiness dies.

Your million pretty white lies

You thought will create rainbows

But it made you black holes

Where unicorns die.

I dare your pretty white lies

Floating on the lake

Dirty muds on trails

Where your myths and poetries die.

Stars and Boulevards

Even if the words they say aren't true...

They've won...

Cause All the Stars and Boulevards ain't Close Enough to You.

One Day in the Year of the Ox

May this New year be a year of hope to all of us.

More than just happiness, may we have a joyful heart that can conquer all the sadness we have.

More that just trust, may we have the courage to leap that faith.

More than just love, may we have the will to pursue it.

More than just wealth, may we have the health to work for it.

More than just an inspiration, may we have the passion to chase it.

More than just the wisdom to discern right from wrong, may we have the guts to act on it.

And more than just humanity, may we have the kindness to share it.

Happy New Year!

For only Art can justify a dirty hand.

It's Just Another New Year's Eve

This New Year, looking back from the past year full of struggles, I am still thankful that we are safe and sound. We are still alive and kicking.

The past year challenged me hard but it was also the time that I finally had proven myself. And I thank God for always backing me up.

I finally learned how to drive.

I finally was able to enroll again for my graduate studies.

And I and my family are doing just fine.

This year, I only pray that God will continue blessing us abundantly in every aspects of our lives.

And of course, that this pandemic will finally come to an end.

Happy New Year to all! ♉
