Where to Next

here's another ee cummings work. am in the mood for a little bit of poetry right now. 

travelling or vacationing sometimes does that to me. the peace and serenity you 

experience somehow sets the mood for it.

somewhere i have never travelled

somewhere i have never travelled, galdly beyond

any experience,your eyes have their silence:

in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,

or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me

though i have closed myself as fingers,

you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens

(touching skilfully,mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me,i and

my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,

as when the heart of this flower imagines

the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals

the power of your intense fragility: whose texture

compels me with the color of its countries,

rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes

and opens; only something in me understands

the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)

nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands

Bakasyon Muna

matagal-tagal din akong nawala dito sa blogging world.

sobra akong naapektuhan sa init ng klima dito sa aking sulok ng mundo. even with the toolbox talks we are getting on the job about preventing heat stress/stroke, pakiramdam ko hindi talaga kaya ng katawan ko ang sobrang init. as if it can be helped... eh talaga naman kailangan kong lumabas at mainitan sa airport during my flight inspections.

it even came to the point na nag-n-nosebleed na ako at parang mag-c-crack na ang ulo ko, na para bang hihimatayin na ako. sobra!!!

so i handed my application for leave and was granted a month's vacation which i spent where else but home. it's been a long while since i did nothing but stay home and spend R&R moments with my family. good thing i've reached 18 months at work already so now eligible for that leave. i only took casual leave (about 2 weeks) last feb when i went to vietnam with my family for my bday. this time the resource planning (read, $$$) has not been that difficult since it's a paid vacation (tickets and all). lucky me!

see me here much too happy as we were travelling home from the airport.

will be posting pics of this bakasyonista on my next entries.

Ramadan

couldn't stick to my diet. tried to go along with the fasting, but that too doesn't seem to work. however am i gonna get back to my previous size?

August Notes

my dad and bro esmuky's bday always opens this month. dad went home to iligan. the couples in the neighborhood were having a prayer meeting for him when i called home.

esmuky on the other hand was on the gala again with his brods and HS friends.

all my best wishes to two important men in my life. may the good Lord continue to bless you both with a happy, healthy and peaceful life.

malapit na naman ang ramadan. mainit pa rin dito sa work.

At Home on my Off Day

good it is also my aunt's day-off today. I woke up and decided to go to Carrefour for some light shopping. was able to talk to my aunt and learned she also had the day off and so we went instead to Satwa and did some shopping there.

this is our life here. really looking forward to any rest and quiet time that we can have.

So Hot

my color's back again.. after being toasted alive in this climate.

and i'm way bigger than ever! can't seem to control my size anymore. i guess it's old age. haaay, the years are slowly beginning to show. and i'm perpetually changing wardrobe... waaa!!! my clothes are getting a tad too tight na.

i hope my friends can still recognize me in this size. it's high time for a drastic diet! hoooh!

Achy Breaky Heart

broken hearted again...

as Kris A. says, i have come to terms with the fact that relationships are not for me. maybe, i am meant to be single forever. if that is the case, then i'm going to make the most of being a single woman and be the best that i can be being single and enjoy my single-blessedness.

kaya ba nag-splurge na naman ako sa isang liz claiborne bag? haay, what an expensive way to lift my mood , ha?
