I took this picture few hours before my flight back to my homeland. ^_^ I've waited for the right moment and took several shots because this tiny creature moves so fast...

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

Muscat, Oman

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

it's lovely to hear them sing... i have to stay in the rooftop just to capture their beauty!

According to mr wiki, Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth.

Di ko pa ramdam ang summer... ^_^

kalayaan

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 15:51:00 +0000

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto’t bulaklak
Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda’t dilag

At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko,binihag ka
Nasadlak sa dusa

Ibon man may laying lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag
Ang di magnasang makaalpas

Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko’t dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya

Kung magksksama-sama lang ang taong bayan
Ay matutupad
Ang bayan natin ay lalaya at ang
Katarungan malalasap

Ang kasamaan ay di naghahari
Kung ayaw nating tanggapin
Tayo nang magkaisa
Labanan natin ang naghaharing dilim

Ibon man may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag
Ang di magnasang makaalpas

Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko’t dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya

let it be... let it be....

[bataan]

Oras Na by Asin

May bulong, dinggin mo
Ihip ng ating panahon
May sigaw, dinggin mo
At ubos na ang oras mo

Oras na, magpasiya
Kung saan ka pupunta
Oras na, oras na
Mag-iba ka ng landas

Tayo na sa liwanag
Ang takot ay nasa isip lamang
Tama na ang pag-aalinlangan
Ang takot ay nasa isip lamang

Kung daa’y di tiyak
Ang ulo’y laging ligaw
Damhin mo, damhin mo
Ang landas ng puso mo …

Tayo na sa liwanag
Ang takot ay nasa isip lamang
Tama na ang pag-aalinlangan
Ang takot ay nasa isip lamang

Dinggin mo, damhin mo
Ang landas ng puso mo
Oras na, oras na
Magbuo ka ng pasiya …

Tayo na sa liwanag
Ang takot ay nasa isip lamang
Tama na ang pag-aalinlangan
Ang takot ay nasa isip lamang

Takot ay nasa isip lamang …

happy birthday little bro

Dearest Little Brother Mark,

How is it going? How was your journey in heaven? Have you seen the 5 people you must meet? Just kidding, I’m assuming that the book “Five People You Meet in Heaven” might be true. I am very sure that you’re in the safe place holding hands with the LORD.

You are supposed to be 23 years old last April 13, 2010. We celebrated your day by remembering your existence with us. You have lived a-not-so-perfect-life as what I have observed it. I left you, the house so I could live like other children do, at least. I need to leave because I would die being beaten up by “him” again and again.

Mark, we are currently still in a state of shock and trying to recuperate as much as we can. After you have awakened most of your relative by your “tricks”, we are now aware of what is happening around us and we are really thankful for that.

Thank you for guiding us especially showing us the truth, the right way and the right choices we have made. I know you know what is happening around for a month now or years maybe for we have just learned the FACTS / TRUTH or we just have realized we we’re unconscious most of the time. Now we are fully awake!

Mark, I know you are also tired of all the bullshits we have encountered here on earth that’s why you want us to live in reality. They say you are an angel for us and I believe that too. You have enlightened us in many ways ~ most the things / issues are in place now and still striving to straighten it up and hoping it won’t happen again ~ to the “others”. What I mean is the pattern of the events / doings must be stopped or let the people be aware of “it”.

I would really sound crazy / quirky writing you these things in public. But it’s okay – I’m used to it and almost reaching the state of accepting that I am one of the strange artists living on earth. At least, I am now fully aware and learned a lot secrets they didn’t told us and lies “they” didn’t tell us.

You know how happy we are for all the consecutive blessings and guidance we accepted from God and from you. “They” didn’t realize that things are reaching the surface as it was not really meant to be buried along with you or the other relatives. God has taken you in an early age so you would not experience the tragic memories we encounter.

There’s an Easter saying: “You can put TRUTH in a grave, but it won't stay there... f o r e v e r!”

It was you who made the moves and it’s time to inculcate that saying to those who have wronged us, to those who made us looked like nuts, to those who betrayed us and turning the stories in 360 degrees angle and not focusing to the real issues. Well, they can do that to the living but they couldn’t do that to the ONE Who can see “them” through and through.

I expect more revelations from you Mark; I really have faith in you and to the “One” who allows us to experience life on earth. We miss you a lot. I always imagined if you were alive you must be our bestfriend and we could fool around as what we (doodz) are doing it most of the time. Laughing at the tv shows or the jokes we received from text or fb and making “knock knock, who’s there”.

We love movies and especially scary ones and sweets, I know you love sweets too.. I can still remember your dead teeth because of the candies… Hope you are enjoying all the good things there… We miss you and love you so much… Till we meet again… have a wonderful journey my little brother..

Love,

Manang Mimi

may you rest in peace lolo Resting

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:33:00 +0000

Lolo Resting was not an affectionate person, but he would show his love by setting up a swing just for me on the trunk of a mango tree. I spent ample time there wondering why things happen in unfortunate ways. I learned how to love the wind as it brushes against my skin. I also learned how to overcome my fear of heights and most especially, I learned how to appreciate nature.

He would also bathe me and my cousin in the water pump (bomba in Bisaya) because we don't have Maynilad or whatever commercialized water connection they had in Capiz when we were kids. He was the one who came to my school when I was in 3rd grade because someone repeatedly hit me on the head. I don't know who the woman was. We later found out that she was out of her mind.

Music was the only thing I knew he enjoyed doing. He could play a piano by the ears (without formal lesson), celendron, guitar, etc. In short, marunong siya manipra (sipra is the term used for the process of listening to a song and be able to play it using an instrument without the use of chords). I think his kids and apos got this talent from him.

Lolo showed his love in his own ways. I can still remember vividly the last day of my deceased brother on earth. He brought him to the barber shop and came home with a fever. The next day, my brother died. Good thing, he was sent to heaven with a nice haircut.

Who would forget the smell of his pamada (it's like a hair gel)? I grew up with it and honestly, I hate the smell! Grrr... I don't understand that smell. Another funny thing with him is that you can tease him to give you money. We, his grandkids, would beg money from him na parang lambing lang. We'd buy ice cream or pizza and he would laugh and tease us because of the way how we beg him.

I know lolo was prepared to be sent in heaven. He was diffrent when we left Capiz. He cried. I haven't seen him cry in my entire life. Yun na pala yun.

*lo, wala da beer! regards to my little bro... we will miss you...

[thank you mags for helping me...]

May you rest in peace... Paalam po...
Maraming salamat...

Hindi ko maalala kung saang kuha itong larawan pero sa tingin ko sa Manila ito (sa mga pahanong canceled ang mga flights)... Suot ng tiyahin ko ang damit na may larawan ng dating Pangulong Corazon C. Aquino. Bigay sa kanya ng isa ko pang tiyahin na pumunta sa Malacanang na nagdala ng pagkain para sa mga sundalo... at! kasama ang Mama ko (umakyat sa gate... sa panahong di makalabas ang mga tao sa Malacanang)... Habang ang Papa ko naman ay nasa probinsya ng Capiz- Roxas City nakikibaka mairaos ang snap election bilang chairman ng Namfrel sa barangay namin..

ehem... iba talaga ang impluwensya ng pamilya...

*first part palang po itong tribute ko, mejo naghukay ng baul mahanap ang mga pictures... sa ngayon, ang Tiyahin kong naka suot ng t-shirt ay nagsisilbi bilang konsehal sa barangay namin sa probinsya. sa tingin ko sinusundan nya ang yapak ng yumaong pangulo sa kanyang mumunting paraan... malinis at marangal...

Absence

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:26:00 +0000

I have the tendency of being a “turtle”… sometimes I lurk and sometimes I make my self present in everything, social gathering, get together, internet matters and etc. Some have noticed I am not roaming around the cyber space again and my absence made them sort of worried… I am thankful and feel blessed having those people… (andrama) ^_^

In God’s grace I’m getting better and hoping to cope up with everything… I am hopeful that I will be back on the circulation sooner! With the help of my family, close friends and the magic of the science of medicine. I feel so blessed that I’m on my way to the journey I was looking (searching) for ages to appreciate the beauty of this complicated and challenging world.

I think I was really born to visit different hospitals from time to time. When I was a child I can’t count how many times I was admitted and treated with different illness with lots of needles and antibiotics… (most of it I cant remember)… from acute laryngotracheobronchitis, tonsillitis (that was suspected leading to rheumatic heart that’s why I have to be injected every month with a painful needles and sticky fluid to prevent it!!!), gastritis, gastroenteritis, allergic rhinitis, allergies (etc), amoebiasis, anemia, astigmatism with near-sightedness, bitten by a dog, bitten by a cat. whew! These are just few of the tragedies I’ve gone through… and I am still alive! Glad I found out what I have right now is neither fatal nor contagious… amen!

As what they’ve said “No pain no gain”… but I lose weight and did not gain!!! Hehe… good thing!

I guess I’m not immune being on earth.. just kidding.. ^_^ I might be healthy living on Mars… Just this month I got a flu vaccine (thanks to my mom who injected me), just in case…you know, the immunity thing…

Have a wonderful life everyone! ^_^

sa wakas!

noreply@blogger.com (mimi) — Sat, 16 May 2009 16:01:00 +0000

Sa tagal ng pag aantay ko kasama pa ang ibang mga taga hanga nya... sa WAKAS may kopya narin ako ng libro ni Mr. Bob Ong!

Kahapon ni pick-up ko ang order ko sa isang moderator ng "bobongpinoy yahoo groups" dahil mabibili ng mga taga "groups" ang libro sa murang halaga... 140php lang at 175php sa mga bookstore... hindi ako active sa yahoogroups, "lurker" lang ako doon pero ng makita kong pede mag order.... di na ako nagdalawang isip...

maikling kwento:
Noong nasa koleheyo pa ako may isang akong profesor na nag-suggest ng libro ni Mr. Bob na "ABNKKBSNPLAko?".... di ko noon pinansin ang sinabi nya pero na curious na ako, hangang sa na graduate na ako at sya naman ay "pinatalsik" daw... hmmm.... Kakaibang profesor talaga sya dahil may pagka "makibaka aura" ang kanyang dating pero gusto ko ang pamamaraan ng pagturo nya na parang "homeschooling style", parang read and write about your topic.. yun lang...

Pagkatapos ko ng koleheyo, may nagpahiram sa akin ng "ABNKKBSNPLAko?" hangang sa nagmukha akong baliw sa kakatawa at naalala ang kabataan ko, at hangang sa nabili ko na lahat ang mga libro nya ng sunod sunod. Ang iba durog na dahil hinihiram ng isa, tapos diko na alam kung sino pa ang humiram... ang iba nawala tapos pinalitan ng bago...

Stainless Langonisa ang pinaka paborito ko, dahil nabasa ko ito ng sobra sa dalawang beses....
Hindi ako mahilig sa magbasa at late bloomer ako sa pagbabasa ng mga libro, pero kung may mga author na kagaya nya na hinihimok ang mga tao / istudyante magbasa, mag-aral, magsikap, mamulat sa kapaligiran, sa politika, sa corruption at kung anu anu pa... sinong aayaw sa pagbabasa? Kahit hindi istudyante, kahit lola, lola, lolo, nanay, tatay, auntie, uncle, elementary students kayang basahin ang nilalaman ng libro nya... madalas makakarelate dito ang mga bagets ng 80's... promise... mga kasabayan ng aunties ko... hehehe...

yun lang...

*pasensya na po di ako nakakaikot sa ibang blog... babalik ako promise!
