say you'll come and you did in my dream

say you want my cooking
and will come for the night
i blurted "let's eat outside 'cause i haven't been to the market yet"
end of conversation.


i was left hanging
pretended that i wasn't thinking that
i retired for the night.


asleep was i and was awakened
at two you knocked on my door
i rushed to see
and you did come
a warm hug greeted me
we talked, dined and
laughed
i collapsed
and nothing more i knew.


i checked the time
my cellphone at my side
it was 6:18 in the morning
a message flashed
'good morning.ü'
and so
i smiled.

i've left my heart to the place the last time we've talked

ask me now

how i feel

there's nothing left

'cause i have left

my heart

as well as my thoughts

to that place

sacred to me

the most.

if ever you'll go

back to that place

don't ever pick my heart

as well as my thoughts.

love letter

i used to write love letters back then and i love receiving one. at this age where cellphone, e-mails, facebook and other networking sites invade our lives, i still write letters. it is the sweetest form of communication for me. it's actually full of emotions and feelings plus mystery.

love letter for my han





goodbye Mondays

i happened to check my other drafts and i was amazed to see this poem i've written some months back.
i am saying goodbye Monday here which is really not me. I never dislike Monday.



and the time has come

for me to say

goodbye

on Monday

my favorite day of the week

my confinement

when my energy is fully recharged

when my thoughts are flowing

and

when




see, the poem is not complete simply because i still love Monday where my energy is fully recharged! :P

not bad at all venus!

Just two weeks ago, I was glued on tv for watching Ms. Universe 2010 pageant. I felt like I was watching it live cause I happened to applause and cheer for Ms. Philippines whenever she was called. Top 15, top 10 and down to the last spot--top 5. Of course overjoyed when she was called to join the top 5. I knew already that she had a spot either a runner-up or brought home the title.

At first, I was criticizing the candidates answer. They happened to choose a judge and be given each of them different question. Ms. Mexico was asked about internet; Ms. Jamaica - death penalty; Ms. Australia - freedom of choice; Ms. Ukraine - scanner and security service and for Ms. Philippines, well, a personal question ala slam book.

Celebrity judge William Baldwin asked Ms. Philippines about what biggest mistake she made in her life and what did she do to make it right. Ms. Philippines - Venus Raj, answered it with confidence and she said that there is no major, major problem in her 22 years of existence and she's happy because of the support that her family is giving to her. Because of that answer, she was judged as 4th runner up.

Okay, people have different say regarding her answer. But if we will analyze clearly, there is no perfect answer to that 'bad' question--yes i'm saying it bad cause there are millions of questions in which that guy Baldwin should ask but he still blurted that question.

Smart people have hard time answering that question. You will not disclose to the whole world your biggest mistake mind you. It will be a shame on your part. It's okay if you are bragged as Ms. Perfect but you know, it is really hard to answer that stupid question.

Venus may not get the crown but she got everybody's sympathy.
