Kung hahanapin mo 'ko ngayon, hindi mo 'ko mahahanap... Kung kahapon sana.


Blue Ice- Shout Out Louds

Cape Reinga Lighthouse

Pakinggan mo 'yung Blue Ice habang tinitingnan ang photo ng cute na cute (tulad mo) lighthouse na 'to.

Haiku

Alam mo ba ang haiku?



Ganito...

Ang palaso mo,
tumama sa puso ko...
Tanggalin mo nga

Eto pa,

Ikaw bubuyog,
'wag masyadong makulit
Mag-ingay na lang


Bola ng bowling
hinagis ko... malakas
Napuntang kanal



Alam mo na?
Gagawa ka na rin?
Alam mo ba kung paano gawin?



Pasensya na, tinatamad
kasi akong magpaliwanag kung
ano ba ang haiku at kung paano 'to ginagawa...










Gustong lumipad,
mamingwit ng bituin,
saka umibig

If I could at Ring of Fire

Hindi ko yata kaya eh... But if I could, I would.

"You know that I would, if only I could," sabi ni Jack Johnson
If I could

Eto 'yung semi-ring of fire kanina oh (actually, hindi talaga semi). Sa Tokyo, Japan alam ko ring of fire talaga. Hindi lang basta semi-ring of fire na tulad dito sa Pilipinas. Hindi ko 'to inabutan. Siya nga pala, tinatakpan ng buwan ang araw sa pagkakataong 'to. Nanonood kasi ako ng Umagang Kay Ganda kanina...

Enya

Enya ,

Para akong lumilipad ngayong hapon...

Ewan ko kung bakit bigla kong naisip na pakinggan si Enya gayong si Judee Sill ang trip na trip kong pakinggan nitong mga nakaraan.

At ayun nga, pinapakinggan ko ngayon si Enya. Para tuloy akong lumilipad, habang naglalaro ng NBA.

Tapos, makulimlim pa. 'Pag umulan, iiyak ako. Oo, seryoso. Kasi nga, para akong lumilipad.

Pero bigla-bigla, parang hindi na uulan. Ang ganda ng hapon.

Sana, alam ko ang mga pinagsasabi ko. Pati ikaw.

May nakakaalala pa ba sa cartoons na 'to na pinalabas noon sa channel 7?

Hindi ko noon ma-gets kung bakit ganoon ang ending nitong cartoons na 'to.

Panaginip lang ang lahat? What the... Nice heartbreaking ending.

Pero ngayon alam ko na. O baka hindi pa dahil nanghuhula lang naman ako e. 

Opinions?

Carrot, Egg or Coffee Bean (repost)

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

 

Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what do you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.

 

She brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee.

The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity-boiling water-but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter.

 

"When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate to another level? How do you handle Adversity?

Are You a Carrot, an Egg, or a Coffee Bean?

Astig nung coffee bean :)
