experiencing failure makes you wiser. sometimes your confidence will diminish. failure in early stage of life somehow fuel a desire but late in life is costly and demoralizing.
Hello, thanks for your comment- :-), I totally agree about your observation, we Filipinos has so many things to work on to, :-). I hope in due time- things will become more better for everyone- especially here in the Philippines, :-)
Hi Max!! am thrilled to see you my dear, ;-) All is well, thank you so much, :-) and how are you? :-) Indeed- it makes life unpredictable exciting sometimes, lol!
As an American married to a Filipina, I agree with what you're saying. Even to me it seems like Filipinos sometimes are too focused on other cultures to see the strengths of their own and to appreciate their own heritage. Lots of good things to think about.
Hi Leo :D! Yes, life (like water) takes many forms; it flows (sometimes calmly, and sometimes roughly) and it always takes us to that final destination (fate). How are you, darling? Cheers
i see improvements on global human rights. it's a favorite tool use by western world. i would not be very optimistic that they will confront china nor japan ... besides slap on the wrist. by the way you did a lot of reading, great reporting. could you improve human rights awareness in the philippines. that would be awesome.tnx
I don't know If I said it already but ...This blog rocks! I gotta say, that I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I'm glad I found your blog. Thanks, :) A definite great read..Jim Bean
hey, im writting a short story for my english assingment and can't seem to think of a name any suggestions. the story is about a 15 year old girl whos world gets changed around when her parents decid to move to london due to her fathers job, she gets teasded and bullied also set up by these mean 'cool' girls, all sugestions welcome!
Abigailmstall, you nailed it, . I think that is something i acquired from kids. working for them had given me that much. The sweetest words of innocence could become a double edge sword to grown-ups who have forgotten how to be pure like children.
How I wish to keep
Those secrets from myself,
Remembering the playground
When I did not understand,
And clinging to rich dreams
Was still for tomorrow.
Ellumbra, now that is another metaphoric and ironic statement… Love the haunting words…:-) your’E tempting my curiosity, lol. Thank you so much..:-) am still trying to catch up on things here..
Indeed framed into perfection. Another perfect poem from an excellent poetress. Loved it. And thanks for posting it at the Society page as well
Have a wonderful week Leofina Jane.

There is a strong sense of sophisticated sensuality. One who knows what the power of passion can do.
You’re a genius in writing poems that hooks! If you are a femme fatale drippingmind, you won’t be needing stillettos. You’re poems are enough to die for. Great write!
“Yet still, I
never learn
how to dance with
My secret lover.”
could be a lover-
unwanted
intruder
with a hunger to own
and be held captive by
the spell of your touch
your wonderful touch-
only meant to belong
to the god of gods.
a spell so powerful
such allure of grace that blinds
the hardest of minds of
ordinary mortals wishing
dreaming for one smile or a glance
coming from those wonderful eyes.

good to read this, thanks for that

i like the playfulness of this one. and the irony in your tone. makes it very enjoyable–like reading a children’s poem for adults.
that’s a compliment, by the way, not a way of degrading your talent!

The p.S. is definitely a priviledge. That would be great, and thank you so much!
