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

I like that. I have not stumbled upon your blog before. Are you Leofina?
I admire those who can write peotry. The artful play with words and thoughts is inspiring.
I have been writing articles about goal setting, a long way from peotry. I am actually taking part in a Write a Book in a Weekend event this weekend. If you are interested in putting your poetry into a book check out the link. Maybe by Monday we will both have books ready to be published.
Very nice. I like your use of the word “Ardently.” It’s not a word commonly used in verse, at least that I’ve seen and to me it is the one word that brings the poem into complete focus. Well done. I’ll be back.
I. Cant, thank you so much for your comment,:-). Welcome to my blog,:-).
I’ve been trying to use ordinary, “not-so-poetic” words in my latest poems. Just an effort to bride the gap of diversed understanding due to individual inclinations and viewpoints.:-)

“And now I met
you again but-
running-
no more.”
i love this one
but i’m still
running
for fear
of tulips petals
closing on me
i need air
to breath free
like flowers visited
by bees on summer
and leave there
prints
for me
to ponder on the
winter

Thank you for the lovely verses,:-).

Exquisite penning by a natural poet. You seem to drink and eat poetry, drippingmind. Effortlessly.
