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

vivid yet very clear phrase in this exemplary penned poem. The title is perfect for the drifts in this multi angled poem. This is one of the best poetry blogs I’ve seen. Keep on writing excellent poems.
Jane, old friend, I had to come back to this post the third time, and read it over again, and again, before I could muster up something to say. And yet, I’m speechless, as with most of your other poems.
Poetry is something I really do not understand, and that’s reason enough why it holds so much fascination for me.
To you, poetry comes so naturally… it’s amazing; you’re amazing!
Kudos to you!!!
You must be describing the unification of soul and logic in this poem. Or, how the conscious and the unconscious became one, defining the person in you. You write EXQUISITE POETRY drippingmind. Agree with Sayan. A naturally gifted poet, you are.
i see a candle
form as a cross
lit to brightness
on top of a woman
flame in a form of a vase
from a glowing message
i could see but
ain’t gifted
to mumble
on this page.
Where should I start from?
“Recently I took a step wider, wiser.” – growth is the word coming to my mind.
“I sent my silent voice for the gift of time – with you. You heard me and you came.” – telepathic messages that seem to work well with lovers (true lovers I mean). And the message was heard…is there bigger proof of love?
“Finally, my soul became Me” – this is extremely beautiful and deep (you are complete now. You have found yourself and connected with your inner soul, with Yourself)!
Fantastic poem, just fantastic: congratulations!!!
Hi Sayan, wow, that’s a huge, enormous, gracious thing to say my friend. Bless you!:-). Re: I havent, thanks for the info. My hands are quite full these days, I’ll surely check on it though,:-) thanks!
My dear Max, thank you! As always!:-) you’re one of my fav person around, you know,:-). It’s just amazing to see your interesting comments, very wise, very smart! Hugs my dear, bless you!:-)

Keep writing!!
