My DIM world

Not that I succumb my very self on this murky abyss of sanity..

Not that I take refuge on this shadowy bend..

Not that I wallow, dreadful of what fate has brought forth..

I reside in this void four cornered dismal sheet..

... in search of my LIGHT.

Welcome to my world!

SOMEWHERE I HAVE NEVER TRAVELLED

Just prolonging the tight spot of my subtle demise.

your bits..

my pieces..




SOMEWHERE I HAVE NEVER TRAVELLED
E.E. CUMMINGS
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

KAMPAY!

But the greatest love
–the love above all loves,
Even greater than that of a mother..


Is the tender,
passionate,
undying love,
Of one beer drunken slob for another.




Kampayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hush now



" Still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake
In hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
On his particular time and personal sight.
That calm seems certainly safe to last tonight.... "

Shoutout ng gulay

" Do I need to say that I am stressed - the worst unimaginable case - before you shut up? "


- sigaw ng lantang gulay sa nagrereklamong bumibili.


*** If you think this is funny, this ain't. Imagine yourself the "gulay" and shout that out.

Little scar is SCAR-let, SCARLET is RED

Little scar is a word
Phrase.
Verse.
One which i dare not lay on the pad
One tiny spectacle of the never had.


Little scar is the one that cuts deep
Loom.
Painted in uppercase and lowercase
Swaying numbly now.

Tutal napadaldal na lang din ako, bigla lang dumampi sa malikot kong imahinasyon; Artists are of 2 kinds. MALALIM at MABABAW. Sya yung malalim, ako yung mababaw. Haha! SYa yung type na huhukay at huhukay to get something out of an obra. The problem is, hinukay nya yung ginawa ko not knowing na hindi ko naman ito ibinaon. Natatawa ako, tigilan ko na to!!!

A LAMB PRETENDING TO BE A LION

" Why did you stop?."

" It's a pointless argument. Para akong nakikipag usap sa bata. The problem is, i don't find them cute. [ laughs ] "

" Matapang ka lang kasi hindi mo sila kilala. And may I suggest huwag mo sila kaibiganin. "

" Why? "

" I know these people. They are bunch of prowlers geared up to take advantage of your weakness when there is a chance... and knowing you? hay.. YOU ARE A LAMB PRETENDING TO BE A LION. "

" Ano daw? [ tanga mode ] "

" Stop acting stupid, nakakairita. "

" Hmm. [ <-- i go this way either i agree or i just don't want to argue]

" Si ______, nung sinabihan ka na you were flirting on ym, bakit umiyak ka at tumunganga na lang? Kasi kaibigan mo sya kaya let it pass? Si ______, hindi mo sinisingil kahit hindi ka na kumain kasi ubos na pera mo. Dahil kaibigan mo sya at ayaw mo sya gipitin? Si ______, .... [ interupted ].. "

" Wag na nga yan. Change topic. "

" Ewan ko sayo."

" Lion ako noh! [ ismid ]"

" You wish! [ sarcastic ]"
" Oo, Lion ako.. domesticated nga lang kaya harmless na. "

" Bumili ka ng kausap mo. Tulog na ako. "
" Talo ka. "

The season calls for it, don't blame me. :D

Walang basagan ng trip ngayon PUSO day!
Trip ko to eh, angal ka?!?

NEVER LET HER SLIP AWAY

I talked to my baby on the telephone
Long distance
I never would've guessed
I could miss someone so bad
I really only met her 'bout a week ago
But it doesn't seem to matter to my heart
I know that I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

I feel like a kid with a teenage crush
On a school date
I feel like the lead in "Romeo & Juliet"
I'm a little bit dizzy
I'm a little bit scared
I guess I never felt this much aware
That I'd love her
I'm hoping that I'll never recover
Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

I really only met her 'bout a week ago
But it doesn't seem to matter to my heart
I know that I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

Mmmmmm I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away
Oh I know it's gonna make me happy
To never let her slip away


the season calls for it, don't blame me!

Sinong nasa centerstage? Taas ang kamay!

Naka chat ko si tot kani-kanina lang. We trash-talked about our job and how it became so unbearably boring. I think, pareho kami. We both wanted the same thing; TO EXIT.

Dumating na ba kayo sa punto ng buhay na gusto mo kumawala? Kumawala sa isang sitwasyon, relasyon, sakit, bisyo.. mga bagay na nagpapahirap o nakakasakit sayo. Yet swift as you want it to happen, the longer you are stuck at the mayhem.

Naalala ko yung sinabi ni Tatay dati noong nasa kolehiyo na ako. Gusto ko kasi matuto mag piano, sabi ko, ang tanda ko na para mag enroll pa sa piano lesson. Sabi ni Tatay, " Subuki anak, malay mo yan ang kapalaran mo." (The sarcasm i inherited from him was gradually protruding by then.) Sabi ng magaling na anak, " Ngeks, naniniwala ka sa kapalaran Tay? Eh pag gusto ko hikain kayang kaya ko gawin eh, walang kinalaman ang kapalaran dun (sabay ngisi). " Sagot naman ng dakilang ama, " Bakit may mga tao na pangarap maging doktor, may pera para tustusan ang pag aaral, pero kahit anung pilit ay hindi maging doktor? Dahil anak, hindi nila kapalaran maging doktor. " Hindi na ako umimik. Hindi dahil talo ako, ( Okay nmn yung argumento ko, kahit sang husgado ay apaglaban ko yun.) kundi dahil TAMA sya. TAMA sya kasi hindi ako naging Piyanista kahit gustong gusto ko.. kahit na nag enroll pa ako sa META ng piano lesson na ang mga klasmeyt ko ay pre-schoolers. Hindi ako naging Piyanista.

Kagabi magkausap kami sa text ng friend ko. Nag uusap kami tungkol sa kaibigan namin na dumadaan sa matinding problema ngayon. Sabi nya, tulungan ko daw yung friend namin kasi marami na sya namimiss sa buhay nya. Ito ang reply ko;

"Walang namimiss sa buhay eh. The fact that you had not done something means you're not destined to do it. Just that we cannot be at the centerstage altogether at the same time. May panahon na para sa atin at ngayon ay panahon pa ng iba. Weather weather ba."

Na-realize ko lang bigla, sino baga yung nasa centerstage ngayon na pinaboran ni kapalaran at parang masyado nya naeenjoy yung moment? Anung tagal nya bumaba, madami pa nakapila.

TIME and SPACE? Kalokohan.

qaiqai : Pag lalaki ang humingi ng TIME at SPACE, ibang usapan na yun. Ano ang kailangan nya pag isipan, aber?! Napaka-kitid ng pang unawa. I hate men, nyahahahah!

qaiqai : ISA syang napakalaking ekis. Para syang nagtampo sa bigas. Napaka tanga. :)) =)) simpleng bagay hindi maunawaan. How much more pag mag asawa na sila at mas malaki na ang problems na susuungin nila? I doubt, baka hindi lang time at space ang kailangan nya nun.

f1 : Baka kailanganin na nya ng universe nun, mga 48 na universe.

qaiqai : Cguro nung kumuha si Lord ng tadyang sa lalake para gumawa ng babae, nakuha pati yung part ng cerebral brain. Utak biya kasi. jowk!

***************************************************************
just one of the crazy conversation i had last night with a friend.

FIESTA

Now this is what i call FIESTA!!!


Wala na yatang hihigit sa pangungulila ko, Iba na bang nagbibigay ng mga kailangan mo?

" Kung babalik ka pa hanggang kailan kaya?
Ako dito mag aabang na magdutong na ang patlang
Ang kulang ay mapupunan wala nang makakahadlang
Wala na yatang hihigit sa pangungulila ko
Iba na bang nagbibigay ng mga kailangan mo? "




UP DHARMA DOWN - SANA
Nilibot na ang buong mundo
Di pa rin ako nakukuntento
Makakahanap ng ipapalit
Nang walang babala
Lumipas ay nagbabalik pala

Nalilito na ako hindi na dapat gan’to
Nakaraan ay natapos at napagdaanan na
Bakit na sisindak pa sa t’wing naaalala
Matatauhan na wala ka na pala

Ako sila’y nandito na
Ikaw na lang ang kulang
Anong lunod o lalim ba’t ‘di na lang lumutang
Anong pait ang matamis at aking susubukan
Anong silbi ng narito
‘Di mo na kailangan

Hindi nga nagtagal ang pagpapanggap na ‘to
Kaliwa at kanan harap at likod ano mang anggulo
Titigan ay bumibigay ako

Damdamin ay kay bigat
Naisip na ang lahat
Wala na ba talaga akong magagawa pa

Ako sila’y nandito na
Ikaw na lang ang kulang
Anong lunod o lalim ba’t ‘di na lang lumutang
Anong tamis ang mapait at aking iiwasan
Walang silbi ang narito
‘Di mo na kailangan

Wala na bang makapapantay at di na ba dapat pang maghintay
Ako lang ba ang nagkasala?
Kumakapit sa natitirang sana.

Kung babalik ka pa hanggang kailan kaya?
Ako dito mag aabang na magdutong na ang patlang
Ang kulang ay mapupunan wala nang makakahadlang
Wala na yatang hihigit sa pangungulila ko
Iba na bang nagbibigay ng mga kailangan mo?

Oh sana
Kay higpit ng kapit sa unan kagabi ko
Oh sana
Inaasam muling makatabi at mahalik sana

It rained today


I woke up already consumed with emotions welled up in my chest.

It was raining outside.

Funny how fascinated I was with rain. Funny how i got mesmerized with the spats and splash as droplets rested on that sturdy windowpane where i dragged fast the time of you coming. Funny how i gasped, enthralled in mother nature's most mushy mood and brimmed with so much yearning of you. Funny how the splatter on the tin roof sounded more like your feet chasing mine.

It rained today and found it rather comforting to know that you are forever gone and I will forever embark myself on this longing whenever rain comes .

Reclusion Perpetua

"Dreams are shattered, hopes are battered,

Yet with new status one is flattered!

The irony of it-detention, and all:

Be so small, and stand so tall."



This is how my acuity had brought me so far. Ensnared in ever so boundless chasm of oh so beguiling bedlam.

Him.

Work.

and the breathe in between.

So stuck. :(

Missing my girls

I'm missing my girls.


ate Heidz and Jean

I dunno how these two opposite poles jive with another extremely opposing pole that is me.

Jean is way too straight-forward, outspoken, bold, daring, valiant yet snivels over chessy pick up lines of Basha and Popoy ( One More Chance ) and sniffs sheepishly over telenovelas she frequently browse in youtube. She is a crybaby who will remain steadfastly fastened with the ones she truly care about. She is a devil with a halo who will stand with you through fires yet constantly brighten a gloomy day with her contagious laugh. She is Jean.

Ate heidz is tame, prim, tact, refine, fragile yet vague in matters dealing with emotions. She has the most timid smiles she rarely share and clamor in between giggles and whispers. Nothing in the world is hard to decode than her. Her thoughts run deep as that of Mariana's Trench and her perceptions as vast as the Pacific. In her calmness she wonders vigorously amidst love and hatred while grimace in the innermost. She is a friend and very good in maintaining her job as one. She is ate Heidz.

I miss Jean - the LOUD
I miss ate Heidz - the SILENT

...the half representations of myself.

I miss myself.
That is.

SHE

When love beckons to you, follow her,
though her ways are hard and steep.
And when her wings enfold you, yield to her,
though the sword hidden among her opinions may wound you.
And she speaks to you , believe in her,
though her voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you,
so shall she crucify you.
Even as she for your growth so as she for your pruning.
Even as she ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
so shall she ascends to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
She threshes you to make you naked.
She sifts you to free you from husks.
She grinds you to whiteness.
She kneads you until u are pliant; and then she assigns you to his sacred fire,
that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast...

RE: The Laminin Connection

Here is something I think you and your medical friends might greatly enjoy. This was an article sent thru my mail which brought goosebumps.


A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill, watching a DVD sermon by Louie Giglio...and I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to share what I learned....but I fear not being able to convey it as well as I want. I will share anyway.

He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is...how He spoke the universe into being...how He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls of fire...etc. etc. Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. At this point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know.) .....and I was remembering how I was constantly amazed during medical school as I learned more and more about God's handiwork. I remember so many times thinking....'How can ANYONE deny that a Creator did all of this???'

Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart...how our loving Creator is also our sustainer.

And then I lost my breath And it wasn't because I was running my treadmill, either!!!
It was because he started talking about laminin. I knew about laminin. Here is how wikipedia describes them :'Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue.' You see....laminins are what hold us together....LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn't know is what laminin LOOKED LIKE.

But now I do. And I have thought about it a thousand times since (already)....
Here is what the structure of laminin looks like...AND THIS IS NOT a 'Christian portrayal' of it....if you look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see...
This definition of laminin is from: http://www.fasebj.org/cgi/content/abstract/4/2/148
'Globular and rod like domains are arranged in an extended four-armed, cruciform shape...'

Now tell me that our God is not the coolest!!! Amazing.
The glue that holds us together....ALL of us....is in the shape of the cross.
Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind.

'He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
He is before all things,
and in him all things HOLD TOGETHER. '
Colossians 1:15-17

twelve eleven -Oh!- seven



” I don’t just like you. I love how the oasis sprouts amidst this desert in harmony with your giggles and laughters. Yeah, maybe I love you and until I have figure out the depths of it yet, will you be mine? “

Aw. Sometimes I despise how the forebrain do some playbacks.

:(

Okay ka lang ba?

I hate when people ask, Ok ka lang ba?

A universal question that is either meant to comfort or just plain slip of the tongue.

Irritating actually when someone butt in the words in the middle of my whimper.

Part of my daily boring routine is commuting. I ride the jeepney most of the time and i prefer the seat next to the driver. Gives me the full view of the road ahead. Somehow relaxing as it dangles from cars to cars along edsa which trigger an excruciating thrill in my innercore. I always wanted to drive but chances never favor me and to sit near the steering wheel is more like driving the car myself. Teehee.

The other night on my way home, one bumpy ride that changed my connotation regarding the title, there was this guy who sat with me on that one sitter passenger side. I was about to make faces because I was like a crumpled paper between this guy and the driver when suddenly he turned to me and asked, " Pwede ba makiupo, jan lang naman ako sa Welcome?". Who can say NO?! I mean with those puppy dog eyes?! :)) I nod and give him the cold shoulder while weighing myself as the jeepney sways when overtaking some cars. Out of the blue he said, OK KA LANG BA? Sa isip isip ko, " duh, obvious ba? " but then there came the lines i never expect him to say; " Obviously hindi, pasensya ka na ha? and moved a little farther away. WOW. For most commuters they wouldn't really care at all if uneasy yung passenger na katabi nila given the fact na " PARE-PAREHO NAMAN TAYO NAGBABAYAD AH ". But this guy? w-O-w is all i can say.

He made me figured out that the sincerity of " Ok ka lang ba?" wasn't at the moment you spilled it but at the follow up words.

That'll make the difference.

Ikaw? Ok ka lang ba? :)) =))

Overworked. Underpaid.

When I say " I'm tired ", I dont usually mean my body is exasperated from work. Sometimes being tired is not at all on the physical aspect.. the heart tends to overwork too, you know.


Overworked yet underpaid.

:(

masokista mode

Why did not the mountains fall on me?

Why did not the earth gape and swallow me up?

r a i n d r o p s

Spending hours outside just trying to regroup all of the thoughts that were there before. I found out how many I had sacrificed. We forget things. We forget feelings. We forget memories. Until someone or something comes along and reminds us. Everytime it would rain, no matter what I was doing, or who I was with…I ran. I ran outside and sacrificed myself to every drop. I didn’t realize how long it had been until that day. That day months later, when I ran outside. I was playing dress up, nearly 18 yrs. old, and wanted to be the leaf, the sponge, the blade of grass, the flower, the landing pad for every drop of rain the clouds were willing to part with. I miss those days. I’ve missed so many of those raindrops in the past few months.

If only we could make the time to look for a four leaf clover, turn over a rock to see what’s under it or just lay back on a warm day and look for shapes in the clouds….. but to be a child again and face those teenaged years?. errr…

Then again perhaps the raindrops that I so eloquently speak of are fleeting glimpses of the heaven that is to come, (after we are very old) when we become like children again.

I guess until then we should make the time, watch for rain, and be ready to run outside. Until then…

If the mind forgets, does the heart forget too? Or will the soul remember everything and plant each scene in the heart along with the feelings that ceased to exist when the memory cells die down?

If the soul forgets and the mind deteriorates, will the heart keep all the memories unshattered or flash scenes like the blue sky’s reflection against the cascading waters?

If the heart forgets and the soul is trapped into nothingness, can the mind still define the coexistence of eros and psyche? or are these two destined to exist to be extinct?

How will you keep the fire burning when Zypherus blows its cold sweet kisses amidst the heat of the midday sun?

How does it feel to be totally forgotten and yet be the one who remembers everything? …
