"Found in Old St. Paul's Church"

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

you took everything
away from me
now i have nothing
more to lose.

i kept holding on,
but you let go.
now i dont know,
will my life go on?

you broke my heart,
my dreams,
now i have no one
to be proud of.

love is like a balloon,
it can go as high as it can,
but it will eventually
come back to earth.

we all have to move on

2005-09-19T08:49:00.000-07:00

love can never be wrong.
you can blame the persons involved,
you can even blame the situation.
but no matter how hard you cry,
no matter who you blame,
if it wasnt meant for you.
then it just wouldnt be.

ever after

2005-09-17T08:49:00.000-07:00

how mesmerizing can a smile get?
you... your smile.
it takes my breath away...
nothing more. nothing less.

i once believed in ever after
with you.
but now, i walk alone...
dreams shattered,
life so gloomy.

now that you're gone,
life is not worth living.
now that you're gone,
happiness is non existent.

how i wish you would come back.
but, all i could do is hope.
while sitted alone,
here in this tiny, moonlit room.

lintik na pagibig

2005-09-17T08:46:00.000-07:00

lintik na pagibig.
parang kidlat.
puso kong tahimik na naghihintay
bigla mong ginulat.

stupified by love

2005-09-17T03:24:00.000-07:00

loving someone deeply is when you smile for no reason at all.

smile at every glance you take to see her pretty face.

the face you dream about every night.

the personality you swore to love beyond words.

its just when you love that you sink deeper beyond reason.

where reasons are more than answers.

wherein reasons are uncertain emotions.

and the right time is always too late...

but still perfect.

forever?

2005-09-17T03:18:00.000-07:00

there is no forever.

forever is just a lie.

the only time we have is from the time we say hello,

until the time we say goodbye.

you cant hang on something special for too long...

it would only hurt more the longer you hold on to it.

we have to do things while we still can,

or else, we will be left wandring why we didnt do it when we had the time.

we shouldnt hold on to anything.

nor anyone...

sometimes... we just have to learn to let go.

random thoughts about life

2005-09-17T03:08:00.000-07:00

"at night i find myself thinking... could i be someone better? someone with a greater drive for excellence? someone, my parents could be proud of? well... i just let the thought go and drown my self to sleep."

its all but a word

2005-09-16T03:59:00.000-07:00

never get into a love when you mean to break a heart.
never look into eyes when you mean to lie.
promises are meant to be kept.
wishes are only meant to be fulfilled.
scars will never heal.
hearts are never meant to be played with.
lies are only meant to hurt.
and "sorry " is NOTHING but a WORD.

its lonely here

in the s p a c e
we've agreed
to grant each other

i feel like
an astronaut
spinning out
of orbit

committing
wishes
to stars

maybe oneday
the gravity of your love
will pull me
back to earth

just a smile

2005-09-14T04:50:00.000-07:00

every time i smile,

i hope you're watching.

not so you'll see me happy.

but maybe,

just maybe....

you'll fall for my smile,

as hard as i fell for yours.

wait a minute.
