Change rooms in your mind today

I love poetry a lot. Makes me gather some sense when all around me seems so senseless. Today I found one that I would want to internalize. Life has been so tough with me...

and giving upon our intimate assembly

CHANGE ROOMS IN YOUR MIND TODAY!

All hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
in your heart.

Home

There were Saturdays when I really wished I was home. Today my Saturday was another ordinary one, but although I wanted to go home, I thought this time I dreaded to go home.

Ohhh because I really wanted to get away with bills to pay and to face domestic concerns and issues. If not for that one, I wanted to lie down on my bed and have one deep sleep.

snakes and my niece!

I could never never in my wildest dream touch or pose with those snakes! I have done crazy things in my life but not this thing that my niece tried. Arrrggghhhhh!

"habal-habal"

A means of transportation called "habal-habal" in the Philippines. The first time I saw it was when I first visited Mindanao back in 1990s. I got amazed when it would race the hell of the buses and other vehicles in the highway. Great really with the real skillful drivers but with great risks among the passengers.

But they claim the buses have more accidents than they are on the road hhhhhmmmmmmm.

That is a single motorcyle with attached two wooden planks on the side which carries at least 5 passengers each plank. If not humans, they carry sacks of market goodies such as rice, corn har har har.

Really amazing.

Like a cake!

Like a cake from afar! It's where my father lies in peace. Yes, my father is 6 feet under that stone. And I wonder where he is now?

fight cancer

Yesterday I was actually feeling so sick. But I was in front of my computer trying to write something about peace. So sad however that I was not able to write my best.

I hate it when I have the urge of writing and I cannot. And when I am given time to write, I suck. grrrhhh.

I got lost browsing and saw this video. And because when I hear cancer, I do remember my father who died of colon cancer a year ago. Whenever I see our pictures with him so fat beside me, I can't believe how he looked like when he was reduced into a thin piece before his death.

I am trying to be healthy in what I eat but I think a good disposition can be of great help. My father is a serious type that even when he is joking he looks extremely serious. Because he is so very intelligent, he would always think ahead of what others are thinking. Sometimes it is irritating but I saw him turn into that serious type also into getting back into his childhood.

It was a pleasure taking care of him before his death. And I remembered now how it feels to be beside a father when I sleep beside him on his bedside. He would move for me to be comfortable instead of the other way around.

I stand against cancer.
