Abounding in front of my eyes

Love, faith and hope.

Thank you God in eternity.

Toss Back from the Past

Blindingly hot

Humidity so high it could boil an egg

The wind that caresses my face seems like 

putting your skin so close to a furnace. 

You could feel the burning and tingling sensation..

(Thanksgiving July 17 2010)

Unwavering

Thoughts flowing even before it gets imagined

Aplomb - without doubt

Unceasing plea for mercy bestowed

Within reach - never depart

Askance no more, hope surging - like a light coming out from darkness

Stunned - for the promise is at hand

Exacting the debris of shattered hopes

Compacting in to a unison of greater faith

As I await...

As I await...

For love blankets the memories of the past and brings sustenance to what is yet to come.

Thank You, dear God.

I'll Carry You Homebound

Sublime...

Eyes of emeralds

Alabaster skin

Contentment spreads like the waves that never stop rolling 

on the shore

To nevermore...

Letters to Eleanor

I have no life but this, 

to lead it here;

nor any death, but lest

dispelled from there

Nor tie to earths to come,

Nor action new,

except through this extent,

the realm of you

(excerpts from ms dickinson's)

Operational walls can be inverse

It's gone, your smiles unfading, like the pristine laughter of the children

Untamed, you are now, uncaring to every happening, like strangers again

Cold, you are now, no warmth, no passion, slowly vanishing the fire

Friends only, seemed the theme now, emptiness creeping 

Acceptance, impending, breaking bones, crushing hearts to nothingness

It's gone, you are now

It's goodbye, looming

Remembereth, things in the distant past.

TIL YikYakking

So, it's a Monday! A time to blast and enjoy again the remaining days of August 2014. If you've noticed, this month's overall aura is unusually amazing. It reminds us to observe YOLO, that for the  geeky part of you, life's too short to eject a USB drive safely!!!

Hoping you got this covered, enjoy your Monday and let's talk later folks.

It's raining a handful in the skyway, and drizzling over in C5; indeed, the selective downpour is amazing.

Late Post: thoughts of consistency

I admit, I have been negligent with my blog for a while. I'm sorry for not keeping this updated in a manner where it can contain at least from my vantage point - the expectations that I needed to share.

I will try but I will not promise, for me to regularly update this blog, and post images as deemed appropriate. And yet, I shall not account you to long for more. 

Start your own too, the field of writing is a work in progress that never stops. It's a field where you can benefit not only in moments of solitude but a channel to know thyself everyday.

As you write, forget the worries, and focus on the passion, to convey your emotions, veil it, through the power of words; show it through the power of words. Until then, you're still in command.

Triumphs Over and Over Again

descant - the ears dread for it to stop
like the the syncing of the intertwines
where it craves to go on, a little bit more
encompassing bliss, as if it can be forever


anticipation - the mind wished to halt it
as the bearer of light, it somehow tires
melting like a candle, flickering
then it goes black, as if darkness is for real


poetry - it tickles, it's arresting
a smile imprinted, upon deciphering
the meaning of the written piece
mystery undone, as if thy can relate


grace - developed upon the conception
of sin
a neverwhere, a pointless origin
the harbinger of hope
no matter what, as if the end is near.

Love letters for Eleanor

Baby Elea...

You're the one

I shall treasure

Until the end

When the last breath

Of mine

Shall be done

Of Gifts from Eleanor

Thanks is all I've got

Smiles I can re flash

You're such an awesome giver

Of ur untiring care

I love thee, forever

(Lifted from a midnight snack with KADIWA pamunuan)

Stages

Dreamless sleeps

Wandering mind

Broken rests

Un steadied slumbers

Yearning thoughts

Unmatched resolve 

Flickering hope

Realities checked

Flowing laughters

Impeccable deeds

Smiles unfading

Serenity achieved

Love letters for Eleanor

'Twas the changing of the seasons

When our eyes locked for the first time

A transition of August bridging the 'ber' months that're approaching

I don't know if it was coincidental - 

That when our paths have crossed,

'Twas also the time when the caress of the wind brought some intimate chill

The time when…

The coolness of the earth is at its best

The time when…

The emptiness of my heart seem to vanish

The time when…

All I felt was meeting you with excitement

At first i thought it'd all go away

The feelings of longing

For you to be around my sight

Every minute, every second, everytime

But I guess I was wrong 

For I can't dictate, the spirit of the heart

TIL Heart's Nature

Somewhere in the chapters of the Old Testament, it conveys that the Heart is deceitful in nature and desperately wicked.

Since the dawn of civilization, the first humans have been inclined to go against the will or the rule of the land. In reflection to the present times today, where murders, wars, famine, crime and the escalations of horrendous activities of mankind, it equates to the fact that human being is innate to profess a negative aura toward behaviors. It's as if doing wrong is the normal expectations.

Is there a chance for mankind to be directed in the right path? To gain a frame of mind in piloting the newness of life?

I knew what you did last summer

Swimming somewhere in Batangas Philippines...

I knew what u did last summer...

Eleventh of May, 2014

Tapestries, unadorned, suddenly
reminiscent
Of the unsaid, things
the mind can't measure...




When the sails come to halt,
leaving breathless gasps
from the gales of the unknown ...
where,
only two hearts can imagine.

Hush Puppies

Drumbeats whenever I'm wearing some of these:

Toothpaste

My almost done paste...

Now switching to my first ...

Uhm, the latter is somewhat intoxicating - it's making me fall asleep esp if I used it prior to my sleep during the day.

Go figure why am I saying these. I'm not advertising - experience it. Just like the vanilla soap I blogged before.

Slowly Now...

Things I learned today, some have been experienced all along but it's sweet to know and to get a rush of reminder from people, especially those persons you've learned to trust.

- I feel you

- momentum sustenance and the law of diminishing effect

Sa Tren Ng Isang Araw

Madilim ang kalangitan habang ang trapiko'y abala sa pagbuga ng usok ng mga sasakyan

Ang barya kong dala'y kulang ng 'sang piso upang ako'y makapag bus pauwi

Ang ngiting sumilay sa 'yong mga labi'y nag silbing alaala sa akin

Upang minsan pa'y aking gunitain kita sa piling ng mga panaginip

Nostalgia

Nostalgia - it's delicate, but potent.

A Greek word that means, a pain from an old wound. A twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone

Tea and Talk

Just posting this to acknowledge Nathan's thoughtfulness - my boss.

I'm a fan of tea. My brand's Lipton, nothing expensive or extraordinary but I so appreciate these:

I remember Jed giving me some white teas of Thwinings from London.. I lost them though in the office, good thing I get to try one.

Carry on and be the Light

It was like any ordinary day 

The leaves falling

Bustling traffic

& the sunlight shines brightly

Tanning thy skin

Thy furs bristled with excitement 

Slowly, enduringly 

Transforming into something divine

Thou art barely could walk

Rescue came - willingly

And yet

Thou art a beast

It was like any other mornings

Cup of coffee on one hand

A cellphone on the other

Thy computer screen

staring at thy face

Solemnly, with reverence

Thy head went mint blue

Serenely, satisfactory 

Rotting like the earth

Worm inside thy womb

Bees coming out from thy mouth

As a bittersweet sham

Thou Art a beast...

YouTube Capture App

Did you know that the YouTube iOS app cannot upload videos? 

It was a serendipitous moment when I was trying to upload the video of Zhander Cayabyab using my macdeuz.blogspot.com blog. 'Twas at that time that I began to realize that the YouTube app is only for viewing, sharing and liking - nonetheless.

And so I launched Safari for me to do the manual upload (because my laptop is out of reached) as I'm desperate to get my video capture pushed online. While I signed in to my YouTube account via google, it routed me to download CAPTURE.

It's simple, a minimalist app, ready to go with the option of trimming and adding sound clips using your library. Pretty much acceptable and awesome considering its infancy.

Way to go, Google. Get the app from AppStore...  I'm sure you'll love it!

Of Gratitude in Learning: Power Mac Center - Authorized Apple ServiceProvider

Note: thoughts and journalistic views below are solely from the opinions of the author and in no way related to his affiliation of groups, companies or sects he belong to.

Shiela Marie Flores and Juan Alden Diaz are two great minds and personalities interwoven to each other in delivering an awesome training for us via POWER MAC Center's learning and development department.

Just a segway, it never crossed my mind that Power MAC center, a certified retailer company for Apple Products in the Philippines has also caught up in the field of Learning & Development by giving solutions and service for seminars, trainings and certifications. I was only thinking that they are solely on retail business with awhole plethora of POWER MAC Showroom in the different malls of the country - and I was wrong. Indeed they have extended their reach to the different facets of Apple industry where Apple is out of domain in the Phillippines as of this writing.

Going back to Shiela and Alden, their tandem is one inexplicable rush of pure learning and expertise when it comes to OS X Basics, Troubleshooting and getting a person switch from Windows to MAC. The training was enjoyable with the hands-on  experience on macbooks, airs, and the live laboratory in handling and resolving conflicts or issues about MAC, both OS and Hardware.

I take this opportunity to thank them, to express my sincerest gratitude in them showing their expertise as well as passing it thru to my/our minds as learners of the trade. It was proven once again, that as you pass your wisdom passionately, you get to share not only your intelligence but the fibers of passion as well.

Kudos to Sheila and Alden for the well-executed skills in Mavericks Troubleshooting.

Here's the facebook page for POWER MAC Center.

Magic Thoughts From Afar

Simplify my thoughts, oh dear sleep

Untangle my worries & bring me closer

To your embrace, envelope me tight with your arms 

Make me stop counting sheeps

But allow me to meet your eyes

Until then, when I get to rest

Cover me with your blackness

For after a day's chase, I want to stop

But then, you won't let me

So now, I've got to ask

Will you marry me?

~macdeuz (lifted from my thoughts while in bed)

Snow White & the Polar Vortex

Your smell, teases me, to a greater bliss
as i moved, closer, to you and hear
your murmur, your breath takes away
my sorrows and obliterates my fears
for you are so addicting, removing,
my inhibitions, with your touch,
so gentle, that tickles, and assures me
that you are here, by my side.
Idle and beautifully handsome,
as nature describes it, that you,
are gorgeous, ravishing, radiating
with so much love

That i wish to fill in, further, deeper
until we reach, the highest, and the greatest
throes of passions, that no one has ever
experienced.

And then, slowly, gracefully, i fell,
into slumber, and was awakened
by your kiss...
so gentle... it became, afterwards,
so passionate...
so passionate... that i never wanted
you to stop.

And then, we danced. And then we held
each other for a while.
Naked, undisturbed, 'twas as if
the stars are our audience
in the serenity of the waves...
below, the moonlit facade, of the blackness
of the earth.



-macdeuz (lifted from my thoughts, restless & true)

dedicated to you - my awesomeness!

Brightness

Illumination; I am a candle

Brightly shining in the dark; weeping and restless

Containing the heat; enduring further the light

My wick seem to prove its purpose; eclipsing a diminish

As I radiate my light so earnestly; My body wears, ageing, melting

Light I give so profusely; Given freely with nothing in return

Welcoming the clear path; while my strength still lasts

Text of Intensity 7

This was saved in my blogger drafts, i was to publish it back in 2012. And i guess, it's time to get this out. It was all in the past. Afterall, the names involved with Billy are left unsaid. And so the story goes...




I don't know how to explain this... this text message that i received recently...
so i didn't reply at all...

Of Gratitude 2014

There are things in life that are spontaneous. Gratitude and thoughts of gratefulness come in those moments when you receive gifts or when something's shared to you, especially unexpected ones.


Thanks to Arvin for the toolbox:

I'm grateful to Miks who shared this book:

and to JV who took the time and effort in sharing his chocolate products (may your business further flourish):

If Walls (stranger, elusive you are)

I felt the tear drop

Telling me of the unsaid things

It's the un named sadness where sadness doesn’t belong,

Nor happiness can identify.

It's the grey thin line between the two

That neither can scope

I call not emptiness

Somewhere deeper, but not deep enough

I call not even boredom

Somewhere shallower but not close enough

I can't place it in words

It comes when everything is so still

It comes when the music of the past played

Suddenly bringing flashes of longing

But nowhere nor no one to long to

It's strange...

If only these walls can talk

They'd know what I'm telling you

But in words it can never paint the picture

Probably, sometime soon

It will come to me

Afterall, it's a journey to discover

~ macdeuz (lifted from my OneNote)

a dedication to someone beyond compare.
