More than words can say




All I thought was, you will never come into my life
I seek you from within the recesses of my supplications
It was a long time, that I have waited
The days have  pained me,
Until, one day..
I was at my happiest

 
I don't know how to fathom this feelings
That you make me alive every time you get in touch
Those moments are just so treasured
That may it last as long as we're alive


Each day, each time the second hand moves
We know the time's getting nearer
To have our eyes locked into each other
Through gazing power of the window of the soul
Will finally crawl into our whole

Passion and hope and love, that someday we'll be together

The Departure 2011






It has always been a fact that saying goodbye is at it's its hardest when it seems that a piece of you is going to be left behind.

Saying farewell is one of the most agonizing feeling, that spur of the moment when you have to depart, one must go, the other must let go.

I have observed that even the most stoney-hearted person could succumb to a meltdown. And when that time comes, everything's gonna be alright kind-of-feeling slowly envelopes into a no-drama picturesque.

When a door is closed, a window shall be opened.

How to close an iOS app forcefully?


At times, some apps in the iOS platform are pesky especially when the app suddenly hangs and it wouldn't just simply close despite pressing the home button or even launching the app switcher to manually close it.

I'm talking about iDevices here that runs on the iOS 4.0 & up, which has a default switcher (that can be activated by double clicking the home button.

launching the app switcher thru double clicking the home button




On these occasions, there is a dire need to end the task of that tangled app from the iPhone's memory. To do this, open the app in question then hold down the lock button until you get to see the "slide to power off" prompt. Upon seeing it, hold down the home button until the app finally closes and it should bring you to your homescreen.

  • opening the app in question, then pressing the lock button for 10 seconds


The trick might've been known to you all along but i think it best to still share it.

Dahon ng Hangin

This is my 3rd post of poems in lieu to the Language Month in the Philippines. I've been trying to relive the wonder of the Filipino language, trying to muster once again the native tongue, to give due to what has been learnt, to hide in euphemisms and ironies of the everyday challenges of our journey.




DAHON NG HANGIN

Ang sinag ng araw ay dumungaw
sa gitna ng ngiti ng alapaap
ang kadiliman ay nalusaw
naparam at ito'y nawasak


Ang samyo ng hangin ay kay sarap
parang tubig animo'y kay lamig
nanunuot sa buto at pag-iisip
tumitighaw sa uhaw na pagkainip


Ang langit ay kay liwanag
sinsigla, parang isang marilag
hatid ay liliw ng pag-asa
niyaong pusong galing sa pakikibaka

Pananalig

The beauty of mankind's collective thinking is its awesomeness to divert hopelessness into faith.  A midst the chaos and the spiraling downturn of economy and the lingering problems that continue to plague the human species, some of us bear the beacon of hope, of love and of faith.


Here's my take when it comes to faith.









PANANALIG




iidlip mo kahit 'sang saglit
ang pagal mong binti'y ipahinga
mga alalahani'y iyong iwaglit
na dulot ng 'yong mga pagluha






sabik ka ba sa kapahingahan?
na 'yong madama ang walang hanggan
niyaong pag-asa'y iyong makamtan
sa kapayapaang tuluyan






manalig ka sa mga di pa nagaganap
iyong ituon ang paningin sa mga pangarap
mga di nakikita'y iyong pagmasdan
darating ang panahong ito'y 'yong makamtan
