Camouflage - Beach Girl Baby

When the waves allow you to drift farther, like my thoughts drifting far far away

'twas a momentous, almost romantic feeling i am yet to look forward to

and no! im not in a hurry to end this dream-like almost surreal feelings of happiness

because when u came into my life - reality is no longer reality

but it became an unburstable bubble that i will not wish to disappear

for the rose clipped in my breast pocket is just simply an adornment

not to make my vanity in the summer days or the winds of Amihan tis December

but to look forward that in all the four seasons of loneliness i have endured

for the longest time, will be an everlasting days of spring festivities 

that i shall bury in my grave.

lovelots,

'tis the season to get fat and beef up those already fatty fats. Nyahahahaha!

I once learned that laughing at fat people in the gym is like laughing at someone in the hospital with cancer.

That was my friend sharing to me the learning experience...

So in retrospect while driving, i asked him... so what's the difference between the fat person and the one with cancer?

He said..."the fat person goes to gym to get fit and sees results through consistency, while the one with cancer is in the hospital to get cured, along with a hope in mind, a hope that someday his illness will be gone."

Ako'y Iyong Hinirang, Isang Tula Para sa Pasalamat 2019

Ako'y Iyong Hinirang
guestpost by Lanz Aidan

Ama na aming Diyos, purihin ka!
Sapagka't isang taon muling iningatan,
Isang taong muling kami'y pinagpala,
Na hanggang ngayo'y iyong hinirang.

Ngayon ay nagdiriwang ang iyong bayan!
Umaawit kami ng papuri mula sa aming puso
Nang ika'y mabigyan ng ibayong kagalakan!
Kami'y mananatiling tapat sa piling mo.

Sa iyo kami ay nagsusumamo, Ama, dinggin mo.
Hirap at hinagpis ay iyak ng sanlibutan
Ngunit, kami'y patuloy na tinulungan mo,
Kami'y pinagpapala sa kabila ng kahirapan.

Salamat, Ama, hindi mo kami itinatakwil
Sa kabila ng aming maraming pagkakasala at karumihan.
Sa iyong pagpapahinuhod, hindi ka tumitigil,
Banayad mong nililinis kami sa aming kasalanan.

Ama, kailanman ay hindi kami naging dapat sa iyo,
Sa iyong pagmamahal na dalisay,
Ngunit kami'y minarapat mo.
Aming buhay nagkaroon kabuluhan at saysay.

Ama, muli mong ingatan ang iyong mga anak.
Tulad ng aming inawit, muli kaming maglalakbay.
Ama, iyong masdan aming mga yapak,
Nang aming marating ang inaasam naming tagumpay.

Ang tahanang inihahanda mo sa amin,
Na aming pinaka inaasam marating,
Ito ay tagumpay sa amin,
Sa Bayan Banal ikaw ay aming makapiling.

Epigrams from The Picture of Dorian Gray (Part 3)

This is my 3rd installment capturing the epigrams and thought-provoking passages from Lord Henry and Basil Hallward from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Read on and have a great delicious treat. I had this categorized for two characters - Lord Henry and Basil Hallward.

CHAPTER 1

Lord Henry's:

"For there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about"

"But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face"

"But then in the Church they don't think. A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say when he was a boy of eighteen, and as a natural consequence he always looks absolutely delightful"

"He is some brainless, beautiful creature, who should be always here in winter when we have no flowers to look at, and always here in summer when we want something to chill our intelligence"

"The one charm of marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties."

"Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose i know"

"Ï want you to explain to me why you won't exhibit Dorian Gray's picture. I want the real reason."

"And as for believing things, i can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible"

"Consience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil. Consience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all."

"Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one"

"I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects"

"A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies. I have not got one who is a fool. They are all men of some intellectual power, and consequently they all appreciate me.

"The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it.

"The probabilities are that the more insincere the main idea is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices."

"I like persons better thanks principles, and i like persons with no principles better thanks anything else in the worlds"

"It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue"

"It is a sad thing to think of, but Genius lasts longer thanks Beauty"

"The worst of having a romance of any kind is that, it leaves one so unromantic"

"Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies"

Basil Hallward's:

"there is fatality about all physical and intellectual distinction, the sort of fatality that seems to dog through history the faltering steps of kings"

"It is better not to be different from one's fellows. The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play."

"Ïf they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live, undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquite."

"If I like people immensely, i never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy"

"Secrecy... It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us."

"The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it"

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion."

"It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the colured canvas, reveals himself."

"The reason i will not exhibit this picture is that i am afraid that i have shown in it the secret of my own soul"

"Ï have given away my whole soul to someone who treats it as if it were a flower to put on his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer's day"

If you've enjoyed this from Chapter 1, go ahead and continue the epigrams from my first installment by clicking this link.

Until next time.
