A Long Break

A Long Break

Greetings to everyone who might read this. Yes, I'm updating my blog again and no, I still don't have a poem to post. I'm not inspired anymore so I won't post poems for a long time.

I've been internet-less for a long time because of the typhoon Milenyo. But I'd like to thank her for giving me a new appreciation for lights, and for leaving. Thanks a lot for wasting a week of my life you darn typhoon!!! Ahem... Anywayz, because of that reason, I have a long entry today.

I said before in my past post that I was planning to make an online sketchpad. Well, I decided to forget it because of two reasons.
1. I was planning on using multiply to post my pictures. However, it seems like multiply automatically delete old posts. Of course, I'm not certain but I don't want to take any chances since it's a big waste of time.
2. I'm too lazy to look for other image hosting sites. Also, like I said in my reason number 1, it's too much of a hassle (okay, so I didn't say that. But that's what I'm implying).

Anyway, after reaching DL (no, not the Robert kind) status, my father seemed to expect more from me. He wanted me to reach Cum Laude (or something like that). Judging by my first Eco test, It'll be very hard (I was pawned). But I'm not giving up.

Deryk, my brother, is currently abroad training. He's very busy but still manages to keep contact of us (our family) and play shinobilegends. Keep it up xp.

I also went to stay overnight in Zar's house because of our two group projects (PE and Eco). Before, I thought it would be very troublesome. But now, I'll say it has been quite fun. Like always, we didn't pursue work before pleasure (Computer games). Nice... We also watched Battle Royale, a movie. It was so cool especially the microphone part. Scream!!! Lolz. We also managed to uncover Zar's few secrets. Like the secret of "his cousin". Riiiight~ And Kuro-chan! Lolz. Next morning, it was Julian and Chris' turn to be pawned. The overnight ended with me having a TRIPLE KILL! Hahah

Enough of that... Recently, I saw a thread in the forums I go to. It's about someone complaining about his stupid little brother. Welcome to my life, dude. I've thought many times about creating an entry about that but stopped myself a lot of times. Creating a list of my little brother's actions caused by stupidity and his illogical words will be a very long list.

Actually, that's not what really stopped me. What was scary was the idea that I might have once been like that. Everytime he does something so stupid that I want to beat him up for it, I get more unsure of myself. "Was I once like that?", I think to myself.

I'm supposed to have more to post. But I forgot what they are. Oh well, I guess that's it for now. Catch ya later ^^

Voiceless Once Again

Voiceless Once Again

I decided not to post any poems today, especially since I've run out of them. Maybe next time...

As I have predicted yesterday (see post below), I'm now officially voiceless. I'm so good in predicting. So good that I hate myself for being right.

Anywayz, after checking my notebook and non-existent schedule, I realized that we have some assignments on Monday.

1. Intreco- Read something...
2. Intfilo- Read Socrates and the cave thingy.
3. Fwsport- Not exactly for Monday, but what the heck...
4. Filkomu- Bring stuffs.
5. Basconc- Read Chapter 1 (For Mth-cap students only)
6. Math113- Better start studying...

Since I've just updated the blog yesterday, the update today will be short. In other words, that's it for now. Catch ya later ^^

A Thousand Masks

Time to continue my blog again...
But first, let's start off with an opening poem.

A Thousand Masks

I hide behind a thousand masks
Because I don't want you to know.
The fragile and lonely me inside,
I am afraid to show.
I may act fine,
Calm as I may be.
But these masks can never show
The one and only me.

If only there could be someone
To love me as I am.
For though I seem to need no one,
Inside, I'm all alone.
If I can drop all lies,
even if I get left behind.
As long as you can accept me,
I can remove these masks of mine.

One who doesn't need a plastic smile,
To lock away all tears.
One who isn't afraid at all
To admit all his fears.
To just release all insecurities
And cry whenever sad,
And still manage to have a genuine smile,
to laugh with whenever glad.

I may have a thousand masks,
Masks to hide behind.
I want you to see the real me,
The one crying inside.

Okay, so I just made this poem a while ago during CWTS. What!? I was bored!

Ahem, as some of you may know, I am very ill right now (sick just isn't the word). I predict I will have a fever tomorrow and probably lose my voice until Monday. A cause for celebration for my friends...

Anyway, this illness made me realize something important. "Don't worry. No matter how tough life gets, someone else has it worse," (or something like that). That's how people comfort themselves or others whenever they're having a hard time.

I hadn't been able to sleep well last night. I kept on coughing and coughing. It was very difficult and I envied my little brother, who was snoring loudly beside me. Later on, although I'm not sure if I fell asleep or not, my senses came back and I decided to take some medicine in the bathroom. after walking inside and turning on the light, I caught a glimpse of the time, which was exactly 3:00 (the time when Emily was possessed in the show, Exorcism of Emily Rose). Not that it came to my mind back then, I just wanted to share it to you.

Anyway, going back to the topic, when our maid woke me up on 7:20 am, I felt worse than ever. I then remembered the saying about someone having it worse than I do. I didn't like that feeling. I just felt then that I wish I was the only person suffering that much. If I was in so much pain, I just can't imagine being happy because someone else is suffering more. It wasn't right.

The lesson I want to share to the people reading this blog of mine, including myself, is that whenever you're having a difficult time, hope that no one else is suffering as much or more than you are instead of wishing for the contrary.

I'm getting tired. That's it for now. Catch ya later! ^^

Again, I'm Alone

Although I just recently updated my blog, I decided I would update it once again. Let's start off with an opening poem...

Again, I'm Alone

Again, I'm alone
voices of my peers echoes
once shattered the stone
emptying my heart of woes.

Maybe this is the way
things are meant to be
in a place far away
where I could be free.

Freedom I've sought
didn't seem the same
not as I have thought
this can make me insane.

Memories echoes
voices in my heart.
Again, I'm alone
as I've fallen apart.

This was a poem I made before the poem "It started with a lie". Unlike the other poem, this poem has a more abstract meaning. Don't bother even interpreting it. It is mine to understand alone...

Anyway, as I've told some people, I like writing stories. I'm here now to discuss the background of the stories.

Y.M.M.
An unexpected event changes the life of a young high school student. A love bound by their classes. A secret hidden from the rest.

**This has been very difficult for me to write. Especially since I'm typing it. I've stopped continuing the story for a long time and who knows when I'll continue it. Abandoning and trashing the story seems to be a waste because it took me a lot of time to create this story. Anyway, the plot has been very difficult for me to continue since I got stuck numerous times. But I've already decided on the ending. The hard part is connecting the current story to the ending. Anybody aside from me will probably not understand what I mean. Oh well...

Yuki no Kisetsu
An abandoned child... A father's parting gift...

**So far, I've only done one chapter of this story. The title means "Snow Season". Why? Because snow represents sorrow and serenity which basically are the theme of the story. Also, because I like that title. In fact, that title once belonged to an abandoned story of mine. I abandoned it because although the plot is great, it was very difficult to put the story into words... In other words, I'm giving up.

Oh, going to another topic, I've been thinking about making an online sketchpad where I can post my drawings from the past until now. I know my drawings from the past are funny, but I like the way I improved as time passed. Now, I'm proud of my drawings...

Okay, that's it for now. Catch ya later ^^

Second Term

Second Term

Time seemed to move by quickly. Before I knew it, second term is right on our toes (did that come out right?).

Ahem! Anywayz, after the first term, I surprisingly acquired DL status (surprisingly...?). Also, a blockmate of mine, chi*cough*nese ch*cough*ick mag*cough*net, treated some of us to play DOTA because he passed Trigo. Everything seemed to be going right. However, that time, I seemed to be waiting for the axe to fall. Something didn't seem quite right. Anyway, I passed that feeling already so I don't care anymore.

Like I was saying, or in this case typing, second term is already near. My brother is done with his studies and is already preparing for his job. Whether he already got it or will get it or not is beyond my knowledge (ignorance is bliss).

Oh yeah, my blockmates were planning a block outing today at Star City (don't ask me why there). However, because of rains (I almost said heavy rains), the outing was cancelled. I knew we should have planned on going to Mall of Asia. Oh well, that's that.

Oh, and another thing. You (if anybody's reading this stuff) probably noticed my new tagboard down there somewhere. *If you did notice it, please pick it up and return it to me. Thank you for your cooperation*. Ahem, enough of that. As I was planning to say, I'm thinking of placing a quote collection there. I already added several quotes. Some from me and some from Mr. youdontcarewho orifyoudotoughluck. I'm not stopping you from posting there though...

Oh well, that's it for now... Catch ya later ^^
