When you drop a glass or a plate to the ground it makes a loud crashing sound. When a window shatters a table leg breaks or when a picture falls off the wall it makes a noise. But as for your heart when that breaks it s completely silent.

"St. Augustine said, "An unjust law is no law at all." Which means I have a right, even a duty to resist. With violence or civil disobedience. You should pray I choose the latter."

one song keeps me going

it's been awhile since the last time i post here, and i missed writing to myself. school is very demanding, there's tons of work! i definitely missed the weekends : (

whenever i'm depressed, thoughts of coffee talk calm me. latte & carrot cake, mango tart, mango crepe. sigh!

"Leadership springs from within. It's about who I am as much as what I do."

this sums up what i learned from class today. oh, i really love going to school. amidst the assignments and paper works, nothing beats continuous learning. didn't i mention that in my previous blog already? talk about stressing a point.

after i survive this term, i might take 2 subjects next term. let's see.

i receive a mostly meet rating in my job evaluation for last year's performance. i felt i exceeded expectations though.

i'm not a fan of the "ber" season

although i've read the book and watched the movie, watching it again still makes me cry.

no amount of good doing could compensate the pain he caused his friend. there is a way to be good again, but i think it's too late.

a wilderness explorer is a friend to all, be it bird or fish or tiny mole!

what a desolate place would be a world without a flower

just happy that in few weeks time, i will be back to school. although i fear the idea of studying, assignments, exams and research -- nothing beats continuous learning!

i'm going back to school again. yipee!

by ninoy aquino for cory aquino

i have fallen in love with the same woman three times
in a day spanning 19 years of tearful joys and joyful tears.

i loved her first when she was young,
enhanting and vibrant, eternally new
she was brilliant, fragrant,
and cool as the morning dew.

i fell in love with her the second time
when fist she bore her child and mine
always by my side, the source of strength,
helping to turn the tide.

But there were candles to burn
the world was my concern
while our home was her domain
and the people were mine
while the children were hers to maintain.

So it was in those eighteen years and a day
'till i was detained, forced in prison to stay

suddenly she's our sole support
source of comfort,
our wellspring of Hope
on her shoulders felt burden of Life.

i fell in love again,
with the same woman the third time.
Looming from the battle,
her courage will never fade.

Amidst the hardships she has remained,
undaunted and unafraid
she is calm and composed,
she is God's lovely maid.

do you expect me to plan? naye, i will not wait for long anymore.
