fragments

...
Fragments of thoughts
Shattered pieces
Yet in confusing unity
Is in essence something beautiful
You know not why
You know not how
But you believe
Someone is waiting
For me

Loneliness was just a phase
A state of mind
but it was there
I remained firm
I believed in something greater

To care so deep…
to feel so much …
to love…
a face unknown
once a mystery kept
in the boundaries of heaven

I need not listen to the music alone.

Loving
Loving that someone
But for reasons greater,
the Satellite refuses
the Satellite controls

the paths intercepted
only to fork once again
but with Divinity
in all its glory
the Face is revealed
I look up
The sun’s warmth
Showers on my face
And the cool night
No longer embraces my flesh

I look ahead
I see the horizon
I look beyond
In the Satellite
In Him
In love
In You
I believe

i once made this for diana's wedding...
=)
but someone has given the poem its essence and meaning...
you know that lightness in your chest that you get each time you see him... or that sweet twist in your stomach you get at just the thought of seeing him... or when he's not at his best but you just feel your heart leap each time you hear from him or think of him... it's that feeling of making you want to cry coz you've been a cynic of love stories and fairytales for so long and could never imagine it happening to you...
well... it has happened... it's not a fairytale... but it's by far better than a fairytale...
yes, folks... i'm genuinely happy... happy is an understatement even... =)
for a writer... i can't even find the right words to say it... as no words can bring justice to whatever it is i'm feeling right now...
the poem says it all... =)

he's the reason how i'm loving the disgusting streets of Male... =)

new year.. new experiences.. on an island far far away.. =)

********************************
welcome 2009!!!
=)

welcoming the new year.. on the little terrace of the building we call home..
=)

this is how Male looks like on New Year's eve..

no ornaments.. no firecrackers.. no holiday lights..

happy new year, everyone..

.

with Vivi at Nalahiya resto..

.

New Year's dinner with colleagues.. Nalahiya..

*******

this seems to be quite a promising year for me.. being in a new place.. and the Maldives at that.. kewl, eh? =)

vivien and i had a New Year's dinner with two of our bosses and several Filipino colleagues at Nalahiya resto.. it's a hotel here in Male.. we didn't wait for midnight there.. we only stayed until 10 that evening.. then we went to the flat we call home and welcomed 2009 from the silent terrace of our building..
=)
hmmm... and as each new years go.. i have some resolutions prepared..

***

1. be thankful and not spiteful.. if anyone has anything -- ANYTHING at all -- bad to say about me.. i'll juz turn the other direction and start counting my blessings.. and always end with saying.. "basta gwapa lang gihapon.. payts na.." lolz.

2. give, give, give.. alot of people has helped me get through the past years.. i believe this year is my turn to give back.. either i pay it forward.. or i return the favor.. doesn't matter.. as long as i give back something to the world who has been so kind to me. =)

3. save, save, save.. this one is prolly on my list each year.. =P

4. no guy commitments for a year.. or any pseudo-relationships for that matter.. no more dramas.. hahaha. seriously though, i want to concentrate more on self improvement now.. i think i've done enough self-destruction for the past couple of years.. hmmm.. hahaha.

.

5. nurture healthy relationships with people who matter.
