the magic hour

the colors changes... as fast as the wind blows.




Shooting the Clouds

this is one thing that i noticed here in Middle East.
the sky is always sooo wide open. i seldom see clouds. as if we dont have roof and that the force from the universe can always absorb our power... no sheilds from illegal aliens!!!

but now, they're back :)
few and not thick... but still... there are some!



Sand Storm + Rain = +*)$%#$%_+^^

yesterday... it rained.
after 10 months, i felt the cold drop of water from up above.
not that much, though...
but the thought - counts :)

this is the beginning of the winter in the middle east...
no snow, but sand storm...
dust all over...

some people were disgusted with all the sand covering their cars...
which was followed by rain drops...
equals mud :)
they all needed to clean their cars early in the morning, before going to office,
or queued in the emarat station for car wash.

some were disappointed after seeing their newly washed clothes hanged with dirt...
and needed to wash everything again.

there was a heavy traffic on the main road.
some of our colleagues spent 3 hours to reach office...

it was sunday morning.
beginning of the week...
a not - so - good to start!!!
stressed all around!

but this is the reality.
and we only have two choices from this situation...

never forget:
that weather "officially" kick off summer & "launch" winter :)

i finally see clouds again...
PS. this blog was suggested by kickers...

how long is forever



can this word really means a lifetime?
or rather, is there really a word such forever?

you promised to be there, till the end of time...
yet you were not there at any time.

forever has been an abused word for broken promises...
people swore... telling that they will be together, forever.
that nothing can change... no one can keep them apart.
words that deceive others... but gives hope to some.

love and forever are partners.
they bind each other.
what if the bond was broken & forever fades?
how can love continues to journey without a trace?

never think someone will be there forever...
forever is a long time & time has a way of changing things.

sometimes, the littlest thing in life changes something...
& there will be times when you wish you can go back to how things used to be...
but you just cant because things have changed so much...

and this isnt good or bad... only the way of things.
nothing stays the same... and so thus forever wont remain.

Two Choices

You always have two choices to react on a certain situation: the positive & negative reaction. - I've learned that since i was in grade 5, after i read the book "The Power of Positive Thinking." and it helped me a lot... i became a positive thinker! yes, i am - 85% positive and 15% negative. i am optimistic... and when the 15% becomes stronger than the 85%, i quickly switched my gears. I will entertain my gloomy moment, analyze, think positively... and soon, i can face the world again.

A positive attitude may not solve all my problems... it cant bring me home in 24 hours! but it removes my misery, the heavy feeling of loneliness and so changed my outer aspects. my moods... my temper... i was really exhausted during the past few days! and you wouldnt want to see how i looked, my colleagues noticed those sudden changes.

but i am better now. a lot better. i thought about the good things of staying here... not that much, but still, there were few :) i started dreaming again and i strongly believe that it will come true. i know that soon, i can embrace my life again. i dont need to rush, i just have to wait patiently for that time... and it wont take long.

for now... i have so much blessings to enjoy & to share to other people. i just have to concentrate on counting... and i am determined to be always cheerful and happy, in whatever situation i may be, i learned that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our disposition, and not upon our circumstances.


there are 2 kinds of light -
the glow that illuminates & the glare that obscures.

2006

the last Christmas that i can remember...



sometimes, i keep asking why we have to leave?
why do we need to sacrifice our time?
minutes that should be spent with our loved ones.
seconds that can last forever with them just slips away from our palm...

and being far, we tend to wish that time must run fast...
that we hope the day will be over in a snap...
we dont want to check the clock, no more counting the minutes that past.
instead, looking forward to the next weeks... months... years...

until the day that we arrive home again.
a month of vacation will be a lifetime memory.
few days with them and it will all be heaven's glory.
i wonder why life is a misery... why do we need live in agony.
i am longing for their hugs & kisses...
i cant wait to hear the sound when they giggle...
and at times that they are in pain...
i want to be with them to wipe their tears away.

but in this life that i am taking...
i dont know until when will i be missing...
those moments with them that i know is running...
because soon, they are also leaving.

i hope one day, i can shout STOP!
i can take a seat, and be relaxed.
if given a chance or a wish maybe...
i'll wish that we are together again, my whole family.

Sana Ngayong Pasko (Ariel Rivera)

Pasko na naman
Ngunit wala ka pa
Hanggang kailan kaya
Ako’y maghihintay sa iyo

Bakit ba naman
Kailangang lumisan pa
Ang tanging hangad ko lang
Ay makapiling ka

Sana ngayong Pasko
Ay maalala mo pa rin ako
Hinahanap-hanap pag-ibig mo
At kahit wala ka na
Nangangarap at umaasa pa rin ako
Muling makita ka
At makasama ka
Sa araw ng Pasko

Pasko na naman
Ngunit wala ka pa
Hanggang kailan kaya
Ako’y maghihintay sa iyo

Bakit ba naman
Kailangang lumisan pa
Ang tanging hangad ko lang
Ay makapiling ka

Sana ngayong Pasko
Ay maalala mo pa rin ako
Hinahanap-hanap pag-ibig mo
At kahit wala ka na
Nangangarap at umaasa pa rin ako
Muling makita ka
At makasama ka
Sa araw ng Pasko


Sana ngayong Pasko…
