Two contrasting J's

Like a bird singing songs in the morning
Dreaming, wishing, guarding the night
Full of hope, carefully spreading
His wings to reach the unborn sky
He is good but not the world once around him
But he's never afraid to start all over again
He is as clear as the water in spring
And gentle as his heart could bring


He is a mystery in this so-called world
A puzzle you will always trying to solve
A magnetic device that drives you closer
Nearer… and yet… so far
Ever so distant, pretending not to care
Bluer than the ocean and deeper down under

To G

For all the things you never said
But shown instead
A simple nod, a simple smile
A simple but honest look in your eyes

For the enthusiasm when I come home
For the belief and inspiration
For calling my name
Sweetness that endear you to me

For the patience of waiting
And eagerness in learning
For the songs we love to sing
A simple joy for me it brings

For the eyes that glow in amusement of what I've done
For the lips that's ever ready to say " You can"
For all that you are
Thank you my little one.

Chapter 10: The Wedding

She’s holding in her hand, another invitation.

“You’re cordially invited to the wedding of

Darren and Sena…”

It’s been getting frequent receiving invitations from friends and even to some she’s not even close to. Either it’s their child’s birthday, baptism or weddings.

As she stared at the card, she’s thinking if she’s going to. But a promise is a promise. And she wouldn’t want to miss her friend’s special day. It’s only once in a lifetime. Well, hope so. Yeah, she can spare one day from her so-called-busy-life. And besides, she’s already dressed. She might lose or gain another 10 pounds tomorrow. And she won’t be able to fit in the dress again. Another one thousand five hundred bucks down the drain. Plus, another 1k for the three inches high-heeled shoes she bought to match the dress. She’s going, she decided. She grabbed her purse, closed the door behind her, and climbed the taxicab that’s been waiting for her for fifteen minutes.

She was seated at the table with a group of friends and their respective partners. She chose to come alone than invite one of her guy friends she’s not comfortable with accompanying her to such event. Across her were her friends Toni and Carlo. They have been married for eight years. They’ve been a couple since college, married a year after graduation. They were perfect together. Were. Past tense. If they had a choice they would have preferred not to come together. They’re having some minor problems with their marriage lately. Well, that’s an understatement.

The song “When I fall in Love” played in the background. It never missed to be included in the list of songs played at a wedding. And she’s getting bored. She saw Darren take the hand of Sena and guided her as they both walked in the middle of the ballroom and started to dance. As others stand up to join the couple, her eyes caught a couple seating at a table near the entrance door. They seem to be arguing about something.. and then.. they laughed.

And her heart was filled with longing as she looked at both of them. She saw how they look at each other’s eyes teasingly and understandingly that this will be the first of the many days that they will argue and compromise. And her heart felt empty as she watched them walk away.

Potter mania

I watched Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire and it was fun! However, I was what-if-thinking how it would be like if Haley Joel Osment played the role of Harry. He'd probably put more emotion to the role. But who am I to criticize? Still, criticize I will. ;)

In the scene (2nd challenge in the Triwizard Tournament), where Harry, in his red shirt (or is it maroon?) and black shorts, is about to dive in the water to save Ron, they made Harry looked like a hobbit. Or is it just my imagination?

Victor Krum. Well, I imagined the character differently. I pictured Krum to be taller with an Adrien-Brody-like nose, with a scar on his face, and a lot leaner. It should have been Adrien Brody. Oh, bloody hell!(to borrow the expression)

Robert Pattinson who acted the role of Cedric Diggory suits me just fine. (because he's lean. Haha!) I was teasing Pipes when the last challenge in the Triwizard Tournament, The Maze flashed the screen that I'm going to cry because Cedric's going to die. Yes, sometimes I'm that bad, pre-empting the next scene. And maybe I would have cried but Pipes keeps laughing at me. Anyway, bye Cedric, I won't be able to see you again on the next Harry Potter series. Well, unless Rowling conjured you up in the 7th book.

Mad-eye moody. I just wished they made his eye more real and scary. Really.

Flare Delacour. I pictured her to be a fairy-like beauty. I'm quite disappointed though.

Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort. Hands down. Perfect.

And oh, I loved the scenery!

There's three more left of the series- something to look forward to. Hope the wait won't take as long as it took the Star Wars prequel.

All Souls Day

friends pursuing their dreams…

a love lost…

unresolved misunderstandings…

not meeting expectations…

growing up…


All souls day reminds me not only of departed friends and loved ones but also “death” of certain phases of life.

Yap, and all you need is a brush and a song..
and I have just the perfect one
right here inside my phone (got W800i and loving it!)
oops.., my cue. gotta sing-along (didn’t mean it to rhyme, cheesy)


Big Big World
Sung by Emilia


Chorus

I'm a big big girl
In a big big world
It's not a big big thing if you leave me
But I do do feel
That I do do will
Miss you much
Miss you much

I can see the first leafs falling
It's all yellow and nice
It's so very cold outside
Like the way I'm feeling inside
Miss you much

Outside it's now raining
And tears are falling from my eyes
Why did it have to happen
Why did it all have to end

I have your arms around me
Warm like fire
But when I open my eyes......
You're gone

I'm a big big girl
In a big big world
It's not a big big thing
If you leave me
But I do
Feel I will
Miss you much
miss you much


Tomorrow, I’ll be singing a different tune.
