Title: Through Pinks and Purples...

"They like pink, pink and pink, and they like purple, purple and purple.”

~Maxine Clark~

For days now, I have been trying to do this. I have sat in front of my computer not knowing how to start. And so I ask myself why would it be so hard for me to do this? It's just a blog for goodness sake! Fear. Yup, maybe that's the culprit. Maybe I am scared. Who wouldn't? I have been gone for like, two years and now this? But then,... I know there are questions. And though I can't promise to have all the answers, through this, I hope I could. So, here,... here I am,... this is me. I have changed in a way, but for the most part, I guess the "old me" still remains. Through pinks and purples,... I am me.

I like pink. And I like purple! Pink and Purple is a good combination, too, and quite like the fat blooms of the hydrangea near my bedroom window.

But what have you got to fear? What is the worst thing that can happen to you if you scribble down your thoughts? Nothing, right? Whether they will read it or not, whether they like it or not, these are your thoughts and you can continue to scribble them down as it is your right to do so. :) Well, it's the New Year...so ring in the New You --- fearless and full of self-expression. Express yourself, K!

Yayyyy, K! I can't wait for your next blog entry!

Happy New Year!

I went to the city today to take care of monthly stuffs as I always do every first week of the month (i.e. go to the bank, pay the bills, do the grocery shopping, etc. and all the mundane household stuffs) that's why as I am writing this, my eyelids are drooping already for want of sleep. I am exhausted. I thought I'd get used to it already for I have been doing this for years now but apparently, I haven't yet. It's not that I'm complaining for I actually enjoy doing some of these stuffs sans the occasional headache and tired feet that I usually get from walking around the place for almost the whole day. But today, going to the bank alone was a nightmare! If you could only see the people standing in queue waiting for their turn, and I thought I was early enough not to endure it. I was wrong. I should've come the next day for I haven't realized the bank had a long holiday (from December 25th to January 4) which explains the never ending line of people. At times like these, one can't help but wish they're one of the bank's VIP's. Hahaha. If you are, then you just go straight to the bank manager and voila'... done. Oh, the privileged few,... how easy their life must be! ... But then again,.... I'm not complaining. Why should I? I have every reason to be thankful. See the books up there? I wouldn't trade that for the world. ;)

I am not a VIP but my cousin works for the bank where I do my banking transactions in --- so, yeah...I get certain privileges.

I have contracted for myself your enthusiasm for the Twilight books, K. Now I can't wait to read it! I have news, too! I am now #31 out 55 (oh yes, the queue is growing) waiting to take it out from the library.

And oh yes...there are certainly a lot of things to be thankful for if we just are just able to see them.

(I hope to see a lot of strawberries when we go picking them today!) ;D

Awww Annie, thank you, but really, I have a lot more to learn when it comes to writing. I can never write like Teamay, not even close. She is just so eloquent and she can capture images through her words. It may take a long while for me to achieve that I guess. But thank you Annie. :)

every day in our lives

we see love

expressed in many ways

every day in my life

i see you

camouflaged in places

and in faces

wherever

and whenever

i see love

i see you

and so i wonder

what is life without love?

and what is love without you?

the rush of day,

the stillness of night.

the serenity of dusk,

the dawn of light.

the warmth of the sun,

the wind's cold breeze.

all these i feel,

all these i see.

but what good does it bring,

if you're not here,

through fall, winter, summer and spring?

Annie! (giggles) I just love pink and purple! Um, did you notice the purple paint too? :D Lol, I am a purple addict. ;)

Yes, that's my daughter Kianna. Too bad she's not really in the mood for picture taking that time, it's one in the morning and she was sleepy!

Post by K.... on Jan 11^th, 2009, 10:16am

Terrible headache. Just plain terrible. I got drunk last night. I've had two margaritas, two shots of tequila and a vodka. I was drunk yes, but not "that" drunk I guess. I couldn't walk straight though. When we're heading for the parking lot, my brother had to hold my hand to keep me steady. And I slumped in the passenger seat like a rag doll. Lol. Funny how your mind's still working but your body seems to have a mind of it's own when you're drunk. And I couldn't insert the keys to my room too, my brother had to do it for me as well. Haha,... how helpless I must look last night. I don't usually drink,.... I was never fond of drinking. But last night, well,... let's just say, I was feeling kinda "experimental" that's why. Time for a change maybe. Time to be a 'lil "irresponsible" even for one night. And I felt the need to do something different from what I am usually accustomed to do. It won't hurt to be like this once in a while right? And besides, I realized I am still not fond of drinking. I'm sticking to pedicures and manicures, footspas and facials,... and dressing up from now on.

In another lifetime...
It would be forever...
In another world where you and I
could be together...

In another set of chances...
I'd take the one's I've missed
then make you mine...

If only for a time...
My life would matter....
In another life...

I do believe what wasn't meant to be
Wasn't meant for now...
And someday you'll see
In a place and time...
We never know
I'll be standing there...
Waiting for you...

But until the time
I'll be holding on
SOMEHOW...

Until...
another...
life...

Teamay! Yup, a hangover it is. Just plain terrible. I didn't know you like margaritas. Wink I've had two, a cherry and a mango margarita. I liked the cherry better though. And tequila sunrise? It has orange juice I guess. Not so fond of it. It taste sickeningly sweet. The vodka(plain) was quite strong, liked the cherry topping though. Lol. I have never liked beer Teamay. I don't like the smell. I'm just disgusted with the way it smells. I hope we could get together sometime over glasses of margaritas. Wink

Teamay! No I haven't tried ginger beer yet. Is it really good? I wonder how I can find one here in PI. 'Just curious. ;) Are "rootbeer" really a kind of "beer"? (laughs) 'coz I quite like it. And is there a "butterbeer"? ;) In Harry Potter it's quite popular, so it must taste good then,.... if it really exist. ;)

In My Daughter's Eyes
~Martina McBride~

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
Around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see
How happy she made me

For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes....

Hehehe! Frustrating, isn't it? I always write mine first using Microsoft Words, save it first, then just copy/paste when I am done. That way even if it don't get posted right away, I'll have a back up copy. I know how irritating that is when you have typed a lot and poured your thoughts into it, especially if you are in the mood to write. But if you lose the first copy, it would be very hard to recapture the "mood" again or to write the lost ones word for word.

You can do it, K. Hehehe!

I do feel like crying. Really, no over "dramatization" here. I was FINALLY willing, and trying to write about one of the most important people in my life and now this. Sigh, maybe it's not yet time. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. Okay then, I'll let it be. I think I'll just sleep this off. But I will write about it soon. Soon,...soon..............

Infinite

These solitary hills have always been dear to me.
Seated here, this sweet hedge, which blocks the distant horizon opening inner silences and interminable distances.
I plunge in thought to where my heart, frightened, pulls back.
Like the wind which I hear tossing the trembling plants which surround me, a voice from the inner depths of spirit shakes the certitudes of thought.
Eternity breaks through time, past and present intermingle in her image.
In the inner shadows I lose myself,
drowning in the sea-depths of timeless love.
