Side Note!

I do not understand how certian people do have the time to go in, skim through my blog (or maybe not see it at all), and put useless comments! Anyway, I delete them because they are not constructive or amusing! :) Maybe a name would be nice, at least I can figure out why I piss you off that much!

A Few Quotes About Love...

"Where there is love there is life."

Mahatma Gandhi

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love."

Sophocles

"He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

Albert Einstein

"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."

Anonymous

"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it."

Dr. Karl Augustus Menninger

"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence."

Henry Louis Mencken

Beautiful People

What is, by the dictionary definition, the meaning of ugliness vs. beautiful?

Ugly: displeasing to the eye, repulsive or offensive.

SYNONYMS: hideous, ill-favored, unsightly.

Beautiful: having qualities that delight the senses, especially the sense of sight,
excellent, wonderful, physically attractive.

SYNONYMS: lovely, pretty, handsome, comely, fair. All these adjectives apply to what excites aesthetic admiration.

So, how do we differentiate ugly people from those who are beautiful?

1. Looks: and trust me, looks can be deceiving! Plus, looks do never last!
2. Personality: the best judge!

In my short and humble life, I've met so many people. Some I met at work, others at university and others just in the daily life activities such as walking down the street, shopping, dinning, etc...

I always wondered: what makes them all different? what gives each of them a unique identity? what factors decide how beautiful or ugly they are?

My conclusion was this: sweet words to do not make you beautiful... Smart comments do not either. It's just how you see other people, how you feel towards them, sympathize with their troubles and feel joy for their happiness, is what defines your beauty...

The most beautiful people in my life were those who were the most humble, the most sincere and the most true...

I am greatful to have been lucky enough to have all those beautiful people pass by in my life...

Small Note...

I'm sure many of you heard the song : How great it is to be loved by you... Or something like that!

As for me, I think I need to sing: How great it is to be read by you!

For all of you out there, bloggers and non-bloggers (maybe potential bloggers), hope you have a great week end...

The Awe of Nature

After surviving through one of those long nights, full of haunting thoughts, images and then dreams…
I opened my eyes to the sound of silence, no cries, no whispers, no screams…
Opened the windows that connect me to the world outside…
Unlocked the doors of my mind…
Felt like the lightness of my head was causing it to turn…
Sensed the fire’s event of last night still burn…
Got dressed and went to work… Late, yet as alert as I could be…
Then as the cool morning breeze passed by me…
The little child living withtin me smiled…
It came at piece after all the tears it had cried…

This is me...

Rumors about Blogs!

I heard rumors that blogging was just as addictive as drinking and smoking can be...
I thought they were all lies!
Until the day came and I felt down and so confused...
And thought that my blog is the only one who will actually listen to my cries!
I came rushing to the PC, craving for writing... Wanting to be heard...
It's a bit ironic how all those around seemed so faint...
Yet my blog was clearly so vivid and true!

The Hollow People

Some people walk around in this world for no reason...
Their whole existence is a meaningless void...
They find the smallest things to hate...
And commit the stupidest mistakes for fun!
These people are so empty and shallow...
They hold on to their hollowness so much that they end up drowning with it...
I had the strangest experience today with a few of those people...
It left me feeling so weak and helpless...
I hate that feeling...
I know I don't deserve it...
Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day...

Words of the Wise :)

Never undermine the importance of friends... They are the most valuable asset you can ever have...
Never take those who love you for granted... There will come a day when they'll realize that you are not worth their love!
Having a big family might be a pain! Yet, I believe it's a blessing, for good or for worse...

Life and Love (May 9th, 2006)

Life is not a "walk in the park", just being happy and free!
It is a road of hardships, where we are challenged to be...
So live every day, as if it was your last...
Don't waste your energy dwelling on the past...
Enjoy every smile you are granted...
Grieve with every tear you might shed...
Laugh when you can, don't try to lock it up inside...
And when you're hurt, reveal your pain, because your eyes won't hide...
Love with all your heart, all your will and might...
And for those you love, suffer, cry, be strong and fight...
There is no greater power than that love bestows you with...
So love, and give, with every step, tear, smile and breath...

The Four Ws of Confusion!

What can I do to make you smile?
If only for a second, for a moment, or a while...
Who can I be to take your pain away?
To make you feel safe just like you felt the other day...
Where can I hide you or pull you away to?
A place so far away, a place breathing with happiness, a place so new...
When will I feel your love run through me again? Run through my every vien and deep within my heart?
When will this come to an end? When will we begin our lives together? When will we start?

Mistakes Unforgiven (An old attempt to compose a song)

Life is a long winding road in which we mess up, over and over again…
We make mistakes from which we suffer, alone, we swallow the poisons of our pain…
In the shadows of our deceased hopes, we live and try to go on…
Yet we realize, with time, that all our dreams are gone…
Mistakes unforgiven are the ones that hurt for real…
Mistakes unforgiven are those we mostly feel…
We tend to believe that the harm we cause others, could somehow die away…
We forget the past, never look behind, and try to live the day…
Never take the blame, never feel the same, our world crumbles to pieces…
The shame it hurts, the pain it burns, and we experience the weakness…
Mistakes unforgiven are the ones that hurt for real…
Mistakes unforgiven are those we mostly feel…

Pains of Seperation... (11-12-2005)

As if all the people in the world have vanished, and left me all alone…
I hear no sound or whisper…
I see no living things or even objects around…
I smell nothing but my own faint perfume, mixed with my fear of what’s to come and the disappointments that I had to bare…
I feel pain; the pain of separation, the pain of hollowness…
I don’t want to be alone anymore, I don’t want to be left behind…
I’m just a name, written on the sands of a far away shore…
A tear lost in a great big ocean…
I’m forgotten in a world that those who are remembered laugh at me…
Why? Why me? Why every time? Why is life so cruel to me? Why are my tears so cheap? Why is my sorrow so insignificant?
The world passes me by as I stand and watch my life fade away…
The pain digs deeper into my soul and all I can do is pray:
“Please God, protect my precious mom from any harm and if it is written, please, I beg you, keep her safe and bring it my way…”

"About Life"... An Old Piece of My Writing...

Life laughs at me… It mocks me, my very existence…
I can’t help but despise it, hate every breath it grants me and every smile it takes away in return…
I am a river of never ending sorrows…
A sky filled with grey rain-soaked clouds…
A body with no soul… A broken illusion…
No one feels my pain, no one knows who I really am…
I stand on this road alone, staring ahead into nowhere…
I am scared and confused, just like many times before…
I run around my pain in circles, I run fast and I am tired…
I’m tired of running…
I’m out of breath; I’m out of struggle…
I’m out of smiles yet full of tears and cries…
I need something, someone, or maybe, I need nothing at all…
I can’t think anymore… I can’t put up more fights…
I’m choking… I’m alone…

Memories & Regrets

Every so often, right before the sun comes up, I lie awake on my memories and remember you…
Still so fresh to me the feeling the loss of the only love I thought was true…
I think of each smile we shared and all the tears I shed alone…
Of the day I uncovered the lies, the same day you were gone…
Always you’ll remain a distant, unrealizable hope, wish or dream…
With the regret of being with you floating so far down the stream…

A Moment...

Sometimes, we wait all our lives for a moment to come...
When we give up and stop waiting or searching, something undefined and unexplained happens...
A moment...
One that could change the bitterness into pure yet untouched happiness and hope...
Thank you... For making a presence on the stage of my life...

People You Can Never Hate...

Though it may be hard to admit, yet there are some people that you can never get yourself to hate...
Especially those you had loved for so long, a love so painful yet so great...
After all that might have been said and all what has been done...
You feel so close to them, as if they were still a part of you, though you know they are forever gone...
It might be due to all the sacrifices you have once made...
Or the nights you spent thinking of them and the hopes that had to fade...
Still, a secret smile is drwan on your lips when you hear their voice and imagine their smirk...
And within your lost memories your thoughts begin to lurk...

Great Discovery!

Why Do women love to go shopping?
All you guys out there have wondered, maybe just even once, why do women love to go shopping? Well, through a journey in my mind, I have discovered the following....
There are a few reasons why women go shopping:
1. A date: trying to look your best for a date, especially first dates, is very essential to every woman.
2. To attract: some women strongly believe that what they wear can affect their personality positively so, they try their hardest to choose something very sexy and attractive. This sometimes makes up for the lack of ability to start interesting conversations!
3. Need: depending on the season and weather (very rare).
4. To release pressure and lower the degree of depression: I personally do that! I do not go shopping because I need to, I go shopping when I'm feeling down. I spend all the money I have (or might not have at the moment!) so I can think about that instead of worrying about what really bothers me!

A Thankful Note

"I felt a brilliant excitement today while I read each one of the still "few" comments posted on my blog... Therefore, I want to thank all of you who read me... I hope I will never disappoint you..."

To My Mom... I love, appreciate and admire you...

Always giving, never selfish or mean...
Always alert, concerned and keen...
Scented as fresh roses on a Spring morning mixed with droplets of dew...
Pushing forward to exceed all limits, so anxious to succeed, so true...
You glimmer in the night, you light up the whole house...
Without you around, there is dullness and no real friend or spouse...
Wishing we could be our best, wishing we could do the most...
To your friends you talk about us with pride, and you sometimes even boast!
Whatever you offered us and still do we will always keep inside...
Our love for you will always be there because you're one of a kind...
Dear mother, you are everything that is pure and dear...
I pray to God that I can always be there for you, be so near...

Oscar Wilde Quotations - Interesting and Real...

"A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal."

"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination."

"The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for."

The Man Returns!

The lifeless man returns to life….
Inhales his breath of freedom as he smokes his cigarette…
The hopeless man regains hope…
Thinks of all the days he has lost and all the moments he wants to hold on to…
He is lost in his work and the history of those who were before…
Drowned in thoughts of plans to do for the future…
Leaving regret behind and finding peace from within…
The tired man recuperates strength…
The scared man is no more afraid…
The girl is relieved… She is no more feeling the pressure or the pain…

A Personal Quote

"With every new day.... A new challenge is born... This is the way life goes..."

Sleep to Dream Her - Favorite Song by Dave Mathews Band

I know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To twist her arms now
She stares up at the stars when
The stars fell from her hair then
I bent down to collect them
And then she was gone
Oh, I sleep just to dream her
I beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms
Oh, I came there to find out
Find out she'd made up her mind, oh
My arms are all tied upTo me she was blind
This space between us
Where wingless dreams fall earless
Will you not bear me witness
With your back to me nowIt seemed so unnerving
Still somehow deserving
That she could hold my heart so tightly
And still not see me here, oh
Oh, I sleep just to dream her
Beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her armsI know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creatorTo be the light in her eyes

The Morning State of Illusion

I woke up this morning shattered in a million directions...
It took me some time to put myself together
I looked outside my window, into the sea blue endless sky and wondered....
About all those people, events and reasons that occupied my mind...
I sat down for a moment, looked deeper into my thoughts and sighed...
Dedicated this absent-minded existence to the man behind the shadows of the valleys in the horizons near by...
I felt a tingling rush through my veins and closed my eyes...
Felt the world pass by me as I stood by...
I heard a ringing sound from some where far away...
It led me out of my trans and set me back in people's time and place...
Again I leave the haven I call home and I face the curious eyes around...
I feel this weight inside and I feel it on the ground...
The burdens of what has gone still haunt my stride...
The anticipation of what's to come fills up my mind...
I take heavy steps towards the end of the path...
Reach my destination while the blossoms of my hope ripen and bloom again...

The State of Undeniable Confusion

As I rest in the corner, I observe the world passing me by…
I am reminded of those peaceful days that faded away with a blink of an eye…
I charge through the doors of my mind, rummaging around for happy memories to embrace…
While tears of fear and confusion disturb my every thought and scurry down my face…
Missing your serenity, your passion, your smile and affectionate embrace…
Remembering the beauty of your soul, the glimmer in your eyes and your grace…
Although you are here next to me, your pain makes you so distant and so far…
And I sit there just marveling what you might be thinking of, and were you are…
What I feel right now is too much for me to endure…
Because my love for you is so deep and the way I care for you is so pure…
You sorrow penetrates my existence, and leaves me there so numb and cold…
Your eyes are so tired and you soul, the aching, can barely hold…
