Hey Dee

She feels so happy
that her friend is on her way
to recovery.

Revisited

Hello blog...it's been quite some time. I noticed that i have archives going waaaaaay back 2005? What have i been putting here? O_O

Will read back on past posts. I definitely missed writing haikus.

Hovering

Still wandering...

Royalty

He plays beautiful
music to my eager ears -
the one they call King.

Berso sa Metro

This was the inspiration i was talking about earlier...these poems are posted on the LRT trains and i enjoyed reading them. So, i'm sharing them with you, anyone, who stumbles upon this site of mine...



Tú justificas mi existencia:
si no te conozco, no he vivido;
si muero sin conocerte,
no muero, porque no he vivido.
-Luis Cernuda, Si el hombre pudiera decir


Ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit ako nandirito:
kung di kita nakilala, di sana ako nabuhay;
kung ako'y mamamatay nang hindi kita nakilala,
hindi ako mamamatay, dahil hindi ako nabuhay.


Ríete de la noche,
del día, de la luna,
ríete de las calles
torcidas de la isla,
ríete de este torpe
muchacho que te quiere,
pero cuando yo abro
los ojos y los cierro,
cuando mis pasos van,
cuando vuelven mis pasos,
niégame el pan, el aire,
la luz, la primavera,
pero tu risa nunca
por que me moriría.
-Pablo Neruda, Tu risa


Pagtawanan mo ang gabi,
ang araw, ang buwan,
pagtawanan mo ang mga liku-likong
landas sa isla,
pagtawanan mo ang torpeng
lalaking ito na nagmamahal sayo,
ngunit kapag bubuksan ko
at isasara ang aking mga mata,
kapag ako ay umalis,
kapag ako ay muling bumalik
ipagkait mo na sa akin ang tinapay, ang hangin,
ang liwanag at ang tagsibol
huwag lamang ang iyong ngiti
dahil ito'y aking ikasasawi


(Here's another one, but i'm having some trouble finding the original poem in spanish so...help! XD)


Kung sakaling malupit sayo ang kapalaran,
alalahanin mo ako
dahil hindi mapapagod sa paghihintay
itong walang sawang tumitingin sayo
-Luis Montero, Granada

The visitor

A stranger arrived
and passed by the quiet bridge
leaving a foot print

I recently published a post about the poems on the LRT in my multiply blog. And then when i logged in earlier, i saw that i have an invite. It was from an ME student who's more probably an acquaintance of one of my highschoolmates taking the same course and my friend's online buddy on the same site. I was quite surprised, and i don't know what to do so i really haven't taken any actions yet. So this post is for that person. You're one lucky person as i've already made one post for you. Good thing that person does not know about this other blog of mine o_o

nostalgic feeling
a sight standing at the gate
the same as the cat

Finally! I've seen him! (this is a continuation of the neighbor post XD)

Wardrobe

It's not possible
that somebody could change just
by changing some pants.

I don't think i've posted this yet, but i've already posted it on my other blog a few days ago. :)

Mickey

It's not so hard, i
realized, to use the mouse
not on the right hand.


Yes, i've been using my mouse on my left hand for quite some time now XD

FreeCell

the four empty cells
filled up one by one until
cards return to deck

I just love playing free cell XD

Speed Writing

Scrolls nine in number
thousands of numbers written
under four o'clock

Still, about thesis data gathering. Last tuesday (i think) my friend and i were copying about the variances. Actually the pile of paper is not as many as that of the returns, but we had more things to copy, or so it seems. I thought we'd go on overtime - meaning, we won't be able to leave the office by 4pm...but guess what? We did it! And we actually finished the whole thing by 3:30pm. Much earlier than our deadline. Hahaha.

The elder

The wind that pushes
me over the edge of the sea,
it hurts my feelings

The friend's dilemma

Two roads will not meet
unless she is not ready
and has fallen quick.

The pet

You were the feline
that used to fill up my mind
things not so nonsense.

The neighbor's kid

The name like that of
my father's; the face i have
long wanted to see.

I have a confession to make: when i was younger, i used to have a crush on our next-door neighbor's eldest. My gradeschool friends know him too, and also had the same feelings as me, though i've never told them how i felt back then. Haha. A few years back, their family have migrated to another country and just a few months ago his younger siblings have come back for a short vacation. And now it seems to be his turn. It's been so long since i've last seen him, even before they went to another country (just goes to show how rarely i get out of the house, but he's also often out then because of school) and i hope, just before he goes back, to get a glimpse of him even for just one moment. Haha.

April star

A lone star shining
across the dark velvet sky
a winged metal bird.

I was walking home when i saw this single shining object in the dark sky. As i continued walking, i saw its profile better and saw that it was an airplane. It was so beautiful to watch. It seemed like a big star shining in the sky.

Betrayal

There a will written
unbeknownst to only one -
angry was the one.

Luna's secret

Tell tales of the moon
are hidden behind the clouds
without them knowing.

Natural

For a long time the
earth has bestowed its blessings,
but where is the earth?

Virtuoso

When piles of paper
fly away into nothing,
that - is called patience.

This is dedicated to me and my friend, who worked for days copying data we need for our thesis.

Well, let's just say that i've been inspired. So if any soul gets lost in this part of the world wide web, you'll probably see more haikus from this point forward :)
