Izeeng

You've been with me through good and bad
stayed with me through happy and sad
You've loved me through all my lies
comforted me whenever you heard my cries
You're right there through laughter and tears
this I will cherish throughout my years
You have loved me unconditionally
and I will love you through eternity
I thank God for giving me you as a bestfriend
I promise to be with you until the end
You were, still are and always will be
the most special friend who's dear to me

Always

You are my dream come true
You took me out of the blue
Your love's what got me going through

You are all my heart wishes for
you're my knight in shining armour
your love's what makes me love you more

Always you and me
forever to eternity
you are what lights my way
I'll love you more everyday
and eventhough we are apart
you are in my heart
Always

Since you went away
I haven't seen the light of day
but knowing you'll always be mine makes it all okay

It was so hard to say goodbye
all I could ever do was cry
but I know that you're mine until the day I die

I know that you're my destiny
I belong to you and you belong to me
Honey one day you will see
you and I are truly meant to be

After the storm...

Yesterday the island of Luzon had an electricity shutdown due to a typhoon named Milenyo which registered as a signal number 3 storm. My daughter and I sat by the door and watched the strong winds uproot trees and roofs. She kept screaming gleefully, kids are so innocent aren't they? Anyway, I can't stay long, I just had to go online because I need to check my e-mail and some other stuff. Hope everyone in the region is okay...

Poet?

No...I'm not a poet but there are times when I get the urge to write and I just want to share some of it. So beginning today, I'll post each poem I've written in the past one by one, hopefully I'll be able to find them all in the clutter that is my drawer. Au Revoir...

How does a broken heart fall in love...

He came into my life
not so long after someone had
just shattered my heart and soul
He entered my mind
when I didn't want him to
made me laugh and comforted me
when I never asked him to
He cared for me and fell for me
when I didn't need him to
And I found myself starting to fall
when I thought it was impossible
After all, how does a broken heart fall in love

I didn't even know him too well
I only knew the intensity of his passion
whenever he looked at me
I only saw his sadness and tears
that was all because of me
I only felt the tenderness of his love
when he held me
All I knew was that
I didn't want to let him in
I tried to stop myself but was unable
I was so sure it wasn't possible
After all, how does a broken heart fall in love

How did something
that needed mending
be able to function like it was whole
How could the feeling start
when it had just been torn apart
and was able to do it's role
Maybe it wasn't working properly
or I just needed to listen more attentively
so my ears I kept wide open
how could that happen
How does a broken heart fall in love

When I closed my eyes
I still saw him
I covered my ears
and still I heard him
He wasn't around
but I could still smell him
I had nothing else to do but comply
there was just no way to deny
My broken heart just fell in love

Unsure

I'm not sure why I started this blog, I don't lack in things to do (since I am a mother to a little miss smarty pants who goes to an exclusive school), I don't really have much to tell either. Hmmmm...I guess I need a better outlet to express feelings I can't unleash at home. This is so much better than something destructive which I have been in the past.

So how to start? So, call me Gelatin, obviously one who has two x chromosomes although I sometimes act like I have both x and y. Just turned 23, born and half raised in the Philippines, other half was spent in Canada but currently resides in the Philippines. Ah, I usually get the question why? right about now. It's because it has been my experience that educational institutions in Canada from pre-school to high school aren't up to par with my standards. It may sound like I'm bragging but I am smart and always get excellent grades. Studying in Canada was so damn easy honestly that I just got really bored. Anyway, I want nothing but the best for my daughter so I chose to go back here and have her go to an exclusive school - La Salle since I cant afford the exclusive schools there. Questions about her father will have to be answered later or some other time. Back to me, I'm a virgo pig. I love to sing, read, write, travel and drive! I am friendly, sweet, loving, outgoing, funny, too emotional, too trusting (bordering on gullible) and a procrastinator. I'm getting dizzy talking about myself so let me introduce to you my little girl, Dana, a virgo horse. Just turned 4 without me noticing it (she didn't even go through the terrible 2s!) and so naturally intelligent. She was accepted as a Kinder 1 student when she was still 3. If you knew schools here, they're very strict about a child's age but my little teddy bear proved them that she's just too smart for them to reject. She's currently obsessed with the video games Contra and Balloon fight which I play with her.

I have to log off because I have to eat with Dana now, she's been tugging at my hair for the last 5 minutes because she saw the red rice cooker light switch off. Til next time people...
