A Call to Arms

"There's no point to keep your head face down, when all we see and know and feel is temporary. Spread your arms and keep your held high, good things are better taken in the less you notice."
Lines from the song A Call to Arms by Urbandub form their latest album The Apparition.

This part of the song is my favorite. Why? Its because what is said here is true and is really happening. In life, there will always be trouble. It will always be there. Its a natural thing in us to experience problems. Problems that may bring us down for a long time, or situations that may bring us mad and out of our mind. Sometimes those who can not take it anymore commits suicide to end their sufferings. But , "there's no point to keep your head face down, when all we see and know and feel is temporary", there will always be hope for us. no matter how long it take to approach us, it will definitely come. Today will be different from tomorrow.

In real life, there will always be people who will help us every time we need it. People that will comfort us when we need comfort. People that will make us smile when we are crying. People that will help us stand up when we are down.


"Spread your arms and keep your head held high, good things are better taken in the less you notice"; definitely true, we just take for granted the good things that we have. We just don't notice that we already have them in our hands because our mind is poisoned by our own judgement.

Here is the link of this song. Just follow it.

Kahit ang mga Baliw ay may Sagot din na Nakaka-PRANING

Letter to my best friend

Para sa mga kagaya ko na hirap maka move on sa past. Ang tanong, hirap nga ba? Kasi minsan ok naman eh. Ang saya-saya ng atmosphere. Ganado sa lahat ng bagay. As in ok talaga. Parang nawala na yung dating nagmumulto sa iyo ng paulit-ulit. Na kahit sa panaginip sinusundan ka at hindi tinatantanan. Parang nakaka-praning lang isipin na bakit hindi ba matapos-tapos ang mga ganung bagay? Yung tipong, hindi mo na nga iniisip pero kusa naman lumalapit para magpaalala ng kung anu-ano.

Sabagay, multo nga eh. Nagpapakita sa mga pagkakataong hindi mo inaasahan. Tinatakot ka, na pinagkukunan nila ng lakas para lalo kang takutin at manatili silang nariyan sa tabi mo at para hindi sila mawala sa paningin mo. Parang lamok na paulit-ulit kang kakagatin para sipsipan ng dugo, at kung mamalasin, magkaroon ka pa ng dengue or malaria na siya namang pwedeng pumatay sa iyo.

Sa tagal na rin ng panahon, parang nakakasawa na rin yung ganito. Wala na bang bago? Nananahimik na lang nga ako dito eh. Pero para ka talagang hangin. Kahit saan ako pumunta, talagang hindi ka na mawawala. Siguro dahil na rin sa naging part ka na ng sarili ko dati, kaya ganito. Parang hindi ka na rin talaga aalis sa isip ko. Kasi nga andun ka na. Gumawa ka na ata ng bahay dun eh kaya feel at home ka na talaga.

Hindi naman kita pinapaalis ng sapilitan noh, kasi alam ko naman na hindi na mangyayari yun kasi nga matagal ka ring naging part ng buhay ko. Ang sinasabi ko lang, sana i-timing mo rin kung kailan ok ang mood ko. Para madali ko lang i-ignore ang lahat ng mga ka-emohan sa mga bagay-bagay na may kinalaman sa iyo. Kasi ewan ko ba kung bakit ganun pa rin ako sa iyo. Aminado naman talaga ako dun. Iba ka pa rin talaga, ganun ka pa rin sa akin. Sabagay ikaw pa lang naman kasi talaga, hindi ka pa nasundan.

Gustuhin ko man magkaroon ng kapalit mo, talagang hindi pa ata dumadating yung tao na yun. Gaya mo, kusa kang dumating nung mga panahon na tumigil na ako sa paghahanap kasi wala naman akong napapala. Ginulat mo na lang ako isang araw, nariyan ka na pala. At ibang-iba talaga pag kusang dumating sa buhay mo. Kasi natural ang lahat. Hindi ka pinilit at hindi ka namilit.

Sana lang talaga, naging patas lang tayo sa isa't-isa dati. Sana hindi ako nasasaktan ng ganito ngayon. Kasi ang sakit sa kalooban na iniwan ka ng taong mo mahal mo dun sa point na mahal na mahal mo siya, na clueless ka kung bakit.

May mga pagkukulang, oo, pareho tayong meron. Pero sana kung naiintindihan mo lang ang sitwasyon natin noon, sana hindi ganito kahirap para sa akin ngayon. Kung ikaw kaya ako, nung mga panahon na tayo ay magkasama, at ikaw ang na sa sitwasyon ko ngayon, kakayanin mo rin kaya? Malamang oo, pero kagaya rin ba kita na masaya ngayon? Siguro hindi.

Pero nagpapasalamat ako sa iyo. Kasi ipinaramdam mo na kumpleto ang pagkatao ko pag kasama kita. Ipinaramdam mo sa akin na special ako at iba sa lahat. Inalagaan mo ako sa abot ng makakaya mo sa kabila ng lahat. Alam ko naman nung mga panahon na yun, ginagawa mo na lahat, kahit hindi halata. Alam ko, alam mo na yun. At alam ko na alam mong ibig kong sabihin. Namimiss ko lang ang dati nung magkasama pa tayong dalawa. Nung wala pa ang boyfriend mo. (T_T)







Love,

Pare (pet name ng mag-best friend)

(yan ang madalas nangyayari sa mga mag-best friend, may nahuhulog ang loob para dun sa isa, itinatago ang feelings for the sake of their friendship kasi ayaw masira ang pinagsamahan. But the worst part is, they both hurt themselves and most of the time, they end up loosing each other. Ouch! Sad, but true.)

Look Beyond What You SEE

(this photo is taken from Palawan Photo Blogs-a group in Facebook)

Inspiration comes from everywhere. Its a thing that we just feel anytime and anywhere. Sometimes it surprises us and dictates our actions to do something unusual and unexpected. Like a robot, being controlled by a remote control, intense emotions have its own power to overrule the mind, feelings, and actions.

As I browse some blogs, I found a photo from a group in Facebook in which I am a member, a photo of a young lady watching the sunset under a tree in the middle of the sea. This photo is so amazing! The fact that I really love sunset. For me, its one of the sources of my inspiration. The number one source I guess.

Every time I watch a sunset, or even just looking at photos of it, there are stories that just create a new dimension in my mind. I see new perspectives, and new ideas, as if I am searching for them, they just come and gives me an extraordinary kind of strength. Strength that I don't know where I'll use for. Its within me, and it keeps me alive. And all I know is, I should make things, I should add something to this world. But its not only me, it should be we. It is we whom will make our world better. Better than we imagined before.

Ratatouille 'Only the Fearless Can Be Great'

Its been a while since the last time I was impressed in a movie. As far as I remember, that was 7 months ago. That was the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings.
Last week, another movie inspired me. This time, it was "Ratatouille".

It was Thursday afternoon, I heard my twin brothers were laughing. I got curious about what they're doing. So checked them out. I saw them watching a movie. At first, I ignored it. I'm not interested at all. Then I saw my sister, she was paying attention to the film. For the second time, I took a look again. It was not bad. The illustrations were funny, and a kind of catchy. Then I was hooked up when the main character did something unusual.

He was cooking. Yep, that's right. The main character was cooking. How it became unusual? Well, he was a rat putting some spices in a soup. Not only an ordinary soup but he managed to make the best one. Cute isn't it? But gross. In real life, we treated rats as pests, but in the movie, he was hero. He saved the new garbage boy who was recently hired by the chef from being fired because of his clumsiness. Then, they worked together to stay in the kitchen as a new cook. The rat was controlling the human like a puppet to do cooking.

Its crazy, but I like the story and the ideals they portrayed. Its equality that matters. No discrimination as much as possible. Anyone could be a hero, anyone could be a great man, anyone could be a noble one. Only if we had given a chance to do so.

In reality, we are not equal, but we are trying to be equal. Limits are set for us. Power, wealth, freedom, they all have limits. But its not too late. For those who dare, they might get what they deserve. Only the fearless can be great.

Spirit of Music

Sometimes music cures the sadness of a person. It has its magical powers that goes inside the ears and flows directly to the heart. It jams with every beat. We can't notice it. We will just feel it without knowing it, that it is already inside of us, making our soul to sing, making our body to jive.

Smiling, you wouldn't notice it neither. Tapping, you'll just do it without a reason. Singing, of course if you know the lyrics, then sing along with the melody, if not, my God do not dare, you will ruin everything. LOL. :) just kidding.

See how magical it is? It has its own spirit. It has its own life. It has its own feelings. If you love music, music will also love you in return. Just relax, listen, feel the sensation, music is all around us. All you need to do is "listen"

And always remember, just keep ROCKIN!!

Praning!

Minsan may mga bagay na mahirap intindihin. Minsan nakaka-asar tanggapin ang katotohanan na talagang pinaglalaruan lang tayo ng pagkakataon. Minsan kung kailan masaya ka na, may manggugulo pa. Kung kailan tahimik na ang isip mo dun pa may papasok at sisirain ang lahat. Ano ba talaga? Badtrip ah. Bagong taon na, ang ganda na nga ng simula eh. Okay na okay na ako. Pero dahil lang sa isang tao na ayaw na ayaw ko na makita dahil naiirita ako sa kaniya kahit wala naman siyang ginagawa sa akin. Ewan ko ba. May mga ganun talaga. Kahit yung dati kong professor sa English subjects ko nagkwento. Meron talaga siyang tao na bwisit na bwisit siya kahit wala naman ginagawa sa kaniya yung tao. Yung tipong gigil na gigil ka at sarap na sarap kang hambalusin ng paunti-unti. Brutal ba? Ayos lang yun. Brutal din kasi yung nararamdaman ko pag nakikita ko siya eh. Pinapahirapan niya ako ng hindi niya alam. Nakakabanas lang talaga kung bakit sa dinami dami ng pwedeng makita, yung tao na yun pa ang bubungad sa akin. Pwede naman yung nagtitinda ng yosi, yung naglalako ng balut. Pero bakit siya pa? Kairita! Ito pa ang nakakatawa. Hindi ko naman siya kilala hahaha! Praning ba? Yaan niyo na lang ako, hindi ko naman kayo inaano eh. Siya lang yung nang-aano.

Kunwari deadma ako na nasalubong ko siya. Pero ang totoo kumukulo na dugo ko. Hay, bakit kaya ganun noh? Parang nananadya yung pagkakataon. Parang wala na bang iba diyan na pwedeng pagtripan at bakit ako pa? Sa dami ng tao sa Palawan at sa Pilipinas, isama mo na rin ang buong mundo, sa aking pa nataon yun. EEeeeeeeeeh! Kagigil!
