"for bees, the flower is the fountain of life,
for flowers, the bee is the messenger of love"
i lifted the bow. my fingers came down rapidly, pounding away on the strings, the bow racing, and it was the happy song, the gay and free and happy song and it came unstintingly and bright and fine out of the violin, that I almost danced myself, pivoting, dipping, turning, yanked by the instrument, and only dimly out of the corner of my eye seeing them dance. i played and i played. the music poured forth.
- the violin

i’ve read this article from Reader’s Digest December issue entitled "Beauty from the Beast"…it was quite interesting.. especially when it was made the Japanese…as everybody notice… "Japanese has been admired for their youthful complexions and longevity" said RD…and what was their secret? is it the food? the sushi? sashimi? vegetables? the ramen? their climate? well, according to RD they had bottled it… their secret was named Placenta 10000… it was a peach flavoured drink that contains 10,000mg of pig placenta. according to RD its properties in the blended placenta are said to be both a beauty treatment and an energy booster….problem with the drink is that,it’s not going to be available to everyone… so for those who want to try it will to go to Japan… the drink hasn’t been approved for import, thus said RD..interesting right? i think this would be a click to those who are into health and wellness…especially those who really work hard to be beautiful…

i was so amazed how people find ways and alternatives just to survive… along with the different crisis the country has, people still struggle to survive…well i guess that’s the only thing they can do in this world… to live and continue living…one concrete example are these vendors of fried squid and fish balls on the streets…well there are common along the Ayala Avenue… i just didn’t expect that even these small squids’ head were also sold…well fried squid HEADS…great idea and nice thinking… thus i sometimes come to think that human are after all the genius among all creatures on earth…holiday season is fast approaching… and you’ll notice that on every corner of the streets were vendors of gift wrappers and paper bags…anticipating the so called "Kris Kringle"….so don’t worry if forgot to wrapped your gift… just go outside of your office and you can find all solutions to your problems at the shop around the corner…thus i came to conclude that with even small things… there is money… there is something you can do for a living…
nothing answers life like life…a vision of a beautiful world…
along my daily route to the office.. i pause and gaze…i get a strange sense of distance…things before me seems far away…it ’sjust recently that i began to notice those road-side greens…for some time, i did not feel well…the discomfort finally got me…i am forced to rest now…i am on my way to the hospital…my body is feverish but i feel chilled to the bone…i am walking yet i feel floating…suddenly, i notice my hand reaching out to a road-side grass…people give me plants but i often let them die…yet, i felt closeness to those wild grasses…probably, that is the sign of a lonely man…as i age, my body and mind will weakened… and that makes me sad…but there’s nothing i can do…i do have many worries in me…but that is life, which has taken me this far…when holding a coffee cup…i wish i could have beautiful hands…thought like this makes me feel peaceful…some don’t see miracles as a miracle…they just simply think of it as an ordinary event…i cannot get enlightened…i cannot become a god…the magma in my head is about to erupt…hot, muddy and slushy inspiring things, like future, dreams, or hopes…my head is burning like a volcano ready to utter a loud cry…i wish to express it…but i don’t know how…right now i don’t have any reason to feel sad…but i am feeling sad …i know i will forget the preciousness of time in everyday life…the air that i feel…the light that i see…i will soon forget them…but if i can recall them in the future…i will be grateful for the dear memory…
a while ago… a friend of mine sent me a U2-Stay(Far-away, So close) song… he said he has this cool unplugged version… so i answered ok.. send it here(we were talking in YM)…then after a few minutes.. i got the whole song… then he as me to turn the volume up and listen to it well.. and tell him my interpretation of the song….so i listen and after i finish the second round… i utter… HOPELESS… FUCKING BULLSHIT MEANINGLESS LIFE… and he anwered that i am so negative… eheheh(ey that’s what i feel and understand ehehhe).. and then he said .. well it depends on the listener how he/she interprets the song… that’s what is unique with U2 song coz it has a lot of meaning….and he told me of his own interpretations… he said that i am correct but i had to look at a different perspective… he said that it was an angel or celestial being who was singing the song for someone whom he/she has been looking for quite some time…then he explain each line then each paragraph….he told me that the angel is the one singing… he/she is the one who had seen this fucking bullshit meaningless life but she/he can’t do anything about it…
And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk it’s not to me
And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing
If you look you look through me <— the singer is invisible
he’s been doing U2lyrics-ology(studying lyrics of U2’s songs on one’s free time)…well i gave you the lyrics now and see for yourself of how you will interpret the song…HINT: sing it as if your the angel singing the song… in the end it will make you HIGH….
Green light, seven eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don’t smoke, don’t even want to
Hey now, i see you check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning but you’re upside down
You say when he hits you, you don’t mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Oh, now, Is that what it is?
Red lights, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who’s around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip sync with the talk show hosts
And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk it’s not to me
And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing
If I could stay.. then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep it’s trust
Stay, and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio waves
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can’t call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout I’ll only hear you
If I could stay.. then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep it’s trust
Stay with the demons you drown
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough
Three o’clock in the morning
It’s quiet and there’s no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to the ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground
quote for the day…
if this day did not end up the way you planned it,
always remember…
if God had wanted this day to be perfect,
then He would not have needed to create tomorrow…
they say that you should not build a wall between you and the people around you.. instead build a BRIDGE… in that way both you and those around you can freely meet in the middle, build acquaintances, create a circle of friends and for some, settle their differences…
just got home from an ejoyable dinner at McDonalds…
me and a few of my trainees had made a pit-stop at McDo just to satisfy our hungry stomachs…well the truth is, i had invited them to join me for a dinner.. in other words i had treated them…
they had been through a lot or pressures these past few days and their schedules were very tight which make their faces frowned from time to time… you can hardly see them smiles and crack jokes with their co-trainees…deadlines dealines and deadlines…. those were the words you can hear from them… exams, exams and exams were also their favorite words to utter…a few got sick and absent, thus adding to their worries of catching up with the lessons…and not to mentioned deducting it from their allowance… thus in the end they don’t know what to do…and they do get tired and gave up… and it situation like this.. i had made a point to cheer them up… that by all means i had to bring them to a worry free atmoshphere even for a while… and food is my own little way of doing it…and i guess i was successful…. for we had an enjoyable dinner together…while eating we were talking stuff not related to training…we were laughing and joking around like nothing has happen before… and am glad that they were smiling and laughing again… that in a short period of time they forgot their worries on their training…for an hour they were relieved of the stress and pressure brought to them by the training…for an hour, they had enjoyed the company of their co-trainees…for an hour they forgot about their deadlines, assignments, exams, senseis, and trainors…for an hour they had forgot that they were exhausted and tired…
and in the end, everything were alright…
