from the doodle pad: ode to my addiction to ballpens

to the nice pens in national bookstore:

i see you there again

i always seem to know where to find you.

its somewhere i should be avoiding

cause its hard to stop when you've got me started.

your presence is hard to turn away from

makes me want to touch you...

to know if it feels just right...

to drag you across the sheet... (i really don't like this line but can't seem to find another to replace it)

several have come before you...

...and have gone...

either broken, forgotten, or stolen...

dried up or simply just lost.

would i be able to own you?

let alone, touch you?

something i'm slowly getting over: 

my itch to buy pens and papers.

oh yes, my favorite store is national bookstore.

i love the song... "you make me feel" by archive

World freediving champion Guillaume Nery had for some time wanted to establish a link between his sport -- which requires diving to incredible depths on a single breath -- and BASE jumping, which involves free-falling and parachuting from stationary objects."

from the doodle pad: ode

you are rooted deep
and your presence is disturbing
on best times, you're nothing
but that numb spot or slight throbbing
on worst days, you're an agony...
painful, gnawing and piercing.
i've pretended much too long
a hole that's not empty
a presence in absence.
my forced indifference made you seemingly non-existent
but in truth, you're making me rot
and the necrotized flesh stinks of you...
undeniably... unbearably.


now, it's out of my mouth.
you're out of me.
what a relief.

i have always loved the sea, sun and sands... i could've been lil mermaid in my past life. haha

its my first time to snorkel though... loser mode, i know... nevertheless, it's one thing ticked off my bucket list now.

although we missed the dolphins in balicasag island, we sure enjoyed feeding the fishes.. got nibbled by one too..boy, they were huge... just like those that we enjoy eating hehe. 

thanks to the birthday gurl, ate babes for the all expense paid balicasag get away...

no, its not the end of summer... it's still at its peak. 

me... trying not to float.

from the doodle pad: pickpocket

you pickpocket!
how i loathe you and despise you... for your audacity to crawl into the night
crawling behind my back...
making the best out of my oblivion.
you struck me without me knowing
and took me by surprise.
i fought you, yes, i did
with all the defenses i knew
yet off you went with everything that you stole.
you, pickpocket...
i'm talking to you!
you who i loathe and despise with all that is left of me...
you, pickpocket...
come back...
give me back my heart...
... and i'll never ever wear it on my sleeves again.

though i run
though i hide
still its there
still behind
no way out
no escape
every breath
every step


its making me weak...
... this shadow...

from the doodle pad: untitled III

some things happen
that you just cant explain
you try to look for reasons
but fail all the same.
some things happen
can't stop them though you try.
it goes deeper and deeper
without you knowing why.

from the doodle pad: forever

friendly smile. simple hello.
eyes meet. fires aglow.
unsuspecting hearts. unheard whispers.
stolen glances... forever lingers.


fleeting touch. silent intentions.
midnight tears. suppressed emotions.
innocent hearts. captured together.
unspoken wish... lingers forever.


confessed feelings. mutual affection.
shared romance. love's perfection.
passioned hearts. pure surrender.
promised eternity... forever lingers.


forbidden bliss. love denied.
chained hearts. heaven deprived.
timeless regrets. painful "never".
a hopeless tear... lingers forever.

from the doodle pad: your mystery

you are a mystery

and you remain to be one

you hide deeper and deeper into your own world

as the silver moon hides in the night sky

i can measure not

the depths of your soul

but of certainty it is one

that weaves down into the unknown.

for what is it that you hide

from me and perhaps, the world?

a peek is all that can ever be..

a harmless glance but never a lingering gaze.

what will it take to assuage your guard?

would i be deprived of the answers i ask?

if the questions then remain unsatisfied

and the answers yet unfound

then you will remain that same mystery

the mystery i cannot seize.

from the doodle pad: forbidden

i long to tell you forbidden words...
... words i am not supposed to utter.
but you see, its all in here
kept, hidden, and left unrevealed.
because that's how it should be.


fear creeps through my soul
and i try to avoid your gaze...
'cause i know the moment you see my eyes
they will confess the guilt of loving you.


i should never fall,
you should never fall.
for loving entails hurt and pain and tears
-all the things we try to run away from.
we've been there before.
love is the road we should tread not
if we are to keep our hearts whole.


just let it go
because that is how it should be..
...kept, hidden and left unrevealed...
... suppressed, denied and soon,
maybe, even forgotten.


i should never fall,
you should never fall,
my reason forbids it.

from the doodle pad: a look inside

i look at her face
darkened with pain
fear you have never seen.


i look at her heart
bruised with fear
pain you have never felt.


i look into her eyes
staring back at me
looking back at myself.

i bought another journal early this month.. i know, i know, i've been hoarding notebooks and journals.. its just that it's cover has a "quote" that is sooo apt these times...


this is what it says...

from the doodle pad: contradictions

scorching is the sun, burning like fire
the world is ablaze, yet it is cold.


blue is the sky, lighted  by day
the world is bright, yet covered with darkness.


people walk around, littering the streets
the world is so full, yet it is empty.


everyone breathes, taking in air
there is life in this world, yet death looms over it.

from the doodle pad: there's no such thing as love

there's no such thing as love

there is only

pain,

confusion

and

fears

hopeless dreams

and

tears.

its just deception

there's no such thing as love.

there's no such thing as love

man thought it up...

'said it would make you complete...

... it comes...

you don't have to seek.

it is plain deception

an idealistic conception

there's no such thing as love.

there is only you

there is only me...

pain,

confusion

and fears

hopeless dreams

and 

tears

there's no such thing as love.

from the doodle pad: *@#?!*

what is the use of a sunrise?
if the great star will just set?
the sea rush to shore one minute..
and then roll back away from it?


same as why did i have to see you
and then watch you as you leave
same as why did i have to have you
ans still lose you in the end.


you are the sun that shone on me
you are the sea that kissed the shore
so why did you have to set on my sky
and roll away from my feet?


just make me understand.
