Mr. Curiosity

2008-10-18T21:23:00.000-07:00

Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Are you killing me?
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything
Just as long as you'd call me
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it
See this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
Love is a mystery
Mr. Curious...
Come back to me
Im waiting ever patient can't you see
That I'm the same the way you left me
In a hurry to spell check me
And I'm underlined already in envy green
And pencil red
And I've forgotten what you've said
Will you stop working for the dead and return
Mr. curious well I need some inspiration
It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration
The scenario is grave but I'll be braver when you save me
From this situation laden with hearsay
I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
And love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Be Mr. please
Do come and find me,
I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
Trying not to ask why
Cause love is a mystery
Mr. curiosity
Be Mr. please
Do come and find me
Love is blinding when the timing's never right
Oh who am I to beg for difference
Finding love in just an instant
Well I dont mind, at least I've tried
And I tried, I tried...

Things That I have Learned recently

2008-10-16T22:56:00.000-07:00

As I've Matured...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is
stalk them and hope they panic and give in...

I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets.

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just
jackasses.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off.

I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things.

I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back.I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent.

And I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural
stupidity

Life is beautiful

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes a word to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some tears to make you trust
It takes some years to make it rust
It takes some dust to make it polished

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
It takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to know you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Life is beautiful,Life is a full circle

huh

Don't date because you are desperate.

Don't marry because you are miserable.

Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.

Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.

Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.

Don't dictate because you are smarter.

Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough and know better.

Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.

Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.

Don't stagnate!Don't regress.Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.

Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr/Ms Right.Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.Find a new friend.Start a new career.

Sometimes, there is no race to be won.Only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.

To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.

To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.

Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of what you can be.Simplify your life.

Take away the clutter.

Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.

Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.

Be true to yourself.Don't commit when you are not ready.Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.

Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.

Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.Love Deeply.Walk barefoot.Dance with wild abandon.Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.

You light up your life.You drive yourself to your destination.No one completes you - except YOU.

It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.It only gets more challenging.

Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.Don't lose faith in God.Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.

Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.

Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.---- Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life

Rape victim has conjoined twins
By Jasmin R. Uy, Staff Member
The Freeman 04/02/2006

A 13-year-old girl from Western Mindanao, who was raped last year and got pregnant as a result, gave birth to a pair of conjoined twins at a private hospital in Cebu City last Tuesday, the apparent product of that savagery.

The girl - whose identifying circumstances, as well as that of her mother who accompanied her, are being withheld by The Freeman - was in a state of apparent shock from both the birth and the realization of what she gave birth to and refused to be interviewed.

Only her mother did the talking, but even then, she had been very sparing with the details. The doctor who attended to the birth could not be contacted to provide information on the condition of the babies.The twins, both girls and delivered by caesarian section, were conjoined from mid-chest down to the navel. I

n the absence of official information, there was no way of knowing as of press time if they shared any vital organs.It was the mother who said the girl was raped last year when she was 12 by a 20-year-old neighbor.

The girl turned 13 only last October. The mother said the girl was watching tv in the house of the suspect when she was attacked. Charges were filed but the mother said the suspect managed to flee before he could be arrested and the case has consequently stalled.

The mother said they chose Cebu City for the girl's delivery on being advised by well-meaning friends that better hospital facilities are available here. It was not clear if they already knew the girl was carrying twins.

The mother and the girl had actually been in Cebu since March 10 and tried to find a place to stay with relatives. On failing to locate them, they sought and were granted shelter at a seminary.She said she and her daughter are expected to check out of the hospital tomorrow but intend to leave the newborn twins at the hospital because they require specialized medical attention.

She said the doctor left for Manila to consult with experts and explore the possibility of surgery to separate the twins. Dr. Remedios Bacasmas, director of The Freeman Foundation, yesterday visited them at the hospital to offer assistance in raising money for the surgery if it materializes.

Conjoined twins are monozygotic multiples that do not fully separate from each other due to the incomplete division of the fertilized ovum.Such individuals will be connected at certain points of the body, and may share tissue, organs or limbs.

Monozygotic twinning rates are the same throughout the world; they are not affected by heredity, ethnicity, infertility treatments, maternal age, or any of the other factors that affect dizygotic twinning.

No one really knows what causes monozygotic twinning.However, the majority of conjoined twins are female. Again, there is no identified reason for this. It is not known whether more female twins are actually conceived, or if simply more female conjoined sets survive the pregnancy.

Conjoined twins occur in an estimated one in 200,000 births, with approximately half being stillborn. The overall survival rate for conjoined twins is between 5 percent to 25 percent. Conjoined twins are more likely at 75 percent to be female. Some pairs, depending on the degree of conjunction in particular, the degree to which they share internal organs, can be separated successfully by surgery.

Three days ago, I asked my friend Gilbey the mind-boggling question, "Why on earth did they call that perfume 'Forest Interlude'?" Yesterday, she offered an answer: They named it after Eugene O'Neill's novel, Strange Interlude. Of course I found that strange, so I told her (Gilbey, not Eugene) that perhaps the naming of the, uh, purse concentre (as one Avon lady Gilbey and I know so charmingly put it), was a posthumous tribute to the author. Gilbey mentioned something about literary theories and instead of pursuing the topic, we talked about other interesting stuffs (men, movies, masters degrees, and more men).
I now therefore ask for your opinions on the matter Why On Earth Did They Call That Perfume 'Forest Interlude'? Emails, snail mails, messages here on my blog, or posts on the comments section of this blog are welcome.

BAMBOOED

2006-02-22T20:28:00.000-08:00

RX: Bamboo, 18 Feb 2006, Aznar Coliseum, SWU, Cebu City.

The title is appropriate. RX: Bamboo. Meaning, I have to take Bamboo pills (or eat Bamboo shoots--the sexual undertones, hmmm...joke....) because, face it, the man is sexy. Now since I am currently incapable of writing a review (since when did I become capable?), let me tell you this: While others were dancing to the beat, I stood on my chair and seriously contemplated having an immediate breast implant. Man, Bamboo Manalac the lead singer is really really hot he must be prevented from going to the South Pole because the icecaps might melt.
I'll stop here. It's time for my Bamboo medication.

Recently my sister (who's very weak-hearted; she can see stuff...) went to camp at her school. She was a NCC cadet and they were suppose to patrol the old block near their headquarters. Each cadet was paired with another cadet. My sis and her partner soon joined up with another pair and they went to the toilet. One of the girls needed to use it and asked the rest of them to wait. Meanwhile, the girls were getting fidgety so one of the them started frightening them with ghosts, but my sis stopped her. When the other girl have finished using the toilet, they decided to continue but then they heard the hand dryer. They were sure no one was in the toilet.
Soon the girls were fussing about the matter. Each time the girls talked, it didn't sound but when they stopped the hand dryer buzzed as if it was trying to say something.
They were walking so fast that when my sis walked past a window, she saw the figure. It was a woman, egg-shaped face and it was very pale. It had no features. But there were holes where the eyes, nose and mouth should be. She immediately blinked her eyes, covered her face. Her friend saw it too but they kept silent.
When they got to the headquarters, my sis just glared at the others and sat by the window when it was time to sleep. She would cry then laugh, then wail. Her friends tried to ask her what's wrong but she snapped at them angrily. They knew there was something wrong with her because they said that her tears flowed out in three rows, not like the normal crying. Then at around 2 am, my sis's condition declined. Her teacher was forced to send her home. My father had to take her home via taxi.
What really happened? I did not know whether it's true or just one of those "make believe stories" but it all seemed so real because her friends said it was true...
