hold me ‘til I lose my shadow.

I felt kind of poetic ... oh well, here it goes :]

My days have gone bitter
No sweet songs or joyful whispers
When will I taste a promise so reassuring?
When will I know?
Here I sit … still waiting.
Daylight take me,
Hold me ‘til I lose my shadow.

busy january // happy december

wow. a new year has just started and i'm beginning to feel the pressure. i've got to accomplish a lot of requirements before this month ends *sigh*. anyway here is what happened during my two week vacation last december [I surely made the most out of it ;D]...


[DEC. 25] I had fun last Christmas because celebrated it with my whole family. Thanks to my cousin who gave me a "This Journal Will Actually Change Someone's Life in 2010" Journal :))



[DEC. 29] Ate lunch @ Millicent's fish pond with the best friends I could ever have [my HS classmates] then we went to the beach to have some more fun! :)



[DEC. 30] Had my old guitar refurbished, yey! Thanks to my Aunt who owns a furniture shop in San Vicente (they've got lots of cans of varnish lying around) :) Total cost: FREE. HAHA! :D




[DEC. 31] We had a fun new year's eve! My dad bought two cartons of fountain fireworks and each firework was labeled with different "wishes" for the year to come such as Luck, Love, Prosperity, Serenity, etc. After I lit them up, watching them burst made me feel good. I've set my hopes up for this year and i'll keep my fingers crossed :D

37 seconds

Here is something I got from the movie Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium:

Mr. Edward Magorium: 37 seconds.
Molly Mahoney: Great. Well done. Now we wait.
Mr. Edward Magorium: No. We breathe. We pulse. We regenerate. Our hearts beat. Our minds create. Our souls ingest. 37 seconds, well used, is a lifetime.

dive into freedom

got this from an LG TV commercial... it's a very lovely insight :)

The day we're born is the last day we are truly free.
Before you know it we're boxed in, held back, constrained.
Facing a lifetime of walls, roadblocks and coloring between the lines.
But what if we knew we were free to go further, no walls, no ceilings,
nothing but POSSIBILITIES.

hope.

i got this here.

it’s the one thing you can count on.
hope is the thing that gets you up when you’re down in the lowest spot. day after day we rely on hope to help us survive through to the next day. no matter the sorrow or misery or despair that we undergo in one day’s time, there will always be the guarantee that we can look to hope as that light that will give us that urge to survive. there will always be a light in the dark. a single sign that proves that you have reason to survive and make it through whatever life throws at you. the greatest promise is knowing hope will always be there. some hurts are never gone, but you have to keep moving. the first step away from a painful experience is always the hardest. but hope is the best friend that stands by you through all that. hope allows us to move forward. it helps us find some way to survive this thing we call life.
