how we learn
depends
on our heart

one can see
a simple
diorama

another
can see
the story

one can see
the dates
the personalities

the other
the story
the why

one can see
what happened
in the past

the other
the reason
why now is now

depends
on the heart

not looking at the past
we lose one eye

forgetting the past
we become blind

moments that define

life
measured
in years?

NO!
in moments...

a glance
an eye contact
a smile
an awkward moment

silence...

deep thoughts
that leads
inward
transforming
the soul

tears shed
in the
ICU
the decision
to let go
of an embraced
loved one

students
that inspired
the professors
to be better = )

meeting
the woman
that makes
a man
to become
a better
man

the moment
when one finds
the reason
why he
was born

the moment
when one
embraces
that there is
a GOD

and it's not
"I"

blindness

surrounded
by light,
everywhere

yet...
choosing
to close
our eyes

what difference
do we have
compared
to blind people?

choice?

fool's choice
yes...
a fool's choice

so,
who is better of?

the blind
for he has
transcended
his existence
braille helps him

the fool?

i don't know.

reloaded thoughts on education

if we think education is expensive,
try ignorance = )

if we think studying is so hard
try being uneducated = )

lines

when tom was jerry
and when he said,
"Help me, help you!"

when al was colonel slade
and when he said,
"Whoa!"

when billy was harry
and when he said,
"when you find the right one,
you want your life to start
as soon as possible!"

when robin was keating
and when he said,
"...suck out the morrow of life!"

when julia was the diva
and when she said,
"... I am also a woman
standing in front a boy
asking him to love me..."

when jack was an OC
and when he said,
"... you made me want
to become a better man."

when mel was wallace
and when he shouted
"... freedom!"

when brad was a myth
and when he boasts,
"Immortality. It's there.
Take it. It's yours!"

when russell was a gladiator
and when he ordered,
"On my signal,
unleash hell!"

when orlando was a knight
and when he said,
"always tell the truth
even if it leads to your death!"

but rizal got it right
over 100 years ago -
the pen is mightier
than the sword

Mabuhay and Pilipinas!

gifts unwrapped

beauty... brains

both are gifts
both are undeserved

that's why it is
a surprise
when one thinks
it's an entitlement

seriously, did we do
- anything?
to have what we have?

brains and beauty
gifts...
undeserved...
a blessing

but wait...
what can be a blessing
can turn to a curse

how's you heart?

12:53 pm musings

Confused,
know this...

even in times
of sadness
somewhere
a baby giggles

even in times
of war
somewhere
a man proposes

even in times
of despair
somewhere
an entrepreneur starts

even in times
of heartbreak
somewhere
Certainty falls in love

So, it us up to you
Confused to see
what you want to see

Remember Confused,
we choose
what we see

for in the end
whatever you choose
Both is
part Truth

"... and the Truth
shall set you free!"
