Dad's Definition Of...

I asked my dad over lunch what's the difference between a "stalker" and a "boylet" (well...he based it on me daw) Hahaha...I want to hit his head.



According to him:



Stalkers - ay ang mga lalaking may gusto sa yo pero ayaw mo

Boylets - ay ang mga lalaking may gusto sa yo pero ayaw mo kaso hinahayaan mo na lang kasi nakakalibre ka



...then he added "See, I wasn't born yesterday...I was born even before that

What's Your Story

Stories can be easily made
Out from the heart
Into the mouth it speaks
Whatever reasons behind
It flows like a blood

Stories often life changing
It creates
It destroys
A life gained
A life lost

Stories evolve easily
Doesn't stay the same
Like a bird it frees
Like a lion it devours

Stories...
Can be forgotten
Or might stay...
To those who hear

Friday Syndrome

Time is so slow every Friday

From a progressive metal band...Dream Theater!

Who's the Dream Theater anyway?
From Wikipedia.com here' a short description about the band

Dream Theater is a progressive metal band formed by three students at the Berklee College of Music in 1985. In the 22 years since its inception, Dream Theater has become one of the most commercially successful progressive bands since the height of progressive rock in the mid-1970s, despite being relatively unknown in mainstream rock circles. The band's two highest selling albums are Images and Words (1992), which was awarded a gold record although it reached only #61 on the Billboard 200 charts; and Awake (1994) which reached #32 on the Billboard 200. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and over six million albums and DVDs worldwide.

The band is well known for the technical proficiency of its instrumentalists, who have won many awards from music instruction magazines. Dream Theater's members have collaborated with many other notable musicians. Guitarist John Petrucci was named as the third player on the G3 tour for six times, more than any other invited guitarist, following in the footsteps of Eric Johnson, Robert Fripp, and Yngwie Malmsteen.

The World Has Its Rights

I was so out of place in this world I am in right now. What was I thinking coming to a place like this? From a company of fifteen to a hundred or so. I've never been to a place where there are so many people to deal with. From the art world to oil and gas. From creativity to technicality.

When I finally got the job I was, well, a bit excited and mostly confused. Career wise it was not wise...at all. I just wanted a job not far from home.

Working here was easy. I came to understand the nature of my work...so far and so good. The people here has its variation. Different thoughts, personalities and characters.

One thing that shocked me was GOSSIP. Yeah, even in men's world...come to think of it. Someone told me men are better gossiper than women. Haha! Guess they are!

I was a victim of gossip and prejudice here. At first I just wanted to "kill 'em all". But later on I got to, well, get along. And because of that I developed my own quote as a refuge.

Here it goes:
"The world has its right to judge you. But you also have a right to prove or disprove their judgment!"

Yey! So what?! I don't care what they think of me! I know myself better than them. Saka sino nahirapan kakaisip, ako ba? Sila naman di ba?

A Comeback

Friday...
After ten or so years...
My feet led me to my last memory of her...
First of June...

Her grave lie beneath an old tree
I've got nothing to place at her head
Not even a candle
Not even a flower

Her grass used to be trimmed
Green as the bermuda supposed to be
But it is now withered...dried up
There are other dead people beside her now

I don't know why I can't even get close
Maybe because I've changed a lot
Or maybe because I just don't want to remember
How she was buried 23 years ago

Mary June Abella Torrefranca Taotjo
June 2, 1957 to November 6, 1984
...a beginning...and an end
