The Past

“The past is the portion of time that has already occurred; it is the opposite of the future.

The past is contrasted with the present. It is also regarded as the conglomerate of events that happened in a certain point in time, within the Space-time continuum.”

That is the generic Wikipedia description of THE PAST, a period that has already occurred. Lost time, old story, history, time long gone, that is the PAST.

The Past is an interesting period to reflect on for each and every one of us. It is a part of our lives which some of us have had regrets, some have wished and are still wishing that it could be deleted, and some would love to visit time and again because of its nostalgic moments.

For some individuals, The Past holds the secrets of the skeletons in their closets. It is a threshold of memories they would not dare to remember again. The Past may seem ugly to some people maybe because of some things they did and regretted doing, of the events they never wished they had experienced, and of the people they hope they never met.

Other people however, think of The Past as a treasure trove where they keep their happy memories. Who would not love to remember those good times when they were so elated and in good spirits? Who would not love to recall past achievements and glorious moments? Good memories always bring smiles to dull moments of the present.

It has been said many times that the past is where we learn from and it will serve as our guide in the present in order for us to reach the future.

Some of us have learned from the past especially from experiences which we do not want to be repeated. Who would want to have bad experiences all over again? However, there are some of us who keep repeating mistakes. Why? I don’t really know… Maybe some people love the thrill of getting attention for doing stupid stuff…

Some of us have left people from the past in the past yet some of us are entertaining people long gone who are now back in our lives again. Strange things like these happen because some of us want to make amends with enemies, rekindle old friendships, and start things over. Why? I don’t really know… To work out some Karma I suppose… In psychology, they call it working out unresolved issues…

Why the hell am I writing this post? I don’t really know… It could be because I am currently doing some things I used to do in the past and have stopped doing for a loooong time (like blogging…). It could be because there are some people from the past who are back in my life to work out some karma with me and I suppose they will be staying until the future comes.

It could be because I am kind of autistic and I am not totally aware of what I am babbling about…

Mi Calla

This was the only "decent" photo I got on my way to Davao last year. We dropped by the Seagull Resort and I took this photo with my phone. I call it My Calla because at that moment it was all mine... I wanted to take it home with me but I was not allowed to do so...

Take nothing but pictures...

Back to the Old Template

I must be really annoying for having too many posts today...

I reverted to the old template. The stars in the galaxy were too blingy...

Firestarter

A Japanese guy set a hotel on fire in order to stop a wedding ceremony---his wedding ceremony!

Now that is weird...

If one does not want lifetime commitment, it is easier to run away and never return... The guy must have been so stressed that's why the only idea that lit in his head was to start a fire!

Another Sunset

This is actually an old photo I took exactly two years and two days ago. I was in a moving car on my way home and the sky was just so lovely and orange-y I had to snap a memory of it.

I don't feel too well today. I'm feeling a little bit gloomy... A sunset can be the best representation of what I am feeling right now. A sunset is always glorious due to its amazing hues but it is kind of sad in way that you have to say good bye to the light and welcome the dark and its unfolding mysteries...

Watermark

Ever since Watermark came out years ago, I always get this sort of catatonic feeling while listening to it. I must have been a lost person way back eight years ago when I imagined that love should be like Watermark... Seems simple and plain but INTENSE and DEEP...

Watermark starts simple yet as it progresses, it escalates into a glorious height...a climax that should not be repressed...and it ends with a mild afterglow...a sort of contentment that one gets when one's flying higher than high...

I was young and naive and had several weird experiences with "love"... Or maybe I have not experienced real love just yet...since I still have not experienced my Watermark...

Turn Your Lights On

This is a picture with memories of days long gone...

I was about to cross the street from the city's Cathedral, having come from the Ash Wednesday mass (Yes, I AM CATHOLIC). I brought the cam with me and I took some pictures of the fountain and other surroundings. I took this pic even though my hands were a bit shaky and decided to play with the shutter speed. I liked the effect of the lights...this could have been better if I got a tripod with me but then I didn't that's why the pic is kinda blurry.

My friend and former work mate Lor was with me when we went to mass and when I took pictures of the fountain. She already went home when I took this shot. She's not feeling well that time and I am not so sure if she is feeling better nowadays. I hope and pray she's getting better.

The building in the background is the hospital where I get my monthly shot of meds to help me recover from my ugly predicament. Every time I go to the hospital to get shots, I try to drop by the church or if I can't because I am too LAZY to do so, I just look at it and whisper a prayer in the wind that things will be better.

A couple of weeks ago tests were done and the meds seem to be effective. Well they should be! Hahaha! I will continue to get shots every month until the time comes for new tests. Hopefully, in time I will be totally well.



Nights are not always dark... It's all up to us if and when we're going to turn our lights on...

Pas mal - Not bad

I took a French-English vocabulary test at About.com and I had fun doing it! I mean, it helps you understand that the English language has loan words from the French language and some of us are not totally aware of the origins of some words. It requires common sense I guess and a knowledge of root words especially from Latin... French is one of the languages which have developed from Latin together with Spanish, Italian, etc.


Your Score: You got 76 correct out of 100 questions, for a score of 76 percent.

Pas mal - Not bad.

Well words can be a bit easy...but I think it's sentence construction, grammar and pronunciation which makes learning French quite difficult...

Gummi Land

I love gummi bears! They are yummy, chewy, and colorful! I love popping them in my mouth and chewing the life out of them...lol!

Words of Wisdom

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
Speaking words of wisdom...let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom... let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
There will be an answer...let it be.

For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
There will be an answer... let it be.

Let it be, let it be...

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
Shine until tomorrow... let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom...let it be.

Let it be, let it be...


Looking forward to our future love affair LET IT BE shirt...

Bless Me Lord For I Have Sinned

This had been a really sinful sundae from Vienna Kaffeehaus... I was not the one who ate it but my cousin who's across the table (I was nursing a really cold beer I thought it was euphoric I was ready to die that night)... I took a pic before she attacked the sundae...

Vanilla ice cream, mango slices, whipped cream, chocolate wafer sticks, and hot fudge...

The Queen of Swords

I was bored and created a slide show of various Queen of Swords cards from various Tarot decks. The music in the video is Enya's Boadicea...her tribute to one of the greatest heroines in history.

The Queen of Swords indicates a woman who is blessed (or cursed) with sharp perception, and highly honed intuition. She is acutely analytical, with a razor-sharp ability to get to the heart of a situation, seeing exactly what is, rather than what others would wish her to see.

She is a private woman, unwilling to let people too close to her until she is satisfied she thoroughly understands their motivations. But once won as a friend, she is unfailingly loyal, honest and supportive.

She's usually very intelligent, with a dry sense of humour. Her penetrating insight will often reveal aspects of themselves to others that they had previously been unable to grasp - thus she is a capable therapist, teacher or leader.

The woman represented by this card will be experienced in the flow of life, understanding a great deal about both the great triumphs, and the deepest failings of the race. Her clarity and measured expression will be of great value at times of confusion and sadness.

Sometimes in a reading, this card will turn up to indicate a woman in a particular phase of her life, where she temporarily becomes a Sword as a result of what is happening to her. In that case the card is not quite so positively defined, for it can indicate a woman left alone, and perhaps embittered. She may be a widow, or a woman passing through the aftermath of divorce.

In this case we often see the more negative aspects of the Queen - coldness, judgmentalism, criticism. At these times there is a certain sourness about her, with cynicism and sharpness making themselves felt.

It should be said that these qualities are inherent to the woman who is a Queen of Swords by nature too - if the woman concerned has not evolved sufficiently you will often find that the card represents a person who is hard and cold toward others.

In The Red Corner: The McDonald's Quarter Pounder

For more than a week I have been craving for a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder. I know it’s quite big and “not the right choice” for people who would not want to gain weight and are “health conscious” but I’ve been pining for it for many days and the only way to get over it is to have it!

Last night I decided to “get over it” by munching down one… I wanted to take a better photo of the QP before giving it its due sentence but there were a lot of people over there especially “sosyal” high school kids from St. Mary’s and I did not want to look like a stupid ignoramus who just had sight of a QP for the very first time! After two or three attempts of taking a photo of the venerated QP, I began my slow yet delightful demise. I know vegetarians would have bashed cruel words towards me if they saw the glee in my eyes while savoring a quarter pound of really yummy meat! I know a lot of people despise onions and pickles in their burger but I loved the zing they gave me and they played their roles well in being “neutralizers” to the greasy meat. The cheese, well I need not say more about it…it was melted and soooo…oooh la la…

I know it seems like I’m making a big deal out of a QP but hey, this is actually a eulogy of one of my favorite burgers. The one I had last night could be my last QP in this lifetime because I think I should cut down on the food I put in my pie hole. However, if and when there are people who can convince me to have another one, maybe I’ll give QP another try.

Stand Inside Your Love

It's been a while...came across this song/video and decided to post it together with the lyrics...





You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love
