A royal rhapsody

She was still a princess when i met her...
that time she showed no glory...no shine.
visually, a cocoon kept in dark oblivion
but through that darkness i show her glow, i show her light

years gone by and she has bloomed into someone worth as a treasure...
letting people see the glow she kept within.
The royalty was born.
A queen that is ready to fulfill her heart's desire.
Strong and beautiful, her people loved her.

They were amazed by how she fulfilled tough responsibilities only a queen can toil.

This queen may not have her castle
this queen may not have a throne
she may not possess prominence
and she may not own that much gold...
but she is loved.
Because of that innocence she has that goes through
beyond the the complications of time..
this queen is my friend,
she is a friend of many...
ill keep her perpetually
and forever she'll live that royal life...
i know someday ill see her with that throne.
ill see her in her castle..

ill smile just to know
my princess has grown.




This is a composition I made for the year book of my dear friend Maricel Castillo for her graduation in UST. Its very much ramdom play of thoughts.

Older Fellas Smell real "g-0-0-ddamn it!"

This one happens to all of us, I'm sure. You had a bad sleep but after a sip of coffee or two, you're back to your sanctuary of good mood again- your zen-your ok. Then you realize you have to take off for your work. You look for keys. You realize you dont own a car ( its a part of your dream last night, so i wont blame you. Then finally after listening to my blabber mouths, you hit a nice fx, seat comfortably and then the manong driver played his stereo and you realized its not chico and delamar (but another couple of radio blabbers copying them). But still your ok, your zen, remember? Then your ride went all good. But you were too naive to think that you own an unbreakable santuary of zen. One guy signalled your car to stop.He's kinda well dressed. His shirt?(Kulang na lang mesa, plato at baso.-mantel na mantel!)His pants?(back to the 80's, whoah dizzy missy!) And of course his accessories? (galing saudi, treasure chest of gold.) He's like a living portrait in black in white( try to retouch it with photoshop and you'll kiss your mac goodbye...) He's the kind they call DOM. He's like our grand grand dad. He's old! if you still dont get it, you bastard!





Well, i dont have anything against hes visual presence, I know I'll grow old too in time (but i'll make sure, Im in deep friendship with someone fashionable when that time comes.)





WHAT IM CONCERNED ABOUT IS HIS SMELL. ITS PURE VANILLA RESEMBLING CAR DEODORIZER AND SAMALAMIG FLAVOR ENHANCERS.





WORST THAN ALL THESE? HE PLACED HIMSELF SOOOOO CLOSE TO ME....





ITS A HEADACHE TRIGGER, BAD MOOD ENHANCER AND MUCUS JERKER.





It was terrible.





Dear sir,





I am a concerned fellow who wants to tell you in the most friendly way, THAT YOU SMELL NOT JUST FUNNY, BUT REAL REAL REAL FUNNY. I hope your family will not disown you. Vanilla is not for human odor. Sir, I am worried that you might add up to the pollution of the already highly polluted manila.





I wish you good life and health and I hope you find it in your heart that wearing strong perfume is like motivating senators to pass a bill that will make it illegal.





With all respect left,


guevara.








Human scent is deed important, but I will quote one of the Queer Eye for the Straight guy dude/dudet/dude - that perfume shall be used in moderation. People want to see you first before they smell you.








Peace on heaven and Earth and people 60's and above. =)

Harry Potter is Real.

I have read Harry potter books 1-4. I am really on the go to read books 5-7, but I thought of re-reading the previous books thinking that I might have forgotten the significant events of it. So, there I was, out of the said "goodness" of my "bff" April reading the "Sorcerer's Stone" again. I just realize that they omitted a lot of good scenes in the movie... like the Quidditch transition. I cam to realize that more than Harry Potter, it is really the character of Severus Snape that I will tag as my favorite. I came to realize that harry potter scenes and events seem so real. Of course, not to talk about the magic and wizardry to be real. I'm talking about the scenarios and storyline. Harry lives with no parents but most of the good characters like him, you know, Dumbledore, Mcgonagall, Sirius Black,and others. He was stereotyped but emerged as the strongest wizard. It is like the common genres of Pinoy Telenovelas nowadays. All of them saying that life is like a wheel. But, of course i wont stereotype Harry Potter to the levels of those Pinoy series( hey, come on, we all like them but we must admit that sometimes, they lack quality and depth.) I remain as a fan of this Potter Series and yeah the Quidditch(brilliant game isn't it?).I actually, planned to write something about betrayal of friendship and discrimination. I just think that the things I'm going to say within this topic will be loaded with negativity. So, i decided to write about something light instead. Its part of my on going mindset to keep all things positive.
