About Me

AN OPEN BOOK THAT PURGES A MILLION BEAUTIFUL WORDS... ____________________________________________________________ ____ PLEASE CLICK ON BLOG ARCHIVE (OLDER) TO VIEW MY PAST WRITINGS THAT HAVE BEEN THRU NUMEROUS BLOGSKIN EVOLUTIONS.. ____________________________________________________________ ____"I love you, he says. I understand this well. The Iceman loves me. But then, from some far-off place, a wind stirs and blows his white, frozen words away...away into the past.. I cry..Icy tears stream down my face..In our faraway, frozen home at the SOuth Pole...Now, there is almost nothin' left of my former self. Sometimes I forget that I ever even had it....."--- from The Iceman, in Vintage Murakami ____________________________________________________________ ____ FOR A BRIEF WALK INTO MY SKIN, FEEL FREE TO DISSECT ME BY CLICKING ON THIS URL: http://www.bittersweetcharisse.blogspot.com ____________________________________________________________ ____*HAPPY* You look at yourself in the mirror and you see an image of someone a little of a far cry from how you thought you once were, and you experience lethargy....You looked back again...And you ponder on how much of your lifetime was spent being happy..and the many years that passed by you....replaced by the strength and wisdom you thought you never had but they're evident ----in your two eyes....You outgrow the lethargy, then it's FREEDOM....You're smiling now.... ____________________________________________________________ ____MY UNDERLYING TRUTH: ..My soul is slightly tortured, slightly complete & incomplete...I am the master of my emotions, I don't care about what you say on my : kindness, to the extent of bein' abused by all the favors given but never have i taken back.... my darkest hours...lies....deception.....truth.... love ....my far-off imagination....solitude ...disrupted happiness .....inconsequential depression ....my shallow concept of happiness...SOULFUL - that's my definition of me... ____________________________________________________________ ____HOW MUCH MY SOUL HAS EVOLVED: ...I am a staunch believer of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE...And FATE. My 2 daughters being my life... I adore Pablo Neruda's NAKED. People love me. I give more than I can take. Selfless. I worry about other people more than myself...Love grips me, it's such a strange thing...Crushing my resolve senseless...It carries me to another plane even if it means defying my principle..I grieve for people who are incapable of bringing depth into their lives. Oftentimes letting an opportunity to pass by - opportunity that will make their dreams come to life one by one...I sneer at those who can throw invectives at others without knowing where they are insufficient... Those who rage in anger over things they never understood - like how two strangers connect without spending time to talk..Or why it seemed like they have known each other before? ____________________________________________________________ ____I love books, I treasure them like my life. I spend thousands of minutes in Powerbooks - reading from prologues to epilogues before paying for them. And it's one freaking habit I carried on to ppl close to me - they're adddicted to it!Weekends for me is staying at Timezone from afternoon to evening with Wam & Roxeanne..I mean, me at Starbucks with Meann while we wait for them squandering their money on tokens that disappear in one blink of their eyes. Modern evolution of cosmo motherhood! Mom drinks Macchiato, daughters making sermon to Mom to be home early after work..Haha. ____________________________________________________________ ____Youth is fleeing, temporary. In this life, family & friendships are like the air that I breathe. I feel if you let go of those, just like your youth, everythin will be BLAH. We should keep them - like how you imagine a child holding tightly a lollipop in his hand. ____________________________________________________________ ____ ____________________________________________________________

My Interests

SOULFOUL...(and narcissistic! haha) Anxious of my coming of age... I listen to Moby...Nyoy Volante...True Faith...Underground Music...Indie Pop...OPM...Eclectic Jazz...Opera...R&B...Technopunk...One blink of my eyes would mean a thousand ideas conceived and processed... Do you know what constitutes the basic idea of being a woman of substance? When intelligent conversation matters more than sex itself..I am starting to patronize that dogma...One palm reader said i am an old soul.Bloody...the excessive lines at the side of my palms show how many reincarnations ive transcended and that, i think, is more cool... i am a believer of fate..that what it has to offer was written even before we were conceived...no one has the power to rewrite it, unless you have such faith in God and yourself that you can change it for the better... i have very, very high tolerance for pain, as an aftermath of having carried 2 lives in my womb : WAM and ROXEANNE ....1/4 of my domestic life is dedicated solely to my blogspot http://www.bittersweetcharisse.blogspot.com ...Starbucks is already in my monthly budget...Lately, FooFighters and The Cure have been part of my household audio, where I struggle to play it against my daughter's RnB Mix CD... From time to time I wonder what might have happened to Salman Rushdie after his long bout with Khomeini's fatwa caused by his publication of the Satanic Verses...I LOVE Wam & Roxeanne " whom I call my little sisters...Palm Tungsten- I promise you'll be in my arms again soon!... Right now, I grieve over Babyface's CD courtesy of Moe ...I hate to say that my damn CD Writer broke it into pieces... ___________________________Currently: I'm into the process of reawakening my soul in order for me to realise my forgotten dream...I read the manuscripts of Kafka, Coelho and Gabriel Garcia Marquez....Not to forget Neruda...Never tire of Radiohead and Portishead and DSound and Truefaith ....Right now, I await the coming of my 2 daughters from school cuz the last time I saw them was last night...And it will continue being such not until I call it quits from my job and finally decide to pursue my dream... ____________________________

Heroes:

Ive always taken YOU for granted. YOU never left me....Sometimes I prayed to die, YOU gave me lots of reasons to continue breathing so I could discover where the lines written on my palm would lead my life... I doubted YOUR love because I seemed to have lost the few men I've had in my entire lifetime - my dad, Richard...Still you've always kept my mom, my daughters and my brothers healthy and strong... When YOU see me like a kite strugglin' to fly in a windless afternoon, YOU blow away your gusty wind as if it could reach heaven..It must be the irony of it all...That makes YOUR love different. ____________________________ My old friend Ronald. Your belief made so much difference in the lives of a lot of people... i promise you a million beautiful words in my head. i could put them in writing, all of them. now and in the future. and it's all because, from the very first day i knew you and your friendship, you have always believed in me. that belief became my wings to fly as high as i can.... You and your SOUL that I remember each time I reckon the miniature piece you painted for me back in eon years that looked exactly like this... The friendship beyond death. Beyond years of absence. Beyond distance. I'll always thank and remember you.
