"LOVE is patient.
LOVE is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast.
It is not proud.
It is not rude.
It is not self- seeking.
It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrong."
Sometimes we are placed with things that we think we cannot handle,
yet even the strongest and most powerful burdens on one's soul can be handled
by a human....
and..
Sometimes we are surprised by things that we did not expect.
Although at times it seems as though we cant handle life and its twists
and turns.... an opportunity and hope seems to fall from the sky...
at the times when you dont know but need the help the most...
the world always seemed to be veiled by a dark cloak,
impenetrable by light, and asphyxiating even with the deepest of breaths.
you think that no one will realize the true darkness that exists
within that tough, or happy-go-lucky exterior.
You put up these walls of strength or smile at everything,
to not show the true pain that haunts every turn and every breath.
the darkness seems to weigh you down.
it seems to control you.
it seems to want to take over.
until that one day... when you realize to plainly lift the veil and look
at the world without that gray and hazy medium...
but the courage, wisdom, and a helping hand comes from another...
one who saw everything you didnt see...
one who sees all the wonders your soul has...
takes your hand..and lifts the veil..
that magnificent light, the overwhelming senses of truth..
might seem to be too good to be true and hard to take in...
but that helping hand is always there... to say...
that its fine and that its all deserved...
ever find a phone call, a text message or even a post it mean the world?
youd think that trivial and technological nonsense wouldnt mean so much,
but the words, the meanings..and the person it comes from...
means the world...
waking up next to the person you truly and deeply care about is a statement
that most married couples or couples who are truly inlove usually say..
and there are only a handful of lucky people who have found this statement true.
even though at times they might curse you out while your waking them up,
or they look into your eyes and smile...
and even sometimes..kiss you on the neck to wake you....
but feelings like these are unconditional...
and i cant try and create a situation to properly suit these feelings..
its one of those... things you just feel in your gut and have no proper way of elaborating.
your smile is infectious.
your embrace is comforting.
your grasp is melodic.
and your eyes are soothing.
even when walking through the streets of nyc..
hundreds of people might be around us..
but all i see is you.
at times i stare into your eyes and wonder
about hope. possibilities. and luck.
and its your hold on me...that makes me realize
its ALL REAL.
to my one and only.

supporting evil?!!? proposition H8.....
so we have a new president... (claps....)
good to know that we have equality....
dont we???
of course we do... all we need to do is grow up
and have a marriage..between a man and a woman..
have a house with a white picket fence ..and 2.5 kids....
when did this notion become so instilled into the psyche of society
that we wont give everyone the chance to have a family,
and the chance to love.
somehow there is a notion out there..where bigotry and religious convictions
are more important than openmindedness and self consciousness..
which leads to vilifying gay people.
who said that love was supposed to be between a man and a woman..??
so shouldnt that mean..that a mother should not love her daughter??
and a father should not love his son??
because if we are limiting love to the opposite gender then why do we not go to the extreme (as some people are doing to gay people)
consider this same sex love between family wrong?!?!?
love is love...shouldnt that mean the genders and ages shouldnt matter??
what is so wrong if a man loves a man or a woman loves another woman?!?
does that offend someone somehow??
youre not in their relationships... youre not being "recruited" to being gay...
and if youre a third party who does not know what it feels to be truly inlove and marry
that special someone...then you should support gay marriage because if these gay men and women have found their special someones..then why hold them back from true paradise.
if youre straight and see gay people holding hands... should you cringe just because
its not supposed to happen that way?!?!
well arent you just wrong and shouldnt be given a brain..
love is love...man and man...woman and woman...
being married and given that chance to find someone.
and try and live their lives happily together as both shall live...
is something the gay community wants to have a chance to do..
and how dare people out there..try to take it away...
there might be negative preconceptions of infidelity amongst the gay community,
but somehow we all like to look at the negatives and not praise the positives.
some of these men and woman who are getting married...
have been together for longer than most heterosexual marriages.
heterosexual marriages are taken advantage of because
they have the right to marry whom ever they want...
so if again we look at the extreme side of beliefs... then shouldnt divorce
still be illegal..and if you made the choice to marry that person..
and they cheat on you...or does not make you the happiest person on earth..
tough shit... take it through thick and thin...and dont give up and divorce..
yea alot of things are surrounded that if gay people
get the right to marry, then they would want the right to divorce.
yea..its called equality...we all make mistakes, even if it is saying that
a marriage is a mistake...but you just need to give all the people a chance
to fall inlove and find the right person to spend their lives with.
love is love.

iridescent fear
have you ever had those moments in which
you experienced the greatest joy in your life, but at the same time
it is the downfall of your composure?
have your worst fear, as your greatest pleasure?
have your deepest secret be your worst fear?
have the most detrimental situation mean the most to you?
these confusing moments are the hardest to grasp, and hardest to feel.
now imagine having the best feeling you can ever envision,
ones that can be read and lived vicariously through the greatest of all literature,
or just by observing your surroundings..
as you reach of this, you feel it touch your finger tips, always grazing the ends
of your hands, warm enough to spread all around your body.
as this glimmer of happiness invades your insides
is this sensation real? or is the mind trying to intensify the small
sparks that stroke your finger tips, into a blazing flame.
the warmth seems so comforting doesn't it?
you fan it thinking that you can bask in the heat and comfort it gives you.
its so calming and relieving that all the other negative feelings
seem to have been burned away, blackened and covered with its own ashes.
until you wonder if this life altering phoenix of sorts is real...
you bathed in all that it could give you,
immersed yourself in its glory,
drowned your sorrows,
renewed a part of you that was not its best.
then you realize, that you never really had a full grasp
of what ever you were trying to reach for,
your mind has just exaggerated that small flicker of hope
so you can disentangle yourself from that place in life
you did not want to be in.
you interrogate the deepest portions of yourself
to find out if what you felt was the true full grasp, or that little piece
that kept unfolding until it ripped.
as much as you hate the ending.
the part in which you question your place and your
understanding of the world around you...
that little flicker of light, so divine, so inviting, so soothing,
is tempting you.
the temptation does not come from th fear of what might happen,
but the temptation comes from what might not happen.
sometimes you know of the situations and occurrences that you are placing yourself
into...
a long dark tunnel with light at the end that you might reach.
you hold your breath waiting to reach fresh air, as you think you have arrived at
your destination, you realize you have only moved a step away.
and your breath is gone from you.
the aftermath is worse than when you have exasperated your air supply.
as you try to gasp for air, your lungs seem to deflate as you intake air.
the darkness seems to surround you again.
you're trying to find that motivation to keep you going.
and then...
you feel that little spark at the end of your fingertips....
(i really didnt know how to convey what i am feeling at this hour in the morning, its a very weird mood at the pit of my stomach and at the base of my brain. i had a wonderful day, but i guess the hardest thing for me to do is face the things that are killing me inside the most, and can make a wonderful day somewhat somber. ive tried to find ways to indirectly force them out of self consciousness...but i cant... a song, a person, a word can trigger anything in this little head of mine.... idk what im trying to say..i was even advised to not write this, but i had to as an outlet. plus im going to be stuck in the great woods of new york state for the labor day weekend so might as well get some of the things that are bothering me out.)
ps. after reading this numerous amounts of times. i still dont know what i mean. but i know that i involve myself into vicious cycles that i know i could avoid. crap!

excruciating bittersweet moments.
so today i wake up and do nothing all day.
nothing except for watch some telly and read.
whilst reading i came across the word bittersweet...
now i would never extricate a word from my vocabulary,
especially if it would have somewhat of a happy undertone.
but even with all the small bittersweet moments that people have in life...
like the little things that make us smile but also enables tears to start welling up,
a lot of what we call bittersweet, is usually a horrendous situation,
in where a glimmer of hope and sunshine made the crappiest moment
into something that we can swallow.
well... those are the memories. but you know that
something has gone awry while i was going through
my initiation into society, that not only do the memories make me uneasy,
but so does the word. i dont know if i am the only person that cringes at the sight
of the word or even in ear shot of someone saying it.
i know...how can one word have such a negative connotation??
it seems as though the plethora of cinematic melodrama that follows me
where ever i step makes the word harsh.
in other words...my past sucks!!!!
and i am writing this because... again i am afraid...
i dont know why i should be afraid.
everything is going right...for the first time.... in a long time.. or even maybe ever...
the uneasy feeling that bad memories stir up...
is not a happy one to experience...
incompetent.
inept.
hopeless.
i could use all the synonyms for it.
but this feeling needs to go away. i just dont want to mess up good things.
P.S.
-on a lighter note
thanks for the smiles you give me.

refreshing...
just a breath of fresh air.
with all the things i was planning
to do with the rest of my summer..
it was made clear that i was planning them,
in order to get the hell out of the life i live....
but sometimes it takes new friends.
and A HELL LOT of convincing from the old ones
to realize that its not so bad.
so some things are getting scratched.
P.S.- i will write something worthwhile and a little more stimulating sometime soon.. just havent had a good reason to rant about.
P.P.S- you scare the living shit out of me

being.... Filipino...
A quick overview of the Filipino vernacular...
** the alphabet is taken to different heights
v=b's.....ex: very= berry
f= p's.....ex: Filipino= Pilipino
and the Filipino word of the day:
(derived from native tongue, prior to colonization)
"salongpuet"
explanation:
"salong"= to catch
"puet"= butt
... so by extension a salongpuet is a buttcatcher... after colonization it became sillia...
after being a commonwealth..became a chair.
^^ so this is what happens when two Filipinos call each other at 2am
and watch youtube together.
ohhh the laughter..
ok. good night.
airport in 2 hours. fuck
