I promised my bestfriend Bill to post her favorite song in my blog so here it is.....She played Flightless Bird, American Mouth on guitar while singing it too....
I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you?
Flightless bird
Jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill looming
Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Kissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you?
Flightless bird
Grounded, bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill, stuck going down
How many times a month do you eat out in a restaurant? Do you wish you dined out more or less?
More or less six times a month, every Fridays and Saturdays of the month....Though every Sundays we all get together at home and enjoy cooking for the family and friends.....I think it's better to dine at home.....Well it's just how you prepare and present the food that makes it so special.....I still prefer dining at home^^
How do you read a newspaper? Well as for me I try to choose only what I need to read. Ofcourse there are some bad news and good news in a newspaper and we can’t help but to view the bad news as well yet I always look for the good news first before reading the bad news^^I just find it so unfair when people sensationalize the news and it’s always been that way.
I thought about this because I wonder why we love to criticize or ostracize people. Why do we never care about other people’s feelings just to make our news the best news in the world. Why do we always compete with one another. “Our nation is better than your nation. Our people are better than your people”. I just wonder why we can’t be fair with each other.
We all have our own hidden agenda. We don’t do things out of love instead we do things only for our selfish interests. That’s why we try to pull each other down instead of promoting what’s best for each other.
Love your neighbor as our Father says. Forget our hidden agenda. Do things out of love not out of selfishness.
.....Once I wanted to become a painter but it did not happen......I thought also of becoming a script writer in movies or a movie director but they didn't happen^^.....and lately I just wanted to become a leader in our community or "barangay"....Why?.....so that I could ask all my constituents to let all their dog pets wear pampers while roaming the streets in our barangay.....lol^^.....Why?......I couldn't take it anymore^^.....I always accidentally stepped on those "poops"where the dogs roam and usually are neglected by their owners^^.....
Once I was on my way to the church from school......and then it happened I noticed that....( I was already inside the church)...... when I smelled a foul odor and it was a "poop".....OMG^^.....there were the old women cleaning inside the church and the floor was really so shiny and bright......I panicked^^.....I didn't know what to do......I felt like so embarrassed to have poop in my shoes.....Some churchgoers were quietly praying and couldn't asked for help.....I didn't know if I should stand or sit ...I didn't wanna spread the "poop"on the floor......So I opened my envelope and got a piece of paper that read^^......"Certificate of Recognition is hereby awarded to:.....my name was stated on it.....for having won the blah blah blah"......Well.....yeah ...I tore it....to remove the dirt on my shoes^^....
What haven't you said that you wanted to today?
Thank you for all the good things you've done to me...I should have been there when you needed me but I wasn't.....though we don't see each other now....someday we might have the chance again^^
When is okay to lie?
White lies... It's sad that at times we have to lie....it just shows we can't be so perfect....At times we have to lie just to please the other person when we have ulterior motives....but others prefer the truth than those lies they get....It's never ok to lie but we always lie because we want to show how good we are and how ok things are even if they aren't....
I just find this photo sooo cute^^
A friend told me to visit this fun website http://www.fmylife.com/and I like it^^
[Source: "ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN" by Robert Fulghum. See his web site at http://www.robertfulghum.com/ ]ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN
(a guide for Global Leadership)
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:
- Share everything.
- Play fair.
- Don't hit people.
- Put things back where you found them.
- Clean up your own mess.
- Don't take things that aren't yours.
- Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
- Wash your hands before you eat.
- Flush.
- Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
- Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
- Take a nap every afternoon.
- When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
- Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
- Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
- And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
Today I thought about my shortcomings....I also thought about the people who somehow had influenced me on my decisions in the past....I guess the "I" factor had played a huge role in me....in changing me or making me a better individual.....One important lesson I learned too is not to throw away my roots, my culture.....No matter how I tried to blend with others.....still I shouldn't forget who I really am inside.....
