The Holy Days

Christmas time is in the air and the commerce of the season is just too much!

Thank goodness I'm in the middle of a long sort'a kind'a break...

It all started with last Fridays's Eid of our Muslim brothers but on the eve of that, I joined my wife's cousin and family for a Thanksgiving dinner which was of course attended by almost 2 dozens of family members. A Filipino gathering plus a Pinoy-US permanent resident aunt and cousin dinner won't be complete without the mean machine : Videoke machine!

Saturday, Sunday and Monday went by like a wink of an eye, thanks to loads of family life.

Tuesday, that is today everyone is in school and I'm left here all alone. I have finished last night the final episode of the video game Plants versus Zombies and heck, it's double the effort compared to playing 1 minute chess games.

Tomorrow, our school is still closed but I'll give chess lesson to my newest student, Heinzi then by eleven in the morning, me and the gang: Ricky, Sherwin, Renan, Gary will go south at Mr. Em's studio and rehearse a couple of songs for our Talent Show by December 17. We'll be playing three songs and I don't know yet the final cut but for sure we'll have to enjoy the bonding as much as the music.

I'll be off in awhile and I have borrowed a couple of classics from my mom's movie collection (Fiddler on The Roof,  A Streetcar Named Desire) and at least 5 NBA DVD's from my very special brother Jay's Collection.

I have quit San Mig Light and all the night life it brings but I have never enjoyed life without the following:

1. Wife and kids
2. A good book
3. Prayers
4. Chess games and everything it gives
5. A good movie (alone or with wifey)
6. Basketball games (whether it's me on the floor or I'm on the sidelines)
7. Blogging
8. Mafia Wars
9. Ice Cream
10. Students around

Oh well!

16 year old GM Wesley of Bacoor Cavite is the golden nugget of the World Chess Cup 2009. I hope he reaches the top of the tournament.

Bye for now my beloved fellow bloggers and readers!

Catching Fire

This is the sequel of The Hunger Games. It continues the story of Katniss Everdeen of district 12, Panem. I shall not spoil the story. This book dwells more to the political and freedom issues of the country. It also makes the story complicated for the love triangle.
I finished this book in half a day. I only put the book down when I needed to go to the bathroom. If Hunger Games blew my mind up. Catching Fire made my heart explode into countless pieces because of the thrilling turns that happen.

The Hunger Games

Ever heard of it? Probably not. But if you're a close friend of mine, you probably heard me blah about it for some time. I read the book about 5 days ago. No exaggerating but, I finished the book in two days. My head practically exploded.
The story is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen, who lives in post-apocalyptic America, which is called Panem in the book. Panen has 12 districts which specialize in one product. For example, District 12 (the district which Katniss lives in) mines for coal. And every year, they have an event called the Hunger Games. One girl and one boy (aged 12 - 18) from each district is randomly chosen to battle each other in an arena. Only one will become the victor.
It has, not only action, but romance too. There are also cheesy bits, but it is presented in a realistic way. But in this book, I was so inspired at how the characters would do anything for their loved one. Whether it is unconditional or not. The main character can somehow give me courage because she is so brave and bold in the way that she stands up for her family.
The story has action scenes that make your heart beat faster. I just kept turning pages that I didn't realize that I was halfway through the book. It is easy to get attached to the characters too. Especially Peeta. Oh my gosh. I can't wait for the third book. :(

Changed.

Why is it that I felt so happy when I was around you? Was it your remarkable personality? Your looks? Or were you just easy for me to hang out with than the rest? I felt deeply warm in my body's center;the energy that fueled me to be motivated in everything I do whenever I saw your unforgettable face. We've faced countless trials, and facilitated our differences to make us compatible with one another. We consoled each other, we managed each other, and we loved each other through thick and thin. Whatever the conflict, you were always there, and so was I. We were inseparable, and nothing others had were comparable to ours. Ours was a unique bond, a priceless moment. That was our love.

But everything changed when you left me for another.

Break.

Break ;)

She was still upset when they started passing notes in the middle of class. She starts to pass the note because she couldn't figure out what he was trying to say. They are both doing their work but at the same time, they are passing the piece of paper. She asks a question and he gives her this unforgettable smile. Innocent eyes that can fool everyone who tries to look deep inside. With curling lips that looks pristine yet a hint of deceit can be still seen. This image stays with her the rest of the day. And the more she thinks about it, the faster the memory fades...

Colosseum

The grandiose wall slowly comes forth,
A fantastic light shines from behind.
The stadium's surrounded with velveteen tapestry,
An age-old battle is about to commence.

Newly-shined spears and bladed shields,
With the divine protection of the gods,
Pierce the opposition and terminate the threat,
And with all your devoted might.

Bested by thee, or the other way around,
A winner you are to become every time.
The everlasting grace of the deities has saved you,
Time for a celebration; a feast fit for a king!

Love Endemic♥

Today, I heard ALOT of music that are just right for hot sunday afternoons.

The time when you are lying on your bed and its summer. The radio is turned on, and then trees lazily sway with the wind, just in the right rhythm as the song that is being played.
During my childhood, this was the scenario during every summer of mine. Usually sundays, but it can be any day of the week, just as long as there is no school.
My dad would force me to sleep. But I can't. He says to just close my eyes.
Then miraculously, I fall asleep with that music in the background.

I truly miss you and you're the only thing I want for Christmas.

i can't seem to forget on how i sat there watching with my eyes wide open...... silence...... eager.... then moments passed it started, i squealed softly. minutes later, he showed up. screams beside me therefore i screamed louder, not embarrassed, no afraid. so what? this is a free country right? so i kept watching, until the juicy bits played.... open mouthed as i... saw his biceps, triceps and seconds later abs.. i screamed and squealed at the top of my lungs not afraid to show the world that im happy and proud. later on the ending was was on its way. DAMN cleft hanger, what a bummer, the first part of the credits showed, i scream and said " FREAKING NEWMOON KAKABITIN CAN'T WAIT FOR ECLIPSE, JUNE 30 2010 HERE I COME! "

P.S- i fell inlove with taylor lautner and the movie, im just another girl living inside her fantasies

a drifting memory JPG

i don't know how to react, how to feel or how to fix this problem. at first i argued with you, next we are friends doesn't matter on what we do, we always forgave each other but then this incident you got thrown out, by a false and weak reason. i got mad, yet some happiness occurred. i know it was mean, i know it was bad but how could you not be happy when the evil amongst the evil is thrown out. i smile, and laugh whenever i think about it yet sadness occurs during most of the time. i tend to remember those summers we spend together the happy ones and the sad ones. i know, its confusing isn't it? i can't decide on what to do, to hate or to love this friendship. Sadly, i know you never truly liked me, never really shared things with me and it was annoying and hurt me. but now you're far away, i can't even reach you now. i miss you, i'm scared. i don't know how the world will treat you but i know you can fight for herself i know you can do anything. i just hope what you're doing is right. i hope you think before you act. i miss you my friend my EVIL friend. you, were one hell of an adventure. so now, im saying farewell, i can't do anything about you anymore. you barely talk to me or even say hi. so now i bid you farewell

sincerely yours,

Love Endemic ♥

P-p-p-poker face...

Play your cards and win the keep,
Have a fun night and go to sleep.
Have them confused for days and days,
Because whatever they do, they can't read your poker face.

The Real Eve

Yesterday
I bummed,
I couched
Sunday.

Watched
Discovery TV's
Documentaries about Anomalies
Histories and fairies.

Yesterday
I saw
I heard
"Story of The Real Eve"

Out of Africa
Genetecists theories
Geographers stories
Both agree.

Mitochondrial DNA
Humanities' mother
African
So they say.

No problem with me
I'm Malay
Brown skin, Black hair
Brown eyes

European's pride
A lot of disguise
Got hurt
Got burned

One DNA
One mother
One Race
One Humanity.

From Africa
To Asia
Then Australia
China, Mongolia

Arrived at Europe
With Neanderthals in Neander Valley
Of Germany
So many

Finally
America
The last hurrah!

i gave myself a break. ♥

first of all i would like to say sorry, to my friends who reads to my friends who write.
i've been tired, sick and annoyed with life. which made me feel so lame and lonely.
not being emo, okay? i'm just expressing out this feeling i have. ready to read? so here i go.

i never thought that i would think these slightest little meaningless things.
it's annoying me on how people get what they want, and i don't.
people experience love from the people they love unlike me, i loves him yet, he loves a girl from afar.
i never thought i would feel this way about the three syllable dude. but now i recovered. yet, i am still blank, i dont know how i feel. celebrated by birthday with bunch of friends. bought alot of stuffs yet, it still didn't made me as much as you call happy. all i want is now to have a boyfriend who loves me for who i am. yeah, peopl say we are young, but adults doesn't know how it feels, how it makes a young teenager feel so happy. i know it's stupid but know i like this dude, he's short not my type, yet he cathces my attention. he makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and makes me smile all the time. that i guess is the only happy thing that happened to me these past three weeks. another thing that made me laugh is that my sir made me team up with the wrong guy in class. i rather pick the shawty than three syllabled dude but then again it is my fault, i didnt blog for qite sometime TT
another thing that made me sad i one of my friends who's acting so weird. comming from her is really not humane. i dont really know what happened to her. shes being a flirt to all of my guy friend and whenever i like this person she ughhhhhh... i got so pissed whenever she is like that. but what the heck she is my friend but im starting to hate her so much she thinks shes so cute! fkcu what a pokerface. shes everything i hate now.. you are not cute, guys wont like you, you look so dumb! tsk...
anyways, i think this is long enough. see ya soon

- love endemic -

(you must be warned. This is a girl's point of view ^^)
You get a bucket of greasy mouthwatering cheese popcorn from the counter after you pay. Of course this comes with a large coke. Then you walk your way toward the big doors with your friends on the great carpet floor. You give the pretty smiling lady a ticket. A ticket to the biggest movie you have been waiting all year long. yup. its just new moon.

Then you settle on your seat, making a few adjustments on who will be sitting beside who. Everyone hushes down and the lights go out. Then, your stomach feels weird, as if you want to go to the bathroom that instant. But you don't.

long story short. squealing + hushes + laughs + hands over your eyes/mouth/cheek + cheesy lines + hot buff guys = new moon
hahahahaha. im just another girl who squealed in the movie.

Once.

1. Once, you were the love at first sight
Now, you told me without me, you're light*.

2. Once, you told me you loved me,
Now, you traded me for somebody.

3. Once, you were the personification of my dreams,
Now, you're just a nightmare, it seems.

4. Once, you gave me gifts, and so did I,
Now, everything with you is an eye for an eye.

5. Once, I was your only crying shoulder,
Now, I'm just another file in your folder.

6. Once, I was the one who carried you,
Now, I'm just a friend for you to talk to.

7. Once, you felt the same, and so did I,
Now, whenever you show, I start to cry.

8. Once, I was the needle in a haystack,
Now, you threw me 'cause I started to crack.

9. Once, I drew a picture of you and me,
Now, it's in half. You kept the half without me.

10. Once, we decided that we loved each other,
Now, you decided that I wasn't your endeavor.

Scars that never felt a wound

This is a collaboration between Ethan Ching, a friend of mine, and me.

Adam is aspiring to become one of the best lawyers in New York City. Everything was going well at his job but he wasn’t at the top yet; although he was recognized as a very good lawyer. One day he was assigned this big. He knew that if he could break this case that he would be known as one of the best lawyers in New York City. He was assigned to the case of this girl named Delilah, he was briefed that there was a murder in her neighborhood and when the cops arrived there she was unconscious with a gun in her hand.

Adam asked to speak to Delilah, as she entered the room he was immediately captivated by her beauty. Adam dove right into it and asked her side of the story. Delilah explained that her uncle was the one who framed her. She explained that her parents died when she was 5 and since then her legal guardian was her only uncle. It turns out that her grandfather on her mother’s side was very old already and her and her uncle found out that he was gonna leave her a huge amount of money. So one night she was at her grandfather’s house, all she could remember was that her uncle and her grandfather was there with her. Next thing she knew she woke up to sirens and cops around her. She looked to her hand and saw a gun; she looked to her left and saw her grandfather dead. After the story Adam took some more time to get to know Delilah. As every minute passed he found it harder and harder to convict this magnificent girl to death.

Adam next asked to talk to the uncle. The uncle came in and immediately sat down and told Adam that if he could convict his niece that he could make Adam the most well-known lawyer in the entire United States. Also he would pay him a hefty amount of money if he could accomplish that task. Adam looked Delilah’s uncle straight in the eye as he slowly considered his offer. On one hand Adam could achieve his life long dream, but on the other hand he knew that there was something there between him and Delilah.

It has been 6 years since that trial. 6 years since Adam had to make that difficult decision between his career and the girl he loved. Every single day Adam wonders if he made the right choice. Every day he wonders what might have been; but everyday he wakes up beside Delilah and he knows that he made the right decision. So what if he didn’t become the most known lawyer in New York City, so what, he knows that every time he gets to hold Delilah his true dream comes true.

The Night The Stars Fell

Leonids,
Where were you all?
Shooting stars,
Did you hide last night?

Inhabitants
Of the Northern Hemisphere,
Went out and gazed up
But where were you?

Meteor storm
I waited.
Meteor storm
Nothing came

I didn't see
I didn't see
Nothin!

Greatest Sky Show

Tonight is the night of all nights!

Just look up and the heavens will give us the greatest show ever... Let's pray the weather permits and our own body clocks too.

Here are some sites you should hit before hitting the roofs: Leonid Meteor Shower 2009, Science@NASA, National Geographic PERSEIDS PICTURES and Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Administration.

PACMAN Kills Mayweather Jr.

Seven world titles in seven different divisions, who can topple that record? He is the first ever in the world to achieve this feat. No Muhammad Ali nor Sugar Ray Leonard can even have that bragging rights!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is damn scared to fight Manny Pacquiao on the ring! He is damn scared!

Congratulations to Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao for a demolition job he did against Miguel Cotto!

Floyd are you ready to rumble?

2012

What is it about this year that everyone's getting so hyped up about? Anyway, just watched the movie, and I really wish THAT didn't happen...

World's MOST

This would have to be the list of The World's MOST in so many ways, aren't you scared?

Imagine if you pluck the First 15 on the list brainstorm on how they can actually further their monopoly of this planet's resources? From crude oil, to manpower to internet usage, I just don't know where we mortals will go if they decide to wipe all the resources off our reach.

Scary!

Fixed!

I've finally fixed my sleeping issues. Yay :)

Onto the bed I drop down; the covers embrace,
After a day of fun, laughter and the teenage craze.
Sweet dreams I wish for, but not a nightmare,
I don't want to wake up with a ghastly stare D:

Gift from the heavens

Love Endemic and Delilah Lior on a quest to solve the mysteries of this world. They were searching, but had little luck. They were extremely tired and very famished too. Suddenly, from the darkness of the unknown came a mighty being with a dotted box that smelled heavenly for Love Endemic and Delilah.

By great chance, the mighty being was very kind so he gave them the dotted box. Love Endemic and Delilah gratefully accepted. The dotted box gave them great energy to start exploring the world again.

And so, thanks to the mighty being, Love Endemic and Delilah will spread the kindness and love.


Thanks Sir! :D

Let's play a game!

A story-telling game, to be exact! One must simply make up a paragraph containing events and such, and another blogger must comment. Yeah, don't make multiple posts, it would just be cluttered and such. So anyway, comment the next part of the story.

Ready? Start!

"In a quaint little village deep in the forest lived a girl named Christine. Christine never went to school, never saw tall skyscrapers. She's never even seen cars, or any mode of transportation. All they ever did was walk, and when it's body of water, they swim. Yes, Christine had such a peaceful and simple life. Until one day..."

Oooohhh, what happens next?! That's up to you!

Oh well, see ya later!

~ Slifer Demetri

"Until one day... Christine and her friends walked into a jungle. Now this jungle was so different from the rest of what we know as a jungle. This place looks so peaceful, sounds so peaceful and appears to be inhabited by higher form of life..."

A Poem From My Heart

it's been weird lately,
i really don't know, surely.
why does these tears fall upon my cheek?
it's been bothering me, what do i even seek?

it started when the three syllable dude said something,
i thought it wouldn't be anything,
but affected as i am
trembling just like a clam

dang, this feeling so intense and unknown
therefore i dont dont hows it to be shown
GAH is all i could express
with this poem i supress TT

My Dear Posters

My dear posters,

Please add labels to all your poetries with "Closet Poetries".

Thanks!

It's me.

Anna

A little girl - who is not so little anymore,
hiding under her big black blanket.
She is not afraid
of the dark shadows around her
- or the scary boogie man
under her bed
- or the unknowns
from the outside of her window
- or the creepy crawlies on the floor.

It's the sounds again.
coming from the other room.
the shouts of frustration -
the crying and sobbing -
from the voices of such monsters,

that used to be so loving.

Hi guys!

Welcome to November! Anyway, some really creepy bit I've found on this block.

It's about the total post count for September. And guess what, it's eleven. Scary, no? But we musn't forget what happened that day, so yeah.

Knights of the Square Board.

The ranks going to the left,
The files ascending upward.
Diagonals, not the G-cleft.
Make up the chess board.

Anyways, see ya!

~ Slifer Demetri ~

Ho, ho, ho!

In fifty days or so, that day is coming with a boom,
Glittery presents, starry nights, oh I wish it happens soon!

Im Back

got a break
from the world with full of doubts
but now im back im ready to share my experiences
ready to share my knowledge and ready to open my eyes to new ideas ;)
