Sometimes, we think that we should leave the people we are closely attached to, romantically, brotherly/sisterly, or in whatever form of bond. It usually happens when we see and feel that things no longer work the way they do before, and when things don't turn out good.
It becomes difficult to stay in exactly the same situation with a person you know. There must be progression. Signs like wavering of relationships and bond only indicate progression. We cannot stay forever in our old ways. We must learn how to handle the new things and the changes in others. It doesn't mean that we should break away from the people we love. We should just progress with them.
Well, in the mean time, while you're pondering the point above, let me share a little something more for you to ponder on. Let's just say, "what if...". Let's imagine... ;)
Am I Ready To Give You Away?
Am I ready to give you away
To some place farther
Where you can surely stay
And where you'll feel better?
Is it worth the cost
To put you where you belong
Is it for the better cause
To just leave you along?
Tonight I ask myself again
Not sure what I should do
Am I ready to carry on the pain
My greatest dream, my you?

The Cost of Goodbye
Sometimes, we try to make ourselves fit where we really couldn't. Sometimes, we insist on fighting for something that isn't really for us. In the end, we only lose. And, if we don't, we gain nothing. It only tells us that the best option is to say goodbye. A new and greener ground is waiting. It is only waiting for our looking.
We might not know it but we have the tendency to push ourselves to something or somewhere that we don't really belong to. The reason is because we fear that we might not be left with anything to accept us. What we don't know is that our perfect place is only waiting for us.
We were made to fear almost about anything in life. It caused us to do silly things. In reality, however, there is a lot in store for us. It only gets complicated when where we presently put ourselves in begins to reject us, we have a hard time accepting because we got used to it already.
A natural reaction of the body to foreign elements (e.g. cough, choking, etc.) is to eject it. Much is the same for us in this world. If we could only look at it as a friendly way of telling us that we aren't there yet... But when has rejection ever been enjoyable anyway?
We fear. And, what sole way there is to solve it? You find out... ;)
The Cost of Goodbye
Sometimes, it's difficult
To let go of that smile
And of the streams of giggles
That you've always yearned for
Sometimes, it's hard
To give up on the good times
And on the dreams you've built
That you've ever hoped for
But sometimes, too
The only way left
Is the way down there
Where it undeniably stings
But sometimes, too
I seems all wasted
The time and love alike
When it inevitably hurts
And sometimes, too
You just have to pay
The simple but dreary
Cost of goodbye
After these times
When all had been over
And tears have bid their bye
Your eyes gently open
After these times
When you've learned a lesson
And when you're made stronger
You see a new door open
If ever I fall and cry again
It'd be worth the try
This time I'd pay again
The cost of goodbye

SINONG MAY PLERK??? (TRANSLATED: PLURK)
ADD NIYO AKO!!! HAHAHA!!!
Here's my link: http://www.plurk.com/mdtsendon
Wala lang. I realized that I need to record/document sudden and spontaneous thoughts. I had a similar site before, projectexperience, but I rarely use it and I only have a few local friends. :'(
Salamat!!! *sinister laugh* >:))

The Church is Undeniably Just Such A Blessing... :)
I'm so thankful that I was able to go to church and hear the message today. Aww. Hahaha. Everything's different to me na. After all the changes, it's really odd (as to what I'm referring to, I'll be keeping it to myself).
I just want to document myself saying that I really am fortunate, lucky, and more appropriately blessed to have been able to attend. Attend means much more than just the physical presence. You get more out of it. You receive the outpouring of grace.
I just perfectly had the lesson that I was looking for. Surely, everything I ask goes not unanswered. I'm equipped for tomorrow. May I continually be. ;)

The Swallow of the Morn and Night
Sometimes, we feel lost. Sometimes, things we do are very much routinary. Sometimes, things around us that happen don't make any sense. To add to that more, sometimes, we just hate the whole of the day and all in it.
There must be some reason why we sometimes feel that way. We all need purpose. Without purpose, we are like a beheaded rooster with only little time left to move our feet. There is uncertainty.
I chose swallows to represent my persona because it completely epitomizes routinary (if there's such a word) life. They represent fragility and carefree-ness. Their eyes, too, amaze me, as their fleeting life also does.
I've dedicated this poem before for somebody whom I've observed was really, really empty. I think that this time, I should be dedicating this one to myself. :))
The Swallow of The Morn and Night
In the skies of white
It lunges from its lair
It poses to take flight
And glides in the air
It comes out, appears
From its hollow nest
To banish all its fears
And to find real rest
From a long way
It here today has come
Fled from being prey
Seeks home all this time
In the silence of its land
It ponders on its quest
It's vision, fragile, grand
Has seen east to west
Every morn and night
It doesn't stop nor pause
I hope it sees its light
And someday find its cause
I'm grateful that I'm no swallow. Thanks to God for all that... :)

The Smiling Pretender
These verses are just about humility and the praise of them. Humility entitles people with praise and rewards more than pride can give. :)
Look on below and read a simple and short story of humility. :)
The Smiling Pretender
He rejects with all his might
The praise that he all harbors
He giggles in the night
And braces in the fervor
He's king of denial
When it comes to his titles
But when he's sentimental
He keeps humble superlatives
The smiling pretender he's
Great in hiding light
But what he doesn't know is
Fire burns, comes out
Now this little captive
Is revealed to all
No longer will deceive
Will answer to his call
The days of pretense over
Masks hand-down at last
The mister has returned all after
With face in glimmer blast

The Adventurer
Aww, this one's a classic. I've written this year at about some time last year. Haha. I like this one because it tells of a story of chivalry, journey, and strength. I hope you get to like it too!
A journey of different images and endless joys in the pain, smiles, and flashes of medieval chivalry, and the stories that never end. That is how life's steps are. That is how I see it.
I may add more to lines in the future as I'm enjoying it. :)
He looks from afar
And sees how much he tread
He smiles at the war
At how much he's defeated
His adventurer feet ain't tired
He's not yet reached his goal
He'll go on with his ride
And climb the highest wall
In every fight he emerges from
He bleeds, he breaks, he shouts
Yet he survives to see the morn
And heals when in the shrouds
Awake, he is, he goes on
Sees the dawn, a light
This glimpse of east from the sun
Keeps him on the fight
More stories untold of him
Lie in wait, excited
The way that he writes his dreams
Makes me, you, ever delighted

The Deep
Sometimes, a person's depth goes unnoticed. But, there are times that it finally gets the attention that it so rightfully deserves. Sometimes, there are friends who sacrifice and bears the burdens of others. Sometimes, there are people who show you that they're okay and outwardly smile, but deep inside, they're holding something really heart-tearing. It's just that they don't have the luxury of spilling them out to you because it'll tear you apart too.
We are in need of friends -- people who can be there for you. We've been hearing the quote "no man is an island" over and over again. But this time, it really makes sense, doesn't it?
The Deep
Oh, I have this friend
Who always has a smile
And I'm grateful for that
It sheds me a mile
In my daily life
Of personal travel
I ask myself how
Can someone, for you, be there?
This is in light of the one
Who has been all-smiles
How you keep simple
And joy in others' flight
Cos you are the deep
And you are the blue
Who sheds inside tears
And bleeds for others, true
What you do not know
Is that there's a call at night
That sings your lullaby's
Rewards a gift of white

This Friend of Mine
Sometimes, friends from afar (literally) emote. They do. Hahaha. Sometimes, they don't. Well, at the times that they do, they feel inferior and worthless. That happens most especially when they see the gifts of other people that they [think] they don't have.
Well, to oppose that thought that only creates fear and anxiety, I've made a little something for a particular friend. May this dispel that fear. :)
This Friend of Mine
This little friend of mine
Made a simple request
Something worth remembering
Something that could express
Something that doesn't really
Happen that much usually
And for that, I think I owe him/her
Even if it sounds silly
A little something out
Of my unlimited stash
I can give him/her even if
It appears that it's not that much
However, there's a twist
Cos I consider this as art
I wanna say that this
Also came from my heart
So here's a little message
To my dear friend afar
Stay safe and blissful
I'm near wherever you are :D

You Accept Me
Just a little something for archiving. Haha. Sorry, it's sucky!
You Accept Me
You accept me
You embrace me
Despite that I do you wrong
You draw me to your side
I know not what I have
I have nothing that's of worth
But you tell me something new
I haven't seen inside
I couldn't imagine how
You could cross my path
But with your simple smile
I'm convinced I could fly
Then again I try
To comprehend just how
You defined my life
I'm grateful you're here right now

I Wish You Knew
After quite some time, I'm finally able to write verses again. Antagal na 'rin ah! ;)
This one is very much self-explanatory. I don't often try to write too complex and brain-twisting ones as it is a bit difficult to do so. Haha. It takes a lot of philosophy than creativity, spontaneity, and inspiration to write those kind of poems. This is less apparently less philosophical than most that cross my mind which I usually don't happen to get to write at the end of the day anyway. :)
I Wish You Knew
I have been keeping this
Thing that I feel inside
I dream for your kiss
And yearn to be by your side
Whenever we're together
I put up a poker face
Our eyes meet on air
I don't want to end my gaze
When you're at your back
I'm tempted to embrace
In you I've no lack
My heart pounds in fast pace
I cant' keep nor stay
Just like this forever
I hope that soon, one day
I'll be in your surrender
Oh how I wish you knew
What I feel inside
That all I feel for you
Makes my world collide
Then you smile at me
When I thought it's over
A thing I'd die to see
Now I begin to wonder
I'm left with much thinking
The thoughts you seem to hide
Now I am pondering
What you feel inside
So, that's just about it! Sorry ah, 'yan lang nagawa ko. Hahaha! :))

Could I Only Look?
Sometimes there's this thought that the people around you obtain happiness and you're left out. Those "sometimes" are a reality. It happens. Those feelings really eat through you at times. I guess it's just that there are reasons why. It tells you that something's wrong. It's such a feeling of inferiority and worthlessness... but is it ever true that people can lose their worth? I don't think so.
At times that I feel so, I know one thing: I am of worth. I know that what I feel is the exact of opposite of truth. Feelings often deceive me anyway. This just leads me to a safe conclusion that I AM OF WORTH...
Anyway, just allow me to let go of those feelings. Treat the following as a work of art instead... and, if possible, something to learn from. ;)
Could I Only Look?
A lot is happening around me
Time takes its steps and things change
My eyes are difficult to see
As I'm getting older and older through the days
People smile and their faces shine
Babes learn how to speak, they obtain might
Happiness overwhelms them in the divine
Men and women reach great heights
Yet here I am with a thought unknown
Without a clue of where I'm headed
Could I only look at their renown
Left with nothing to rejoice at?

A Comment About Tracy Borres [Hate] Posts
I've read this several months ago. Tracy was wrong. Done. Aside from that, I think that people who can only see the wrong of Tracy and who can only point their fingers at her are somewhat mistaken about the notion of good and evil.
We all make mistakes. If people could only see how their own wrongs are no different to Tracy's -- well, it's just their luck for being spared of the shame that Tracy has gone to. But, it's the other way around. We all make mistakes but only a few of us go through such a dark point of shame and judgment by others. The rest who don't have the deceiving luxury of being free from criticism. Thus, they stay the same. The wrong inside remains and they leave their stations like nothing happened -- like they're invincible and they're perfect.
We are all the same. People who do wrong, are put to shame and are downcast, and later realize and admit their mistakes are essentially in a more fortunate situation than people who can only see the wrongs of others and not their selves'.
The moment I've read an article about her in my email (sent through groups), I got curious about what the fuzz was about. I read her blog with curious intent. It was really controversial. I read on, but I was looking for something more. Maybe I just wanted to understand what's written. But, aside from that, I also wanted to understand Tracy more than what she had written. Let's say that I'm not just comfortable with prejudging paradigms and shallow understanding that people usually do.
People who can readily judge others are the ones who haven't really seen deeper into their selves and their mistakes. That is difficult because pointing fingers at others gets harder when we possess more things to be pointed out at than they do. The lesson is, before we again talk about the mistakes of others, let's just make sure first that we have nothing to be pointed at. That way, we lose more and more reasons to hate others. The more we do, we have more and more space in hearts to give for love and understanding to occupy.
A new hope and a second chance for the Tracy in all of us... ;)

Get over this, people! You’re out-dated. You’re fighting over a fight that is long [fought and] over. There are more things in this world that we need to worry about.
The simple fact that you might (only probably MIGHT) have a better reaction than she does is enough for you to stop blabbing and minding other people’s business.

Q. Without birth control, won't the world become overpopulated? (A Repost)
A. Contraceptives are not needed to plan family size. In Calcutta NFP has proven to be a practical alternative that works effectively. The British Medical Journal reported, “Indeed, a study of 19,843 poor women in India [practicing NFP to delay pregnancy] had a pregnancy rate approaching zero.”[1]
But is there an overpopulation problem? Especially in the 1960s and 1970s, people feared that the world’s population would soon outstrip its resources. Books predicted that the earth would run out of natural resources, such as gas, lead, and petroleum. Widespread catastrophes were feared, and some predicted that hundreds of millions of Americans would starve to death. Indeed, the world saw an exponential growth in population in the 1900s. However, much of this was a result of advances in medicine. Because the average life expectancy was lengthened, there were more people alive than ever before.
Now life expectancies have begun to level out, and although the population continues to increase, the 1970s doomsday predictions have faded away. In fact, many countries are now facing economic difficulties as a result of underpopulation.[2] Global fertility and birth rates have been rapidly decreasing for more than twenty-five years.[3] Almost every developed country in the world has a below-replacement fertility rate.[4] The fertility rate of developing nations tends to be higher, but according to the United Nations Population Division, between 2005 and 2050, the worldwide number of children (persons under fifteen) will decline.[5]
While some people predicted that there would be too many children, others feared that humans would run out of space. However, humans occupy only 1 to 3 percent of the Earth’s surface. If you gathered every human being on Earth, we would all fit in Jacksonville, Florida. If everyone moved to Texas, each person would have more than a thousand square feet in which to live.[6] This provides more living space than people have in San Francisco and only slightly less than they have in the Bronx.[7]
The problem is not a lack of space but an unjust distribution of resources. One researcher noted that “according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, world food supplies exceed requirements in all world areas.”[8] Besides, farmers use less than half of the land that can be used for agriculture. Human poverty is the result of bad economic policy and corrupt governments, not overpopulation. (For more on this, click here.)
