Shapes and colors make me happy.
I like abstract paintings. I like Picasso. I like solid colors - blue, red, yellow, green and orange. Sometimes I like neon. I like geometric lines and shapes. I'm particularly fascinated with squares. Not so much with waves and unclosed curves. I don't like Baroque-inspired designs. I don't like paintings of the Madonna and Child, farmers in the field, flowers in vases, and fruits in baskets. They hurt my eyes.

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge
That myth is more potent than history.
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death."
~Robert Fulghum, It Was On Fire When I Laid Down On It
****
You Belong to Me
See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me
Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

What's Up
Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Grabe ang bilib ko sa kanyang offensive and defensive moves. Kung dati ay hindi niya mailagan si Morales at palagi siyang tinatamaan, ngayon ay talagang nakakailag siya. Halos hangin na lang ang tinatamaan ni Morales. Hahahaha! Astig talaga si Pacquiao!
But more than anything, bilib ako sa pagkatao niya. Nasorpresa pa niya ako dahil sa kanyang nationalism, GENUINE, CONTAGIOUS NATIONALISM, bagay na halos di na natin nakikita ngayon. It's been a while since I saw the Filipinos ACTUALLY UNITED in spirit. Na iwagayway ang bandilang Pilipinas na may taglay na sense of pride. Na-impress din ako sa kanyang humility. Iba ang pagkaka-describe niya sa pagkapanalo niya. He had the humility (and confidence at the same time) to actually say na he didn't expect to beat Morales by a knockout. Hindi siya arogante. The way he thanked the Filipino people for all the support and prayers, he really remembered who to thank. Isa pa. Muslim ako, pero bilib ako sa pagiging relihiyoso niya. Mula sa paghahanda sa laban hanggang sa mismong laban hanggang sa pagtatapos. Hindi niya nalimutan magdasal, makaalala sa Diyos. At kitang-kita sa pagpapalaki sa kanya, dahil maski nanay niya, relihiyosa din. Bilib ako sa disiplina niya. Disiplinado, pero marunong din mag-"loosen up". Determinado. Masipag. Magaling siya sa ginagawa niya. Kahanga-hanga pa siyang tao. Isang tunay na ehemplo. Go Pacquiao.
On the side:
Medyo nakakainis kung iisipin kung paano sumasawsaw ang corporate world sa kasikatan ni Pacquiao - Alaxan, Surf (DUH!!), etc. Pero ok lang, it's what brought the fight on TV! hehe
Nakakaaliw isipin na nagkaisa talaga ang mga Pilipino this time. Tama nga yung biro, sana palagi tayong nagkakaisa na ganito. Pero kung iisipin, marami naman tayong atleta na dapat ay bigyan din natin ng karampatang atensyon at pagtatanghal. Biglang nawala ang "Hello Garci", naging "Hello Manny" muna ang laman ng balita.
