HAIKU ko

past Haikus written out of inspiration and boredom:

the sound of the sea

bathed in the sparkling moonlight

calmly caress me

(4/7/07)

my elusive love

unreachable as the moon

glowing up above

The Downside of Facebooking

I have been quite busy with Facebook lately. Nope, I don't play games. I just find it tiresome maintaining several sites (FB, Multiply, Blogspot, Twitter, etc). In short, I only concentrated on Facebook, almost forgetting that I have this blogspot to update.

I have a lot to do! May I find time to post all my travels lately (Palawan, Bicol, etc.)

No, I must find time :-)

SUMMER IS HERE!

Summer is my favorite time of the year.  

I am happiest on this season!  I can't wait to hit the beach, get a good tan, and swim endlessly! 

This year, I have plans of going to Bohol (Alona Beach, Panglao Island) and visit the historic sites in the mainland.  Of course, I need to see the Chocolate Hills and the Tarsiers... 

This Holy Week, however, I am going back to Puerto Galera... This is a reunion and ritual of sorts among my ghey friends... hahaha....  Mindoro Sling... here i go again!!! 

See you all! 

World Gold Medal at New York Festivals

I am still in awe and disbelief when I learned about the award -- World Gold Medal, Biographies/Profiles category.  

And today, we were on the Inquirer (Sunday / Jan. 25) and I learned that we beat Christian Amanpour's works for CNN... and another one about Dame Helen Mirren... 

The enormity and the prestige of the award suddenly began to sink in... 

Gosh, what a feat we've achieved!  

Happiness! 

WELCOME 2009...

Another year... 

another opportunity to change, to improve... 

so far, so good...

December Blues...

Christmas season should be merry... 

The city is filled with lights... the people are frantically shopping or going out with friends... 

Parties here and there... music everywhere... 

But this season, i also feel a bit of sadness... of being so alone, amidst the hustle and bustle of everything around me... 

I just have this strange sadness ... because December passes by so fast, then, it's January... another year... another birthday...  another moment to hide away... 

LEISURE AGAINST NATURE...

Golf is probably the stupidest sport (if we can even call it a sport!) ever invented!

I hate golf, simply because of the fact that it destroys the environment just to satisfy the whims of its wealthy players!

A golf course is not just a tiny piece of land... Imagine the number of trees torn down? And imagine the amount of water used everyday to maintain its well-manicured grass?

(from a lush vegetation somewhere in Tagaytay...)

(turned into a playground of the rich... )

And it's not even a sport for all! It is only played by a few who can afford to buy the expensive equipments, to pay the cabbie, and the lofty membership fees! Gosh!!! Why oh why?

This is no doubt a leisure against nature!!!

(Oh well, I think golf should be played in the desert!)

I am definitely not playing Golf in my entire life...
