storytime

zaiid and i treasure our storytime - it's our lovelovelove time. but before we begin, let me take a photo of us. i just can't get enough of me and you...

which life are you?

is your life calculated by what music you listen to, by the taste you have in fashion, by the circle of friends you keep? should there be a need to be extra crispy, advert-like shout out to the world so everyone can see how unique you are, how youthful you still are? no matter how some of us may want life to be as high-saturated, pop-cultured in the most realistic sense, at the end of the day we are still bound to the call of being true to ourselves.

i think we all have the responsibility to keep ourselves happy in a way where others become happier with us. our existence itself should dictate the story of your lives.

so which one are you? original or manipulated? :)



(the first photo is a manipulation rendered out of my boredom in the office.)

we're having our baby number 2!

I would like to formally announce that (with a magical positive sign in my hand) we're having our baby number 2! Yey! Another pudding to love! This time it's not only going to be just MY tummy adventure, it's also zaiid's adventure as he becomes a babykuya. My husband and I are excited for that additional messy fun love.

Im keeping this short because I'm all smiles :)

will you come and take my paradise?

just a boring afternoon at the office.
missing my zaiid, wanting to go to sleep. after a year and 7 months, i write:

can you see through your broken mirror
the parts missing, coming, taking
away from the thoughts begging you to
whisper it's name, again you look through them

last night the moon shut its eyes
like the way you shut yours when you dream
far away beyond your trunk of memories
of seas and waves that might bring us back

my intention of taking you again
to eat you and sleep with you does not count
at all. nor can the wind hear my words
across the melody of my lips and tongue.

you do not own me nor do i owe you.
we live on the same forest and you call it
your home even with snakes at sight
i am part of your universe.

i will take you again and sing songs with you
if you will take me and dance above
that purple-doubt flower that's withering.
will you come and take my paradise?
