Yes, I'd like to cook pasta for you
When you asked me a long time ago what I would like to eat when we go out on a date, I said I love to eat pasta. You know why I chose it? I’ll tell you why…
It has been a rule in dating (and I’ve read it…) never to order pasta on a date. Why you might ask. Understandbly, it is rather quite difficult to eat if you don’t know the proper way as what my friend Sonia...
praevalet illicita by Karen Pioquinto
perhaps, it now comes to me,
that was the attraction of it.
the off-kiltered sense of predestiny
that circled this chipped idea
made whole by cups of adventure
we offered each other those few fleeting times.
it is likely that the keenness
was heightened by favors filched
from trusted confidants
and by the lightheadedness
that comes from defiance.
the likelihood made me cringe--
now, only...
DEAD STARS (for Paz Marquez Benitez) by H.O....
If I still think of her today
Why didn't I tell her long ago?
I could have saved all wondering
For I'd have peace if I did know.
If I had learned of metaphors
Before I wondered 'bout the stars
Would I have written verses then
And worshipped Venus instead of Mars?
If I had found my tongue could rhyme
Would I have shown a face sans mask,
A heart unsure? But woe is me--
I'll never know, I...

Any Woman Speaks (By A.M. Gloria)
Half of the world's true glamour
Is held--you know by whom?
Not by the gilt Four Hundred
Parading in perfume,
Nor by the silvered meteors
That light the celluloid sky--
But by these eyes that called you,
Blind fool who passed me by!
Conversation
“I’ll never love again…” “just words… you’ll never stop falling.” _______________ The world has given and it has taken more and more from me. So i’d like to live and let myself be and remove these lingering thoughts in my head – to run as freely and breathe the worries confining and fettering me. I’d like to cast-off every shadows enfolding my sanity - and get a glimpse of love and of life and...
Three Words by Caravaggio
One of my favorite readings contributed by Caravaggio from the column “In a Rage” in Peyups.com
_________________________________________________________
The three words that mean the most aren’t “I love you”, with its history of being an accomplice to lies, with its bad reputation as a myth. What is “I love you” but the easy way out, the secret weapon revealed at the ends of...
Walk by Your Side by Angel
It doesn’t matter anyway because people have a way with dreaming and believing and inventing words like forever that seem to liberate us from a brief existence that begins to count down the moment we’re born and only stops short at the first kiss of the same short lived romance.
It doesn’t matter because we could always romanticize. Even the most concrete science of matter...

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable....”
– Neil Gaiman
IT DOESN’T MATTER TO ME WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING. I want to know what you ache for., and if you dare of meeting your heart’s longing.
IT DOESN’T INTEREST ME HOW OLD YOU ARE. I want to know if you would risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventures of being alive.
IT DOESN’T INTEREST ME WHICH PLANETS ARE SQUARING WITH YOUR MOON. I want to know if...

The Alchemist
And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have on meaning. Santiago meets...

Embrace Bad News
fringeelements:
Embrace bad news, as it is the information you need to improve yourself. Thank people you thought you knew for committing crimes against you, as by revealing themselves they have shown you who not to value. Thank the people who destroy the ideas you held familial, as they are showing you what not to believe. Embrace intellectual recessions and swallow those bitter pills, truth...

Understanding Atheism and other things
I was never a strict or fundamental Catholic. I don’t believe about some of the teachings of the church. I do practice going to the church and praying to God when I feel like it but I pray whenever and where ever I want. Simply put, I’m a non-practicing Catholic.
I try to keep an open mind about other religions and principles especially atheism. I’ve been reading different...

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you...
A Walk By Your Side
Lord, I must have set foot in the most unchartered land because each encounter and every life is filled with so much meaning, so much purpose, so much beauty beyond phrases and figures known. That I could write a thousand poems, a thousand lines, a thousand songs until I run out of words and all the world dissolves but still nothing comes close.
And nothing would ever come close to your name...
Too tired to fight...
The more you get older, the more likely you are less to fight. You get less and less time to rage against the dying of the light.
Ga
More often that not I lose sight of things that matter most. But you’re always there to show me that there are things more precious than gold - things that cannot be touched but can be felt by the heart. And I thank you because you’re you. Even though you would want to be better for me, I wouldn’t have you any other way.
I love you v(-.-)v
Id Like to Teach the World to Sing
I’d like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves
Chorus:
I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
(That’s the song I hear)
I’d like to see the world for once
(Let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand
And hear...

Opposite views
I dont really like it when people would post these kinds of posts on their blogs because it doesn’t educate but spreads hate or distrust of one religion or principle towards another. It also creates a certain frenzy that undermines the value we hold most dear.
that’s my boyfriend’s, btw :)

LE FESTIN by Camille
This is from the movie RATATOUILLE…
Les rêves des amoureux sont comm’(e) le bon vin Ils donn(ent) de la joie ou bien du chagrin Affaibli par la faim je suis malheureux Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie L’espoir est un plat bien trop vite consommé A sauter les repas je suis habitué Un voleur solitaire est triste à nourrir A un jeu si amer je n’peux...
