GRADUATION... again...
just had our grad pictorial in color point. hay. when i wore the toga for my grad pic, naisip ko, "shucks... this is it! gagraduate na kami! am i wearing this black toga for real? shucks... parang kailan lang, yung puti lang ang suot namin..."
hay.
"tilt your head hear, tilt your shoulders there, then smile... best smile pa!... sige pa! kulang ka sa ngiti... ayan! that's it! now hold it... FLASH!"
then right after our formal (toga) and informal (shawl) shots, bihis kami for our creative. binihisan ako ng muslim. ever since i was a kid, kahit sa mga theatrical presentation namin sa church, i always get the role of a muslim. well... the costume was fun! the gay adored his/her creation as he/she looked at me. (hehe.) then punta ulit sa studio A. then pose, pose, pose, FLASH! tilt here, smile there, wacky pose, demure, pa-cute, FLASH!
o diba. first time ko yun. the photographer kept on asking us to smile pa. pero feeling ko parang sagad na ngiti ko. kangawit. hirap palang maging artista. nyehehe!
kasabay ko si glad (she dressed up as 'cleopatra'), orange (tribal costume), veron (showgirl), gay (angel yata sha), gjeff (panday), cezar (...hindi ko alam tawag basta may face paitn sha. mukha siyang cartoon)
hayun... grabe, kapal ng make up. but it was quite satisfying naman. can't wait to see it next week! :)
grabe... graduation na. i don't know, but somehow, i feel excited. sure, my future is a little bit uncertain pa. but i have drawn my suggested timeline. if God wills, i'll follow that timeline.
yung iba kong friends, they're planning to go abroad. ako kaya... will kaya ni Lord na makapag-abroad ako? it would be fun! pero mas masaya kung kasama ko family ko. hm... i'll wait for God's go signal.
hay... graduation. *ngiti*

childlike bliss
just like a child
i run and play
with boistrous joy
i laugh all day
just like a child
i dance in the rain
get soaked and all
till i get all stained
just like a child
i gaze up at the moon
wondering if i
can reach it by balloon
just like a child
i lie on the grass
make forms and shapes
as each cloud pass
just like a child
i get scared too
especially when
the owls start to "whooo"
just like a child
i get stumble and fall
wounded and bleeding
i cry out my all
just like a child
i am small and meek
in this big world
i am fragile and weak
but just like a child
to my Father i run
when darkness swallow
the light from the sun
just like a child
on her Father's eyes
He wipes away the tears
and hear all my cries
just like a child
i hug Him tight
as He gently lead me
back into the light
just like a child
i find my safe haven
in the arms of my Father
up above in Heaven
just like a child
i trust in Him
He is my Father
and i love Him.
-arra- :)

once upon a time, a girl named summer
lived in splendor and wonder
she made the birds twitter and the rushing river
creation was alive as ever
she made the trees at its fullest lush
praised the blossoms until they blush
touched the butterflies as they gently brush
for one moment till they fly in a rush
but there came a time
she had receded from her prime
rang did the wind of time
saying goodbye with a sad chime
summer slowly slipped away
the greens became brown in decay
drifting clouds slowly turned gray
goodbye summer, may you come back I pray
autumn came
in her graceful body frame
slowly walked like a gentle dame
silent as a lamb that is very tame
but along with her was loneliness
trailing at the end of her rust-colored dress
her eyes so gentle yet filled with sadness
she touched anything with longing caress
until the whole world turned reddish brown
just like the color of her light lace gown
flowers shed their petals down
creatures hid in their shelters with a frown
cold wind blew so gently
as autumn waited by a pond quietly
for the next maiden that would terribly
envelope snow around the world entirely
came winter in a glass ball
from the high sky she gently fall
this maiden that is next in call
to reign the nature above them all
autumn did not say goodbye
she quietly left whispering, "why
does this world have to lie
beneath this freeze... oh why?"
winter... she's so white and cold
turned everything into one big mold
each snowflake obeyed when told
to fall, to cover, to take on hold
for some time, the world soundly slept
beneath the snow they were safely kept
but even though they stayed in the depth
life beneath slowly crept
from the cold crystals of snow
new life will be born, I know
spring would surely glow
life would soon start to flow
as mist started to fade
winter began to bade
a goodbye she uttered and waved
to the white world she had made
along the snow covered ground
came sprouting a bud so proud
little though with the thick snow around
it knows spring is about to bound...
