A quelqu'un de faire moi


One day I went to the top of a foggy mountain... I felt the coldness of the vast space that lies beneath this bottomless pit... Deliriously, I've been in surrender to the beauty of this pain... That is when I decided to jump. But she held me and showed me something on her palm... there I saw the beauty of another life that I have only seen in dreams... A life that I knew that only I have thought of. So, then I jumped inside her palm...

Not knowing that what she held was her heart... Too late, we are now as one... and I am finally happy...

Twins


Almost a year ago, I've attempted the impossible, to bring home a puppy... In our household, I am only allowed to bring home stray kittens, birds, fishes and other low maintenance animals.. and those that are not hazardous to one's health... My dad dislikes dog and whatever my dad dislikes, my mom would soon concede to as well... I brought home a puppy for hopes that if I brought it home without asking permission, they would settle with the idea since it is seldom that I would ask for something... Then, to my disdain, I was turned down and told to return the dog back to its owner... For hopes of salvaging the poor thing, I bought the dog and gave it to my special someone instead since I do not want the idea that I would part from something I really love...
I also do not like dogs but animals seem to have a different effect on me... Sooner or later, my fears would calmly subside and I would begin to care and nurture them... I would even cry if any of my pets would die...
About a month ago, I told my dad that I would adopt another in an extremely sweet manner (knowing me, this is not normal), hoping that maybe this time he would change his mind. But unfortunately, it was my mom who did not like the idea... This time, I gave up knowing that the next time I would own a puppy was when I would live in my own pad...
Today, I was in a state of R.E.M when I was awaken by mom yelling, "dali Candice may ahas!" I was in shock and fear that I woke up since I have never seen a snake in our house before. I jumped out of bed and dashed out of the room when right infront of my eyes, I saw my two sisters cuddling a majestic puppy... I was not sure if I was just dreaming... I stood there in awe and then I've realized that I must have misheard my mom... She must have said "dali Candice may aso..." What made things better was that it was not only one puppy but two that mama bought.... I stood in disbelief how such thing could happen and why the change of heart...They were not the most beautiful puppies in the whole world but it was enough for me to not trade them for anything else... I have so many plans for my two new doggy and God really does know how to surprise people in mysterious ways... :D

A dream


I had a dream last night... Someone discovered that if you took a rubberband and turned it into a slingshot using your pointer and thumb and sling a piece of paper on a windless day, it could travel to a different country. I was curious with such idea and so I did try to fling a few shots... Suddenly it came to mind that a person from far away could be receiving these pieces of paper so I wrote something on these tiny sheets of paper...The sun was setting and it had a glazy shade of pink. I decided to aim at that setting ball of flame. As I did, I aimed and flung a shot and I thought to myself... I hope someone gets it...
There on the paper I worte... "In Manila where the pollution is, I am here...." I wondered what made me write that. Perhaps I wanted people to know that I existed on the other side of the world... But a part of me also wonders, what if my soulmate gets the note and someday we would meet and that person would show it to me... It amazes me how as simple as a note flung to the horizon of the unknown could bring two people together... and then maybe they'd discover that once when they have not yet met each other, they have had that chance of connecting... There is a hidden bond between them for them to discover later on in life... This is one of the greatest experience that life has to offer....I wanted to meet the person who would get the note... Not because I wanted a soulmate but perhaps it's because we share the same secrets that not anyone could tell...
