  • Poem-Work In Progress

    Gaia's Plight

    Our land was hungry, broken and starved.
    No one knew what its destiny carved.
    Inhabitants lie in ignorant wait.
    For they cannot see we share the same fate.
    With each new generation, Gaia endures.
    Her pleas for help ringing in ears as yours.
    Her beauty is fragile, fierce, and deep.
    But she cannot be ours, simply to keep.
    She is our mother, carer, and friend.
    And we are the ones who are hastening her end.
    Death and destruction are always foretold.
    But who among us know what our future will hold?
    I see a world, bright and green.
    This can be real and more than a dream.
    Because in us all, lie the promise
    of a great tomorrow and Gaia's new rise.

    I want to add more, but I keep coming up with more depressing statements. I want a brighter ending, but the words are eluding me. I'll sleep on it and keep working on this poem. I have until May 14th to submit this to a national poetry contest. I feel really good about it!

  • RIP, Anella

    My cousin's only daughter killed herself a few days ago. She was only 10.

    I never got to meet her, but I know my cousin loved her immensely. At the last family vacation/reunion in the Philippines, he told me sister and me,

    "I'm filming a video for my daughter, Anella. Can you say something to the camera for her?"

    Of course, my sister and I were happy to oblige. We also expressed the hope that we would get to meet her one day. That was 4 years ago.

    So many thoughts are running through my mind. I just wanted to get some of them down on here. I'm really confused right now. I have questions, but I fear there is no answer for them. Wherever she is, I hope she has peace. Rest in peace, Anella. I'm sorry I never got to meet you. I know I would have loved you as much as I love my cousin. I hope you have the peace you sought so desperately in this life.

  • What movie can you watch again and again?

    There's so many movies I can watch over again! And I have to narrow it down to one?

    Ok, I pick Pan's Labyrinth. I love the story of this movie. It's a bit gory in some parts, but it's crucial to the story line. I think the Spanish language is so gorgeous. I wish I could speak it fluently. And this is actually Spanish from Spain (not North American/Southern American Spanish). So they use a conjugate of "you all"--kind of like the American Southern, "y'all". It's so purty to my ears.

    And I love the actors and actresses in this movie. They were so good for their roles. The movie has a wonderful soundtrack and the special effects are so good--but it doesn't detract from the storyline; only enhances it.

    I got the Spanish words for "my prince" from this movie. I call my son my little prince, and since he is also Spanish, I like to call him "my prince" in Espanol.

    I don't own this movie, but I watch it all the time on Netflix. I'm definitely on the lookout for a copy.

    Runners Up: "Memories of a Geisha"and "Moulin Rouge" (my favorite musical).
       

    I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
