emerald.
as the sun peeks through the clouds
and brightness covers the ground
a flower sways from shade to light
and reaches for the warmth outside
but as the clouds smother the sun again
the flower, in its state of being bent
breaks where there once was a glow
and wilts with its roots below.

i'm late, yet again.
anywho, i am currently on the 3rd day of our 4 day (technically 2 day) holy week break... i've had nothing else to do at home but eat, watch tv, eat, FREAK OUT, eat, watch more tv, eat more junk, and sleep ocassionally... i tried to play CS yesterday, but my PC's gone whack and it kept lagging... grr. now, i am contemplating on whether or not to answer our statpro take home exam already... not that i don't want to do it, i wanna get it over with actually... but i'm too lazy... and i think i don't know shit about the exam... teehee... ^_^ i hafta answer it sooner or later though... and i probably would be able to in a while coz aeo's gonna call for help with HIS statpro homework --- i told him i knew a little bit about probabilities... heheh. WHAT?! i didn't lie... i do know A LITTLE BIT... =p
let's see, what good stuff can i tell you guys about? hmmm... ah! a few weeks ago, our helper called me to the kitchen... when i got there, she pointed out something stuck under the mat outside the backdoor... she was asking me if it was a snake... looking at it, i thought it was just an earthworm coz it was about that big... but she kept insisting it was a snake... i took some salt from the pantry to check if it was indeed just a worm, but when i threw at it --- it didn't budge.
it WAS a friggin' snake... =o
ate ga ended up pouring boiling water over the thing until it died... i still didn't freak out at first coz i was thinking of how small it was... but then, when my aunt found out and asked:
"kung maliit na ahas yun, asan yung nanay?!"
i freaked out. -_-
but anywho... the snake issue is long gone... lumampas na sa sobrang tagal ko magupdate... heheh... ^_^ but like i said, a lot of crazy things have happened over the period of my hiatus... some GOOD-crazy, some BAD-crazy, some UNFORGETTABLE-crazy (i'm still smiling... =D) and some MIND BOGGLING-crazy (i think too much, it hurts... =p) but nonetheless, i've been on one hell of a rollercoaster ride...
...and the loops are still to come. *sigh*

snowflake.
i came through, slowly, armed
with but a rush of blood and an open mind.
it was a beginning of sidewalks and pavements,
keeping to the safest side.
i memorized the ground i walked on,
i searched for cracks, and tripped on them all.
the four winds blew all at the same time.
nothing but thorns to hold --- it's them or a pall.
i found comfort in a fleece i found
though not of gold, but of winter's warmth.
i felt and admired every thread
and was struck with beauty so profound.
i held on through spring, summer and autumn,
and it burned through the bite of snow.
the seasons turned, twice over and more
yet some weaves went unnoticed in the cold.

hearing them sing this song last night made me cry:
Worlds Apart
by Jars of Clay
I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow, it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I float too high And like Icarus, I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
To give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
More deeply than the oceans
More abundant than the tears
Of a world embracing every heartache
Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
(To love you) Take my world apart
(To need you) I am on my knees
(To love you) Take my world apart
(To need you) Broken, on my knees
Said and done, I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me
All I am for all you are
Because what I need and what I believe, are worlds apart
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
And wipe away the crimson stains
And dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need You now
I owe You more each passing hour
Battles between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
My sin-soaked heart, make it Yours
Take my world all apart
Take it now, take it now
And serve the ones that I despise
Speak the words I can't deny
Watch the world I used to love
Fall to dust and blow away I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
Wipe away the crimson stains
And dull the nails that still remain
Steal my heart, take the painTake the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
Take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray Take my world apart...
