revisiting

(artwork by Vincent Van Gogh)

revisiting old cafe's
and half forgotten alleyways
of the street of your heart

the scent of it
leaves a wanting
that cannot be satisfied.

how the past can be rekindled
by old smells
old taste
and same dark alleyways

why did you dare go through this road?
isn't the streetlight offering a safe haven
enough.

but a longing heart
forgets
the meaning of the word.

the dimness of the night's stars
adds to the allure of the moon
daring.

the elusive red lipstick


bought a red lipstick at the grocery today and it disappointed me. well i should have known better than to buy lipstick at the grocery but well, i digress. so i was hoping to find the perfect red lipstick. two choices in the 100 pesos lipstick line. taylor red and swift red. no testers. bought taylor red since it appears redder. sadly on my lips it is still uhm red orange. kainis!

a night with the kids


the holiday season has ended officially with hubby having to report for work today. however, yesterday night to cap off the holiday cheer, we went to the park and painted the town well uhm checkered.

to judge the number of families that were on the park, there were a lot of us who had the same idea. the parking lot was full and we had to circle the circle to find a parking spot.

big z and little z had a lot of fun in the playground though i have to reprimand the crazy kids who use the slides as stairs. being mataray serves my purpose in the playground. maybe the kids thought i was the wicked witch that could eat them up because after a couple of reprimands the big z and the little z had the slide all for themselves.

it was harder to find a place to eat since not all stalls decided to sell that day. sayang, there were really a lot of people and those that put up their stalls, are in the vernacular, tiba-tiba.

we decided to go to the permanent stalls since they are the only ones that have tables and chairs available.

big z had a blast with her lugaw. the little z, crazy him, likes the lumpiang ubod. hubby and i well we stick to the classic everyday breakfast staple, tapsilog. suspiciously though, their tapa taste more like skinless longganisa though with a more chewy texture.

for dessert, we had dirty ice cream. well, it turns out that not all dirty ice cream is created equally. we should have bought dirty ice cream from our suki near the playground rather than the one near the fountain. but anyway, it was still cold and the big z is insisting for ice cream and i did promise her we could get one.

the sitting on our banig to rest was a crazy idea i learned. since the idea of the 2 z's is to wrestle on the banig as soon as it was laid and run around anywhere with green. we decided to take pictures here since the little z at last, is camera ready. (he hardly ever is)

to end the night, we head off to the small theme park ( i am not sure exactly what is their theme but it is only slightly better than a perya) and rode some of the zs favorite rides like the carousel and convoy.

after that, little z was already sleepy and wanted milk. so off we go. back home.

new year blog


today is a new year. so what? someone said. then began to say uhm okay new start. but nothing is really new on new year. when the clock struck midnight nothing really changed. except probable the smog outside your house which turns worse from the thousand pesos worth of judas belt your neighbor set fire to to make himself lucky. but then there is something good in the hope that the change of number in the calendar give us.

so happy new year.
