First Attempt: For the Love of Haiku...
It started with a comment...then came the suggestion...
This is my first attempt for a haiku not to mention in Japanese Calligraphy. Thanks to the Midnight Writer and Sir Ben I found another interest to study (and I hope there will be a follow-up with this one) -- and a good tattoo design I wish to have (but take note in Henna since I can't imagine myself growing old with ink on my skin hehe). Comments and suggestions are welcome and are very much appreciated. I do hope I did good here (although this is not the traditional one). But in case there are indeed some correction then I'll gladly revise this one (and once I get to figure out how to write it in traditional jap calligraphy)...hehe...

A Memory...Time...Acceptance and Letting Go... (part II)
Heal was the first...many followed....
Wanting to Get Over
I feel you...even if you're not there
and even you're with someone else
I still feel you loving me
I see you, in the corners of this lonely room
even though there's nothing here but gloom
hoping that someday you'll fill it too
refrain:
Would I be happy, if you decided to stay?
Should I feel sorry, for loving you this way?
chorus:
my eyes are dry from crying all those tears,
feeling sorry for the love I felt all these years,
but i have to let go
knowing you're heart's here no more
wanting to get over you
is the hardest thing to do.
In your arms, I felt magic of a love so strong
now there's nothing left for me to do
but to move on and face the truth
And it's hard, to mend pieces of a broken heart
but I know I'm gonna make it through
knowing I'm giving my best to forget you
refrain 2
Should I feel wiser, knowing I've done what's right?
Should I feel stronger, now that I'm saying goodbye?
chorus:
my eyes are dry from crying all those tears,
feeling sorry for the love I felt all these years,
but i have to let go
knowing you're heart's here no more
wanting to get over you
is the hardest thing to do.
and even you're with someone else
I still feel you loving me
I see you, in the corners of this lonely room
even though there's nothing here but gloom
hoping that someday you'll fill it too
refrain:
Would I be happy, if you decided to stay?
Should I feel sorry, for loving you this way?
chorus:

feeling sorry for the love I felt all these years,
but i have to let go

A Memory...Time...Acceptance and Letting Go...
It's been a while....
I've been trying write something for this blog but the words can't seem to get out. A lot of things had happened that one may consider somewhat exciting. I'm still writing (that's something no one can dare take away), been a DJ, had sleep, got out for fun, and taught college students for their Algebra: in other words I had loads of stuff to do that boredom was "getting bored" of waiting for his turn...
I was completely busy....
And I was completely not thinking about him...
I had other things to worry about....until this week...
In the middle of computing grades, fixing articles. helping a friend with her project in MIT, thinking about taking MIT next semester, and wishing to play Rohan with a friend, the thought came back....
It's been years...the way I feel may not be the same as before whenever I see his pictures, yet the memories--I may not be holding them or maybe I'm just cherishing them so much--remind me of how I was hurt.
Accepting was hard yet it reminds us of how love should be given...UNSELFISHLY...Love is wise after all. Man was the only one foolish. He was my darkness and in time he let me shine bright--he made me light and he made me see another light from a distance (hope)....
For a memory that I love...
For the time that taught me well...
and for accepting the fact that at times the only way to say you love a person is by letting go....

Below is a song I composed with my sister. I was in my last year of college then and in the middle of making the project documentation for a digital scoreboard, I ended up writing this. It became famous among the high school students of ACI when my sister sang it on stage. She was in her third year of high school when she gave the melody. Up 'til now her classmates know the song's chorus....this is HEAL...
Heal
I
In every place I see your face smiling at me
I hear your voice sing with the wind calming my every chill
It's late at night and I feel sorry
for myself 'cause I know you're not here....
********
Now I look at the sky
wishing and hoping that somehow you'd come my way again
'Cause I just can't deny how much I love you
How I want you to stay
******
II
For every touch as I quiver feeling all the love
The gladness that lingers deep sending me high up above
I'm here again
praying for what wasn't there
********
Now I look at the sky
wishing and hoping that somehow you'd come my way again
'Cause I just can't deny how much I love you
How I want you to stay
******
How many sad songs must I hear to realize that you're not for me?
How may times do I have to face everyday without you near?
********
Now I look at the sky
wishing and hoping that somehow you'd come my way again
'Cause I just can't deny how much I love you
How I want you to stay
******
'Cause I'm here now
here without you
holing on to my faith
that my heart would heal someday....
This was the first of many songs....and its been a while 'till I was able to make again....
yup, it has been a while....

Waiting...
I saw this poem while checking out "My Sassy Girl", the Korean version, in the internet. Reading it somehow reminded me of how much we wait for something to come back, hoping that it would ease the pain we felt brought by the emptiness of them not being there. But what if it didn't come back? are you still willing to wait for it?
God works in so many mysterious ways that what we somehow thought as we already know actually has more to unfold--at times they are just right under our noses, we're just too foolish looking afar rather than looking close by.
Waiting for something to come back may sometimes fool us. we keep on waiting for something familiar rather than expecting the unexpected. Things change but as we accept things no matter how painful they may be it is then that we realize that what what we waited for did come back only in a new form. cheers to happiness...
I'm waiting for the sky
to be blue again
I'm waiting for the smile
to come back again
Sometimes things are not
the way you planned
Sometimes they go wrong,
sometimes you can't stand...
The voice of the wind
tells me it is within
The roar of the air
gives me strength in despair
Oh, the sound of the trees
can make you fly off your feet
But the sound of silence
can make you see...
An angel of hope, can you see again?
The journey of life, can you live again?
A city of glory, can you feel again?
It's the spirit of love, can you love again?
to be blue again
I'm waiting for the smile
to come back again
Sometimes things are not
the way you planned
Sometimes they go wrong,
sometimes you can't stand...
The voice of the wind
tells me it is within
The roar of the air
gives me strength in despair
Oh, the sound of the trees
can make you fly off your feet
But the sound of silence
can make you see...
An angel of hope, can you see again?
The journey of life, can you live again?
A city of glory, can you feel again?
It's the spirit of love, can you love again?
