Two


Ever the rushing one
Too much to get things done
Often the effort seemed slighted
Is it ever worth it
The queen of quiet drapes a veil
Curious one trudge the trail
Crossing the bridge blindly anew
Uncertain where it leads to

Queens



Slept with a question mark
But grateful nonetheless
Record high on replies
No right answer yet

A variety of icons
Affecting one world
One always looking towards
The other ever looking in
Another watching from the sidelines
And the last never watched at all

In a time where everything is instant
The slow gets the better view
May not finish first
But will not finish last

Take two

I don't think I can write everyday. Maybe once a week first. Then twice. Then every other day. Just to get back the habit. I'm so rusty.

How do I start? I've forgotten my writing style.

Today, started pretty much gloomy cause of the weather. Monsoon rains are here. Strengthen by a typhoon named after a fave artist. The Spurs lost to the Heat in what seems to be a rigged game. Workwise, I've progress a bit with  this weekend's rushings. I lost my momentum somewhere after eight pm. I also heard a news, which saddens me. But couldn't do anything but watched from the sidelines. I am after all a better observer. Today, too, I trying to close a book on a chapter (if only in my mind) that kept being  read over and over... told ten million times in a dozen versions about a proud blood I know. May it be so. Will try my hardest to be resolute about it. Good luck to me and the many things I wish to do!

For now, I'll stare at a blank card and a white box. Say extra prayers for me and you and  hope tomorrow the creative energy comes early and let me share her through the work I do.

journal me

I read a friend's article today. Made me think of going back to journaling.
All my posts here are Flickr pics... few words for so much going on. I've no words for so long. 
Pictures say more than I could. But I do wish to write. Put things down on paper... here and/or Tumblr. 
May the words flow as they may. And then... maybe, I will get to see things a bit clearer... like I used to. 
Not so much distracted as I seem to be of late. More focused. I miss that. Really.
So good luck me! Hopefully, I'll be writing religously. 

Today is,  06162013, 1109pm... I will start to write a line or so a day and maybe even sketch. :)
