Ophelia 29 November, 2008

Silence
reigns under the surface.
There is nothing here
But peace, and quiet,
And solace for a
broken heart.
The water swirls around me
And wisps of dark hair
rise, gentle as caresses
From love long past,
love long forgotten
Like the innocence that left
When you said your goodbyes.
How much more beautiful the world is
seen from beneath the trembling waves!
I see rosemary for remembrance
And pansies for [...]

Christmas Wishlist! 27 November, 2008

More to be added, if I can think of anything I actually want.
1) Hugs! <3
2) Knee socks. Striped or plain white. (If they’re white with a small black heart somewhere on top, yay!)
3) Skirts or skorts! Any colour, any material, though preferably not 100% cotton and definitely [...]

*heart* Pablo Neruda. 20 November, 2008

He is one of my favourite poets ever, along with Lord Byron and… haha, I’ve forgotten. (Unofficially, though, another favourite poet of mine is Ate Kate, of Pisay Batch ‘09).
Here are some poems of his I adore:
Saddest Poem
I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
Write, for instance: “The night is full of stars,
and the [...]

I Feel Like Dancing! 18 November, 2008

And I don’t know why.
I haven’t danced at all since this summer, and I’m starting to miss it.
This summer, I went to dance class with my sisters- just the basics of street dance, really, because I know that though I like dancing, I’m not going to be good at it if I don’t [...]

Death March 11 November, 2008

Step, step, step
No stopping, keep
Marching.
Step one, two, three
And another ten thousand today.
Ignore the hunger
Ignore the thirst that dries
Your throat and your spirit
Ignore the burning flames
And the cold metal of the gun
That’s staring you in the face-
And eyes, eyes
That you can never meet, a Demon’s
Eyes, dark tunnels
Of pitch-black murder
And obsidian intentions.
Don’t stop!
Don’t pause, no
Looking back
In this [...]

Law of Ellipses 10 November, 2008

law-of-ellipses
This is the talk given by Mr. Reynaldo Vea earlier today, on why planets have elliptical orbits.

A Whole Bunch of Personality Tests 9 November, 2008

Got this from Mickey. Again.  Well, the first one, at least. XD All italicized text is what I find accurate. XD
Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They’ll probably still love you if you [...]

Love is in the Bag 2! 8 November, 2008

Two good things happened today: we watched Quantum of Solace, and I was able to buy Love is in the Bag volume 2.

Here’s a basic summary of it, copy-pasted from somewhere:
A wacky comedy about a romance that never quite goes as planned.
Timid, 16-year old Kate Mennella is just like any average high school [...]

There is no more respect in the world. 4 November, 2008

Because, after all, what use is respect when you can easily make use of someone else’s humiliation for your personal amusement?
The feeling of betrayal is a really terrible thing. So is the feeling of humiliation. I cannot believe that people would go so far just to be able to have a laugh at someone else’s misfortune.
Right [...]
