IF I FIND YOU SUBMERGED IN MY INTROSPECTION, IT'S BECAUSE I AM ONE WHO OVERFLOWS WITH IT. MY EXISTENCE IS CAPTIONED BY THIS PREDICAMENT OF A LIFE LARGER THAN THE MARGINS PLACED AROUND ITS EDGES.
MY BITTERSWEET STATEMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS..
I sneer at people who can throw invectives at others without knowing where they are insufficient... Those who rage in anger over things they never understood - like how two strangers connect without spending time to talk..Or why it seemed like they have known each other before?... In the paradigm of sacrifice, I am the one that always needed something to believe in, in all the aspects of my life. To live, to protect my children, to love and fight for others and everything that matters to my existence. I learned, slowly, in the length of time too stretched and far away that hope the same as love is the simplest of word we can think of and give. And ironically, the hardest to get in this world where deceit and betrayal can sometimes disguise themselves as over-bearing. The purity of heart will always remain the wall that shields us. It's certitude.
♥ON BOOK POWER!♥
I love books, I treasure them like my life. I spend thousands of minutes in Powerbooks - reading from prologues to epilogues before paying for them. And it's one freaking habit I carried on to ppl close to me - they're adddicted to it! .
♥MY TAKE ON KIDLAT TAHIMIK AND HIS SUNFLOWER HOUSE!♥
Truthfully,I would celebrate each day I get the chance to meet people who think this way. Kindred ideas of equal mindset... People who idolise Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Coelho's Warrior of the Light...People who can relish every second of conversation with Eric De Guia as he talks about the planks of woods he used to build his atelier on Session Rd..And how art is desecrated by wannabe's.

♥ON THE SWIFT PASSING OF TIME...♥
Youth is fleeing, temporary. In this life, family & friendships are like the air that I breathe. I feel if you let go of those, just like your youth, everythin will be BLAH. We should keep them - like how you imagine a child holding tightly a lollipop in his hand..
♥WHAT ABOUT THE PALM READER?♥
An old soul, so said by a palm reader. One blink of my eyes would mean a thousand ideas conceived and processed... Do you know what constitutes the basic idea of being a woman of substance? When intelligent conversation matters more than sex itself.. I am starting to patronize that...How many reincarnations ive transcended? Caffeine-freak. Walk into my skin... Soulful.Ethereal.

WHAT USED TO BE OUR SANDBOX...
(sandbox: n. A low box filled with sand for children to throw and play in. )


This was how it was to write about you. Besides, we knew that aside from the MANY other things mundane (like what appetizer to eat or you finishing up the coffee i always forget to drink) and the metaphysical (our never ending stories) we both love doing - it's one of the best things we are so most passionate about! Therefore, I envision our own version of Lonely Planet or Animal Planet (remember the poor baby Taz devil?) or Nat Gen and how we would have chronicled the lives of animals, people, places and history brilliantly. Grin.

Though I'm prouder if people will see (soon!) the work you did on your dad's film bio on DVD as a counterpart of the book your family launched last week. The time you had to spend sleepless in the studio from January to July doing everything to meet your target date, which you did - and not havin anythin except coffee, water and power drink just to get by awake to finish everythin! Oh, ask me about those long months.

I'd like for the readers to know how incomparable you are and if you were a dfferent person I'd still say the same. Which means I am unbiased to say that you are eloquent, articulate, funny, creative and colorful! Perhaps, to put it in a simpler perspective - the Ronnie I had always expected for everyone to see.

I always have been the quiet crowd that cheered for you on your current endeavor -you know there will always be somethin' for you and your passion, huh. I saw the future coming, giving you back what used to be the dream which is now in the form of reality. I'm praying that it flows like a river. Really. I always never told you but as hard as i try not to say it - thank you for staying by my side all this time in your own, different ways.

Prayful that God will gve you more so you won't have to leave for long. The altered reality we never planned somehow had taken us close together. And this will go on and on and on.
