All Good Things
The closest people in your life are usually the ones who seem the furtherest away. Especially when you need them the most. The ones who once held your hand is now holding someone else's. The friend who once showed you the whole world is now a smear of hazy smoke. The pure sanctuary called home suddenly becomes a fiery heartache. Now the teary droplets just fall to the ground, no one there to wipe them. Flames to dust. Lovers to friends. Every second of the day someone somewhere in the world sheds a tear, laughs in hysterics, falls in love, falls out of love, tells a lie, reveals the truth, hurts another soul, mends a heart, loses a friend, and meets their straw to their berry. People walk in and out of our lives everyday and sometimes we lose the people who have imprinted the largest footstep on our hearts. Is it just fate? We question why we have to bid our farewells to these loved ones. We question truth and why the truth sometimes hurts so much. Is it fair to say sometimes not knowing the truth is better than suffering the pain of the actual truth? Some would beg to differ. Truth is an integral part to any relationship and without the genuine certainty, that relationship will eventually fade. So my heart tonight goes to those who feel they have lost the people most important to them.

Oh Happy Day
Easter Feaster.
Good Friday through to Easter Tuesday just amazes me with the amount of blessings that is poured into my life on this weekend. Every year around this time it just feels like the most magical of weekends. Especially this year; it has been a beautiful experience. Becoming a sponsor for a newly baptised friend, celebration of Easter, of course the chocolate treasure hunt with my little cousins, seeing friends, wonderful mass and the remembrance of Jesus' death. The most heartfelt part of Easter, besides the acknowledgement of the special times in the church calender, is the weekend to be Holy with the whole family. Which for us means karaoke. The wonderful celebrations that bring us together are also the sad and sacrificial times of Jesus' life who was nailed to the cross, who died for our sins. His sacrifice has given us the beauty of life and for us it is our filo style Easter - one none to beat. Masses of food and karaoke are the two things that will always be, with no doubt, at a Filipino celebration. I'm so privileged to be a part of my family and the crazy times we have together. Without each person in my family, without the drama, without the love, without the beauty, without the karaoke, without the fun, without the faith, and without culture I would feel like a book without pages. Each part of my family is a page of my book of life. And only them fulfill my so called oh happy days.

Mama
A lot of people in this country don't truly appreciate the opportunities and privileges that this wondrous and beautiful Australia gives us. People take our land for granted and do not realise how comfortable our lives are. Most people do not understand the advantages they have over others in the world because they are so content with their own lives and are driven by mundane routine. They forget the significance and treasure of having a life to live. Taking unnecessary items for granted. Abusing the space we have. Ungrateful for the things we have. And wasting moments of our lives. Time passes us by so quickly. When we look back on our trail of footsteps we realise how much time has actually past us. Hours, days, months, years. We see how much time we have wasted. How much money was used. What we have gained and what we have lost. We realise how many people has walked in and out of our lives. Who has made a significant impact. Who has shaped the person we stand as today. It's not until we are older and look back on what our parents and guardians have done for us. Our early years were our most vulnerable and our parents were there to guide us through every step of the way. I think we need to stop for one moment and appreciate the tenderness and care our parents gave, and continues to pour forever more, with such unconditional love. I'm taking this day to thank not only my Mother (biased to the song) but also my Father who has been in my life through thick and thin, in worst of times and the best of times, even through disagreements and fights they helped me on my way, gave me life advice, and never doubted my ability to become who I wanted to become. Their support means the world to me and I could never have lived to my full potential without the beauty of my family.

Say
It's the moment you walked away from.
It's wanting the last word.
It's the chance you had in your hand.
It's the time it slipped away.
It's the moment you should have said it.
It's treading on thin ice.
It's the wrong line at the right time.
It's the right line at the wrong time.
It's the chance you took for granted.
It's the goodbye that wasn't meant to happen.
It's the greeting that changed your life.
It's something you could of done better.
It's the thing you should have done better.
It's that thought of a second chance.
It's the person you fell so hard for.
It's the inspirational pillow case.
It's the perfect word.
It's the perfect line.
It's the perfect speech.
It's the perfect moment.
It's your favourite track on your 90's CD.
It's the poem you read every day.
It's when someone else takes your exact thoughts.
It's when your idea becomes someone else's treasure.
It's when you change a life or when it changes you.
It's finding the most amazing thing to say.
It's deriving what not to say.
It's proactive thinking.
It's your everyday connection to what's going on around you.
It's your perspective on being.
It's your input to the world.
It's your opinion.
It's what matters.
It's what matters to you.
It's as simple as a noise.
It's the complexity of your mind.
It's as wondrous as a new born baby.
It's as beautiful as your vows...
It has been one of those days where such magical and amazing images come to mind though the difficulty of having to put them to words is mind boggling. Seeing the most beautiful and creative image is harmless to those around us, unless those images are portrayed in a visual context for them to see it and there is opportunity for discrimination, negativity, opinion, disapproval. Putting such thoughts onto paper, into sentences and even into movement is sometimes a very hard thing to accomplish and we feel self conscious about our findings. However, we need to realise that sometimes our most ridiculous and brainless ideas can turn into a captivating source of something powerful. Imagine all the times you wanted to talk to your crush but never did. Imagine if they felt the same. Imagine the impact your words would have been if you listened to your gut instincts and just went for it. If you didn't say something, would things be so different? Sometimes a few words can save someone's life. If you're getting a reaction you never wanted to face, it will only make you a stronger person and you can feel you've tried in some way or another. If there was nothing to come of it, it will help you begin the next chapter of your life. It's all about standing up for what you believe in and saying how you truly feel. Don't be afraid to speak your mind. Tell the ones you love and mean it when you say you love them. Have purpose in what you say. Say all the things you have always wanted to say, in respect to those around you. Don't let yourself become someone else's doormat. You are you and you are nobody else's you. Speak out. Reach out. Say it with authority. Say what you need to say.

Fragile
One of those days where your soul can't choose what it wants to feel. Everything seems so bipolar. Like a beautiful puzzle with one piece to go then the entire image is thrown in the air and scattered on the floor. Too many fragments to put back together. Just hope that some of the pieces will find their way back into the picture. Somehow. Sometime, soon.
Six thoughts at once I can't focus on one
Seven days a week but my life has just begun
So caught in emotion and I'm overcome
As I'm falling down I come undone
Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel so frail so small
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
Sometimes I feel a little fragile
A little fragile
In six thousand years what will this mean
Words from the heart or a melody
So caught in emotion and I'm overcome
As I'm falling down I come undone
Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel nothing at all
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
Sometimes I feel a little fragile
A little fragile
If people can see right through my eyes
Like an open door that I can't disguise
I won't be afraid from the tears I cry
I'll not run I'll not hide this is how I feel inside
A little fragile
A little fragile
Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel so frail so small
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
Sometimes I feel a little fragile

Headlights On The Highway.
Whatever it is you need, I pray I am.
When you meet the love of your life. The one. The person who you can see living with for the rest of your life. To live young with and to grow old with. Share the memories throughout each day, everyday, together. Your whole world. The souls recognition of it's counterpoint in another. The symbol of eternity. Like a planet orbiting someone's sun. Sitting with someone in complete silence and leaving feeling you've had the best conversation. Loving with a love that is more than just love. Soul meets soul on the cusp of lovers lips. The one to hold your sorrow. The one to kiss the tears. The love too hard for goodbyes. The longing to kiss on arrival. Where the heart tells you different to your mind. The warm feeling as you wake. When no one agrees more than what your heart knows. When fantasy becomes reality. When your whole life turns upside down for this one person. It makes you stop and love them even more. Their love in return is more precious then any gem or gold. You become a prisoner of love. Sentenced to life. Because of two stolen hearts. The perfect crime...
When you find that person hold on to them with all your breath before its too late. Treat your man, respect your lady, be gentle and kind. Most of all, with absolute and unconditional love, live for them. Breathe the air they live for, be the hand to hold, embrace the tender moments and give selflessly and graciously to them. Be everything they need, and love the person you fell in love with. Fight for their love and learn to love the fight. They are the light of your existence. And when the light seems dim, pray that you are everything for them. Pray that whatever it is they need, you will be. And your light will be fulfilled with joy and happiness for eternity.

Dynamite.
Do you ever wake up in the morning and feel everything is right where its supposed to be, you wake up wanting to throw your hands to the sky and know life is worth celebrating? These are the days I love to dance the streets, put on my favourite tracks and just jam. When I feel alive, like nothing can burst my bubble of happiness, I put on my baggy cargos and a singlet, put my hands up in the air, holla and drop!
Sometimes we need to feel the beat and just let our bodies take control. Pulling the pin on a grenade and throwing ourselves into a crowd of smiles. Learn to enjoy the moment of freedom and grasp the feeling of celebrating who you are. There is no other feeling worth more than your own happiness. Knowing that you are content with life in general and love the person who walks the Earth. Its a magical feeling when you can turn on the ipod, sense a buzz and just dance the way you feel. Don't hold back. If your on the bus, walking down the street or just bumming around the house turn the volume up and groove to the beat. Let others be envious. Have no shame in the person who walks in your shoes everyday, be the one you've always wanted to be. Blow their minds with your amazing energy. AND Light it up like DYNAMITE!
