Alone
by: Edgar Allan Poe

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.

From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.

Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:

From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,

From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

*slash*

Although the electoral atmosphere is catching a drift of the stank side, I believe that there's a lighter side to the whole ballot *slash* vote buying *slash* adverts scenarios... hahaha! oh yes! i'm talking about the recent things that happened while the Filipinos where resting back there heads on comfy matresses... This is the blog for the funniest *slash* weirdest things I found (or came to know of) during the few days before May 10.

Top Weirdest-ests: (*slash* kinda funny)

10. well, I have to say finding out a party for the closeted "third sex" in the political side of the Philippines. Yes yes... Not to be a sexist but I believe that "Ang ladlad" bewilders itself by making SOME platforms that only benefits "them" (using the term loosely). But I'm kinda ignorant about the whole thing, so lets just stop there before I hit pink stones... hahaha!

9. finding out that Manny Pacquiao is going to run! hehehe... need I say more?! But I do admire the guy for his un-egotistic campaign... so all hail Manny (I guess...)!

8. not really grasping the total run down for parties... In laymen's term, I dont know who's who on GO or Team Unity or Kapatiran and the other parties out there...but one thing's for sure... Go for GO!!! hahaha! especially Chiz... Go Mr. Bamboo-look-alike! hehe

7. Kiko is ind?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? the thought still baffles me... but what's more baffling, so to speak, is the reason behind... hmmm...

6. the whole Zubiri ad campaign... I dont know... the song still gives me goose bumps.. hahha!

5. ah.. my top five... this slot deserves to go to the Pichay mascot!!!!!!!!!!!! what freaks me out isn't the mascot itself (well, it actually does) but the point is, he spent alot on his campaign mascot alone!!! i dont know the numbers, but from what my memory serves, it could buy me some new shirts! hahaha

4. the Pichay campaign ad on tv... dont ask... hahaha!

3. the thought of pichay spending over a hundred million for his campaign and that team unity spent 2 billion-ish on their entire party ads!!! tsk3...

2. the site of Goma on ANC while he was in the hot seat... Being asked about the whole education system in the Philippines and how to prescribe a pseudo-panacea to the former is no piece of cake dude!!! and given that it was Goma... well... I felt sorry for him...

tadadadaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. (story came from stuart) the Pichay (representing team unity) vs. The Nonoy Aquino (representing my personal fave---GO!!!) debate about the health crisis in the Phils. and more!!!!!!!!!!!! hands down, this has got to be my personal fave!!!


So if elections had been done in the midst of a Ms. Congeniality context with a Popularity Gagfest Award on the line... I pretty much guess, and can tell, who would get that piece of shit bit by bit.. hehehehe

.perfect.stranger.


Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
-excerpts from Lips of An Angel by Hinder...

This is for you...

You looked at me from afar, and I dare not stare. Your sweet sweet presence- like harbour lights from the pier. I see nothing else but you, I hear nothing but you, I feel nothing. I just feel nothing. I choose to. As I decided to crept away from your voice calling me, I saw myself in the midst of you. You asked me, I refused. I wasn't ready. I wanted to know more... about you, about me, about anyone else. But all I knew was that I wanted to. The way you make me feel something; a familiar sensation much like what I felt when I was sober. I lost the feeling. And then... I lost you...

Alone, in the middle of it all, I stood. Looking up at the starry night sky, with a tear falling. From all these years, all this time, it was just you. But again, I choose not to. Not because I didn't want to. Not because I didn't needed to. Not because because I wasn't infatuated, humiliated or even beaten up by the temptation you pou into my veins. So weak. So null. So timid.

I suddenly felt another. I was in the midst of another. The feeling, all over again. But something different. It was without, the perfect stranger...

On TraPo's

While doing the yearbook, I found out (on y-speak) that there was this particular act of some sort saying that it would allow into law the elimination of the whole political dynasty scenario in the Philippines... I'm, for one, not a constitutionalist to say but... WHAT THE HECK?! I mean there are some political dynasties here in the Philippines that do not necessarily "polarize" Philippine politics by their populaity ALONE... in fact, these political dynasties, for me, is a good idea. it constitutes to the awareness of the people that this particular "John or Jane Doe" has some political background up his or her sleeves. Thus make voting for him or he a lot easier and not only that, this means that that particular person could actually nourish the "GOOD" in their family's pojects and the like and even lessen the tendency to aggivate what has already been done. So, to speak for the "nuissance" candidates in the senatoriable race... I mean if actors and other nuissances think that they can just wake up one day and think over projects, plans and proposals to "establish" and build as one of the foundations of their platforms, then why not allow these seed of the crop to join in the whole big scene. I, for one, sympathize for the decendants of the great Arroyo's, Marcoses and the like... Moreover, the political dynasties should not be questioned on face value, the people concerned (the masses voting) should actually watch out for the capabilities of the people running. So for the sake of blogging, and for the sake of giving hell about it, I say that this paticular Anti Political Dynasty Act or other watchamacallits that pertain to the like, I say, NO WAY!!!

Its just weird, memories of the Exorcism of Emily Rose flash me by, now its kinda creepy... but I guess its all good... as long as I have my ipod, up late texters, people (or should I say person) online, and my cup of coffee... err... slash that... hot milk... uh...
