"Can you see the Ship? He said. The Ghost ship on the sea. It comes so very near some days, it will come one day, for me. I can not see the Ship. I said. Out beyond the waves. But I can see an island blue, where I shall spend my days. When my ship comes in. He said, waiting on a breath. I will live my dreams, you’ll see, and die a hero’s death. There in paradise. I said, my little heart on fire. I’ll find the wishing fruit, bright red, and have all I desire."

I grew up with these cartoons.

I'm in Bicol right now visiting my family before I leave the country soon. So for now, my aim is to have fun, RELAX, bond with my poor lil dog Ollie, and spend much time with mama and papa. I'm totally taking advantage of the endless food in our pantry--that's my favorite part! haha

I'm having a terrible husky voice this moment due to this sore throat (i tend to have this when I sleep late) i can't get rid of. And due to the awesome beach party and awesome camp last night at Calaguas. (will post photos soon) It was an unforgettable experience. But I speak like I whisper. Felt like I sang the whole night. I need my voice baaack! :)

I love reading poetry, old stories and articles, on some sort it triggers my mind to think and wander on its very broad sense. I think about dreams, my favourite yoghurt ice cream topped with mangoes and almond crunch, blur dreams you have when you wake up at 2 in the morning, my life onboard, midnight talks, universe, why do we have those healthy conversations in the most inconvenient way, safety, chasing the train the next day, certain matters that remains vague and unresolved, sex, fox in the forest, places and faces I’ve never seen, and thinking I can go on with this list forever. It doesn’t matter if I know the author or writer or not. It doesn’t matter if it interests me or not. A little bit of myself is turned on when everybody isn’t. And it'll be a bit of an understatement if you'll say this isn't broad. Trust me, you have no idea. It so is.

Today there are too many ideas and goals, memories, and happy thoughts, and worries, and blah blahs walking around in my mind... but my mind and heart can’t think of proper method to express these streaming thoughts.

I ride the train everyday these days since my short term training started just four days ago. I'm learning a lot and it feels sooooo good 'cause I just wrapped up my exam today, and it's nice 'cause I was able to meet new friends though it will definitely tire your whole body. Anyway, on some issues, I'm having certain undertakings... that I find myself growing passionately about. This is...weird.

"When I was a young man I was always hunting for new metaphors. Then I found out that really good metaphors are always the same. I mean you compare time to a road, death to sleeping, life to dreaming, and those are the great metaphors in literature because they correspond to something essential. If you invent metaphors, they are apt to be surprising during the fraction of a second, but they strike no deep emotion whatever. If you think of life as a dream, that is a thought, a thought that is real, or at least the most men are bound to have, no?"

by Jorge Luis Borges, Paris Review interview, 1967

I enjoyed looking at some photos from the web today while waiting for my friend. Just wanna show you my fave ones :)

My typical afternoon scenario (if I don't have any papers to fix) usually goes with cooking my food and sitting on my couch surfing the channels looking for something interesting to watch. Most of the time I begin with Channel [V], well just some good music to set up my mood, but most of the time they're playing Baby by Justin Beiber, so pfft... Hmn, I have nothing against JB, just not really my type of music to set up my good mood. :) So my channel of all time is the Asian Food Channel! I love all their shows though they're airing it a bit late. I love Anthony Bourdain food&travel shows, Gwyneth Paltrow's and Mario Batali's Spain On the Road Again, French Leave, River Cottage Autumn and Beyond River Cottage (which is my most fave!)

So, okey. I'm lacking of thoughts organizing here. haha Actually, I just wanna share the film that i watched earlier which is really cute and awesome. I like it a lot. :) I like the inspiring story with a bit laugh, the setting which is during the 1930's, I like the dresses, etc... It's a darling film. Well, don't ask me what the story is about, you should go try watch it. :) It's worth a look.

Just some of my few photos during my fast last trip on the South (due to some urgent paper requirements) with my best friend Maggie and Ayen. That was an exhausting one, though I enjoyed a lot to get good hangs with these girls. :)

Isn't this fun?!

Another one of our silliness. :))
