Moody Monday: Colorless + meme

my world would be colorless without books
and lifeless without music



here's another tag for this week. isay passed the baton to me to post 5 random weird things about myself. i had done one of these before as i posted 5 weird habits.. but here's to add another 5 then!

6. i have more cds than books. and the photo above shows only a fraction of what i have.

7. i buy a book 90% of the time i pass by a bookstore. even though i have tons of other unread books calling for me in the middle of the night (well technically "day" because... read no.8)

8. i have insomnia and im up all night. thus i work at night and sleep at daytime. and my body clock only allows me to sleep for max of 5 hours or else i get a headache.

9. among my old high school peers (barkada), i used to be the quiet one. until i met them again a few years back and they were almost shocked that i was not as timid as they once knew. (*.* thanks!)

10. i am a geek and my hero is dexter.

now i tag: Anto | Teri C | Forever Young | Anonyrrie | Bluerose | Zari

love liefde mahal

February is almost over and st. valentine's day have past. but a tag from a generous and artistic friend, zari, has inspired me and many others to remember the origin of this holiday. and to quote..

"St Valentine’s Day; a holiday named after various early Christian who became models of selfless love surviving in cruel circumstances. Yet nowadays, this holiday is mainly associated with romantic love; it is just a day to spend on chocolates, flowers, trips, lingerie, and romantic dates…I think it’s time we forget about this meaningless stuff to focus on the true meaning of this day; love, peace and global unity."

and as i have mentioned previously, love and giving should not be shown only in one day..

so share the love and spread the love to the world and join us..



Here are the simple rules:
1. If you get tagged or not (and want to play along), take some minutes to meditate about love and peace, pray for countries that are facing troubles, for those people you love and those you don’t

2. Write a post with links to blogs that you think would like to participate

3. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

now i tag:
Ambres | Deity | Vina | Anto | Isay | Ayanku | Ces | Angela |
Annalee | Floots | Aravis | Ascender Rises Above | illoluv | The Unknown | and anyone who would love to participate..

Malapit na matapos ang Pebrero, at ang araw ni st. valentine ay nagdaan na. pero isang tag galing sa galante at malikhaing si zari ay nag(inspire) sakin at sa marami pang iba na maalala ang pinagmulan ng pagdiriwang na ito.

at tulad ng sinabi ko dati, ang pag-ibig at pagbibigay ay 'di dapat pinapadama sa iisang araw lang..

kaya't padama at ipamahagi ang pagmamahal at sumali sa'min..

illo friday: theory

"The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion or of the motion of the source of the light." -Albert Einstein



my theory about light is that it can be bended by extending time.

i cant decide on what image to post, but here are 3 more from the same series. i created them when i was watching disney on ice with my son. fun huh? whats your fave?

speed of light, and

"...Sudden Stars"
by: Stereolab

Sweet smelling
essences
hugs and smiles
sweet kisses
movements
towards me
embrace
reverie
tenderness
velvet skin
treasured dreams
intimate
silk and gold
nuit d'amour
naked soul

After such distance
Come to me, precious being, come to me
After such ennui
Come to me, delicious, enfold me
After such a long drought
Here a place for flowers to flourish

But if you must,
And if you must,
If you must go, go--

The wind will take you
It will lift you
Across the ocean

Into the sky
Towards the sun
It will take you, high--

So if you must,
And if you must,
If you must go, go--

Sweet smelling wind
Announcing
L'amour de ma vie
When you're ready
Mon bel amour
Simply come to me.
