A Midnight Wish

In the midst of the night
I’m awakened once more.
You said it could be
Someone thinking of me

Then I read your words
Wishing me a good night’s sleep
Could it be that you’re the one
Thinking of me?

How I wish that were
But I fear that is a wish too much
And so I just wish you back
A good night’s sleep.

Finally

It was almost beautiful. But you had to add more and ruin it. You should just have left that last brush stroke, that last note, that last word, as it is: Final.

Imago@Saguijo

IMGP1877Went with some friends from the office to Saguijo to catch Imago yesterday. Aby– an Imago fan– especially had long wanted to catch Imago. After a failed attempt or two she finally did. And even though the place was packed and stifling hot due to the presence of some name bands, she had fun. Heck, everyone had fun!

2007 May 27 La Mesa Ecopark, Quezon City, Metro Manila

_IGP1454Went with some officemates to the La Mesa Ecopark in Quezon City. It’s supposed to be a photo shoot but either cameras are unavailable or the photographers aren’t so it became more of a picnic with a bit of photo shooting thrown in.

La Mesa Ecopark is a project of ABS-CBN‘s Bantay Kalikasan, an environment advocacy group who essentially created the park from jungle. The resulting park is an oasis of vegetation in the midst of the sprawling city. It has a saltwater pool, a flower terrace, an amphitheater, a butterfly trail, an orchidarium, a fishing area, a big picnic area, a biking area, and a boating area among others.

The park is well organized and managed. There was just a bit of a hassle getting our DSLRs inside (but not point-and-shoots wth?!?). It was also a bit crowded when we went but otherwise it was nice. We strolled through the various areas taking pictures. We were done by late afternoon. The place is not that big and a day is about sufficient.

The Ugly Duckling

There’s this duckling
Who thought she’s ugly
She won’t turn into a beautiful swan
That only happens in fairy tales
And maybe reality shows
But she doesn’t have to
For within and without
Though she doesn’t see
She’s already beautiful
