If This Were All A Dream

May mahahanap pa kaya akong katulad mo?
I guess wala kasi nag iisa ka lang.
And YOU are MINE.

poisoned_hrt: bakit ka pa maghahanap ng katulad ko
poisoned_hrt: kung meron naman iba baka mas hihigit pa sakin diba?
nkayanga_03: blah blah blah blah
nkayanga_03: dont wanna hear that
nkayanga_03: all i want is you for now

Ikaw lang gusto ko
madamot na ako kung madamot

***
poisoned_hrt: ahahaha nasobrahan ko ata ang magic dust sayo :P
nkayanga_03: ahahah
nkayanga_03: di naman
poisoned_hrt: harhar :P
nkayanga_03: tunay na nagmamahal lang ako sa iyo
poisoned_hrt: ahahahaha
nkayanga_03: at napamahal pa
poisoned_hrt: mahal na mahal kita naomi :)

***

Like a never-ending cycle of falling in love over and over again
with you

***

poisoned_hrt: :)
poisoned_hrt: di ako naka smile na prang baliw simple lang smile ko ahahaha
nkayanga_03: in simplicity comes the most sincere things
nkayanga_03: :)

***

Well, I did fall in love with a very simple boy
na may naguumapaw na sincerity.
Maybe iyon ang rason bakit I won't let go
dahil I feel afraid that no one would love me the way that you do.

I know that there would be that someone who would be the one for me
But I just want to stubborn for the moment--
All I want to think about and to see is the one I have right in front of me now.

Siguro pag nagkita muli tayo, I may not have all the courage in the world to say all these things to you.
Baka mas maging mahiyain pa ako kaysa sa iyo.
Kaya sana kung tahimik lamang akong nakangiti pag nagkita tayo, don't be disappointed.
Kung nakatingin man lamang ako sa iyo, huwag ka sanang ma-conscious.

During those silent moments, I am just making myself believe that
it is not just a dream, and that
you really are mine.
I would be in bliss--the highest state of what we know as happiness.

I know if I close my eyes, I would miss that smile of yours.

***

poisoned_hrt: maybe i should be with you right now

***

Minsan pa nga I told myself na imagination ko lang ang lahat ng ito
Or maybe this is all just a dream.
But then I told myself that all I need to do is to believe and have a little faith
That when I wake up and open my eyes,
You would still be there and
You would still be mine.

***

poisoned_hrt: i promise
poisoned_hrt: its not a dream
poisoned_hrt: is real :)

My Superhero

Who is my superhero?

Superman--?
Well, he could sweep you off your feet with his super human strength
but he does have weakness for kryptonite.

Edward Cullen--?
Well, he is sparkly and got that must-have Volvo
but he is a little bit cold to give someone warmth.

Spiderman--?
Well, he is amazing for shooting out those webs
but if it wasn't for the radioactive spider then he would just be Peter.

Harry Potter--?
Well, he can mystify you with a single spell
but he would always have that crazy headache whenever the You-Know-Who is around.

Batman--?
Well, he has a cool automobile with all the gadgets that you could ever imagine
but without it, he would just be using his feet to walk the paths of Gotham.

I guess my superhero is someone not everybody knows.

He swept me off my feet and put my sleepy head to bed.
He does have weaknesses but it is where he gets his strength.

He may not have a Volvo but he sparkles with kindness and warm with love.

He keeps us together by shooting jokes instead of webs
and cracks us up whenever a roach comes flying overhead.

He did mesmerize my mom with his smile for a spell.
If he did get a headache, well it is from me and my sister I can tell.

He may not have gadgets to look cool but he's already cool himself.
He walks with us everyday and leads us to do what is right.

He is my kind of hero who never needs super human strength.
Nor spells, or webs, or cars, or gadgets.
He is someone who needed not a disguise--
My daddy, is and forever will be the superhero of my life!

100 Days

Davey Davey Dave! (eto na naman ako. LOL)

I made this poem especially for you to thank you for always being there for me kahit nagbrownout, na disconnect, or nawalan man ng internet. Thank you rin sa mga tutorials (especially for teaching me how to make transform my Windows XP into a mock Win7. LOL) and sa mga anime stuffs natin. :) Thank you for the spelling bee and the grammar checks that we always have sa chat natin sa YM. Sobrang sabog lang tayo sa mga usapan natin. hahaha. Mabuti na lang di ka napipikon kapag nagiging hyper ako sa kakulitan ("dave dave dave!" or "fluffy!" LOL). ^___^ You are the kindest person I ever met in this life. Wala na akong masasabi pa. I-combine mo man lahat ng words mula sa dictionary eh di pa rin sapat for me to express how thankful I am to have you in my life.

Pasensiya kung lagi na lang akong may pinapabasa sa iyo (aside from the tons of letters I sent you. LOL). Alam ko naman na bookworm ka rin like me so I guess you would definitely would want to read a poem made especially for you. ;p

100 Days

100 days natin ngayon at
99 times kong inisip ang
98 per cent ng content ng ika
97 na sulat ko para sa iyo.

96 of the time, ay may
95 tayong magandang ginagawa.

94 times na tumatawa sa
93 na corny jokes at
92 na mga trip trip at
92 na mga bloopers sa loob ng
90 minutes.

89 times ka man na disconnect at
88 hours man ng ako ay nawalan ng Internet, may
87 messages pa rin akong natanggap with
86 sentences that includes
85 iloveu's
84 smileys
83 LOLs
82 ^____^ which totals to the
81 messages sa inbox ko.

80 days bago kita nakilala ay may
79 percent info na ako about
78 things that you do,
77 places that you go to,
76 of the websites you surf, and
75 of the Deviant Art works that you like the most. I know
74 times kang nagtataka kung bakit isa ako sa mga
73 na girls na nagkakagusto sa iyo among the
72 boys sa ating ComSci department. Well sa
71 na population niyong mga boys eh
70 ay absentee kaya ikaw talaga ang agaw pansin. LOL. Over achiever. :p

(mag short cut na ako)

69 divided by three equals
23 days before I left on the
22nd of July for Manila ay
21 times kong inisip at
20 times kong inalala ang iyong ngiti.

19 pa lang ako noon ngunit it felt like I have known you for
18 years of my life. Akala ko when I was
17 I had found what they call true love. When I was
16 I thought I found my Prince Charming among the
15 suitors in line since I was
14 pa lamang (ang dami naman ata masyado. LOL). Then I remembered my dream when I was
13 about my Mr. Right. I told myself that I would meet him someday. I just had to wait.

12 months before my birthday and
11 days before the
10th of June, you stepped into my life. Feeling ko I was in Cloud
9 (parang chocolate lang. LOL). It was a Monday at
8 o'clock by the
7-stepped staircase sa
6th corner ng
5-storey building ng ating school where I first saw you. I believed in that moment na kahit na
4 hundred thousand or million miles away man ako for you. there would always be
3 small worlds that would keep us together. And I thank God for blessing me with an angel like you.
2morrow may not be the same as today but you would always be my
1 and only Ian Dave Agcaoili Manguira. <3

I am so blessed to have met you in this life Dave. You had taught me much about life, and most of all, I learned what love is from loving you.

Your best-est girlfriend (siyempre nag-iisa lang ako sa mundo :p )

Forever and Always

Dave,

I have something for you. It is from a song and it perfectly expresses my thoughts for you:

I had you, I had everything I ever dreamed of--
From that first look I knew I found heaven in your eyes
but who was to know the way it would go?
I have no regrets. Glad I let you in
wouldn't have missed one single moment
I would do it all over again.

I held you, I held everything I ever dreamed of--
From that first kiss I knew all this world seemed all so right
but who was to see the way it would be?
I'll never forget all the heaven we shared and I thank God for every moment--every moment that I had you there.

Glad I got the chance to have you in my life.
I won't be sad when I look back 'cause
I was loved, I was touched and I learned what love is.
I was blessed, so blessed 'cause I learned what love is.
I learned what love is from loving you. <3

Nakakagawa ka naman pala ng sulat eh. :) I would never block you off my list and for me, that is the most stupidest thing that someone would ever do. Friends pa rin tayo. As in super best friends and we would always be super friends. ^___^. Wala na akong mahahanap na katulad mo sa mundo kaya I won't let you go. At bakit naman kita biglang hindi kakausapin? Masyado naman akong feeling para deadmahin ang isang gwapo at super talinong guy na si Ian Dave Agcaoili Manguira. :p I promise you that nothing would change. Mahal pa rin kita at ikaw lang ang aking one and only Dave. I would always treasure everything that we had (I saved all our conversations sa YM. :p) and you would always be my minamahal. Kung ito man ay isa sa mga pamatay nating kakornihan eh I do not care because it is what my heart wants you to know, that you had been my angel, and a blessing from up above. (In short, panalo pa rin ako. hahah.) ^____^

I know that we do have a lot in common and I had never been so open and honest with my feelings than what I had been to you Dave. You taught me a lot, more than the PC tutorials and all the links that you had shared with me. I realized that you could only meet such a person like you once in a lifetime and I am so much blessed to have met you in my life. Maari nga na ang tanging memory of you with me is the day when you held my hand sa computer lab but that one moment that twisted our fate led us to a friendship that no one and nothing can ever compare to. Mula noon, you had always been there for me, not counting the "emo days" that we had. LOL. Ngayon ko na realize na sa mundong ito, iilan lamang talaga ang maituturing mo na mga tunay na kaibigan and you are one among the few that I have known quite so well.

I am so much grateful to you for always bearing with my kakulitan sa YM or pag minsan I am so high with my emotions towards my love for you. I am being this way siguro dahil nga I am away from home and iilan lamang ang mga tunay kong napagsasabihan ng nararamdaman ko. Natutuwa ako whenever you ask me "musta naman ang day mo?" because it makes me feel that I had accomplished something. I am thankful sa mga oras that you had spent with me, kahit gaano mo na ako pinapatulog dahil I still have a class the next day. I am thankful because I found what other people cannot find in you. You have such a wonderful love in your heart. A love that is willing to wait. A love that is unselfish and so true.

Dave, please stay with me until our 100th day (June 9). Alam ko na you would want it earlier and I am being selfish but I would want it better that way. Please please please? Nais kong sulitin ang pangungulit ko sa iyo (well, makulit naman na talaga ako noon pa) and it may not be that often dahil "pinapahiraman ka lang ng PC" sa ngayon pero I still want you to stay with me. Just for a little more. ^___^

I remember one quote that I sent you (nasa mga capsules). Sabi doon: "No man is worth your tears and the right man for you won't make you cry." I know you are the right one kasi you always make me smile until my face hurts like this: ^__________^. hahaha. Even now, I may had cried just a little but it was tears for joy. It was tears of happiness that I had got the opportunity to have you in my life as my schoolmate (mula high school), inii-stalk (lover pala), crush, secret admirer, chat mate, fiance, boyfriend, barkada, and my best-est boy buddy. :) I would always be here for you Dave just like how you were with me all the time. I am just a wallpost/IM/message away whenever I am done with my school stuffs. :)

I am hoping that after you read this message of mine ay napangiti ko ang pinakagwapong nilalang sa buong mundo. Pagpasensiyahan mo na rin kung ang mga girls like me ay more expressive sa mga feelings dahil hindi mo ako mapipigilan kung sasabihin kong mahal na mahal pa rin kita Dave. Masanay ka na rin kung biglaan akong sisipot ng parang kabute from nowhere. mas masaya rin kung makakatawag ka sa akin sa kaarawan ko. masaya na ako when I hear your voice that is such a music to my ears. hahaha. fluffy. :p

I love you mahal ko.

Sa iyo ko lamang naintindihan ang tunay na worth of those three words. Some people just say it just for the sake of pampering one's ego (weapons of mass distraction. hehe) but you say it to me because you sincerely feel so.

And I say it to you because you are worth my love and my care.

Yours Forever,
Naomi Kaye Amistad Yanga

Let that be Enough

I was happily sitting on my green leaf
with the sun above me shining.
Then gloomy dark clouds came suddenly
and it started raining.

It was so dark and cold.
Indeed, it was frightening.
I tried to find a shade to rest
for I was wet with water and dripping.

I finally found a cozy spot
where I can stay until the rain stops pouring.
But from the behind the shadows caught my attention--
Something was glowing.

I came closer to see what it was--
Unsure of what I am doing.
When suddenly it glowed some more
So gentle, and warm, and calming.

"Hello there" came a voice to me
and I looked around.
To my surprise it was a firefly
laying on the ground.

"Are you okay?" I asked him
he answered "Better than before."
I wondered what he meant.
I wanted to know more.

"I've seen you all around in that tiny leaf of yours" he said.
"And you grow prettier everyday."
I bowed my head and looked away
for I did not know what to say.

Finally, I got the courage to speak
what is on my mind.
For the moment of silence was deafening
and I had been keeping this to my self all the time.

"I have seen you too a couple of times,
and your smile had brighten my days.
I had always wished I could talk to you,
I had always wished you could stay."

My tiny heart was pounding in my chest
I could not believe what I have spoken.
He came closer to me and whispered words I would never forget--
And then he glowed brighter that moment.

The rain finally came to a stop
and the sun started to shine once more.
But when I tried to open my eyes
I was in a different place than I was before.

I looked around to see
where my friend went.
But he was not anywhere
And I was all alone once again.

I closed my eyes and decided to just take rest
and stop these tears from falling.
I made a wish in my heart with a dandelion on my hand
that when I wake up, he would be there waiting.

Seasons came and went.
Blue skies turned gray.
Then the sun-kissed morning touched my skin
and it bid me to welcome the new day.

I stepped out from my tiny bed
and much to my surprise.
He was there standing
right before my eyes.

"How are you doing?" he asked me.
"Better than before." I answered.
I came closer to him and whispered the words that I could never forget--
A butterfly and firefly in love is enough said.

A Typical Day in the Office

Whenever I get all my work done in the office, here are some of the things that I do: DRAW.

10 Things I Learned in Hawaii and in BYUH: My Junior Year (part 3)

1. Ang 19th Ward ang kaharian ng mga Prince Charming.

2. Red Carpet kapag Sunday.

3. Internet/WiFi is life! Imagine life without the 24/7 connection? (or you can imagine life in the Philippines. LOL) Kahit nga nung may Tsunami Warning eh nakapagpalit pa ang lahat ng status sa Facebook.

4. Art major na talaga ako.

5. Expert ka na sa pagkilala ng mga baguhan dahil pangatlong taon mo na.

6. Hindi mo maipagmamayabang ang iPod mo kasi halos lahat ay meron din.

7. Hindi ka nga nagpupunta sa mall. Namimili ka naman online.

8. Sana ibalik ang freebie bin. I started from scratch and that bin was like a treasure chest.

9. Mabibilang mo na ang mga maituturing best friends mo.

10. Ipinaghahanda ka ng mga friends mo kapag kaarawan mo.

10 Things I Learned in Hawaii and in BYUH: My Sophomore Year (part 2)

1. Nauubos pala ang pera ko sa pag DDR (Dance Dance Revolution).

2. Lahat ng daanan sa school has the same distance from a certain reference point (ex. entering through the side doors compared to entering in the main hallway in the dorms). Dumedepende na lamang sa bilis ng lakad.

3. May tatlong standard na luto ang itlog tuwing agahan: medium, over easy, and scrambled. Alam na ni Chef Sam ang order ko.

4. Pwedeng mag-transform ang sausage into patty. Pwede rin yung patty sa sausage. Gulat nga ako nung naging soup eh.

10 Things I Learned in Hawaii and in BYUH: My Freshman Year (part 1)

1. Ang Hawaii ay parang Pilipinas lang. When you are in Waikiki and miss home, just think of Makati.

2. Ang pinakamalapit na mall ay isang oras at kalahati mula sa paaralan. Kung gusto mo makakita ng mga cute na turistang Hapon, mag-endure ka pa ulit ng isang oras sa bus and lo and behold: KAWAII!

3. Wala kang mabibili kung convert ka ng convert.

4. Siguradong di ka mawawala kung BUS 55 (Circle Island) ang sasakyan mo pauwi.

translation: "Emo ako at emo ka dati kaya may spark dahil we are of the same kind. LOL"

"Tinanong ko ang sarili ko kung ako ay nananaginip na naman dahil sa sobrang kasihayang aking nadarama sa iyong piling. Inakala ko na ang lahat ng ito ay isang ilusyon lamang ngunit iminulat mo ang aking mga mata sa isang tunay na pagsinta."

translation: "Inaantok na ako noon pero nung sabi mo na mahal mo ako eh nagising ako. LOL"

"Sa tuwinang ako ay nasa iyong piling, tila bang wala ako sa mundong ito. Tuwing hawak mo ang aking mga kamay, napapawi lahat ng aking takot at kaba."

translation: "Nung bigla mong hinawakan yung kamay ko eh talagang it was out of this world. Inisip ko tuloy na feeling close ka. LOL"

"Ngayon at ako na ay nasa iyong piling, wala na akong mahihiling pa. Parang isang awitin lamang, ako ay sa iyo, at ikaw ay akin lamang."

translation: "Akin na lang ang PSP mo. LOL"

"Mahal kita Dave."

Iolani Palace

February 20, 2010

Who says Hawaii is only for the white sand beaches? If you think this way, you will totally miss the great history behind this beautiful tropical island. When you go to the heart of the city, you will behold old architectures that are of British style. And who could have imagined that I was able to step and see the beauty of the Iolani Palace? Yes! It is a palace and it is only here in Hawaii among the other states where there a palace is built. And today, Ate Apple and I spent the rest of our afternoon (after shopping from Ross, which is 5 minutes away from this wonderful place) taking photos of the historical site.

IOLANI PALACE

The Iolani Palace is the "official residence of the Hawaiian Kingdom's last two monarchs--King Kalakaua, who built the palace in 1882, and his sister successor, Queen Lili'uokalani." (http://www.iolanipalace.org/)

I am having fun goofing out while Ate Apple is so concentrated on her modeling skils. ^_^

Peek-a-boo

Was Ate Apple thinking about Idris? teehee

And was I thinking about....? LOL.

The Palace Grounds

thank you Ate Apple for taking such candid photos of me. I love it!

tower

it's good the alarm did not go off when we sat by the "no entry" area

feel the sunshine

"welcome to my house"

Ate Apple modeling orange fad

another candid

I did not expect the sun to give such a vignetting effect on this photo. good job Ate!

Idris again. ^_^

a mystery lingers behind the closed windows

very British architecture

the stairway to royalty

looks like the Baroque architecture with sculptures in the ceilings
