Sam's ShortTakes Unlimited: February 2010

an etude to march, in advance...

time flies so fast,
how i shall deal with this?
shall it be done with passagio?

or will it be worth anything...at all?

is there a way to hold on tight to my evening memories,
or brushes of wispy melodies, to the shoulders that i often cry on...
as time suddenly runs - that it can't be - stopped? or so, seemingly.

my days are often cut short,
my nights are filled with much longing,
as the tide form a wintry cry...waiting to be heard by YOU.

my heart is now, albeit slowly, trying to heed the calling...
waiting for your smile, hoping for your embrace -
AND, after all, each embrace, and each sigh hold a promise -
for all who stay still and those who will never be silenced.

hoopla!

another mid-february afternoon - amidst tons of errands to run, events to do, duties and responsibilities to act on - i am happy to note that everything is turnin' out just fine...humdrum may seem to be a thing of the past year, as another happy, grateful and kinda sweltering (almost) summertime is upon all of us again...

yep, everyone's (well, almost everyone's, hehe) favorite summertime is almost here (takin' into consideration your topographical location and/or atmospheric conditions)...as the ranges and changes in tropical climate are slowly bein' felt by where i am at...

i am learning to love the intense heat of the summer sun - as early as today, i am doing my share of purchasing sunblock, lip balm, after-care skin lotion, face and body treatment, hand and nails emollients, quick relief items before camping out again - who knows where summertime roads would lead us again (hint, hint)...

as most of my summer camp friends would say it: "time to hit the roads, surf among the swells of the seas and stay cool inspite of the heat".

thoughts are runnin' fast inside my head as my fingers are kinda unable to type as fact as to how my thinking brain is sendin' out various flashes of ideas, may be new trends to analyze and other note-worthy bits of information goin' on overload, may be - on overdrive...

meanwhile, a lot of new and emerging green ways of recycling and renewable energy sources are cropping out into the open - biodegradable, reusable and revolutionary ways and/or measures that may either thwart, trigger or help save planet Earth - either locally, regionally, communal, nationwide and, maybe, even on a global scale. recent trends on polymer(e), organic vegetables and oil surplus are still untapped to their top level of evolvement, solubility, reaction to other solutes and, whether or not, these may lead to leaching into the soil - and if these recent discoveries are capable of withstanding the intense heat from the sun's rays, affect the water cycle, enable soil erosion, and its effects (good or bad) should likewise be taken into consideration...

from my standpoint (note: i am not claiming self-righteousness or be a miss-know-it-all), these renewable energy sources are always a goldmine of novelty, raw, volatile, harmful, unsteady and improper to even be discovered, less alone be put out into the open. as fear for human survival, food shortage, bush fires, unannounced snowfall, challenging ways of trying to combat the pain of annihilation, intrepid diagnosis or erstwhile and un-ratified prepositions and gargantuan propositions that may either contribute to the decline of an already declining weather span, tidal disputes, unchartered deep ends of the glaciers, uninhabited land areas and maladjusted trivia that could either hamper, deceive, uproot (albeit unintentionally) and pull back all the brave new usage of Nature's ability to renew, to heal, and to provide humankind with another happy day (and night) to look forward to...altho, these ideas and approaches as to how each of us could help in saving planet Earth may seem to be so far-fetched, the hopeful ways from our collective efforts are starting to take shape, as we all look out for each other (even a smile given, a word of appreciation taken, goodwill and laughter shared, food for hugs, meal tickets in exchange for newly-harvested fruits, maybe?)...all these are welcome respite to an unending search for life-changing attitude, ideals, idealism, or truths that would only lay claim to the unfathomed depths of the human mind...

my take; like always, you could either stay inside or outside your comfort zones, stay calm but focused on every task at hand, greet each day with a loud bellow from your achy-breaky lovely day and then take a heartbreaking nosedive into a pool of sleep. irregardless, these are just bits of the happy days, giggly nights, summer hideaways, balmy evenings, unending hugs, post-Valentine kisses, and other humane touches of just bein' there for each other.

these will be for now.
have a very happy day, bloggers!

have a very happy day everyone!!!

it's almost Valentines' Day...to all the hopefully romantic, hopelessly romantic and hummingly romantic --- well, happy hearts' day in advance!!!

figure this out: as most would say: valentines' is the most commercialized day ever (sendin' a very happy hearts' day would cost you either a bunch of roses, boxes of chocolates and a repertoire of love songs) - from where i am at - this selling out and/or selling your self on this premise would even leave you to rethink your priorities (whether to stay single, look for a companion, simply look around for true friends or just keep in mind that whatever happens, it's always good to know that your heart will always be in the right place - whether it's the love day, the love month or finding the love of your life)...

lemme just careen into the loving side of my otherwise so-called lovelife, hehe. mind you, dearies...it's like a merry mixUp of travelogue, travails, episodes, heartAches, trembling with fiery and imagined nights (or days, maybe) - i am not even sure as to how i will ever come up with the best words to describe the state of my heart nowadays - do i even make sense to you? guess not?! believe me, the trappings of love will never be enough for those who have experienced LOVE in it's truest and noblest sense...LOVE always seem to make the world go 'round...

to the young ones - here's to a kinder and peaceful day of hearts' to you...
to my generation ("30 something na eh...") have a Happy Valentine's Day, in advance!
to all the bloggers out there, same greetings too, go out to you!

tc, always.
cheers!
