I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside, give them a sense of pride….
I don’t need to bet my little pinky that you sang it, I’m sure you did, but not to worry! no one’s going to be a critic on how funny you sang it, I just want to open your eyes and hearts on how children in this community and in this country should be seen, which is the main reason why the DAVIS bunch went all the way from Makati to Marikina, aside from sharing our Christmas Blessings.
Last Saturday, December 13, the Davis team went to CRIBS foundation in Marikina City to share a day of Blessings, Care and Love to the quite unfortunate little angels who were abandoned by their parents in the care of a very well-meaning institution which is the latter. Everyone, except me came straight from their shifts just to spend the whole morning shopping groceries for these kids, and looking forward to another charitable adventure set forth.
It was everything that we expected and more, we were imagining kids who were orphaned, but we were surprise to find out that they were little cherubs ready to share their buckets of love to us instead of the other way around. Yes, we brought them a lot of supplies and the whole account donated clothes, toys, cute stuff which filled the Box of Blessings ready for their need, but we all didn’t imagine them to actually awaken our sleepy hearts to feel all the possible emotions available that day. The moment we set foot inside the Toddler’s Corner, we were surprised at how these little children of age 2 or less would run towards us and raise their arms for us to carry them so they could get a closer glimpse of their new visitors. They were such intelligent little people who were ready to take us in their embrace as if they knew everyone of us are also tired hearts needing a little bit of comfort in this little space of solace with them, away from the stresses and pressures of the bigger world.
In there, we saw kids play in their little paradise, it was fancy to watch them crawl, walk, run and fall, an almost-perfect picture of kids being nurtured to becoming great people in the future except that it somehow lacks what it literally scars the picture, PARENTS to watch these little milestones, little but what will enormously matter in their life as adults in the sooner, not later time. Parents who will be encouraging them to walking from crawling, and when these kids get a little too impatient walking, balance them when they feel like running and someone to catch them when they stumble.
We played with them like there were no other things to do until we were all too tired carrying them, and it was finally time to go home, we tried to bring the kids down, (at least those who were in our arms) but each time we try to let go, they’ll cling harder and cry, it breaks our hearts to watch this, but we had to go, we also have things to do after this anyway, but nonetheless it pains our soul that parents could desert these wonderful kids, not to be prejudice, I know some of their parents would have their reasons, some might be valid, but it doesn’t change the fact that these are results of a quick exchange of decisions between either parents. They’re just too wonderful, we just met them yet it’s too hard to let go.
One little angel in particular was a surprise, his name was JM , a very baffling individual especially as a child. He was the first to run for embrace when we came but when he hints (puzzlingly) that we would go, he’ll utter those little words as if they are the only words that ever gives meaning to his existence, those words were painfully that of goodbye (bye-bye for a toddler).
It was so sad, that we think what we brought were not enough, we left with broken hearts but solid souls. I myself, though I don’t see it in the nearest future vow that if I can help it, will find ways to make changes on this scenario all over the world. I know that in our own little way, we were able to help supply their needs and gave them the opportunity for a better future, as the CRIBS motto said, TREATING CHILDREN EVERYWHERE WITH PRIDE AND RESPECT AT ALL TIMES.
I only have one wish to end this piece. Life has given these kids this much to be stronger individuals and hopefully they’ll not only have a better Christmas with our simple gifts, but a better life lived full. Let us treasure what we have and I wish that by our example, we inspire a lot to help life a better place not only for these CHILDREN but every CHILDREN we know, Merry Christmas to us all and a Happy, surrounded by Family NEW YEAR.

Black-Coated Rainbow
This is the first band's composition; Jong worked on the accompaniment, I did the lyrics and the tune, Kurt, the magic notes and Dong, the scary base. Will be posting the recording next time.
Alone in your solitary confinement
I was thwarted by the diamonds slowly running down your eyes
I wonder what's this I feel inside
I ravel in your silent cries like approaching paradise
It's hideous to smile on your misery
But I can't help but feel this one's an opportunity
I know you're my black-coated rainbow
Ready to unveil on my Blow
*So I ducked, I walked, I tripped and rise
Trying to get to your paradise
I ducked I walked I tripped and rise
Trying to get to your paradise
My arms are ready to take you inside
Give me this chance and I'll prove you..
I'll prove you tonight
I know cause' i've seen it all before
You're a little girl trapped in a lady's boundaries
You try to hide it from your veil
But i can see the tears inside, and I know
I know
Repeat *
Bridge:
You're my black-coated rainbow
And I'll do everything to unveil your misery
You're my black coated rainbow
I'll throw the black out to make you SHINE. Shine
Repeat*

eye opener
"Not at all. But . . . having experienced the way it feels to think I've lost you . . . my reactions
have changed. My entire being shies away from any course that could inspire that kind of
pain again."

TAROT CARD READING FROM VINCE
TAROT THE ORACLE ARDIE 11/03/08
The 22 major trumps (Arcane) make up the secret core of Tarot. They're the most decorated of the 78 cards, full of hidden meanings. They're adequate to be used in a significant variety of forms of divination. Each Arcane represents and symbolizes different attributes that make up the entire universe and the human mind, because by analogy our mind contains characteristics that it picks up from the universe.
Ardie: Career and Work - Wheel of Fortune
Even though this is a complex period, it is also a very favorable time to logically rethink the position that you occupy in your job, trying to take advantage of those elements that may be helpful for your progress, including changes in positions or even new employers. This is a good period to solve with wit and intelligence pending problems.
Ardie: Friendship - The Devil
It is possible that problems and misunderstandings arise among those friends of yours who are not that intimate. Don't worry about clearing up things that people think that have happened but actually they haven't. Time will prove you right, you just have to wait. Fulfill all the commitments that you have made in a neat and organized way; any sloppiness in your routine may bring about unwanted trouble.
Ardie: Dreams and Projects - Transformation
Don't let fascination with your hopes and dreams alter your contact with reality; this is not a period to allow yourself to be carried away by fantasy. Undoubtedly, you'll be exposed to deep and even unexpected changes. Try to go to as many social clubs and meetings as you can, increase your social participation; this will be very useful and can bring about unexpected benefits. For the time being, don't embark on a new work projects and if you do, think very carefully about them.
Ardie: Personal Concerns - The Empress
Even though you don't mean to, your inner worries may be apparent in your general state of mind. There are some psychological mechanisms that we can not always control; they require an extraordinary strength of character. You are physically and morally in conditions to overcome any circumstance, that is the source of your strength.
Ardie: Transitory Changes - Temperance
Try to moderate your character if you have to deal with matters related to division of state, financial matters or inheritance procedures with your relatives. You'll get what you want if you act with sensibility and justice. If you have to take decisions as regards the health of some relative or an actual illness, be calm, solutions will come up as a consequence of prudence.
Ardie: The Present - The Chariot
There are no doubts that you will be able to solve all of your present problems only with hard work. Your future will be bright if you make a constant daily effort. Your future will be a product of your actions and the wise use of your good will.
Ardie: Love - The Tower (i)
You should be happy if you are able to avoid a stormy period in your relationship. This is an unfavorable time because the meddling of others, especially close relatives, can upset the balance of the relationship with your girlfriend. If this is the case, you'll have to rethink your relationship and apply all your wisdom to impose your willpower to decide the continuity or break-up of the relationship. If you don't have a girlfriend, don't stay at home with your family; go out and face the situation.
Ardie: Economic Situation - The Fool
Undoubtedly, this is a period of reorganization of your assets, rather than a period of growth and prosperity. Organize all your economic interests paying more attention to expenditure and trying to generate a balance that will allow you to save some money. The money that you save, even if it is not very much, will prove that you knew how to take advantage of this period.
Ardie: Health - The Emperor (i)
You'll go through a period of low physical energy and vitality. If your health is deteriorated, it will get better little by little. You'll quickly recover FROM your ailments if you undergo the correct therapy recommended by the doctor.
Ardie: Communication and Trips - The Hierophant
When it comes to talking with your girlfriend, don’t talk for the sake of it. If you don't know very clearly what you want to say, be quiet. You are the master of your silence. In your job use communication as a way of showing your knowledge of certain issues that you are in charge of solving. Don't engage in meaningless arguments; they won't be useful and your superiors may doubt your abilities.
Ardie: Pleasures and Ambitions - The Hanged Man
Not all apparently pleasurable circumstances will give you the opportunity of HAVING a great time. Be very selective and avoid being carried away by irrational impulses. This is not a period to try to achieve your goals. Wait, this will help you save time.
Ardie: Family and Friends - The High Priestess
You're going through a period of amazing intuition which will allow you to give good advice to each one of the members of your family who may need it. Listen carefully to each one of their problems for the advice that you give now will prevent future troubles for everyone. It's very likely that your family and friends talk to you about their problems or even they can make you part of some issues. You have to know how to listen, you'll be wise enough to find the solutions.

rainbow-coated black
he wishes for someone to take care of him
he needs some taking care of
he's cared a lot for too many people
he's drained
he needs understanding
he's needy
he's answered to a lot of needs already
he's demands are unbelievable
exaggerated
he magnifies simple things
him and his wild thoughts
but he's vulnerable as a china waiting to break
he's overcome a big deal
and night comes and goes
the twists of fate left him with a lot of wounds
pangs he tries to escape from everytime he closes his eyes
he's a vagabond
lost for love
needing it
perhaps needing too much
he's a child hidden in a facet of the big wigs who dump
shout and shriek
and know a lot about everything he doesn't
he's scared but he comes in too strong for others to notice
he's needing
he's trying to be strong and big
but he wishes he can be so, to stop pretending
he loves, yes he loves
and he's scared because he does
he believes, and he wishes
he's hard of trusting
he's been betrayed a lot of times
yet he wants to believe
and he wishes '
for he is a rainbow-coated black
who wishes

alone
Ive never felt this cold and alone in my life, got to be honest. There were a lot of times that i wish someone would look at me and be mesmerized by whatever there is in me to look at .And then you came, with those 2 pair of eyes that consumed me from that time that i realized that there might be somethng in me tht someone wud be able to fall for.. I shook my head knwing that ivw always been the option nt too stunning to impact even a herd of sheep. But u made me realize that the entire mountain would sway with how i walk, that the seas would bring me to the horizon i never thought possible to reach.Then you closed your eyes and the thunders brougt me down to a great fall. Im lost im shuddering. Worse. Again after all these emotions i'm alone.
note this was a post ive missed to publish a very longtime ago.

so what
so what, if you don't write about me...
------you tell me everything when we're together anyway
not everyone loves you for me....

------ you inspire me all through out
your poems for me are unoriginal, copied and worn
------ they delight me just the same
you don't always tell me the nicest things
----- i love you for being brutally honest
you've made mistakes, a lot of them actually
----- and so did i
you've not granted me peace of mind yet
----- yet i love you for giving me your piece of shit
you can't even memorize my number
----- but the efforts are undeniably cute
my coffee as usual is forgotten
----- but you're hotter than what i don't want my coffee hot
so what, if you've a lot of flaws
that i love you more than you love me
that you're too lazy to make me feel special
i don't care, the others may give me what you don't, can't and just don't want to
but you are what i need, what i love, and what i'm crazy about
so what? i'm crazy about you
------you tell me everything when we're together anyway
not everyone loves you for me....
so what?

lips sealed..
is it me
or am i not an image to impress
another tear fell
this time, not yours
not mine either
but the future's i unguardedly held
in this dream of ever-after
tommorrow never comes
but the promise of now cuts half a day too long
whenever those unstoppable lips
too dreamy to notice
unveil truths, that i never dreamt told
surfaced,ingenuous details
you readily shared
slaps me to confusion
back to the alpha of my tabula-rasa
only this time, the sheet's not clear
but with traces of conviction erased unpurposedly
i am too intelligent
yet not worth the intellectual orgasm
or is it that you believe that orgasms are only for women
your pen stopped
ideas halted
stock-still
palsied? or frozen
what heat shall i give you
so you'd let it all flow
or am i the wrong mother
for your eggs to hatch crow
is my pencil too sharp?
i doubt!
his proves to be sharper
yet your drive to meet mine
never went as far as you shine for his
lips sealed
let's not verbally cross
let's not
for each time yours open
mine close, with words too many even for two ears

lips sealed
I don’t get it….

or am i the wrong mother
for your eggs to hatch crow
is my pencil too sharp?
i doubt!
his proves to be sharper
yet your drive to meet mine
never went as far as you shine for his
lips sealed
let's not verbally cross
let's not
for each time yours open
mine close, with words too many even for two ears

hi mr.rainbow
say it's your first time to meet mr.rainbow
you've heard a lot about him
but this is the first that your eyes gazed through him
with colors vivid, though transparent it appears
you know you can't really seize him
but the mere sight of him, fills your heart with beating of a stampede.
you've long been anticipating for that moment you'll witness it's majesty
and now it's in front of you
colors hiding what they mean
red like your lips
orange almost unseen
yellow, green blue and violet
you can't touch them but you feel
this is your first, you expect it to shine
but you're disappointed that it doesn't glisten in the sky
you sigh, but you try to understand
maybe the rainbow gets tired of flashing
with the others not so noticing
i'm here mr.rainbow
i look up on you
this is my first time
watching you
i have loved the thought of you
do not disappoint me
expectations they may be
shine for me
this is my first
this might be your last
at least we have met
forget our past
will you promise me that bucket of gold
or have they all seize it in sight
i won't mind
if you've none at all
just shine
for me mr. rainbow

Phantom Of The Opera - All I Ask Of You
No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,to guard you and to guide you.
Christine
Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.
Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,your fears are far behind you.
Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.
Raoul
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from you solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,anywhere you go, let me go too,that's all I ask of you.
Christine
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Say the word and I will follow you.
Together
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.
Christine
Say you love me...Raoul
You know I do.
Together
Love me, that's all I ask of you.Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me...that's all I ask of you.

leaving on a jetplane
the thought of someone leaving never cease to send rumblings in the pit of my stomach...almost the same tingling sensation when something bad happens...sending me to the verge of tears. But with me trying to be half the man that i am everything would close with rolling deep sighs...just seemingly quiet weeping... never noticed.
for the past 21 years of my life.. ive watched people come and go, there are a few who stayed, though thankful that i am they did, i still wish that those who've been attached to me and left would have stayed at least a bit longer...
i still reckon how i would cry whenever my cousins would live at home for vacation and after 2 happy months of quarreling and goofing around will be picked up by their parents. i remember how i would beg them to just let them live with us so we could study together and how i would sleep weeping with pillows over my head so i couldn't breathe whenever they would not let them stay.
the pangs of this childhood dilemma never seem to have left me, something i have never outgrown until now. Whenever i feel someone would go far away, i do the same thing, only that there's no chance to go home, get to bed and cover my face with pillow from the anxiety and pain that i practiced not to be traceable when hearing the farewell news.
i still find it hard to accept that just when i'm about to be very happy with how things are going, things would change, and worse, someone would leave. with no assurances of coming back or keeping the lines open.. friends, lovers, relatives... leaving and bringing with them parcel of my security and happiness with nothing to tell me if they're going to bring it back.
now again, someone's about to leave, someone really close to my heart, i just hope that when the bidding of farewell comes, i'd remain stone-faced, tears hung on my eyelids, and not too full to throw up... until then, i'd consider everything to be changeable., that no date countdown is happening for bidding goodbyes. i'd rest in your arms, and you in mine, until then our hands will be entwined. as they say: the future is a vague dream from NOW.
