when friends hurt each other

some people think its cool to be cool.
some pretend they're sad when they are happy.
some scream when they really have nothing to say.
some make promises they have no intention to keep.
some write the most silly things.
some people are busy with the most mundane things.

i have no need for cool-ness.
nor sadness and promises.
i dont want you to write apologies, or scream your frustrations.

i need you to BE.
to stop making excuses for who you are and what you are.
i need you to SEE.
to allow yourself freedom from things that dont really matter.
i need you to FEEL.
to enrich yourself with the smells, tears, smiles of what we know as LIFE.
i need you to DARE.
be as free as the weed that keps trodden yet continues to live,
as patient as the tiny flower who waits to be admired,
as gentle as the wind though it knows its power,
as fierce in your convictions as the sun, as powerful, as life-giving.

tikay aka "rose"

my preggy friend. weird.10 years ago, 5 years ago, a year ago we were laughing about it. how would she look like pregnant? eewww!!! but the most exciting discussion will always be the "how", the "making", the tooot.... hahahha! now she wears flower prints everyday. she wears it on her hair, around her neck, on her blouse, flower blouses, pants with flowers..she looks like a garden. but she's one happy bu-rose and she blooms like her flowers. ako kaha? when kaha ko mahimong garden?siguro kung ako maburos lasang ang akong theme. hehehe.haay. :)
