Hello there, HAPPY HALLOWEEN TOO! Are you enjoying the holiday? I've just visited my mom's grave. My dad's i haven't 'cause he's buried in Cambridge MA. Prayer offering is enough I guess. Cheers!

tnx po uli sa comment. kaya ko po sinabi na nagclog siya sa veins ko kasi po until now, love ko pa din siya na more than friends and kahit gusto ko na mawala feelings ko for him hindi ko magawa kasi lagi ko siya nakikita at lagi nia me binibiro kaya lalo me nahuhulog sa kanya and besides that he's my bestfriend pa. and not only that, para kasi siyang basura na nakakalat sa tabitabi kaya nagbabaha. hehehe(",)

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
