PARASOL (Prologue) by Leia Mae "Yummy" Caliston

I saw her one day across the street from my window
holding what I thought was the cutest umbrella of its kind
She wears anticipation on her face
The skies are getting darker looming with rain
Any minute now it's going to fall.
I stood beside her and told her it's going to rain
She said she knew and claimed she was waiting
Right there, I swore the girl was nuts.
I must have been crazy too because I didn't move
I just stood there and watched her lift her face
God, but she's beautiful! I wanted to understand this girl.
I told her my name was Rae. I learned hers was "Lily"
"Well Lily, do you mind if I share your umbrella?" I asked.
"It's not an umbrella but a parasol." she corrected.
And I think I just fell in love with this strange girl...

Because it's a rainy night.

Smile Even Though You're Hurting

Okay. So let me explain my absence from the blogging world. Sickness galore aketch! I just had an eye surgery yesterday. The doctor had to remove the infection in one of my eyes. Eww! I know right? I learned one thing and I hope you'll learn from this too: NEVER TAKE A STY (in vernacular: "timos timos") LIGHTLY. Medical term: Hordeolum (Sty) When the term "timos timos" comes to mind, teasing usually follows. "Hala sin-o gin ling-ling mo?" Believe me, I wish I had someone to peep at. That would have made my sty worth all the trouble. LOL Anyway there is no truth to this and for your information a sty results from blocked glands within the eyelid. When the gland is blocked, the oil produced by the gland occasionally backs up and extrudes through the wall of the gland, forming a lump, which can be red, painful, and nodular. There are two kinds of sty. Internal and external. An external

The Freaks You Meet in a Bar/Club Scene

Cheers to the freakin' weekend I'll drink to that....yeah!! Err..No, I won't since I am in front of my computer writing this blog post. See, I used to enjoy partying all night til dawn in clubs/bars but I think I grew out of it. Before I start my rant, here are important details to know about me: I AM NOT A WILD CHILD, I STUDIED LIKE THE DEVIL DURING MY STUDENT DAYS (i.e.. I don't go out at all), AND THUS, I MADE "BAWI" AFTER I GRADUATED, I'M NOT ALCOHOLIC, I DON'T SMOKE, I DON'T FLIRT WITH MEN IN CLUBS, I DON'T GO HOME WITH STRANGE MEN, I JUST HAPPEN TO LOVE....DANCING. That's about the only reason why I go there in the first place. I love to absorb the music and the energy. So there, now that it's settled... Begin rant. I seem to have lost my interest in the club scene. Well perhaps because I've matured but mostly because the club is now filled with PREDATORS on the prowl for a willing or un-willing prey. Another

Happy Hearts Day L.

Knowing you L, you must be sitting in front of your computer after a long day's work and listening to an Anson Seabra song or Harlem River by Kevin Morby. So, how are you L? Knowing you L, you'll probably look down and smile shyly which others would see as sweet. But nobody really catches the quick second before you force a smile that you were actually hiding the tear that was about to fall had you not bowed your head. Of course, you will say "I'm okay." and shift the conversation and ask how others are doing just to get the attention away from you. Of course L. Of course. You packaged yourself very well over the years L. Like a fortress. The one who takes care of things and others. The go-to girl, the reliable one, the one people run to for practical advice. The strong one, the one who just works and works and works. Yet no one knows L, that you go home empty. Tears that you disallow to fall just welling inside your eyes. You put your bags down and greet
