Almond Eyes by Leia Mae "Yummy" Caliston

Another poem I wrote.

Limpid pools of almond eyes
Staring straight into my soul and reading my mind.
Seeing what lies beneath
Waiting for things that are hidden to unravel.

Darn those almond eyes which turn my knees to jelly
As they bore into mine
Everything seems to be all right.

My heart skips a beat each time you do that
If only I could wipe those tears you shed for her
If only I could take away your pain.
To see those eyes smile again.

When you look at me, is it really me that you see?
Or remnants of her that you wish I would be...
But when you look at me with the saddest of eyes,
I know that there is no room for lies.

Let me be the one to quiet the waves,
Lift you above them for I am your friend.
But when I'm all alone,
All I can think of are almond eyes.

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

Pronunciation Nazi

Please allow me to be a total Nazi on the pronunciation of some words commonly mispronounced by Filipinos. I am in no way perfect and just wanted to give you a "for-your-information" kind of post because you don't know how much I try to control myself not to correct you when I hear you mispronounce some words so as not to embarrass you publicly. But you have to know that this is one of my pet peeves. 1. Firm/Confirm correct pronunciation: ( fɜːm)/ (con"fur"m) mispronounced as: (fEErm)/(confEErm) I don't know how this started but ever since we were in primary, secondary and tertiary education it has always been pronounced with a short "i". But nowadays I hear some people say it with the long "i". i.e. I already "confEErmed" it with him. And I was like: (?!!?!?!?!?!?!). No people it is not a trend. Even if it is, it is not good to listen to. You sound uneducated. 2. Lettuce correct pronunciation: (letis) mispro

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
