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.

The Woman and The Bird (A Tragic Love Story): A Lesson for Jealous and Insecure Women

Once upon a time, there was a bird. He was adorned with two perfect wings and with glossy, colorful, marvelous feathers. In short, he was a creature made to fly about freely in the sky, bringing joy to everyone who saw him. One day, a woman saw this bird and fell in love with him. She watched his flight, her mouth wide in amazement, her heart pounding, her eyes shining with excitement. She invited the bird to fly with her, and the two traveled across the sky in perfect harmony. She admired and venerated and celebrated that bird. But then she thought: He might want to visit far off mountains! And she was afraid, afraid that she would never feel the same way about any other bird. And she felt envy, envy for the bird's ability to fly. And she felt alone. And she thought: "I'm going to set a trap. The next time the bird appears, he will never leave again." The bird, who was also in love, returned the following day, fell in...

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...

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...
