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 t...

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 bag...

My GM (General Motors) Diet Journey by Leia Mae "Yummy" Caliston

Say what?! General Motors? Isn't that an automobile company? What has the car giant know about dieting? Okay, let me give you a background why I started this diet plan. I am someone who hates the gym. It bores me out of my mind. I love dancing, I love yoga, but I equate the gym to a painful struggle. Besides, I'm just not really comfortable working out with a lot of people and ummm... men. As to why I started. It is because I have gained weight. I mean who wouldn't if you own a place that serves food? Availability and access. I used to be only 105 pounds and I panicked when I checked that I am already 115 pounds (here piggy piggy piggy...) . Some people think they are giving me a compliment when they mentioned I gained weight and they think I got prettier but deep inside me I feel so insecure and I am not comfortable. I am used to my 105 pounds and I want to go back to that. General Motors Diet or GM Diet was starte...
