Sleepy Head

Alone is the sleepy head
Lying on his bed
Tired but gladly...
Starting again happily.

Alone no more the sleepy head
Wandering on his bed
This fast paced attraction
Cannot resist gravitation.

Happy is the sleepy head
Contented but hungry
A temporary parting
Made space for longing.

Excited is the sleepy head
To exciting places one can head
Excited and he misses
The hugs and lovely kisses.

So many words swimming in my head. It's like there is a continuous orgasmic explosion of words and thoughts inside my mind that I am having difficulty blurting out in words or writing... My head feels like bursting.... I want to open it apart.

Thoughts on my way home.

"We must not make people change, but we have to inspire them to change... On their own time at their own will."

"We must not let our emotions get in the way of our logic and our ability to decide what's best for ourselves, and for everyone around us." - I got some parts of it from Star Trek.

"The truth doesn't always set us free, sometimes, it imprisons us into paranoia or it sucks out our sanity."

I just watched Slumdog Millionaire

It was a hot and humid Sunday night although it was raining. I have to shut my windows to prevent rain from spattering inside my condo. I'm on vacation, so I decided not to check my work email yet, instead watch DVD movies. I prepared two DVD's on my small Japanese table beside my computer keyboard. One was Slumdog Millionaire, the other was Casshern. I decided to watch Slumdog Millionaire first because I haven't watched it yet.

Oh by the way, yes, I have a pirated copy, somebody lent it to me. But anyways, back to the movie...

I will not write reviews about the movie, because a lot has been written about it. But instead... How I felt afterwards and what I have realized. The movie is of course about a boy who lived in the slums of India and how dreams can come true. The movie is set mostly in the slums, which was worst than what we have here in the country. It made me think that India, a country we envy because of their technicality and how they conquered the Outsourcing world, could have such slums. Most of the slum areas here in Manila even have somewhat decent and private restrooms. India and the Philippines have so much in common when it comes to the people living in the slums. The petty criminals depicted in the movie are so much like what we have here... I am not sure if we have crime organizations who uses children to beg for private profit... I heard we have, but no confirmed reports so far... Or I have been not watching nor reading the news.

The movie well depicted how it is to be living in the slums and to be that poor. The crowded streets, the tight alleyways, the lack of privacy due to rooms that are so small and close to eachother. The foul smell, the nosy neighbors, the dirty and unsafe environment. But somehow, if one belongs to such neighborhood or live there, one is safe, people protect their kind. It's like a fraternity of some sort.... I am pertaining in Manila. But whichever part of the globe we go, poverty may be the same or more cruel. It is a problem that a lot of countries face toughly.

Us Filipinos should appreciate our country's stature. Despite of the political issues and gender discriminations going on. We are still lucky that our culture is less discriminating than others. Each culture has their own beauty and hidden unspoken handicap, we're humans.

The movie has a simple message, dreams do come true... If we persevere.

Superficial

We all gaze at the stars
Staring at them like gold bars
Salivating for some,
Wishing they are for keeps

But no matter how beautiful
...we are to them
...or them to us
We become disdainful.

Then we gaze back at the stars.
