All the world’s a stage…and all the man and woman merely players, they have their exits and entrances…W. Shakespeare

As I enter into the portals of this heartwarming- heartbreaking, joyous- arduous, exciting- boring stage called life, I stand amazed by the vast characters I am about to share  scenes in the play of life.

I was once a typical character with usually bit roles to portray, but with extra ordinary dreams and ambitions! Every role I am into was given ample time to master thereby delivered and acted with expertise and smoothness. I was happy…yes, playing my part in the stage with success and pride is both a satisfying and rewarding experience; but happiness is far from contentment! I was aiming for that “lead role” I was dying to portray. How I wished to deliver those lines…to act those scenes…to be eyed with awe…and to be given with extra attention and care among the rest of the characters.

I grew up with that craving for “lead role” aside from various exciting, promising and challenging roles I played, still the intense longing for that single scene being the main character is all I have ever wished for. “We have our own action to play”, so they say. “Give focus and love what you do”…they will add. “Love your craft”, words I had tried to inculcate in my mind from day one I was aware of the existence of this platform. As the days went by, still it was there…even more intense than I could ever imagine. How I wished my love ones would ever look up to me with sparkling eyes, with the sweetest smile and with pulse stopping chill. How I would then love to see the proud gaze from their eyes, the boosting ego from their hearts and the undying enthusiasm to witness the next part.

The existence of this stage means life itself. Everyone is moving…is acting…is living. Everybody is revolving around a certain scene, their own life’s scene… trying to make the most out of what it has to offer. Mastering every single line; Pursuing to be the best, perfecting every act; never giving up with life’s miseries around, making their adlibs wherever and whenever there is a need to; trying to figure out the next move to continue living…This is life, this is stage. Some failed to act with the best they can, even others mess up the whole stage, but some chosen few tend to mumble with the lines and actions with spontaneity, ease and grace.

In reality this is me…trying so hard to be the best on this little role I am playing. Giving the spectators with ‘a tiny’ thing to look up to, be happy in my own simple way; making the very best of life’s play. Master of this I may be, boring as it may seem, but the show must go on…play as it would be the last act. Give the most precise lines and action. There should be no more room for take twos. Be confident…be determined…be firm. Give all you can and never stop dreaming! Who knows the story will be revised…the characters will turn places…so be it, I hope, I wish and I pray…until the next curtain calls!

Only you can Love me this way

Well, I know there's a reason
And I know there's a rhyme
We were meant to be together
And that's why

We can roll with the punches
We can stroll hand in hand
And when I say it's forever
You understand

That you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
But when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind

And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way

I could have turned a different corner
I could have gone another place
Then I'd of never had this feeling
That I feel today, yeah

And you're always in my heart
Always on my mind
When it all becomes too much
You're never far behind

And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
Ooh

And you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind

And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
Ooh

Only you can love me this way

Sorry..I really am!

I’m sorry... I have to leave,

And left you with affliction

With unbearable yearning, of someone to fondle and snuggle

I’m sorry ...it has to be that hard

Leaving home, without someone to cease,

Coming back, without someone to tease

I’m sorry... I won’t be there,

When times get rough …

I can’t be that tough

I’m sorry ...sometimes it’s hard to trust

When everything around you seems to be rust!

There to debauch, the love that ought to last.

I'm sorry... sometimes lying is concealing,

to the anguish one can give,

to the lanquid one can bring...

I'm sorry..I have to admit,

niether can I  give you my shoulder...

nor can  I wipe away your tears

I’m sorry ...saying I love you and I miss you won't be enough

To ease the longing, we both need to pass

In being together,surely those words cannot surpass

Just a little walk with my friends...

 In this place where you always seem to be alone...It feels good to pamper yourself once in a while with a nice walk , food , shopping and cool talk with friends .

cosmetic shopping? ..or mere posing?

The cool winter wind gave  a relaxed mood to the nearly-spoiled night I had...with  unexpected exchange of words with someone who I  least expected it to have with.

a pose-relief after tiring individual work responsibilities

Pretending to be relaxed???

worth the walk

 It was indeed another night to look forward to...        SOON...

relaxing at the sea side behind Movenpick Hotel

Better Left Unsaid... ( To my Best Friend-18th Sept. 2010)

There are things better left unsaid,

For the hurt it may cause can never be altered

    Though I wish to tell you the truth-

    After all “NO SECRETS” we repeatedly deemed and oath

But surely things will never be the same

Once you know, I’m afraid you will truly be lame

    You keep on telling me you are numb,

    Despite the immeasurable pain, never will you succumb

But forgive me, I felt knowing this would break your heart!

It’ll not only give you tears, but even tear you apart!

    I hate feeling guilty, for in fact I should NOT!

    God knows how I love you dearly…without a tiny spot.

I wanted to hold you, and embrace you tightly;

Give you the assurance that life would turn out lightly

    I tried hard to forget, though it’s haunting me and I’m aghast

    I felt so betrayed, turned me into pieces and undeniably abashed

I was deeply hurt…yes, I was bothered-but I don’t care,

It’s you I’ve been thinking, taking chances I won’t dare.

    But then I come to realize…forgiving would ease the pain,

    And forgetting would turn the heartaches, into futile and vain!

It will heal my wounded mind, pamper my bruised soul;

Bring back my confidence, with less effort and toil!

    Being open and frank, not subtle –“that’s what I want” you said;

    Since our FRIENDSHIP is eminent, that is what I tried and now I did.

And so I thank you, now I’m a bit at ease,

But so sorry I know, in ebb you are …not at peace!

    All I can give you is my fervent prayer and promise,

    To make all the means, for your happiness to flourish

Ask for the TRUE strength, that only God can give,

Assure you of REAL FRIENDSHIP that will last till the end!

Faith...in every sense...

     FAITH without work, is dead! A biblical line which is very very true!
For the Skeptics, Faith is a non-rational belief in some proposition. A non-rational belief is one that is contrary to the sum of the evidence for that belief. A belief is contrary to the sum of the evidence if there is overwhelming evidence against the belief, e.g., that the earth is flat, hollow, or is the center of the universe. A belief is also contrary to the sum of the evidence if the evidence seems equal both for and against the belief, yet one commits to one of the two or more equally supported propositions. On religious side, it is a strong belief in a religion based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. While  A scientist's "faith" is built on experimental proof. The two meanings of the word "faith," therefore, are not only different, they are exact opposites.
However, Faith in "something" will only be rewarded and enjoyed by one who ACTS! Act to do it...to live with it...to accomplish it...and to achieve it!

The Mechanic

Just watch the movie, "the Mechanic"  originally starred by Charles Bronson but the remake of Jason Statham awaken my long lost love for action movies... simply fabulous! Love the action...love the twist..A typical Statham movie, like the Transporter but with a higher dose of brutality...an elite hit man Arthur Bishop (Statham) as he teaches his trade to an apprentice who has a connection to one of his previous victims.(His father in fact) Indeed another spectacular from Simon West !Superb! 5 star for it.....

well...with nachos in cheese and hot pickles made it more perfect...lol!

Only You Can love me This Way

no one that comes close to you could ever take your place...coz only you can really love me this way...

Making memories of us...

just love this song....check it

A walk to remember...

Once again, a long walk in downtown Manama last night gave me a tiring but a very rewarding experience. From  savoring the cool winter wind to feasting my eyes on glittering billboards where I found amusement and subject of beauty, since I enter into this world of Designs and Advertising. True indeed, that sometimes, we have to go out of this world in our own little crazy way...

A weekend self treat...

Who  will say that you cannot enjoy and treat yourself after a long week work? What a  nice feeling I had yesterday night and last night...well, at least for the meantime that I have to compose myself , and eventually accept the reality that I am now living on my own...far from my love ones.
Have you ever experienced walking in the busy highways at night in the place far from where you used to be? Quite absurd, but I realized it's interesting and even very relaxing! My new found friend tell me about this kind of experience and I even laugh in disbelief. But you will never like it unless you experienced it by yourself. It is a somewhat tense relief...mind rejuvinating and mucsle relaxing as well. (though I had a cramps twice coz I am wearing my office high heeled shoes that time  :P) After walking,I treated myself with a sip of a nice wine while watching the all Filipino band...What a night! The long walk gave me a feeeling of freedom...away from the painful reality of life.....

In Pieces I am

In the prime of life...
suddenly
A gist of purpose,a kernel of thoughts
How can a blast of feeling
averted  with ease and  smooth?
Never look at me 
with the glaring eyes of askance
beneath the peeking smile,
is a cascade of tears
tough it is...never been prosaic
struggling to emancipate 
the bound rooted for years
Mortal is this, surmise you must not!
Till you come and be someone
with my own soul try to breathe
Skeptical may seem...
but sound judgment I never claim
Far from the verity, unobjectionable and whole
now this is me,
in smash pieces i am...
waiting not to be devoured or volley
but someone to cull, in own  heart be cache

In the wonderful world of Designs....

Who would have thought?..from the fulfilling arena of classroom...with books, pens and papers as the sparring partner ,here I am now in  the exciting and interesting limelight of exhibitions and design!

....Let the show begin....

the journey begins....

...This is the beginning of a new life for me. Enough of the usual daily sweet smile when at ease...or even the frowning on moody times. This is indeed the turning point of my career. Gone are the days when I can move freely with my own thoughts and styles...when I can act as my own self...when I can relax with my own spirit...when I can be what I wanna be in teaching strategies.
Today...my whole world will revolve in a place where I never dreamed  to be...with people I never dreamed to mingle with...and to a life beyond my imagination! 
Today marks my Roller Coaster life....Brace yourself  Cato....
