all about Cato's Atheneaum

A journey to a life worth keeping...

...all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players...

As I continue to act on this joyous-arduous, funny-crazy,exciting-frightening stage so called LIFE...I begin to wonder...Could it be possible in this prime of life, I would be able to play the much awaited LEAD ROLE?
..still pursuing...still fighting...still aiming...

Until the last curtain call...

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!
