Purpose of Poetry

Poetry is putting a diaphanous veil over something unappealing, speaking regarding it just subdued enough to put into oblivion how abraded and festering and suppurate the wound is.

It’s a language of emphasizing inspiration, subjectivity – of Romanticism and painless augury, full of fanatical sentimentalism and compelling twists of the tongue.

Metaphors are hazardous travesty, using a sort of transfiguration to turn wordless sentiment into imaginable circumstances.

The way the anguish rios through yoyr body and flusters your every bones compelling you to envision misery as it pull you down to great depths and choking breaths.

The truth is, poetry is a deceiver, a fibber, an equivocator. Never fall for its exquisitely crafted stanzas causing slips into the dense fog of nostalgia.

19th Birthday

It’s Christmas Day today! and it’s my 19th birthday too! Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you had a blast! We’re almost on the final week of the year! It’s a brand new year and a brand new start!

Have a blessed season full with love and sharing!

LATELY…

How am I feeling?

I am feeling happy these past few weeks with all my college friends and family. Something is just so amazing about them. And right now, I just feel so ecstatic that I had to write this blog. Today was fun, I spent the day with my family. I’m glad that Christmas and my birthday fall on the same day because who needs expensive and materialistic gifts when I get to see my family — the best gift ever.

… and right now, I just feel so overwhelmed by the gifts I have received from everyone.

What I’ve been up to lately?

I am up for the season and by that it means that I’ve been keeping myself busy with a lot of things. We went to Intramuros last week just to get inspired, we also had a caroling session to help the kids in an orphanage, we had gift giving for the children in the community and of course I was quite busy looking for something I can give to my godchildren.

Reading

Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder. I started to read this after seeing this on the list of recommended books in Goodreads and the synopsis really caught my attention. It’s something like a book about philosophy and it’s my first time read something written by Jostein Gaarder so I am very psyched to read this. This book is my 99th of 100 in the One Hundred Books Challenge this year and I am pretty confident that I am not going to fail on the challenge.

Watching

Harry Potter Series!!!! Christmas wouldn’t be complete without Harry Potter movie marathon! This is like a tradition!!!

Listening

Since 2011, I always find myself listening to Justin Bieber’s Under the Mistletoe Album. Of course I’m a belieber *winks*

and it just feels so good to listen to Justin (it’s always the most beautiful time of the year)

Thinking

Loved ones who are in heaven.

Thought of the day:

So, we fight, so, we fight through the hurt, through the hurt
And we cry and cry and cry and cry
And we live, and we live, and we learn, and we learn
And we try and try and try and try
