01-06 Buksan ang posibilidad na maaaring mali tayo.
01-10 Fear is not respect. Only fools would think otherwise.
01-12 There are those who are sad they evoke your sympathy. And there are those who are whiny you want to put a sock in their mouths.
01-14 Three questions future kids will ask: 1) Where is Pluto? 2) What is a Triceratops? 3) Why don't I know at least one Ophiuchus among old people?
01-18 If you haven't heard, two wrongs don't make a right.
01-19 Art should be a reflection of who we are, how we feel & what our soul yearns at the time we make it.

02-19 Bite the hands that feed you when you realize it's been giving you poison.
03-05 Take a song you like that has a video for it. Think about the music without the suggested visuals. Do you honestly suppose you would've liked it even if you weren't aware the video?
03-06 When we were kids, it wasn't hard to tell the difference between what's real & what's bullsh*t. But we got brainwashed into believing that the king has clothes even if our eyes tell us that he's totally naked parading down the streets. So to the children of today: doubt the so-called adults.
03-19 Hedonism often stifles creativity.
04-11 Boredom should NEVER be an excuse. There's always something exciting to do every minute you're alive!

06-20 Ang buhay ni Rizal ay patunay na handang gumamit ng paraang baluktot ang makapangyarihan upang alisin ang banta ng makatotohanang pag-iisip. Ngunit sa huli, tama ang mananaig pagkat 'di man sadyain, ilalantad nito ang kanilang kasamaan at syang pupukaw sa kamalayan ng marami.
07-14 It is my belief that the soul directly speaks to other souls. It's the reason why our instinct & gut feeling can tell us if what one offers or does is indeed the genuine primal voice of his/her inner being.
07-15 As the giant golden moon greeted me tonight, everything else around turned to black & white.
07-19 Overprotection is either a conscious or an unconscious act to preserve power over others
08-17 Even though you can save money from buying something on sale, you can actually save more if you don't buy it.
09-13 Just because everyone is saying it, doesn't mean it's true. And 'everybody doing it' doesn't make it right.
09-15 Real love is beyond religion, beyond beliefs, and even deeper than romance.
09-22 Brain farts are shallow thoughts quickly announced. We should carefully choose what to say specially in writing. Not everything in our minds should go public.

10-07 In music, two of the leading genres have fitting names. One is like an instant beautiful floating thing that everyone sees but suddenly POPs and goes away too quickly. The other is a taken-for-granted rugged piece of creation that stands the test of time just like a ROCK - having much more weight and possesses a different kind of beauty.
10-28 We shouldn’t be contented reading/watching other people's stories, marvelling at their paintings or photographs and singing their songs. If we have the ability, we should weave new tales, compose original images and create our own music. Creativity thrives when we share the ideas inside our heads.
10-31 A woman lets go of what she carries inside. Just so she can hold & be with her child.
11-14 Time and again, I have shed old skins - of which I am not ashamed of. For each helped me grow; and gave me chance - to change and adapt, to evolve and not be trapped.
11-21 Loyalty is oftentimes blindness.
11-23 Knowledge is power but all kinds of power can be intoxicating that you may fail to notice the harm it does to others and to yourself. Now pair it with humility and you can do wonders!
12-07 I rarely watch music videos because music is intended for & is best experienced by the ears, not the eyes.
12-12 Watching a noon-time show laughing at people acting stupid just for the money. Then I realize, 'Hey sometimes we look stupid in the office too! And we're there for the money as well. So we might not be different from those TV contestants after all.'
12-20 Take only what you need. But the rich is driven by greed. So as the earth does what is just, the poor turns victim in the rush.
12-25 Merry Christmas one and all! Gather your friends around, open a bottle of wine & believe in miracles!

Putik sa inuming tubig.
Hindi lubos maisip, hindi rin mawari
Sa puso at isipan pansing may bumabalot
Dahan-dahang pag-usbong ng tahimik na sigalot
Bulong niya rito, bulong niya rin doon
Salitang matatalim pabayang itinatapon
Hinugis, itinanim, kinalat nang biglaan
Kanya palang pintas ay kanya mismong kasalanan
Pinunong naturingan ayon sa antas
Nakikipaligsahan sa paraan ng isang ahas
Ngunit kahit sino'y 'di malilinlang
Magtago man sa maskara, kulay mo'y lulutang

Last Night in America
Over distant winds I am a feather that floats
Rising and falling towards a land that waits
The streets are humming coldly from it's lonely weary throat
I let the clouds grab me to get me back in place
I'm a branch traveling slowly on the current of time
Delivered by deafeaning howls of a moon that's out of sight
The air that moves around me dethrone the big blue sky
And makes this wood invisible to morning & to night
Deep as forests, steep as those hills
Clear as water, hours will fulfill
A rooted longing that never has expired
To lie in the heart and flesh of my city with my breath open wide
__

When we die, we wake up.
Strange & weird.
Bitter but beautiful.
Shallow yet deep.
Each life is merely a dream.
Let us learn as much as we can.

Notable Phrases & Sentences I posted on Facebook in 2010
02-02 Let us not be carried away by what is popular. Mass mentality is not always right. More often than not, the alternative is the better choice.
03-06 Have the ability to laugh at yourself when you realize you're wrong. Admit being at fault. We're forever in the process of learning, after all.
03-14 My vivid elaborate dreams are visions of the past, of the present, but mostly of the future. When they serve as a warning, I try to decipher them as much as I can because metaphors are hard to figure out. But everytime one happens in reality, it still takes me by surprise. So to remind myself, I write and sing about some of them.
03-19 The idea of 'everybody else is doing it so it's OK' is just plain wrong. We might be pressured by the voices of the crowd but we ought to listen to our own voice instead.
03-22 You can never be a perfect friend to anyone. Same thing as no one can be a perfect friend to you. Unless we accept people for who they are and not who we expect them to be, we will always be disappointed.
03-26 The time when I hate politics the most is during the campaign period. Polusyon. Ingay. Plastikan. Lalo na ang pause ng pagkakaibigan at pagiging magkapamilya dahil iba ang partidong pinapanigan. (Pollution. Noise. Hypocrisy. Especially the pause of friendships & family-ties because the parties they support are different.)
04-19 Not one person nor group can ever completely represent the place where he/they came from. As two individuals cannot be exactly alike, it is even more impossible to have a generic description of any community's people.
04-27 Get on. Get off. Fit in. Fit out. Accept. Resist. Confirm. Deny. Take apathy & forget control; sympathy for a lost soul. Figure out the figurine; a candle-lit statuette. You're standing in the same position. Years passed by, still no direction.
05-09 To the most selfless person I know; the most courageous woman I've seen to survive countless battles in her life; a woman of grace with her mixture of intelligence & spirituality; to my dear Nanay, Happy Mother's Day! You are an inspiration to many. A light that shines bright everyday. I love you.
05-11 Bakit kailangang idagdag ang 'Honorable' sa pangalan kapag may posisyon sa gobyerno? Gayung mahigit nobenta porsyento naman sa inyo hindi kagalang-kagalang.
05-22 Doubt is the window to the truth.
05-23 Create your own playlists. Don't just rely on what's being spoonfed.
05-30 Faster the wounds will heal, take your mind on a vacation. On the walls appear all my home-made constellations. Who are we to question what is written on these pages? When each of our actions are expected on the stages.
06-10 We have to read more books than posts on Facebook, Twitter & Blogs.
06-14 This is the sad state of local music: Dead ringers (vocally) and good-looking performers/interpreters are applauded more than the real musicians. Read: Original earnest artists.
07-12 Spoonfeeding & overkill here and there. Whatever happened to restraint & moderation?
07-12 You can have lots of common denominators with other people but your individuality will still and always differentiate you from them.
07-19 "One artist's own expression can never be perfectly replicated by an interpreter." -Royce Obong
08-02 Is Alternative still the alternative to what's mainstream? Does Punk still veer away from making ubiquitous-sounding music? Does Rock still even possess the ideologies of its origins? Funny how brands can evolve into their roots' exact opposite.
08-13 Most of us take pride in owning beautiful things that we bought. However, anyone with the right amount of money can do that. Now compare those to the things we made ourselves, the DIYs, the fruits of our own creativity. The former is just for bragging rights while the latter defines us.
08-17 If Synergy is 1+1=3 and Totalitarianism is 2+2=5, what do we make of it?
08-26 (RE: Quirino Grandstand Hostage Situation) Seriously, although this unfortunate event calls for a re-assessment of the country’s police force, keep in mind that no one wanted this so we might want to stop the blame game. Bless the souls of the victims - including Mendoza.
08-25 And if you really can't be original, cite your source.
08-26 I am no David. I tremble at the thought of Goliath. That monster rips away my strength even from afar. I am tempted to run but I know I must tackle him. So help me God.
08-31 Follow the white rabbit on the yellow brick road and let him take you down 'cause he's going to Strawberry Fields - where every moment is so precious, you wouldn't wanna change a thing.
09-01 I am listening to the yearning of my soul and I translate it to music.
09-08 So I'll take my brain, put it in a box then lock it to make sure it's safe until I'd need it again. That might be a while.
09-09 Commercialism killed the cat.
09-09 Avoid repetition. Avoid repetition. Avoid repetition.
09-14 Sometimes you know yourself and sometimes you think you know yourself. But do not be too troubled by self-doubt as it is a natural reminder to check yourself from time to time.
09-16 The line you walk could never be straight for there will always be inevitable turns. Just be careful of going in circles.
09-16 Is prooofreading dead?
09-29 Do you do nothing but whine about your problems when you see your friends? That's the fastest way to lose them.
09-30 Common Taglish mistake: Tagalog prefix 'Na' English verb in past-tense. This is redundancy in one word.
10-01 An hurob-hurob ug panhadlok sa masa nga gintutuod san kadam-an bisan nano kalawsi, mao an paagi san iba nga grupo para makahimo karat-an nga gutiay la an witnesses. History repeating. Di pa kit nahinanaram. (Outrageous misleading news believed by many are purposely utilized by certain groups so they can spread evil deeds with as few witnesses as possible. When will we ever learn?)
10-03 Strumming & humming along to the beat of the dusk.
10-06 The truth is not subjective. It is an immovable rock in the bottom of a wild river; an unstoppable wind during a heavy storm. No one can deny its power, nor even doubt its steadfastness.
10-07 Being different shouldn't be an effort. Otherwise, you're guilty of 'trying hard'.
10-09 The more we advance in technology, the more society go backwards intellectually.
10-10 Music is god. What's your religion?
10-11 While entertainment gets laughable & ridiculous after years, art is a servant of timelessness.
10-12 In the age of forums, everybody's a critic. In the age of networking, everybody's a celebrity.
10-14 Do not idolize all lead characters in films. Sometimes they're examples of what not to be.
10-14 I don't mind the clutter nor the space they occupy; I prefer things touched and smelt. Not trapped inside screens that abuse my eyes. Keep it tangible.
10-19 We're running on high-speed, forgetting the beauty of watching things unfold. Films. Relationships. Food. Growth. The process is as enjoyable as the end result.
10-19 Ladies, watch what you wear. Lewdness is often mistaken as high-fashion. Not that we're complaining.
10-22 Everyday, I have a little game I call "Who said it?" in which whenever I see a quote with no source, I google it and find out. 99% of the time it works!
10-25 There is no rationality behind domestic physical abuse. There will never be a good reason for such a twisted act. Even more so when it's done to a child.
10-26 Why liquor-bans during elections? Because after 2 days of no alcohol victory is much sweeter when you're drinking. And loss more depressing.
10-26 There's always a loophole in the law. You either find it or you make one. This is one sad giant truth about our country that most choose to ignore. It's something I am not proud of.
11-01 Dreams. It's the stuff legends are made of. Use it wisely.
11-09 One may have the ability to play all the instruments in the world even with skills that reach perfection but it will always be originality & identity that determine the quality of a musician.
11-10 Cheers to youth! And when it's gone, as beauty & strength have faded, we'll look back on these days and sweetly marvel upon our legacy.
11-20 Our country is a favorite concert destination of once-popular musicians who could no longer come up with new material. Because we're suckers.
11-23 Ex-Undersecretary of Tourism says plagiarism is an accepted process in the arts. Twisted beliefs like that are one of the reasons why the Philippine government is so f*cked-up.
12-06 December is the hardest month to lose weight. With all those celebrations, you feel like everyone is conspiring to sabotage your plans.
12-09 Music has been turned into ghosts - things with no bodies.
12-11 No man is an island but no one died from the lack of peer pressure either.
12-14 Someday we will all realize that birth & death are interchangeable.
12-21 Do not underestimate your dark side for it can surprise you. Fact is each is made up of two opposing forces. Achieving balance is the key.
12-23 The length of one's holiday spirit is inversely proportional to his/her age. Happy, kids?
12-24 Your gadget is not your brain. More often than not, it amplifies laziness & depletes resourcefulness.
12-24 May this Christmas bring us love - the kind that God has showed us by sacrificing His own Son to prove how divine it can be. Bless you whatever your religion is!
03-06 Have the ability to laugh at yourself when you realize you're wrong. Admit being at fault. We're forever in the process of learning, after all.

Hey There!
Do you wash your tongue with words of wisdom?
Do you wet your face with the morning sun?
Are you awake in the night, dreaming of sleep?
Are you ready for the future without knowing what it is?
Do we know ourselves more than what we see in the mirror and our friends' description?
Are we more than our names? Or do we even fit our names?
I'm in love with the world.
Are you?

YAXARIS PAROLě [02/03/07]
I dreamt the sky was falling
I was lying on the ground
In a cloudless night when the stars are still
And my heart had its fill
I dreamt the sky was falling
Over a place entirely made of empty spaces
Open my hand, open my eyes
So this is how it feels to leave
To leave a dream which I thought was everything
I saw the stars alive
They surrounded me, arranged unwillingly
I floated in non-existence
A non-existent crowd afraid to move
But I was one of them, floating in a dream
Free
Free from the worries of earthly pain
Free
Free from the burden of me and you and everyone
I was lying on the ground
In a cloudless night when the stars are still
And my heart had its fill
I dreamt the sky was falling
Over a place entirely made of empty spaces
Open my hand, open my eyes
So this is how it feels to leave
To leave a dream which I thought was everything
I saw the stars alive
They surrounded me, arranged unwillingly
I floated in non-existence
A non-existent crowd afraid to move
But I was one of them, floating in a dream
Free
Free from the worries of earthly pain
Free
Free from the burden of me and you and everyone
