Flying
Bird and Fish
Chyi
Yu
I'm a fish, you a flying bird.
If not for your accidental loss of control of speed,
If not for my incidental glimpse and searching gaze,
There would not have been our star-crossed love affair.
You are brave, I fatalistic.
You're a wandering bird perching on any place.
I'm a fish having long since lost my warmth.
The blue sky and the blue sea pose an embarrassing gulf of difficulty
between you and me.
Why talk about heaven and earth, four seasons, and day and night?
Why bother about the sky and the sea, heaven and hell, evening drums and
morning bells?
Always Together ... Forever Apart...
Sleepless night, and trouble in awakening the next morning.
Spring flowers, how can they get to know the autumn fruits?
Today's tragic failure, how can it forgive yesterday's blindness?
The flying bird, how come it fell in love with the fish?

Once in a Lifetime
Kenny Loggins and Human Nature
Runaway Bride
Something about you
Oh, could it be I finally found
My destiny
Now here you are
Within my reach
How did I miss you? (how did I miss you)
When you were out there all the time
It took this moment
To make me realize...
Once in a Lifetime
You find your reason for living
You find the one that makes your every dream
Come true
(Find the one that makes your dreams...)
Oh I could search the world forever
But no one else could do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you
Ahh..
Once in a lifetime, ohh
I've waited for so long (so long)
Makin this can't nothin be but a lie
Cause all about
Standing by wind, oohh
Alone in the crowd, oh oh oh
I went through the motion (went through the motion)
Then out of heaven you arrived
Whatever was wrong
Suddenly is right
Cause once in a lifetime
You find the reason for living
You find the one who makes your every dream
Come true
(Find the one who makes your dream...)
No, I could search the world forever
And no one else would do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you
(Find someone like you...)
Hearts that wait for love can grow so weary
(Don't you know... a heart can grow?)
But it doesn't matter anymore
When you find the one you've waited for...
You find your reason for living
You find the one that makes your every dream come ... oh you make it come
true
Oh you could search the world forever
But no one else would do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you.....
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone.....
Someone like you......
(Ahhh...)
Whoaaa......................

A moment of silence
The bastion of democracy stands tall from sea to shining sea.
Coming Home
Fourteen years ago, I came back to Maui to start new in life from
the Philippines. Looking back, I have traversed a long journey and set
milestones. Like the honu, it comes back to its place of birth
and lays its eggs on the same shores where she hatched. She spends a lifetime
out in the sea and then come back to start a new generation. It is like
life, we go to far distances in the world

Austin Powers does it again on his third comeback movie Goldmember.
I went to watch it after work and I have hard laughs with the other
viewers. Truly a creative creation by Mr. Myers. I have watched the first
Austin Powers movie in Manila and the second one, The Spy Who Shagged
Me, here in Maui.

“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely
to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.
For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are
likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways
or truer answers or even for God.” -M. Scott Peck, Abounding Grace

“We envision, therefore, a new society in which equality
of opportunity is not a fraud but fact. An oligarchic society may sincerely
believe in quality of opportunity, but so long as there be a wide economic
gap, the opportunity begins at the starting line, when a human being is
born. This simply means that a few should not be born “with everything”
while the many have nothing.When we proceed from this premise, everything
else follows: the radicalization of society begins.” - Ferdinand
Marcos
