For a moment I wished we were not existent to the world.
That way, we could have savored every moment in the space we moved in.
That way, we could have walked together in a different dimension...
-- a dimension where we belong,
-- a dimension where we deserve to exist,
-- a dimension only known to us...

From Old Carton Boxes

Don't pity the insane
For they are blessed.



They are blessed
because they have an excuse not to be "normal".

From Old Carton Boxes

There are some instances in our lives when we don't make ourselves understood despite our need to be understood... the reason for this is because we are aware that being understood just won't make a difference.

I bathe in the stream of God's abounding love and I long to stay afloat,
sustained forever in His hands.

Courtship

I found this on my Animal Behavior notebook. I forgot from where the idea is exactly from. My professor was Dr. Pablo Ocampo (a generous teacher! brilliant too!) from the University of the Philippines -- I found this really interesting:

"The main evolutionary problem for males is to attract females in the face of competition from other males. The main evolutionary problem for females is to attract sexual partners that will endow their offspring with the greatest chance of survival and reproduction.

Courtship involves a contest between male salesmanship and female sales resistance. Coyness helps the female to assess the suitability of the male as a potential mate and may also encourage the male to invest in the future offspring."

From Old Carton Boxes

I have these big boxes (before they were carton boxes, but now my mother bought me plastic ones... for the purpose of you know what) where I place my old projects, scratch papers, written thoughts, Mc Donald's french fries cartons (yes, believe me ladies and gentlemen), and other memorabilias. Now I am opening them up once more to read random thoughts I have written before. So now, I present to you a special label in this blog called "From Old Carton Boxes"! If you see posts categorized with this label, most probably I have typed the posts with cobwebs in my hand :)

Here are a few examples:

"If you really want something, it will happen. If not, you'll make it happen." (May 2003)

A simple random thought, right?

By the way, I will put thoughts by some of the people I know too... I will just put a name in the end of every quote/poem/etc. so you will know, okay?

How about a verse I wrote when I was in love? (For some people who knows me or who wants to know me this could be interesting!)

My heart speaks of a love that's sincere,
It is you and no one else I find so dear.
In your arms, let me leave no stone unturned,
With time, let our feelings be nurtured.
Hear my lips say your name under you breath,
With you, my life has never been the same.

I wasn't able to finish this, and I don't think I will be able to...

'Til my next post!
