Tangadan Falls

The clear beauty of it cools you and lifts you up beyond your heat, beyond your body.

The sighting of a rainbow never fails to bring a smile to people's faces.
They signify optimism and positivity;
with them comes the sunshine after the rain.

downton abbey the movie

downton abbey the movie! filming is underway and there were some snapshots already floating around, especially on instagram. i'm so excited!

this clip shows top 10 things that should be seen in the upcoming film. i agree with it, especially the following:

- daisy pursuing a new career

- edith and marigold's new beginning

- the rebellion of the servants

- a significant other for barrow

and of course...

- the delicious "savagery" of dowager countess violet. 

more screentime for this legend named maggie smith please! i'm so looking forward to the dowager's verbal tussle with isobel crawley and possibly with a new character to be played by imelda staunton.

Istilong #Duterte ang magpakawala ng ng samu't saring paratang at walang kakwenta-kwentang hirit kapag may isa na namang kapalpakan sa kanyang liderato at kanyang mga kampon. Ay sus! "Takpan ang kapalpakan ng kabastusan!" - ito ang islogan ni #RodrigoDuterte #ChangeScamming

Umaksyon lamang sa problema, G. #Duterte... hindi puro paninira, pang-aaway, at "pagjo-joke"!!

Ano pong ikinapagod ninyo, Mr. #Duterte? Ang walang humpay na pang-aaway ng mga bumabatikos sa inyo? Malamang. Naghihintay pa rin po kasi ang taumbayan ng tunay na magandang gawa mula sa inyo.

cctv

nagmamasid. 
paroo't parito.
paikut-ikot.
patingin-tingin.
paliku-liko.
panay ang sulyap.

handa nang umatungal.
laging handa ang bunganga.
maitim na paligid ng mata.
lalong nangingitim.
dahil sa katitingin sa iba.
centipede nga. human. cctv.

minatamis na saging

umaatikabong sarap
nag-uumalsang kasiyahan
lalo pang umiigting na katamisan.

anumang lumbay ng hapon 
nagkakandarapa mang makatapos ng gawain
o marami pang iniisip.

basta mayroon nito
matamis, malamig at malinamnam
minatamis na saging at sago.

ayos ang buto-buto
malagihay ang buong maghapon
salamat po!

human centipede

hahahaha! #cctv

buwan

"Buwan"
ni JK Labajo

Ako'y sayo ikaw ay akin
Ganda mo sa paningin
Ako ngayo'y nag-iisa
Sana ay tabihan na

Sa ilalim ng puting ilaw
Sa dilaw na buwan
Pakinggan mo ang aking sigaw
Sa dilaw na buwan

Ayokong mabuhay ng malungkot
Ikaw ang nagpapasaya
At makakasama hanggang sa pagtanda
Halina't tayo'y humiga

Sa ilalim ng puting ilaw
Sa dilaw na buwan
Pakinggan mo ang aking sigaw
Sa dilaw na buwan

Ang iyong ganda'y umaabot sa buwan
Ang tibok ng puso'y rinig sa kalawakan
At bumabalik
Dito sa akin
Ikaw ang mahal
Ikaw lang ang mamahalin
Pakinggan ang puso't damdamin
Damdamin aking damdamin

Sa ilalim ng puting ilaw
Sa dilaw na buwan
Pakinggan mo ang aking sigaw
Sa dilaw na buwan

Sa ilalim ng puting ilaw
Sa dilaw na buwan
Pakinggan mo ang aking sigaw
Sa dilaw na buwan

 

perfect strangers

Perfect Strangers by Jonas Blue

You were looking at me like you wanted to stay

When I saw you yesterday

I'm not wasting your time

I'm not playing no games
I see you

 

Who knows the secret tomorrow will hold?
We don't really need to know

'Cause you're here with me now

I don't want you to go
You're here with me now

I don't want you to go

 

Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe intellect will change us
Maybe we'll stay together

Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason

Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe intellect will change us
Maybe we'll stay together

Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason

Why
Come on, come on, come on now
Maybe we don't need no reason
Why
Come… 

 

No one but you got me feeling this way
There's so much we can't explain
Maybe we're helping each other escape 

I'm with you

Who knows the secret tomorrow will hold?

We don't really need to know
'Cause you're here with me now

I don't want you to go
You're here with me now

I don't want you to go

 

Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe intellect will change us
Maybe we'll stay together

Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason

Maybe we're perfect strangers
Maybe it's not forever
Maybe intellect will change us
Maybe we'll stay together

Maybe we'll walk away
Maybe we'll realize
We're only human
Maybe we don't need no reason
Why

Come on, come on, come on now
Maybe we don't need no reason
Why

Come on, come on, come on now
Come on, come on, come on now
Maybe we don't need no reason
Why

Come on, come on, come on now
