Love after love
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
-Derek Walcott

my christmas/ new year wishes
i know christmas wishes are so last year. but it's never going to be too late to awaken the child inside me, the child who dreams and wishes and prays for them to come true. dreams come true. wishes are heard and given at the right time. so i'm listing them today to remind me that in the beginning of 2011, i dreamt, wished and hoped.
1. total forgiveness. there are times that i still cry for this loss. and i would be a hypocrite if i would not say that i am still angry at him. i just wish that the past be forgotten. i want to move on. i wish that the day would come that if i see him in this lifetime, i would be able to regard him as my dad.
2. stay in love. in a relationship, there are of course hardships. i hope and pray that we would be able to come out strong. despite our differences, i hope we would be able to compromise and continue to show our affection to each other. i wish this would grow stronger and last forever.
3. a career. i am thanking God in advance because i would be graduating this July. but i know it is just the beginning for a new path i am taking career-wise. i pray for guidance. i am dreaming and praying for a career that i would love and keep. i want to unleash the hidden talent in me. i hope the rightful job would come soon.
i guess these are all for 2011.
