kaleidoscope by F.M.

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Ivy is sad! :(

I just found out that Francis M., my ultimate rap idol died today. Good bye my MASTER RAPPER!

I would like to congratulate these special people in my life for passing the Nursing Board Exam; my kuya Jp, Mai mai (kuya’s gf), my cousins Jerah Mae and Mec2x. And also to ate Jessel for passing NCLEX. I am proud of you, guyz!

Mazel Tov! :)

I am no longer upset. I lowered my pride and befriended my brother again. When they arrived home, I went straight to him and said hi and after that he kissed my cheek. And that was the beginning of our being friends again. :)

And when my brother jp, his gf (mai), ate Sel and I went to see Papa and Mama , I directly went to the place where papa sat and gave him a light kiss on the cheek and that was the beginning of our being friends again. :)

I realized a lot of things during the almost one week spat I had with my brother and my father. I realized that even if it was not really all my fault, I have to respect the fact that they are older than me. Also, I have to understand my Kuya since he easily loses his temper.

I thank my other brother (jm) for lifting my spirits up and telling me not to lose hope when I am on the verge of giving up all my dreams. Even only through chats and phone calls, he still has the power to humble my proud and greedy soul. Oh I miss him so; a brother with a lot of wisdom to share.

Last night I sent him a message on how life could be so unfair to me and then recited my litany of complaints. He answered with, “stop whining and complaining, picture all those people without work & food, those poor ones on the streets-- now, ask yourself—whose life is unfair?”

I momentarily stopped typing. I felt ashamed. Sometimes he can hit me with those kinds of words that would let me see the harsh realities in life. Some kind of reality check!

:)

I know I am upset these past few days but I don't want my days to turn sour all the way so I set up a new blogsite which is mainly all about my career as an early childhood teacher. It celebrates all the happy feelings and wonderful experiences I have as a teacher. So, no more crap-o-rama moments on that site and no whines whatsoever.

heres my new haven: http://teacherivyr.blogspot.com/

and yes, last week I was invited by my good friend Mara to visit her Devcom class' exhibit and it was really good. It was also the first time in Devcom to have the exhibit outside the campus.

John Neri of Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) was also there to give a short talk about Journalism.

:(

I am not really feeling good the past few days. It's all because of my monstrous brother.sometimes, he can be very nice but when he gets angry he's the most monstrous person in the universe. We're not in speaking terms right now and as much as possible I try to avoid him.

I don't want to be friends with anyone when I am not ready. I just don't like forced-premature friendship.
