A single smile can truly work wonders

What a great way to start the day than having been greeted by a total stranger just because you smiled.

This morning, there was this guy across the hall who I think just came from the smoking lounge and we both moved towards the elevator at the same time. I smiled at him like I was just acknowledging his presence. But then I was surprised that he not only smiled at me but he also said hi and greeted me “good morning”. Sweet!

Having a Coke with You by Frank O’Hara


I just came across this poem a few months ago when I watched Beastly and since then, I loved it. :) 

HAVING A COKE WITH YOU


is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne

or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona

partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian

partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt

partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches

partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

it is hard to believe when I’m with you that there can be anything as still

as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it

in the warm New York 4 o’clock light we are drifting back and forth

between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles

and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint

you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them

I look

at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world

except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it’s in the Frick

which thank heavens you haven’t gone to yet so we can go together the first time

and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism

just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or

at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me

and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them

when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank

or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn’t pick the rider as carefully

as the horse

it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience

which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it

Hey there!

I spotted this dog last night in our neighborhood and asked the owner if I can take a photo of it since it’s so cute. As soon as I said “Smile”, the dog, which was so playful suddenly stopped, looked at the camera and posed, hence the photo. :)

Dreams do come true (In a different light :p)

Now…

I saw this guy that I was referring to from my last post just today over lunch at this famous building in Makati. Haha! Actually, it was he who first saw us (coz I’m with my officemate). He still looks good and he has grown a beard, a bit, but it suits him. Oh well, I like him again, hahaha! We just had a small talk and i urged him to come visit our office one of these days.

Well in some sense, my dream came true, didn’t it? Though we’re not really “together” in real life, at least, we had a bit of bonding moments. Weeeeeeeee. :}

Sweet Moments with the guy

Late post - January 14, 2012

I am weirdly having sweet dreams with this guy whom I’ve never seen for quite some time, perhaps around 3 months already. Upon pondering why this did happen, maybe it’s because I’ve checked his facebook page once/twice these past few days and me and my friends have talked about him in a few occasions. But still, why? Perhaps, subconsciously i miss him? Hahaha!
