Michael Baby Cologne: Little Wonder in a Plastic Blue Bottle

      Sometimes, you just have to believe it when they say “great things can come from small packages”.

      Errr.., I can’t really be sure if I said it right.  It’s been years since I’ve painfully yearned for my favorite scent in the world.  I blogged about it around December last year and unfortunately, I still am wishing for it.  Along my search, I can see them posted on “Sulit” but I never took them seriously. I just want them back on the shop stands, period!  I’m sure that some of you know what I’m referring to but I choose not to mention that perfume here. Not here on this post for this is dedicated to a new-found infatuation with this “low-end, underrated, locally-made” cologne that’s been existing for many years now.

Little Star

Little Star

Little star, where are you tonight? 

Where are you now when the heaven’s at its brightest? 

Hiding behind Mr. Moon, could you be? 

Little star, don’t vanish from me now 

Not on this promised Sunday night. 

You always rose above sheer nights 

You, with the tiniest brilliance 

But could blind the darkness 

That envelops the space 

You are but just a single dot 

Far away in time and space 

Nameless, timeless, owning a piece of the sky 

Where are you now, glow for me tonight 

Little star, come home to your lair 

Up above the infinite blue 

Up there where I can always wish for you 

Somewhere so far so no one can hurt you… 

Little star, my star, the warmth I can never touch 

You belong way up where I can only stare 

Little star, let your radiance beam through 

Let it be this night, let you be mine tonight….

Timeless Tales I: The Last Sunset

Writing poems and fiction had always been my first love.  It's been my indirect form of expression before I turned to blogging to scream my mind and heart out.  I had written a few stories and I meant it literally. I scribbled most of them while in a Physics class or in a middle of a "Balancing" exam in Chemistry.  Some stories had been woven in my mind while actually telling them out chapter by chapter to one of my friend, Maribel, in High School, one of my earliest fans.  At some point, I've shared some on Pinoyexchange years back and thanks to some who actually enjoyed them.

Now, I want to share one of my earliest compositions.  It's imperfect in a lot of ways but I'm still very proud of it, anyway.  I'm sharing this under a tag I will call Timeless Tales, from now on.  I hope to read some of yours if you have some to share.

This story is called "The Last Sunset".  

Missing you: Fresh White Musk by Body Fantasies

I am a plain Jane at her finest.  Though there may be times when I would pass by a store and admire pretty things I can invest on, my attention span for anything that spells F-A-S-H-I-O-N and B-E-A-U-T-Y is no longer than that of a 5-year-old to her pre-school teacher.  Yes. I am a walking, talking and writing bore when it comes to that subject.  However, except for books, foods and stuffs for my loved ones, I do spend for some specific things as well...you know...my not-so-extravagant-indulgences.

One of them is my personal favorite fragrance... Body Fantasies' Fresh White Musk.

It used to cost around Php450.  Looking at the bottle, someone would not expect so much of it.  But wait 'til you wear it....

This is how it's supposed to look now

I love the tender, airy, powder-like smell that I can wear on all occasions. I am always complimented and asked of what I'm wearing whenever I spray some on me. A little spray or two can already last up to the next morning.  It lasts really long.  For years, since a cousin introduced it to me in High School, I've never worn another fragrance but this.

I used to always buy them at most twice a month...that was before when they seemed to be everywhere.  It was not until I graduated college when I couldn't find them on the stores I've gone to.  I don't know where to  find them here in Cebu.

By writing it here, I wish other bloggers who'd know where I can find them can tell me because it's been years since I'm depriving myself of such indulgence.

Anyone? Please? I'm down on my knees now....

Dream Of Me

Have you ever missed someone so much you literally bite your pillow just so you can hold yourself from bawling out the pain. 

I did. 

I had been missing someone so bad that I feel like bleeding inside. Two days…it sounds too short of a period to be missing him already but it’s been the longest time since I heard his voice. 

I hope that I cross his mind, too. 

While I kept myself busy jumping from reading, writing, doing chores, staring at nothing…then silently weeping, with me was my ever-amazing music playlist who never failed to pull of a soundtrack to every drama I subject myself into. 

Here’s one that had put me to sleep after a weary day…and again, at the first note, He just took me away…. 

I wish to dream of him again tonight…and maybe, when he can find himself wanting to close his eyes, he can just follow me there and I’ll wait….

Dream of Me 

Kirsten Dunst 

(From the Movie Get Over It) 

Let me sleep

For when I sleep 

I dream that you are here

You’re mine

And all my fears are left behind

I float on air

The nightingale sings gentle lullabys

So let me close my eyes

And sleep

Per chance to dream

So I can see the face I long to touch

To kiss

But only dreams can bring me this

So let the moon

Shine softly on the boy I long to see

And maybe when he dreams

He’ll dream of me

I’ll hide beneath the clouds

And whisper to the evening stars

They tell me love is just a dream away

Dream away (echo 3x)

I’ll dream away

So let the moon

Shine softly on the boy I long to see

And maybe when he dreams

He’ll dream of me 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

I will see you nin my dreams later, baby….

Moonlight Lullaby

I sing to the moon tonight

I sing my heart out to him

Of notes and verses I tell no one

Of secrets I shall keep to my grave

He listens to my songs, endlessly

Like age-old odes as ancient as him

He brings warmth as I look up

Drying up traces of dews along my cheeks

I will sing to him, ‘til melodies become lie

I’ll kiss all the pains to touch him, yet I can not

Soon he will be gone again, to the mountains he will hide

Back where I do not exist, and where he can hear my songs no more

But I sing to the moon tonight

And he will hum to me my lullaby

He will not let me live the day in pain

He will not leave me, not until I close my eyes and dream

He is singing to me now

‘Do not stop, please, stay,’ I whispered

Slowly I feel his warmth blanket me

Forever he will sing to me, he say….

Meet Lucky

 Meet LUCKY 

Help me welcome to our humble home this cute lil jumpy black and white ensemble, LUCKY! The excitement has been doubled for me and the rest of the family when I heard that Tatay and sisters will be coming home, at last, from a vacay in Iloilo and Guimaras and that they will be bringing someone else in the ‘pack’. To my delight, they were bringing another cute pup in the house…:D

The poor thing loves to sleep :D...reminds me so much of someone

Lucky hails from an island-baranggay of Unisan in Guimaras making him a true-blue “Karay-a”. He was given by a friend of my Tatay back in his hometown. Being a genuine dog-lover that my lil sister Mary Joy is, I can just imagine how ecstatic she might have become at the thought we’ll be having another pet at home. She spoils them rotten.




What makes me happier is that they named him after my boyfriend’s dog, also named Lucky…a female one, to be exact…and equally charming and deserving of the attention her Big Man gives her generously.

This is my boyfriend's Lucky < A She ;) >

Our Lucky arrived home (Cebu) at around 8:00 am today (November 7, 2011) and he charmed us all at first bark. He was jumping around and would suddenly do this “planking” thing, signaling that a sound sleep on the floor won’t be far behind. He’s really adorable. I just hope that soon, the rest of the pack, Squishy and Napoleon will be welcoming him, too. I know, a little jealousy can not be dismissed. They’ll get over it and will love him, too, in time.


Here are some pictures of our Lucky from island to island. <My sisters love him to bits>

My sister giving him a good beach bath :D
