AB-Normal

Work-Alkoholics

A normal day in the office..

Twas

i could not help but to reminisce
of my happy childhood experience
sun-tanned skin and skinned knees
and long hours of play with peers

i could not help but to be nostalgic
of the happy memories that brings my heart with ache
delightful fairytale stories, my mother would read
hand-made gun toys, my father would make

i could not help but to mull over with gusto
of the love-hate relationship, i share with my sises and bro
on who'll do the dishes and who will be the cook
the bickering and the riot that ends with tears or so

i could not help but to be grateful
of the values my parents instilled with us all
long hours of speech when we did something awful
made sure that we'll grow with a clean soul

i could not help but to contemplate
of my old friends, and the silly debate
of jenesa and her strong-willed spirit
and madeleine with her gutsy wit

i could not help but to mesmerize
of my first day in school, i didnt sleep all night
afraid of this new chapter in my life
but my parents assure that everything would be alright

i could not help but to flash back
of my first crush, i was so struck
the first time, i learn how to love
and the first time, my heart was broke apart

i could not help but be felicitous
of my fortunate life i had in the past
full of joy and worry-free nous
i want to live in yesterday as it was

Event: Mama's 60th Birthday Bash

im just so into you

i was submerge into confusion

of which of them deserves my utmost affection

there are a few candidates to mention

and i need you to help me with this situation

here it goes option number one

showing me the world and what it offers

sympathize with me when nobody cares

makes me laugh when mood swings

and, never fails to burst my heart with joy

now lets go to the second one

holding my hands when i needed it the most

spanked endlessly without committing any mistake

punched harder still never complain

yet, followed my orders to bring my heart with joy

and the last but definitely not the least

remains loyal even if the worlds is at my back

Got all the blame when tantrums wail me down

cursed and mocked for no reason at all

still, works hard and harder to content my heart with joy

so, now you hear all of them

can you pick one for me

coz each one's so precious i dont want to lose any of them

i had all their ears when heaven's door closed

and, now the voting begin

MONITOR, KEYBOARD or CPU?

which of them win your heart the most

coz i think each one stand equal

and i want to keep them all

so, please pick, pick one for me

coz when i choose, i'll take all of them

Brainier

It really amaze me how brain works. Like, how it solve the equation on my algebra class, how it able to retain pieces of information with a stranger I have just meet in a ride to work, how it can hold memories from my childhood, how it can recall stories of my favorite book and be able to flashback scenes in first movie I've seen in cinema.

It gets me everytime I think of how Beethoven be able to do music with greatness without hearing any of it. Or how Susan Polgar played chess so swiftly with every move less than a second. Nevertheless, Albert Einstein in his prolific theory that brings physics in a new dimention and a gift to mankind that is so useful in understanding matter in its deepest. Not to mention, Leonardo da Vinci in his materpieces that will last a lifetime and maybe next.

Since child, I want to understand the complexity of it and fathomed its deep secret. It always hit me, why there are some people possess a vast amount of intellectual while others crawled. What makes human's intellect so advanced compared to any animals. How can one achieve a state of mind that is way above than the others? Some say "It's in the gene", while others utter "Practice makes it".

It wonders me how geniuses become what they are. Is it by NATURE or NURTURE? The first is proven to be the most idyllic way? They were just born to be inclined and different. They just happen to be GIFTED. The latter is still in the midst of discussion and not yet been proven (I think so!). But if it will be so, then, I still have a chance to upgrade mine. And so, I will spend the rest of my life intended to discover new chemical element that will complete Mendeleev's periodic table; or find the Missing link between human and apes in Darwin's theory of evolution; or make a formula that will measure the universe; or invent machine that will bring someone in the past and in the future; or developed a robot that could think like human.

Im not ostentatiously boasting, but I always been above average, I myself can be consider as genius, well, ahm, not so, not for the time being, I'm slowly getting there (come on, theory of accidental genius). I can show a thousand, no a hundred, maybe fifty, okay, fine, ten proofs of why I consider myself as a genius (okay, nearly getting there).

• First, I can say so in regards with my school performance. SWEAR! I can show you my report cards, just dont look at the red marks.
• Second, I can do really good in math, IN MY OWN STANDARD, AT LEAST, not einsteinly, but good enough to retract all my debts and how to compute bi-monthly salary with all those contributions as a good citizen in this country.
• Third, I excel in art. PRECISELY. I can draw really well, if given a proper training I could be a renowned world artist, I could draft a map in a billboard size, but travellers wont hiss to carry it, so I just shut the idea down.
• Fourth, I'm a wild reader, I THINK SO, which makes me know a lot anything under the sun and beyond, so beyond that I couldn't retract it.
• Fifth, I am good in reasoning, DONT TRY ME. I can make you believe that Earth is indeed a square. But, my parents wouldn't be proud of it, so I think round is agreeable.
• Sixth, I'm really good in computer. OKAY, GIVEN MY JOB, I SHOULD BE, BUT THAT STILL COUNTS. Like, I could type 80 words per minute and I could research anything, FINE, GOOGLE MADE IT, but the efforts still mine.
• Seventh, I'm a good writer, I can make a story out of my head, I never tried it, but I could.. HMM, ON A SECOND THOUGHT, PROBABLY. But hey, all storyline has already made into movies and soap operas, they never left me a chance..
• Eighth, I am innovative, I could craft a flying engine, but since airplanes is all over the world, so why bother myself anyway.
• Ninth, I can solve crossword puzzle, sudoku, rubik's cube, NAME IT, but it always been that the puzzle was wrongly made that's why I couldn't finish it.
• And tenth, I can construct a lie really fast, you cannot tell a difference. BAD, BUT REASONABLE. Okay, kids I wasnt implying that the more you lie, the smarter you are, my point is I'm a fast thinker.
• And one more thing, I can read mind, I could predict the future, I once predicted of becoming a princess... AHERMS,, APPLYING TENTH..

And thats the reason I consider myself intellectually gifted, well, in the near future. As Laszlo Polgar said "Geniuses are made, not born".
