talking to a robot =)

Have you ever talked to a robot? Or, maybe the better question is, have you seen a real robot?

Now, you can have a chance to talk to a robot without seeing it. Try visiting cleverbot.com and experience how funny it is to talk to a robot.

So here's my experience:

Teru and Daisy

--this work is inpired by the Manga, Dengeki Daisy (sa makasabot lang)--

Before my brother left me in this world,
He gave me a cellphone* which would
Connect me to the only person whom
I could rely on, a person whom I could trust.

Before my friend left me in this world,
He entrusted me his sister,
As payment for betraying and putting his life in danger.
He asked me to communicate with her.

on rainy days..



--this poem is inspired by the manga, Dengeki Daisy--

On rainy days, you'd feel so weak and lonely,
You'd remember the traumatic incident that you had in the past
But, I want you to know that
I love rainy days because of you.

Do you still remember the first time we got to know each other?
It was on a day when the rain continued for days.
It was the first time that you asked for my help.
And it was the first time that my words caressed you.

"no" was all i could say



Once, you called me in the middle of the night
Asking me if you would really continue to court her
It made me want to say no
Because I had feelings for you too

Our talk just lasted for minutes but,
Your question really stuck on my mind
"Should I court her, vernie?"
"No" was all I could say.

could you still sing a song for me?



Whenever I'm alone,
You would call me.
You'd lessen the loneliness that I feel
By singing a song.

Whenever I'm sad,
You'd try to cheer me up
And make me feel better
By singing a song.

Whenever I'm angry,
Whenever I lose my temper,
You'd try to calm me,
By singing a song.

But, now that you're busy...
busy taking care of HER.
Now that you're not here,
How could you sing a song for me?

Now that you spend all your time with her,
Now that your world revolves around her,
Now that i'm left alone, sad, angry and.. jealous,
Could you still sing a song for me?

I bet you can't.
Because the song that
You usually sing for me,
Is for HER now.

---aammbott, last night, i had nothing to do, so,i made this..
this was the result of INSOMNIA.. :)))

maling akala

You thought he's just ordinary.
You thought he's innocent.
You thought he's just simple
But those thoughts were wrong.

When you look at him,
He looks so kind and gentle.
It's as if you've met someone
Who would console you, when you’re in pain.

When you speak to him,
He gives out that sweet smile,
A smile that would wipe all your worries away
A smile that could drive every girl crazy

When you read his poems,
You'll be hypnotized by his words.
And eventually, without you knowing it,
You'll fall under his trap.
You'd start to like him
You'll search everything about him
Only to find out that
He's not what you think of.

He's not ordinary.
He's not innocent.
He's not simple.
All your thoughts were wrong.



Maraming namamatay sa maling akala geng.


friends, that's all we can be.

Whenever we're together,
I feel something strange.
My heart would beat faster,
And blood would flow to my cheeks.

A lot of times, I've thought of confessing.
Yet, my fear would win over my courage.
I'm afraid that he'll walk away,
So it's better to hide this feeling.

One day, a friend told me that he's leaving.
I didn't know what to do.
Should I confess of should I not?
But, it's better to do it, before it's too late.

"ei…", I said, still finding my courage.
"I..uhm…I", I had a hard time saying it.
"yes, Vern?" he said with a sweet tone.
"uhm, i..aahh, I have..a crush on you."

He paused. "uhmm, Vern,", his tone was sad..
"We can be friends." [-------------]
It was as if my whole world went dark
And my heart was stabbed a million times.

Friends, that's all we can be
For his heart is taken by someone I don’t know.
Friends, that's all we can be
For he's leaving to go after that someone whom he loves.

Well, anyway, my goal was just to confess,
Nothing more, nothing less.



poems


Each letter symbolizes the notes of an octave.
Each word is like a measure of a song.
Each phrase tells a harmonious rhythm of an orchestra.
Each line represents the movements of a symphony.
Each stanza flows like arpeggio that catches a reader's heart.

Poems are like musical pieces written for a common purpose:
To express one’s feelings.



being afraid

Afraid to commit mistakes?
Don’t be.
For it is in making mistakes
That we grow as a person.

Afraid or failures?
Don’t be.
For it is in failing
That we learn to stand up.

Afraid of taking risks?
Don’t be.
For it is in taking risk
That we’re able to know how capable we are in doing great things.

Afraid to change for the better?
Don’t be.
For it is resistance that hinders a person
From developing his or her skills.

Afraid to start again?
Don’t be.
Nothing may start easy;
But remember: what is most difficult is also most rewarding.

Don’t be afraid.
You’ll never know how far you can go
And how best you can be
If you don’t even try.

Let go of fear
For it control prevents you from living fully;
It isolates, restricts and
Separates you from the real you.

Learn to take a leap out of your comfort zone,
And discover how beautiful the world is, outside.
