Rejection

Image credit from Catawampusme

Stranger, that's what you are to me,
in my eyes, you have no such beauty;
You have the fame, through eternity,
but such glam, never interest me!

Yet for a moment, we've been acquainted,
but in my mind, I know we're not meant;
So through those days, nothing was cherished,
'twas only you, who have expected!

Stranger, nameless, you are unknown,
in my heart, it's void of affection;
No do not weep, even deeply mourn,
You'll only reap, such desolation!



Background: 17Feb2010 @ 0130, attacked by my worst enemy -- insomnia, and annoyed about FB's photo uploading failures, I googled the word "rejection", the image popped-out, and the poem was given birth.

rejection makes a man stronger.
ive been a victim of that for the nth times. need to guard myself, need to protect my heart. sometimes i wish i never existed so that i wont feel rejection, so that i wont hurt others because i rejected them. all i really wanted was friendship, but it was never given. i hate it when im loosing a friend it hurts so much 2x the hurt i feel when i lost my special someone. im broken again. im being cursed i guess.
Beautiful! Congratulations and best regards from Barcelona (Spain).

@Anonymous, rejection really hurts, but at the same time, rejection builds up our character. These are the what gives color and spice to our life. Just move on after every rejection, don't give up but be strong and be busy living.

@Albert, thanks for the visit. Spain is the first Country ever that I want to visit. Want to find my origins there.

I have to agree with anonymous, sometimes losing a friend hurts much than losing someone you are "infatuated" with. Well, that's how I am to my friends. I just don't know if were crossing on the same bridge.

@Minnie, I dunno if most of us guys feels the same way as the girls when it comes to rejection from a friend compared to someone special to us! I'll let you know when I get to experience such, maybe I could create another poem for that too!

Pedz, I particularly quoted infatuation, for if the rejection comes from someone special - meaning someone you love - it is something worth to be depressed. And I guess I'll go stress-eating then.

oh, haha.. sorry Minnie... I seldom get infatuated din kasi, I mostly fall in-love.

And what I do, I hope I could inspire you, is not to stress-eat, but to train harder on my physical sports.

;p

National Geographic and Climate Change

The populace of running has tremendously increased and still continues to do so up to this time. Running has become a fitness trend as well as a way of life, if not for all, but for many people. People of all walks, age, affiliation and status have been hooked in this new kind of “golf”. These made event organizers, companies, foundations, non-profit and non-government organizations attracts the heart of runners to support a lot of purpose – from a fund-raising event, product launching, marketing and advertisement, and for the cause of their beneficiaries if any. When I regained my interest in running way back in 2008, I and my colleagues participated on an event that has benefited a TV network’s foundation which has also been helping a lot of people. Just after a few months, we are again on the same kind of event, which was to benefit the “Tahanang Walang Hagdanan”. Then we joined next some promotional campaigns such as the “run don’t ride” campaign of the Land Transportation Off

Will You Run For a Free Education?

Before the upcoming 2010 Philippines national election, let us all first run for a free Education, just for one day! I have always wondered where will I be at every moment of my post-school life if I have not been privileged for a scholarship granted education. With my Mom occupying two kinds of responsibility to us - her 3 kids - both as a Father and a Mother, we have no special means of coping up with all the budget constraints. In my high school years, I've learned and enjoyed special activities that makes me earn from as small as Php 0.25 to as high as Php 3.00 just to save up for my College years. I've enjoyed selling plastic bags in the busy market, Newspapers in jeepney terminals and in the streets of our village, washing dishes for a summer job in one of the famous hotels, and sell sweepstakes tickets together with the blind people in Baguio City parks. While my sister, who is now in Australia, as early in her 1st grade in elementary, learned to barter fresh fr
