Graceful One

Ito daw ang ibig sabihin ng Hannah, mula sa site nato.

Hannah

"Graceful One" (Hebrew)

You are both a visionary and a realist able to bring your dreams into a tangible form. Pioneering and ambitious you accept new challenges and the responsibilities which go with them willingly. Your sound judgement, resourcefulness and positive nature means that your progress in life is assured. Certainly your kindness and generosity to others and your inspirational manner attract success as well as many admirers.

Do not say I love her for her smile ...

If thou must love me, let it be for nought

Except for love's sake only. Do not say

I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way

Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought

That falls in well with mine, and certes brought

A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'—

For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may

Be changed, or change for thee,—and love, so wrought,

May be unwrought so. Neither love me for

Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,—

A creature might forget to weep, who bore

Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!

But love me for love's sake, that evermore

Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.

Resulta ng isang GIMP moment. Bagong logo sana ng Project Hannah pero wala sa liga ng original:




Anyway, lagay ko na rin dito. :D

I'll deviate from the usual photo posts to give way to Hannah's creation (please wait while it loads):

Nothing seems strong enough for
this life to manage, that sees beyond
into particles forming some kind of entity—
so we get dressed kindly, crazy at the moment.
A life of afterwords begins. We never live long enough in our lives
to know what today is like.
Shards, smiling beaches,
abandon us somehow even as we converse with them.

My Angel in the Clouds

A picture taken in Real, Quezon. Kumukutitap na naman ang mata nya kasi nakarating na naman sa dagat. May lahi yatang sirena. Hehehe.

We got into touring mode, rode my bike from Quezon City to Real, Quezon Province. Easy, fun ride it was, just around 200 kms from Manila.

Here's another picture. My angel in the clouds. :)

The Face That Could Launch A Thousand Ships

...looks like this. Hehe. I'd kill to see her do this again.

Pictures of You

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Food Trip!

Mas madalas naming gawin ang ganito dati. Pero di na masyado ngayon.....kasi nagtitipid kami......heheheh.... Ang totoong dahilan, kasi nagtatabaan na kami! Preno muna!

Parang di sya nag-eenjoy na kinukuhanan ng picture. Pero sa tingin ko may HD sya na maging model eh. Hehehe.

Project Hannah Din

I did not know until today that there is another Project Hannah out in the web. The other is a mission dedicated to women. They have a radio program on spirituality, i think. In the about page, this is the answer for the question:

Why the name Project Hannah?
In the Bible, 1 Samuel 1:1-28 recounts the story of a woman named Hannah, who was despised and considered a second-class citizen for something which was out of her control. She was childless, but Hannah longed for a son and prayed fervently and with hope. God answered her prayer with the birth of Samuel. Hannah dedicated her son to the Lord, and he became the greatest prophet of his time. Today, many "Hannahs" throughout the world also cry out to God in the midst of their suffering, and the women of Project Hannah desire to minister to them.

I really did not see the logic, but that's them. For me, I have my own Project Hannah with very simple reasons. "Project" because this is a project and "Hannah" because this is dedicated to a girl named Hannah. Yun na 'yon.

Home

I came back late and tired last night
Into my little room,
To the long chair and the firelight
And comfortable gloom.

But as I entered softly in
I saw a woman there,
The line of neck and cheek and chin,
The darkness of her hair,
The form of one I did not know
Sitting in my chair.

I stood a moment fierce and still,
Watching her neck and hair.
I made a step to her; and saw
That there was no one there.

It was some trick of the firelight
That made me see her there.
It was a chance of shade and light
And the cushion in the chair.

Oh, all you happy over the earth,
That night, how could I sleep?
I lay and watched the lonely gloom;
And watched the moonlight creep
From wall to basin, round the room,
All night I could not sleep.

Rupert Brooke

 

Hidden

If you place a fern
under a stone
the next day it will be
nearly invisible
as if the stone has
swallowed it.

If you tuck the name of a loved one
under your tongue too long
without speaking it
it becomes blood
sigh
the little sucked-in breath of air
hiding everywhere
beneath your words.

No one sees
the fuel that feeds you.

Naomi Shihab Nye 

I miss her so much

That's all I have to say. 

Shunget Days

A frown (or scowl) is a facial expression that is the opposite of a smile. It is demonstrated as an arc facing up, and is caused by movement of the lips and the areas around the mouth. Strangely, it seems that when one frowns for an actual cause (Instead of just doing it to "put on a show") the muscles around one's eyes contract, and the eyes appear to grow larger. It most commonly expresses sadness, dissatisfaction, anger, worry or pain.

-Wikipedia

The world goes up and the world goes down, And the sunshine follows the rain; And yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown can never come over again.

-Charles Kingsley 

Sa Dagat

Ito ang pinakapaborito ko sa mga pictures nya sa Puerto Galera.

Dagat

Namamaybay
ang tubig sa paypay
ng hanging habagat
Dumadampi
sa umaasang pisngi
ng tabing-dagat

Dagat
na pagitan
ng ating pag-ibig
singlawak, singlayo, singlalim
Ngunit
sa isang panig
dagat ang nagsasanib
ng dalampasigan mo sa 'kin

Namamangka
ang aking diwa
sa nakalipas
Tumatawid
sa ibayong daigdig
ng ating bukas

Sa dagat ng pangako
sa laot ng pangarap
sa alon ng iyong mga halik

Dagat din ang luha
ng pusong naghihirap
naghihintay sa iyong pagbabalik...

-Gary Granada

It's a photo of Hannah with a colleague (sorry I forgot the name). She took the camera with her at work and shot around. I particularly like this one because she radiates energy like the sun. 

Ikaw Ang Aking Mahal

Hinaharana si Hannah sa Cloud 9, Antipolo

Ang kanta:

Ikaw ang Aking Mahal

Itanong mo sa akin
Kung sino ang aking mahal?
Itanong mo sa akin
Sagot koy 'di magtatagal.

Ikaw lang ang aking mahal
Ang pag-ibig mo'y aking kailangan
Pag-ibig na walang hangganan
Ang aking tunay na nararamdaman.

Isa lang ang damdamin
Ikaw lang ang aking mahal
Maniwala ka sana
Sa aking walang iba

Ikaw lang ang aking mahal
Ang pag-ibig mo'y aking kailangan
Pag-ibig na walang hangganan
Ang aking tunay na nararamdaman.
