First Thoughts

There have been many previous attempts, but i guess i've finally got down to starting my own blog. Maybe it is about time. After all, knowing myself, it was pretty much but a matter of time.

Ah time... i seem to have much of it in my hands now. Between classes and clients, i'm very fortunate to have some 'me" time left. I really cherish moments like these... peace and quiet...just the hum of motors running in the distance... i've always found the droll of the water pump lulling...almost hypnotic.

This is my first entry... and it's dedicated to Mai Baranda, my partner, lover and best friend. He passed away in 2004, a day shy from my birthday. Ironic? Not really, i find it quite poetic, infact. Although he is gone to that rainbow's end... i'm almost certain the memory of him will creep into these pages every now and then... just like a welcome breeze.

Rosemary Blue was one of our favorite songs. The poignant lyrics lend well to how Mai and i felt about parting and death. Anyone of us would have wanted the other to wear our grief like flowers in our hair...

There For Me was actually a song Mai introduced to me way back in 1983. It came from La Bionda's album that he lent me. Actually, it was in cassette format... how i wish i could have saved it in dvd. But thanks to the internet...i get to play the mp3 from youtube every now and then....
