~ Patch me up.. ~

If you've seen the movie Patch Adams
(the movie that makes me wanna become a doctor...)
~erm..still open to the idea (??) :p haha!~
I'm sure you know this one..

In Spanish.. =)

SONETO XVII (Cien sonetos de amor)

No te amo como si fueras rosa de sal, topacio
o flecha de claveles que propagan el fuego:
te amo como se aman ciertas cosas oscuras,
secretamente, entre la sombra y el alma.

Te amo como la planta que no florece y lleva
dentro de sí, escondida, la luz de aquellas flores,
y gracias a tu amor vive oscuro en mi cuerpo
el apretado aroma que ascendió de la tierra.

Te amo sin saber cómo, ni cuándo, ni de dónde,
te amo directamente sin problemas ni orgullo:
así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera,

sino así de este modo en que no soy ni eres,
tan cerca que tu mano sobre mi pecho es mía,
tan cerca que se cierran tus ojos con mi sueño.

Pablo Neruda, 1959

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love, darkly in my body
live the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep.

The bold parts are the ones Patch recited to Corinne after her funeral.

How I wish I had the gift. I tried but.. wasn't for me, I guess. :p

*****

Just some weird trivia about me..

I don't know how to use chopsticks.
Well, yeah, I can use them but there's this weird problem I have with my hand that gives me great difficulty when I use them. My sister always points out how I hold chopsticks awkwardly and that doesn't help either, hahaha. I feel like a four-year-old when we eat at Chinese and Japanese restaurants. I even try to practice (haha!) but sheesh..the kid still hasn't learned.

Oh well, more restaurants to visit so I can learn, haha :D

I actually like the smell of Ajax.
HAHA. I myself find that really weird. Mom says maybe I like it because my mind registers it as a "clean smell." Clean smell alright..ng CR!! Hahaha.. =)

*****

OCE (Oral Comprehensive Exam) is ooover :p
Thanks to Amelie, Dominic and Jowee :)
To Sir Pua and Sir Benedicto (our panel) as well..hehe :p
To Summarize: The whole thing was...funny (hehe) but a good learning experience.

THESIS NA LANG.
(insert sounds of horror..5th Symphony, pwede na :p)
oh, and a bunch of papers and reports as well, haha :D
