do not blame others, but only I.
deadline is nigh because of I.
procrastination was too sweet for my good
nevertheless, I must proceed with what I could
only work will save us from here
only prayer could help me cheer

Month: June 2022
Need for speed
let me be inspired with new ideas
head cleared from distracting thoughts
and allow me to sit down
and write this paper
the deadline is near
I must write this paper
I must write this paper

Scent of rain
the season has arrived!
the sky is covered in grey clouds
brooding something mystical
the trees shaking its branches in waves
as gust of wind blows
in the shadows, you can feel it:
there is something magical in all this.
perhaps it foretells a storm to come
nevertheless I love this stormy breeze
under the grey cloudy sky.

Cleaning
it’s no easy task; figuring out
how the drainage works,
buying the right equipment, experimenting
with different drainage solutions.
But I’d say it was worth my time
fixing this filthy thing I’d prefer to avoid
take up on a piece of dirty responsibility
I’d need to face one way or another
And after all, it is not too bad
staring at this now shiny sink.
yes, it’s one task I’m bound to see again,
but until next time, please fare fair with me.

New people
it is hard to tell when to cross a line
or when to cross a line
when I meet new people.
How many personas does one need to have?
such different group of people
such different meaning behind gestures
such different attitudes and behaviors
new suddenly becomes old
and old quickly becomes forgotten.
who do I remember from the past
and what promise do I live up to?

Red spicy rice cake
do not despair in knowing all that work is
for this one serving of red spicy rice cake.
do not look down on this red spicy rice cake.
do you know that with each piece of rice cake,
dreams, sacrifices, and tears of chef were spilt?
do you know that with each piece of rice cake,
you can find a piece of your childhood memory?
so do not despair in knowing all that work is
for this one serving of red spicy rice cake.
it is a good, delicious one.

Nighty Night
a day is too short to enjoy it all
when the night falls
why do I need to go to bed
for the work will return again
let us enjoy this moment a little longer
for excitement is what we hunger

Epiphany
one of these days is like winning a lottery.
you say the right thing, think the right way,
and most importantly, you get work done in time.
you are on an adrenaline rush,
you feel what Rocky would feel winning a fight
but the details, preparations, and training matters
keeping your head down and practicing matters
perhaps we just work towards one day
that will make everything worthwhile.

Keyboard
dear keyboard, thanks for bearing with my incessant keystrokes.
it’s not that I have a bad feeling towards you.
it’s just that I have a deadline that is too close for my health.
Rather, I am grateful for your faithful service.
We’ve actually made a great work together, you know.
I look forward to getting more of those done with you.
I’ll also make sure to clean up the dusts under each of your key.
See you tomorrow.

Weightlifting
weightlifting is a performative art of an audience of one.
you are both the performer and the audience.
how you lifted the weight matters;
the posture, muscle fiber, breathing proper
all matters when it comes to lifting weights
you may fool the others, but not yourself
with each promise delivered, confidence builds up
honest labor does not lie; it adds up
weightlifting is a performative art of an audience of one.
be honest with your own.
