you are what you read.

i may write my views.
that might appeal to yours.
or even oppose to your beliefs.
i may write my heart out.
to let your hearts know that i, too, know.
i may write long, or short.
i may write jargons.
but words are never jargons to me.
you may succeed to despise my words,
or fail to hide the sense you get in them.
try as you might, do your very best, for trying is living.

the ugly duckling


she once told me,

she was an ugly duckling.

in terms of the insignificant physical appearances.

not that she's not grateful of what God bestowed,

just a realization she bravely accepted.

she said,

nobody looked at her,

with her dark skin,

even darker hair and eyes.

her clothes are too boring.

her face clear from the ugliness of make ups.

well, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder indeed.

sad to say, most beholders are blind.

they do not see what SHE HAD INSIDE.

until one day,

no, not any prince charming,

just another ordinary guy,

handsome with his confidence and honesty,

his wit swept her off her feet.

he saw what others didn't.

he saw a really beautiful lady,

right there,

with her beliefs, opinions and wisdom for life.

she, whom they called the ugly duckling,

the independent, strong ugly duckling,

has finally became a swan when the man of her life,

accepts her as who she is.
