You

(c)Julieta Casabuena Facto Moffatt - March 29, 2012
Darwin, Australia

You are a friend that understand my ways
I often wonder what would my life be
If there is no love between you and me
You are a friend in me now and always...

You may wonder too as days spinning and moving
Would our relationship be forever and no ending
But we both know not one can tell about the end
You and me knows true friendship never end.....

You and I will always be part of each other heart's
Even in days misunderstanding between our hearts
You and I will always come together once more
You and I will always be friends forevermore....

The Loudness of Silence

The Loudness of Silence
In the night as I wait for you, makes me insane
Wind whispering against my ears....your name
Oh! How I wish you are here to take my pain!




The Loudness of Silence
Laughter of no existence
Right here where I am standing
Wondering when are you coming!


The Loudness of Silence
The darkness outside so frightening
You said you love me, but what's the use
For the distance between us makes me confuse!


The Loudness of Silence
All I can do is always hold you in my heart
For nothing is important to me but your love
So no matter what always remember....I DO LOVE YOU SO,


THE LOUDNESS OF SILENCE OF MY HEART IS MY WITNESS
FOR YOUR NAME IS FOREVER ETCHED IN MY HEART, 
DON'T YOU EVER DOUBT MY LOVE
THE LOUDNESS OF SILENCE OF MY HEART IS MY WITNESS!

Wrong of the Beginning

(c)Julieta Casabuena Facto Moffatt - March 20, 2012
Darwin, Australia

When he asked me to come and live with him for thirty days I thought that was a perfect beginning.  But obviously it has some downfalls that I had to face sooner or later from that very beginning.

He picked me up with a broken heart- he helped me mended it by his love, care, kindness and thoughtfulness that I cannot imagine a man like him can possess.  It was a thirty days of happy living easy go lucky in a very nice place....the waves from the ocean were like classical music to my ears....the beauty of the starry night sky above the nightcliff seashore....the storms that hammered the cliffs day and night for days....as I sit on the bench near the nightcliff swimming pool...waves hammering hard against the rock...salty seawater sprinkles onto my brown-skin face....my red lips savours the saltiness of the seawater and that brings me back to my country of birth Philippines.

His love and everything shown to me I thought was such a perfect combination of who he really as a person, and that there were no other motives other than that he really care for me as a person.

Thousands of words by text messages we shared for the one year time since we've met but 'that is there is to it in my understanding.  Why?  Because since I've left his place....We text each other every single night...with of course some days we have disagreements and sure a night or two no text message to each other.  But we always come to terms and reconciled and text messages nightly back in our Agenda.  

I didn't tell him that text messages to him cost of hundreds of dollars since I've known him.  I don't want him to know because I don't want him to think that I put money value on our friendship, so I keep it to myself and anyway I love him dearly as my treasured friend.

But last Friday, March 16, 2012...was the last strew that kills the 'shit out of me.' friends or not friends...that is it....I won't hack any 'BS' from anyone.  I am a peace loving person, but I won't let anyone walk over me forever.  I give three strikes....then...BOWLED!

For four nights now I didn't sleep enough for I am thinking hard, reconsidering whether our friendship worth another try and salvaging.  But I came to conclusion right now that it is much better for me to get away from his life....for two people living in a different world would never be one in views!

I wish him well for his future and hope that he will open his eyes wide and see the real world with honesty inside his heart for unless he sees who he is INSIDE he will never understand my views of HOW I LOVE AND CARE FOR HIM, and for him to understand that he is not the rebound friend...he is what he is to me, no comparison to anyone in my life before and now.

Wrong of the Beginning was that he knows too much about my stupidity in loving someone....the love that was unrequited that almost cost my life.  Did he played with my emotions so that he can manipulate me of the thinking that he did care and loved me, but in truth he was laughing his heads off of me being fooled of his scammed kindness. Was it right of me to think......THAT WAS THE WRONG OF THE BEGINNING?

OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS....but I didn't see it because I was in pain!


Wrong of the Beginning I trusted him so much....and I still trust him so...Now this is the WRONG OF THE END.....trusting him still....grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ghost

Darwin, Australia

Ghost of the past....each one of us has it. IN the beginning I am to afraid to accept in the time I knew to think back of whom I became and where I came from....My roots is my ghost of the past. 

I have three ghost in my life, the past, in between and the present...the good, the bad and the in between.  I've given them names...the beauty, the ugly and the beugly. (be- from the beauty and ugly -obviously from the ugly itself).

My beauty ghost is the wonderful memories of growing in the Hacienda San Roque, Hinigaran, Negros Occidental, Philippines.  The place where I learned what is unconditional love is and I carried it all to this day. That is were simple living was meant so much to me.  No keeping up with the Jones'S.  That is were I was taught with our parents that ...FOREMOST before I can love, care and respect someone....it has to be from my inner self.  I have to know who I am and what I need in life.We are taught 'needs' not wants.  My mother once said' that love is who I am.'  I cannot afford to love, care and respect someone if I don't have that inside of me.  And as to this day...I know my dear mother was right and so is my dear father!

My ugly ghost of the past ....is that I learned in my younger age how poor of the Philippines live life in a pittance.  I thought slavery is not in existence until I saw it with wide-eyed opened shut many years ago....truly half century ago...what a life that was.  Yet, even we are then poor and living in a hand to mouth existence but there was laughter and joy in our hearts for LOVE IS IN OUR HEARTS.  

Now my old Hacienda were I used to longed and yearned for is not there anymore.  I will never hear again the music of dried golden leaves of summer of sugarcane fields across the valley just in front of our old family home.  Now it is all cemented houses erected in lieu of sugarcane plantations.  People are more in hardship that 50 years ago.  How sad!  The closeness of Hacienda's people are now disappearing...  

The beugly ghost ....it is just of what is I believe to be in between...so far I am not sure....I need to look back once more tomorrow....what was then...the in between GHOST!!!!

THAT DAY AND SOMEDAY

(c)Julieta Casabuena Facto Moffatt - March 13, 2012
Darwin, Australia

THAT DAY YOU OPENED MY HEART WITH YOUR LOVE AND NOW YOU'VE RIPPED IT APART....

Someday my friend you will be missing me more than anyone in your life.  Someday you will be wishing you didn't let me go.  Someday you my friend, you and I will be strangers once again.

Someday will help me to forget you...for I know in my heart you are right when you told me 'you love and care for me so much but I deserve better than you.'  In a way how that someday be that right when none of us human race knows whether that someday will ever be coming.

Someday, is just another brain-wish but deep down in my heart...it is just another blind thinking.  Someday brings a lot of complications that hard for me to comprehend to find the right reasons, but I can see any sight of any hope that You and I will become 'SOMEDAY.'

Yes, SOMEDAY....IS ANOTHER RAINBOW IN THE SKY...the colours mesmerised me each time that beautify the blue sky....

I wish that SOMEDAY will heal my heart that you've awaken into loving and then only for you to ripped it apart without mercy.  You talked to me when I am on my own but when I am with friends you pretended well that you don't care about me.  Why?  

Remember -  we sealed our friendship with handshakes...not only once but many a time....

SOMEDAY, both of us will see reasons where we went wrong!

THAT DAY YOU'VE OPENED MY HEART WITH YOUR LOVE AND NOW YOU'VE RIPPED IT APART AND SOMEDAY WE WILL BE STRANGERS AGAIN!!!!

BUT I WILL FOREVER LOVING YOU MY DEAR FRIEND!

LOVE

(c)Julieta Casabuena Facto Moffatt - March 9, 2012
Darwin, Australia

LOVE IS AS WONDERFUL AS LIFE.  Love exist when there is LIFE.  Life is love's driven.  For without love, life is no living at all.  This two elements for me cannot live without the other.

As we lives on, love grows on.  As we all know, there are many would argue with me...that living doesn't need love.  But for me living is not living unless there is love.  Life without love is only existing not living.

Often when I am on my own like at this very moment...I think of all my family back home....It's our love that holds and binds us together even how far the distance between us.  How true is one of an old adage says 'HOME IS WHERE YOUR HEART IS.'

The love within each other's heart is the best and most powerful pain reliever of all.  Our heart aches for the love of our family and friends...the old friends from our past...but the friendship never grow old because LOVE IS CONSTANT.  

Yes, love is keep on recharging, it never ceases.  Even in time of disagreement or divorces...still that love is still there...under the camouflage of hatred and despising each other but truly love still lives on.

Base on my experiences....loving is my only way of living and will always will.  But, I am no angel.  I can be a cranky one too...when needed.  Beware!

Beware!  When I am smiling during disagreement....it means I am hitting the roof!  When I am laughing, you better run as fast as you can.... I am dangerous....red light!

After the storm....I can be as calm as a baby sleeping on the cot.....LOVE IS MY WAY OF LIVING!

LOVING, LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST NO MATTER WHAT.....
LOVE (^)

Fifty-Seven

Fifty-Seven.....
the number of this blog...and fifty-seven years old i am....a special number....At this very moment all I can hear is the rattling sound of my old air-con...I hope his won't end yet! Still hot in Darwin.  Another month maybe it would be great...who knows.  One friend today mentioned that it would be great if the end of March come soon so we don't have this hot weather...as I've told her we never know...at the rate of this weather change...we can't be sure of anything especially when it comes to weather here in Darwin.

Today was raining steadily and was a bit cool at the Casuarina Shopping Square...since then, angels in the sky been crying on and off....lightning and thunder was of no existence.  To my heart delight.

In other part of Australia they're having fair share of weather chaos...flooding and more flooding...my heart goes to all the people down where the flooding.  So hard to comprehend how nature works, we can't win over nature so all we can do is to live with it and get back to normal as fast as we can so to live life again.

For many years now, I learned to live what I can afford and what I have in front of me...I stopped wishing for all those big things of those material things that I used to wished for when I was young.  Since I got married I forget all those ambition to accumulate and hoards things that are not important in life.  For the reason that whatever materials we possessed when nature comes...it goes to nothing...OUR LIFE IS WORTH MOST TAKING CARE OF.

My late husband 'Charles Richard Moffatt' was my mentor and I've learned so many things about true happiness by his standard.  What best I've realized that TRUE LOVE DOES EXIST....

FIFTY-SEVEN and going.....I am glad I married a man forty-years older than me.....because here I am at FIFTY-SEVEN and still hanging on to his good memories....

FIFTY-SEVEN - number of this BLOG IS FOR YOU MY DEAR CHARLES!!!!!

Time

Time is my teacher.  Time is my healer.  Time is my companion every second of every day of my life.  Time that  is what I have in this earth.  Time is the mean reason why I am alive.  Because Time I was born..the LORD, given me the most important of all in this space I am occupying at this very moment.  TIME IS THE REASON WHY I AM BORN.

Time I have I wanted to share to all of you, for when my time ended...we will become strangers...the beginning of time before you've knew me...Time is the vital reason why we became friends...Time is the reason why I was born to my parents and to my families...TIME I always value most is being with you all.

Time passes by were gone forever....Present Time is all we've got.  Never forget to see the beauty of each and every member of our family and friends.  They are like TIME...

The long hands of time is how we spend our time with our families and the short hands of time that is how we share our everything thinking and ways, our communications and understanding the depths of being a part of our family and community...TIME can be the judge of what we really are in the END OF TIME.

SO, THE REASON WHY I RESPECT THE TIME....ONLY MY LORD KNOWS WHEN IS MY TIME!!!!


I LOVE YOU ALL...
