poem of you...

you is as true as the sky

with no limits and no lie

there is no streets when you cry

nature is green when you smile





this is my another one ma'am.....

sky...

you are as blue as the sky

that give brightness in my eyes

becauser tommorow will shine

when the day came you'll be mine..





mA'm can you also comment this??

thE long it lAst...thE moRE it bEcaMe rEal....

Brandy Gold Label...

Many says that brandy has no exparation....

I think literature is like a brandy......

the more it last long, the more it makes history,the more it became so important.....

For example....like some old writings, even though its so old...its value or importance remains,,,,just like the writings of Dr. Jose Rizal..

For me litarature is last for long....for short it is forever there....

And another one, brandy needs someone to take care of it to last long...and live forever...like literature,,literature need us......because it is us to take care of it...and live wiht it forever....

that's alll thankz........^_^
