Pumkin Patch!!

HOST FAMILY DAY-----> Date: Sunday, October 21st 2012
                                              Location: Jubilee Farm

Today, this morning , we had the pumkin patch at Jubilee Farm (1 hour away from Seattle). When we got there, we got on a big truck to go to the place where the pumkins are growing. The soil was muddy because of the rain , so everyone had to wear rain boots or hiking boots. Wherever I looked there were pumkins in all sizes! After the patch, we ate the most tasteful tamales and drunk hot cider (hot apple juice with many spicies inside). Yummie!!! :P A!! I forgot to mention the beautiful scenery of yellow and red trees during the trip to go and come back home.. !

For just a Moment...

Forbidden love told through age old

Tales, gives some hope,

And some fear
Pulled in by something
I can't quite explain
He brings a light to my world
As if all things cruel were gone.                                                                                
The world seems perfect,
For just a moment.
Hope is tangible,
For just a moment.
All fears subside,
For just a moment.
                                                                                                                           
But memories fade, and people
forget.
For just a moment I can feel the
world returns, but as change passes
The age old tale a Romeo and Juliet
returns.
The fear
The cruel
The wicked.
For just a moment.

Fortune Cookie!!!

After having dinner at a thai food restaurant, I got my fortune-cookie!!
"Not every soil can bear things. Be practical."
                                                                                                                                                           -Saturday, September 22nd 2012-

Just a poem..

Where I'm from

I am from the sugary                                                          
and bitter grapes .                                                                            
From the warm,
salty spring waters
lapping at the shore.
I 'm from the sun wanted sand
and heated pebbles.

I am from the
sweet smell of my house,
from freshly washed bed-clothes.                
I am from maroon leaves
and brown bark of
the towering Beech tree
looking like a secret
world from the grass.

I am from breaded chicken
and from scrumptious salmon.
I am from rich pie and delicious cider,
fresh from a farm.                                                                          

I am from loving parents
and grandparents,
from laughable siblings,
and from caring nannies.

A child's poem....

Poem of the day...


A slash of Blue—
A sweep of Gray—
Some scarlet patches on the way,
Compose an Evening Sky—
A little purple—slipped between—
Some Ruby Trousers hurried on—
A Wave of Gold—
A Bank of Day—
This just makes out the Morning Sky. 
- Emily Dickinson -

Something..somewhere.. randomly..

Yesterday, on Monday, September 17th 2012, I went out for a walk and do some research for classes and courses at the community college. While I was on the bus, I noticed a poem of Pablo Neruda on a wall with bold and colorful letters ...



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,
in secret, 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 a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so 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 your eyes close as I fall asleep.
