Child of Wings and Green Splendour

A poem for my all-time favorite anime character, Van Fanel from The Vision of Escaflowne.



Child of wings and green splendour
Born of twisting fate and predestination
In your vein flows the blood of a fabled race
Inhabitants of land, water and air.

Days of cloudless childhood
Ended so bitterly soon
When one passed away
And two vanished without any trace.

A land of simplicity and hidden beauty
Engulfed by flames and burned to the ground
Blood awakens the heart of a sleeping dragon
To fight for what's left and rule the majestic skies.

Child of wings and green splendor
Hands are blood-stained but your heart is wounded
It conceals the pain of living alone
In a dark and war-torn world.

Everything was lost in the hands of a manipulated fate
Hope came but it stood so far away
One lost heart, always on its own
It's still your will that determines the fate of this world.

The poem is really nice~ The picture throws it a bit off from Van, though, since it is a doujinshi image of Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing, but good job on the writing <3

A Flower that Blooms at its Own Pace

More than ten years ago I received a few bulbs of lilies, my favorite flowers, from an acquaintance. I planted the bulbs in our front yard and it turns out that the bulbs that I thought all the same were actually two groups of different species of lilies. What species are they exactly I do not have the slightest idea. All I know is that the pink ones bloom continuously throughout the year. But the other one, the fiery red-orange variant, is elusive. It blooms at a certain time of the year only, during the hottest months, April to May. After May, the flowers start dying altogether, and stops blooming, until the next year again, in the same months. What makes these flowers so special and so engrossing to me, beside their beauty of course, is how seldom they bloom. They were there for only two months; two months to admire their beauty, and then they're gone. It's like a reminder how something beautiful can also be ephemeral. Perhaps it's the transitory nature of things

A Bird that Cannot Be Caged

Christmas is almost here! This time of the year is actually the most wonderful time of the year for me. It's not really the money, the presents, or the people that makes me happy. It's the cool weather, the colorful lights, Christmas songs, and the hassle and bustle that the holiday season brings that makes me so blissfully happy. My happiness really comes from within, and it's something that I have that no one can take away from me. This year has been really remarkable. I discovered and learned so many new things. We started our very first business venture, which is our perfumery brand, and of course, next year, we will be starting our tutorial center. Never did I dream or wish about venturing into business. It was something that I did not like before nor had any interest with. I thought I'll just be a teacher forever, and will be "institutionalized" just like the rest, and will live the rest of my life in the service of the 'institution'. At fi
