Quatrains
Millenium I Century 1
Decade I Year 8
An old very ill powerful king of the Middle East shall choose a white bold but indecisive successor.
All the kingdom’s king and men and emirates will praise and honor him.
Except a small but powerful monarch.
All of the kingdom’s men will ask but set in furious and anger when heard of his response.
A short war will take place.
Year 9
An infamous man shall be tested for obedience from his comrades to kill his now- famous, philanthropic, politician son.
But driven by his conscience, he will not to do so in that particular time but rather run away,
Fled from east to as far as the west for his sorrow and guilt for himself.
Year 10
There stood a just but proud man.
By the time of danger he will be in his death thru a wound in his heart.
After his relatives, kin, wives and husbands shall separate and divorce,
Finding another partner shall see in poverty and despair
Words Soup for the Soul
“You are not one of the reasons why life is worth living, not one of the reason why I’m happy all day long, neither why I’ll never feel alone – you’ll never be one of the reasons, cause you’ll always be the only reason.”
“I was born with a heart, like the rest of us do have, but just recently I found it in half. Could you please check your heart? It might be holding my missing half.”
“Learn to love the person who is with you at present. Forget the person in the past and thank him instead for hurting you which lead you to love the person you have right now.”
“Angels don’t only have wings, they have mobile phones too that’s why this angels of yours is texting you right now, greeting you a warm hello and wishing you a blessed day.”
“Mornings are best part of the day! It’s a sign that God loves you by giving us another day to live and glorify Him! A chance to greet our friends, good morning.”
Bituing Walang Ningning / Lackluster Star Song Lyrics and English Translation
The song is sung by Miss Sharon Cuneta, a local Philippine actress and was the official theme song of the movie of the same title. I love the song so deep, so enthralling that makes me sob and teary eyed. You can sing the song if you want. Here is the music video of the song with the lyrics and some scenes from the movie. Included also here is the English translation of the lyrics. It is the official theme song of the movie of the same title "Bituing Walang Ningning" which was released in 1985 starring Sharon Cuneta, Christopher De Leon, Cherry Gil, Joel Torre, Tommy Abuel, Chanda Romero and the late Jay Ilagan among others.
Bituing Walang Ningning
by Sharon Cuneta
Kung minsan ang pangarap
Habambuhay itong hinahanap
Bakit nga ba nakapagtataka
'Pag ito ay nakamtan mo na
Bakit may kulang pa
Mga bituin aking narating
Ngunit langit ko pa rin ang iyong piling
Kapag tayong dalawa'y naging isa
Kahit na ilang laksang bituin
'Di kayang pantayan ating ningning
CHORUS 1
Balutin mo ako ng hiwaga ng iyong pagmamahal
Hayaang matakpan ang kinang na 'di magtatagal
Mabuti pa kaya'y maging bituing walang ningning
Kung kapalit nito'y walang paglaho mong pagtingin
CHORUS 2
Itago mo ako sa lilim ng iyong pagmamahal
Limutin ang mapaglarong kinang ng tagumpay
Sa piling mo ngayon ako'y bituing walang ningning
Nagkukubli sa liwanag ng ating pag-ibig
[Repeat 2nd Stanza]
[Repeat CHORUS 1]
[Repeat REFRAIN 2 except last line]
Nagkukubli sa liwanag at kislap ng ating pag-ibig
English Translation
Sometimes the dream
Is a lifelong search
Why is it a wonder
When you got it
Why is it not enough
The stars I've reached
But heaven is still being with you
When two of us become one
Even a thousand stars
Cannot equal by our brilliance
CHORUS 1
Wrap me in your enchanting love
Let it cover the glitter that will not last
It's better to be a star without its brilliance
If it would mean your love would last forever
CHORUS 2
Hide me in the shadow of your love
Forget the playful / deceiving brilliance of success
With you now I'm a star without glitter
Hiding in the light of our love
[Repeat 2nd Stanza]
[Repeat CHORUS 1]
[Repeat REFRAIN 2 except last line]
Hiding in the brightness and brilliance of our love
Another Version of the English Translation
Sometimes you search for your dreams
It takes your whole life to find it
But doesn't it make you wonder
When you finally achieve your dream
Why does it seem like something is still missing
I have reached the stars
But heaven is still being with you
When the two of us become one
Even a thousand stars would never outshine us
Wrap me in your enchanting love
Let it keep inside the glitter that may not last
I would rather be a star without its brilliance
If it would mean your love would last forever
Hide and shelter me in your love
Forget the deceiving brilliance of success
With you I am a star without a spark
Hidden by the brightness and glitter
of the love we now share

Miss Universe 2010 My Favorite Best in National Costumes
Miss Universe heat is on and everyone has their own favorites and rooting for their delegates. Though this year has been a bleak year for this once proud and prestigious pageant, it has been dwindling in popularity and prestige because commercialism and politics has been a major factor in the contest when the billionaire Donald Trump enter the picture. Yet extensive promotion and marketing of the pageant make it survive and resuscitated back to life somehow. I am also saddened by its fading prominence but I can't help but just have fun to its excitement by making my own predictions and wild guesses of who can make it because in the previous years I guessed some of the delegates correctly who made it as semifinalists or have received the coveted special awards so here I am making my own list of favorites. I'll also post my final favorites of top 20 favorites for the Miss Universe crown after the preliminary competition.
One of the coveted special awards of the pageant is the best in national costume wherein candidates wear a unique dress which best represent its country of origin. Here's my favorite picks for the Best in National Costume award.

Words Soup for the Soul
“Sometimes love is just like walking on a one-way street, but no matter how long it is, there’s always bound to be an intersection where two roads meet.”
“Love is like a knife, it can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that will last a lifetime.”
“Last night, I was making a list of friends whom I consider special. Well sorry I didn’t put you on the list. Instead I place your name in my heart.”
“Does it hurt more to be close to someone you love and does not love you in return or does it hurt less to be apart from someone you love, not knowing if he loves you too.”
“True love start by being friends, for with friendship comes acceptance, with acceptance comes trust, with trust comes respect and along the way love develops.”

Quatrains or Predictions
Quatrains is the famous four line stanza prophecy used by the celebrated seer, Nostradamus in foretelling the events happening years, decades or centuries into the future. He uses astrology or the behavior of the heavenly bodies in crafting the poem because astrologers believe that objects in the sky greatly influence or has a gravitational pull over the Earth – thus events unfolded.
I made my personal version of quatrains just to intensify the clarity of my insight and enhance my fluency and enrich my vocabulary. I would like to warn the readers that these quatrains are not accurate and not conclusive. I divided my quatrains into millenniums, centuries, decades & year. These are the first few of the quatrains.
Millenium I Century 1
Decade 1 Year 1 - Four nation at sea will be converted
They shall inherit blessings & abundance
Whole nation in abundance
Year 2 - A desert nation shall be driven to
tempation of an evil war.
Three strategies shall prove to fail.
All will end in peace and humility.
Year 3 - Leaders of West shall come to honor & praise a humble nation of the Orient.
They shall bring wealth & prosperity to people.
The last leader to praise was a false one.
He shall be criticized for an obvious pretention.
