I'll let you in a little revelation about my favorite usernames in my virtual sites. First is about my Mikimoto Angel pen name. Mikimoto is a famous brand of pearl accessories in America. I first saw that brand in Vogue Magazine. I got mesmerized by that label, and I thought of using it. I just added Angel from my name "Angela". Thus, the formation of Mikimoto Angel.For my other pen name Mystic Nymph, the word mystic really came from the show Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. I used to be so hooked to that show. I am also obsessed with mythologies, and nymphs are mythical creatures depicted as beautiful young women who are considered as guardians of objects and places in nature. Thus, the evolution of Mystic Nymph.

Freak on a leash
I am totally freaking out! The Deviance Day is already out. The party's out too. Congratulations to Dora. She did a good job as expected. And now it's time to face the monitor and type everything that need to be written. This is going to be a hell hour. Anniversary speech rules this moment. It's the center of my boggling and confusing mind. But it's fine, at least tomorrow is another big celeb to focus on. Time has really elapsed that fast. Now it's Christmas again. School's out. High time to throw academic worries away.

My Poetic Thoughts
Giving meanings to words or ideas expressed is an innate thing to do. But it's up to us how we want it to be given out. I don't know how you would interpret my poems. But I am hoping that it gets even a kernel of your attention. Please read it. Better yet, critic it. So I would know what to improve.
These are the legendary five poems left in my closet. Some are gone with the wind. They're up to no good anyway. I won't bother much if I couldn't find them. I will be writing better ones. Of course, if they meet the standards of being "better". Oh well, these are my poems. Just the title. I will be posting my poems if I have a whole lot of time.
+ Dusk
+ Unleashing a Silhouette
+ Get Wild
+ Abstract of the Inner Core
+ What the weak has to Offer
Poetic Inclination
I should have known then that I do have an intense passion for poetry and literature. Those things matter a lot to me a great deal. Without those, I wouldn't be so contented just trifling the hours away in solitude.
I meant being alone to turning my thoughts into words. That's how much I love poems. I have written some. I got used to express myself through "abstract" poetry. Some would say they don't understand my work, but that's exactly my point. Not to make people perceive it. Mystery. That's it.
I don't know where on earth have I placed the poems I wrote in high school. They have long been gone. I only have five poems left in my box. And I'm planning to post them here in my blog. Let me know what you think about them.
Whenever I'm all alone with my cynical self, I play with words inside my head. That's how I make the most out of my time. It could be the reason why I'd rather be alone. It's better to be alone than to talk about senseless stuffs with senseless people.
Just a while ago, I realized that poetry is actually a form of literature. I nearly forgot. I almost thought that poetry is apart from literature.
I have to confess that I'm a frustrated poet. Truly. I am. And I don't think I'm good as Sylvia Plath or Izumi Shikibu or Margaret Atwood, but at least I have the heart and will to learn more.
It is true that words denote to things and events we experience. They also connote other things. That's how words unfold many aspects in our lives. That's how powerful words are. Abstract ideas are linked with concrete objects to embody an image. Indeed great.
I write through my experiences. Every detail happening in my life gives me all the more reason to love literature. Through it, the existence of these encounters have been made sensible.
Carl Sandberg once said that poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits. This passage tells us how wonderful poems are. It is stronger than any other language. It is created for the desire to escape the logical. Credits to our literature instructor who shared that idea.
Let me share you this poem from Margaret Atwood. The first time I read it, I was really stricken. I'm amazed by how she conveyed an extremely brutal idea in an extremely condensed form.
You fit into me
like a hook to an eye
a fish hook
an open eye.
I just hope I could also be as great as the greatest poets in our history. Well, I'm not really hoping. I'm dreaming.

Exhibition of the Cynical Surface
I want to be independent. Living in an unconventional way. A Bohemian life I guess. I don't want to worry about anything other than myself. Sounds so selfish right? It's so difficult when at the age you're supposed to enjoy your youth, you've been deprived of it. You know what I mean.
Just so you know, I'm trying to think about how it would be when you work while studying. I want to pay for every expenses I have. I just want to do everything on my own. Own money. Own sweat. Own strife.
I have a lot to whine now. All I want to do at the moment is whine, whine, whine. I hate it when I worry. I am such a big worrywart. Just like a man sandwiched by heaven and hell. I hate it.
Uncanny as it may seem bu I really want to be invisible and become a ghost even for only an hour or two. It would be ideal if I'd become one for a lifetime.
Let me just ask this questions. Why should everyone take life seriously? Why should life be this hard? Why should restrictions be present on everything? Of course I do know why. But I'm tired of being so tied down. I have always been tongue-tied, and it got me sick and weary.
How does it feel to have a laid back lifestyle? Someday, I will feel it too. I will be waiting for that moment. I believe in myself. I know I can succeed. My gain will let e go places. I can do everything my own way..someday. The right thing to do, is to just puke this day away.
Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world,
and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn,
and rise above the flames
Pardon me. Pardon me.
I'll never be the same.

Melodic Thoughts "I swear"
John Michael Montgomery
I see the questions in your eyes
I know whats weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
cause Ill stand beside you through the years
Youll only cry those happy tears
And though Ill make mistakes
Ill never break your heart
I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
Ill be there
I swear
Like the shadow thats by your side
Ill be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
Ill love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
Ill give you everything I can
Ill build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when theres silver in your hair
You wont have to ask if I still care
cause as time turns the page
My love wont age at all
I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
Ill be there
I swear
Like the shadow thats by your side
Ill be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
Ill love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
Ill be there
I swear
Like the shadow thats by your side
Ill be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
Ill love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I swear
Wedding Melodies on Air
I think it's about time to be open to marriage talks. I'm of legal age already and I'm not a kid anymore. Though my parents still execute a romantic relationship ban to us, I think it's not a bad thing when we look forward to have a married life. That's not a sin.
I know marriage is not only about how you love that person. It's not just having a wonderful feeling after the question has been popped. It's actually about a bond that will tie you to greater responsibilities other than your affair with that someone. Marriage is not just about the wedding. It's not just about lying down on a bed of roses with the one you choose to love forever.
But of course talking about weddings make me shiver for some reasons. Why do brides get so high about weddings? That's of course self-explanatory. that ring, their grooms handed them is bound to change their lives for better or for worse.
Though I'm neither a bride yet nor a bride-to-be, I have listed songs I want to be played while I walk down the aisle. My dream wedding is a garden wedding. the flowers,birds and trees all over could make the ambiance more romantic. I want it to be more like a JS Prom.
Let me share you this list of romantic songs. These are the ones I have always listened to whenever I feel like falling in love. I know it does sound cheesy. Let me get a life.
The list goes like this:
+ Love song by 311
+ Half Life by Duncan Sheik
+ Hanging by a Moment (acoustic) by Lifehouse
+ The Way You Love Me by Boyzone
+ Love of My Life by Southborder
+ Stigmatized by The Calling
+ Accidentally in Love by Counting Crows
+ Close by Paolo Santos
+ I will follow you into the dark by Deathcab for Cutie
+ Vulnerable by Roxette
+ Knock me off my feet by Stevie Wonder
+ Now and Forever by Richard Marx
+ When you believe by Myra
+ Love will find a way OST Lion King 2
+ I swear by John Michael Montgomery
These are just a few of them. Who would be that lucky man? Find out as he reigns supreme. Make me melt.
