Good Old Magic Balls

I found a jar of magic balls in my old cabinet.  I remembered these were the collections of my sister when she was in high school.  She was fond of this collection believing these would multiply after soaking into the water. Unsurprisingly, it did not.

Well, I was thinking of making these balls a little interesting to look at so I came up taking pictures of these in different angles and compositions. Let's see what these turned out.

The balls turned out to be a good monitor wallpaper. Many said I did great and they like my shots.  What can you say?

The Fall by Jenevie

This time, I will write a story
Something about love, something about you and me
I know it sounds so strange to be writing this one
But I will write about it coz I want to remember how it's done

The first time I saw you meant really nothing at all
But we became friends and that's when I knew I fall
There's just something in you that would make me forgot everything
Something that made me realize I was feeling this whole "LOVE " thing

We used to walk on the corridor side by side 
People were watching and I used to have this pride
Because someone like you walked with someone like me
Someone like you who, we knew, have been liked by many

You are someone everybody would fall for, its true
Pretty handsome, pretty cute, pretty kind and pretty cool
Smart, confident, strong and way far from being cruel
Too good to be true but baby its really you

You were the reason I smiled out of the blue
Why my heart burst out of happiness knowing I had you
Why I got plenty of chills whenever you were near
And why my world tend to stop when you disappeared

You are someone I wanna walk with everyday
Someone who would hold my hand when I thank God and pray
Someone I thought would never leave me alone
Who would take me to places I've never known

All those memories I've had with you
Were one of the best and you know its true
All the laughters and stories shared
Made me love you even more, I swear

I don't know how to end this and I don't want too
Coz honestly, I'm still hoping it would be me and you
That someday we would bump into each other and recall
The smiles, the laughter's, the love I've had for you and the FALL.

Depression

"Depression" is so underrated.

Do you have any idea what it’s like to not want to get out of the bed every morning, not wanting to go and deal with all the bullshit outside your room? Do you even know what it feels like to feel completely alone while you know there are millions of miserable people just like you? How about what it’s like to be completely repulsed by things you used to love?  To feel completely lost in the dark and not really knowing if there’s way out? To not have the strength to feel like you can make it through the whole day, let alone the next one, without breaking down? To not be able to explain how you feel at all? To have everyone constantly asking if you’re okay until it gets to a point where no one asks, making you wonder if they don’t notice or just don’t care?  To have no energy or drive to do anything? To feel completely worthless? To hate who you are and how you look? To feel like you have control over nothing? To know you don’t belong? To feel trapped inside a world full of ugly things but being scared of what's on the other side? To be hurting constantly? To know there’s no one to save you from the way you feel?  To know the only one who’s really hurting you is yourself?
