MAUD MULLER

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)

MAUD MULLER, on a summer's day,
Raked the meadows sweet with hay.

Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth
Of simple beauty and rustic health.

Singing, she wrought, and her merry glee
The mock-bird echoed from his tree.

But, when she glanced to the far-off town,
White from its hill-slope looking down,

The sweet song died, and a vague unrest
And a nameless longing filled her breast--

A wish, that she hardly dared to own,
For something better than she had known.

The Judge rode slowly down the lane,
Smoothing his horse's chestnut mane.

He drew his bridle in the shade
Of the apple-trees, to greet the maid,

And ask a draught from the spring that flowed
Through the meadow across the road.

She stooped where the cool spring bubbled up,
And filled for him her small tin cup,

And blushed as she gave it, looking down
On her feet so bare, and her tattered gown.

"Thanks!" said the Judge, "a sweeter draught
From a fairer hand was never quaffed."

He spoke of the grass and flowers and trees,
Of the singing birds and the humming bees;

Then talked of the haying, and wondered whether
The cloud in the west would bring foul weather.

And Maud forgot her briar-torn gown,
And her graceful ankles bare and brown;

And listened, while a pleasant surprise
Looked from her long-lashed hazel eyes.

At last, like one who for delay
Seeks a vain excuse, he rode away,

Maud Muller looked and sighed: "Ah, me!
That I the Judge's bride might be!

"He would dress me up in silks so fine,
And praise and toast me at his wine.

"My father should wear a broadcloth coat;
My brother should sail a painted boat.

"I'd dress my mother so grand and gay,
And the baby should have a new toy each day.

"And I'd feed the hungry and clothe the poor,
And all should bless me who left our door."

The Judge looked back as he climbed the hill,
And saw Maud Muller standing still.

"A form more fair, a face more sweet,
Ne'er hath it been my lot to meet.

"And her modest answer and graceful air
Show her wise and good as she is fair.

"Would she were mine, and I to-day,
Like her, a harvester of hay:

"No doubtful balance of rights and wrongs,
Nor weary lawyers with endless tongues,

"But low of cattle, and song of birds,
And health, and quiet, and loving words."

But he thought of his sisters, proud and cold,
And his mother, vain of her rank and gold.

So, closing his heart, the Judge rode on,
And Maud was left in the field alone.

But the lawyers smiled that afternoon,
When he hummed in court an old love-tune;

And the young girl mused beside the well,
Till the rain on the unraked clover fell.

He wedded a wife of richest dower,
Who lived for fashion, as he for power.

Yet oft, in his marble hearth's bright glow,
He watched a picture come and go:

And sweet Maud Muller's hazel eyes
Looked out in their innocent surprise.

Oft when the wine in his glass was red,
He longed for the wayside well instead;

And closed his eyes on his garnished rooms,
To dream of meadows and clover-blooms.

And the proud man sighed, with a secret pain,
"Ah, that I were free again!

"Free as when I rode that day,
Where the barefoot maiden raked her hay."

She wedded a man unlearned and poor,
And many children played round her door.

But care and sorrow, and child-birth pain,
Left their traces on heart and brain.

And oft, when the summer sun shone hot
On the new-mown hay in the meadow lot,

And she heard the little spring brook fall
Over the roadside, through the wall,

In the shade of the apple-tree again
She saw a rider draw his rein,

And, gazing down with timid grace,
She felt his pleased eyes read her face.

Sometimes her narrow kitchen walls
Stretched away into stately halls;

The weary wheel to a spinnet turned,
The tallow candle an astral burned;

And for him who sat by the chimney lug,
Dozing and grumbling o'er pipe and mug,

A manly form at her side she saw,
And joy was duty and love was law.

Then she took up her burden of life again,
Saying only, "It might have been."

Alas for maiden, alas for Judge,
For rich repiner and household drudge!

God pity them both! and pity us all,
Who vainly the dreams of youth recall;
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: "It might have been!"

Ah, well! for us all some sweet hope lies
Deeply buried from human eyes;

And, in the hereafter, angels may
Roll the stone from its grave away!

10 Things I Hate About You

“I hate the way you talk to me.

And the way you cut your hair.

(I hate the way you drive my car.)

I hate it when you stare,

I hate your big dumb combat boots.

And the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick -

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right.

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh -

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it that you're not around.

And the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you -

not even close,

not even a little bit,

not any at all.”

-Katarina 'Kat' Stratford

AND SO I WONDER

WHY
bitter starts with the letter "b" like better?

and

WHY
sour starts with the letter "s" like sweet?

Many 2 Mention

My first CD. bow.

Technically my first original CD was a -- Nursey Ryhmes. My dad bought it for me when I was on my third grade. While my brother was telling me to buy Steps album that that of Nursery Rhymes.

I was crazy about M2M when I was in Elementary. I relate to every song in their album. I wanted to learn how to play the guitar, I envied Marit's red acoustic Gibson. My brother says M2M's chords are not that simple (is complex the right term here?) though.

Anyway, when I was in grade six I bought myself my very first CD . Oh yeah, the Norwegian pop duo - Marion Raven and Marit Larsen. M2M's Shades of Purple consist of 11 tracks:

"Don't Say You Love Me" – 3:46

"The Day You Went Away" – 3:43

"Girl in Your Dreams" – 3:31

"Mirror Mirror" – 3:21

"Pretty Boy" – 4:40

"Give a Little Love" – 3:59

"Everything You Do" – 4:02

"Don't Mess With My Love" – 3:44

"Dear Diary" – 3:58

"Do You Know What You Want" – 4:06

"Smiling Face" – 4:15

"Our Song" – 3:54

"Why" – 4:20

Summer time before I entered my High School as a freshman, I played my M2M on speakers aloud. My dad heard it. He reacted, "Ano ba 'yan, parang pusang ingaw na ingaw." From that day on, I stopped listening to them. I welcomed Limp Bizkit, KoRn, RATM, and LP wide arms open.

Today, I still listen to M2M (and from time to time I do listen to that Nursery Ryhmes CD too!), especially when the power is out and the only thing I have is discman and AA batteries. I appreciate their songs entirely when its dark, really perfect when the power is down.

Shades of Purple
1. Don't Say You Love Me

M2M's first single world-wide hit, included in Pokémon OST album.

2. The Day You Went Away

Hits #1 when I was in High School.

3. Girl In Your Dreams

4. Mirror Mirror

5. Pretty Boy

Whenever I hear this song, I remember a boy. Damn! Such a pretty boy. He used to be. He still is in my memory!

6. Give a Little Love

7. Everything You Do



6. Don't Mess with My Love

This song reminds me of my friend who had been with a boy who was into me before he was into her. A long story about my life a very long time ago.

7. Dear Diary

You're my secret hiding place,

Where my private thoughts are safe.

And just one look and he will see,

What's inside of me.

8. Do You Know What You Want

9. Smiling Face

:)

10. Our Song

"Our Song" uses the chorus of the Bee Gees' hit single "Too Much Heaven" as its own chorus.Wikipedia

nope, i STILL refuse to pass on your chain letter.

There's only two chain letters that, so far, caught my attention.

The first one will give me good luck if I pass it on to other 15 people. It says something good will happen to me around 1:45 pm the next day. I don't remember anything good that happened, oh yeah, because I didn't pass this letter. The whole message makes sense but I still refused to pass on the letter.

The second one will bring me bad luck for 7 years if I don't pass on the chain letter. Wow! That's tough. I'm through with two years of bad luck, I only have 5 remaining years of bad luck. I'm a Virgo, surprisingly, every word describes me perfectly! I refused to pass on this letter.

FW: when a girl is quiet

When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind.
When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply.
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how
long you will be around.
When a GIRL answers ' I'm fine ' after a few seconds ... she is not at all
fine.
When a GIRL stares at you she is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL lays on your chest .. she is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered.
When a GIRL says ' I love you ' .. she means it.
When a GIRL says ' I miss you ' .... no one in this world can miss you more than
that.
Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person ....
Find a guy .. who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
who calls you back when you hang up on him.
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who ... kisses
your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he
is to have you.
Who turns to his friends and says, ' That's her!!
If you open this you have to repost it, guy or girl, or you will have bad luck
for the rest of your life!!!!!
If I don't get this back I guess your not my friend. If you have a lot of love for
someone.
copy and send this to your whole list. In 5 minutes your true love will call or
message you.
Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like you. Something good
will happen to you at approx. 1:42pm tomorrow, it could be anywhere.
So get ready for the biggest shock of your life. If you break this chain,you
will be cursed with relationship problems for the most important time of your
life.

bo-boo-bo-booooze-boo

The first time I tasted beer was when I was in grade three.

The first inuman session I went to was when I was in grade six after the First Communion.

I've been drunk myself just twice. I promised myself it will never happen again. I lived to that promised 'till to this day. Or should I say, I still get drunk but I will never lose control again due to alcohol.

It was December of 2003, when I attended a little reunion of my elementary classmates. I remember I had a crush to one our guy classmates. Unfortunately he didn't went to the reunion that night. I was feeling a little frustrated, I started drinking. And started grabbing someone else's drinks. I got drunk. Then, my crush dropped by when I was completely drunk! The rest is history.

Still in high school, I got drunk in a birthday celebration party of my female close friend slash classmate, I let myself get drunk again! During these days, I was a little heart-broken so I indulged myself. So, there I go again. I did the most random things -- craziest, funniest, most entertaining, and the wildest! I ended up embarrassing myself in front of my today's closest friends.

I promised I'll never let myself get drunk EVER again. Why? Cause I'm missing the fun! When I get drunk, I forget all the funny things that happen during the whole party the very next day. It fucking hurts to vomit all the foods you ate and all the drinks you drunk. Hangovers hurt for days.

Both of parents are never heavy drinkers type neither my brother. Well, they do drink occasionally. My mom can control herself when she gets drunk, as I remember. My dad can't. When he gets drunk, he'll go straight to sleep either there's a bed around or a couch or whatever.. the floor will do! As for my brother, he only get exposed to drinking sessions because he's in a baaand. Yes, he claims he's a rocker.. er.. a rockstar.

Today, when I'm in a party or drinking sessions I only take two to three shots. That's it. When I meet new people, I always always say I don't drink. That's a lie. I do drink but it's only when I'm around with the people I know, and I can trust.

I finished high school and when I entered college that's when I started the big lie. Every people I met during college, I tell them I don't drink. Period. Of course, I let my college friends see me get drunk during out summer outing just after the graduation. I accepted all the shots they offered me, I didn't skip a single shot until I fell asleep. What I didn't know while I was snoring or sleeping with my mouth open, I'm not sure how I looked like, my college male friend was already suffering from his asthma. I completely had no idea he was nearly dying, the fact that he was sitting beside me. The next day, I woke up to throw up. It felt good.

These days, there are times I want to drink alone. It only occurs when I really really get frustrated with how my days go by. I drink with my high school friends, they know me, they know the limit of my alcohol consumption. At work, with my officemates today, my lies are just getting started, you know what I mean, right?

So remember, I don't drink and drive.

'Cos I don't drive.

And I don't drink.

Wear a Smile!

Ever heard of that line?

Recently, Coca-Cola used this line for their new ad campaign

together with Bench clothing line.

Wear a smile today!

Wear a smile everyday!

Yup, wear a smile.

A smile fits all, so wear it.

Wear a smile 'cos for free!

Share it with others.

You probably be wearing your best suit or dress,

but don't forget to wear your smile.

A person's face is brighter when he or she wears a smile.

The world is brighter if we all wear a smile.

Some people gets too busy, they forget to wear theirs.

Wear yours for when they see you, they'll remember to wear theirs.

Who'd You Rather?

The Followills, famously known as Kings of Leon.

L-R Nathan Followill (drums), Caleb Followill (vocals and rhythm guitar), Jared Followill (bass), and Matthew Followill (lead guitar)

Who'd you rather?
	Nathan
	Caleb
	Jared
	Matthew

BOTH PARTIES ARE DEFINITELY REQUIRED TO HANDLE EACH OTHER WITH CARE..

or else, it's going to be a struggle for the other half

or totally not going to work out.

"Medyo neurotic at weird pero masarap masaktan."-A Bullet

Punching Bag. A real relationship is about give and take, yes, this sounds cliché but it's true. It's like two boxers inside the ring giving and taking each other punches. Punches here, ladies and gentlemen, means something like that bad shits in his life he/she needs to share with someone willing to take care of him/her. It's very unhealthy and unfair for a person to just throw out punches to a person who can't give out his/her share of punches.

Confidence and importance. If you truly love a person, you will make him or her confident being with you as he/she faces the world. Everyday you'll exert extra effort to make him/her feel important because you have her/him and because he/she has someone like you.

Constant communication. Open communication is the golden rule to any kind of relationship, it applies to your family members, friends, officemates, classmates and of course, to someone you are committed to. An open communication is done through; asking, answering or voluntarily speaking out. Listening is part of a well-open communication. As well as honesty. Confrontation though is a different matter.

Clown, not really. It's very essential in any relationship where both parties can make each other crack the funny bone. Men being born naturally with sense of humor printed on their DNA's should make his girl laugh often than the other way around. When a man feels stressed with his surrounding, may it be because of his work or some family problems, it's not right for him to frequently treat a girl as his private clown ready to cheer him up at any time. Men instantly forget all the bad shit in this world once he saw the one he loves.
